LA to play Fulton in AA first round
By Mac McLeod,
OCN Sports
Drawings for the TSSAA high school basketball tournaments were held Saturday morning in Murfreesboro and action will get underway Wednesday at the gym at MTSU.
Livingston Academy (29-4), the Region 4 champions, will face Fulton of Knoxville (25-4) Wednesday night at 8:45.
Fulton will bring a 16-game winning streak into the game while the Wildcats will carry a 20-game win streak into the contest.
According to LA coach Richard Melton, "Fulton is very athletic and very quick."
The Wildcats will counter with sharp shooting and strong defense. Chase Dunn will carry a 23.6 scoring average into the contest and Clint West will head a defense that has carried Livingston a long way this past season.
Inside, the Wildcats will rely on the two big men, Jeremy McLearran and Deven Ramsey while T.J. Smith will be counted on for his shooting and rebounding. Senior guard Todd Smith and Kendall Melton will tighten up the defense and Justin Poston will make the LA attack stronger when he comes off the bench.
Fulton has never won the state crown, but has been a runner-up three times since 1962. Livingston last went to the final eight in 1997 and lost in the semifinal round.
Austin East has three state championships and five runner-up trophies.
In other 2A action, Dyer County 31-1) will face off against CPA (31-3) Wednesday at 7 p.m. On Thursday, Austin East of Knoxville (30-2) will take on Mitchell of Memphis (23-8). That game will be played at 10:30 Thursday morning followed by Howard of Chattanooga (30-2) meeting Bolivar (28-4) at 12:15 p.m.
The winner of the Livingston-Fulton game will meet the winner of the Dyer/CPA contest Friday at 2 p.m. while the victor in the Austin East-Mitchell game will take on the winner of the Howard-Bolivar encounter at 5:15 p.m.
When it's all settled out, the two bracket winners will collide Saturday at a time to be announced for the state championship.

Livingston Baseball Coach Pat Swallows has always looked to postseason play as the true measure of a team's success. But with recent Wildcat teams bowing out of contention in first-round play-in games for the past two seasons, he recognizes that this year's youthful team has a considerable task ahead of them.
"I guess our number one goal this time is to try to get back into the district championship. We lost a lot of quality kids last year. We only have three seniors so we're fairly young again this year so we'll just have to step up and get better."
In order to accomplish this, Coach Swallows is focusing on the fundamentals. The first of these is solid defensive play.
"I think we're going to be okay. Again, you never know what a freshman or a sophomore is going to do until you get into the battle, but in practice we've done a pretty good job of that and so I honestly feel like defense is probably our number two thing behind our pitching as our strengths."
Coach Swallows predicts that this pitching staff will give the team the opportunities it needs in order to improve on last year's finish. Toward that end, he has given them extra time to prepare for the season opener.
"We're actually throwing twelve kids, and they have been throwing since January and they're doing a really good job. I feel like for us to be successful they're going to have to carry us. I think and hope that pitching will be our strongest point."
On the offensive side of the ball, those solid fundamentals once again come into focus.
"We're not going to have a lot of power," Coach Swallows said. "We have a little but not much. But basically we're going to be a single-double kind of a team. We're going to try to move the runners over, bunt, do some things like that to score runs."
Despite these good reports, Coach Swallows does anticipate one significant obstacle standing between the Wildcats and a possible 2008 tournament run: inexperience. With only three seniors in the mix, nearly half of his starting lineup will consist of underclassmen.
However, Coach Swallows does anticipate getting the most out of what little experience he has at his disposal.
"We look at seniors to be leaders, to help us in preparing the team."
These seniors, along with the rest of the 2008 team, were set to meet their first test on Monday, March 10 as they hosted Monterey, followed by another home game versus White County the following afternoon. A match against Red Boiling Springs will round out their homestand on Thursday, March 13.
The Wildcats then hit the road for the Oak Ridge Tournament on Friday, March 14, followed by a Monday matchup at Gordonsville.
Veterans lead LA Wildcat Soccer into 2008 season
By Kevin Burmeister,
OCN Sports
When the ball dropped at midfield for Monday's season-opener at White County, the 2008 Wildcat soccer team began its defense of last year's district championship. But head coach Ethan King does not want to stop there.
"We should at least advance to the regional championship, and from there go on to qualify for state," Coach King said.
Based on the 2008 crop, Coach King is well-equipped for such a task. His starting lineup features seven seniors, with another three in reserve. With this lion's share of experience on their side, the Wildcats look to gel over the course of the year and manufacture success.
"We're loaded with seniors," Coach King said. "They know what to do; it's just a matter of whether or not we can work together and do well. So we've got that advantage of guys who have been there and done that."
In addition to their age, this year's team will also be equipped with considerable speed. With this in mind, Coach King hopes his Cats will not only out-think the competition, but also outpace them.
"Usually we're pretty much a ball control team and we can hold the ball, but this year we have the speed to run. So it will be a little more exciting to watch," he said.
Although the speed of this year's team will cause opponents a good deal of panting, Livingston must overcome fatigue in their own right. A lack of depth on the bench is one of Coach King's main concerns for this year's team, but he still expects these younger members to come out and play.
"We're getting them used to going at game speed more," Coach King said.
"We're trying to develop them to fill in time for this year and also for next year when they have to take the reigns."
Coach King described his team's style of offense with two words: pretty aggressive. With veteran strikers B.J. Byers and Eric Gunnels taking the field up front, the LA offense hopes to keep opposing defense units on their heels. In addition to this pair, Coach King's offensive threat will be bolstered by other midfielders who have demonstrated their quickness this offseason.
"We've lost two starters on defense from last year, but the good news is that we have David Brady, our goalie, who is returning, and Patrick Letner (Jr.), who's our center fullback is returning (and Josh Hewitt). With them anchoring and getting the other guys to step in and learn, they'll do well."
One other name stands out on the Livingston roster: Greg Walker.
"He's developed more between seasons than probably anybody I've seen," Coach King said. "I think this might be his breakout year."
Walker, along with the rest of the Wildcat squad, plunged into regular season play on Monday, March 10, facing White County on the road.
Playing as visitors will be business as usual for this year's squad, with the Wildcats' first eight games scheduled on the road.
The Cats round out the week with a weekend in the Bison Tournament, scheduled for March 14 and 15.

Lady Wildcats ready for 2008 softball season
Members of the 2008 Lady Wildcats softball team are, kneeling from left, Breanna Bilbrey, Katie Collins, Julia Carwile, Taylor Ledbetter, Jenna Smith, Dara Smith, Becca Savage, Shelby Taylor, standing, Katelyn Webb, Mallory Mahaney, Samantha Maya, Brittney Cantrell, Liz Hall, Sarah Neff, Abby Jolley, Morgan Burke, Kendria Kilgore, and Chelsea Carr.

While the round ball is still continuing for another week, the small, white, "soft ball" is just beginning another season as the Lady Wildcats prepared for the season opener with Clay County on Monday, March 10.
After an exciting finish in the 2007 district tournament, it seemed the team had just started to jell when the season came to a close. The big question is pitching for this season, as the Lady Wildcats lost both starting rotation pitchers from last season, and there will be big shoes to fill.
Coach Elizabeth Maxwell said, "We have to replace some pitchers for the year, but luckily we have Abby Jolley returning, as well as Kaitlyn Webb and Katie Collins as freshmen who will also pitch. All three of them are doing a great job in practice and did a great job in our scrimmage against Pickett County on Thursday.
"Having three pitchers in our rotation will be of value, especially in tournaments when you have a lot of games back to back."
The Lady Wildcats return a strong hitting line up as last year's season was led by Chelsea Carr, Kendria Kilgore, Liz Hall, and Sarah Neff with all four batting above .425 for the season.
"Although we haven't been able to get on the field much due to the weather, we have been working very hard in the gym and also with our hitting," Coach Maxwell stated.
With the meat of the batting lineup returning and with some added speed in the line up, LA should be capable of pushing some runs across the plate.
The 2007 district was very strong last year with exceptional pitching from District Champion DeKalb County as well as the runner-up team, York Institute.
"DeKalb County is always a force in our district," Coach Maxwell stated. "He has been coaching for the Lady Tigers forever it seems, and was even their coach when I played.
"York graduated their starting pitcher, so we will see what happens there.
"Our girls have been working hard. The pre-season they went through this year is the toughest the softball team has had in a while. This is such a fun group too. They have worked so hard and yet we have had so much fun while doing it.
"We are excited and anxious for the year to begin."
The season opener was set for Monday, March 10 as the Lady Wildcats traveled to Clay County to take on the Lady Bulldogs. They will travel to Cannon County on Thursday, and end the week with a two-day tournament in Henderson.
Livingston will open up in the first home game of the 2008 season with Stone Memorial on Monday, March 17 at 5 p.m. with a junior varsity game to follow.

WAM March 17-18 Dana Cox
Almost two years ago, Dana Cox, the young mother of three children, discovered she had developed breast cancer.
Much of the story that follows is one familiar to us - denial, rage, treatment, change in lifestyle, concerns about family, more treatment, and tests tests tests.
That's Dana's story, too. But Dana did something the rest of us might not have thought to do. She wrote a song about it, No Time For You. And the song has become quite a story.

I was just put on Zyprexa 5mg in the morn...and then 5mg at night for 1 week then 2nd week 5mg morning and 10mg at night and if 10mgs makes me to sleepy then I can go down 5mgs and klonopin 1mg 3 times a day as needed....I just took my first 5mg pill so I am not sure what to expect....and worried at the same time. I want to feel better but I have to admit the highs and better than the lows and I don't want to be zombie'd out. Any feed back would be much appreciated....also I only weigh 108 and she said I need to be careful with my diet and calorie intake.

Hi Peachlove,
Zyprexa has a great reputation for evening out mood swings. It's supposed to be really effective. However it also has a bad reputation for weight gain. Soooo, yeah, be aware of that and try to moderate that. You shouldn't be zombied out, though. If you are, call the doc, because that isn't right. You'd be on the wrong dosage of something.
Hope that helps,

I am so glad you asked this question because, I was just put on this medication to day 5mg in morning and 20mg at night. I feel the same way you do about
being zombied out or overly tired and I would much rather be high then low! I just took my first dose and am woried because I also just started Geodon and that is an appitite supresent and with what Serafena stated I hope that the Geodon dosen't stop the low appitite. Please let me know how you are doing and I will keep you updated on how it is working out for me.

My wife's been on Zyprexa for many years. It does make her sleepy (very) and it does contribute to weight gain, but it does work pretty well.

I know that everyone responds to medications differently but I have heard more positive than negative about
After trying Seroquel and Abilify, my husband was given Zyprexa and really liked it. Right now he takes it only at night and only when he needs to "take the edge off." He's also on lithium which he has (finally!) been 100% compliant with for the past 2-1/2 months. His pdoc is okay with him taking the Zyprexa occassionaly as he responds much better to the lithium to stabilize his mania. The Zyprexa helps him relax and then sleep - which as we all know is very important with BP.
I too have heard about
the weight gain but as your doctor said, you just need to watch your diet. Then again, don't we all need to watch our diets? :)
Let us know how it goes.

HI there,
Lithium can also cause considerable weight gain in some and it is not necessarily diet related, it is to do with fluid retention casued by Lithium, so you have double whammy taking Zyprexa too , but if it helps to stabilize the mood successfully and allows someone to feel happy and normal or more level and actually functional then its worth the extra wieght gain, though not desirable. No point being thin and miserable or seriously depressed or manic and destroying your life or making everyone else deeply unhappy with very unplesant dysphoric manif or hypomanic aggressive/ abusive or reckless behaviour
s or ruining relationships. Its a compromise. Regular exercise can certainly help to minimise some of the additional weight gained by the Lithium and Zyprexa and careful attention to dietary intake. IT shard work but worth the effort. Good luck. DElighted the combination of meds is working for him at long last.
I wish my partner would consider trying Lithium again. He was taken off it years ago as it is not always considered so helpful in frequent rapid cycling, apparently, though some more recent research disputes tese findingss now and says it can be just as effective but probably needs a farly high does or to be combined with another stabilizer such as Depakote or Sodium Valproate, and possibly even the addition of an atypical antipsychotic. I sincerely wish he could find something that would work as this illness is wrecking our relationship and happiness and getting in the way of any normal life together.He was transferred onto DEpakote but on far too low a dosage. Since then it has benn increased from 750mg Depakote to 2000mg Depakote, but he still sufferred very much with depressions. Every time he was given any type of antidepressant with it, he rapidlu became very hypomanic, verging on manic and these episodes lasted fir many many months, sometime 3-4. Once off the anti Ds he was no as hpomnic, but became very depressed with shorrter periods of breakthrough hypomanias, and that woulfd be followed by wekks of Mixed moods, in which although he had an underrlying depressive mood, the hypomanic mix tended to predominate and was most unplesant. For a few months he was also given Seroquel which apperaed to hep restore more rational thinking and reduce hostility but it was never given apparently in a sufficient dosage ( Only 150mg- 300mg maximum ) to be in any effective at aborting an existing hypomanic epiosde or at preventing a worse hypomanic episode eventually, during wich he stopped it al together and never resumed it until this year whe I encouraged him to take it again as he had so much agitation and had just come out ofa 5 month mania/ hypomania which was so destructive and distressing, and I believe was triggered by the addition of Lamotrigine. IN the past 3 years it appears all of his highs have been brought on by reintroducing lamotrigine or after every increase above 50mg. WE have had the worst 3 years of cycling with very long epiosdes of maainly hypomania with shorter months of Depression, when he usully agrees to renain off Lamotrigine as at that point when he comes back down he realizes the Lamotrigine has beencausing him to temain far too high andhe is highly aggressive, dismissive, severs our relationship, threatend all manner of poilce interventions when I contact his mental health team or family to let them know he is unwell, as he believes himself to be very well when high but clearly by his activities is far from that. I KNowe I have to inform them but this angers him even more, though I would point out he uses this as as justification or to rational his aggressive behviour. It is not infact the cause of his anger, because his hostility started out of the blue without us falling out and preceded me communicating with anyone about
his need for help. He has no insight right from the start of a hypomanic epiosde. His judgement is lost very early on and remains lost throught the whole episode.
He is hypersexual, contacting people on inappropriae websites, indiscriminately socializing, aleays wanting to take off somewhere abroad or staright up to London, starts drinking more, taking lots of diet coke loaded on caffeine, starting all sorts of risky financial and business ventures though has no money to fund them.
The problem is when he sees his mental health team ,if they can engage with him ,which is difficult when he is high as he believes there is no problem and wil not turn up to appointments, they do not always spot his symptoms as he can be so articulate and plausible about
his poerceived wellness nad ofcourse he does not describe anything of the activities I know he si doing oitside of thr consultation room, and he is not hostile to them as he is to me. It is very hard to get them to cahnge anything and they keep recommending Lamotrigine, so he says, though as I am not there I do not entirely believe this. I think it is he who wants to continue it. He will not allow me to come to the consuktaions. He used to in the past but never whe he is high, as he opposes my observations and knows I am likely to suggest he is taken off Anti Depressants in the past, as they always do whe high , or lamotrtigine in past 3 years in place of them which I can see quite clearly make him v ery aggressively high indeed.
I am at my wits end. He has just deserted me agin as soon as he became hypomanic, he was off and I was pushed away in very intimidating terms, though we had no fall out or uoset at al. He just seemed to change mood overnight whilst on his own for about
2 days but had not been high when he left my house to attend to something at his flat. I subsequently discovered about
10 days later as I suspected that he had recommenced lamotrigine once on his own, and Probably disbelieved it would make him high and tha he could hide it from me. I do understand he wants to take it ina desperate attempt to treat his depression swhich are awaful and I have rerpaetedly asked his team fir reassessment of his meds and to be offerred a suitabel alternative to lamotrinie to treat boith phases of the illness. lamotrigine is only effective as a fast elevating so called stabilizer to treat the depressive ohases of the illness, and it does wotk quickly which is why many people love it, however ,It is unlike all the other anticonvulsnat stabilizers in so much as it offers no protection agianst the manic phases, and I have confirmed this with the psychpharmacologist. IN effect it is more like an anti depressant, and is not a true stabilizer like Lithium and valoproate, and I believe ot should not be heralded as the new wonder drug for Bipolar. I would not touch Lamotrigine with a barge pole ! I has caused the worst and the longest and most destructive highs he has ever had, as bad as any antidepressant switching into mania or hypomania, but much longer epiosdes of damaging highky irritable, risky and agressive hostile hypomania with a total and unshakeable loss of insight.

Does anyone have any ideas re above or similar experience with lamotrigine triggering really long hypomanic eisodes. I think that the beneficail effects of lamotrigine are grossly over estimated due to the fact that a very high proportion of people experiencing Bipolar Disorder do not recognise or report their hugh symptoms or see the damage and distress it it causing to others as they wnat to maintin that high feeling, so I believe the research on lamotrigine is completely skewed by this failure to iudentify or report hypomanic effecst of this drugs. Pharamaceutical companies are makinga apacket out if it, far more than Lithium and it is being heralded as the wonder drug fir rapid cycling. As it offers absolutely no protection against the manic of hypomanic phases how can this be. It may stop people cycling down into depression, but it certainly prolongs hypomania whci codem psychiatrists come to believe is the normal character of the perso as it can last so long, but clients usually conceal or are un aware of all the other inappropriate stuff they are doing outside of the consultation room, so may come across as well when infact they are hypomanic to all those who actually know them well. A half an Hour consultaion can never give a true picture of hypomnia. Obviously Depression and Acute mania are harder to concela and easier to identify by the psychiatrist at least, if not the client, but moderate levels of hypomania which can be so dmaging just slip through the net and are grossly undertreated. Anynone lese find the same or have any suggestions of how to get the ental health teams oto see this. I have had to resort to sending 3rd party accounts or emails to show exactly what my partne is doing as he will never relay this to them and they are beieng mislead by his plausibility and confidence and articulacy during hypomanic phases. He can talk the talk , so never gets the adjustments of treatment he so needs.

I'm sorry to hear your partner's illness has taken over his life so completely. You are going through the hard part of being with a poorly maintaining bipolar partner. It's devastating. But in the end, it's important to remember that it's up to him to make the good choices. You can beg and plead and facilitate and try to help, but if he won't do the work, then there's little you can do. You can't feel guilty or take responsibility for his choices. He may be ill, but he still has them. We all do.
Try to remember that the medications affect everyone differently. I've been on lamotrigne for 6 years with nothing like the reactions your partner has had. It's been the drug that has made all the difference for me. BUT I have severely depressive symptoms with intermittent hypomanias. So it depends entirely on the person, not the drug. Maybe your partner needs a fresh outlook on his meds. Has he been with the same psych group for a number of years? Maybe it's time to try someone new, see if they have something fresh to say about
the meds. There are so many options out there, there's no reason to stay with the same 4 or 5 drugs if they aren't working.
As to getting him to appointments, well there's the rub, eh? He's got to decide to do that on his own. In the end, you've got to make it clear to him that staying healthy is crucial to your relationship. Are you prepared to do that?
Best wishes,

Review for Momentum BMW Mini-Body Shop
Richard W. on 01/10/2015
Richard said he was unhappy with the lack of communication at this business. They did not thoroughly communicate what they needed to do to complete the repairs. On the projected delivery date, they emailed him saying there would be a delay in receiving the vehicle, and that was fine. They said there was a delay because they were waiting for a part to come in, and they moved the projected delivery date out three days. He went to this business three days later because he had not heard from them, and his vehicle was supposed to be finished. When he got there, he found out that they were also waiting for another part to come in and it would not be there until the following week. This was very important because it changed the delivery date, and they did not notify him of this.

Job Search in 2017
As has become tradition on my blog, I'm sharing a great annual collection of job search articles put together by a colleague. From interviews, to resumes, to LinkedIn profiles, to personal branding. Take a look at these if you're going to be searching for a new job in 2017.

Leveraging LinkedIn Groups in Your Job Search
As discussed in the past on this blog, LinkedIn serves as one of the most important networking tools on the Web. It allows us to connect with all types of people for advice, insights on company activity, and of course, job search assistance. However, LinkedIn is not Facebook. There is a bit more protocol and professionalism required while interacting in this community. One way to keep things focused on work-related topics and also make a good impression is to interact with others within the thousands of LinkedIn Groups. My latest article for job-hunt.org shares some tips on how to approach this.

Are You a Scary Candidate?
When conducting a job search, your #1 Goal is to present yourself as an ideal candidate for as many job openings as possible. You always should present yourself in a positive way. Common sense, I know. So it is a bit shocking at times to see how many job seekers can do the opposite. Often they are not even aware it is happening and they may never find out. In my latest article for Job-Hunt.org (who just revamped their Web site by the way), I discuss several ways you can unintentionally scare off recruiters (and hiring managers/HR personnel) including:
- A Horrible Resume
- Job Hopping
- Ambivalence
- Bad Social Media Image
- Lack of Professionalism
- Personal Agendas
- Ignoring Advice or Not Following Directions
- Dishonesty

"Linking In" with Recruiters
A few years ago, I wrote about the important role LinkedIn plays in your job search and connecting you to recruiters and hiring managers. LinkedIn has changed its format a bit recently, but the message to you is still the same: be easily found by recruiters if you want them to connect with you on LinkedIn and share their job openings. Take a look at this latest article I wrote for Job-Hunt.org for my thoughts on the subject.

Are You Social Enough?
I was recently interviewed regarding Social Media/Job Search by U.S. News and World Report for the How To Make Money Now 2013 Edition. One observation I shared was on how differently job seekers view Social Media than non-job seekers.
An obvious fact, I know. But in today's economy, do you know when you might be starting a job search? It's usually a good idea to manage your Social Media profile before this happens. Certainly, you don't have to put the effort into overdrive until necessary, but establishing a professional presence early in the game is a good strategy. I have many other tips on this within the Social Media subject on this blog if you're looking for more advice on the topic.
Other tips you may need to think about are also included in the U.S. News article.

Networking Starts in Grade School
Every smart job seeker knows the value of networking to help the process along. Not every job seeker realizes their network has a life of its own. It can be what cinches the deal or sends you packing, too. My latest article for job-hunt.org has a story to illustrate this, and also pointers on "cleansing your network reputation." As always, if you have thoughts on the subject, share them within this post.

Tweet Your Way to a Sweet Job
Self Magazine interviewed me a little while ago for thoughts on Twitter and the Job Search. They picked the most salient point of our discussion and included it in the August 2012 article. My quote:
Keep your Tweets 80 percent positive, suggests Jeff Lipschultz, cofounder of recruiting firm A-List Solutions in Southlake, Texas. "You're allowed to complain about a bad restaurant experience or the terrible weather every once in a while, but hiring managers want someone who will enhance a company's culture," Lipschultz says. "Complainers don't."

A courageous move, a courageous album. With the death of vocalist Lee Brilleaux in April 1994, the story of Dr. Feelgood came to a grinding, heartbreaking halt. He had been the last surviving original member for more years than any other original member had been on board, an institution within an institution. How could the band even dream of continuing on without him? At first, they couldn't. But as the band's own authorized biography, Tony Moon's Down by the Jetty, points out that time is a great healer. So is the encouragement of friends, fans, and family. With final lineup stalwarts Kevin Morris and Steve Walwyn joined by '80s-era bassist Phil Mitchell and newcomer vocalist Pete Gage, the aptly titled On the Road Again came together around a clutch of songs which both echoed the past and looked forward to the future. Gage was an especially inspired choice, a lad with a larynx which was just as charred and charged as Brilleaux's, but which had a sleeveful of tricks of its own as well. With the Walwyn/Dave Bronze writing team reconvening behind the scenes, the new material on the album echoed all the hallmarks of latter-day Feelgoods -- and sometimes, it sounded as though nothing at all had changed. But of course it had and, of all this triumphant album's many achievements, perhaps the most admirable was its refusal to try and kid us otherwise. The name was the same, the sound was similar and the doctor was still on call. But songs like Fleetwood Mac's "The World Keeps on Turning" and Canned Heat's "On the Road Again" would never have made the old band's repertoire, just as the likes of "Styrofoam" and "Bony Moronie" could never be included in the new group's. On the Road Again was more than a revival. It was a complete reinvention -- and, though it seems hyperbolically hard to comprehend, it ensured that the new Feelgood were one of the best things to come out of the entire 1990s. ~Dave Thompson

I love red and white quilts. I know that red and white quilts have been popular for forever but I really don't know anything about the historical significance. What I do know is that I've loved pretty much every red and white quilt I've ever seen and hoped to someday make one for myself.
I'm happy to say that in September of 2016 I got close to accomplishing that goal. I did manage to make a red and white quilt, but instead of making it for myself, I gave it away to a friend.
My friend Linda had a bad accident this past summer and I thought a quilt was just the thing to cheer her up. Bright, cheery reds? Check! Simple pattern? Check! Non-wiggly quilting (Linda hates "wiggly" quilting)? Double check!!
I LOVE this quilt. I love simple squares and the checkerboard effect is just so satisfying. Also, I used up a great many number of my red prints. As sad as I was to see some of them go, I just knew they had to go in this quilt. It was time.
I was worried that some of the fabric would bleed, especially since I had issues on my last mostly white quilt AND the back for this quilt was also made out of red fabric. But, everything looked just fine.
To keep the contrast high, I choose only fabrics with little touches of white. But I just had to make an exception for my favorite kerchief girls. I look at this quilt and just feel happy, feel a sense of calm and accomplishment. I love how a simple quilt can do all that.

If you want to get started in programming and software design, just follow the hundreds of other students who have depended on Nino and Hosch's An Introduction to Programming and Object-Oriented Design Using Java. Assuming no previous programming experience, and only elementary algebra, the newest edition of this popular text teaches you the basic discipline needed to create substantial programming applications that can be understood, maintained, and modified.
Stressing design and the discipline needed for developing complex software systems, the authors take an "objects first" approach to programming and software design. Using Java as the vehicle, they show you how to model problems with sound software engineering principles and concepts. Step by step, with numerous examples and exercises,, they provide you with the practice you need to acquire real proficiency in the design and construction of software systems. By the time you are done, you will have developed the fundamental skills and a grasp of system design that will prove as useful in constructing large systems as in building small components.
Updates and enhancements that make the Third Edition the best yet include:

(Bloomberg) -- President Trump named a former assistant attorney general during the George W. Bush administration R. Alexander Acosta as his new nominee for labor secretary.
R. Alexander Acosta replaces Trump's first nominee for the position, Andy Puzder, who withdrew his name Wednesday amid controversy over his personal life and business background.
As chief of the Labor Department, Acosta would have to contend with a multitude of issues, which could include deciding the fate of the fiduciary rule. Trump recently asked the department to reexamine the regulation and possibly rescind it.
"He's intense, hardworking, but I think in contrast to Puzder, he's going to get things done more quietly," said Tammy McCutcheon, who served as administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the Labor Department during the Bush administration. "He will be quietly efficient. I don't think you'll see a lot of difference in his policy positions from Puzder."
Acosta, the first Hispanic Trump has chosen for his cabinet, met with the president Wednesday evening, a White House official said. He served as assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division under President George W. Bush, was U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida and is a former National Labor Relations Board member. He clerked for Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito when he was an Appeals Court judge.
Acosta is currently the dean of Florida International University and the chairman of U.S. Century Bank.
Puzder, a fast-food executive who had been scheduled for a Senate confirmation hearing Thursday, ran into trouble in the Senate over his admission that he employed an undocumented housekeeper. Also shadowing his nomination were divorce-court proceedings that included a domestic-abuse allegation. Some conservatives had questioned his pro-immigration stance.
In the 52-48 Senate, three Republican defections would have doomed Puzder if all 48 Democrats voted to deny him, and as many as a dozen GOP senators had indicated they wouldn't back the nomination.
Puzder is head of the fast-food conglomerate CKE Restaurants, which owns includes Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. His withdrawal came after a week that saw party-line confirmations in the Senate and a tie-breaking vote cast by Vice President Mike Pence to confirm Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. That 51-50 tally was the first time a vice president ever broke a tie on a cabinet nomination.
Trump has already lost one senior member of his administration: He dismissed Mike Flynn as national security adviser on Monday because the administration said he may have misled the president and vice president about his communications with a Russian envoy.

Megan Reid is a National Poverty Fellow at the University of Wisconsin's Institute for Research on Poverty, in residence at the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation in the Administration for Children and Families in Washington DC. As a National Poverty Fellow, she provides input and oversight to federal research and evaluation projects that examine policies and programs designed to support the economic and social well-being of low-income families, from proposal review to research design to final reports and recommendations. She currently works on projects that examine and/or evaluate marriage and fatherhood programs, incarcerated parent reentry, racial disparities in social service delivery, and the relationship between housing and family formation. She sought this position in order to gain firsthand experience in understanding the relationship between social science research and policy.
As a National Poverty Fellow, Megan also spends time working on her own on-going and new research projects that focus on families, social inequalities, and social policies. She is currently writing a book about low-income Black mothers parenting teenagers in a racist society with her colleague Sinikka Elliot. The book combines in-depth interview data collected from mothers in NYC and North Carolina. She just received a grant from the Russell Sage Foundation to begin a new ethnographic project about housing instability and new family formation among men reentering from incarceration, and is interested in the reverberating impacts mass incarceration has on low-income Black and Latino families and communities. Megan continues to work on papers analyzing data from prior projects, described below, and collaborates with colleagues at Wisconsin and elsewhere on various projects.
Prior to joining IRP, she was a Project Director at the National Development and Research Institutes in the Institute for Special Population Research, directing an interdisciplinary project that examines partnering and co-parenting among cohabiting low-income Black adults who live in high poverty areas in New York City. The study sought to examine how cohabitation influences partnering decisions, parental responsibilities, and child development and well-being. It employed the mixed-methods approach of a longitudinal panel study and an embedded ethnography over a five year period. Thus far, Dr. Reid and her colleagues have published study findings in the Journal of Marriage and Family, the Journal of African American Studies, the Journal of Family Psychology, and Couple and Family Psychology. Additionally, she has presented findings from this study at conferences sponsored by the National Center for Family and Marriage Research, The American Sociological Association, and the Society for the Study of Social Problems.
Dr. Reid received her MA and PhD in sociology from the University of Texas at Austin. Her dissertation focused on the housing experiences of displaced Hurricane Katrina survivors, and how this varied by race, class, and gender. This work was published in Sociological Forum and the Journal of Family Issues. Click the link below to view her current CV:

There is such a variety of vendors - all of your holiday shopping needs can be met in one place! And the silent auction items are incredible - great baskets from local shops and tickets from area attractions. Can't wait for this event!
Wow..it only took, one of my friend's favortie bands from 1980, over 40 yrs to play here.
oh geez... i can be straight edge for halloween.
Just a slight correction, we are seeking a $5 suggested donation at the door for entry in to the comic book show, all of which goes to benefit Communities in Schools. And if you come to the comic show you can get a voucher for a 2 for 1 ticket to the movie later!
Copacetic will be playing as well
Technically, The Cardinal James Show is made up of Steven Cardinal and Charlie James, rather than a "him" called Cardinal James.
Bella Vita premiered in Charleston on September 17th at the Terrace Theater. Is this an oversight or does the free admission price include a ride in a time machine back to the magical evening when this film DID premiere?
This was terrible. You pay $15 then have to stand in a line for about 45 minutes to get a beer. The demand wasn't managed well at all.
We had a blast. working out as a family!
Please note the event is being hosted by Integrity Model Coaching,LLC. The venue is Summerville YMCA at The Ponds,101 Pottery Circle, Summerville, SC 29483. The event host has contacted Charleston City Paper regarding the error as this wasn't the info submitted. For more information and tickets, check out the event page.
These guys are a blast and they are all great musicians as well! Check em out if you can.
that email is email@example.com.
Be part of the fun!
I've seen several very good plays at the Dock Street, but play can not be described as a "bigger-than- life comedy". Far from it! My family and I went to see it last night and the only laughter we heard were a few snickers here and their from the plain BAD acting and delivery of the lines. I can't believe all these actors were so bad, so I blame the director. They were trying TOO hard and over acting to the point that it wasn't funny in the slightest. We walked out at intermission as did several people around us. Don't waste your money, folks. Sorry, but to quote a line in the play, "it STINKS!"
Good event could only sample 4, portions were more then a taste. Nice venue for this type of event though it might have been more comfortable indoors with air conditioning. Stayed till 8:30 would have stayed longer to enjoy the music if there were tables to sit at. Will do it again next year.
I agree with the previous reviewer--for the price, the wine selection and quantity was disappointing. The people pouring wine kept saying "just a sip"--for $25 there were four tickets--one ticket per 'sip', which was four sips! Add that to the quality of the wine (Yellowtail Shiraz and similar), and clearly this was not a 'wine' event as advertised. Charge $10 and forget the wine (and standard, run-of-the-mill wine glass). This was the first year, so next year might be better. The food and music were good, so the event has some potential, but the wine aspect should be seriously improved or dropped altogether (with a concomitant lowering of price).
Highly Disappointed! Magnolia, Reggae & Wine sounds like a home run event.Very disappointed: Wine "tastings" wait line is highly offensive to wine drinkers / winos. Why would you say "wine" in your title if you are going to serve it to us like children. Give us one full glass and be done with it. Second, and most important is your event area size and ratio to people coming to your event. Give up the entire field so we aren't crammed into a picnic area with thousands of people. Third, So we are crammed into this area with bad wine, long vendor lines(ran out of "jerk" chk) & People with CASH were able to jump ahead in line because ticket holders were not important enough since we bought them ahead of time.Our family of 4 spent over $60 compared to other Reggae event which is $10 per vehicle. Its is the same amount of music time for both events but huge difference in quality.We love Magnolia & we are annual ticket holders but your event didn't do Magnolia justice.My wife and I were so disappointed(She loves reggae and LOVES wine.
I don't think the 1-4 PM event, the "Family Friendly Beer Fest" is still scheduled.
This event is now at Prohibition, 547 King St. every Sunday from 6 to 10pm! https://www.facebook.com/HotJazzSwing

Steven Spielberg Reveals Which 'Indiana Jones' Is His Least Favorite (No, Not That One)
Steven Spielberg, prolific and legendary as he is, has had plenty of flops in his time, and he's not afraid to let everyone know which of his many film children he likes the least. While making the new documentary Spielberg, documentarian Susan Lacy spent more than 30 hours interviewing her subject, and during some of those sessions he told her which of his Indiana Jones films he likes the least. No, it's not that one.

A new report by Institute of Directors Kenya shows that the East African country ranks 14th in Africa, and is one of the top five improving nations in corporate governance.
The report comes on the back of investment firm Cytonn Investments saying that at least 2.6 billion dollars of investor's wealth had been lost as a result of corporate governance malpractices.
"We looked at the progress that a country has made since the year 2000, we went back to the year 2000 when the first report was launched, we looked at the activities that have taken place in market since the promulgation of the new constitution in 2010," said Meshack Joram, CEO Institute of Directors Kenya.
The report resulted in a few findings and patterns that allowed the institute to determine some factors that allow a country to be more compliant.
"What we have seen is that there is a very close correlation between the state of a country's economic and political development, with the state of the development of corporate governance in that country and this report clearly highlights that because if you look at how the countries have been ranked in Africa, there is a very clear correlation."
"We are happy as an institute of directors and even as the Africa corporate governance network, that the governments in Africa are beginning to listen to what we are saying – in Kenya, we have seen that we have made very significant progress in terms of development with our corporate governance, the capital markets authority has been very instrumental in that regard, and the public sector has also been able to take cue."
Corporate governance malpractices used to be associated more with government, Joram says people assumed that everything that went wrong in the economy were through the public sector, but now the private sector is also coming out ensuring everyone is held to account.
"We begin to ensure that we can be able to hold all directors to account and help ensure that there is a significant improvement in the state of development in our companies and even as a country as a whole," said Joram.
He adds how the private sector needs to continue to come out strongly and play a positive role because both the private and the public sector have to work together for countries like Kenya to make progress within issues of corporate governance.
"That level of awareness is very critical for us to be able to make that progress that we need to make as a country – if you look at the progress that we have made and what we are trying to as a country, there is a lot that you can learn from them."

Why become a member of AMIA's Academic Forum?
Informatics is both a field with a rich history and continuously evolving as an academic discipline. Together, AMIA's Academic Forum and informatics training programs are blazing a pathway and working together to formulate guidelines and best practices for education and training nationwide. This institutional "members only" forum allows academic leaders and faculty to explore issues related to the organization and management of educational and research programs in universities and colleges. Issues of interest include competencies, certification, accreditation, training program management, promotion criteria, student recruitment, salary studies, and advocacy within academic environments and other related topics. AMIA connects a broad community of professionals and students interested in informatics.
Why Informatics matters
As the health care IT field continues to experience an explosion of growth, the Bureau of Labor Statistics* estimates employment in informatics is expected to increase by 20 percent through the year 2018, much faster than the average for all occupations. Rapid changes in technology are redefining the environment for capturing and managing healthcare data. As part of Health Care Reform, all patients' records will be converted to electronic records by 2014, creating a demand for qualified informaticians, research and standards.
Qualification for Membership
- Unit must have or demonstrate interest in post-baccalaureate training programs in informatics; for example foundations and government agencies may join as affiliate members if they have an interest in academic informatics, even though they may not have a training program
- The primary and any secondary representative of both regular and affiliate member organizations must be AMIA members
- Each member must belong to a not-for-profit organization
Dues fall into three categories
- Full Member: $4,000 per calendar year per academic unit
- Affiliate Member: $4,000 per calendar year
- Emerging Program Member: $1,000 per calendar year for emerging programs such as those with an institutional commitment to building a program or programs in the early stages of development for a term of two years.
The criteria of an Emerging Program will be determined by the Executive Committee, reviewed from time-to-time, and posted on the Academic Forum website.
Please contact Wanda Sheridan at firstname.lastname@example.com to learn more about becoming a member of the Academic Forum.

Consigning the crystal ball to the scrapheap
A dim-witted Decca Records executive rejected The Beatles in 1962 saying, 'We don't like your boys' sound. Groups are out. Four-piece groups with guitars, particularly, are finished'.
Now as far as downright dumb predictions for the future go, that's pretty much as bad as it gets, although my own recent failings would have Nostradamus turning in his grave and I think my crystal ball should be consigned to the scrapheap alongside Michael Owen's pace.
When looking ahead to the current Premier League campaign I bullishly forecast: 'Despite not really strengthening their squad, Chelsea will again canter to the title' as well as declaring 'Leicester City will be heading south as Claudio Ranieri will find it tough to replicate the harshly-sacked Nigel Pearson's Houdini act'.
Four months down the line and Leicester are top of the pile having already amassed almost enough points to avoid relegation, while Chelsea are struggling more than a cross-channel swimmer after a feed of beer and kebabs. Sure what would I know?
In my defence, I wasn't alone in my misguided beliefs before a ball was kicked at the start of the season and there's been a hell of a lot worse predictions than mine made in sporting realms.
The first one that springs to mind is Alan Hansen's much-quoted 'you won't win anything with kids' jibe when a youthful Manchester United lost 3-1 to Aston Villa on the opening day of the season in 1995.
The Red Devils, with Beckham, Scholes, Butt and the Neville brothers in their ranks, went on to win the double, clinching the league title on the final day of the season after clawing back Newcastle's seemingly insurmountable twelve-point lead.
Pelé may have been one of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen but when it comes to looking into the future his attempts are more Sunday pub league than Champions League.
In 1977 the Brazilian legend boldly envisaged that 'an African nation will win the World Cup before the year 2000', but almost four decades later the finest exponents from the continent have yet to get past the quarter-final stage.
Whether it be as a manager or as a bumbling pundit, Kevin Keegan has always been liable to make a gaffe or two, although admittedly commentator Brian Moore did put him in an impossible situation in this instance.
When David Batty stepped up to take a penalty for England in the shoot-out against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, Moore excitedly asked 'Do you back him to score - quickly, yes or no?' to which Keegan predictably replied 'Yes'.
Wrong answer Kevin!
Dreadful prophecies aren't just reserved for the football fields, however, and it's not only commentators and writers who get it badly wrong but also the sports stars themselves.
Boxers are famous for sticking their chests out and making boastful claims but few could match the sheer unfounded arrogance of Jersey Joe Walcott in 1952.
Walcott, who was 38 when he attempted to defend his world heavyweight boxing title against Rocky Marciano, said 'If I can't beat this bum, take my name off the record books'.
He looked like he could walk the walk, as well as talk the talk, when he knocked the challenger down in the first round and he appeared to be on his way to victory until the final round when he was pummelled by a Marciano right hook.
Marciano turned out to be a far cry from a bum, winning the re-match with a first round knock-out, and with a 49-0 record he remains the only unbeaten heavyweight champion.
The most outlandish claim definitely came from tennis player Bobby Riggs when he practically shouted from the rooftops 'Women can't beat me'. Riggs was a decent player in his day, winning three Grand Slam singles titles in the '30s and '40s, but his comeback certainly tarnished his reputation.
At the age of 55, looking to earn a few handy quid, he challenged professional women to matches, but found out that he had bitten off more than he could chew when he took on one of the true greats of the game, Billie Jean King, in the 'Battle of the Sexes' in 1973.
Riggs believed he would win just because he was a man but in front of 30,472 spectators at the Houston Astro Dome he was firmly put in his place.
Poor football predictions are one thing, but questioning a woman's ability - that's just sheer madness.

Marin Mommies presents a guest article by Ozzie Ozkay-Villa, founder and president of the Alternative Mothers Group, Marin Placenta Services and a birth post-partum doula and placenta processor.
Well, doulas are trained and experienced in childbirth and breastfeeding. They know the physiology of birth and the emotional and physical needs of a woman in labor. She works on the basis of keeping birth normal and positive. They provide balanced information so clients can make their own decisions. Doulas do not replace the partner's role in birth but rather add an extra layer of support and guide the partner when they are feeling overwhelmed. She does not leave the laboring woman. Additionally, postpartum (or PP) doulas fill a large gap in our culture, and are able to facilitate a smooth transition to parenthood. PP doulas focus on the needs of the new mother as well as the newborn. She is there to nurture the mother by offering practical assistance as well as emotional support, enabling her to recover faster and feel more confident in meeting the challenges a new baby brings.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Shen with this build
|Pretty easy match-up, just avoid the early trades and buy amor+hp and he won't be able to do anything against you. Tip : Your W can block his stun if you time it well so it can allow you to take good trades against him.
Shen Splitpush Role
When you got your ultimate up or at least your teleportation up -> you go push the top or the bot lane.
When you don't have your ultimate or teleportation up -> you try to stay a bit close to them in case the ennemy team wants to fight.
The fact that Shen can instantly teleport on one of his ally if a fight is about to begin or was engaged makes him the perfect champion to splitpush. You will have to keep pushing until someone on their team is going to defend the lane your pushing, you have to keep a constant eye on your team mates because the ennemy team can decide, instead of going after you, to engage the fight because it would be a 5v4 for them. This is when you have to use your ultimate and join the fight.
You also have to use your ultimate on the right person, here are some advices that can help you :
AD Carry / Mid laner : If you see one of your carry being focused by the ennemy team, you use your ultimate on him, if he's safe during the fight you can save your ultimate for someone else.
Jungler / Support : If your jungler/support is a champion like Shyvana/Thresh who is strong to engage or just go in, you can use your ultimate on him to follow his call, by doing this you will prevent some ennemy champions to go on the team fight.
A simple way to use your ultimate is to see who is being focused or who is pretty low life and then just use your ultimate on him, plus if your mate is being focus it means that there are ennemy champions close to him so it gives you a better positioning to taunt.
I'll complete this guide when i'll have time, for now i think i gave you the essential to play an effective splitpush Shen (in my opinion).

Players 'dropping like flies' as injuries hit Tom Watson's Ryder Cup team
Non-playing captain Tom Watson may have to bring his clubs as Matt Kuchar fights back spasms and Jason Dufner struggles with neck pain
At the rate American stars are getting hurt, Tom Watson might become a playing captain when his US Ryder Cup squad try to reclaim the trophy from Europe next month.
Sixth-ranked Matt Kuchar, already set for the roster based on qualifying points, withdrew before the start of the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club with back spasms.
Dustin Johnson had been set for a spot before announcing last week that he would take a leave of absence to the end of the year, with a Golf.com report saying he tested positive for cocaine and was set for a suspension, which the PGA Tour has denied.
And defending champion Jason Dufner lasted only 10 holes before walking off the course because of neck pain that has nagged him since the Masters.
Add the struggles of 14-time major champion Tiger Woods with back surgery in March and a withdrawal last Sunday owing to back spasms, and it seems like the Americans will be lucky to have a healthy 12-man roster for the September 26-28 showdown at Gleneagles, Scotland.
Watson helped his cause on the eve of the year's last major by naming 23rd-ranked Steve Stricker, 47, as an assistant captain. He could be called on to play as an injury replacement any time before the Ryder Cup opening ceremony.
"All these guys are dropping like flies on our team. It is a bit scary," Stricker said after a first-round 69. "It doesn't bode well for us, but there are a lot of good players still, and guys are still jockeying for position to try to make that team."
What Watson will have to do is figure out who to choose as his three captain's selections on September 2 after seeing who makes the team on points after tomorrow's final round of the 96th US PGA Championship.
"There's time," Watson, 64, said. "What's going to happen between now and then is anybody's guess. I have to take the information I have, process it and see what comes out."
He joked with Stricker on Thursday, saying in the wake of so many US troubles that Stricker "better get your clubs ready". Stricker needs a high finish to make the team on points.
Watson is watching to see who handles the tension this weekend. "Who performs under pressure - that's what I'm looking for," Watson said.
Already assured of spots on points are Masters winner Bubba Watson, 2013 PGA runner-up Jim Furyk, US and British Open runner-up Rickie Fowler, Jimmy Walker and Kuchar, while Jordan Spieth is all but assured a place.
The other positions are held by Patrick Reed, Zach Johnson and Dufner, but hot on their heels are five-time major winner Phil Mickelson and former PGA champion Keegan Bradley.
Mickelson has vowed to make the squad on points rather than be a captain's choice.
Watson has said he would select Woods if he was healthy.

Even though he was charged with the blown save against the Boston Red Sox Thursday night, Mariano Rivera is still looking at one heck of an honor during the New York Yankees final home stand of the season.
From September 20-26, Foley's NY Pub and Restaurant will be renamed "Mariano's" in honor of the soon-to-be-retired closer.
Yup, the Bill Veeck of booze vendors, Shaun Clancy, is at it again.
"As a Yankee fan and someone who loves baseball, I wanted to do something to thank Mariano Rivera for the joy he has brought to this city and to the game overall," pub owner Clancy said. "I felt compelled to do something to try to give back to him for all he has meant to baseball."
And if this all sounds a little too familar…it's because it is.
Last season at this time, Foley's changed its name to "Chipper's" to celebrate the career of then-retiring Atlanta Braves star Chipper Jones.

Girls have higher standards than guys (I'm a girl by the way), but she's seriously pretty. There's nothing lacking in terms of her face, body and skin. Even as a fellow woman, I am in awe.Her face suits acting way more than being an idol. So she wasn't just a T-ara doll~ I wish her success. Fighting~
