It's a mix of cuisines that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense until you meet the owner of Mino II in Garrett.
As soon as you hear her strong German accent, you understand why there is a variety of schnitzels on Toni Chisholm's menu. And when you hear her passionately talk about her father, who moved his family from Naples, Italy, to Germany where he opened a pizza shop and Italian eatery – Mino I – the rigatoni, spaghetti carbonara and tortellini alla panna are not out of place, either.
And after trying things from both sides of the menu at this hidden little hole-in-the-wall restaurant, I can tell you that both styles of cuisine were prepared the right way – the old-fashioned, hard way. Toni and her daughter, Angelina Filluzzi, take pride in it and boast about it to customers.
Toni was born in the southwest Germany region known as Swabia and got her start in her father's restaurant.
My dad let me make my first meal when I was 7, she said. It was soup and he sold it.
Her German recipes came from her mother, a Czechoslovakian refugee and a heck of a cook who relocated to Germany and learned to cook the food of the region.
Toni doesn't have a preference between the two styles, and neither did I after eating at Mino II. I actually kind of wished there had been some kind of Hitler-Mussolini combo so I could have had both on one plate.
Given the scarcity of German cuisine in area restaurants, I was most eager to try that part of the menu, starting with the ever-so-easy-to-pronounce Jaeger Schnitzel with Kroketten. This pork loin was pounded thin, lightly dredged and sprinkled with parsley and pan sautéed with big sliced button mushrooms. The mushrooms and buttery, light brown gravy was poured over the loin and it was paired with a few homemade fried potato croquettes (kroketten).
The meat was fork tender and succulent, and the mushrooms accented it beautifully. The potato balls were crisp outside, velvety inside and I could have eaten about a dozen of them.
Then I moved on to the – yep, this is the real name – Schweinegeschnetzeltes with Roestie (potato cake), which was even better.
This pork loin was cut into pieces and cooked in thick, rich, white mushroom gravy, and served with two perfectly executed potato cakes. It was the kind of heavy dish one thinks of when it comes to German food and, short of needing just a little more salt, it, too, was wonderful.
As good as both potato sides were, they were nothing compared to the side dish I added to both. Toni makes homemade spaetzle – German noodles – pretty much daily. These thick round noodles that, honestly, look a little like worms, were German perfection – tender, a little doughy and perfect for soaking up all of the flavors of the sauces.
I kept it simpler, and easier to pronounce, when it came to the Italian entrée – baked rigatoni with meat sauce and fresh mozzarella. Unlike most baked pasta dishes, which are made with shredded, processed cheese, the fresh mozzarella transformed this usually simple dish into something special.
The generous amount of cheese sweated as it melted and made the pasta a little oily, but in a good way. The sauce was thick, almost like a ragu. It was meaty with a pure tomato flavor and not too many spices to muck it up.
It was good enough to make me want to try more of Mino II's Italian menu, but that German side kept beckoning me.
During my first visit, Angelina, who provided perfect service to my parties during both visits, mentioned in passing that her mother made several other off-menu German dishes to run as specials from time to time. But when she mentioned that rouladen was one of her favorites, I perked up. And I knew when I would make my next visit.
It was hard to pinpoint the day my favorite German dish – thinly sliced steak rolled around a pickle, bacon, onions and a little yellow mustard – would be offered. Without a website or updated Facebook page, I had to call every so often to see when the dish would be offered. A couple of Thursdays later, I was in luck. If she has a special, it is usually on Thursday, Tina said.
The rouladen's fillings were nicely seasoned, the bacon was tender and added just a hint of saltiness, and the pickle added tang. What brought it all together was the dark brown pan jus that coated it all in a blanket of flavor from the slow-cooked meat's drippings. It was paired with sweet red cabbage and, of course, spaetzle.
The meat was a tad tough, but the dish was still great and worth the extra trip to Garrett for sure.
Tina uses her spaetzle press to make a quirky, almost silly, dessert, too. She presses ice cream through it to create her spaghetti ice cream. Or, if you want a more serious final course, try her Pear Helena – canned pear halves saturated with chocolate syrup and topped with ice cream.
The most perfect meal-ender was another Italian treat. Toni made me possibly the best espresso I have ever had. I don't usually go for espresso – I prefer my coffee sweet and creamy – but Mino II grinds its own beans and created a perfect cup with that signature velvety layer of foam (crema) on top.

We are a family in Sydney Australia and we are looking for a live in Son-Rise AuPair or Nanny or Volunteer. We We are new to our diagnosis and to SonRise, I have a SonRise Graduate with an ASD daughter here that introduced me to the programme, my 3.5 year old daughter responds right away. I can not travel as I have a 9 month old son, we need help and would like it right away. We have a play room that we can set-up in our large house etc. Our little girl Amelia, is 3.5yrs old and has been diagnosed with mild autism and developmental delay. She lines up her toys, stims with plants and berries, is non verbal except for a baby cable, but is starting to speak with single words, she has all the other components of language except the verbal. She has a little brother Thomas, who is 9 months and very much normal, and he loves her. Amelia is a very affectionatle little girl, has normal eye contact, smiles and laughs alot and is delightful. She tries to play with other children but needs help. Her attention span is very short.
She has some single words, but her language is mostly single words and very few for now. We have a speech pathologist come to the house weekly together with a Son Rise trained speech therapist (the friend I mentioned above), and they assure us she is starting her speech track. Her language, is receptive and responding extremely well to Son-Rise, we are really happy and need to continue this. Currently we have an AuPair living with us, she is experienced with children in delays and autism. She is a cross between ABA and play therapist, not our preferred choice.

Jessica Rayborn is an absolute jewel in a sea of Atlanta photographers! Securing her as our wedding photographer was the single BEST decision we made!! Jessica has contributed her expertise and knowledge of weddings, shared ideas and suggested options we never considered, and made the wedding planning a seamless and relaxed process. Her photography is, without question, exquisite. She is talented - an excellent eye for lighting and detail and nuance. But a photographer is so much more than just a person who takes pictures - she also shares the special moments, develops a friendship. She was there for the engagement photos, then the Bridal portrait photos, then ALL DAY of the wedding - capturing every detail and telling a love story in beautiful pictures. I highly recommend her - for so many reasons. Jessica Rayborn is simply the best. The best in Atlanta. I look forward to working with her for many years!

Jessica Rayborn was amazing from the very start! My mom and I met up with her at Starbucks to get to know each other and go over details. Jessica Rayborn is a very easygoing, down to earth person, who sets everyone around her at ease. I knew then that I definitely wanted Jessica to shoot our engagement pictures and wedding pictures after looking at samples she had brought with her. She was not only always Professional and on time but so friendly as well! She always responded to my emails and questions promptly and stayed on top of me to make sure I got what documents I needed turned in :) Thank you. I was so excited to see our engagement pictures and to no surprise they were incredible. But I was completely blown away when I saw our wedding pictures (that she sent to us just 3 weeks after the wedding). She made sure to capture every little detail of the wedding from the décor to the food to the wedding guests. On our wedding day, Jessica arrived amidst all the chaos of setting up, and was so patient! She did a great job working with our friends and family, and we enjoyed posing for her creative, fun shots. I can't stop showing off all our pictures. They are absolutely beautiful and more than I had hoped for. There are no words to express my Gratitude to Jessica and her assistant. If you are looking for great value, professional, and high quality/creative photo services, I would definitely recommend Jessica Rayborn Photography. I know we will use her in the future for any pictures we need :)

Jessica is INCREDIBLE! She is a pleasure to work with. My husband hates photographs. The moment he met Jessica he smiled. She captured some truly incredible engagement shots. He loved the photos so much he made his favorite the screen saver on his iPad and iPhone!
Jessica had suggested a first look. I was a little hesitant because I wanted a more traditional wedding. We decided to go with the first look because of Jessica's recommendation. We have replayed our wedding several times. The first look is our most memorable and special part of our big day.
Jessica is so easy to work with. She is very responsive. If you have any photo fright Jessica makes it quickly disappear. Jessica will be the only photographer we use in the future!

Jessica was super amazing awesome. I can easily say that having her as our photographer was the best choice we made for the wedding. I fell in love with her style from a friend's engagement photos. Jessica traveled far for our wedding and worked with our schedule, was great with communication and giving us what we wanted. I'm not comfortable in front of a camera, and Jessica put me at ease and made us look amazing with her gorgeous style. She has a great personality and put together a great package for us. I highly recommend her!

Jessica Rayborn Photography was the best vender at our entire wedding! From the moment I first met her at the GA Bridal Show, up until now after my wedding she has been absolutely amazing. She goes above and beyond to ensure that everything (not just the photography) is perfect. She made my very camera shy husband feel comfortable with having his picture taken during our engagement session. Our photos have come out so lovely. I have been raving about her since we first met. I already recommend her to everyone and will continue to do so.

There aren't enough words of praise to describe how wonderful it was to work with Jessica Rayborn Photography. We knew she was exactly what we wanted the first time we met with her. She captured every special moment of the wedding day, and we are grateful that we will be able to remember the day forever. Jessica was always available to talk with us when we needed advice or help. She arrived early and found the perfect photo spots for our engagement pictures and wedding day pictures. She was incredibly flexible and relaxed while we were somewhat stressed and crazed. We love that we have these photos to share with our family and friends now, as well as those in our future. The services Jessica provided were well worth the price we paid for everything!

We loved working with Jessica throughout the wedding planning process! She is very professional and straight forward, will bend over backwards to make sure your needs are met, constantly has awesome sales/deals on album designs and prints, and feels more like a friend taking your pictures than an intimidating photographer. You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to photography on your wedding day, so this is not a place you should cut corners. Having amazing pictures keeps the wedding day from merely being a memory...we can always open our album and relive every moment!

Jessica was AMAZING on our wedding day. She was seemingly everywhere capturing every moment of the wedding and reception, while at the same time, doing it in such a way that didn't remotely distract from any of the goings on. She was incredibly upbeat the whole time, even continuing to enthusiastically get great shots in quickly-fading daylight after stepping on fire ants and experiencing a pretty scary allergic reaction. By the end of the night, she still had enough energy to dance with us at the reception. Jessica is a complete professional in every way, and possesses just the kind of laid-back personality and grace necessary for handling such an important and stressful event. 5 stars all around!

I highly recommend Jessica Rayborn as a wedding photographer. We hired her for our July 2011 wedding at the Lighthouse in NYC. She is so creative and talented! She actually made me feel relaxed, and I am EXTREMELY camera shy. She doesn't exude anxious, type-A energy, but she definitely stays focused on the task at hand and the time ticking by. We were thrilled with her that day and also with the final result. Our pictures are a great balance of classic and modern. She really captured the spirit of the day and the vibe of the unusual but beautiful venue. Her pricing is very fair and she explains it all thoroughly. She is kind, considerate, easy to express concerns to, quick thinking, and efficient. I would absolutely recommend her for your wedding. I am beyond thankful to have such beautiful pictures and to have had such a stress-free experience!!!!

Arizona State University is getting ready for our 9th annual Camp Kesem!
Camp Kesem is a college student run summer camp for kids with a parent who has cancer, is in remission from cancer, or has passed away from cancer.
Our Mission:
Camp Kesem recognizes and embraces the often-overlooked population of children affected by a parent's cancer.
There are over 3 million kids affected by a parent's cancer. Because they don't appear sick, their needs are often not addressed – and they suffer quietly, which can have long-lasting effects.
Camp Kesem is the only national organization supporting their unique needs.
We create a peer support network for these kids which has life-long impact.
Our Programs:
• Summer Camps: Camp Kesem provides a network of free college-student run summer camps for kids affected by a parent's cancer. Camps provide a unique and compassionate environment where kids can just be kids.
• Year-Round Support: Throughout the academic year, children affected by a parent's cancer participate in reunions, connect with their peers, and receive support resources.
• Leadership Development Program: College students and counselors-in-training learn leadership skills and receive year-round training to organize and run each camp.
• Community Engagement and Civic Leadership: Camp Kesem engages alumni, community leaders, and camper families through advisory boards, alumni associations, and our Board of Directors.
• Scoring for Good: CK leverages the visibility and talents of professional athletes to help recognize and inspire children affected by a parent's cancer.

CSI Miami: Solve Your Beauty Crimes
Photo Credit: Sheryl Nields
When Sephora unveiled its Skinphysical diagnostic machine in select stores late last summer, it did so "to demonstrate that knowledge is power," says Sephora's education development manager Laura Filancia. Developed in conjunction with Klinger Advanced Aesthetics (Georgette Klinger created the world's first "medical facial") and tested for safety and efficacy at Johns Hopkins Medical School, the Skinphysical uses visual imaging and sensors to show what the naked eye can't see: your skin with every bit of sun damage, spotting, and loss of hydration and elasticity accumulated through your life. Scary? You bet, though most people are galvanized by the findings, says Filancia: "The reaction young women have, particularly to seeing the damage UV has done, results in an immediate call to action to step up protection." Nu Skin and Olay will be introducing similar skin analysis systems by this spring. Of course, sun isn't the only culprit, cautions Filancia: "Central AC, heat, and computer screens sap the moisture right out of your face." While the Skinphysical is free, Sephora is stocked with creams, serums, and sunscreens you'll likely be shocked into buying. Though Filancia won't play favorites, she doesn't deny that dermatologists' brands are buying up more and more aisle space at Sephora, from N.V. Perricone's eponymous line to Dr. Dennis Gross's MD Formulations, to Murad and Cosmedicine.
Expectations about skin creams are climbing, explains Perricone, a Connecticut-based skin doctor who calls his products "cosmeceuticals": "Women are demanding powerful topical treatments that rival more invasive dermatologic and plastic-surgery procedures."

Bobby Lashley
Real Name
Franklin Lashley
Date of Birth
July 16, 1976
Place of Birth
A video tribute for the Undertaker using his action figure. WWE features his character destroying the likes of Eddie Guerrero, Kane, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, John Cena and others.
April 14, 2014
A fan posted this rather interesting picture on Twitter, and it caught the attention of Ricardo Rodriguez. In the photo, the WWE on screen character was mistakenly swapped with a Rey Mysterio action figure. The packaging was designed for Rodriguez, though.
February 9, 2014
Karl Etherington was undefeated and the British heavyweight champion when he walked into Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane last night. By the time that Bellator 130 had ended, however, his unblemished record was no more. About 90 seconds into the fight, Etherington slipped on a judo throw, so Bobby Lashley was able to capitalize and land enough punches to get the referee to stop the match.
October 25, 2014
For MMA fighters, you only have a certain amount of time in the business, so you want to get as many fights as humanly possible before you retire. Bobby Lashley is fully aware of this theory, and he embraces it. The TNA star won a fight earlier this month for Bellator, and he's already scheduled for another one next month at a show in Kansas.
September 22, 2014
Bellator 123 is over, and Bobby Lashley has another win in his MMA career now. The TNA World Heavyweight Champion successfully defeated Josh Burns via submission. The win took place about a minute into the second round when Lashley was able to lock on a rear naked choke hold. The victory is expected to be heavily hyped up by TNA to bring a little more credibility to their championship.
September 6, 2014
It's not easy to juggle a career in professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. That's why TNA is being cautious with how they utilize Bobby Lashley. It is being said that management will closely observe what happens in his upcoming fight for Bellator this weekend. If Lashley is too battered and bruised, then TNA will take the world title off of him at an upcoming Impact Wrestling and allow him to take some time off.
September 4, 2014
A couple of years ago, there were quite a bit of rumors floating around that Batista and Bobby Lashley were set to fight one another at an MMA show. During a recent interview, Lashley revealed some details about that. The TNA champion stated that he had approached a promoter about making the fight happen. There was interest because of the potential draw of wrestling fans, but things never got to the point where there were serious discussions.
September 2, 2014
TNA has a couple of live events coming up in a few days, and their world heavyweight champion will not be around. Bobby Lashley is going to be missing the one night only pay per view taping and an international television taping because he has to do a fight for Bellator MMA on September 5. His opponent is Josh Burns, who currently has an 8-7 record.
August 28, 2014
Some interesting news coming out of TNA, as Bellator has now announced that Bobby Lashley will be making his MMA debut for their company in September. The current world heavyweight champion is scheduled to fight against veteran Josh Burns at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The belief is that Spike heavily pushed to make this happen as Bellator and TNA are two of their top performing brands.
July 16, 2014
Last month, rumors were finally squashed about WWE bringing back the Nation of Domination stable with R Truth, Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston. Speculations have started back up again now that WWE has formed an on screen alliance between Kingston and Langston. Management reportedly canceled the plans previously because they did not want to make it seem like they were copying TNA, which recently launched a stable with MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley.
July 8, 2014
Prior to his injury, there were plans in place to have MVP winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Eric Young. Since the company needed a heel champion to be the antagonist against Kurt Angle and his new on screen authority role, the belt went to Bobby Lashley instead. There are talks that TNA could try to figure out how to transfer the belt over to MVP soon.
July 5, 2014
Based on all the moves that they have been making as of late, it seems that Dixie Carter and her company are hellbent on generating big numbers at these upcoming shows in New York City. TNA just announced that Jeff Hardy will be challenging Bobby Lashley for the world heavyweight championship at one of the shows. Both guys have name value thanks to their time in WWE.
June 21, 2014
A big reason why Bobby Lashley was given the TNA World Heavyweight Championship this week is because he is viewed as a marketing asset. The company immediately sent out a press release to inform them that Lashley had become the new champion. TNA is touting his accomplishments as a collegiate athlete, military personnel, mixed martial arts and professional wrestling to the media.
June 20, 2014
After being given some time off of television, where his character was serving a story line suspension, Bobby Roode made his much anticipated return to Impact Wrestling this week. The former TNA champion came back to save Eric Young, who had just lost the world title, from an attack by MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley. Roode received a warm reception from the audience.
June 19, 2014
In a surprising move, Bobby Lashley walks away from Impact Wrestling this week as the next world heavyweight champion in TNA. He was given a title shot against Eric Young, who defended the belt earlier in the night against Kenny King. With the odds stacked against him, Young put on a good effort, but in the end, Lashley proved to be too much. A spear and a pin ended the match.
June 19, 2014
Since MVP has a badly injured knee, TNA decided to change up the main event of Slammiversary 2014. Eric Young will still be defending the world heavyweight championship in a steel cage at the event, but he's now going to be doing so against two opponents. The winners of the respective matches between Samoa Joe, Bobby Lashley, Kenny King and Austin Aries will be challenging Young for the belt.
June 13, 2014
There were rumors a couple of weeks ago that WWE was going to bring back the Nation of Domination stable as a vehicle for Big E Langston, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and R Truth to have something to do. However, it now appears that management has opted against that. Some believe that WWE does not want to make it seem like they're copying TNA, which recently introduced a stable with MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley.
June 2, 2014
In case you did not catch Impact Wrestling this week, Samoa Joe made his return to TNA. He received a bit of a pop as he came back to save Eric Young and Bully Ray from an attack by MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley in the final segment of the show. Upon signing with TNA, MVP specifically mentioned Samoa Joe as a performer that he wanted to work against, so that feud could be happening soon.
May 30, 2014
When Bobby Lashley made his return to TNA, some felt that it might have been a temporary appearance. However, that was squashed when it was revealed that was back for an extended period of time. There are rumors floating around right now that TNA could use his name value to give some credibility to Brutus Magnus in a title program.
March 27, 2014
Since he is expected to make his return in a couple of weeks, there are rumors now that TNA could have Kurt Angle teaming up with Bobby Lashley. The two of them have had on screen issues with Ethan Carter as of late. Plus, by utilizing Angle in a tag team, they can protect him a little bit since he is coming off of knee surgery.
March 24, 2014
When Bobby Lashley made a surprise appearance at TNA Lockdown 2014, where he answered the open challenge issued by Ethan Carter, it create a bit of a buzz in the world of professional wrestling. Many wanted to know about his long term status with the industry. That is being worked out with Dixie Carter still, as Lashley worked the pay per view without a contract.
March 14, 2014
When Bobby Lashley made his return on TNA Lockdown 2014, fans immediately began to speculate as to whether it was a one time thing or if the former WWE star was back full time. In this video, the MMA fighter informs fans that he is back on a permanent basis and is hoping to win some championships in the company.

Driving to music from Susanita on Vimeo
More fun with the GoPro Hero Cam. Rob attached the Hero to the hood of the car pointed back and the driver seat and set it to take a photo every few seconds. Played back as a video it compresses a 40 minute drive into a 2.28 minute video.
Last weekend the National Capitol Area Women's Paddling Association (NCAWPA) had their first annual Dragon Boat/ Outrigger Canoe training weekend. Usually there is a training camp in Florida that a lot of members attend but due to cost and other obligations (we want to keep our jobs) most decided to punt the Florida training camp. So we had our own training camp on the lovely, but polluted, Anacostia River. Nothing gets your heart rate up like paddling through toxic water.

Turkey joins Turkmenistan in selecting the S-92 as its head-of-state helicopter. Turkmenistan is buying two aircraft. To date, Sikorsky has orders, including options, for more than 60 S-92 helicopters, making it the most successful commercial launch in the company's history.
Sikorsky has been contracted by the Government of Canada to provide 28 military H-92 derivatives. The S-92 is also becoming popular candidate for head-of-state aircraft, with a version of the H-92 under consideration for the next-generation helicopter to serve the White House mission.
"This further solidifies Turkey's relationship with our company," said Joseph Gigantelli, regional vice president for Sikorsky. "We are pleased with the confidence Turkey has shown in our products." Turkey operates S-70 BLACK HAWK and SEAHAWK helicopters.
The S-92 provides unprecedented levels of safety and reliability, including Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS) in all civil aircraft configurations.
It is the first and remains the only helicopter in the world certified by the FAA to FAR Part 29 Transport Rotorcraft, Amendment 47, the latest U.S. safety regulations. The Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR) are the European counterpart of the USA-based FAR, with similar safety regulations.
The type certification and safety capabilities place the S-92 firmly ahead of other medium helicopters in the marketplace.
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, based in Stratford, Conn., is a world leader in helicopter design, manufacturing and service. Sikorsky is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation (NYSE: UTX), of Hartford, Conn.

Relationship Violence
While in college and throughout our lives, we are all engaged in various relationships, both platonically and intimately. While relationships can be a source of support, fun, and happiness, not all relationships provide these benefits. Some people are involved in unhealthy relationships, which can also sometimes become abusive. We encourage you to review the information on this page to see where your relationships fall. If you want to talk to someone about your relationship, or if you are concerned about a friend's relationship, call the Women's Center at Virginia Tech at 54/.231-7806.

- Types of abuse
- Cycle of abuse in relationships

- How to get help if you are a student and have experienced relationship violence.
- How to get help if you are an employee and have experienced relationship violence.
What is relationship violence?
Types of abuse
This following list includes types of abuse that may be present in abusive relationships. These behaviors may be present at different points during the relationship, to varying degrees, or not at all.
Cycle of abuse in relationships
Abuse in relationships can follow a cyclical pattern. There are times when abusive behavior happens only once, but unfortunately this is not the case in most abusive relationships. Violent behavior typically repeats throughout the cycle. Keep in mind that not all of the victim/abuser behaviors listed below always occur, they are just some examples of commonly reported reactions.
Stage 1: Tension building: The abuser may become edgy and start to react more negatively to frustrations. The tension may rise to a point where the abuser feels that he/she has lost control over the behavior/actions of the victim.
Stage 2: Acute explosion: This is often the shortest of the stages because violence most always occurs at this point. The abuser may outwardly express more intense anger. Some victims become more emotionally detached because becoming emotional with the abuser could be more likely to trigger violence. It typically ends after a violent outburst by the abuser.
Stage 3: Honeymoon: This is typically a welcomed stage by both the abuser and the victim. The abuser usually expresses remorse for his/her actions and the victim starts to believe that the abuser can change and stop being abusive. This stage often continues until the abuser begins to feel confident again and starts to feel a loss of control over the victim's behavior. This stage has shown to decrease in length over time and has been shown to in some cases, disappear totally.
*This information is adapted from Walker, L. (1980) The Battered Woman and a brochure titled "Dating Violence" from Sexual Assault Services and Crime Victim Assistance, Rutgers University.
Characteristics of abusive vs. healthy relationships
Abusive relationships are based on power and control while
healthy relationships are based on respect.
(Adapted from "Is your relationship heading into dangerous territory?" brochure from the University of Texas at Austin (2001). (www.utexas.edu/student/cmch.)
Say something when you see relationship red flags
Virginia Tech is a participant in The Red Flag Campaign, a statewide awareness campaign designed to encourage us all to speak up when we see red flags (or warning signs for potential abusive or unhealthy behaviors) in our friends' relationships.
While it's true that relationship violence is a complex problem that cannot be solved by a poster campaign, the message of the campaign is that there are countless steps we can take in our daily lives to stop someone who is being abusive, or to help someone who is being victimized.
Think about it. What is your responsibility as a friend? Is it to protect the "privacy" of your friend who is possibly being abused? Is it to defend another friend's behavior, even though it could be abusive or violent?
Yes, sometimes we may feel pressure not to air a friend's business or to minimize what's going on. But please consider that relationship violence is not a "personal issue" and it is not something to be kept private. Relationship violence is a community issue…and sometimes a criminal one.
Research indicates that in 21% of college dating relationships, one of the partners is being abused. That's 1 in 5 relationships.
So, if you want to know how to help a friend when it comes to relationship violence, here are some ideas. When it comes to relationship violence, here's what it means to be a friend:
Pay attention to red flags, and trust your instincts. If you see something in your friend's relationship that makes you feel uneasy, something you can't quite put your finger on…say something. Tell you friend what you've noticed and ask if there's anything you can do to help.
It shouldn't take your friend physically harming his or her intimate partner and or self before you say something.
It shouldn't take your friend having to come to you for help before you say something.
Your responsibility as a friend and our responsibility as a community is to ensure that students are able to reach their potential, and that patterns of healthy intimate relationships are able to take root. What we learn now about how to treat our girlfriends and boyfriends will shape our commitments in the future…to our partners, spouses, children, and families.
So if you see a red flag in your friend's relationship, are you going to turn away? Or are you going to say something?

Trails- Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge offers two wildlife trails that are open year round during daylight hours and are fully disabled-accessible.
Refuge Map
(pdf file)
North Pond Wildlife Trail is a half-mile, fully disabled accessible trail which offers spectacular wildlife observation any season. The best birding is during the fall and winter. The trail is located near the Visitor Center which is approximately 3.5 miles south of Oregon Inlet. Most visitors walk this trail to the end - a double-level tower - and then retrace their steps to the Visitor Center and their vehicles.
North Pond Wildlife Trail Map (PDF)
There is a service road that goes completely around North Pond. Energetic outdoor folks may choose to wander all the way around; however, the bugs are usually bad and most of the wildlife observation opportunities are similar to those from North Pond Trail. The final 1.5 mile section of the "loop" is along NC Highway 12 and can prove to be unpleasant and unsafe for walking.
Salt Flats Wildlife Trail is a slightly shorter trail on the north end of North Pond that terminates at a disabled- accessible overlook which provides viewing access to the Salt Flats area, as well as North Pond.
Salt Flats Wildlife Trail Map (PDF)
Pristine Beach - Pea Island offers almost thirteen miles of beautiful, barrier island beach, undisturbed by vehicles. Many visitors seek the peace and solitude of the refuge beach, choosing to walk the extra distance for the quiet and less-crowded conditions. Shelling, beachcombing, and just strolling along the shoreline are popular activities.
Wildlife Observation and Photography - In addition to the wildlife trails, which offer tremendous observation and photography opportunities, there is a photography blind located very near NC Highway 12. Please call the Visitor Center (252-987-2394) for directions to the blind. And there are many less formal opportunities to enjoy these activities. Unless an area is signed as "Closed to Public Entry", you may wander throughout the beach, salt flats and dune areas of the refuge.
Fishing - Pea Island offers access to both the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound for saltwater fishing.
Hunting is not allowed on Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge.

So - has anyone taken the time to tally the number and types of injuries on this thread? I'm curious but not curious enough to tally it up.
So - has anyone taken the time to tally the number and types of injuries on this thread? I'm curious but not curious enough to tally it up.
Add me to the list although not boarding at the time. Was doing pushups. Next thing I know Triple Bypass. This coming from a 63 year old 5'9" 142 lb. really good aerobic shape, having given up red meat, almost all cheese, fried foods, and most things that would clog a carwash drain. Father 1st heart attack at 41 dead at 61. Doing fine, no heart damage, knew enough to go to emergency with the slightest odd feeling from chest to upper right arm, maybe equivalent to less than one pound of pressure. So I'm just dropping this note to make you guys aware that you should read this book (no I don't get a cut).
Fully expect to be fitter because my heart is pumping considerbly more blood with the bypass. So I hope you take note.

Bumpyride -
From what I understand, you can do everything right but you can't change your genetics. Genetics play a greater role than we think. Hope you heal well.
Thanks for the well wishes guys. My real hope is that some will read and prevent this from happening.
BTW, the typical symptoms are usually LEFT arm pain and chest pressure. Granted you can have almost any kind of symptom, I've even seen someone with a "weird toothache" who ended having a heart attack. But when physicians talk about "typical angina", this usually means chest pressure, possibly with pain radiating to the left arm, sometimes associated with shortness of breath, sweatiness, or nausea, and associated with exertion.
Mine was no pain, slight unease, nothing I wouldn't have disregarded a couple of years back. Lots of stories in the Hospital from Nurses whom had lost their husbands in their 40's. One thought he had a cold, another was a miserable SOB and his wife said "I know I should feel bad.", another just dropped.
Two weeks ago I had a retinal detachment and tear in the right eye, went to the dr. and he did in office lazer treatment to secure it from getting worse. Couple days later I had a "Giant" retina tear / detachment. With emergency surgery that day. Three hours of surgery they installed a "Buckle" around the outside of the eye and stitched that on, removed was remained of the vitreous material, lots of repairing the damages and more lazer surgery to tack it down. Large gas bubble injected in the eye to help "float" the retina back. Several days of "Face Down" positioning then alternating vertial positioning with face down. I am still pretty much blind in the right eye. After todays visit the surgeon states it is where he would expect it to be with minimal slippage. It will be weeks before what sight I have in the eye returns. I am anxious but hopeful.
Thank you to those who knew about my issues and offered help. Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers. I am encouraged by todays checkup.

Holy crap Bryan, how did you do that? I couldn't even read your description, it had me squirming in my chair.
If it makes you feel any better, my dad lost vision in one eye as a kid and still was able to race cars & snowmobiles competitively. Your brain figures out other ways to judge distance after a short while. Your snowboarding fun is not in jeopardy.
Best of luck!
The first time I heard about one of these was 2 days ago. Same scenario from a carpenter. He recovered completely. Best of luck to you Bryan.
Holy crap Bryan! I'm really sorry to hear that. Was it your dominant eye?
I hope you have a quick and uneventful recovery. How in the world did you do that btw? Spontaneously?
So sorry to hear about your eye! Having gone through corrective eye surgery in the dark ages (with complications), I am very thankful for my eyesight. Keep us up to date on your condition.
My thoughts and prayers to you, Sir!
"Carving is like amplitude modulation. Think about it... Juwan, STOP THINKING!" ~ Big Mario
Bryan -- Hope it heals well and quickly--- I did the retina tear last year... and that Fn Bubble... What a pain in the butt, but it did get better every day and less and less bubble was in the eye. in a couple of weeks or so I could start to see the sky and a few tall tree tops.. couple days later I finally saw the horizon. then was able to see the dash board of my car and then then the gear shift and then slowly less and less bubble and more eye sight.
Keep us posted on your condition.

Heal well and fast. I'm sure you'll be fine for the start of the next season.

Thanks for the postive vibes everyone.
No, I didn't do anything. No accident etc.
I have been dealing with eye issues for a few years. I had blocking floaters four years ago ( so many that they obscured my vision) , at that time I had a vitrectomy and some preventative lazer spot welding on the retina. This , expectedly led to a catarac which was removed a few months ago. Things were finally looking good , then this.

Bryan - What a drag! I do hope you heal fast and some decent site returns to your right eye. It IS amazing what can be done. Give it time and hang in there.
My dad had a giant detachment about fifteen or more years ago. After 6 weeks of recovery with the big gas bubble, his vision was remarkably restored. I hope it goes as well for you.
The older I get, the longer it hurts.
Once again, I am just so thankful to be a part of such an amazing group of guys and gals. I sure appreciate the well wishes and prayers. I currently just glad to be able to communicate via email and online again. I should probably not quote everyone in my replies. I feel like I am clobbering the AIL thread. Thanks again. Bryan
Bryan, wishing you all the luck in the world with this.
I have a weak left eye, but with 20/20. I can guess how frustrating it is. Doing the driving license vision test one time, I was waiting for the left eye test, and the clerk asked if I could read any of the letters. I suddenly realized that because my right eye couldn't see anything, the left eye decided there must be nothing to look at and went blank. Once I knew, I blinked and could read off all the letters. It's weird stuff.

Oh wow, didn't know about your eye, Bryan. Just got into this thread just now since I'm in the middle of the break before quiz review at noon.
Speedy recovery for your eyeball, mate!
Ouch! I rely so much on my not so great sight that I can barely imagine how hard it must be for you right now Bryan.I sincerely hope your healing prcoess is quick and has the best outome.
