torti gallas andpartners, silver spring, md.
Tom Gallas remembers the first meeting he had with the residents of Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza, a set of high-rise public housing towers in South Philadelphia. It was 1995, and his firm, Torti Gallas and Partners, had just won the commission to revitalize the project under HUD's HOPE VI program. "I've got to tell you, this was not easy for the residents to get behind in the beginning," he says. "It wasn't a wonderful meeting—there was no trust." The best way to earn their confidence and start improving their community, he reasoned, would be to get to know them better. So the firm hired 20 residents to go door to door throughout the towers with a detailed questionnaire. The survey asked people what they liked and disliked about their current living situations as well as what design features their new homes would ideally contain.
The answers to those questions helped form the basis for a comprehensive re-imagining of the towers and the surrounding neighborhood —an effort that won MLK, as the project is known, a share in residential architect's 2006 Project of the Year award. "The architects were listening to how people want to live," said one judge.
After the local housing authority decided to demolish the high-rises, Torti Gallas embarked on a plan to replace them with a mixed-use, mixed-income community of row houses and low-rise apartment buildings. But the residents who wanted to return to MLK outnumbered the units the firm could fit within its New Urbanist scheme. So the architects expanded their vision beyond the 6-acre tower site, designating nearby abandoned row houses and lots for further redevelopment. They integrated the new buildings into the existing streetscape, carefully keeping to the scale and materials palette of the original urban fabric. "It's not trying to be flashy new architecture," another judge said. "Architecturally it's not pushing the envelope, but it's not about that. It's about revitalizing a neighborhood."
Urban designer and master planner Cheryl O'Neill studied Philadelphia's historic housing stock for guidance on everything from proportions to land planning to window patterns. She and project manager Patrice McGinn devised a kit of contextual building parts that would allow substantial differentiation along the streetscape—varied detailing, color schemes, and building heights—without breaking a tight budget. "A variety of unit types across the façade was a real part of that neighborhood, because the original builders were small," O'Neill explains. The street layout she designed follows the typical Philadelphia grid of major and minor streets with either off-street or alley parking. "The project is doing something to help the city and its people," one judge observed. "This is great urban design."

Harrogate, T.N. – The Brevard College women's volleyball team was away from home for the fourth straight match on Saturday afternoon, as the Tornados fell 3-1 (22-25, 16-25, 25-21, 27-29) to the Lady Railsplitters of Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn.
The loss drops the Tornados to 7-5 overall and 0-2 in SAC play, while LMU moves to 11-2 overall and 1-0 in conference play with the win.
Set one saw five ties and four lead changes as neither team could pull away from the other one. After LMU jumped out to an early 1-0 lead, the Tornados stormed back to take a 7-4 lead on a kill by senior setter Jami Perry.
Over the next seven points, the Tornados were able to keep a slight advantage over the Lady Railsplitters until a kill by Kodi Cartwright gave LMU a 10-9 lead.
BC regained the lead at 14-13 by way of an attack error by Lincoln Memorial; however, the Lady Railsplitters took the lead for good only three points later as Amanda Horenkamp recorded a kill to put LMU up 16-15.
Down the stretch, LMU did not relinquish the lead and was able to hold off BC to pick up the 25-22 win and an early 1-0 match lead.
In set two, BC jumped out to an early 4-2 lead on a kill by freshman Chelsea Larson, only to have LMU run off six straight unanswered points to take an 8-6 lead.
Brevard again fought back to tie the score at 10-10 on a kill by Perry, but that was a close as the Tornados would get for the set, as the Lady Railsplitters outscored the Tornados 15-6 for the remainder of the match to pick up the 25-16 win and push their lead to 2-0 over BC.
The Tornados would not go down with out a fight, as the third set proved to be a battle in which there were nine ties and three lead changes before BC put away LMU 25-21.
After LMU took a 1-0 lead, the Tornados knotted the score up on a kill by Brooke Seaman. The two teams would then trade points until BC took their biggest lead of the match at 16-13 on a kill by Chelsea Larsen.
After a LMU kill by Horenkamp cut the BC lead to two, the Tornados went on a run to take a 20-17 lead on a kill by Seaman, only to have LMU storm back to force the ninth tie of the set at 20-20.
BC would not blow away as the Tornados finished the set on a 5-1 run to score the 25-21 win and force a fourth set.
Down 2-1, the Tornados fell behind 5-0 early in the fourth set before a kill by Seaman put them on the board at 5-1, starting a run in which the Tornados outscored LMU 20-17 to tie the score up at 22-22.
LMU took a 23-22 lead on a kill by Cartwright, which was answered by a BC kill off the hand off Seaman to re-tie the score at 23-23.
The two teams would trade points and go back-and-forth until a kill by LMU's Allison Hess gave the Lady Railsplitters a 28-27 advantage and a third match point. The next point would go to LMU on an attack error by BC, giving the Lady Railsplitters the 3-1 win.
BC was led by Perry's 34 set assists, five kills and one service ace, while Seaman posted a match-high 19 kills, one solo block and four block assists. Larsen had eight kills for the four-set match, while fellow freshman Ashlie Morrison added five kills of her own.
Sophomore libero Rebecca Schoonover recorded 25 digs for the match, while newcomer Chelsey Trojan had 19 digs of her own.
For LMU, setter Lauren Kiwacka had a match-high 46 assists, while Cartwright, Horenkamp and Cami Lefeld had 13, 12 and 11 kills, respectively.
The Tornados will return to action at home on Tuesday, September 23, when BC will play host to Mars Hill College at 7 p.m. Lincoln Memorial will next be in action on Tuesday night as well, as the Lady Railsplitters will travel to Anderson, S.C. to face off with Anderson University.

Often we are so concerned with what we're putting in our bodies that we don't think about what we're putting ON our bodies. Just as processed foods have negative impacts on our internal organs, harsh ingredient-filled body care products have negative impacts on our skin.What's the deal with Palm Oil?Palm Oil is found in Food, Bio-Fuel, and Bodycare Products. Palm Oil is harvested in Indonesia. The clear-cutting of these Indonesian rainforests displaces all living things within that ecosystem. After the Palm Oil is harvested, the remnants of the clear cutting are then generally burned. This burning releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than fossil fuels. Do they have any fragrance-free products?Yes! Their recently introduced Hand Creme product is available in a fragrance-free option.Do they use filtered water in their products?Yes! The water used in their products goes through a softening, purification, UV and filtration process.

Hey so I've had quite a rough few weeks with my health and whatnot so I thought it'd be a good idea to take my mind off icky things and blog more! I have a few ideas in mind but it'd be nice if people could suggest some topics I could blog about. I was thinking just doing some simple entries like talking about strange animals or music that I enjoy but I'm also open to any other suggestions. I'm not particularly keen on talking about my problems as this is not the place for it but I'm happy to talk...

I don't know why but today I'm in the mood to talk about my favourite dinosaurs! Dinosaurs are incredibly cool creatures that I've always been interested in studying so what better than to dedicate a blog entry to them? Today, I'll be talking about the Velociraptor but I will be probably blogging about some of my other favourite dinosaurs from the three time periods in which they existed - the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods in later entries. For now, feel free to enjoy this slightly...

Five years ago, I bought a small orange and white furball from the pet store and called it Toast. Today, I lost the guinea pig I'd loved to old age and I'm throwing exam revision aside to come to terms with her loss.
She was sick over the past few days though she'd gotten better. We wrapped her in one of my old jumpers and my sister thought she's recover just fine.
Only after dinner was I told that she died. They buried her in the backyard and held a small funeral...

Hiya! I'm going to Europe for three weeks starting from the 11th till the 3rd next year so if I disappear off the face of the Earth, that's why. Anyhow, I'd like to ask if people would know some good places to visit where we're going?
We're going to the following cities, each for 3-5 days:
- London
- Paris
- Venice
- Rome
- Milan
- Zürich
We're already going to most of the iconic places (e.g. Eiffel Tower and Big Ben)...

RN at the front desk... why would you want to work in a position where you deal with so many people if you don't have any people skills yourself? I guess you must not have thought that one through very well. Your lack of common courtesy and general could-care-less attitude was not appreciated during my trip to the emergency room today. This hospital would be a much better place without you. Working at a hospital you deal with people on some of the worst days of their lives, and I shudder to think of you trying to have a human moment with any one of them.

Pretençión: Un Cirque de Burlesque, un Burlesque de Cirque
Theater review by Raven Snook. Elektra Theatre (see Off Broadway). By Jonathan Van Gieson. Dir. Van Gieson and Jeremy X. Halpern. With ensemble cast. 1hr 30mins. One intermission.
Ostensibly a parody of over-the-top, obscure yet ubiquitous cirque spectacles, Pinchbottom's Pretençión is, at its heart, a burlesque revue that lovingly sends up itself. Following the Wizard of Oz template, a ringmistress (the wonderful, wide-eyed Tansy), an unstable clown (boylesque legend Tigger!) and an ordinary man (Murray Hill, the ultimate quipster) go on a magical journey to the land of Imaginaçión in order to regain their pretension, because without it, they fear, their burlesque is just plain old stripping. Along the way, they're misguided by a none-too-helpful Fairy (Broadway Brassy) and four affected Jonny Porkpies, all played by writer, codirector and Pinchbottom Burlesque cofounder Jonathan Van Gieson.
Like the characters, Pretençión seems to exist between two worlds: high and low, theater and nightlife, smart and stupid. There are scripted bits that leave a lot of room for improvisation, containing references to Proust and Godot as well as deliberately awful jokes about croque-monsieur. Between scenes, special guests perform superb yet seemingly unrelated acts. (Dirty Martini, Julie Atlas Muz, Jo "Boobs" Weldon and Angie Pontani—luminaries all—performed on the night attended.)
Scenesters will rightfully be seduced by Pretençión, and those on the lookout for top-notch burlesque should enjoy this feast for the senseless. But if a cohesive show is what you're after, this one slightly misses the mark; it might leave you feeling some frustraçión.—Raven Snook

Ryan Freel, a former Major League Baseball player known for his fearless play but whose career was cut short after eight seasons by a series of head and other injuries, was found dead Saturday in Jacksonville, Fla., according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Freel, who was 36, died of what appeared to be a self-inflicted shotgun wound, sheriff's office spokesman Shannon Hartley wrote in an email Sunday. The medical examiner will make the final determination of the cause of death.
"RIP Ryan Freel!! Great teammate, great guy,n loved his family!" former Cincinnati Reds teammate Sean Casey tweeted. "Such a sad day today with his passing!Awful news!Prayers are with his family!"
The speedy Freel spent six of his eight big league seasons with the Reds and finished his career in 2009 with a .268 average and 143 steals.
"Really hurt by his passing!" Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips said on Twitter. "You'll never will be forgotten."
Freel drew attention in 2006 when he was quoted by the Dayton Daily News as saying he had an imaginary friend, Farney. "He's a little guy who lives in my head who talks to me and I talk to him," Freel was quoted as saying. "Everybody thinks I talk to myself, so I tell 'em I'm talking to Farney."
The Jacksonville native thrilled fans with his all-out style, yet it took a toll on his career. During his playing days, he once estimated he had suffered up to 10 concussions. Freel missed 30 games in 2007 after a collision with a teammate caused a concussion.
Freel showed no fear as he ran into walls, hurtled into the seats and crashed into other players trying to make catches. His jarring, diving grabs often made the highlight reels, and he was praised by those he played with and against for always having a dirt-stained uniform.
Selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 10th round of the 1995 amateur draft out of Tallahassee Community College, Freel made his big league debut in April 2001 with the Blue Jays after second baseman Homer Bush injured a thumb.
Freel appeared in just nine major league games that season, became a free agent and spent all of 2002 at Tampa Bay's Triple-A farm team. He signed a minor league deal with the Reds that November and made it back to the majors the following April.
He stayed with the Reds through 2008, when a torn tendon in his right hamstring caused him to miss the final 103 games of the season. He was traded to Baltimore at that December's winter meetings and split the 2009 season among the Orioles, Chicago Cubs and Kansas City Royals.
"The Reds family is deeply saddened to hear of the death of Ryan Freel," the Cincinnati Reds said in a statement.
Swisher joins Indians
Nick Swisher has agreed to a $56 million, four-year contract with the Cleveland Indians, a person familiar with the deal said.
The 32-year-old Swisher spent the last four seasons with the New York Yankees and took advantage of the short porch at Yankee Stadium. A switch-hitter who plays outfield and first base, he hit .272 this year with 24 homers and 93 RBIs.

FEARS about closer working with Bournemouth council were voiced as Christchurch members considered their prospective involvement in the City Deal bid.
The possibility of the future union with the neighbouring unitary authority was discussed at a meeting of Christchurch's resources committee, with some councillors citing the history between the two authorities as a reason to exercise caution.
The government has invited Bournemouth to make a bid for City Deal status, which is intended to benefit not just the main town but the wider area.
And in order to make the bid conurbation-based, the council has invited Poole, Christchurch and East Dorset to take part in discussions and support the bid.
Ideas under discussion include the creation of an Enterprise Zone for Bournemouth Airport and Poole Port and the pooling of transport funding to invest in key infrastructure, which could include roads around the airport.
But despite the potential economic benefits to the area, some Christchurch members had reservations.
Cllr Colin Bungey said: "What I want to know is how tightly does this tie us into Bournemouth?
"I have reservations about the prosperity of Bournemouth and some of the disasters that have happened in their borough.
"The reef and Imax and the money that has been spent – I would not like this borough to get tied into a situation where we lose our sovereignty if we became too close to Bournemouth.
"This council fought a successful battle with great help from the residents to stay independent a few years ago when Bournemouth were awarded unitary status.
"I am happy to go forward for a deal that will encourage growth and prospects in the borough but with caution."
Cllr John Lofts also asked whether the airport could be in its own enterprise zone separate from Poole port to ensure the council's aim and objectives for the airport were protected.
Dave Barnes, strategic director at the council partnership, said: "This does not tie us into anything politically or financially.
"They are not really interested in Christchurch in terms of any takeover.
"We are being treated as an equal partner in this. They respect what we can bring to the table."
Councillors voted to delegate authority to the leader of the council to negotiate the authority's further involvement.

She raised eyebrows by posing nude for Leonardo DiCaprio's character in the original "Titanic" flick, but Kate Winslet's birthday suit scenes won't be shown in China's version of the newly released "Titanic 3D."
According to a report, the Chinese government has determined that the "Mildred Pierce" babe's breasts would be too much trouble in 3D so they've banned the scene altogether.
A statement from China's State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television said, "Considering the vivid 3D effects, we fear that viewers may reach out their hands for a touch and thus interrupt other people's viewing. We've decided to cut off the nudity scenes."
One Chinese man complained, "I've been waiting for almost 15 years, and not for the 3D icebergs."

As I sit here trying to recover from this dumb cold, I'm wishing I was at a cool Halloween
party instead. So, what does a bored blogger do on a Saturday night? Surf the internet of course. And I just realized I need a new pair of shoes. I haven't bought any in a while and I think I'm due.
Maybe I'll grab a pair of brown lace-up boots. These Tod's Nubuk Boots are way out of my price range at $585, but I can definitely see a nature-loving fashionista rocking them. I'd probably go for something without so much of a heel. Yeah, I need to pick up a pair soon. I know I'll get a lot of wear out of them. Especially in colder weather. Speaking of the cold, you ladies on the east coast could use them right about now huh? Stay warm out there! And maybe you could do some online shoe shopping to keep busy.
So, what do you think? Will lace-up boots be on your shopping list?

Pablo Picasso
The Diners (Les Soupeurs)
Pablo Picasso
Spanish, 1881-1973
The Diners (Les Soupeurs), 1901
Oil on cardboard
47.3 x 62.4 cm (18 5/8 x 24 9/16 inches)
Bequest of George Pierce Metcalf 57.237
Pablo Picasso painted scenes of café society in Madrid and Barcelona before returning to France in the spring of 1901. Once back in Paris, he quickly adapted the techniques of his contemporaries to his constantly emerging personal style. Henri Toulouse-Lautrec's raucous characterizations of dancehall women and Édouard Vuillard's fluid decorative surfaces are recalled in this observant rendering of an elder gentleman and his solicitous companion. The woman's exuberant appearance contrasts with her partner's sober reflection as they partake of an after-theater meal of fruit and champagne. Picasso juxtaposed the narrative of the pair's intensely mismatched engagement with the still life of the lightly set table. A patterned robe, cropped at upper right, emphasizes the fleeting nature of this typical impression of nocturnal Paris.

Evolution Hoax
One of satan's major goals is to divert people from the Way of Allah and lead them to Hell. He busies their minds with false apprehensions in an attempt to confuse them and prevent sound thought.
All sincere believers have an open mind and thus are aware of reality and can consider all of the details necessary to reach a sound decision. Their moral character, which is reflected in their behavior, comes from their faith, fear, and respect of Allah. But sometimes satan can take advantage of their momentary forgetfulness, carelessness, or lack of knowledge to draw them into unawareness.
Allah warns believers about this danger: "Do not let satan bar your way. He truly is an outright enemy to you." (Surat al-Zukhruf: 62) and "Those who believe fight in the Way of Allah. Those who disbelieve fight in the way of false deities. So fight the friends of satan! Satan's scheming is always feeble"(Surat an-Nisa': 76). He announces that satan's devious plans will not affect sincere believers. Satan knows this and, when he vows to lead people astray, does not include Allah's sincere servants:
He (satan) said: "By Your might, I will mislead all of them, except for Your chosen servants among them." (Surah Sad: 82-83)
Despite this knowledge, satan nevertheless tries to confuse their minds during times of difficulty, illness, or some other personal hardship, if only for a moment, to prevent them from earning an even greater reward and rising to an even higher place in Allah's Sight. For example, if someone is about to do a good deed, satan may insert thoughts about postponing it until later so that, hopefully, the person will forget all about it. Or, as we read in Surat an-Nisa' 95: "Those believers who stay behind–other than those forced to by necessity–are not the same as those who strive in the Way of Allah, sacrificing their wealth and themselves. Allah has given those who strive with their wealth and themselves a higher rank than those who stay behind. Allah has promised the best to both, but has preferred those who strive over those who stay behind by an immense reward." Satan wants to prevent believers from striving in His Way and from earning greater dignity in His Sight.
Satan makes intimations to believers during difficult times of sickness or in the heat of battle in order to take advantage of a momentary weakness.
Of course, Allah tests individuals with periods of difficulty, pressure, and distress so that they will reveal their true natures. Such testing is very important. For example, during the time of our Prophet (saas), some individuals who were constantly by his side on the battlefield became unaware in the heat of battle:
… when they came at you from above you and below you, when your eyes rolled and your hearts rose to your throats, and you thought unworthy thoughts about Allah. (Surat al-Ahzab: 10)
Allah gives the good news that sincere believers who fall into momentary unawareness will be forgiven if they repent. Repentance is thus one of His great gifts. In fact, He tells us in the Qur'an how He forgave three sincere believers who regretted their failure to fight:
And (He turned) also toward the three who were left behind, so that when Earth became narrow for them, for all its great breadth, and their own selves became constricted for them and they realized that there was no refuge from Allah except in Him, He turned to them so that they might turn to Him. Allah is the Ever-Returning, the Most Merciful. (Surat at-Tawba: 118)
Satan can whisper to people until they become immersed in despair, thinking that everything is lost and that the situation is irremediable. But believers know that such thoughts are no more than satanic deceptions, and so ignore them. They immediately turn to Allah, repent, and take refuge from unawareness in Him:
As for those who guard against evil, when they are bothered by suggestions from satan, they remember and immediately see clearly. (Surat al-A'raf: 201)
Taking refuge in Allah from the empty apprehensions that can lead them into unawareness, they are careful to remember Him at all times, read and ponder the Qur'an, and pray constantly. So, by His will, they are saved from even a moment of unawareness.

Post subject: Help me?
So...I think I have a problem.
Let me start from the beginning. After being laid off at the beginning of the year (due to the economy) I landed a good job with good benefits with decent pay, in my field of experience (yeah for me!) One of the perks was I received a Blackberry Storm paid for by my employer (the downside of being in IT...always on call.) I am enjoying my job...and my new toy. I can download apps to it...a few games, some weather stuff....nothing too distracting. Until....in July I discovered this little app called BlackStar Navigation.
At first I just used it to keep track of bike routes, nothing fancy....but kind of fun. Then I discovered it could do geocaching. Now I had heard about geocaching and had wanted to try it, but never could justify the expense of a GPS unit to try geocaching. I thought it could be something fun that I could do with the family, get us all outdoors and such. But if it turned out to be something that we didn't enjoy I didn't want to be stuck with a GPS unit we weren't going to use. So finding this free app was kind of nice.
I started reading up on geocaching and what I needed to do. I discovered that there was a cache at the park literally across the street from our house. I thought "Great, we can try this and see what happens." So on a weekday evening I loaded my first cache into my phone, and my girls and I walked over to the park, we searched for a good 10-15 minutes but didn't find it. Oh well...the three of us tried again a few days later, but still nothing (turns out that cache had gone missing.) So we then decided to try a different cache at a different park. This time the wife went with us. After a minor hiccup (the phone needed a reboot to pickup a GPS signal) we were off. We walked around for a few minutes and then the phone would point a different direction....so we would walk that way for a bit....then it would point a slightly different direction...after doing this back and forth dance for a bit the wife says, "Maybe it's that tree in there." So, I cut into the woods...looked around that tree and discover out first cache! We have gone out and found several other cache's since then; discovered (and moved) some Travel Bugs and picked up our first Geosafari card from Afton State Park. It is something we have found really enjoyable. The girls love finding things to trade.
So...now here I am middle of September and I think I have a problem. I have started looking for caches that I can search for on my lunch break during work. Last night I went out looking for a couple of caches while my oldest daughter was at her Girl Scout meeting. The wife and I are going to Vegas next week and I am looking for caches around where we are staying. To make matters worse, I got scolded by the family because I had found a cache with out them. In addition I have started looking for a dedicated GPS unit (leaning toward a Garmin Dakota 10) I don't recall reading anything about how additive this could become...is there any hope for me or the family? Thanks for listening to my tale of whoa...and any advice on what I should do would be appreciated.

My advice, don't even look at any of the many many challenge caches that are out there (Many hidden by King Boreas) that require you do something nuts like find a cache in every county of Minnesota, every county seat, every page of the DeLorme Atlas... etc. My poor truck racked up probably an extra 10K miles since last summer on those road trips (along with the Minnesota State Park series.) Seriously though, what a blast we had!
In the last year or so we have seen just about every corner of the state, literally, and found places here, and in other states and even countries that we would have never found if it wasn't for geocaching! Oh if you're going to Vegas it is the motherlode of virtuals along the strip (and even a few traditional ones, make sure you're brushed up on micro hunting for those) so my only advice for Vegas is know which ones are virtuals and what they want for the logging requirement if you can't see the info on your phone. I also recommend Convention Center Hotel Cache, a nice cure for the micros that's close to a lot of the strip action! Oh and if you're into being able to "light up" another state found on your map don't forget California is only about 45 mins away down I-15 and there are caches right across the border! Kind of interesting drive through the desert if you haven't done it before, very different terrain from Minnesota!
Have fun!!

Awe man....now you went and did it. I thought the Afton multicache was fun....now I am going to have start looking into these Challenge caches. Where do I find the details on different Challenge Caches?
We aren't renting a car for our trip to Vegas so hitting CA this time won't happen; we are only going to be their for a couple of days. I do have some relatives that live in CA...sounds like a good excuse to go visit. I've seen a number of virtual caches along the Strip which we are going to do.
Thanks for the advice

Just so you know now that you and the family are hooked there is no hope.
I got hooked in 2006 and I still ove my time in the woods with my son and when the wife comes along it is even better. Nothing like spending family time.
Now that dose not mean that I don't like time out on the trail by my self. I had some time to do some more MN caches this weekend in New Ulm.
I have found that any time I go on a trip for work or for play I find at least 1 cache wear ever we go.
I got my first GPS for my birthday and laid it to rest just last mouth it was a nice funeral all in atendance were sad.
My 300 brought us to many places and many caches it will be missed.
Good luck with your new found adiccition.
It can and will be alot of fun for you and the family.
My only sugestion is don't tell the family when you go out by your self if they get mad. There are alot of us that sneek out and cache.
Check into the Event page and go with on some of the WNC ( week night Caching )
Bring the kids they will have fun too.
I may grow old, But I will never grow up.

And if you're really not careful, you'll find yourself canoeing to caches, wading through swamps, climbing trees, climbing cliffs with no safety gear, diving to the bottom of Square lake, and all kinds of crazy crap. You might even find yourself caching on Halloween.

That's funny you say that. I used to tell my wife that I cache for fun and sure beats drinking and womanizing. She now tells me she might rather have me drinking and womanizing since I just MIGHT be home more often.

I was afraid I was going to hear that news. Oh well, at least I have taken the first step....I have admitted I have a problem
Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to make it to a self-help session until the soccer season is over. I guess in the meantime I should do some therapy myself (or with the family.)

Yes, you are in big touble. Let me tell you I started caching in Feb 2007 with a Garmin V, then moved to a Magellan 500LE, then to a Garmin Colorado, then an Oregon 400t and now a Oregon 550t. Last year I bought a canoe for geocaching as well. I try to attend most WeekNIGHT get togethers and most events. Last summer I visited every State Park to complete their challenge. I have learned you should always have an extra set of clothes and shoes in you vehicle. I have served on event committees for the MnGCA and am currently on the board. I am part of a committee to bring GeocoinFest to the Twin Cities next year. I have had two different pathtags made as signature items and have a pretty good size collection of geocoins and pathtags. I plan caching as part of my trips even if it means only getting one. I have driven to do one cache and have ended up being gone the whole weekend. My daughter will go occasionally and my wife is not an outdoors person so rarely goes at all. Consider yourself lucky the whole family enjoys it and hope they continue to.
Your journey has only begun and hold on because it can be quite a ride!

I second that. My kids rarely accompany me and my wife never does. I don't at all mind caching alone but I wish my wife and kids shared my enjoyment of the sport. If they did, not only would I get to cache more frequently but finds would be made faster and there would be fewer DNF's because ISAC.

At 24 finds, I say get out now while you still can. That initial high youre feeling will soon turn into months of scratching and calamine lotion as you treat your poison ivy, not to mention the frost bitten nose as you trudge across a frozen lake to dig in the snow for a cache you couldnt reach in the summer months. The bee stings alone should have you running to a safer sport. You cant imagine the gut wrenching feeling we all have when the game is tied with 4 minutes on the clock and you have to miss the end because Surfer Joe published a new cache 2.8 miles away. Why subject yourself to the looks from your friends and coworkers as you try to explain it to them. My advice is to run, and run fast. Its too late for us, but there is still hope for you if you can find the strength to just say no!
Ahhhhhhhh, the power of cheese!

Thanks for everyone words of advice. I've been in the woods before....so I know what to look for in regards to poison ivy(it's green and leafy....right?
). And I've had my share of bug bites and close calls with larger critters. As for Wild Parsnip...I don't believe I've run across that yet.
As for soccer...I don't play anymore(if anyone thinks soccer is a safer sport we need to talk). I'm coaching my daughter's team now. So if I had to bail with 4 minutes left in the game...I'm sure the kids would do just fine
I might get some funny looks from the parents, but I'm sure they would understand once I explained why I disappeared.....right?
I may have only 24...but I think it's already too late. I was at REI earlier today checking out different GPS units (didn't buy anything...yet)

Those two commitments join a massive class that now totals 34 upper-echelon prospects, 24 residing from the Lone Star State and 10 hailing from other states or the JuCo ranks.
The blend should give Heisman winner Johnny Manziel plenty of tools to work with on the offensive side of the ball and the defensive unit will be replenished with players to come in and build on a 10-2 inaugural 2012 SEC season. The incoming recruits will be the beneficiaries of something quite unique.
"It's unprecedented that an incoming class could have three full years to play with a Heisman Trophy winner, and it looks like Johnny Manziel is having an impact on the recruiting ranks as well with a pair of five-star receivers coming in," said Scout.com Director of Scouting Scott Kennedy in regards to the talent in the class. "Derrick Griffin has been committed for nearly a year, but adding Ricky Seals-Jones to the class says a lot about the season A&M has had and the bright future ahead. A&M has been on a tear the last month including four players rated four-stars or better."
Many will chalk A&M's top class up to sheer numbers. With 34 commits in the bag most recruitniks assume that each and every recruit is tabulated in to the rankings equation.
"The formula caps at the Top 25 players per class," explained Kennedy. "Some teams will sign 35 players, but only 25 count towards the rankings. To look at A&M's class and think that the No. 1 class is simply based on quantity is not seeing the bigger picture. A&M's 17 four-star or better rated players is second in the nation, only behind Notre Dame. The Aggies count three more highly rated three-star players in their class to give them the nod over the Irish and Wolverines by a very slim margin.
"Notre Dame and Michigan each have a better star per player at 3.86 for Notre Dame and 3.58 for Texas A&M, and some people are convinced that should be the only factor in an equation. There has to be a balance between quantity and quality in a class, and I don't know that there is an exact line to figure that out, but looking at A&M's class, if the Aggies were to take the Top 22 commits, their star average is 3.86, equal to Notre Dame.
"Would Texas A&M be better off if they dropped their last 3-Star guys to inflate their average," Kennedy questioned as he continued with his thoughts. "That doesn't make any sense. And to discount the possible impact highly ranked three star guys can have on a program or play beyond their ranking is doing a dis-service to the class itself, right Johnny Manziel?"
(Manziel was rated as the No. 22 ranked QB, rated three stars in 2010).
"USC has a whopping 4.38 star per player average, but they only have 16 commitments. I think they would love to be able to add nine more ranked three-star players to add to their depth, even if it meant lowering their star average."
To secure the National Recruiting Rankings title Kevin Sumlin and the Aggies will have to fight off some stiff competition from schools that still have more room to add talent.
"A&M is currently sitting at 4460 points and each commitment they add will have minimal effect on that number. 4460 would have put the Aggies No. 3 in 2012, so it's definitely possible, that they'll be overtaken by Signing Day."
When asked who the biggest threats were to A&M's No. 1 position, Kennedy reeled off some of the usual suspects.
"Alabama always closes strong the last week of the year. In the Big Ten, I'd keep an eye on Ohio State. Urban Meyer is out on the road while others are getting ready for Bowl games, and he has a shiny 12-0 record and a couple of BCS Championship rings to take with him. Michigan and Notre Dame are only one commitment away from taking back the No. 1 spot that each of them have held at one point this year."

SAN BERNARDINO - The San Bernardino County District Attorney's office began their effort in reducing the demand for victims of human trafficking by releasing the first photograph of a defendant convicted of solicitation.
The Stop-the-John project will continue throughout the county as long as there is a demand for sex-workers.
"The biggest impact we can make on the john's that solicit prostitutes is to shame them publicly," said San Bernardino County District Attorney, Michael Ramos. "This is the deterrent."
The District Attorney's Office will release the names and photographs of any man or woman convicted of solicitation in San Bernardino County, Ramos said.
"The message is simple," Ramos said, "This is the wrong county to solicit sex in."
The first "John" was convicted on February 13 in the West Valley Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga.
Jimmy Galindo, 32 of Alhambra, was arrested in September 2012 for drug and solicitation of prostitution, according to court records.
Galindo was sentenced to 30 days in jail, a $275 fine and was ordered to undergo HIV antibody testing through the San Bernardino County Health Department. He also needs to complete a county operated HIV education program.
He was ordered to return to court on March 20 to learn his HIV test results.
The stop-the-john database can be viewed at sbcountyda.org.

PS: Diane is out on vacation this week, so I apologize for the brief radio silence. We could never be as prolific as the original Genealogy Insider!Family Tree University | Genealogy Events
The South used small, fast ships to try to slip past the Union Navy, and over the course of the war, five out of six blockade runners were successful in evading the blockade. But because of the runners' small size, drastically less cargo got into and out of the South.
The whole country experienced food shortages, but the blockade made things more severe in the South. Prices soared and people got creative about stretching foodstuffs. According to Life in Civil War America, some butchers even sold dressed rats. But in case you're eating this over lunch, these examples from the book of making do are easier to digest:
When salt was unavailable to use as a seasoning, things with a salty flavor could be used, such as a pinch of wood ashes or a wild plant called coltsfoot, and soldiers sometimes used a dash of gunpowder.
And ...
Chicory, acorns, beans, beets, bran, corn, cornmeal, cotton seeds, dandelion root, okra seeds, peanuts, peas, sugarcane seeds and wheat berries were variously parched, dried, browned or roasted and used to make ersatz coffee. Other versions used tubers like carrots or yams, which were cut into small pieces, dried, toasted ad then ground up.
Most researchers agree it's important to cite sources, but the hows, whens and wheres have caused a bit of a stir. Genealogy blog readers may notice what my mom and dad used to call a "discussion" over the importance of adhering to the finer points of source citation style (which might be intimidating to newbie or casual researchers) versus just getting the source information down.
Another component to the issue (and something else that can make source citation look complicated) is evaluating a source's reliability:
Is the information likely to be correct because the source—say, a birth certificate—was created when the birth, marriage or other event happened? Or is the source less reliable because it's a transcription of a digitized book written years later by someone who read a newspaper article about the grandson of the person whose neighbor was actually there? Do several less-reliable sources that provide consistent information equal a reliable source? Can you ever really prove when certain events happened in your ancestor's life? What does it all mean??
These folks weigh in with their opinions and encouragement:
Source citation doesn't have to be scary. The key is to note every bit of information available about the record, website, book, newspaper, person or other source you used, and make sure it doesn't get separated from the information the source provided. Whenever possible, get the original record rather than stopping when you find an index or a transcription.
Use your knowledge as a researcher to decide whether the information in the source makes sense, and how far you can trust that source. If you have any doubts, don't add the information to your tree, but use it to form a hypothesis you can keep researching.

And by "exactly," I mean "theoretically," because:
With that caveat, figuring out Leo's theoretical heritage combo involves first determining Mom's and Dad's percentages. Three of my husband's grandparents came from Germany and one from Hungary, so we'll estimate him at 75 percent German and 25 percent Hungarian. I'll go back to my great-grandparents' origins: I'm half German, a quarter Lebanese (the source for my last name), and one-eighth each English and Irish.
I just divided each of our percentages, added up the common German heritage, and came up with these numbers for Leo (I generated the pie chart online using Kids Zone):
He's pretty typical as far as American ancestry: In the 2000 census, German was the heritage most often claimed by Americans and by his fellow Cincinnatians. He also shares in the second- and fourth-most-commonly reported ancestries: Irish and English, respectively.

And the grand prize winner is … Patricia Skubis! Her long-lost Danish relative Tage will travel to the United States so they can meet in person for the first time. Patricia also will receive a year-long VIP membership to Family Tree Magazine and a three-year Premium-Plus subscription with MyHeritage.com.
Patricia belongs to a Danish family that immigrated to the United States in 1888. Another branch had headed for Australia in 1873. Skubis made contact 27 years ago with Alison Rogers from the Australian branch, but they were unable to find a connection. Here's Patricia's account of how it finally happened (look for more details in an upcoming issue of Family Tree Magazine):
In March of 2011, a family in Denmark researching the Thygesen name posted information on MyHeritage and I received a Smart Match notice. I wasn't sure we had a match. The parents' names were the same but the children did not match. So I asked the submitter for more information. With the additional information I thought we did indeed have a match.
I went online to the Danish Church Records [on the Danish archives' website] and found Tyge Jørgensen's children between Neils Madsen Thygesen, born in 1794, and my great-great-grandfather Martin, born in 1805. What a great surprise I received when I found that the next son after Neils was Peder Andersen Thygesen, the great-great-grandfather of Alison Rogers.
Tage and I are fourth cousins once removed. Our great-great-grandfathers, along with Alison's, were brothers.
Each of our two runners-up will receive a digital subscription to Family Tree Magazine and a three-year Premium-plus subscription on MyHeritage.com. They are:
You can read the winners' full stories, as well as those of other entrants, in their comments on the MyHeritage.com Blog.
Thank you to everyone who entered this contest. Both our team at Family Tree Magazine and our contest partners MyHeritage.com were touched by your stories of reconnecting with family, and we're impressed by your diligent research. You're truly an inspiration to your fellow family historians!

Aliens: Colonial Marines Gets A Story Trailer
Want more Aliens: Colonial Marines goodies? Well, they won't be coming out of the gosh-darn walls, so you might as well check here for the new story trailer!
IGN has gotten its hands on a trailer that gives us a bit of background info about what we'll be jumping into when the game is released. It starts out with a video of Michael Biehn's character, Corporal Dwayne Hicks, telling anyone who finds the footage that his whole squad of ultimate badasses is to be considered KIA. If you've seen the movie Aliens, then you know that even sharp sticks weren't enough to save the marines. If you haven't seen it, then we're sorry for the massive spoilers we've dropped on you, but you should probably watch the movie anyway.
Check out the trailer below and prepare for the xenomorphic horror once Aliens: Colonial Marines comes out on February 12th, 2013.

American Hustle
A hilarious, sexy take on the ABSCAM political corruption sting of the 70's.
David O'Russell reunites 3 of his stars from last year's Oscar-winner "Silver Linings Playbook" to revel in the 70's glory of big hair, great music and crazy fashion in one of the most entertaining movies this year, "American Hustle". Jennifer Lawrence could easily win her 2nd best supporting actress Oscar after stealing every scene she's in . This is no small fete , co-starring with an unrecognizable Christian Bale (who gained 40 pounds), Amy Adams (who bares more cleavage than J.Lo in her P.Diddy days), Robert De Niro (who finally delivers scary-mobster in a small role) , Jeremy Renner (as a good-hearted-good-deeding mayor the city of Camden, New Jersey wishes it ever had in real life) , and a manic, permed Bradley Cooper as an ambitious FBI agent.
The movie will have you laughing from the first scene, with the paunchy Bale gluing on a toupee comb-over that's worse than Donald Trump's do. Bale is con artist Irving Rosenfeld . His partner in crime and bed is the gorgeous ex-stripper and even smarter Amy Adams as Sydney. When they're nailed by an FBI agent, their only way out of prison is to entrap New Jersey politicians. Their twisty game will have you guessing til the end .
This one's filled with style: from the hair to the clothes to the wonderful soundtrack. It's spot-on as a period piece. The cast gives top-notch performances . What a year for Jennifer Lawrence. She's the action hero of the year with the second installment of "The Hunger Games" and is wickedly funny in a movie that will have her competing against herself at the box office this weekend.
THIS is sheer entertainment. And unlike most Oscar baiters, it'll make you laugh, not cry.

With the 75th running of the Grade 1, $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap on tap this Saturday, HRTV (R) will present two special programs on Thursday,
highlighting a pair of memorable runnings of the 'Big Cap.
The first hour show, set for 9 p.m. ET, will be a re-broadcast of the 1982 running of the 'Big Cap, which featured much-talked-about disqualification
of Perrault, resulting in the legendary John Henry being placed first. The On-TV broadcast, which included training great D. Wayne Lukas providing
commentary, will be shown in its entirety.
Following that show (at 10 p.m. ET), HRTV will offer an "encore" presentation of its Big 'Cap coverage from last March that featured another extraordinary finish. With jockey Chantal Sutherland aboard, Game On Dude survived a stretch battle, and lengthy inquiry, to defeat Setsuko by a nose. (Sutherland became the first female jockey to win the Big 'Cap.)
Adding to the intrigue, both Game On Dude and Setsuko are expected to be in Saturday's field.

whilst I guess it is more MMA on TV you do have to wait a week to watch. I much prefer to watch shows that stream events than wait a week to watch something that I already know the results of. Unless I have specific interest in any of the fights/fighters. It is a step up form The Active Channel etc I guess but just that I want everything! ;-)
Not sure what sort of numbers that channel does?
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
which Chris says they are, as well as some coverage in the mag, then it's a good move and gets more eyeballs on the product. Associating with the name and the same target demographic can't do any harm.
The week they had Maloney's boxing on (Skelton vs. McDermott) it had a reach of 311,000, so that spike obviously shows there was some interest in combat sports on the channel.
Nice. Really enjoy getting to watch quality UK MMA shows on tv.
sweet, 1 more to add to to the sky box!!

Brevard, N.C. - Brevard College's Men's and Women's Golf Coach David Nelson is pleased to announce the hiring of Parker Reeves as the Assistant Golf Coach for the spring 2012 golf season.
"I'm absolutely delighted Parker has decided to join our coaching staff. As a teaching professional, he will enhance our ability to develop players within the program. He understands the golf swing, and more importantly loves teaching. From a recruiting standpoint, his participation will only make our programs that much more attractive," said Nelson. "We already offer great courses to play in the region, an excellent tournament schedule, and a campus located in the one of the most beautiful settings in the country. Our ability to attract student-athletes from all over the county, and abroad, just got better."
Reeves comes to Brevard from Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio, where he served as the Assistant Golf Professional. Among his duties at Scioto included scheduling and teaching golf lessons, managing the junior interclub program and supervising and overseeing weekly junior play days. He also co-supervised the summer junior golf camp and part of his daily responsibilities included monitoring and maintaining pace of play and keeping a daily round count.
"I would like to thank Coach Nelson as well as Mr. Mascaro for allowing me this wonderful opportunity. I appreciate their faith in me to help our kids grow not only as players, but as human beings," commented Reeves. "It feels great to be a part of the Brevard College family. Brevard's combination of academics and athletics is quickly becoming known throughout the area and the campus is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I am very excited to be a part of the Tornado Golf Program and I can't wait to see what the future has in store."

"I have been fortunate to work with some of the top teachers in the game of golf. From Mike Adams and Don Sargent, to Bob Ford and Eric Johnson, I have been very lucky to watch and learn the art of teaching someone how to play golf rather than teaching someone about golf," said Reeves. "I hope to use the knowledge I have learned over the years from these teachers as well as the PGA of America to help the program continue to grow and improve. While golf is what our teams are most known for, I hope that success in the classroom and in the community will be a focal point for all of our players. There are many things bigger than the game and I hope to help our players keep golf in the proper perspective."
