Student Life
Intercollegiate athletics are viewed by the faculty, coaches, and administration as a vital element in the total life and educational mission of Moravian College. The intercollegiate athletics program is structured and administered with the College's liberal arts tradition and purpose always in view.
Moravian College, as an NCAA Division III institution, places the highest priority on the overall quality of the educational and athletic experience. It seeks to integrate the objectives and programs in athletics with the academic and student developmental objectives of the College. The Greyhounds compete in the Centennial Conference for football, in the Empire Eight for men's golf, and in the Landmark Conference for all other sports.
The College and the Athletics Department are committed to providing a multi-sport intercollegiate athletics program for men and women. Representing the College in its intercollegiate athletics program is a privilege and must be earned by rigorous commitment and dedicated performance. The goal of all student-athletes should be excellence in academic as well as athletic endeavors.
Moravian College sponsors 20 intercollegiate athletics programs. Men's teams compete at the varsity level in baseball, basketball, cross-country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, and track and field (indoor and outdoor). Women's teams compete in basketball, cross-country, field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field (indoor and outdoor), and volleyball. The Moravian College Dance Company and Cheerleading are also part of the athletics program. The intramural program includes basketball, softball, volleyball, flag football, touch football, tennis, bowling, golf, and floor hockey.
The College offers a variety of club sports, open to all students for friendly competition. Some clubs have existed for a long time; others change from year to year, depending on student interest and demand. They have included ice hockey, men's volleyball, men's wrestling, and women's golf. Club sports are organized, operated, and managed by students, so opportunities exist to begin new ones each year. Club sports can also compete at a high level. As an example, the Equestrian Club, organized in 2003, competes on the college and university riding circuit and in the intercollegiate equestrian national championship.
Athletics and intramurals are scheduled year-round in Johnston Hall, Breidegam Field House, Steel Field, Betty Prince Field, and other playing areas. The Steel Field Athletics Complex includes the grandstand building, the Rocco Calvo Field for football, the Olympic all-weather NCAA-competition Breidegam Track, Gillespie Baseball Field, Hoffman Tennis Courts, the Blue and Grey softball field, and a field house. The HUB Field serves as the home site for men's and women's soccer and as an intramural and recreation area. Breidegam Field House is also the location of our 10,000 square foot, state-of-the-art Fitness Center and our 3,300 square foot Performance Center.

Fox Lets Mitch McConnell Off The Hook For Blocking Jobs Bill
Fox News covered up GOP obstructionism on jobs creation, letting Senator Mitch McConnell falsely claim that Congress has passed "most" of President Obama's jobs bill.
McConnell appeared on Fox to respond after President Obama appeared at a Friday press conference and urged Congress to pass a jobs bill he has been promoting since September. That proposal [1] included $35 billion for teacher rehiring and first responders, along with $105 billion to fix roads and schools, make long-term investments in the nation's infrastructure and to improve vacant or abandoned properties to revitalize communities. Economist Mark Zandi estimated [2] that the bill would have created 2 million jobs and boosted economic growth by 2 percent.
In pressing Congress to pass the jobs bill, Obama specifically noted [3]: "If Congress had passed it in full, we'd be on track to have a million more Americans working this year. The unemployment rate would be lower. Our economy would be stronger." Fox turned to Mitch McConnell, the top Senate Republican, to respond, allowing McConnell to argue, "we passed most of what he asked us to pass last fall, and some of the rest of it is about to pass."
Anchor Jon Scott, hosting one of Fox's so-called news shows, made no effort to have McConnell explain what it means to pass "most" of a jobs bill, thereby letting McConnell off the hook for the GOP's efforts to block the bill.
In November, Senate Republicans, led by McConnell, filibustered the bill preventing it from becoming law. CBS News reported [4] at the time:
Senate Republicans blocked President Obama's $447 billion jobs package on Tuesday, putting the brakes on a bill Mr. Obama has been vigorously promoting over the past month.
Fox viewers were left with the impression that that filibuster never happened.

Kynard Leaps World Leading Mark
Kynard Leaps World Leading Mark
April 21, 2013
Post-Meet Notes
Results: Kansas Relays Complete Results | Mt. SAC Relays | Beach Invitational | Clay Invitational
WALNUT, Calif. – A busy weekend of track and field action came to a close late Saturday for the Kansas State Wildcats with three meets on the schedule at some highly competitive events and one Wildcat put his name on top of the world rankings.
Senior high jumper Erik Kynard was up against some of the best jumpers in the world at the Mt. SAC Relays with a total of four Olympians from the 2012 London Olympic Games in the field. Kynard went toe-to-toe with 2011 IAAF World Champion Jesse Williams and Canada's Michael Mason as all three cleared 2.31 meters (7-07.00), but it was only Kynard who could leap over the bar at 2.34 meters (7-08.00) to set a new Mt. SAC Relays record while tying his own school record. The jump is the best in the world this season outdoors.
"Erik jumped well. I think this was one of his best meets ever," said K-State Head Coach Cliff Rovelto. "We had a lot of solid marks today at both the meets we competed at in California. Probably, the most impressive was the men's 4x400. All four guys ran really well."
The Wildcats saw the team of Ifeanyi Otuonye, Carlos Rodriguez, Jay-J Parks and Chris Campbell finish fourth behind a team from Japan, Western Kentucky and Big 12 foe Texas Tech. K-State crossed the line in 3:06.64, just .21 behind Texas Tech. The time also ranks third in school history.
K-State did have strong marks in all its events at the Mt. SAC Relays with Rodriguez running 10.49 in a special 100 meters invitational. Freshman Jasmine Gibbs ran 11.54 seconds in an invitational 100 meters as well to shave just a bit off her personal record and still stand at second in school history.
The women's group of Samantha McKnight, Richelle Farley, Ashley Williams and Tia Gamble ran to a third-place finish in the 4x100 relay in 45.53 seconds and the men had a team finish sixth.
At the Beach Invitational, hosted by Long Beach State, K-State also saw strong marks, especially from the distance runners. Fernando Roman became the seventh running in K-State history to crack the nine-minute mark in the 3,000 meter steeplechase. He crossed the line in 8:59.86 to finish fourth. He shaved nearly eight seconds off his fastest previous time set at the Big 12 Championship last year.
Sophomore Erika Schiller ran a new PR in the 1,500 meters at the Beach Invitational and Martina Tresch ran to an eighth-place finish in an elite invitational of the 1,500 meters against some very strong runners.
Two hurdlers ran well at the Beach Invitational as well with Tarique Hill running a new PR of 14.06 seconds to post a K-State victory and move into ninth in school history. Angela Hart ran her fastest time the 400 meter hurdles as she finished in 1:01.05 to move into ninth in school history as well.
K-State's third meet on Saturday was the Kansas Relays with a small group of throwers leading the way.
Senior Jessica Carter was the top Wildcat in the women's discus with a throw of 50.37 meters (165-03) for her best mark of the season and coming up just short of her personal record. Jacquelyne Leffeler was close behind in sixth place with redshirt freshman Dani Winters in 10th. On the men's side, Ryan Hershberger finished 11th.
Ryan Hershner was the only Wildcat running on Saturday at the Kansas Relays and he put together his best performance of the season as well. He crossed the line in 3:55.51 in the 1,500 meters for his fastest time this year and just a step behind the winner, falling by about half a second. Senior Kyle Hanson was competing unattached at the Kansas Relays and finished third in the seeded 800 meters with a time of 1:51.01 for a new PR.
Also on Friday night in California, the Wildcats had a handful of sprinters compete at the Brian Clay Invitational hosted by Azusa Pacific. Williams ran a new PR in the 100 meters to finish second in 11.85 seconds while McKnight took sixth in 12.05 seconds. Williams would also finish sixth in the 200 meters. The men had a trio in the 200 meters led by sophomore Carlos Rodriguez with his time of 20.79 seconds in second place. Otuonye and Tyris Jefferson took seventh and eighth place, respectively.
K-State was not originally scheduled to compete at the Bryan Clay Invitational but was able to be entered after the cancellation of the Cal State L.A. Twilight Open on Friday.
The Wildcats have one more week of competition and practice before heading south to Waco, Texas, for the Big 12 Conference Championships hosted this year by

" Address: Weston Bldg / Sackville Street / City Center / Manchester / M13BB UK / Telephone: 44-161-9558400 "
We have stayed in this hotel on two occasions because it is not too far from the train station, but most importantly, it is close to the gay village in Manchester, infact you could almost fall out of the hotel to the village. Rooms are modern, but talk about a box, the size of the rooms are tiny. This was made even the more noticeable as it was a hot, muggy weekend and although a fan was supplied it had little effect and we were so hot and the windows hardly opened. Two females trying to get ready to go out in a room that small didn't help as we felt like we were on top of each other with hair dryers, hair straighteners. It is not local if you are looking at heading more towards Deansgate or the Printworks and I'd say only stay here if you are heading for Canal Street, or the Station. We didn't eat here so I can't comment on the food. Price wise, the rooms were good value for money, but probably not when it is over 20 degrees!
A couple of years ago my husband, Dave, and I had to find a hotel in Manchester to use as a base to be near my mom who had to go into Manchester Royal Infirmary for an operation, which never happened as she wasn't strong enough to survive the anaesthetic but that's another story.
As I had a lot of arrangements to make Dave decided to take over and find us a suitable hotel for the duration. He wanted to find something really nice but at a reasonable price as this was likely to be the nearest either of us would get to a holiday that year as I am full time carer to mom who has Vascular Dementia.
Anyway after much searching he finally found The Days Hotel at the end of Sackville Street nearest to the Mancunian Way and thus nearest to the Manchester Royal Infirmary.
*** The Booking ***
We decided to book a Work Zone Room which was a bit larger than the standard room and, of course, a bit more expensive. Dave wanted to have that little bit extra luxury so that it would be a stress free haven when we returned from hospital visiting. That was the idea anyway!
Dave did the actual booking by telephone so that he could explain our situation. The staff at the hotel agreed to allow us the dispensation of being able to cancel on the day we were due to arrive if mom's operation was postponed. Under normal
circumstances 'a no show or cancellation with less than 1 day prior notice to the date of arrival, an amount equivalent to 100% of the total booking value will be charged'. We were allowed to cancel up to 4pm on the day we were due to arrive. As it happens we didn't need to cancel as mom went into hospital as arranged.
In explaining the reason for our visit Dave also told them that the hotel would be very important to us as a place to unwind and relax during what would almost certainly be a stressful time.
Dave gave our credit card number to reserve the booking on the understanding that no money would be taken until we finally checked out after our stay.
*** The Price ***
The price for a Standard Room was £67 per night from Monday to Thursday and £45 per night on Friday to Sunday.
The price for a Work Zone Room was £85 per night from Monday to Thursday and £65 per night on Friday to Sunday.
I understand that the hotel also has a least one suite which of course would be more expensive still.
All the above rates are for the room only.
*** Pre First Impressions! ***
Our first visit to the hotel was about three weeks before the day we were due to book in. We did a trial run to Manchester Royal Infirmary just to make sure that we knew where we were going when we took mom for her operation, as we wanted to keep as calm as possible on the day. Whilst we were there we decided to check where the hotel was as well - as I pointed out to Dave, if it looked rough we still had time to cancel!
The hotel was surrounded by the University, which isn't difficult in Manchester as the University seems to be everywhere and they're building more of it too! There is a bit of a problem in finding exactly where the hotel is since the sign 'Days Inn' is very small and inconspicuous, but we managed.
We popped in to the hotel and had a word with the receptionist who was very helpful with information about getting to the hospital from the hotel and even gave us a bus timetable for the 147 which goes directly from the hotel to the hospital every ten minutes during the day.
*** Location ***
The address of the hotel is
Days Hotel, Weston Building, Sackville St, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 3BB
It is half a kilometer from Manchester Piccadilly Railway Station and 10 kilometers from Manchester Airport. It took us about ten minutes to walk into the centre of Manchester from the hotel.
It is about 20 minutes walk from Manchester Royal Infirmary!
Directions on how to find the hotel are on the active hotels website
***Check in ***
When we finally arrived at the hotel on the day we took mom to hospital check in was efficient and quick. We just had to sign the credit card form although, as I said before, no money would be taken form our account until we checked out at the end of our stay. We were asked if we would like a key each, which was very useful as Dave would be able to go to work in Macclesfield whilst we were here.
We received instructions on how to get to our room and were told we could park the car in the multi storey next to the hotel at a discounted rate. The top two floors are for the exclusive use of the hotel and are locked at night for extra security.
When you are ready to collect your car from the car park you just hand the parking ticket in to reception and they add the cost of parking to your bill less the hotel discount of course. We found that it was £10 to park overnight in the car park which was discounted to £9 for hotel guests.
*** The Room ***
We were in Work Zone Room number 318 on the front of the building and the first thing that we noticed as we walked in through the door was the heat!! It was the hottest week of the year so far but this room was REALLY hot. We immediately tried to open the window but it only tilted a few inches.
There was a large bed, two bedside tables, large work desk and chair, two telephones, a laptop safe, small occasional table, easy chair, television, iron and board, open hanging space with plenty of coat hangers, four large drawers and shelves. There was a tea tray with tea, coffee, sugar, hot chocolate and a bottle of water, although the chocolate and water were only there on the first day!
The bathroom was a decent size and was very clean. It had a toilet, bath with power shower over and a sink. There were bottles of liquid soap and bath / shower gel fixed to the walls and a box of tissues.
*** Other Facilities ***
The bookings are on a room only basis and breakfast is available for £9 per head in the restaurant. I can't comment on this as we didn't take advantage of this facility preferring to walk into Manchester (about 10 minutes walk) to get our breakfast.
Meals are also served in the bar at lunchtime and in the evening. The choice is quite limited but the food was very good and cooked to order. This meant a bit of a wait but you then get a good hot meal. The costs ranged from about £6 - £10 for a single course.
The bar is a reasonable size and opens out into a courtyard set in the centre of the building. It was lovely and airy with the doors wide open - I did suggest sleeping down there! When in the courtyard it looks as though only the front of the building is the hotel and the other three sides are student accommodation.
There are also a couple of conference rooms which were in use most of the time we were there.
There is wireless internet access in all the public areas and you can pay for a high speed internet access via a cable in your room. This ranges from £5 for a couple of hours to £12 per week and obviously the cable is provided!
The hotel also runs a same day laundry and dry cleaning service although having seen the price list it isn't something you would want to use much.
The reception is open 24 hours a day.
*** Our Experience ***
As I said earlier the room was extremely hot and we had difficulty sleeping the first night so we went to the local B & Q and bought a tall fan which we had to leave on all the time to get the room to a bearable temperature. My sister and her fiancé also came to stay at the hotel for a few days so that they could visit mom and support us. Even though their room was considerably cooler than ours it was equipped with a fan!
On the first day we had been out into Manchester and then to visit mom in hospital arriving back at the hotel at about 4.30pm and the room was exactly as we had left it in the morning - no one had bothered to service it! Dave rang reception to complain and they sent someone up who initially said that all we needed was some tea and coffee. I pointed out that the bed needed making, the tissues in the bathroom had run out and there was no toilet paper so maybe it needed a little more than tea and coffee! The room was then serviced to our satisfaction - for £85 per night I did not intend making my own bed, I do that enough at home!
On the following day we returned to the hotel at lunchtime and the room had not been serviced. Dave went down to reception and explained that we were having a tough time at the hospital and that the hotel room was our sanctuary and that for £85 per night we expected better service. We had found out that mom was too ill to have her operation and since she has dementia she was very agitated in hospital so I was VERY stressed.
On our penultimate day we were not left any tea or coffee and we only had one bath towel between us! Dave went down to reception to complain but we were not offered any of the missing items.
The best of it was that on the day that we checked out, not needing to vacate the room until 11am, they came to service the room at 8.45am!
We ate in the bar on quite a few occasions as it was handy and the food was good. With every meal, with the exception of the day that we had sandwiches, there was something missing. Three times it was the sauce which had been specifically mentioned on the menu and twice it was the fries. These were all provided as soon as we complained but that isn't really the point is it?
*** The Check Out ***
When Dave had gone down to the reception to complain about the lack of tea, coffee and towels he had been advised to fill in a customer questionnaire identifying all the problems that we had experienced. We filled in the form and let the staff on reception have sight of it before we checked out.
Our bill should have been three nights at £85 and three nights at £65. When Dave came to pay the manager reduced the price to £65 per night for all six nights thus reducing the bill by £60, which was acceptable to us.
We also noticed that our internet connection had been charged at £5 not at £12 as it should have been and that at least 2 of our car parking charges had not been added to our bill so in all we saved more like £80 - £90.
*** In Conclusion ***
To be fair, although the problems sound a lot, the room was a good size, comfortable (apart from the heat for which they couldn't be held responsible) and clean and the food was very good once you'd got it all! So as far as I am concerned this was OK in the end as the discount that we were given on check out was reasonable under the circumstances.
Mind you if we ever need to go to Manchester again I think well look for somewhere else to stay!

Been trying to make an anti-graffiti thread, for whatever reason it doesn't get approved.
Regardless of what I post I don't condone any illegal graffiti, although I stayed at a holiday inn once.
why would you want an antigraffiti thread in a graffiti forum? wtf would you do there exactly
^^this link makes your dick bigger^^
i already submitted it... but i want a production wall style tattoo on my leg done by writers with different styles and different influences from all areas of the globe... and i want my "design me a tattoo" thread approved
if its not gonna get approved just let me know so i can look elsewhere because there arent many good writers in my area so i figured a friendly community like this with writers from around the world would be a good place to get some designs... ill submit the words and the best entrys of each will live forever on my leg
please and thank you...
[with some minor editing this could make a great signature]
we should have a pumpkin carving contest.
total freestyle.
allready a thread^^^^
so yae super fag thread,
some one suggests a name (simple zen for example)
then we all disscuss fag or not, if enuff folks agree(they will hes a fag)
he gets edited onto the list on the first page
i think we should get a poll going on toy's sketches/bbook/throwups etc on weather or not they should go to the big boy thread. If they get enough "yes"'s in there then they'd be confident that they would get hated on too much in the big boy thread. If they get alot of "no"s then they should stay here.
the smack game
What you have to do in this game is you must "SMACK" the person that posted above you with anything you want, and you say it like this:
I SMACK <name of poster above you> with a <name of object>!!
It gets really fun once it starts getting silly
Sounds like it would get good, you'd have to start finding ones that haven't already been said as well, wonder how many minutes it would be before someone said penis
The best thing anyone can do style-wise on here is to leave.
probly zero
so, the super lame fags thread.
Would it be approved or what?
simple zen's a bitch
i def approve of teh super fag thread.....
bat man you should not be on your own list

LOUISVILLE, KY - The No. 15 Loyola University Maryland women's lacrosse team tied its best start in BIG EAST play with a 17-8 victory at Louisville Thursday afternoon. With the win, the Greyhounds improve to 8-3 overall and match last season's 4-0 start in league play.
Sophomore Marlee Paton led the attack with a career-high nine points on four goals and a personal-best five assists, while freshman Sydney Thomas also set a new career best of six points on two goals and a personal-best four assists.
Freshman Annie Thomas tied a career-high four goals and five points – all in the first half, while junior Joanna Dalton notched a personal-best four goals.
Juniors Kathleen Barranco and Joanna Dalton, in addition to freshman Julie Morse, rounded out the scoring with one goal each.
For Louisville (3-7, 1-2 BIG EAST), Nikki Boltja, Hillary Bushway and Eleni Kozas had two goals each, while Monica Negron and Amy Poteet both had one goal.
The game looked to be a defensive battle at the start as Louisville's Danielle Pawliw turned back Loyola's first two free position shots and senior Kellye Gallagher caused two turnovers to keep the Cardinals off the board, but three goals within one minute gave Loyola a 3-0 lead by the 23:32 mark.
Annie Thomas rolled the crease and stuck a shot into the top corner of the goal at 24:23 to get the scoring started. She tacked on a second goal – assisted by Sydney Thomas – at 23:59, before Dalton made it 3-0 for Loyola at 23:32.
Kozas scored at 22:05 for the Cardinal, before an 8-0 run gave the Greyhounds an 11-1 advantage with 6:45 to play in the half. Of the 14 shots Loyola took in the first half, 11 resulted in goals.
The Cardinal recorded the final goal of the half, bringing the score to 11-2 at the intermission.
Sydney Thomas got things going in the second half, sneaking a shot into the top of the goal at 27:23, before Paton assisted Dalton, Cursaro, Barranco and Dalton again, respectively, to give the Greyhounds a 16-2 lead with 13:52 to play. Barranco's goal at 17:10 marked her first of the season.
Louisville stopped the run at 12:15 and strung together a seven-goal run to bring the final score to 17-8.
Defensively, Gallagher led the way with five caused turnovers and four ground balls. Her first caused turnover of the game marked the 100th of her career, making her the third player in program history with 100 ground balls and 100 caused turnovers.
In addition, junior Ashley Moulton had a career-best game, scooping up a personal-best four ground balls, winning three draw controls and causing three turnovers.
Dalton finished the game with four draw controls, while freshman Molly Hulseman had three.
Loyola will return to action on Saturday, April 14 when it steps out of conference play and heads to Cornell for a 1 p.m. contest.

Sims helps Hillcats snap losing streak05/02/2014 10:45 PM ET
By Danny Wild / MiLB.com
Lucas Sims felt the pressure of a nine-game losing streak when he took the mound for Class A Advanced Lynchburg on Friday evening, And after a shaky second inning, he needed a little nudge.
"I wasn't really locked in, I wasn't where I needed to be in that inning," he said. "I was up in the zone. My pitching coach, Derrick Lewis, told me after that inning, 'You need to get locked in, get low in the zone.' That helped me out."
Sims, who said he was on a mission to avoid a big inning, took command and turned in one of his best starts of the young season, allowing one run over six innings for his second win as the Hillcats knocked off Salem, 7-2.
The Braves' top prospect struck out four while holding the Red Sox to four hits and a pair of walks in his sixth start. It was his best outing since he gave up one run on two hits over five frames on April 9 against Potomac.
"I came into my start knowing it's no secret we've been struggling pretty bad," said Sims, the Braves' 2013 Minor League Pitcher of the Year. "But it was important for me to compete and keep my team in the game and keep them off the board and give our team a chance to put some runs up."
The right-hander, who turns 20 on May 10, struck out Jon Roof to end a perfect first before allowing a run in the second as Reed Gragnani hit a one-out single and came home on Mario Martinez's double to center. Sims (2-3) pitched around an error, two steals and a walk in the third, avoided trouble after a leadoff single in the fourth and pitched a 1-2-3 fifth.
"Fastball in, I had too much of the plate and he got a single and it found a hole," Sims said of Gragnani's hit. "Next guy, I threw a little too much over the plate and he hit a double. It kind of started with my warmups, I kind of rushed it."
Salem tried to manufacture a run in the sixth on a walk, a single and a sacrifice, but Sims struck out Martinez and got Aneury Tavarez to foul out to end the threat and his night.
Selected 21st overall in the 2012 Draft, Sims said he's still working on what many may assume goes without saying: getting through warmup pitches before each inning. On Friday, he battled to stay focused.
"That was more of a concentration thing and I'm trying to learn every day," he said. "Even the little things, like warmup pitches, you can't take those things for granted. So I've learned from it."
Once his coach's instructions sunk in, things went a little more smoothly. The Hillcats did their part, scoring three times in the fourth before adding three in the sixth.
"I think the biggest thing was trying to eliminate the big inning, locking down with runners in scoring position, being able to execute quality pitches, not leave anything over the middle," Sims said. "I'm going after guys and making sure they don't have anything to hit. If they're going to hit anything, it's going to be my pitch."
The Georgia native said he's working on establishing more of his secondary pitches to complement a fastball that has helped him reach No. 56 overall on MLB.com's rankings of the Top 100 Prospects.
"I felt good about the start. Everything was kind of coming together, I'm getting a better feel for my breaking ball," he said. "It's not where I want it to be, but I'm locating my fastball better each outing. It's a process and I'm taking it in stride and learning from each one."
Sims didn't have to endure many lengthy losing streaks last year with Class A Rome -- he went 12-4 with a 2.62 ERA and 134 strikeouts over 116 2/3 innings in the South Atlantic League. Now, failure is another aspect of the game he's learning about.
"When you're on a streak like that, there's no groaning, we've got a really positive group," he said. "It's early in the season. It's early and it's a long season, so every team will got through something like that and, hopefully, today is a step in the right direction."
Sims had seen mixed results until Friday, surrendering at least three runs in four of his previous five outings. All of those starts had come against Frederick and Potomac.
"It's a little different, but I'm facing a lot of the same guys for the most part. I've thrown three starts against Potomac and two against Frederick, so you learn a lot about how to pitch to guys -- and there's a lot to be learn, even when you're not on the mound," he said. "I'm watching guys with more patience, they're going to hit mistakes a little more often and they're going to take pitches that are close and not out of the zone. It forces you to locate all your pitches."

Nottinghamshire batsman James Taylor shares his tips on how to resurrect an innings after an early collapse courtesy of All Out Cricket magazine.
You're walking to the wicket after a few early wickets have fallen. How do you go about recovering the situation?
I think the main thing is you've got to be proactive and think about how the bowler's trying to get you out. A lot is made of how to go about rebuilding an innings but I think it should come quite naturally and you don't need to do anything dramatically different to what you would normally do at the start of your innings: play your natural game and occupy the crease for as long as you can. That's the way I've always done it; as soon as I get to the crease I try to be proactive, whatever the situation, and play the way I usually would.
So temperament is as important as technique in making sure you don't let the situation get on top of you?
Yeah exactly, rather than thinking about the match situation I think you've almost got to break it down and focus on your own game and how you're personally going to survive; not what happened before you walked to the wicket.
Do you look to take the attack to the opposition to reclaim the ascendency?
To some extent, but it does depend on the pitch and what the bowlers are doing. As soon as it gets a bit stagnated and the runs dry up then it's going to make it even harder because if you do go 'bang, bang' and two quick wickets fall, then your team has gone nowhere. You've got to keep trying to make sure you wrestle that initiative back and get the momentum on your side. Once the opposition have got the momentum it's nearly always the case that wickets continue to fall.
When the bowlers are on top and you're struggling to find the boundary, how do you go about releasing the pressure?
I think every situation will be different and you've got to think of your main strengths and then you've got to think what length the bowler is going to be bowling and where you're most likely to be able to score off him. It's those low-risk options with a high reward that you need to focus on. You do have to adapt to the situation for each pitch and bowler you come up against but you can't really look too far from your own strengths.
Are there any instances of rebuilding an innings you're particularly proud of?
When I was at Leicestershire I came in when we were 3-3 against Loughborough Uni. Perhaps an innings against a university side isn't the best example but in some ways we were under even more pressure because we were expected to put in a good performance against them, being a professional county. I went on to get 237. Another time I got 200 against Middlesex, going in after a couple of early wickets, and put on a 300 partnership with our overseas player Andrew McDonald.
And in both those knocks you rescued the innings by playing quite aggressively rather than dropping anchor, didn't you?
Yeah, I did on those occasions. I play so many different types of innings because I think my main strength is being able to adapt to the situation. I have innings like those ones when I'm really fluent and score quickly and then innings where I have to graft really hard, either because I'm out of form and not striking the ball so well, the bowlers are on top and you've just got to battle through, or the pitch isn't ideal to score runs easily on.
Are you someone who seeks advice from the batsmen who have lost their wicket or is it up to you to interpret the pitch for yourself once you're out in the middle?
I think it's a bit of both. It's up to you to watch what's going on closely while you're up on the balcony; you've got to be proactive and see what's going on out there. As much as you can get advice from the guys batting with you, you've got to seek that information out for yourself and look at what the pitch and the bowlers are doing from your own point of view.
Does the fact that you're smaller than the average batsman mean some shots come more easily to you?
Obviously I've always been small, it's not anything new to me! But in terms of picking up length I think it is a bit easier for someone of my height. For example the pull and the cut shots; I can pull some bowler's good length balls that other people wouldn't be able to do. It's one of my main strengths, picking up length quicker than most.
On the flip side, are some shots more difficult for a smaller batsman? For instance, is it difficult to get on the front foot to a tall bowler pitching it back of a length?
It can be, but then I can often play that type of bowler more easily off the back foot than other batsmen. There are lots of pros and cons to being my size, but I'm pretty happy as I am!

On his talk show, Adnan Oktar mentioned the divisions between Muslims and stated that a spiritual leader needed to be chosen for these to be overcome. He stated that all problems can be resolved under the arbitration of someone who is reasonable, full of love and has no worldly greed.
Comments by Daniel Pipes, who said that Muslims living in Syria should be left to fight it out among themselves, regarding Mr. Oktar's statements were once again raised on the talk show on A9 TV. Mr. Oktar responded to Pipes as follows:
ADNAN OKTAR: I am not saying the opposition are all virtuous and the other side immoral. There is immorality on both sides. And both sides are partly in the right. But both sides are in a dead-end. Both sides are on the wrong path. I do not support any side. He has misunderstood that. That is not the case. Either I could not explain or he did not understand. I know the opposition consists of radicals. One can see that from their language and methods and everything. I know the other side is also very cruel and brutal. I say the matter will be resolved with the system of the Mahdi, by right-thinking, sensible people coming together. What I say is that a rational leader, a loving leader, needs to be chosen to bring them all to the table on conditions of peace, love and friendship, to bring about agreement on the fine basis of science, art and democracy, to establish peace and improve the environment. I am not saying it will all be milk and honey if the opposition takes over. America has power, Turkey has power and Iran has power as well. They should choose a lenient, rational person, not a whole team. If you have a team then you get conflict. One person; a reasonable, loving person with no lust for worldly things. Reaching a fine agreement that everyone would be content with, under his arbitration. This is the whole matter.
Mr. Oktar also noted the importance of overcoming sectarian differences if the false image of Muslims is to be altered and that Muslims need to become better quality and more open to beauty. He then issued this call to world leaders:
ADNAN OKTAR: Above all, there is a need for a leader. That is the Mahdi. A spiritual leader above all and who will refute their words is needed. Muhyiddin ibn 'Arabi says, "When he (Hazrat Mahdi) comes, all will be null." Some Muslims indoctrinate crudeness, lovelessness and ruthlessness, day and night. In fact, that region is a lovely one, a holy land, with obvious wealth.
Muslims must be spotlessly clean. There are flowing rivers everywhere, there is abundant water everywhere, we have the means, and you must be clean and well-groomed. Some of them try to solve matters by destruction, killing and bombing.
Rational world leaders must come together and find a lenient leader. Let them find a popular leader who eliminates this coarseness, who draws people to beauty, who does away with sects, but not by force, by telling the truth, who speaks of love and friendship and compassion, who speaks of goodness and beauty, but who is in command and influential. And that is the Mahdi.
World leaders must come together for that purpose. Tayyip Erdoğan, Putin, Obama and all of them. Let them find a leader for the Muslim world. A loving and reasonable teacher of love, whom everyone will like, with no worldly greed, who governs from home, as revealed in the hadiths, who seeks no rank or position, a man of love, not a politician. Let him teach love to the world.
Leave politics to politicians. They can keep on working, but the world needs the coming of a Mahdi. And let them pray to Allah for the coming of Jesus the Messiah. "No one despairs of solace from Allah except for people who are unbelievers" says Allah. It would be very wrong to lose hope. There's nothing to lose. Let us have Islamic Union in full alliance with Christians.
The person they find must be transparent. Let him work hand in hand with Christians. Their phone conversations and discussions with him can be transparent if they are uneasy. Armaments must vanish from the world. Let us spend the money that goes on arms on food and cooking implements. Let us have fun and travel...
There is no need for terror, and this aspect of terror is idolatry. That is an abnormal act and therefore we are criticizing it. Otherwise, if they were to say God is One, why would we name that to be idolatry? We want them to be corrected, we are not putting them aside and we are sure they will better themselves. We believe that our Shia as well as Sunni brothers will be making themselves right in Syria. Currently, their leaders and the administration, the style and belief system are distorted and they ravage each other. God is giving them troubles, and that can be seen clearly. This is a sign, a clear evidence.
We are not in support of either of the sides in Syria because of their brutality. We are inviting both parties to love and peace. But in doing this they would not listen to the words of a scholar, an intellectual or any individual. There is need for a superior power over them. That will be over all and this may be achieved only by the Mahdi [King Moshiach], and by the Jesus Messiah (pbuh).
America is sincere and kind in their attitude, Turkey is sincere and Iran is sincere. And there are wise people in Syria. They may choose a person and declare that this person is truly compassionate, merciful and he invites everyone to goodness. They should say, "Let us choose a Teacher of Love." This Teacher of Love is not a politician. He does not get involved in world politics. Politicians may get involved in this as it is their profession. But being a Teacher of Love is something else. They will select a Teacher of Love for the entire world. That person they will choose will be the Mahdi. They will select him as part of the destiny. They cannot choose any other person, and when that person is selected, I will be abiding by him. Because God will inspire that person in the hearts of people, all the world leaders will receive this inspiration from God and they will tell people to follow him. They should not fear that there could be a mistake and that there would be another, second person. They say what if they would follow a wrong person; there will be no such thing. What would that mean, acting outside the control of God, may God forbid. God will inspire you, and all the others like Obama, our Prime Minister, to Syria. And God is inspiring in the hearts of those people.
They will abide by the Mahdi and Mahdi will tell the ones in Syria that he wants to meet with his Shia brothers. "You perform your prayers meticulously, you have love of Allah and heed what is lawful and unlawful. And the Sunni are performing prayers meticulously, they heed what is lawful and unlawful and they have great love of Allah." What is their difference? There is no difference among them. Then, it is satan that has troubled both parties and led them to idolatry. Satan is misguiding them to ravage each other. When we take away that idolatry from them, and that trouble is cleaned, then they will become pure Muslims. This is the matter. There is nobody that we are casting aside, that is not possible. There is also no person we would like to see dead or toppled down. There is only the requirement of a Teacher guiding them to love. Everyone will take this person's word into account; this is what is needed.

At a glanceWhat: Redlands Chamber of Commerce Mud Run
When: March 23
Where: Northeast corner of Alabama Street and Palmetto Avenue
Cost: Registration starts at $42
Information: 909-793-2546, www.redlandsmudrun.com
You're in luck - The Redlands Chamber of Commerce's Mud Run has a new date - March 23 - and a new site.
Originally scheduled in October, organizers had one rather large obstacle to tackle - finding a site large enough for a 5K course and 1,500 to 2,000 participants.
The Mud Run is now planned at a giant dirt lot at the northeast corner of Alabama Street and Palmetto Avenue owned by McLane Co. Inc. The event will double as a family-friendly activity and fundraiser for the chamber, replacing the long-held television auction, "Redlands Chamber Live."
The 20-year long effort was pulled from the air by Time Warner Cable, which changed a company policy, said Kathie Thurston, the chamber's executive director.
Held the weekend before Thanksgiving, the live auction first started off as a six-hour broadcast, but grew to a 12-hour event over the course of two nights.
Looking for a new fundraising effort, Thurston and the chamber settled on the idea of a mud run after seeing the success of similar events in the Inland Empire.
But securing a site posed a problem, said Thurston.
"That was probably the most difficult task I've ever faced," she said. "Finding a significant lot of land that would have allowed us to hold the event (in October) was challenging, but we were able to do so finally. But unfortunately, the approval came at a later date and we weren't able to move forward with the Oct. 20th date."
Organizers had to make a decision - either reschedule the event or cancel it. They chose the latter.
Thurston said the committee taking on the project is "pumped" to continue with event planning, adding they are currently working on the layout of the 5K course and the design of T-shirts.
They are also in the process of finding vendors - from food to other goods - for the event as well, she said.
"Securing the land was huge, and now everyone is excited about (the run)," she said. "You should've seen the `victory' dance when it happened."
In addition to the 5K race - which will include "waves" every 30 minutes to help with participation flow - the event will also include a course for youngsters 12 and under and a few surprises, Thurston said.
"This is a family-friendly, fun kind of event," she said. "We're hoping to make a day out of it. But the reality is - we have dirt."

Weird Book Room
Bayou MedicineBy Dan Piepenbring
Given the ungodly humidity, today seems as good a day as any to peruse an 1858 volume whose full title is The Swamp Doctor's Adventures in the South-West; Containing the Whole of The Louisiana Swamp Doctor; Streaks Of Squatter Life; and Far-Western Scenes; in a Series Of Forty-Two Humorous Southern And Western Sketches, Descriptive Of Incidents And Character, by John Robb ("Madison Tensas, M.D." and "Solitaire") author of "Swallowing Oysters Alive, etc."
Oh, the glories of the public domain! Here's a sordid bit from a chapter called "The Mississippi Patent Plan for Pulling Teeth":
I had just finished the last volume of Wistar's Anatomy, well nigh coming to a period myself with weariness at the same time, and with feet well braced up on the mantel-piece, was lazily surveying the closed volume which lay on my lap, when a hurried step in the front gallery aroused me from the revery into which I was fast sinking.
Turning my head as the office door opened, my eyes fell on the well-developed proportions of a huge flatboatsman who entered the room wearing a countenance, the expression of which would seem to indicate that he had just gone into the vinegar manufacture with a fine promise of success.
"Do you pull teeth, young one?" said he to me.
"Yes, and noses too," replied I, fingering my slender moustache, highly indignant at the juvenile appellation, and bristling up by the side of the huge Kentuckian, till I looked as large as a thumb-lancet by the side of an amputating knife.

Stephenie Meyer, the author of the "Twilight" series and "The Host," was in Washington D.C. for approximately 19 hours this week promoting "The Host" film, which will premiere next month. A collection of scenes, observations and stray meditations marking the occasion:
1 • What must it feel like to be Stephenie Meyer? Today, people have driven multi-hour radii Buffalo, Richmond to be in her presence. They arrive at 8:45 p.m. the night before the Thursday book signing, and they sleep in pastel comforters outside the Politics & Prose bookstore in Northwest Washington to ensure admission. What must it feel like to be on the sponge end of that much devotion? How many pounds of worship can one human body withstand before collapsing under the fervent, pawing weight?
2 • Does it feel like an endless stream of sitting? Is that what it feels like to be her? She sits for a sneak-preview screening of "The Host" at the AMC Loews in Washington's Georgetown neighborhood, and the next morning she sits in a Ritz-Carlton hotel room undergoing a steady drip of journalists, and then she sits at the book signing at Politics & Prose, where attendees are limited to two autographs at a time, but then loop through the line again and again and again. "It's always interesting, the relationship between reader and writer," she says at the hotel. "I spend a year working on a novel and another year editing it. They spend one day reading it, and they're ready for more."
3 • At some point in the past five years, her hair got really good. Stunningly, shinily good. What is in her conditioner? Avocado? Also her skin. Up close and personal, it looks like the texture of semigloss paint.
4 • This new movie, "The Host." Is it good? It's about a woman named Melanie, one of the last "wild humans" in a future society in which most people's bodies have been taken over by an alien species. When Melanie also succumbs, she must fight for control over her own person and future. It stars Saoirse Ronan, with several achingly pretty boys two of whom have come to Washington with Meyer, and one of whom is Jeremy Irons' son. It's beautifully filmed, and infinitely more adult and more complex than any of the "Twilight" stories. At the screening, people want to talk about the "Twilight" stories.
Is she ever going to finish Midnight Sun, the "Twilight" companion novel that she abandoned after it was accidentally leaked to the public in 2008? Everrrr?
5 • Her fans are so pure. When she walks in a room, the fans go oh, you already know what they go. Everybody already knows what happens at a Stephenie Meyer appearance. The fans go "Eeee!" or "Squeee!" or "Bleeee!"; the fans burst into tears and explain their obsessive love for "Twilight." Sometimes a journalist who brags that he's too smart for "Twilight" (even though he's never read it) parachutes in to write a scene story about these women, and they open up their hopeful hearts because maybe this time he won't make them look crazy. He always makes them look crazy.
"I do a lot of deep breathing," Meyer says. This is how she adjusts to the decibel level of a public appearance. She's grown more used to it now. The public appearances used to make her nervous. She used to pep-talk herself: "I am going to live through this. Nobody is going to kill you today."
6 • Does she realize how polarizing she is? Does she realize that her fans' love for her work is equally balanced out by "This passionate hatred that it spawns?" she suggests, in the Georgetown hotel room. She laughs.
7 • Stephenie Meyer: "I don't really consider myself much of a writer. I consider myself a storyteller. ...I can definitely agree with the critics, because I see all the flaws" in the stories. She wakes up in the middle of the night, agonizing over the word choices that are too late to change. To her critics, "I just want to say, trust me, guys. I know."
Nobody ever assumes that Stephenie Meyer knows. There's a viciousness when her work is discussed in literary circles. A dismissive sneer, as though her books cannot be taken seriously simply because people enjoy reading them too much. An impulse to write rambling, blistering blog posts about her use of descriptive speech tags (She glowered).
She is a victim of a Madonna/Hack dichotomy. Her fans will always believe she can do no wrong. Her critics will always believe she can do no right. The truth must lie somewhere in between, but nobody wants to think seriously about Stephenie Meyer as a writer. It makes one feel indignant on her behalf.
8 • But then, why would we ever feel sorry for someone whose net worth has been estimated at $170 million?
9 • Really, will she ever write Midnight Sun?
10 • How is the future going to look at Stephenie Meyer? The future, which seems increasingly incapable of viewing entertainment as just entertainment. Everything must be allegorical. Everything must be about chastity (Eclipse?) or abortion (Breaking Dawn?). Every book must be dissected until there is nothing left, nothing but valiant, bullied speech tags.
11 • "There is a value in writing things that people just enjoy," she says. "I don't know what movie won the Oscar the year that 'Star Wars' came out, and I probably haven't seen it. But 'Star Wars' has affected culture around the world. There is power in the masses, and in joy for enjoyment's sake."
12 • Is Stephenie Meyer trying to tell us that her next paranormal romance will involve Ewoks?
13 • "We met in Falls Church, sleeping outside for a Jamie Campbell Bower thing," says Ava Rhodes. Jamie Campbell Bower plays a bad vampire in the "Twilight" series. Rhodes is at the signing with her friend Rachel Stone. She has tattoos around her wrist of all of the titles of all of Meyer's books. Her whole body is a story of tattoos. "My family is on my foot."
Since then, the pair has been to conferences and conventions around the country. Rhodes has vacationed in Forks, the two-lane town where the "Twilight" books are set.
This is how the future is going to look at Stephenie Meyer: as a spirit-guide travel agent. In the 1970s, people followed the Grateful Dead, and in the 1990s, they followed Phish, and in the 2010s, which we'll be calling "the teens," they formed communities by following around a Mormon mother of three, and by huddling in blankets in the cold.
Post 'Twilight'
"The Host," the film adaptation of Stehenie Meyer's sci-fi novel, is scheduled to open March 29 in Utah theaters.

Fox Adds Another Academic Honor
By SUU Strategic Communication
Related Links
CEDAR CITY, Utah, Jan. 4 - Southern Utah's Dylan Fox has added another academic honor to his resume as College Sports Journal has named him to its 2012 FCS All-Academic team. He has already been named an academic all-star by the NCAA's FCS Athletic Directors Association and to the CoSIDA All-District VIII academic squad.
Fox, a senior center from Cedar City, Utah (Cedar High School), was one of five offensive linemen, and the only center, named to the 42-player College Sports Journal squad. He carries a cumulative 3.69 grade point average in Economics.
Fox started all 11 games at center for the Thunderbirds this year and the last 22 games dating back to last season, including the first 10 of 2011 at fullback before moving to center for the final contest of the campaign. This past season he allowed just one sack and graded out at 96 percent while making his block at the second level 90 percent of the time for the SUU offense, which averaged 285.4 passing and 85.8 rushing yards per game in 2012.
The team was selected by a panel of FCS experts that include the co-owners of College Sports Journal, David Coulson and Chuck Burton. Specific input from FCS football conferences, conference and national all-academic teams and nominations, and other academic sources were also used in selection.

I was only in the hotel for one night, but the overall experience was good. I arranged for an airport pick up which was not there when I arrived due to the plane arriving some 15 minutes early. I arranged to take another taxi to the hotel as I was not able to contact the hotel to find out if the taxi was on its way. Being the last flight of the evening I was concerned about being stranded at that the airport. Notwithstandig that I have no control over the events - plabe arriving early, driver arriving late, the hotel insisted on charging me for the sending the driver to collect to me - a very pedantic attitude indeed.
location, staff let me check-in 4 hours earlier view from the window to a demolition side
The hotel was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. The staff was very courteous and helpful with arraigning taxi's and making my vacation there memorable. The breakfast each morning was fantastic. I will stay there again when I return.
i felt very safe while staying at the hotel. workers are nice to people nope
good location, nice staff, warm room, pleasant stay, worth to recommend
the staff was always willing and able to help. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Surroundings were comfortable and pleasant. Very short walk to city centre. would be hard pressed to find a complaint
Nice helpfull staff, good breakfast, bad is very comfortable, fast check-in Sound proofing of walls is not good at all. Accompanied with unlimited TV volume regulation (it is limited in most of the hotels) can be problem. If you touch the wall by hand you can feel the vibration. Water temperature in the shower is not stable. Luckily temperature does not jump heavily - you will not be burned but you almost 30% of your time in shower is busy with adjusting the temperature. (room #401) Check out took 10 minutes, and it was no queue, I was alone
This hotel is located in the center, service was good.
Everything. This is a truly spectacular facility in every respect possible...and at a really great price too. I am planning a return trip to Kharkiv and I will definitely be staying at the Aurora again. Nothing.
Located in the inner city but quiet backside room. Clean. Friendly people. English speaking. Transport from airport. Receipt not in English.

Real People Ad Campaigns - DNKY
There are two reasons I tune into Girls every Sunday. The first is the emotional gratification of having my erratic 20-something millennial lifestyle translated on television. The second is Shoshanna Shapiro, and her Pinterest-board-on-acid hairstyles. Forget Marnie's Kate Middleton worthy locks, Jessa's mermaid waves, and Hannah's post-breakdown pixie. It's all about side braids and high buns.
So by virtue of being 22, ridiculous, and lacking in common dignity, I decided to channel everyone's favorite fast-talker and copy her hairstyles. Why not? We're both second semester seniors alternating nights of freedom with days of academic focus. And in any case, I wanted to see if these looks I marvel over week after week actually were realistic and easy to recreate (spoiler alert: no and not at all.)
(And don't worry, I willingly put myself through this for the story. Truth be told I'm more of a Hannah with a Shoshanna in the rising.)

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is committed to increasing the number of individuals from underrepresented minority groups who have the training to pursue careers in genome and ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) research. Genome research offers tremendous challenges and opportunities for improving human health and ELSI research offers the chance to explore some of the most profound ethical, legal and social issues of our time. NHGRI wants the best minds to participate in this work. There are extraordinary career opportunities in genome and ELSI research that all should share in.
The very nature of genome and ELSI research demands including a diversity of points of view and scientific interests. A major emphasis of this research will be to investigate how DNA sequence variation affects phenotypic differences, especially differences in susceptibility to disease among various groups. The significant societal ramifications of this research will also need to be addressed. It is clearly desirable to have individuals involved who bring diverse perspectives to this research, including an interest in understanding diseases that disproportionately affect some populations. Genome research will affect all populations and thus all groups need to participate in setting the research agenda and examining the broader issues raised by it.
On April 16 - 17, 2001, the NHGRI convened a meeting to explore new and innovative ideas and models to increase the number of underrepresented minorities pursuing research careers in genomics and related sciences.
Growing out of this meeting and developing into mature programs in their own right have been a series of efforts at various academic and for-profit institutes across the country, all of which are geared to increasing the enrollment of unerderrepresented minorities in the life-sciences. Many of these programs offer exciting, state-of-the-art research opportunities for graduate students, undergraduates and pre-college students as well. These programs have produced valuable educational resources for pre-college teachers interested in teaching genomics and cell biology to younger students. There are also summer exchange programs designed to give students of all levels research experience at any of the different participating institutes.
The MAP Portal includes useful tools for program coordinators, descriptions of participating programs and programs that list possible research opportunities for interested students.

Sick days are for...
I know that sick days are for resting, but really 12-14 hours of sleep per day is quite enough for me. Daytime TV holds zero appeal to me so I spent the rest of my time baking, eating, reading Frankie, drinking tea and working on my cross stitch. For some reason, counting squares and arranging berries on muffin mix was strangely therapeutic to me.
What do you do on your sick days?

Wow, you're so active when you're sick hehe. These look absolutely delicious, wow! I'm just a lazy bum moping around the house or crashing on the couch when I'm sick.

Absolutely nothing--I pity myself in front of the television and tell the cat to pity me too.
Your muffins look delicious! I hope you feel better. =)

Glad you're feeling better... I almost got a cold last week from getting up too early and running around busy all day... I usually drink lots of elderflower tea, if you can get it in Australia do so, it really helps! (We haven't found it in the US yet, so we imported a big bag of tea from Germany. We're still amazed that the customs officers didn't arrest us for alleged drug trafficking...)

Poor you, that sucks so much! Frankie is a good distraction! I am lucky enogh to work from home so I don't really pick anything up from other people and rarely get sick.
When I do get sick I find that watching my favourite movies and knitting (or cross stich) are a good way to pass the time, the last time i was feeling unwell my best friend came over and made me pancakes!
Hope you are feeling better soon and you are no too bored! xx

Ooooh, so ambitious when you're sick! I'm in awe of your determination! Sickness calls for hot tea, with tons of honey, or coffee with tons of creamer... I never clean when I'm sick, so my house becomes a disaster area.... These days I just go about daily life- but much slower and begrudgingly, because the hubby is deployed. But when he's here, I definitely let him wait on me, which he so lovingly does.

Topic: Green light on surgery!
Hi all, I met with Dr. Michael Hart of Swedish Hospital today. He wants to go ahead and do surgery to resect the tumor. I'm not sure exactly when that will be yet, as he and Dr. Raish want me off chemo for a bit before they cut me open. They are probably going to take out half of the liver to make sure that they get all of the cancer. I guess I'm not going to any wine tasting parties any time soon!
I'll also be losing a few more body parts - gall bladder and bile ducts. Part of my intestine will be rerouted to drain the liver directly into the small intestines. This is a complicated surgery, and I'll probably be in the hospital for one-two weeks and off work 6-8 weeks. But thanks be to God, I can hope for a complete cure.
So my message to you all is - never give up hope! Six months ago I was given 3 weeks to live. I'm still alive, kicking, and in good health, looking forward to my new live as a cancer survivor.

I am trying to run it on a Toshiba Satellite L755D, 1.4 Gh Quad core, 4Gb ram 520Gb free on HDD, an Atheros AR9002WB-1ng wireless card. If you need any more info just let me know.
Any thoughts on what my problem may be? any and all insight will is appreciated.
