Four Ferris State University men's tennis players received All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) recognition for the 2006-07 campaign in an announcement made today (April 24) by the league office. The awards were presented in conjunction with the league's annual postseason tournament held this past Saturday and Sunday (April 21-22) at the Midland (Mich.) Community Tennis Center.
Northwood's Teddy Mebounou claimed GLIAC Player of the Year laurels, Antoine Marenaud of Wayne State earned GLIAC Freshman of the Year honors and Northwood's Zane Colestock garnered GLIAC Coach of the Year recognition.
The league's eight head coaches participated in the balloting process. Nine student-athletes were named to both the first and second-team squads while five others tallied honorable mention laurels.
The 5-7 Chellappa, who's currently ranked fifth in the latest (April 6) Fila Division II Great Lakes Regional Singles Rankings, has posted a 14-6 overall singles mark to date this campaign. In addition, he's also presently recorded a 16-6 doubles ledger in his initial Bulldog season this year. Chellappa and junior Corey Banghart (Hinsdale, Ill./Central) are ranked sixth regionally in doubles play. Chellappa won five of his seven GLIAC singles matches and finished with a 4-3 league regular-season doubles record this year.
Karazia is currently 5-11 overall in singles play along with 8-9 in doubles action during the 2006-07 season. The 5-7 Karazia previously compiled 11-10 singles and 13-10 doubles records for the Bulldogs in 2005-06 before moving up to the second spot in the lineup this year. Karazia compiled a 2-3 GLIAC singles record this campaign, but was 3-1 in conference doubles action.
Anderson won both four of his seven league singles and doubles encounters in his first season with the Bulldogs. The 6-1 Anderson currently maintains a 6-9 overall singles record this year and is 9-8 to date in doubles play. Anderson has won his last two doubles tilts this season.
Finally, the 5-11 Brundle presently is 11-8 in singles competition and holds a 14-5 doubles record this year. The only senior on the Bulldog roster, Brundle owns career marks of 18-15 (singles) and 27-15 (doubles) at Ferris State. Brundle was 5-2 in GLIAC singles play and teamed with junior Jeremiah DeJose (Detroit, Mich./Ortonville-Brandon) to record a team-leading 6-1 conference doubles record this campaign. The duo presently holds a six-match winning streak and has won eight of their last 10 decisions.
Ferris State, which is ranked third in the latest (April 6) Fila Division II Great Lakes Regional Rankings, placed fifth overall at the GLIAC Tournament this season under interim head coach Tom Daglis. The Bulldogs, who are presently 10-7 overall this season, hope to receive a bid to compete in the NCAA Division II Championships slated to be held May 3-5 at campus sites when the official announcement is made later this week.
The Bulldog men's tennis team made its 12th all-time tournament bid during the 2005-06 season.

Remember last March when a very shirtless Zac Efron showed off a new tattoo on his inner bicep when he went skateboarding in SoCal? Well a new report out today is claiming that he got a new tattoo very near the bicep tattoo he got last year … as evidence, a new photo of Zac getting the tattoo has made its way online. BUT, it's unclear if the photo is new (ie. for a new tattoo) or if it's older (ie. taken last year when he got his bicep tattoo). Whatever the case may be, Zac is lookin' super hot in the photo as he lays shirtless while the tattoo artist inks his arm. Check out the photo below and see what you think.
He used to have a clean cut image as one of the stars of Disney hit High School Musical. But it seems like Zac Efron wants to be a bad boy instead, after getting a third tattoo in the space of a year in Studio City, Los Angeles earlier this month. He was getting some fresh ink on the inside of his right bicep, close to the double feather image he had etched last year. He also showed how close he is to daytime chatshow queen Ellen DeGeneres by wearing a pair of her underwear, with its band peeking out above his jeans. Zac, 24, also tried to put on a brave face, giving a cool surfers salute to the camera as he had his picture taken. It is unclear exactly what he was having inscribed …
See, I dunno that this photo shows Zac getting a new tattoo … it looks like the photo was taken last year when he got his feather tattoo on his arm. The only thing about this photo that says to me that the photo might be newer is that Zac is wearing The Ellen DeGeneres Show underwear. I guess we will just HAVE to see more photos of shirtless Zac skateboarding (or whatever) so we can closely inspect his inner arm and determine if he got a new tattoo or not. I know it's a tough job … but someone has to do it ;)

Spartans look to upset top seed Bozeman
MISSOULA, Mont. - The Sentinel Spartans enter this year's playoffs as the #8 seed but the team's mentality heading into the postseason is that they can compete with the top teams.
"We've kind of taken an approach that we expect to be there," says Sentinel head coach Dane Oliver. "We had our expectations to make the playoffs, make a run and our goal is to compete for a state championship. This is a barrier in our way it's an opportunity for us to prove if we're at that level."
"First round of the playoffs isn't good enough and neither is the second round," says Spartan senior Austin Violette. "State championship is our goal and we're not so much looking at it that we have to play Bozeman, it's that Bozeman has to play us even though we're going to their house."
When Sentinel takes on the undefeated Bozeman Hawks on Friday, it will be the second meeting between these two teams. The Hawks know they can't take the Spartans for granted.
"You know it's tough to beat a team twice in a row, says Bozeman senior Will Dissly. "They've gotten a lot better, we've looked on film they're physical they're going to bring a lot of pressure so we're definitely going to have to pay our best game."
"You know any time you have to play somebody in the same season and beat them twice is difficult," says Bozeman head coach Troy Purcell. "We played them at the beginning of the year and nobody knew where anybody was at at that time. They prove week in and week out that they're a very good opponent, they're definitely a threat out there they're definitely a good football team."
Friday's game kicks off at 7pm in Bozeman.

How I love the internet : http://www.ehow.com/way_5161306_do-d...y-blender.html
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
I have beef stew cooking on the stove...I am still adjusting to having an electric stovetop and the first thing I now love about it is it's so easy to clean....I find my fairly new gas stove at home a pain to clean and I don't like the grates being so high from the flame...I think it's a waste of energy..my old stove wasn't like that...
My sister uses Bisquick alot...I think I used it once in my life..seriously....I think it's because my stepmom made strawberry short cake using biscuick and it turned out hard as a rock!! I never forgot it...I have a craving for Boston Creme Pie...think I'll make some vanilla pudding instead!! I'm getting hungry...maybe I should go eat something..
Lots of chatter here, solving problems, loving dgc, and June blocks. Yes, that recipe is one way, QuiltE. The Amish Cookbook I have of 'Ever ready biscuit mix' is enough for everyone in the virtual RV...12c. flour, 4 Tablespoons of baking powder, 2 Tablespoons of salt and 2 c. lard. Mix crumbs with hands and store in tight container. When ready to use add a little water...place on baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
Basically, its the dry ingredients stored so you can take it out and complete the recipe by adding the liquid ingredients. Often its done for a Christmas present...putting all the dry ingredients together to make cookies (cake or bread), and adding the recipe to complete the cookie dough or cake dough or bread dough. I have small books of many recipes to do this and have received them as 'gifts'. 'Blending' can be done by using a fork or knife or spoon; my dgm always used a spoon, so when I seen a 'blender', metal tool to cut the shortening into the flour, at my MIL, I had to ask what it was...and they laughed at me. So your question can be asked in any language, Anael, but I think you handle your English very well.
My Grandmother never had a lot of monies to just 'buy' something if she could do without she did. She was German-Dutch with one grandmother from England...always made the best from what life handed her...and meet that with a smile on her face.
Back to the sewing room where we are completing the kids Christmas gifts for 2 years ago Christmas..place mats and table runners with the new machine.
Thank you QNS for the directions of making the mix, the stories and your compliments
It's getting late here (10.45 pm) and tomorrow I have a lot to do so I'm calling it a day. CU all tomorrow!
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
Here is a sneak peek of the progress I am making. I hope to finish the cross hatching today and get the side triangles finished, then I think I will be cruising to the finish line. This has taken me a lot longer than I had planned but it is looking good.
Anael I love Impossible Pie, one of my favourites, think I will have to raid your fridge tonight
Well I was gonna tell ya'll about puttin' a bid in on a new house that is in a nicer part o' town & has 1 acre w/it. We started talkin' ta the realitor & all the talk o' preapproval's, back & forth bids & we have kinda backed off a bit. It brought all the memories o' tryin' ta buy the house a couple o' years ago. That turned inta a nightmare. I have an epidural tamarrow. So we should wait a bit. We will be able ta DMIL's financial adviser in the next few days. No since in jumpin' too fast. Our finances are so much different (better) than they were 2 years ago but it gits a bit scary.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Oh Mirabelle, you do such beautiful quilting....just so beautiful...............
Dublb...If it's meant to happen...it will...Good luck with the epidural tamorrow..
Last edited by Honchey; 05-05-2013 at 05:32 PM.
Thanks so much ya'll. The wind has gone out o' my sales.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Wait for the next gust of wind; it will come. What will be, will be, the future is not ours to see.
Mirabelle, beautiful work.
As the days roll into months and the months into years that are flying by all to soon, celebrate each day; once here, this day does not come again....waste not, want not...use every second of everyday wisely... love and be loved.
Anael ... I made the pie tonight. Halved the ingredients. And sadly did not have any coconut to add for some pizzazz to it! Another time!!! Of course, you know that OKSGlad and I, as dairy farmers *shudder* when we see/hear the M word!!
Honchey ... when I redid my kitchen at the farm I had my first experience with propane, and bought a cooktop, based on the salesman's advice. Oh how I soon learned the perils of cleaning it. When I came to this house, experience had been a good teacher. I knew I wanted gas, and did some serious shopping to make it as easy to clean as possible. I ended up with a stainless steel cooktop and a very simple grid plate, to simplify the cleaning. I've loved it!! And would you believe, I've never had Boston Cream Pie! Your stew smells oh so good .... I always do mine in the crockpot, so I don't have to watch it, and I know it'll be perfect!
QNSue ... so nice to see the "we" word as the two of you work together with your new machine!! Looking forward to seeing the finished projects. Your Amish cookbook ... is it the "More With Less" book. It's a favourite of mine and a go to for delicious good ol' fashioned cooking!
MiraB ... My goodness ... look at your incredible quilting. So detailed, even in the narrow border. And so many different FMQ designs. Can't wait to see the whole thing! I can't help but wonder if you ever stop to breathe?
DublB ... ditto to MiraB's "if it's meant to happen, it will ...".
Good Luck tomorrow.
I ended up WORKing today ... and as I did so, I did laundry, baked, etc.
I'll likely be heading out of town tomorrow for a few days ... partly WORK, partly play!
So if you think I am AWOL .... you now know why, in case I forget to say it later!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!

If you've been following our blog, you'll know that the Data Insights team here at Forrester has been tracking the evolution of US healthcare reform over the past three years and its implications in terms of consumer behavior, attitudes, and expectations. Our study began in July 2012, when we advised health insurance companies how to prepare for the flood of new customers entering the market. Two years later, my colleague Gina Fleming extended this analysis into Forrester's Healthcare Segmentation, which provides a refined understanding of key customer profiles. Now, with our 2015 Consumer Technographics® Healthcare Survey just back from field, we can complement our understanding of the US consumer health insurance market with another layer of insight: the member's journey to purchasing health insurance:
Posted by Anjali Lai on the Data Insights Professionals Blog on June 27, 2014
Recently, I've been on the go: I've just returned from a two-week sprint that took me to five different cities by plane, train, and car. Any frequent traveler is familiar with the logistical challenges that make multimode transport inconvenient – whether it's dashing between connecting flights or strategizing a taxi pickup to catch the train, switching between methods of transportation can make for a trying, disjointed journey overall.
As I settled into one flight by turning off my mobile phone and opening my laptop, it dawned on me that our path through the fragmented digital world is similar to my multiphase journey. As our physical location changes and as we realize the limitations of certain device experiences, we reach for various devices to carry out the task at hand – often, we complete one activity sequentially across screens and expect a seamless experience.
In fact, Forrester's Consumer Technographics® data shows that more than half of US online adults who begin tasks on their mobile phone continue them on their laptop. These consumers are most frequently purchasing products, checking emails, and researching items:

Commentary: Making Better Budget Choices
Authored by Peg Dierkers and Stephen Drachler, co-chairs of the Better Choices for Pennsylvania Coalition, and originally published in the Delaware County Daily Times.
At a nursing home outside Pittsburgh, a man visits daily with his 68-year-old wife, who is gripped by severe dementia. He holds her hand and worries about what state budget cuts will mean for her care.
In Erie, Michelle and her two young girls found refuge from abuse at SafeNet's emergency shelter. SafeNet worked closely with the family, but limited state funding limited their stay, even though Michelle needed more time to find permanent housing and get back on her feet.
In Ridley Township, a father took his 19-month-old girl with severe brain malformations to the hospital for a regular treatment in January only to learn that she no longer had health coverage. She was one of the 63,000 kids statewide to have their public health coverage cut off. Turns out her paperwork was sitting on a caseworker's desk.
These are the Pennsylvanians affected by state budget decisions made over the past five years.
The news is as bad for Pennsylvania's economy as it is for these families. State cuts have resulted in lost jobs in schools, nursing care facilities and hospitals.
Before the recession hit, Pennsylvania was on a very different track, investing to prepare our young people for the changing economy and spurring private investment in cities and towns. We did this, while not forgetting our grandparents, our children, and people living with disabilities.
The recession drove down state tax collections, forcing policymakers to make choices. Health and human services were cut under Gov. Rendell and the Legislature. And it got worse when Gov. Corbett and the new Legislature took office last year. Children have lost health care, and victims of violence have fewer places to turn.
The current budget undermines investments in higher education and our schools, especially those that serve kids from struggling families. It actually proposes to spend $2 on prisons for every dollar on colleges and universities.
How can we expect to prepare a well-educated workforce and a new generation of leaders when our government continues to cut funding for educating them?
The pattern continues in the new budget. Cuts to health care could prevent children from seeing a doctor when they get sick or limit the ability of people with disabilities from living independently. Cuts to full-day kindergarten and early childhood education will limit opportunities for our youngest children to get a head start in life.
Funding is eliminated for a program providing temporary assistance for very low-income adults who are sick or living with a disability, victims of domestic violence, or completing drug and alcohol treatment. County programs that help keep individuals with intellectual disabilities in lower cost community-based care rather than in institutions are on the chopping block. Cuts to health care funding threaten the care and safety of seniors.
This is not about cutting waste but rather pulling the rug out from under the people hit hardest by the recession.
There are better choices. Pennsylvania lawmakers can avoid deep cuts that hurt children, families and seniors without raising taxes.
Lawmakers must find smart cost-savings and efficiencies. The time has also come to close tax loopholes that allow profitable multi-state corporations to avoid paying state taxes. This is a luxury we can no longer afford and one that few states tolerate any more.
We should also delay tax cuts, such as a planned reduction in the state's capital stock and franchise tax, until the economy recovers more. Over the years, tax cuts have shaved billions off the tax bills of corporations in Pennsylvania, but we haven't gotten billions in new jobs.
At the end of the day, state spending cuts mean less growth, higher local taxes and college tuition, and a workforce unprepared for tomorrow's economy. It means lost opportunities for our kids and less help for our parents and grandparents.
We need to get back on the right track by taking bold steps to rebuild Pennsylvania's economy, not continuing corporate tax cuts that haven't produced the promised jobs. Pennsylvania must take a balanced approach that looks for efficiencies, closes loopholes and delays unaffordable tax cuts.
We must once again make job-creating investments in education, health care and infrastructure, while doing everything possible to ensure that people can work, get the help they need and live productive lives.
The Legislature has an opportunity to do the right thing – to stand with worried families, seniors and our youngest children. Our state's economy and well-being depend on it.
Peg Dierkers is executive director of the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Stephen Drachler is executive director of United Methodist Advocacy in Pennsylvania. They are also co-chairs of the Better Choices for Pennsylvania Coalition.

Individuals who were underweight at birth are at increased risk of developing a condition called secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, according to a new study. Because birth history is often overlooked by kidney specialists who take care of adult patients, this risk factor is likely to be under-recognized.
Patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis develop scarring of glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidney. This development can cause a decline in kidney function and leakage of protein into the urine.
Low birth weight (less than 5.5 pounds) caused by prematurity or slow growth prior to birth is a risk factor for adult hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other diseases. However, its association with the development of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis has not been reported.
To investigate this potential link, Vivette D'Agati, MD, of the Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York City, NY, and her colleagues studied six patients (two women and four men) who had clinical indications of this condition and who were born prematurely and of a very low birth weight. The patients' average age was 32 years, and their average birth weight was 3.3 pounds. They all were born between 22 and 30 weeks of gestation, compared with full-term babies who are born between 37 and 42 weeks.
The researchers performed urine tests that measured whether protein was leaking into the urine and blood tests that indicated how well the patients' kidneys were functioning. They also biopsied the patients' kidneys to analyze the tissue. All of their measurements and tests indicated that the patients had developed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
The authors noted that because new nephrons—the filtering structures of the kidney—are not formed after birth, an individual's supply of nephrons is dependent on the environment in the uterus prior to birth and the extent of a fetus' growth and development. If an individual is born with a deficiency of nephrons, their kidneys may become strained, which can lead to declines in kidney function over time. This may be the scenario for individuals who were born prematurely and who go on to develop focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
"Premature babies with very low birth weights may develop renal disease in adolescence or adulthood that is a consequence of retarded kidney development and overwork of the kidney," said Dr. D'Agati. "Doctors need to be aware of this association so that the condition is not misdiagnosed or treated inappropriately," she added.

Opera Boys at their Baddest!
They can be found lurking in the shadows, deceiving young maidens or occupying centre-stage as loud and brash patriarchs - the bad boys of opera appear in almost every opera, and this fall, Opera Workshop showcases just how bad these boys can be! Playing November 2 and 3 at 8 pm in the University Recital Hall, Bad Boys of Opera delight audiences with a sampler of opera's greatest moments featuring boys at their baddest.
Director Dr. Blaine Hendsbee has selected repertoire that showcase the talents of his ensemble. "I've got a great cast of young men who can play these great male characters and I also have an exceptional ensemble of women as well. Often the male character or 'bad boy' of the opera creates a great foil for the heroine to play off of. We'll see this, among many other scenarios, in the selections we're performing," says Hendsbee.
Scenes from Madame Butterfly, Carmen, Hansel and Gretel, The Marriage of Figaro, and Don Giovanni are featured on the program along with other operatic offerings, such as selections from Carlisle Floyd's Susannah, Igor Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress, and Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore.
"The male characters we're focusing on can be anything from charming, to deceiving to just plain evil!" Hendsbee explains. "We don't really see the bad boy, per se, in Madame Butterfly, but we do see the effects that a bad boy has on the heroine, who is isolated and has become an outcast because of her man. In Susannah, we see another beautiful heroine, who has become an outcast of her village as well. The Preacher, in this opera, casts her down, and everything goes terribly wrong for her. And, in a great scene from Don Giovanni the servant, Leporello, is our featured bad boy, posing as Don Giovani. "
Opera Workshop never fails to charm audiences; it's an extravagant evening of operatic opulence! Tickets are available at the University Box Office, Monday – Friday 12:30 pm – 3:30 pm, or call (403) 329-2616. Individual tickets are $15 regular, $10 seniors/students. Regular tickets are also available online, www.uleth.ca/tickets.

Surprise: Mac iWorm Spreads through Pirated Apps
When news of Mac.BackDoor.iWorm for the Mac hit the Web last week, the way the malware threat spread was still something of a mystery, but that's been uncovered now, too: pirated software. Like so many other malware threats, attackers are using the promise of free software as a trojan horse to trick victims trying to save a buck into installing the iWorm payload.

2012 Focus SE Suspension
Hey all,
I'm looking into lowering my car, the only thing is I do plan on doing some autox with it so I want to make sure I lower it right.
Anyways what do you guys think the best bang for my buck setup would be?
I was thinking some combination of front and rear sway bars plus coilovers. Yet, I wouldn't be opposed to going the springs plus dampers route instead of coils.
I forgot to mention in my first post that I plan on doing the STF class.
Also I was looking at the different coilover options and was wondering if I would be okay doing one of these.
H&R Coil-over
ST Coil-over
I'd rather go with the STs as they are cheaper, that is unless the H&Rs are substantially better.
My first recommendation is finding out how your car runs stock, first.
If you can't leave it alone :P I would go ST coilovers, camber plates and a rear sway bar. And tires, get some good tires. Otherwise it won't matter what suspension you have.
I probably will run it first. But I'm not planning on doing anything to it because of autox I just want to make sure what I do doesn't screw it up.
Well if you're not lowering it for autocross, then any coilover on the market would be fine for the occasional autocross/track day. Both of the ones you posted will handle this and more.
Well, you're on the right track if you want to lower the car and still do ok at autox. ST and HR are both good options.
Stuff I see as doing it wrong includes: cutting springs, doing springs but no damping, springs with poor damping, and springs that are not stiff enough for the suspension travel available.
Thanks for the info.
Btw, I love your sig. "Hella Functional - Raced, Not Hard Parked"
Thanks, unfortunately I can't claim credit for the origin though.

Part 3: Operation Iraqi Freedom vacation - in Europe!Author: Ben Shakman (More Trip Reviews by Ben Shakman)
Date of Trip: March 2006
March 30th (Day 13)
We had a pleasant breakfast in the hotel's restaurant and then I went to pay the hotel bill while Charleen took the kids to the bathroom before we got back into the car. I looked carefully at the bill and learned that they had tacked on an extra 40PLN per child that I had not agreed to the night before. It took a few minutes to convince the woman behind the reception desk that I would not be paying something that I had not agreed to when we checked in and finally the bill was correct. Our night at the Gramada wound up costing us about $130, not too bad considering the size of the "apartment" (more like a suite to US travelers) and the quality of the breakfast.
We left the hotel and made the short drive to
We took a bus down to the old town area and then set out on foot. Charleen was pretty hungry at that point and asked if we could find somewhere for lunch. We walked right past the royal palace and then headed down a small street towards the old town center.
We happened across a street performer who was dressed from head to toe in black muslin and looked like the grim reaper with the staff that he was holding. There was a cup for coins in front of him and he would stand perfectly still until someone dropped a coin into the cup. At that point, he would begin shaking some bells that he had hidden in one of his sleeves and raise and lower the staff. It was creepy, yet entertaining all at once and the kids loved it! We watched the show for a while and then headed further down the street to find a place for lunch.
We opted for a place called Pierogarnia -- a pierogi restaurant. The restaurant was very quaint and only had about a half-dozen tables all together. The wait staff was very pleasant and spoke enough English that we did not have to try to struggle through the menu or our meal. The kitchen was located at the rear of the restaurant and there was a lady sitting on a stool making the pierogis by hand -- definitely a good sign as far as our search for authentic Polish food.
Charleen and I both had a sampler plate that included several different varieties. We ordered a "sweet" plate for the kids that featured plum, sweet cheese, and apple pierogi. Allison took a liking to the apple and Lizzy seemed to like the cheese. Neither of them liked the plum, but Lizzy took a huge liking to the meat-filled variety and actually wound up eating more of them all over
We continued down the street towards the old town square. I was astonished at how empty the square was when we finally got there. It was a rainy day, so there were very few tourists and only a couple of "art" dealers. Even more surprising, the sole gypsy family (it is terrible to say, but I viewed them as potential pick-pockets) was sitting quietly on a bench and only one of them made a half-hearted attempt to beg money from us.
We looked around the old town square for a while and the kids chased every pigeon they could see before walking on towards the new town square. Getting there involved walking by an old castle and down some narrow streets. The weather was much colder than Charleen was accustomed to (March in
We walked around the new town square and the associated cathedral for a while and then headed back towards the royal palace. The weather had improved gradually over the course of the afternoon and that left us thinking that it was considerably earlier than it actually was. As a result, we missed our opportunity for a tour. We noted their opening time and decided that we would try to make things work out such that we would be able to visit it in the morning.
We were walking towards the bus when we spotted something interesting -- a huge portrait of Pope John Paul II being prepared for mounting on the front of a museum. Based on how they were preparing things it looked to Charleen and me as if it was a Polish joke in the making. We hung around and watched for awhile, but nothing catastrophic happened so we left.
We caught another bus back to the hotel -- the cost for all four of us to ride was about $2 -- and freshened up a bit before dinner. We had driven past a sushi restaurant on the way and that was what Charleen decided she wanted to have for dinner. She was feeling a bit of a cold coming on so I put her in a taxi to go to the local Apteka (pharmacy) while the kids and I walked down the street to the Shokuyoko Japanese restaurant.
We walked in to a very nice, albeit warm, restaurant that looked like a lot of the higher-end sushi restaurants do in the states. The most notable difference was that almost the entire dining room was divided up into individual dining areas by the placement of the paper screens. This created a very cozy atmosphere and probably kept the noise level down as well.
Charleen finally arrived and we ordered a variety of sushi and other dishes. Everything was fantastic! Our sushi that night definitely ranked right up there with some of the best I've had anywhere (it did not hurt that the kids were well behaved either). After dinner, we walked back to the hotel and Charleen took Lizzy up to the room to get ready for bed while I took Allison into the desert bar for a piece of desert -- a reward for eating so well and even trying something new -- wasabi (Japanese horseradish paste) on her sushi. She ordered a chocolate cake that came wrapped in a wafer-thin layer of chocolate and dusted with some chocolate powered. I let her eat her fill and only managed a couple of bites myself. It was nice to be able to spend some one-on-one time with her during our vacation and I think that it made up for the fact that I had spent several hours building a snowman with Lizzy when we were in Garmisch. Lizzy definitely enjoyed her time alone with Charleen, too. She decided that she wanted to be the first one ready for bed, and also be a helper to get things ready for the morning. She went through the shower and got her pajamas on, then helped lay out the next day's clothes before Allison and I came back and we all went to bed.
March 31st (Day 14)
We went to breakfast in the hotel and discovered a feast! They had everything typical of a Polish breakfast (sausages, cheeses, vegetables, etc.) along with some good stuff typical of an American breakfast (cereals, scrambled eggs, toast, etc.) such that everyone wound up happy with their meal -- a rarity in our family.
After breakfast we took a cab over to the old town area so that we could tour the royal palace. There were just so many spectacular things to see inside that it seemed that the few hours we spent was only a sample. As a hobbyist woodworker, I have a great appreciation for the amount of work that goes into creating spectacular woodwork. I was especially astonished at the intricacy of the floors. Each room was graced with a different style floor, each of them amazingly intricate, and displayed phenomenal craftsmanship. There was even one room that had a floor that resembled something that Escher might have created because the use of contrasting species created a 3-dimensional appearance. As wonderful as the floors were, the furniture blew it away in terms of sheer beauty and detail. The veneer work and carving was some of the best that I have ever seen. One thing that Charleen found interesting about the castle was that there were custodians stationed in every room. They ensured that no one damaged the furnishings, but also pointed the way through the castle such that you didn't miss anything.

What Are the Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis?
The space within the spinal canal may narrow without producing any symptoms. However, if narrowing places pressure on the spinal cord, cauda equina, or nerve roots, there may be a slow onset and progression of symptoms. The neck or back may or may not hurt. More often, people experience numbness, weakness, cramping, or general pain in the arms or legs. If the narrowed space within the spine is pushing on a nerve root, people may feel pain radiating down the leg (sciatica). Sitting or flexing the lower back should relieve symptoms. (The flexed position "opens up" the spinal column, enlarging the spaces between vertebrae at the back of the spine.) Flexing exercises are often advised, along with stretching and strengthening exercises.
People with more severe stenosis may have problems with bowel and bladder function and foot disorders. For example, cauda equina syndrome is a severe, and very rare, form of spinal stenosis. It occurs because of compression of the cauda equina, and symptoms may include loss of control of the bowel, bladder, or sexual function and/or pain, weakness, or loss of feeling in one or both legs. Cauda equina syndrome is a serious condition requiring urgent medical attention.
In many cases, the conditions causing spinal stenosis cannot be permanently altered by nonsurgical treatment, even though these measures may relieve pain for a period of time. To determine how much nonsurgical treatment will help, a doctor may recommend such treatment first. However, surgery might be considered immediately if a patient has numbness or weakness that interferes with walking, impaired bowel or bladder function, or other neurological involvement. The effectiveness of nonsurgical treatments, the extent of the patient's pain, and the patient's preferences may all factor into whether or not to have surgery.

Melbourne Star sneak peek
3AW reporter Lauren Hilbert took a ride on the big wheel on one its first rotations at a special sneak peek event on Sunday.
Scarlet Lee wanted to wake up with the birds to be on the first "flight" of the Melbourne Star.
"We were told it was going to be packed and we wanted to be the first in line," Scarlet said.
The eight-year-old need not have worried. Forty minutes before the first scheduled flight for paying customers she and her mum, Tanya Lee were first in line.
"Mum was the first one to be all crazy about it and it is so huge," Scarlet said, explaining her own enthusiasm.
Ms Lee, a schoolteacher from Hillside, has pined for a spin on the observation wheel since she missed a flight on the Melbourne wheel when it closed suddenly in 2009 due to faults in the original design. Last year, they went on the London Eye and hope to have a spin on the Singapore Flyer in September next year.
"It's awesome. I want to go on it again and again and again," Scarlet said.
Overall Ms Lee loved the flight, but said there were a few teething problems, including that they did not receive a map that went with the audio in the pod and there is no online bookings service.
The Melbourne Star is 120 metres tall with 3.5 kilometres of LED lighting, which its operator, the Melbourne Star Management Group, claims has 15 million light combinations.
The group's chief executive, Chris Kelly said the star's lighting made the project more complex than the Singapore or London wheels. He thanked Melburnians for their patience while the new wheel was built.
Some passengers were along for their second "opening" of the wheel. John Bishop, of Mooroolbark, Kath Kennedy and Brianna Templar, 13, of Greenvale were at the original opening of the Melbourne Wheel in December 2008.
Mr Bishop said the days were different – 2008 a glorious sunny day and 2013 a gloomy summer's day. Mr Bishop captured the sunset on that first opening but this time was happy to be able to get a clear video shot through the base of the glass cabins where no rain drops were falling.
Mandy Horsburgh, of Greensborough, took her extended family on the star, including her brother's family and her parents. It cost $166 for the "surprise" flight. Family tickets are $56-$82 for the half-hour ride.
"Of course, it would have been better if it wasn't raining, but it was still fantastic," Ms Horsburgh said.
Peter Hiscock, of Harbour Town, believes he may be the first local to ride the star. He could see his courtyard from the pod. He said some neighbours had complained about the light show at night but he was enjoying it.
"I've watched it being built," Mr Hiscock said.
"I've been living here for four years watching it go up. It will be better now in Harbour Town. It ought to add some life to Harbour Town which is dying a bit at the moment."
Bill McDermott, owner and manager of the Healthy Habits Harbour Town franchise, was relieved to see the star finally open for business.
"I came to work this morning and I didn't know what to think – whether to sigh with relief or apprehension," Mr McDermott said.
"All the stores have heard about is 'next year, next year, next year' and now we are here," he said.
Mr McDermott said he had become more confident of the star's operation since the Japanese owner, Sanoyas Rides Australia, took over.
The star's cabins take up to 20 passengers and will have the option of on-board catering for small parties.
The Melbourne Star Observation Wheel is open from 10am to 10pm.

Between 10% and 40% of preschoolers have significant sleep problems, making them more likely to struggle in school, struggle with emotions and behavior and develop obesity. Dr. Michelle Garrison is investigating how a new approach can help parents fix these problems and improve their children's health – and their family's quality of life.
"Some of the parents I talk to are so exhausted that they regularly fall asleep while driving," Garrison says. "It shows you how desperate things can get when your child isn't sleeping."
Garrison is leading a pilot study that is helping the families of 42 children with sleep problems develop better sleep habits and bedtime routines. The study starts with having each child spend a week wearing an ActiGraph – a watch-like device that measures their movement and sleep. At the same time, parents keep a diary of how the child is sleeping. This helps the researchers pinpoint a child's problems.
"We see everything from children who fight going to bed and take two hours to fall asleep, to kids who wake up several times a night," says Garrison, a principal investigator in the Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development.
After Garrison's team finishes its assessment, a case manager visits the family and teaches them about how healthier habits, such as avoiding TV and other media before bed, can make it easier for kids to fall asleep and get better rest. The case manager also helps the family develop new sleep routines that are tailored to their needs. For instance, parents whose kids can't sit still at bedtime are taught to guide them through an animal yoga routine that helps the child calm down. Other families are taught to use sensory cues, such as massaging their child with scented lotion, that signal it's time to relax.
"A lot of parents get stuck on the idea that there's one ideal routine of brushing your child's teeth, reading a book and tucking them in," Garrison says, "but that doesn't always work for every child."
After families follow the new routine for three months, they repeat the diary and actigraphy to help Garrison's team see if a child's sleep has gotten better. If the interventions are effective, Garrison plans to seek funding for a randomized trial that tests them on 400 to 500 families.
Her goal is for that larger study to be the backbone of a project that investigates how the interventions affect sleep problems – and the health and behavior issues that go along with them – long-term.
"I'd love to follow those kids until they're about 10 years old, so we could get a complete picture of how sleep impacts things like their ability to learn in school, and their social and emotional skills," Garrison says.
She also envisions developing an online tool that makes it easy for parents everywhere to design better bedtime routines and develop healthier sleep habits as a family. It's all part of her mission of improving families' lives by improving how they sleep.
"If you improve a child's sleep, you have a direct impact on so many other health problems, and the families are really grateful because they see the benefit immediately," Garrison says. "That makes it a really rewarding field to work in."

A preliminary crash incident report from a fatal plane crash at the Starke County Airport in Knox on July 29 has been released by the National Transportation Safety Board.
A plane flown by James A. W. Evans III of Stafford, Va. was the fourth in a series of five planes that were flying from Fredericksburg, Va. to the Experimental Aircraft Association Airventure fly-in in Wisconsin. A stop at the Starke County Airport was planned for refuel, but was not part of an official flight plan or log. The pilots were going to stay the night near Knox and continue their journey the following day.
The first three pilots landed safely and had seen Evans' plane fly over the airport on a left crosswind portion of the landing pattern, but did not view the remainder of his descent. The fifth pilot and passenger told the NTSB that they saw Evans' airplane enter the traffic pattern at the Starke County Airport and heard a rather strange transmission by Evans. The fifth pilot stated that the transmission from Evans seemed "out of the ordinary" and that he was fumbling for words. It was noted in the report that Evans was usually very precise in his radio transmissions.
None of the pilots had actually witnessed the accident.
Data retrieved indicated that Evans' plane made a left turn to the south end of the runway and began descending. When the airplane was about .36 nautical miles southwest of the approach end of the runway, it began a descending left turn back toward the runway. The report indicated that the left turn continued until the end of the recorded data.
The NTSB noted at the wreckage site that the plane was found upright and the path through the corn and the crushing of the forward fuselage and wind indicated that the airplane impacted the ground in a near wings level attitude with the nose pitched downward about 60 degrees. The wings remained attached, but the engine and firewall were partially separated from the remainder of the fuselage.
A preliminary autopsy report released by Starke County Coroner Kris Rannells stated that James A. W. Evans III suffered massive blunt-force trauma and internal injuries. A final autopsy report will be released when more tests are conducted.
A final report from the NTSB has yet to be filed.

Outlier detection and robust covariance estimation using mathematical programming
Nguyen, Tri-Dzung and Welsch, Roy E. (2010) Outlier detection and robust covariance estimation using mathematical programming Advances in Data Analysis and Classification, Special Issue on Robust Methods for Classification and Data Analysis, 4, (4), pp. 301-334. (doi:10.1007/s11634-010-0070-7).
Full text not available from this repository.
The outlier detection problem and the robust covariance estimation problem are often interchangeable. Without outliers, the classical method of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) can be used to estimate parameters of a known distribution from observational data. When outliers are present, they dominate the log likelihood function causing the MLE estimators to be pulled toward them. Many robust statistical methods have been developed to detect outliers and to produce estimators that are robust against deviation from model assumptions. However, the existing methods suffer either from computational complexity when problem size increases or from giving up desirable properties, such as affine equivariance. An alternative approach is to design a special mathematical programming model to find the optimal weights for all the observations, such that at the optimal solution, outliers are given smaller weights and can be detected. This method produces a covariance estimator that has the following properties: First, it is affine equivariant. Second, it is computationally efficient even for large problem sizes. Third, it easy to incorporate prior beliefs into the estimator by using semi-definite programming. The accuracy of this method is tested for different contamination models, including recently proposed ones. The method is not only faster than the Fast-MCD method for high dimensional data but also has reasonable accuracy for the tested cases.

I'm sorry if this comment is slightly out of place, but I couldn't find another place to put it. Peoples Choice: What the hell?? How is Harry Potter not nominated for ANYTHING???? Unless you're waiting to put it up next year, since it's still in theaters, this makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. Unless I find out that that's your reasoning, I'll definitely be skipping the show..I have no interest in something too stupid to include Harry Potter.

Carroll County Judge-Executive Harold "Shorty" Tomlinson is encouraging local individuals and businesses who are not currently displaying American flags to do so during the remainder of July. The displays would honor area veterans who will be attending dedication ceremonies for the new Veterans Administration clinic in Carrollton next week. A dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare center will be 1 p.m. Wednesday, July 22.
The chickens have come home to roost, so to speak, as one family is forced to get rid of show pigeons to satisfy a complaint from an un-named neighbor.
The Department of Highways District 5 office has scheduled dates for the temporary closing of Milton-Madison Bridge.
Barring unforeseen delays or inclement weather, the bridge will be closed from 7 p.m. Saturday, July 25, through 5 a.m. Monday, July 27, and again from 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1, through 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 3. A third weekend may be scheduled, if needed.

A new law passed this year by the General Assembly will force anyone convicted on theft charges to surrender his or her drivers license until they pay full restitution to their victims.
Creation of House Bill 369, which became effective June 25, was a collaborative effort between the state Administrative Office of the Courts, judges, circuit court clerks, the state Division of Driver Licensing and the Kentucky State Police, according to an AOC news release.
Convincing Trimble County young people not to use alcohol or abuse drugs may be an uphill battle, but Denise Hall is hoping it can be won – with reinforcements from the community.
After more than a month going door to door in Milton and Madison, a team from Wilbur Smith Associates soon will complete one phase of the study into replacing the bridge that connects the two cities.
NEW CASTLE, Ky. –Every Sunday, several carloads of visitors venture up the gravel drive leading to the Smith-Berry Winery tasting room.
They come hoping to sample some of the New Castle winery's products, but state law forces owner Chuck Smith to turn them – and the money they have to spend – away. Many leave frustrated, Smith said. "They're mad, too; they've driven in off the interstate" specifically to visit the winery.
A local and young entrepreneur proved so impressive that the national publication Turf Magazine published a feature story on him last month.
The multi-page magazine spread tells how DJ Carroll, a 2007 graduate of Carroll County High School, began his lawn care service in high school while playing football for the Panthers.
Since graduation, he has since been all business about growing his business.
Regatta revelers on the Milton, Ky., side of the Ohio River were well-behaved, according to Trimble County Sheriff Tim Coons.
Coons said Monday that there were DUI arrests made by his staff and Kentucky State Police on State Hwy. 36 and U.S. 421 South, but there were no serious incidents among those camping on the riverbank.
Coons credits the quiet weekend to a smaller crowd than usual on the Milton side, and to the rainy, chilly weather on Saturday, July 4.

Hunt around the lower end of Foveaux Street for an unlabelled doorway opening to walls lined with wooden shutters. Up the wide stairs, twinkling glass shades emit a dim golden glow. Drop your anchor pronto. This is Button, the latest bar from Stitch and Pocket creators Christophe Lehoux and Karl Schlothauer. And it looks like the hull of a pirate ship crossed with a 19th-century tavern.
A NINE-METRE WOODEN BAR is stacked with more than 400 spirit bottles and casks filled with rum. A tall wooden chest carries treasure that could have washed up on an island. There's a long communal table with tall stools, 19th-century rifles on the wall and hanging wooden bowls of fruit over the bar. Chevron woodwork creates the optical illusion of an undulating ceiling. Are we below deck in calm seas? Or journeying into the winter night in a cleverly transformed former office space? Moored in one of four black leather booths, we're in an old-wood world with curvy etched glass shades and leaded windows as privacy screens.
LOUD '70S ROCK'N'ROLL, 1930s blues and honky-tonk tunes fill the air. Salted pistachio nuts in metal vessels come free, along with glasses of water. Both are delivered just after we arrive. Oh, the sweet luxury of table service. A waitress - who looks after every customer with great speed - takes orders, starts a tab, delivers drinks and tops up water glasses throughout the night.
BUTTON HAS NO FOOD MENU save the pistachios. Nearby takeaway joints will deliver and menus are available at the bar. We press on with the drinks menu. Three pages of cocktails, with Salty Dog-themed names such as Pleasure Vessel, Smoking Gun, Semi Precious, Salty Candy and Pirate Jet overshadow the wine choices. The latter aren't shabby - great choices come from Australia, New Zealand, Spain and Chile.
FIRST UP IS THE HUCKLEBUCK (Ardbeg Ulgeadail whisky, Bacardi rum, Punt e Mes vermouth, $18). A wildly intoxicating bronze brew, it's served in a coupe crystal glass. It's billed as a ''strong sipping drink''and is pungent with deeply warm, bitter and cherry tones. Next is a Flying Cloud (Belvedere rum, lemon juice, pear juice and cinnamon syrup, $17), a Smoking Gun (Glenmorangie whisky, honey, camomile liqueur, $18) served with a ball of ice and a paddle-pop stick, and a Rum and Pera (house-spiced rum, fresh pear juice, $9.50). The last warms the cockles, the second is smoky and sweet and the first a comforting though spirited concoction that is best consumed unhurried.
WITH NO FOOD TO DISTRACT, a Pirate Jet (Bacardi Superior rum, lemon and pineapple juice, mint, orange bitters, topped with crushed ice and a float of Myers rum, $17.50) ends the night with multilayered tropical flavours. Avast, all small-bar lovers - a swashbucklingly fine night awaits aboard the good ship Button Bar.
Rachel Olding is on leave.
YOU'LL LOVE IT IF you want character without kitsch, and well-honed cocktails.
YOU'LL HATE IT IF you want a bright, alfresco vibe.
GO FOR table service, dark, warm decor style, innovative cocktails in vintage glassware.
IT'LL COST YOU cocktails $9.50-$18, wine by the glass $7-$12, beer $6-$10.

90 degrees – today's forecast high temp at MSP Airport
92 to 95 degrees at MSP Thursday?
17 days at or above 90 so far this year at MSP
17 days of 90+ heat also in 2011 & 2010
13 days annual average number of 90 degree days at MSP(1981-2010 data)
2007 Last time we recorded more 90 degree days at MSP (27 days)
"Dust Bowl" Indianapolis NWS compares current conditions to the 1930s
3.23″ rainfall near Tucson, Arizona on the 4th of July!
"Climate is your playlist, weather is the song that's playing." — AASC
Back to the 90s:
Here we go again.
90 degree heat is slowly oozing back into Minnesota today. Many locations in western and southern Minnesota (including the metro) should touch 90 degrees this afternoon.
Source: Twin Cities NWS
If we hit 90 today at MSP, it wil be day #18 so far this year. That will be the highest number of 90 degree days at MSP in 5 years, since we sweated through 27 days at or above 90 in 2007.
If we don't get there today, it appears we're a lock to make it Thursday when temps could top out between at 92 and 95 degrees at MSP around 4pm.
Source: Iowa State University
Any rain in sight?
We're getting a little dry around the edges again in much of southern Minnesota.
Since June 20th we've banked just .59″ of rainfall at MSP Airport.
Rainfall has been a little more generous (some 1″ to 2″+ totals) in central and northern Minnesota over the past week.
Source: NOAA
High pressure sliding to our east will allow moisture to gradually flow back north through the weekend.
Look for dew points to climb from the comfy 50s today into the 60s by Friday…and possibly the tropical 70s by the weekend.
The additional moisture and a slow moving low easing in from the west will gradually increase our T-Storm chances, especially Friday & Saturday.
After a couple of hot dry weeks, lawns and fileds in southern Minnesota could use a good soaking again.
Evaporation drying out soils:
I've been asked recently how much moisture is sucked from soils on hot dry days like we've seen the past weeks.
The answer is about a third of an inch per day, or as much a 2″ per week.
Take a look at the latest "pan evaporation tables" from the Minnesota Climate Working Group.
Now you can know why your lawn is turning brown in such a hurry. Feel better? I didn't think so.
Better off than Indiana:
I've talked about how deep the drought is getting in the so called "vowel states" in the southern Midwest.
Source: Indy NWS
Indiana is among the hardest hit by drought. In fact, the Indy office of the NWS has pulled out the "Dust Bowl" comparisons to describe the intense drought of '12.
Drought Conditions Resemble the Dust Bowl Days of the 1930s
Conditions in portions of central and southern Indiana resemble the Dust Bowl Days of the 1930s. While some areas in Indiana received one half to nearly three inches of rainfall during the week ending July 5, the historic heat wave has negated nearly all of that rainfall. In portions of central Indiana, immediately along and south of Interstate 70, little or no rainfall has occurred since June 1, allowing drought conditions to worsen.
The average high temperature for the 10-day period ending July 7 at Indianapolis was 101 degrees. The only time this has been exceeded in weather records dating back to 1871 at Indianapolis was from July 6-15, 1936 when the average high temperature was 103 degrees.
The effects of the drought will have a large impact on Indiana agriculture. Late season crops, like corn and soybeans, may see their worst yields since the Great Drought of 1988…possibly even lower. Wildfires continue to be a daily threat which is rarely seen in Indiana in early July. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources issued a warning to boaters about low lake levels at the peak of boating season for some area lakes. Water companies have requested voluntary water reductions and, in some cases, issued mandatory outdoor water restrictions.
Source: Indy NWS
In fact much of Indiana has recorded just 25% of average rainfall since April.
Want some good news? Low pressure will bring a shot of significant rain to Indiana and the Ohio Valley by the weekend.

Corn Belt drought; Desert rains?
Meanwhile Arizona is off to an early and active summer monsoon.
The monsoon began early this year in late June. The average date for the monsoon to kick in around Tucson is July 5th.
Rainfall has been above average at most locations n southern Arizona.
Source: Tucson NWS
Ron Holle is widely considered one of the world's foremost lighting researchers and he sends me this note celebrating the 4th of July deluge in my former home of Oro Valley, just outside Tucson.
It's good to hear from you again. First, I need to say that we had 3.23 inches of rain in a thunderstorm on July 4th. That's almost twice my previous record 24-hour summer rainfall in 11 years at our house in Oro Valley. It was amazing.
There's an old saying in Arizona. "You're as welcome as rain."
Rain is always welcome and precious in the desert.
With the deepening Midwest drought and rapidly drying lawns in Minnesota maybe it's appropriate in these parts too.

CCJ rules Barbados breached Jamaican right to enter country
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, 4 October 2013 (CMC) – The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) Friday ruled that Barbados had breached the right of a Jamaican national when she sought entry into the country in 2011, but stopped short of awarding the one million Barbados dollars in compensation she had sought.
"In all circumstances the Court made a declaration that Barbados had breached Miss Myrie's right to enter Barbados. The court ordered Barbados to compensate Ms Myrie in pecuniary damages in the sum of BDS2, 240 (One Barbados dollar = US$0.50 cents) and non-pecuniary damages to the tune of BDS$75,000.

Joani Gammill, a registered nurse, recovering addict and mother of two has just written an account of her career as a professional "interventionist" after an appearance on the Dr. Phil Show that sparked her own recovery. The Interventionist, published by Hazelden, recounts some of her most dramatic and frustrating interventions, arranged by addicts' families, and how they have furthered her understanding of the disease of addiction.
Rosenberg: You describe many different types of addicts in The Interventionist. Some are poignant and pathetic, others are likeable but some are downright scary like Jeff.
Gammill: Yes, during transport to the rehab facility, I was afraid he would force the car over, strangle me or assault me. I feel I have post traumatic stress from that to this day; I feared for my life.
Rosenberg: Even though Crystal is streetwalking and has infections on her arms, face, ankles and in her eyes, you let her stay in the family home and are devoid of an attitude toward her.
Gammill: One of the biggest successes of my recovery is I immediately like and love the patients and see beyond the person to the disease which I suffer from too. In the case of Crystal, if I had not let her stay in the house, she would have been shooting up in some back alley in the hood or with some john.
Rosenberg: Still, do you think so-called normies, people who are not addicts, understand harm reduction? Or would this look like enabling?
Gammill: An addict isn't going to give up their drugs or alcohol on the spot because of something I do. I don't have that power.
The Rough Path to Rehab
(Image by Hazelden) Permission Details DMCA
Rosenberg: You talk in The Interventionist about the addiction of codependency and needing to take care of or please others. When you wrest someone from the depths of their addiction and bring them to rehab and the doorstep of recovery, do you want them to appreciate it and thank you?
Gammill: Being a nurse for 17 years, including working on neonatal units, I learned how to let go of a patient. You can't get emotionally involved and carry around attachments or you're sunk.
Rosenberg: How else has being an RN helped your interventionist work?
Gammill: Well, of course as a nurse with seven years of drug and alcohol rehab nursing, I know the medical piece of addiction and withdrawal and how to deal with the shakes or DTs that can occur during transport. Just a few weeks ago, I had a patient who I sensed, as a nurse, had something else going on besides alcohol intoxication. It turns out she had bleeding on the brain from a fall, which happens a lot to alcoholics.
Rosenberg: There is no doubt that intervention work takes to heart the 12th step of Alcoholics Anonymous which says," Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics" and demonstrates how working with others keeps recovering people sober themselves. But doesn't publicizing patients' battles with drugs or alcohol glamorize addiction and violate anonymity?
Gammill: Anonymity is a personal choice that has to be respected -- like all medical conditions. But when someone's struggle with addiction becomes reality TV, it shows families how difficult the battle is and can get them treatment they could normally never afford. I personally got three months of rehab treatment from being on the Dr. Phil Show, which I would never have had -- probably worth $90,000. Most health policies, including mine, don't cover drug and alcohol treatment.
Rosenberg: Has your work given you a clearer picture of why some people "get" recovery and others don't?
Gammill: Well, I used to try to predict...but really you could ask why someone recovers from any disease, like cancer. I think sometimes having a lot of money can be a barrier to recovery because having to work somehow aids recovery. But mostly the keys are nothing we haven't heard before: spiritual contact with a higher power, working with a sponsor and working the steps.

A few weeks back, DFW.com contributor David Martindale wrote about Sean Panikkar, the Fort Worth Opera tenor who's a contestant on America's Got Talent this season as part of a singing trio called Forte.
Forte has made it to the semifinal round of AGT, and Fort Worth Opera is throwing a watching party in support. The free party will be at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27, at the Movie Tavern at West 7th, 2872 Crockett St. in Fort Worth. Dinner and drinks will be available (that part isn't free).
Panikkar performed as Rodolfo in the 2013 Fort Worth Opera Festival production of La Boheme and will play the leading role of Nadir in The Pearl Fishers at the 2014 festival. You can read his full bio at www.seanpanikkar.com.
Although the party will be free, seating is limited, and registration is required to attend. Visit http://www.fwopera.org/schedule/calendarfull.asp or call 877-396-7372 to RSVP.
Panikkar is not the only semifinalist with Fort Worth connections. Timber Brown, "a male pole dancer" who does acrobatic feats using two poles, lives in Las Vegas but is originally from Fort Worth.
America's Got Talent airs at 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays on KXAS/Channel 5. Here's a clip featuring Forte's first performance on the show -- and very first performance together, period. Singing starts around the 2:45 mark.
