But Kansas City, blessed with a pair of six round picks, didn't take any chances on the massive tackle prospect. In drafting the McGill University standout, the Chiefs new after scouting him he was something special.
The third year medical school resident was the best football player in Canada last season. In fact, had an NFL team not drafted him, he quite likely would have been the number one overall pick in the CFL draft a week later.
For the Chiefs, they have a young, smart and highly talented late round gem that could some day mold into a starting left or right tackle. He has the kind of size, agility and attitude that Head Coach, Andy Reid, loves in his offensive lineman.
Still he's only played a few years at the college level and the jump to the NFL won't be easy for the Canadian.
"I think I'm starting to get a good grasp on all the material. For sure it's quite different than what I'm used to. But I'm smart enough, I think I'm going to be able to learn that," he said after his second day of mini camp with the Chiefs.
In the NFL should he play tackle, he's going to face some of the games best edge rushers. In Canada, they were few and far between in regards to the talent pool Duverney-Tardiff will play against at this level. He already knows he needs to get stronger but adjusting to the speed of the game will clearly define how quickly he gets on the field.
Yet in two days of practices in Kansas City his offensive coaches have rotated him at tackle and guard. In fact, with question marks at Guard this year for the Chiefs in abundance, it's possible he could move positions at the NFL level before training camp.
He told reporters he was more comfortable playing left tackle or left guard. However, with Eric Fisher, taking over the reins at left tackle, there might be a chance Duverney-Tardiff could fight veteran Jeff Allen for his spot or become a candidate for right guard.
But can he move that quickly up the depth chart? That may depend on how fast he masters his skill set.
"I think I'm a bit behind in term of technique, but I think I'm athletic and I go after it when I play. Those two aspects of the game are harder to coach and the technique aspect is maybe a bit easier," he stated.
There is no question that Duverney-Tardiff has a fierce demeanor on the field. Off the field, he's already stated his dreams of becoming a doctor are on permanent hold while he chases his NFL dream.
Should he progress to the level the Chiefs believe he can someday then perhaps earning his medical degree might have to wait another decade or more.

Will this Canadian standout make a quick transition to the NFL?

Texas Tech University HSC, Odessa, TX
SESSION TITLE: Sepsis and Shock Posters
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Poster
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: Only limited data were reported to date on the contemporary features of pregnancy-associated severe sepsis (PASS), focusing mostly on delivery hospitalizations. We performed a trended population-based investigation of the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and resource utilization of PASS in Texas over the past decade.
METHODS: We used the Texas Inpatient Public Use Data File to identify pregnancy-associated hospitalizations for the years 2001-2010. ICD-9CM codes for infection plus organ failure (OF) were then used to identify PASS hospitalizations. The Texas Center for Health Statistics reports of live births, abortions and fetal deaths, and previously reported population-based, age-specific linkage data on miscarriage were used to estimate the annual total number of pregnancies (TEP). Incidence of PASS, clinical characteristics, resource utilization and outcomes were examined. Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney and Chi-Square tests were used.
RESULTS: There were 5,347,084 TEP and 1007 PASS hospitalizations during study period. Delivery hospitalizations accounted for 38% of all PASS hospitalizations. The key trends between 2001-2002 and 2009-2010 within PASS hospitalizations were: age-adjusted incidence per 100,000 TEP 11 vs. 27 (p=0.009); chronic comorbidities 28% vs. 33% (NS); development of ≥3 OF 9% vs. 35% (p<0.0001); admission to ICU 78% vs. 90% (p=0.002), inflation-adjusted median hospital charges (2010 dollars) $52,830 vs. $88,659 (p=0.0001), hospital mortality 9.7% vs. 12% (NS), PASS contribution to all pregnancy-associated inpatient deaths 11.5% vs. 28.1% (p=0.004). The genital and urinary systems were the most common sites of infection. Mean (SD) hospital LOS was 12.4 (14.6) days.
CONCLUSIONS: The present cohort of PASS is the largest described to date. The incidence, severity, and costs of PASS rose significantly over the past decade. While case fatality is lower than that for severe sepsis in the general population, PASS contributes increasingly to maternal hospital death. Focus on delivery hospitalizations underestimates the full burden of PASS. The sources of the observed trends require further study.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The relative infrequency of PASS, coupled with its high severity and resource-intense needs remain a clinical challenge for timely diagnosis and effective intervention.

Changing Rooms famously uses staple guns, MDF and Handy Andy to transform suburban domesticity into, if Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen has a say, something more closely resembling a bordello. Its ITV rival, Better Homes, features Carol Vordermann overseeing sledgehammers and wrecking balls with the emphasis on serious structural change as two families compete to see who can add most value to their properties.
Cynics might assume the bordello look hinders sales but some estate agents are keen to try unconventional ways of achieving commissions. Paul Curtis of Roy Brooks' Dulwich branch appeared in C5's House Doctor, in which "real estate stylist" Ann Maurice advises vendors how to improve their properties' appearance.
Paul Curtis nominated two properties on his books which had not sold and viewers saw prospective buyers give opinions before and after Ann's makeover. Did the programme attract buyers? "We didn't sell either of them," says Paul who still credits the improvements of one "appalling" house: "Basically it was heaped with underwear and what the cameras couldn't capture was the smell."
After Ann Maurice fearlessly advised the vendor to remove the clutter, including the surfeit of undergarments, the property looked (and must have smelt) fresher - so why didn't Paul sell it? "We had an instant buyer but the vendor got greedy and sold through another agent for pounds 10,000 more."
In contrast, Paul's other property was a beautiful roof-terrace flat which proved surprisingly difficult to sell: "It's a lovely flat but the programme couldn't change the fact that it's on a main road," says Paul who firmly believes that House Doctor, unlike programmes featuring structural changes, reminds vendors of the obvious advantages of ensuring that their assets always look their best: "It's not necessary to renovate but it's common sense to tidy up and it pays."
Daisy Goodwin, House Doctor's editor, agrees - and takes credit for turning around the infamous "house with underpants": "No one in their right mind would have bought that house but we sold it." She believes that most properties "given the Ann treatment" sell quicker and for more: "You've got to look at your house as others see it, which is hard if you've lived there for some time. But you wouldn't turn up for an interview wearing old jeans and trainers and it's the same when selling."
Comparing buying to interviewing, Daisy says that prospective buyers decide within 10 seconds and she calls Ann Maurice's advice brutal but effective: "On TV it's essential not to pull punches." How did recipients respond to brutal criticism? "Some of them were dumbstruck until they saw their homes re-done and then they were convinced."
Daisy believes that Ann's background as an American real-estate agent gives her the edge over her British counterparts: "Agents there have a professional attitude and must pass exams. Most are mature women with a real sense of what people want. Here you get spotty 24-year-olds who just have to be able to drive VW Golfs. They are too worried about losing their commissions but I think sellers would prefer agents who say, `Do this and you can make thirty grand more'."
Daisy admits to a serious distaste for other peoples' belongings and her own three purchases have all been of empty properties. When selling she makes strenuous efforts to erase any trace of human life: "We put fresh flowers out and clear everything away so it's like a hotel. Trouble is, it looks so good that we don't want to move." She previously worked on Homefront, another makeover programme, but admits that she wouldn't undergo one herself: "Not in a million years. You don't have much control and the stress of TV crews and builders in your home is a nightmare. You can get pushed into doing things you don't want to do." She views House Doctor differently: "All these houses weren't selling and we helped them do it."
Someone who agreed to a TV makeover is Terrie Towell who, with husband Brian, allowed the BBC Changing Rooms team to transform their bedroom while they, with stylist Linda Barker, remade their neighbour's son's room. Though it was originally the neighbour's idea to apply, Terrie enjoyed the experience but says it was easy to be "talked into things". While she calls her pre-makeover bedroom "disgusting" she liked the end results: "It was hard work but I loved everything they did."
On 10 February the nation (well a few million viewers) will be privy to the inside of Terrie's lavender bedroom and, yes, she does cry on screen but puts this down to exhaustion rather than elation. All will be revealed then but the prospect of being recognised in the street is not a worry: "I don't mind if they buy me a drink." She believes her TV makeover will not affect future sales in real terms but will definitely improve saleability: "I don't think it will add pounds on but it could be a good selling point."
Paul Curtis agrees that properties which have appeared on TV hold added attraction for buyers and, by drawing attention to an area, help push up local prices. This week's tabloid headline "Changing Rooms wrecked my marriage" told the story of Stewart Bush, whose relationship foundered following his wife's reaction to the "futuristic silver revamp", forcing him to sell his Sidcup house.
Mr Bush won't be interested but if you're not the shy retiring type Daisy Goodwin is seeking vendors with hard-to-sell properties for House Doctor's spring series. Not everyone need apply: "We rejected one which had been on the market for six years. If you're next to the M4 there are some houses that will never sell."

Shinji Kagawa could be set for a January exit from Manchester United having fallen out of favour under new manager David Moyes, with Borussia Dortmund emerging as the frontrunners in an attempt to bring the Japanese playmaker back to the Westfalenstadion.
Reports emerged in Portuguese newspaper A Bola that Kagawa could return as early as January, with Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp having already admitted his desire to bring the 24-year-old back to Germany.
However, the newspaper claims that the move would hinge on Serbian defender Neven Subotic moving in the opposite direction, with Moyes keen to bolster his defensive options in the wake of United's worst start to the Premier League in 24 years.
Klopp has been outspoken in his criticism of the treatment of Kagawa since his £17m move in 2012, although the midfielder suffered an injury-hit first year at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson.
In an interview with Japanese television earlier this year, Kagawa admitted that he hopes his time with Dortmund is not over, and that he would be willing to return to the club should they ever want him.
Moyes has been reluctant to select Kagawa since he took over in the summer, leading to serious questions as to whether his future lies with the Premier League champions or elsewhere. The Japan international spent two seasons with Dortmund, becoming a key figure in the side that won back-to-back Bundesliga titles, before moving to England to link up with the Red Devils.
Subotic meanwhile has become a prominent figure in the Dortmund defence since joining the club in 2008 after moving to Germany from his adopted home of the United States of America. He has been influential in Dortmund's rise in European football, culminating in their Champions League final appearance last season where the narrowly lost out to rivals Bayern Munich.
Having elected to play for his country of birth, Subotic has made 36 appearances for Serbia, giving him considerable experience at the tender age of 24, and he has earned recognition at club level for his consistent partnership with young German centre-back Mats Hummels.
It is said that with Rio Ferdinand approaching the latter stages of his career, Moyes wants to bring in Subotic to compete with another Serbian in Nemanja Vidic, and Northern Irishman Jonny Evans for a starting berth.Reuse content

Chapter nine
Plunging into the water, I felt the cold liquid soak my clothes. I opened my eyes and ignored the stings it gave me. As I swam towards the surface, I spotted something floating on the water. It was a boat. A wooden boat. Perfect. I broke through the still surface of the river, then swam towards the boat eagerly. There was a branch floating in the water next to me, so I grabbed it. With no time to lose, I guided myself along the river, hearing faint barks behind me. Birds screeched at me ; maybe I was in their territory. Only then did I realise that the boat was sinking slightly every inch I moved.
The wood wobbled underneath me when I stood up, balancing myself on the wet floor of the boath. Time had weakened the boat and I cursed my self for not noticing. I looked around frantically for something to grab onto, while my hands still worked on moving the boat. There was a tree around three metres ahead, and a thick tree branch hung over the river. A growl came from below me and a crocodile stared me in the eyes. My trainers soaked in the water greedily. That crocodile was soon joined with half a dozen other ones, all of those ready and waiting for their midday snack. My hands trembled. Suddenly, something tugged the branch I held, sharp teeth sank into that wood, dragging it away from my hands. Then more fangs began to tear up the boat. I couldn't move, couldn't believe what was happening. My mind raced. The beasts still slowly continued to destroy the canoe bit by bit. Even worse, it was still sinking. My legs were soaked. The muscle in my chest pounded in my chest as if trying to jump out of my mouth. Thankfully, distance between the tree and I was getting smaller.
I jumped, and I caught the branch just as the floor of the canoe sank. The hungry animals growled and snapped at my legs, but I was safe now.

Calm and softly spoken, security guard Ah Ming, 53, describes herself as a diligent worker. During her six years as a public estate guard, she says she did her best to help residents and visitors at the Siu Sai Wan Estate mall.
The mother of two said that although her monthly wage of $6,900 was not high, it was enough to supplement her husband's income and helped finance the studies of two children and support her mother-in-law.
But last month her life changed. Eight months after the newly privatised Link real estate investment trust took control of 180 former Housing Authority malls and car parks in the city, Ah Ming, along with 31 colleagues working at the Siu Sai Wan Estate mall, has been left on the unemployment scrapheap by security contractor Sun Cheong.
Jobless and fearing what the future may hold for her and her family, Ah Ming is the human face of a tragedy unfolding across Hong Kong after last year's Link takeover. The battling mother now regrets that she didn't join the protest against Link buying out the public assets of the Housing Authority last year. She reflects wistfully on the highly publicised campaign by public housing tenant Lo Siu-lan, now 69, whose unsuccessful Court of Final Appeal battle last year failed to halt the sale of the government assets.
Ah Ming says that, unlike Ms Lo, she was complacent and didn't see the dangers in the privatisation. Now she views herself as one of Link's victims.
The government's Link privatisation plan was given the green light by the Executive Council in 2003. But with no public consultation, many in Hong Kong were unaware of the breadth and possible impact of the move until Ms Lo's high-profile court battle, which ended with a Court of Final Appeal ruling that the sale could proceed as it didn't breach the Housing Ordinance.
To many, it seems the problems foreseen by Ms Lo began to materialise as soon as the dust from the court case had settled. The properties came under Link's control in November. To boost profits the listed company, which at one point had pledged publicly to freeze rents and sackings, has since laid off hundreds of workers across its estates. It has also ordered some shopkeepers to leave and raised rents, sometimes by as much as 50 per cent.
Some of the moves have outraged labour activists and lawmakers such as legislator 'Longhair' Leung Kwok-hung and unionist Leung Yiu-chung. As the full effects of the sale unfolds, unionists are warning that as many as 4,000 workers will lose their jobs.
Because Link refuses to reveal figures, despite written requests, it is not known how many estates have been affected, how many shops have closed and how many businesses have been hit with rent rises.
Major Link shareholder TCI, a British-based hedge fund, has now joined the board of directors, raising fears of a further of squeezing workers and businesses - through layoffs and rent rises - in the pursuit of higher profits.
Established in the 1970s, housing estate malls and wet markets have been part of community life for decades. The businesses have become a crucial part of the community fabric, supplying necessities such as clothes, food and medicines to residents at affordable prices, and providing jobs for Hong Kong's grass-roots communities.
Tin Shui Wai's Chung Fu mall and market is a typical example of the difficult times heralded by the Link privatisation. In February, when the market vendors' contracts expired, the contractor, Modern Market Management, which had won the tender from Link Management to sub-lease to the vendors, imposed a general 20 to 30 per cent rent rise on shops, with one outlet facing a 50 per cent increase. 'The contractor said Link charged them a 30 per cent rent rise, so they charged us the same increase,' said grocery shop owner Ma Wai-piu, chairman of the Chung Fu Market Shop Keepers' Rights Association.
Mr Ma and another five shop owners who refused to pay the new rents are now being sued by the contractor. They have appeared once in court, and will return to the District Court in September.
Ah Ching, who operates a sewing shop in the Chung Fu market, is one of the many operators worried about her future. 'I earn just $3,000 to $4,000 a month from my sewing shop,' said Ah Ching, in her 40s. 'Now they want to increase the rent by $2,500, which I can't afford. I will have to close my shop. My parents rely on my income for a living. I think I will have to get welfare.'
A number of legislators such as Albert Chan Wai-yip and Lee Cheuk-yan have joined concern groups such as Link Watch to express outrage at what they see as Link's exploitation, and have accused the company of ignoring its social responsibilities.
'The shopkeepers are middle-aged and lowly educated,' Link Watch member Florence Cheung Man-wai said. 'Where can they find jobs? Link has ignored their social responsibility by creating middle-aged unemployment. They squeeze blood money from the poor for the big shareholders.'
Link said the lay-offs were 'in line with the market's best practice'.
'A detailed study of market practices and practical needs of individual centres found that there was substantial over-staffing in the frontline ... The new deployment has ensured sufficient manpower in all frontline management functions,' a Link spokeswoman said in a written reply.
The company also refused to say whether they paid less to the contractors of security guards and cleaners than what the Housing Authority previously paid. 'We do not comment on commercially sensitive issues,' the spokeswoman wrote.
Link also did not reply directly to the accusations that they lacked social responsibility for imposing lay-offs and rent rises, forcing people out of jobs and business. 'The Link aims to deliver to our customers a more dynamic shopping and leisure destination right at the doorstep of their homes, and is happy to partner with operators, regardless of their operation mode and scale, on a mutually beneficial basis,' the spokeswoman wrote.
She said Link had provided comprehensive training programmes for middle-aged guards to take up newly created customer service positions in malls. But she didn't reveal how many guards had been given jobs.
Shopkeepers are finding it hard to put up a decent fight against Link Reit, with some malls and markets having no associations to unite people. Those that have formed groups are struggling in their battle. Mr Ma thought of closing his shop when he was ordered to pay an extra $4,000 rent, taking the monthly total to $38,000 for his tiny market space. 'But if I close my shop and leave, who will help the others fight?' he asked. Some group leaders, including Mr Ma, said they had received threatening anonymous phone calls, warning them not to be vocal in their opposition to Link's rent rises. Police were called in after Mr Ma and other shop owners reported the calls, but many shopkeepers are now afraid to speak out.
While Link's move to bring in large retail chains is viewed as a tactic to increase rental income, the company's claim is that it wants to make the malls more upmarket by attracting trendy shops to draw more shoppers.
Now, chains such as Sasa, Baleno, U-Right, Walker Shop, City Lifestyle and Starbucks have entered public estates. But whether the residents want these shops is questionable. 'Even in peak hours, it's very quiet. There are few shoppers going into the new shops,' said one fashion chain assistant at Tsz Wan Shan Shopping Centre, one of three malls revamped by Link.
Meanwhile, the small shopkeepers live in fear of what have become known as 'death notes' - notices to vacate premises. Sitting in the Kam Pak Hop Kee noodle shop at Siu Sai Wan Estate - another site reeling from the impact of the takeover - Chan Wun-chun looks exhausted and depressed. He's been ordered by Link Management to move by the end of next month.
'The company claimed that I prompted a lot of complaints about hygiene and obstructing the market, but I've never been aware of these complaints. They used this as an excuse to get rid of me,' the 48-year-old said.
The father of three teenagers not only fears for his family, but also for the livelihoods of his nine workers. He's not the only shopkeeper on the estate being told to move. Four shops in the upstairs mall also face closure and have been given temporary tenancies that will expire in November.
Among the four is an electrical shop owned by Choy Man-ngai, 48. Standing in the store he's run for 16 years, Mr Choy worries for himself and his four employees. 'When I told them that Link had only given me a temporary tenancy, they were shocked,' he said. 'They knew that we would have to close. We are all in our 40s and 50s, so where can they find jobs?'
In the months since the takeover, Siu Sai Wan Estate's shopkeepers and workers feel they have exhausted every avenue in their fight. They've been to district councillors, unionists and legislators, and even marched and protested, but with no success.
Now the Siu Sai Wan estate shopkeepers' group's leader, Tsoi Chung-keung, and other owners are joining forces for what feels like the last stand. The group is contacting shopkeepers in other housing estates, urging them to close their shops or refuse to pay rents in protest. 'If we all refuse to pay rent, even their chairman has to step down,' Mr Tsoi said.
Meanwhile, residents at Tsz Wan Shan are angry that the increasing rents are pushing up food prices. Fish that previously sold for $20 per katty now costs more than $25. 'Everything is more expensive. Before, a tea set at a fast food shop was just $10, now it's $12. I live on welfare and now don't go for tea,' said 72-year-old Chow Chung-chee of Tse Ching Estate.
'Link has hurt people so much. It fires workers and increases rents. Link said that it would improve public housing residents' quality of life. But instead it is damaging our lives and adding to our pain.'

X-Pro 1 18mm vs X100?
I'm tempted to slip this question into the interesting thread asking whether to take a X-Pro 1 or a X100 on vacation, but rather than hijack that thread, I'm wondering about comparing the somewhat equivalent lenses -- the X-Pro 1 18mm (27mm equiv) vs the X100 35mm equivalent? I don't think that I've seen them compared in a review ...
From reading the reviews, both cameras produce lovely IQ, but are also, arguably, flawed in terms of operation. But let's not start an argument about the relative merits of the cameras.
Instead, let's talk lenses. Both are f2.0. And the focal lengths are similar ... though I'd generally prefer a 27mm prime to a 35mm. But if I tend to shoot landscape and street and 90% of the time and am happy with either a wide prime or a wide-ish fixed lens, then I'm tempted to just go with the X100 at half the price ...
Though, of course, the XPro-1 is more flexible all around given the interchangeable lenses.
Anyone have experience/thoughts with results on the two lenses -- the 18mm vs the X100?

Something that jumped in my mind quite suddenly while making Blizzards on a really boring Sunday shift at work. Enjoy. Hope to at least get somewhere with this story. Yeesh. Things are a lot different of course. I didn't totally base it off my life experience, but a lot of peoples, into one. Woo.
Sometimes I wish I didn't know things.
That statement will be furthered explained somewhere down the line, but right now I have this urge to first bring you up to pace to the present – where I currently sat, my boss first being very serious, then unleashing a fury that contained a lot of salvia flying from his mouth everytime his rolly lips parted angirly. I was concerned for my life, as I'm sure my fellow coworkers who were all soundlessly settled outside of the closed office door were, as his viciously maddening voice echoed all through the walls of the back of the building where I worked. The unwelcomed, though undiscovered company (yet I knew they were there) made me fluster in embarassment.
I deserved his angery words, every single last stinging syllabel that left his tongue. I had previously sprayed santizier in a costumers eye as I was going about the place, cleaning tables, and picking up garbage. I was clearly not paying any attention as I turned the corner, where my hand so inconveintantly twtiched, causing my fingers to tighten around the spray nozzle, which unleashed a pinkish trail of liquid to land painfully in an older ladies eye. I froze in my tracks as the older lady, shocked at first, soon began to realize what was now burning painfully in her iris; her mouth gwaked open at first and just as a horrified yelp left her throat my mind flew into a frenzy and I started belting off apologies. Or attempted. Nothing either of us were saying was quite coherent, and the man beside her, which I assumed was her husband, soon got up and joined in on the flow of intangible words. Pretty soon I was flustered with attempts to explain myself, and the entire restaurant (I work at McDonalds, by the way) were turned to face us, and a few of my coworkers, alerted, came busling out, throwing up thier arms in protest to the noise. To make the long story short, the lady left in a fit, throwing her unfinished food to the floor, and a few hours later returned with a swollen eye that was painfully red, demanding to talk to my manager. She did, and I could only stand aimlessly by, knowing where this was all headed. It led me to this point exactly, in the office, with my boss, and he yelling at me – it was envitable that I was going to be jobless by the end of the day.
Okay, so, you can kind of get a picture of how I might be stressing, but there's more, of course. There's always is. Why would I be writing about it if there wasn't? There's a few things I like to do, a few precautious steps I like to take when I know my life is about to hit a metaphorical tree trunk, while it's going eighty kilometers an hour, and the first thing I'd do is, pray. Prayers a pretty powerful tool, or so it is for me. I use it often, and it's yeilds amazing results. God's an awesome Provider of many things, but with that being said, Him and I have had a strained relationship lately (totally only on my side though), so He hasn't always come into mind immedaitely when I need some help, some guidance.
She has though. I think about her often. I've thought about her often for the past five years of my life. Since I was fourteen, and I decided to go to the fair with my sister, and ride on that ride that involved my sitting in a seat, buckled in, flying around much to fast for my good, and resulting in my stumbling off the ride after it was done, stricken with green nausea. I bumped into her on my way to a trash can, when I let my miserable stomach empty it's contents. Vomiting. There's no other bodily function that I hate more. She knew me, well, she knew of me, through my sister. So as the concerned, big hearted person she is, she came to my side, awkward and heistant at first, but her face softened as I striaghted up, wiping my mouth with my sleeve. I alway got really upset and embarassed whenever I vomited. Even when no one was around. I just cried whenever I was done the disgusting deed. So, now as I turned to see her pallid face, the tears rushing hotly to my eyes, I paniced. Now, I was going to cry in front of a lady I've never been properly introduced to before. Oh boy, I could tell this was going to be an awesome first impression.
Her smile was awkward and crooked at first, but her eyes gave her true intentions away and I could tell that she was actually, mostly, concerned for my physical health. She really didn't know how to reply to my condition, so I just waved her off and mumbled, "I'm fine." I tried to give her a convincing smile, but it wasn't working, so I just took off in a random direction, hoping to hit a bathroom sometime soon or something. I had kept walking, forgetting slowly about the possibly worse first impression I had ever gone through, and then I hit the bathrooms, and I cleaned myself up. I was glum, as I walked out, hands in my pockets, looking for my older sister. I had found her, told her some lame excuse and then left to go home. I won't tell you where I live, casue it's really not vital to the story, and I also want to leave that up to your imagination. I knew where I was going.
There are people I love, then there are people that I love. She was one of those aforemented people. I bumped into her again, this time not struck with nauseation. I was in full health, and she seemed to have noticed that when we first spoke. I smiled, embarassed that she had remembered, but she laughed it off, and we moved into more perfered conversation.
She had a thing for them, and as she spoke, she kind of became a bit more clear in my eyes. When we had first met, I couldn't tell who she was, what she liked, or anything of the sorts (I think maybe that could do to the fact that I had vomit churning in my stomach, beating me to get out, and that tends to be a little distracting). The more she spoke, it was like wind pushing fog away, clearing the horizon, and I could see her much better, not that I needed glasses, but people seem to unravel when they speak, or most of the time just stand there, being themselves, and I have time to watch them (without them watching me back of course. That's just awkward, though it's awkward for me to watch them period, so, whatever.)
She spoke of these unicorns, which were fairy tale materail, and as she continued to talk, she moved into more fairy tale things, such as fairies, centurs, and green mystical lands such as Ireland that always fascinated her. I noticed then, to, that she seemed to have belonged in a fairytale. Pallid complexion much like an elf, with dark contrasting hair, and blue bright, wide eyes that reminded me of a water nymph, strangely enough. She was small, and slender. Quite the opposite of me. I was.. well, I was not to small and slender. Physically opposing, but soon enough she attracted me, and then the rest was history, as they say.
So, with all that out of the way, my mind dirfted back to the present, where my boss's voice came in slowly at first, and then deafeningly booming, and my heart jumped, skipping a few beats. I wanted to go back to thinking about her, but then my heartstrings constricted painfully, reminding me of why I shouldn't have brought her up in the first place. We had broken up, and like the sore loser I was, I wasn't getting over her or it anytime soon. Yes, sadly, I am one of those people that hold on to your first love and never let them go, until someone aproaches you, fed up, and delievers a stinging slap across the face.
"Now, hang up your uniform, and don't bother coming back tomorrow, or the next." he finished off harshly, swinging the office door open, startling the stilled coworkers, who all hopped back into working mode, taking off to the front as fast as flies.
I got up, not really feeling anything, and removed my nametag, tossed it to the table, and made my way to the back door. I pulled off the tacky red polo shirt, with the golden arched logo on it, and tossed it in a box. Pulled on a green hoody and placed my sling bag over my slumped shoulders. I pushed open the door, the buzzing going off, indicating the back door was opened, and I left, the buzzing ending abruptly. Pulled my mp3 player out, shoved the earphones into the only place where earphones should go, and started on my trek home.

|Why tomcat 6.0.18 looks for MySQL JDBC driver to be placed in CATALINA_HOME/lib folder?
|Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:06:34 GMT
Hi, On reading Tomcat help doc http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html, it recommends to place the MySQL JDBC driver in both places (CATALINA_HOME/lib and WEB-INF/lib folder of the app). If I haven't placed in CATALINA_HOME/lib folder, my app is failing with driver not found error. I'm puzzled with.. 1. Why Tomcat look for the JDBC jar to be in CATALINA_HOME/lib folder? 2. If I copied more than one JDBC jars (with different version) in CATALINA_HOME/lib folder for couple of my applications, how each of them looks for the respective versions of JDBC driver?

Damage assessment
Dastardly stuff
Besides being unsightly, if dust is not removed from objects and surfaces it can sometimes cause a chemical reaction and cement to surfaces.
It can also absorb moisture and pollutants and serve as food for pests, all of which can damage objects in the long run.
Identifying the source
It's you!
It's difficult to avoid, but most dust comes from visitors as they move through the palace. The greatest amount is shed from people when they move quickly, bend over and take twists and turns.
Fighting dust
The dirty war
Even the most careful cleaning can cause slight damage to objects. So our approach is to try to reduce the amount of dust falling on objects as much as possible.
We hold boisterous, dust-raising events outdoors. Indoor activities are held in rooms where objects are displayed high up or where objects are less susceptible to dust damage, like polished wood.
And we try to keep just enough distance between visitors and dust-sensitive objects to avoid them being affected. Such preventive measures can halve conservators' dusting hours and extend the life of the objects.
Did you know?
Palace conservators spend just short of 10,000 hours a year dusting across all the historic royal palaces.
Studying the impact of dust
Believe it or not, we actually study dust. And it's not that boring either.
Read about our conservation science research programme.
Other agents of decay
It's a constant battle against the causes of deterioration. Read about other agents of decay.
- Light: natural, artificial - it's everywhere!
- Vibration: good vibrations?
- Weather: under wraps for winter
- Pollution: sniffing out pollution
Help us bust dust!
Palace upkeep is expensive work and as an independent charity we receive no funding from the Government or the Crown.
We depend on our visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors to help us.
Find out how you can support us or become a volunteer.

Venezuelan Navy intervention with US Sailboat provokes the loss of our vessel
i'm glad you and your family are safe,dealing with foreign officials/citizens can be unpredictable,lets face it most of the world aren't a big fan of the u.s.,theres many innocent americans langishing in foreign jails with no hope of even a trial,i'll be interested in hearing the whole story,what ever the details i wouldn't expect any justice or even an official apoligy
It is eye-opening to see how fast a situation can change from setting sail to heading home. Sorry to hear about this, but glad you both will be able to tell us about it.
Venezuelan Navy intervention with US Sailboat provoke the loss of our vessel II
I am very sorry for your loss.
When you can give us some more details please:
"demanded that they return to El Grand Roque Island, 15 miles east of the location they had been hailed, under VZ Coast Guard escort.
The series of events that followed resulted in their sailing vessel running aground; .... The escorting VZ Patrol Boat, which was directing the sailing vessel course of travel ..."
What was that serie of incidents? and what you mean by "directing the sailing vessel" other than telling you to return to El Grand Roque Island and escort you?
Venezuela - Good place to avoid?
"Incidents of piracy off the coast of Venezuela remain a concern, and foreigners have been targeted. Attacks on foreign tourists in Venezuelan coastal waters and around Margarita Island have increased over the last several years. Recent attacks have been especially violent, including the murder of a U.S. citizen on his boat in November 2008, and the killing of a French yachter in September 2008. Previous violent attacks include the
severe beating of a U.S. citizen in 2002, the fatal shooting of an Italian citizen in January 2004, and a machete attack on a U.S. citizen in 2005. U.S. citizen yachters should note that anchoring off shore is not considered safe. Marinas, including those in Puerto la Cruz and Margarita Island (Porlamar), provide only minimal security, and U.S. citizens should exercise a heightened level of caution in Venezuelan waters. Please consult the U.S. Coast Guard website for additional information on sailing in Venezuela.
In addition to security concerns, yachters should be aware of registration and other required permits in order to anchor in Venezuelan marinas. U.S. citizens docking in Venezuela are strongly encouraged to check with local authorities regarding the proper documentation for their vessels and themselves.
Furthermore, rules governing the sale of fuel to foreign sailors in Venezuela vary by state. U.S. citizen yachters should inquire about specific state procedures prior to attempting to purchase fuel in any given location."
This adds to the recent reports on the VHF in Bonaire of Venezuelan CG interference in the Aves.
A friend had to pay a $400 bribe on a Brit boat in Los Roches 3 months ago.
a post of a link to something that tells you to wait for later to learn anything
Would you get in a taxi that was being driven by Hugo Chavez?
Then why on earth would you go to Venezuela, surely there are other ways to play with madmen and their empires.
Moderators warning ... this thread lurches perilously close to being counted as political. If it descends further into discussion of the rights and wrongs, the lefts and rights and the sanity or otherwise of Hugo Chavez it will end up being punted to Off Topic.
That said I too wonder why any American, given the discord twixt successive US administrations and the Chavez regime, would choose to go to Venezuela.

Top 5 Unique Valentine's Day Gifts
by Cody Hudson
Published January 10, 2014 | Updated January 15, 2016
Chocolates and flowers are Valentine's Day standbys, but maybe you're looking for something a little less traditional this year. Straying from standard gifts will show that you're thoughtful, and that you put time and effort into the gift. If you've been together for a while, show your partner that you know them better than anyone else. If you haven't been together long, give them a gift that they will always remember.
Get Creative This Valentine's Day:
Shop Valentine's Day Gifts ▸
- Concert Tickets
Music is the language of love. A live show is always a great date, whether you're seeing a band you both love, or you're biting the bullet and seeing a performance to indulge your partner. Take them to see their favorite band, and maybe you'll leave with a new favorite song to share.
- A Coffee Table Book
There is an entirely different kind of romanticism involved in turning through the pages of a beautiful art book. Find a book that pertains to their interests to show that you are a thoughtful listener. A coffee table book will serve as a talking piece and hopefully remind them of you each time they peruse its pages.
- Vintage Jewelry
Jewelry is an old favorite on Valentine's Day, but there is a way you can make it more exciting and thoughtful. A piece of vintage jewelry will be a unique statement piece that your partner won't see on anyone else.
- Video Streaming
Watching a movie with your significant other can be very romantic (depending on the movie), which is why a night at the cinema has long been a staple of date night. In the last few years, video streaming has revolutionized the way you can watch movies at home, and a video streaming box is a great new way to share a movie night.
- Wine or Whiskey
If nothing else seems to fit, high quality consumables are always a great gift. If you're lucky, they will share with you, and that always makes for a fun night. Give this with the appropriate glassware if he or she doesn't already have a good set, so the gift can be enjoyed properly.
Gifting Tip:
The most important thing to consider when shopping this Valentine's Day is what your partner actually likes and wants -- an amazing present for one person may be a dud for another. Think outside the box, but do it thoughtfully.

Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- CDC Statistics
Sex Under the Influence
Alcohol and other drug use is linked to risky sexual behavior and poses significant threats to the health of adolescents. Substance abuse may impair adolescents' ability to make judgments about sex and contraception, placing them at increased risk for unplanned pregnancy, sexual assault, or becoming infected with a sexually transmitted disease (STD), including HIV/AIDS.
We know the AIDS virus can be transmitted through sharing hypodermic needles. Less is known about the dangerous role of alcohol and other drugs in sexual behavior that may lead to STDs and HIV/AIDS. To compound matters, there is also considerable evidence that alcohol and other drugs weaken the immune system, thereby increasing susceptibility to infection and disease.
Statistics on Sex while Under the Influence
Consider the following statistics:
- The use of alcohol and other drugs can affect judgment and lead to taking serious sexual risks.
- There were 18,540 cases of AIDS among 13- to 24-year-olds reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by the end of 1994.
- About 75 percent of high school seniors have had sexual intercourse at least once in their lives; about 20 percent have had more than four sexual partners by their senior year.
- Studies show that adolescents are less likely to use condoms when having sex after drinking alcohol than when sober. This places them at even higher risk for HIV infection, STDs, and unwanted pregnancy.
- A survey of high school students found that 18 percent of females and 39 percent of males say it is acceptable for a boy to force sex if the girl is stoned or drunk.
CDC Statistics
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HIV/AIDS has been the sixth leading cause of death among 15- to 20-year-olds in the United States for over three years. One in five of the new AIDS cases diagnosed is in the 20 to 29 year age group, meaning that HIV transmission occurred during the teen years. Additionally, more than half of new cases of HIV infection in 1994 were related to drug use.
There is still much to be learned about the relationship between alcohol and other drugs and sexual behavior. During the past decade, teens reported higher levels of sexual activity at earlier ages, experienced more unplanned pregnancies, and suffered higher rates of sexually transmitted diseases. To reduce the incidence of these problems in the future, prevention of alcohol and other drug abuse must be a top priority.

In just three weeks our team of volunteers from the ITFC Charitable Trust will be heading out to Ghana to work with the local community, building classrooms and helping to educate and inspire their children. Thanks to a generous donation via the recent Undy 500 Challenge fundraising event, the volunteers will also be delivering a real life saver to the villagers – LIFESAVER® Jerry Cans worth over £3,000.
The latest statistics from international charity WaterAid worryingly show that around 700,000 children continue to die every year from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. That's almost 2,000 children a day.
Our team of volunteers are leaving Ipswich on Monday 18th November to travel to the voltic region of Ghana to the remote village of Woe. There they will spend 10 days carrying out essential building work on primary schools around the area and also teach the villagers how to use the water purification LIFESAVER® Jerry Cans which filter down to 15 nanometres, that's 0.015microns. With the smallest virus known being Polio at 25 nanometers, these special LIFESAVER® Jerry Cans filter all bacteria, viruses, cysts and all waterborne pathogens from the water leaving the village with clean fresh water which is safe to drink. Our intrepid team came in one evening for some training with Ashton Hunt, MD, from LIFESAVER® Systems Ltd as it will be down to them to show the villagers how to use the special Jerry Cans during their stay next month.
Steve Flory, one of the Undy 500 participants who drove from Ipswich to Mount Olympus in Greece in six days, in a car purchased for less than £500, said of the donation "When you consider the advances in modern technology we enjoy in this part of the world its appalling to think there are still families living in poverty without even the basics like clean water. He continued "The volunteers have the tough job of working out there I just wanted to add even more value to their project which will give the people in the village a lasting legacy for years to come."
Terry Baxter CEO for ITFC Charitable Trust, concluded "Our volunteers are busy getting ready for Africa and now they will be leaving a fresh water legacy behind in Ghana - what a way to celebrate our 10 years as a charity."
For further details of the Trust's Africa Project 2013 and also of our work here in Suffolk take a look around this website or follow us on Facebook and Twitter @ITFC_Trust

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- General Equipment Reviews. (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/general-equipment-reviews/)
- - msnow? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/general-equipment-reviews/50827-msnow.html)
I got to ride msnow this summer and I didn't like it at all. It was what they used at a camp out here. They had a rail line with it and a huge jump into water. Good thing I tried the rail line out first cause the stuff was terrible. If you used an edge at all as a snowboarder it would pull you off line or cause you to crash. The skiers didn't seem to have a problem for some reason. I found out that not alot of snowboarders go off the water ramp because of it and it stinks cause I drove all the way there (3 hour drive) to only do the rail line. The main reason was also if you fell on the stuff (it was brittle hard plastic) you would litterally be cut multiple times. I would literally rather hit a 30 ft jump of reg. snow with no pool than risk being at such a high speed and risk catching an edge and falling on that stuff. Has anybody else had experiences with it? I wonder why skiers had little trouble with it.
I've not had the chance to ride it but I know it's used by a local company that does a lot of business here in Michigan.
He has a vid demonstration showing you can edge on it but as you said, the video showed skiers edging, not riders.

"We found everything excellent! The neighbourhood of Alfama is fun and the tram is a very special experience. With us 2To we could choose from 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. Highly recommended."
"Wij vonden alles uitstekend! Het buurtje Alfama is leuk en het trammetje is een heel bijzondere ervaring. Met ons 2en konden we kiezen uit 2 badkamers en 2 slaapkamers. Zeer aan te bevelen."
"First of all, Rui is very thoughtful to send us the direction by cab to the apartment via email days before departed. The cab driver has no problem in bringing us to the apartment at all. The location is excellent to stroll around the Alfama, yet the tram is just 2 minutes walk away to carry us downtown. It is readily accessable by the metro as well. We are delighted to find the Fado Museum and the fado cafes few minutes walk from the apartment. The flea market is just behind St Vincent Church which is also few minutes away. The apartment is very well maintained and provides everything we needed, including the hair dryer. Kitchen is ready to use. Rui also thoughtfully provide us with the Fado CDs for the 'test drive' experience. The cafes in front of the apartment are excellent, with very reasonable price and tasty food after comparing to others that we have had our meals. On our return, Roi has been very thoughtful as well to offer taking our baggages to the airport so that we could have the rest of the afternoon free to travel around lisboa before our departure in the late evening. Thank you for all the kind services and thank you friendly people of Portugal. "
"Receiving great, lots of information, and taken to the airport yet as topper. Ideal location for many trips and some fine restaurants nearby. No possibility to sit outside, but there is so much to see that it was no objection."
"Ontvangst geweldig, veel informatie, en als topper nog weggebracht naar vliegveld. Ideale ligging voor veel uitstapjes en enkele prima restaurantjes in de buurt. Geen mogelijkheid tot buiten zitten, maar er is zoveel te zien dat het geen bezwaar was."
"Very helpful owner Rui. Provided Interior. Everything desirable present. Perfect location."
"Zeer behulpzame eigenaar Rui. Verzorgd interieur. Alles wenselijk aanwezig. Perfecte locatie."
"Rui is a good guy and takes the time for you. Good location and close to tram connections, flat top!"
"Rui is een goede kerel en neemt de tijd voor je. Goede locatie en dichtbij tramverbindingen, Appartement top!"
"The welcome and advice, its location in an authentic setting, quiet and the decor. A vacuum cleaner may be... If anything"
"L'accueil et les conseils, son emplacement dans un cadre authentique, le calme et la déco. Un aspirateur peut-être... sinon rien"
"The apartment is just as beautiful as the advertised pictures indicate. The renovations appear to be brand new and every detail for comfort was looked after. It's a great location - an historic locale with a great neighbourhood feeling, lots of sites nearby and not far from downtown. Excellent for light sleepers, as the bedroom windows are very sound-proof and can be shaded for complete black-out if desired. The manager was extremely helpful, and provided great tips and suggestions for tourist sights with maps, and directions, etc. Our stay at this apartment went without a glitch. The service from the manager was absolutely excellent, with helpful tips & suggestions for tourist sights, maps, etc. - again every detail looked after. I would gladly recommend this vacation rental to friends and family."
Cees rated his/her apartment stay, but didn't leave any extra comments…
"The fact that there are two bathrooms were was perfect for us. The kitchen was also fully equipped suits what if you occasionally want to cook. Further takes Rui well the time to explain where you can find. He speaks perfect English! in the living room there is the rather full of furniture making it fast is full, perhaps another format?"
"Het feit dat er twee badkamers waren was perfect voor ons. De keuken was ook compleet ingericht wat goed uitkomt als je af en toe wil koken. Verder neemt Rui goed de tijd om uit te leggen waar je wat kan vinden. Hij spreekt perfect engels! in de woonkamer staat het nogal vol met meubels waardoor het snel vol is, wellicht een andere indeling?"
"We stayed there with my wife and my 9 months old daughter. Everything was perfect; except maybe teh road in Lisbon with the stroller but I can not blame the owner for that :-). The apartment is perfect. Living room on first floor and bedrooms downstairs. clean, convenient, and very nice welcome. everything for baby teh (bed, chair, stroller, kitchen utensils and barrier for the staircase) Teh internet conenction is free wifi; not 3G"

"Luxury apartment in the middle of the old quarter. The place to stay if you are looking for the real Lisbon, where fado can be heard not once in a restaurant for tourists now, but just to wobbly tables in the street. Particularly welcome by the owner, who all took time to give information about Lisbon. And if surprise his wife who returned to us again the plane. A minibar at cost and a welcome basket on the table. TOP!!!"
"Luxe appartement in het midden van de oude wijk. DE plek om te verblijven als je op zoek bent naar het ECHTE Lissabon, waar de fado nu eens niet in een touristenrestaurant te horen is, maar gewoon aan wiebelende tafeltjes in de straat. Bijzonder hartelijke ontvangst door de eigenaar, die alle tijd nam om informatie over Lissabon te geven. En als verrassing zijn vrouw die ons weer terugbracht naar het vliegtuig. Een minibar tegen kostprijs en een welkomstmandje op de tafel. TOP!!!"
"The apartment is comfortable, clean and stylish furnished and located in the typical Alfama district. An ideal base to explore the beautiful Lisbon! The welcome basket with specialties from Portugal was a tasty attention. We were received in a very friendly way by owner Rui that our extensive and interesting information about Lisbon and surroundings gave and brought us to the airport."
"Het appartement is comfortabel, proper en stijlvol ingericht en gelegen in de typische Alfama-wijk. Een ideale uitvalsbasis dus om het mooie Lissabon te verkennen! Het welkomstmandje met specialiteiten uit Portugal was een smakelijke attentie. We werden op een heel vriendelijke manier ontvangen door eigenaar Rui die ons uitgebreide en interessante informatie over Lissabon en omstreken gaf en ons zelf naar de luchthaven bracht."

I have a 13-day old with eye goop and I've been treating with breast milk. I also was just diagnosed with thrush and so now we're dealing with that fun. Baby is asymptomatic, and we believe he hasn't colonized the yeast yet, meaning there is a chance we can cure it in me before he gets it. It occurred to me this morning that maybe I shouldn't be putting yeasty breast milk in his eyes (and maybe this caused the goop?). On the other hand, I may not have a ton coming out in my milk if he doesn't have it yet. Thoughts on this? I could call the midwife but it's Sunday and I hate dealing with the labor and delivery nurses on the phone. :( I'd rather wait until tomorrow and talk to the clinic staff who know what they're talking about...
thank you!

Washington DC firm Steptoe & Johnson is the latest US firm to enter the Chicago market, launching an office there today by taking nine partners from local firm Gardner Carton & Douglas ahead of its merger with Philadelphia-headquartered Drinker Biddle & Reath, also effective today.
Steptoe has lured litigation partners Christopher Barber and Stephen O'Donnell from Gardner Carton, as well as seven other commercial litigation partners. In total, Steptoe is poaching 20 lawyers and staff from Gardner Carton before its merger with Drinker Biddle.
Barber and O'Donnell have particular experience in insurance litigation, for which Chicago is a hub. Steptoe wants to generally grow its litigation footprint across the US.
The firm's head of litigation, Steve Fennell said: "This group is a strong match with our firm on several levels given the cases we both handle and the clients we both represent. The move is consistent with our plan to continue our growth where we find the highest calibre lawyers."
With Chicago, the firm wants to leverage off its London office to offer a transatlantic team in insurance and insurance litigation.
Chicago is Steptoe's seventh office and will be headed by litigation partner Steven Davidson and employment partner Paul Mickey, both currently based in the DC office. In July, the 450-lawyer firm opened a California office in Century City.
Steptoe is just the latest of a spate of firms rushing to enter the Chicago market. In recent months, Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker and Reed Smith have opened offices there.

Valentine Evenings of Elegance and Magic at the American West Heritage Center February 10 and 11
Celebrate Valentine's Day early with dinner, wagon rides, outlaws, gun fighters and a vaudeville style show of magic and music featuring deceptionist Richard Hatch, violinist Rosemary Hatch and pianist Jonathan Hatch at the AWHC Opera House.
Tickets are just $55 per couple for dinner and the show and just $25/couple for the show only. Dinner reservations are required by February 7th. Tickets may be reserved by calling the American West Heritage Center at 435-245-6050.
Performer's biographies:
Magician Richard Hatch holds two graduate degrees in Physics from Yale University, but finds it easier apparently to violate the laws of nature than to discover them. A childhood interest in magic became a lifelong obsession after he met and was encouraged by the German magician Fredo Raxon in 1970. A full time professional "deceptionist"
Violinist Rosemary Kimura Hatch received her Masters degree from Yale School of Music and her Bachelors Degree with Performer's Certificate from Eastman School of Music. She has studied Chamber Music with the Fine Arts, Tokyo and Cleveland Quartets and with Raphael Hillyer. She has performed with the New Haven, Hartford, San Antonio and Houston Symphonies and with the Houston Grand Opera. Her principle private instructors have been Sergiu Luca, Syoko Aki, Peter Salaff, Charles Castleman and Martha Katz. As a teacher herself she has been on the faculty of Music Schools in New Haven, Milwaukee and Houston. She currently teaches privately at the Hatch Academy of Magic and Music in Logan and at Interlochen Summer Arts Camp in Michigan. She and Richard Hatch were married in 1982 and have two children, Catherine and Jonathan.
Pianist Jonathan Hatch has studied with Paul Krystofiak at St. Thomas University in Houston, Texas and with Sophia Gilmson at the University of Texas in Austin. He is currently pursuing studies to be a Veterinary Technician.
