Interesting Things
- nginx may write temporary files to local disk, especially for large files (>64K). You should make sure that
proxy_temp_pathis writable. You can also control the size when this happens by adjusting
proxy_temp_file_write_size. The more interesting thing is that if the directory is not writable, you won't see an error message in the logs, but
straceis still your friend.
"Should I include
Gemfile.lockin a repository for a gem?"
- Yes, but don't include it in the gemspec, that way it won't be distributed with the gem.
- Bundler doesn't look at lock files in dependent gems anyway.
- It makes less sense for a gem since you wouldn't want to lock down the environment for all of your gem's users.
"What library should I use for GUIDs?"
- uuidtools
- universally unique identifiers may have trouble in other universes, please use caution when crossing these boundaries ;-)

This shouldn't be happening. Unless I don't understand it right, data is data, so if we are paying for it how can we get charged again? If you use your allotted data, then charges or a slow down should apply. I'm on Verizon so it wouldn't surprise me to see them do something like this. I'm doing all I can to keep my "unlimited" data plan there and may even resort to never buying a subsidized phone again and just save my pennies and purchase it full price. As of now, this is the only way I can keep it. Anyways, for you AT&T subscribers, I feel for you and I hope this won't really happen or if it did, they back off due to public outrage(and the legality of it?)
Poll: Would you pay extra for FaceTime over cellular?
Rumor has it, come this fall AT&T just might charge extra for FaceTime over cellular when the feature launches with iOS 6. Is that fair?
AT&T has a business to run and if they can get a few more dollars per user, or keep a little extra traffic off their much-maligned network, could that be win/win for them? Do you believe in paying per service so you get the best service?
How about if AT&T makes FaceTime 'Net-non-neutral and, if you pay, guarantees your packets get served first and you get the best, most crystal clear video possible?Or if paying more meant an extra 1GB or so of FaceTime data? Would that make a difference to your decision?
Or do you firmly believe that you already pay AT&T, and pay them well, for your data and you should darn well be able to do what you please with it? Especially if your capped already, and paying extra already for tethering, should AT&T be allowed to triple dip in your data pool?
As always, vote in our poll up top and then give me the details in the comments below. iMore nation, how do you feel about the idea of paying extra for your cellular FaceTime?

Reader comments
Poll: Would you pay extra for FaceTime over cellular?
I already use FaceTime over "4G" with unlimited data. I read that they were going to allow FT over 3G last year, and got PO'd when they didn't, so decided not to wait anymore. Just jailbreak and get 3G Unrestrictor. I just don't have hardly anyone with FT enabled to call. Quality in San Francisco is usually OK, although sometimes both video and voice degrade, and of course I have to deal with throttling. It seems to work better if I start with voice then start FaceTime, although I have not had the opportunity to test it thoroughly.
It's not at all surprising, but it is still despicable. Data is data is data. Most of us have data limits, so how we use our allotted data should be up to us without this kind of nonsense. I think tethering charges are horseshit as well.
I wish Apple would spend some of those billions on getting their own network. I know there are good arguments against it, but I can still dream! Given the nearly ubiquitous hatred of the telco companies and their shenanigans, I imagine it would be successfull, but I also realize it would be a huge gamble.
Data is data is data.
AT&T wants you off your unlimited plans. Likely, they're going to be the Blue Monkey following the Red Monkey Verizon and allow you to use FaceTime over Cellular ONLY while on shared data when they unveil those plans. There's going to be a jailbreak around it, of course, but that's beside the point.
AT&T hat salesman: We have a lovely assortment of hat here. This black one you can wear for 2 hours a week. Or you can purchase our 10 hour a week hat.
Customer: I'll take the 10 hour hat cause others in my family might wear it.
AT&T Hat Salesman: Oh, you can't let anyone else wear it....just you. Unless you buy our "Family Use" hat. It looks exactly that the 2 hour and 10 hour hat, but costs more. Also, you can't wear any of our hats out of the country. But we will let you wear it to parties....if you purchase our "Party Hat Plan". See, here at AT&T we want you to have the best deal possible. As long as we have full control over how, when and where you use the hat and our pricing structure is abstruse enough that you can't figure out which shell the pea is under.
Customer: Do you have a plan where I could buy a hat and just use as I want without all the red tape and extra charges?
AT&T Hat Salesman: (laughing) No. That wouldn't be fair to other hat owners. You may wear your hat too much or wear it with suits that we don't allow. We don't invest much in the quality of the hats we sell so we have to limit your usage in order to make more profits and not have to build better hats.
Customer: Maybe I'll just try another hat store.
AT&T Hat Salesman: Good luck with that. We all have the same business model, almost zero competition and full government support for continuing our current practices. We're a corporation: we don't have to care or be moral or ethical....we just need to make profits and use our market position and capital to retain our advantage and influence laws to best suit our tax needs. We really don't care about hats; it just happens to be the thing we sell. Hell, one day we may even sell wireless phones or internet access. Now there's a business we could really make some money at.
Buy my data. But if you want to use that data you just bought you have to pay extra for voice, You have to pay extra for text messages, You have to pay extra for hotspots, You have to pay extra for Facetime. Coming soon, You will have to pay extra for Netflix, You will have to pay extra for Skype, You will have to pay extra for Emails, You will have to pay extra for Web surfing. But if you can come up with anything else to use your data for then you can use if for no extra charge until we figure out what you are using it for and can add an extra charge for that as well. Oh, and if you don't use your data you loose it, no carry forward of unused data. Thank you for your business.
Didn't you use to have to pay for email access on the palm smartphones?
no way. If Rogers wants to do the same, I wont use that feature. Not that I use it quite often on wifi anyway
AT&T, like all other cell carriers, is milking us for every penny they can get. It's as if they're trying to save up for an internet-telephony future, when they just might devolve into generic commodity providers, like ISPs are now. The oil companies (another oligopoly) are doing the same thing. Milking us for record profits to prepare for an alternative-energy future.
Would I pay extra for FaceTime over 3G? Hells no.
How do I feel about it? HateT&T can shovel it.
Jailbreak + 3G Unrestrictor = moot point
Even though I'm capable of FT/3G right now, this is just one more straw on the back of the camel dealing with this company. It's just about time to walk, as far as my being their customer is concerned.
Heck to the no I would not pay!

Bishop England center Ben Carico stepped to the line, with no time left on the clock, his team tied on the road, and sank a free throw to lift the Bishops past the Academic Magnet Raptors 60-59 Tuesday in North Charleston.
Bishop England (4-3, 1-0) held at least a 10-point lead throughout most of the game but Academic Magnet (2-3, 0-1) came storming back in the fourth quarter to score 22 points and tie the game in the final minute.
Academic Magnet just wouldnt quit, Bishop England head coach Bryan Grevey said. Our kids might have let up a little bit in the fourth quarter but credit Academic Magnet, they just kept fighting.
Ben has proven that hes capable of knocking down free throws so we felt pretty comfortable with at the line with two shots to win the game.
Bishop England guard B.J. Grevey heated up early with eight-point first quarter that carried the Bishops to a 21-15 lead by the end of the opening frame. Grevey finished with 21 points leading all scorers. Ivan Fields added eight, and Taylor Howell and Dillon Corbett both turned in six.
Raptors star guard Tyree Moore scored 12 points but struggled with foul trouble, relegating him to the bench for most of the fourth quarter. Peter Hogan and Ben Sewell picked up the slack, combining for 30 points to lead Academic Magnets second-half charge.
We knew it was going to be a very hard-played second half, Coach Grevey said. It was very nice to see our kids rebound from the losses to Wando. Those games really helped us. That style of physical play showed our kids what they have to do to compete in that type of game. They took what they learned and didnt make the same mistakes.

If you're in the market for any kind of specialized service; you have to understand that you're basically shopping in a market. Just like in any kind of market, there're going to be a lot of selections out there, and this might at first seem like a good thing. But the problem is if you are shopping for a particular type of service in a large metropolitan area like Tampa or Los Angeles or Seattle, the choice might be overwhelming. The problem is not the freedom of choice but freedom from choice. You might reach a point where you wish that your shortlist is very short. This is especially true when you're looking for specialized pharmaceutical services like pain medication compounding, such as those offered at Trinity Pharmacy in Tampa.
The good news is that as long as you have a particular system and a particular method, you can go about choosing the right compounding clinic. It doesn't have to be a big mystery. It doesn't have to involve all sorts of tricky calculations or knowing the right people. You only need to pay attention to certain factors that would go a long way in ensuring you get the right kind of service you are expecting from the right compounding clinic.
Great training
One key hallmark of a high-quality compounding clinic is of course great training devoted to its staff members. Make no mistake about it, all sorts of problems can occur if people compound the wrong drugs for pain management. Either you don't get the kind of pain management that you're looking for or worse; you develop an addiction or your pain doesn't go away.
All sorts of problems can occur that's why it's very important you deal with a truly professional outfit that has a high level of training for all the people you will be interacting with. We're not just talking about the actual pharmacist who will be compounding your pain medication options but also the rank and file staff.
Great results
A compounding clinic is actually a very specific type of pharmaceutical outfit. It's n like a run-of-the-mill outfit that you get at any corner drugstore. No, this is a very specialized pharmaceutical service provider, and you have to insist on a track record of great results. At the very least, look for professional references. Look for some sort of objective evidence that this particular company develops solid results over an extended period of time.
Full regulatory compliance
As you probably already know, anything that involves highly habit-forming chemical compounds that might impact your direct health has to be highly regulated. This is a no-brainer.
The problem is many different companies deal with regulations in different ways. Others use a check box system. Others just basically look at a regulatory compliance as a matter of having the right checklist and dealing with it at the right time.
This is not the level of service you should be looking for. At the very least, you should look for a company that takes the whole regulatory compliance issue very seriously because you're not a statistic. If you overdose or if your pain doesn't get addressed by the compounded medication, you feel the pain. It's very real to you. No amount of checklist or compliance troubleshooting guidebook is going to make the problem go away.
So try to nip the problem in the bud by insisting on full regulatory compliance. You might want to ask the attending pharmacist a lot of pointed questions.

A friend of mine posted this on a website. I think it defines what a rainbow baby is clearly.
"A Rainbow Baby is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn't mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope†~unknown~

Lay Practice: Aligning All Activity with the Heart of Buddha
January 19 - March 30, 2013
led by
Abbess Kiku Christina Lehnherr
Entrusted Lay Teacher Dainin Marsha Angus
There is a story about our founder Shunryu Suzuki Roshi answering the phone in the office at City Center. When asked "What time does meditation begin?" He replied, "It never stops!" and hung up the phone.
It is with this attitude that we will be exploring all the activities that make up our daily lives. As lay practitioners we must create ways to help us stay present and awake in the midst of our activities throughout the day, so that we keep our intention fresh and clear in each moment. We will be inviting other Lay Entrusted Teachers to contribute to this endeavor, bringing inspiration and encouragement from their experiences on the lay path.
The practice period, including the one day sittings and the sesshin, will be accessible to people with a wide range of physical abilities.
The intention of a practice period is to offer each participant the guidance and support to increase their involvement in the elements of practice for a defined period of time. Urban practice requests an adaptable and durable effort that flows from one situation to the next; sometimes defined by traditional Zen formalities and sometimes defined by the unexpected occurrences of city life.
The practice period will begin with a
half-day Sitting
on January 19 and end with a
Seven-day Sesshin
, March 24 - March 30. For those participating in the practice period as residents, the fee for these events is included in the practice period fee.
In addition to daily zazen and service, each week there will be two Dharma talks, evening classes, a student talk, and a group discussion. Participants are encouraged to join both the morning and afternoon daily zazen practice whenever possible.
It is possible to take part in this practice period as a resident or as a non-resident. Please note that residential spaces are extremely limited. Non-resident participants may join the practice period at a level of commitment that is appropriate to their circumstances. All practice period participants are encouraged to discuss the details of their schedule with a City Center practice leader.
Through training in the formal setting of the City Center we discover how to bring the request of practice to the many circumstances of our life.
Residential Participation
Full: Including daily work practice at City Center: $1,591 shared room; $1,936 private room,
if available
Limited: For people working or attending school outside: $2,279 shared room; $2,627 private room,
if available

There is no doubt social media has its advantages. Businesses use it to promote their goods and services, share industry updates and showcase special events. Individuals rely on it to network and keep in touch with friends and relatives who live far away.
Yet while social media can be helpful in both professional and personal circles, Janene Holter, a special agent with the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, also warns it can be detrimental. During a recent workshop at KidsPeace, Holter challenged attendees to take a closer look at their social media strategies, asking questions like "What are your priorities and values?" "Who are your friends?" "Who are their friends?" For people working in the behavioral or mental health field, online "friends" should never be former clients.
By now, most social media users are savvy enough to realize that information posted online remains there forever. But did you know that once content is on social media, you no longer own it? Holter shared the story of a third-grade teacher who took a vacation to the Dominican Republic and posted some photos of herself on the beach to Facebook. The owner of a gentlemen's club saw one of the pictures and used it for the company's billboard, which happened to be a few blocks away from where the teacher worked. When she requested they take it down, the owner refused because once content is online the original poster no longer owns it. The teacher lost the fight and her job.
It's even more confusing for children and teenagers, who view burgeoning friend lists as a mark of their popularity. They are also more inclined to share personal information online or trust strangers who reach out to them.
"Social media is changing the dynamics of the definition of a friend," Holter said. "Unfortunately we are seeing that students feel invincible."
"Social media is changing the dynamics of the definition of a friend," Holter said. "Unfortunately we are seeing that students feel invincible."
And it is that false sense of security online that leads many young people into trouble. A teenager who would never get in a car with a stranger who pulled up outside her school connects with someone much older online and eventually agrees to meet in person. That was the case in "Alicia's story," one of many educational videos produced by the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General that share true stories. Alicia was a 13-year-old girl who lived near Pittsburgh. She befriended "Christine," 14, online, and the two began sharing intimate details of their lives. After a 13-month online friendship, "Christine" revealed herself to actually be a 38-year-old man. Alicia says she was angry and stopped talking to her for an hour or so, but she resumed the relationship because she still felt close to this person.
"He always made me feel pretty and special," Alicia recalls. "That's what every teenager wants."
"He always made me feel pretty and special," Alicia recalls. "That's what every teenager wants."
To make it up to her for lying, the man told Alicia he would pick her up and take her out in her neighborhood. At 6 p.m. on New Year's Day, Alicia walked out of her parents' home – without a coat, or money or a cell phone – to meet a total stranger. From the moment she got into his car, her life was forever changed. He took her to West Virginia, where for four days he and his friends kept her in a dog cage, chained to the floor, wearing a shock collar, as they raped, beat and tortured her. It was only after the ringleader videotaped the assaults, live streamed them online and someone saw the footage and called the authorities, that she was saved.
After she was rescued, her mom recalls that she was afraid of everything. She had flashbacks, she couldn't sleep alone and she had to be homeschooled.
"You do whatever you have to do to survive, no matter how painful or disgusting or humiliating that might be," Alicia said. "These people want a piece of you … and those pieces are really hard to get back. I'm still trying to find all of mine and glue them back together … My life will never be normal. There will always be something missing."
"You do whatever you have to do to survive, no matter how painful or disgusting or humiliating that might be," Alicia said. "These people want a piece of you … and those pieces are really hard to get back. I'm still trying to find all of mine and glue them back together … My life will never be normal. There will always be something missing."
"Unfortunately, there's a lot of Alicias out there," Holter said.
And even though Alicia's case is horrific, some are even worse. "Christina's story" tells the tale of a 13-year-old girl from Connecticut who moved in with her aunt in Pennsylvania when her parents got a divorce. Her aunt, in an effort to make her feel at home, got her a computer for her room – something Holter suggests never doing. Christina made many online friends, one of whom was a 24-year-old man whose wife was pregnant with their first child. They started meeting at the mall every Friday night, though Christina told her aunt she was meeting friends. One week, her aunt went to pick her up, and she wasn't there. Hours later, police found her body in a nearby stream. She had been strangled.
After looking at her Internet history, authorities were led to her attacker. Holter pointed out that their relationship started innocently, with the two talking and sharing information. Then, the man started promising Christina gifts or calling her "sexy." He asked her to send him suggestive pictures of herself. They met nine times before he killed her, and authorities were never certain what went precipitated her death. Even after Christina's killer was incarcerated, he continued to set up social profiles online in an attempt to get young girls to write to him.
Predators are willing to take as much time as they need to build a rapport with these children, and they are experts at mirroring the lives of their victims to create a sense of connection. Holter said a red flag for adults is if a child is closer to online friends than those in real life. She tells parents to ask their children often what they are doing online, what information they are sharing and who their friends are. Holter encourages parents to take away all electronic devices – laptops, tablets, phones – before children and teenagers go to bed at night since most online contact that could be dangerous occurs between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. She advocates that parents not only have all electronic passwords, but that they check them often to ensure their children haven't changed them. Aside from keeping parents in the loop, these passwords could be critical if a child does get into a dangerous situation because it can take days for authorities to be granted a search warrant to retrieve electronic information. Holter reminds parents it's not about invading children's privacy, but about offering protection.
"I don't care if they think you're violating their rights," she said.

Tucked, tooWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
It would have been a quiet and unremarkable death.
My doctor told me that although my body and skin had rebounded remarkably well from losing nearly 200 pounds since a September 2012 bariatric sleeve surgery, I undoubtedly qualified for the skin removal surgery and abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a "tummy tuck."
As I rapidly learned, referring to the procedure as an abdominoplasty elicited far more gravitas than calling it a tummy tuck.
All the walking, working out and smarter living during the past 18 months brought major changes, but the last vestiges of the old me still clung stubbornly in the shape of a spare tire of fat and loose skin that was as unsightly as it was uncomfortable. Prone to rashes and chafing, it was the one final reminder of my 400-pound life.
I scheduled the procedure for Feb. 24, approaching it with the confidence I'd earned through the success of the bariatric surgery.
I knew I had at least three major factors in my favor. I was in the best health of my adult life and physically fit for the surgery; I had worked especially carefully on toning my abdominal muscles, so the doctor said he would not need to cut and tighten the muscles themselves, as is common during a tummy tuck; and the surgery itself was performed by my University of Michigan surgeon as an outpatient procedure, not even requiring I stay the night. I would be in by 11 a.m. and home by 6 p.m., so how bad could it be?
I had been told it could be very bad indeed, by other weight-loss patients, by the doctors, by the testimonials I read on weight loss message boards. But I had also been told I would be out for a month after the sleeve surgery and would lose about 60 percent of my excess weight.
I bested that by two weeks and 30 percent, so I expected similar poster boy results from the tuck.
The commitment
The procedure went as planned and I was home less than 10 hours after I left.
So far, so good.
Except for the fact that I felt miserable. As I surveyed the extent of the procedure, all the warnings and cautions swirled in my head. The centerpiece was a 27-inch incision under my belt line from hip to hip, expertly stitched together but looking like I was Robert Shaw at the end of "Jaws," perforated in a perfect semicircle by the maw of a great white shark. Even on whatever wonder drug was pleasantly swirling through my veins, I felt the soreness of the incision.
My abdomen was swollen to twice its pre-surgery size, yet also flat and sculpted in a way it hasn't been since my high school football-playing days.
At the center of my new abdomen sat a brand-new bellybutton, created through an umbilicoplasty procedure as my old navel had been removed along with the excess skin and fat. That area was mostly numb and covered in gauze and surgical tape, so I had no idea what it looked like.
But the real aching misery lived, as it often does with men, in my groin. Two plastic tubes about 18 inches long sprouted from the area, leading to two hand grenade-shaped bulbs that were safety pinned in place, slowly filling with fluid that looked like blood. These were my two new pals, the Jackson-Pratt or "JP" vacuum drains that I would live with for at least two weeks.
They were the most visible sign of of tummy tucking, and they were tucking gross.
Keeping all this carnage in place was a flesh-tone "compression garment," an ultra-tight single piece — well, girdle, really — designed to clinch the abdomen with force to keep the swelling in check.
The effect of all this was a degree of discomfort and pain I never came close to experiencing from the bariatric sleeve surgery. But I was just hours after the surgery and while my confidence was shaken, I was sure I would bounce back with quickness.
We had prepared for a week or two of my living on the first floor, sleeping upright in a recliner (no lying flat or stretching the incision) and I had everything from books to my phone charger to the TV remote at my side, arranged to fight the boredom of inactivity.
In sickness and in health
Those first 10 post-surgery days brought slow progress, not much moving around and unexpected —and unaccustomed and unwelcome — depression. I have long felt guilty about allowing myself to balloon to 400 pounds, and the untold damage that recklessness took on my family and life. Even though that life is in my rearview mirror, it lingers on that receding horizon like an angry and cheated sunset, coloring everything in purples and crimsons.
This newest incapacitation brought back that guilt, watching my young sons worry and my wife carry the load for all of us. Shannon was my nurse, company and taskmaster, providing comfort, love and attention — the pleasant aspects of recuperating. But she also served dutifully through the grossest duties: changing and washing compression garments and maintaining the JP Drains.
That entails a three-times-a-day procedure of unpinning the drains, using an alcohol-soaked cloth to pinch and strip the plastic tubing, forcing stringy blood clots and drainage debris through to the bulbs, then draining them, measuring the output and disposing of the bloody mess.
Choosing a Valentine's Day card is one form of love; there is no Hallmark card for maintaining JP drains, but it became my habit to kiss my sweet wife's head as she quietly went about the gross, gross task of clearing them.
As the days passed, the depression deepened. For one thing, I hurt. For another, I was blue because the daily exercise that had filled an hour or two of nearly every day of my life for the past 18 months had been reduced to three 10-minute slow walks around the first floor.
I could feel my hard work on my leg and arm muscles melting away with the inactivity. But I was also haunted by buyer's remorse, uncertain that this surgery — unlike the bariatric sleeve surgery, which paid such great dividends — was worth the obstacle course of pains and problems. The swelling still distorted my abdomen, my new navel looked like a foreign element and the damned JP Drains freaked me out, protruding as they did from my body like Lovecraftian tentacles.
Worst of all, I hated being cooped up, largely confined to one room on one floor. I began to resent my cage and wished to be anywhere else.
'Til death do us part
I got my wish on the 11th day after the surgery. I woke up feeling fine but by 8 a.m. felt the unmistakable chills of a fever. There are a few danger signs of post-surgical complications and fever is a big red flag. I was at 102 degrees with no break from Tylenol when I called the clinic and spoke to a clinician who promised a nurse would call me back right away.
She did, 10 minutes later, with an urgent message for me to get to the clinic as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I passed out in my chair and missed the call. It was three hours later when I woke up, listened to the message and called my wife to tell her we needed to go.
At this point the fever was 103 and blinding in its intensity. At the clinic, the doctor inspected my incision and saw no outward sign of infection, but on the advice of my wife looked at the new colors of swirling debris in the JP drains and made immediate arrangements for me to be admitted to the University of Michigan Medical Center emergency room.
When I checked in, the fever was at 104.2 degrees and I have vague memories of feeling like I was swimming through hot Jell-O. The nurse took my blood pressure, frowned, checked it again, then wheeled over a manual unit and took it a third time.
All three measurements were the same: 74 over 48. In contrast, my heart was pounding, trying to compensate by working wildly at more than 120 beats per minute.
Sepsis is caused by the body's immune response to infection. As the body fights to the point of septic shock, organs begin shutting down. The ER team was frantically working around me but I was only dimly aware of what was happening and had no sense of danger.
My wife, who works in health care, knew exactly what was going on and was holding my hand and talking to me softly as I drifted in and out of consciousness. I had been pumped with three IV bags but the fever held, my blood pressure continued to crash and I was unable to urinate despite being pumped full of liters of saline.
It would have been a quiet and unremarkable death, but I was blissfully, ignorantly unaware of the danger.
I did not experience any bright lights, visions of dead relatives or see my life pass before my eyes. Jesus apparently had more important visits to make and his face did not appear before my eyes. I kinda sorta remember the hum of the CT scan tunnel and the stream of white-coated visitors, but most of what I know comes from my wife's reluctant descriptions.
The next thing I knew, it was a day later and I was in a hospital room, IV lines in both arms, legs encased in clot-fighting pressure cuffs and feeling a dreamy, foggy mindset courtesy of Norco, the new Vicodin.
I spent the first few waking hours absorbing the news and loudly complaining about being in a hospital bed. That first-floor living room suddenly seemed like a paradise to me.
My complaints were tempered when I heard why my roommate was hospitalized. Suffice it to say, his situation was a million times worse than mine. It's not my place to share his story here, but his heroic determination in the face of medical disaster taught me great perspective and humility.
The doctors did not find the specific source of the infection and kept me hospitalized two more days to monitor my progress.
I believe that in six months, when all is healed and in place, the choice to have the abdominoplasty will be a good one for my health and future. I will soon be back to walking and in my normal routines. I won't think of a tummy tuck infection as a near-death experience.
It would have been a quiet and unremarkable death, but I haven't worked this hard to do anything but go kicking and screaming.

Richard Strauss's Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks
"Once upon a time there was a knavish fool named Till Eulenspiegel. He was a wicked goblin up to new tricks…"
Thus Wilhelm Mauke begins the story of Till Eulenspiegel, a notorious medieval trickster often found in German folklore, in the program for Richard Strauss's Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche (Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks). Composed in 1894 and 1895, Till Eulenspiegel premiered on November 5, 1895, by the Gürzenich Orchestra of Cologne.
Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche is a musical portrait that Richard Strauss (1864–1949) described as a "rondeau form for large orchestra." Although it does not have an exactly repeating refrain as in a traditional rondo form, Strauss created a theme for Till which can be heard several times throughout the work; its first iteration is by the horns in the opening. Listen for how Till's theme transforms in each episode as he terrorizes the town, disrupts the townfolk, and eventually finds himself on the scaffold. Even as Till faces death, he whistles in its face, depicted by a high-pitched clarinet. The same dreamy, fairytale-like music from the beginning returns to conclude the work, as if to say "…and they lived happily ever after." But who really has the last laugh?
This recording is performed by Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice under the direction of Klaus Weise.

Walters State finishes second at Wasioto WindsSeptember 13, 2013
PINEVILLE, Ky. – The Walters State Senators golf team finished off a great showing to open their 2013-14 season Tuesday afternoon with a second place finish in the Wasioto Winds Fall Kickoff at Wasioto Winds Golf Course.
The Senators were boosted by the play of sophomore Brad Hawkins, who easily took home medalist honors in the 54-hole event. Hawkins led by two shots entering Tuesday's final round, but his final round score of even par 72 helped him close with a three-round score of 207 (9-under par) for a seven-shot win.
Walters State shot 884 (20-over par) for the three rounds to finish second behind team champion Tennessee-Martin. The Skyhawks shot 11-under par 853, including a 3-under par 285 in the final round, to win by 31 shots.
Murray State finished third at 888, followed by host Morehead State (889), Pikeville (904), Bellarmine (912) and Spalding (919) in the team standings.
Following Hawkins score, Elliott Taliaferro finished tied for 17th place with a score of 224 (8-over par) after shooting a final round 74. Cody Johnson had the low round of the day for the Senators, shooting a 2-under par 70 to finish the tournament at 228 and in 25th place.
Ryne Thompson shot a third round 75 to finish tied for 26th place with an overall score of 229, while Will Wright shot a 78 in Tuesday's round to finish up in 34th place with a score of 236.
The Senators will return to the links on Sept. 23-24 when they compete in the Tusculum Fall Invitational at Link Hills Country Club in Greeneville.

Wednesday, May 14, 2014
Keith Edward Sullivan of Emerald Isle, North Carolina drowned in the Sampit River off of Front Street earlier this year and this weekend his siblings will be honoring him by trying to save the lives of others.
Kenny Sullivan and his sisters Kelly Wyatt and Kim Oestereich will be in Georgetown Saturday distributing survival whistles that can be used by anyone who is in distress.
We will never know the exact course of events that led to Keiths death, but, we do believe that there is a chance that, had Keith worn a survival whistle at all times while on his boat, he may be alive today.
What we plan to do is tell Keiths story, encourage all boaters to always wear whistles while on the deck of a boat, and hand out the whistles, explains Wyatt.
Keith Sullivan was last seen alive on Jan. 12. He had been living on his sail boat that been anchored between Front Street and Goat Island.
His body was found in the river Feb. 8 about 300 yards from where the boat was anchored.
Kenny Sullivan said when he arrived in Georgetown after receiving the call about his brothers disappearance he knew the news was grim.
It had rained for a couple of days and we found the battery on his boat was dead. His laptop had been left out. I knew something was wrong, he said. He and life-long friend David Jones joined the Sheriffs Office and Coast Guard as they searched the area.
Sullivan and Jones found some of Keiths clothing on Goat Island.
He said the family feels Keith may have been trying to secure his dingy to his sailboat and fell into the river.
We assume he made a desperate attempt to get back on the boat. The cold water quickly disorients you. It takes your breath away. Witnesses say they heard someone yelling for help, Sullivan said. Because it was dark, Keith Sullivan could not be seen by other boaters or anyone on shore.
Sullivan said it appears his brother shed his clothing because they were weighing him down.
We knew quickly this was going to be a recovery not a rescue, Sullivan said. We wanted to recover the body for many reasons. Closure is the common word used.
Keith Sullivans body was found by Ronnie Campbell owner of Tow Boat U.S. Campbell had been friends with Sullivan for six years.
Whistle distribution
Sullivan said he and his sisters have hundreds of survival whistles, specially made with a picture of his brother, which they will hand out on Saturday.
We have the belief that if Keith had a survival whistle he may have survived. The Coast Guard strongly suggests boaters keep a whistle on them at all times, Sullivan said.
The whistles, Sullivan said, can be clipped to clothing or a life jacket. They can also be worn like a necklace with a lanyard.
He said the family is working with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and the Coast Guard Auxillary in the whistle distribution.
We want to show people how easy it is to wear the whistles. I know how easy it is to fall overboard. The whistles are very loud and lightweight. They attract attention to anyone needing help, he said.
We are doing this so what happened to our brother does not happen to anyone else.
The family will set up by the Town Clock on Front Street beginning at about 10 a.m. Saturday for the whistle distribution.
We plan to set up a table and speak with boaters, and others, on the waterfront, Wyatt said.
Keiths best friend from high school will share Keiths story through a poem he has written just for the occasion.

Forwards Nicklas Jensen (2G), Bill Sweatt, and Tim Miller scored for Chicago, which trails San Antonio 1-0 in the best-of-five series.
"We had many chances to win the game, but we couldn't do it," said Wolves head coach Craig MacTavish. "At the end of the day it is a stinger of a loss."
San Antonio (1-0) grabbed the overtime winner while on the power play. After a scramble around the net the puck came in the near circle to defenseman Coby Robak, who fired home a shot through traffic and past the outstretched glove of Wolves netminder Eddie Lack.
Chicago (0-1) opened scoring at 12:49 of the first period when center Jordan Schroeder controlled the puck in his own zone, skated up the ice and fired a rising shot that bounced off the shoulder of Sweatt and past San Antonio goaltender Jacob Markstrom.
San Antonio knotted the score less than two minutes later when right wing Bill Thomas held the puck behind the Wolves net and found center James Wright streaking off the bench and all alone in the high slot. He hammered a one-timer past Lack at 14:37.
The Wolves regained the lead 43 seconds later when Miller fed right wing Darren Haydar at the Rampage blue line and streaked into the slot, where Haydar returned the puck and Miller slipped a shot between the pads of Markstrom.
Chicago opened up a 3-1 lead with 1:05 left in the opening frame while on the power play. Haydar held the puck below the far goal line and found Jensen in the near circle. The 19-year-old rookie snapped a shot between Markstrom's pads.
Markstrom (1-0) posted 33 saves in regulation and overtime.
The Rampage cut the Wolves lead to 3-2 when center Jon Matsumoto won a puck battle behind the net and fed a pass to defenseman Drew Shore in front of the net. He slammed a one-timer through Lack's legs 5:12 into the second period.
Jensen regained the Wolves two-goal advantage at 8:01 of the middle frame with his second power-play marker of the game. Right wing Mark Mancari's shot hit the backboards, center Kevin Doell retrieved the rebound and found Jensen at the doorstep for a shot flipped just under the crossbar.
Matsumoto answered for San Antonio 2:23 later with a power-play tally of his own. Robak's shot from the near-circle was stopped by Lack, but the puck trickled through his pads and Matsumoto pounced on the rebound in the crease and tapped it into the empty net.
The Rampage made it 4-4 at 5:23 into the third period when Matsumoto led the charge on a two-on-one break and his shot deflected off a Wolves defenseman's stick before bouncing past Lack and over the goal line.
Lack (0-1) recorded 32 saves in regulation and overtime.
The Wolves will look to even the series when Chicago and San Antonio play Game 2 at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the AT&T Center.

But JP has visions of bread lines and soup kitchens. He believes that the mess brought on by the Economic Crisis is only the beginning. The Great Depression all over again. Maybe I shouldn't be talking of this here, bringing up a painful subject over dinner. But his prophecy of people standing in long lines up and down the street waiting for a bowl of soup has stirred up in me the desire to pull out my huge pressure-cooker and make a pot of hot, soothing, healthy and inexpensive soup. My own little Soup Kitchen to chase away the scary financial demons.
JP did grow up in the most practical of homes, his parents and grandparents having gone though the two World Wars in the north of France; being chased from their home, only to return at the end of the war to find their house destroyed, all possessions and personal treasures either gone or turned to dust. They struggled through the hardships of rebuilding and starting over after two World Wars, learning to scrimp and save, educating their children that it was a sin to throw anything away or waste even a crumb of bread.
He grew up learning to cook at the side of a woman who knew how to create delicious, homey meals out of the least expensive of products, recreating new meals out of yesterday's leftovers, cooking with local and seasonal products only, and, later on, using what was grown in their own garden. Nothing was thrown away, nothing was lost. She never took abundance for granted. Her cooking was plain and simple, filled with the good things of the earth and every mouthful was appreciated.
So I can understand why talk of Soup Kitchens and Bread Lines affects JP deep in his soul. Efficiency and common sense kick in. But we are a resilient people and hope is always hovering right behind the pull-'em-up-by-the-bootstraps hard work.
Here is a basic, simple and inexpensive Vegetable Soup recipe. Once you have the basic ingredients of onion and garlic, the rest you can make up with whatever is in season or whatever you like best. I usually always put in a couple of carrots and a couple zucchini, but after that I may never end up with the same soup twice. I usually use a large handful of green beans, but today a head of broccoli was 0.99€ and the green beans were 6 €/kg so I opted for the broccoli! I also love adding fresh pumpkin, cut into large chunks. You can also throw in any combination of fresh or dried herbs you like.
One word of warning : if you are going to purée this to have a smooth soup and you want to use potatoes, you will get the best results by puréeing by hand with a mill.
Using an electric one may turn your potatoes into a sticky paste.
SOUP KITCHEN SOUP to chase away the Economic Crisis Blues
You can make this for any number of people or enough to eat for a couple of days with extra to freeze by simply adding more vegetables. This is what I used today :
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 or 3 cloves garlic, chopped
Olive Oil
2 carrots
2 zucchini
10 oz (300 g) white mushrooms
1 small head of broccoli
Large handful of chopped fresh flat parsley
Salt and freshly grated black pepper
2 dried bay leaves and a few stems of thyme
1 chicken or vegetable bouillon cube (optional, but it does give a richness to the flavor of the soup)
1 can (14.5 oz, 400 g) of chopped tomatoes
Small can of white beans/cannelloni beans (or beans of choice), drained and rinsed
Clean, trim, peel (where necessary) all the vegetables and cut into chunks or thick coins. Chop the parsley.
Chop the onion and garlic.
In a large pressure-cooker, heat up a few tablespoons of Olive Oil. Add the onions and fry for a few minutes until shiny and translucent; add the chopped garlic and continue cooking for a minute or two until the garlic is soft and the onion is just starting to turn golden.
Toss in all of the vegetables except the canned beans. Add the canned chopped tomatoes, a generous shake of salt and ground pepper, the bay leaves and the thyme and parsley, the bouillon cube and cover with water.
Put the lid on tightly, bring to the boil, and when it comes to a full steam, turn the heat down to low and allow to pressure cook for 20 minutes.
At the end of the 20 minutes turn off the heat and allow the steam to escape. Now very carefully remove the lid (so as not to burn yourself with escaping steam). Remove the bay leaves and the stems from the thyme. Purée, if desired.
When smooth, add the beans, stir and reheat through before serving.
I made the most simple of croutons tonight; I trimmed and buttered both sides of plain white sandwich bread (I had nothing better) and fried in a dry, heated non-stick pan until they were browned on both sides. You can also serve this soup with grated cheese, whatever you like best!
And if you are wondering how economical it was to trim the bread, I can assure you that between me and Marty, they were not wasted! Just don't tell JP!

Being called Honey or Babe incenses me. Unless it is my husband (although as we are not a nickname kind of family, his calling me Honey or Babe or the horrid French Cherie! would, if anything, make me laugh). Or a girlfriend. Sunshine I kind of like if it is said in a spirit of generosity. Being whistled at from a stranger comes close to falling into this same category of taking liberties, and well, if it is meant as a compliment I do believe that I would accept it gracefully. If done as one would whistle at a bad dog or monkeys at the zoo then, well, no thank you. I despise when my sons call me Dude instead of Mom, I've had male doctors actually pat me on the head and say "Don't worry your little head with this, ma Kiki!" When my brother calls me Sis, I tend to shake at the knees, wondering what ultimate underlying intention is behind the outward affection. But what I love about nicknames, as normally averse as I am to them, as degrading and belittling as they can be if said by the wrong person or under the wrong circumstances, when inappropriate or said with a certain machismo, oozing insincerity, is the sense of inclusion they connote if said in just the right spirit by just the right person. I love the familiarity with which e-mails from a certain friend begin Good Morning, Hunny Bunny!; the intimacy inherent in the Bonjour, darling! from a male friend, much like an endearing bear hug; the sense of group and affection when referred to as Saucy by a special gang of gal pals. Jamela from two singular – and Jewish – girlfriends warms my heart the same way it always did whenever Dear Old Dad called me Bubbela.
So when I was recently called Babe by a group of friends and fellow bloggers, well knock me down with a feather I was absolutely thrilled! The Bread Baking Babes is, as the name implies, a group of a dozen passionate bakers dedicated to all things yeast. Each month a recipe is selected by the Host Kitchen of the Month (or shall we say Hostess?) and we bake along. The 16th of the month finds the recipe with the results on our blogs and then anyone is free to bake the same and earn the honor of being a Bread Baking Buddy, badge and all. I've been a Buddy a few times in the past – from the Pesto Parmesan Pine Nut Russian Rose Loaf to the Apple Kuchen, from the 5-Grain Bread with Walnuts to the Asparagus Bread and have loved baking with like-minded women, a virtual Koffee Klatch, sharing recipes, cups of coffee and gossip alongside the sharing of a great new recipe and baking tips.
So I am proud and honored to have been asked to join the group. And now you can call me Babe.

This month Elle selected these fantastic Jam FanTan Rolls. It is a very long process what with all the waiting, but each step is a cinch and a pleasure, fast and easy. Worth the doing if you have all day and other chores to fill up the in-between time. I got the yeast starter going at about 8 a.m. or so, made coffee, had breakfast, walked Marty and began my day. At about 10:30 a.m. I warmed the milk, butter and maple syrup gently and measured out the flours. The house was soon permeated with the buttery warm scent of maple and nutmeg and I began feeling as if I was in a log cabin among the pines, gingham apron tied snuggly around my waist. I blended and kneaded, gently, gently, soft and tender for no more than three minutes then placed the dough in an oiled bowl and pushed it to the back of the counter for just about two hours. By 12:30, after a quiet lunch, the dough had risen and puffed and was so simple, pliant and supple, to roll to the desired squares. Slathered thickly with sweet melted butter, dusted generously with cinnamon sugar or brushed with oodles of your favorite jam, sliced, stacked and nestled into muffin cups then elegantly (or messily) fanned out, the rolls are once again left to puff and rise, growing all out of proportion as if puffed up on compliments, rising to except the applause and then bowing ever so gracefully. Well, a tad bit more pompous than gracious, but so very well done! By 3 o'clock these babies, already threatening to tumble out of the muffin tins, attempting to slither out and about the kitchen, were slid into the hot oven. And were ready to serve for our traditional Quatre-Heure – the 4 o'clock snack.
Light, airy and delicate, the layers of each elephantine roll pull apart revealing a tender – a little bit fluffy, a little bit chewy, just right - texture infused with the flavors of whatever one chooses to brush onto the dough. One can add a glaze atop each roll much like a cinnamon bun but really wouldn't it be overkill? Husband and I each grab a Fantan or two, a cup of steaming milky coffee and settle down for the perfect snack; the simplicity of the not-too-sweet buns are just what we need to comfort and relax as we watch the pewter skies threaten snow, as we see the misty whiteness of the air through our windows.
I would like to share these Cinnamon Sugar & Jam Fantan Rolls with Susan of Wild Yeast for her weekly Yeastspotting!
I also would like to share the great news that Life's a Feast is now catalogued on the wonderful Eat Your Books website. Eat Your Books is like a large library devoted to food where thousands of cookbooks, cooking magazines and now select food blogs have been indexed by recipe. You will now be able to find a recipe in seconds, create your own bookshelf and join a forum where you can discuss, search and research.
SWEET CINNAMON-SUGAR or JAM FANTAN ROLLS
Makes 12
You will need a standard 12-cup muffin tin, buttered.
3-4 cups all-purpose flour, divided (I measure 135 g per cup)
1 cup whole wheat bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 package (8 g) of active dry yeast yeast mixed with ¼ cup (60 ml) warm water + ½ cup (67/68 g) all-purpose flour
1 cup non fat evaporated milk (see note*)
¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter
¼ cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
1 egg, lightly beaten
½ teaspoon vanilla
3 - 4 Tbs (45 – 60 g) unsalted butter, just melted
2/3 cup marmalade (about), warmed (see note**)
* I used ½ cup (125 ml) lowfat milk + ½ cup (125 ml) 0% fat fromage frais or fromage blanc; others have used half milk/half plain yogurt
** I used 3 rounded tablespoons of sour cherry jam for 6 of the Fantans and about 3 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar (1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for every 2 tablespoons granulated sugar) for the remaining 6 Fantans.
Prepare the yeast starter by blending the active dry yeast with the ¼ cup of warm water and ½ cup flour. Allow to activate for anywhere from 2 hours to 24 hours (I let mine sit for 2 hours; other Baking Babes have had successes with various times)
Sift 1 cup (135 g) of the all-purpose flour, the 1 cup (135 g) of whole wheat bread flour, salt, and nutmeg into a large mixing bowl. Stir until well blended. Set aside.
Place evaporated milk (or milk + fromage frais/yogurt), butter and maple syrup into a saucepan and heat until butter is nearly melted. Remove from heat. Stir a few minutes until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is cooled to tepid. 110° F / 45° C.
Add the frothy yeast mixture to the tepid milk mixture, then add the milk mixture to the flour mixture in a large mixing bowl; beat or whisk well to blend. Add the egg and vanilla; stir until blended. Add 1 ½ cups (200 g) all-purpose flour, stir until thoroughly incorporated. Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft, rather sticky dough; the rest of the flour use for keeping the work surface floured while kneading.
Turn the dough out onto the lightly floured surface. Knead 3 minutes or until dough is smooth and silky. (Add the additional flour while kneading, but only enough to keep it from sticking.) Place the dough in a cleaned oiled bowl, turn dough to lightly coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and set in a warm place to rise for 1 ½ to 2 hours.
Butter the 12 cups of a regular/standard muffin tin.
Dust your work surface with flour. Punch down the dough then halve it. Wrap one half in the plastic wrap and set aside. Roll the other half into a 12×12-inch (30.5×30.5 cm) square. You may have to roll slightly larger, and then trim the ends to even out the square. Brush dough with half the melted butter. Spread the surface of the dough with about 1/2 the warmed marmalade. Cut into 6 equal strips then stack the strips on top of each other. Cut through the layers into 6 equal pieces - you will now have 2-inch squares of dough stacked 6 high. Carefully place each set of squares into a buttered muffin cup, standing up so the layers are visible. Gently fan them open. Each will have six dough pieces with marmalade or other filling in between. Repeat with the remaining dough and the rest of the marmalade for the other six cups of the muffin tin. Make sure the 6 layers of dough are not sticking together.
Cover the tins with a piece of plastic wrap and then a clean tea/kitchen towel and let the rolls rise in a draft free spot at warm room temperature until the dough doubles, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
Preheat the oven to 375° F (190° C). Place the rack in the middle of the oven.
Remove the towel and the plastic wrap and bake the rolls in the preheated oven until they are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Watch the Fantans carefully for the last 10 minutes – the high sugar content in the jam can easily and quickly burn.
Remove from the oven to a cooking rack and cool in the pan 10 minutes, then remove the Fantans from the muffin tin and transfer to the cooling rack and allow to cool before serving. If desired, drizzle a glaze of 1 teaspoon milk whisked together with enough confectioners' sugar (icing sugar) to make a drizzle that is not too runny. Let dry before serving the rolls.

UFC Fight Night 29 bonuses: Palhares snubbed for sub awardhttp://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/10/ufc-fight-night-29-bonuses-palhares-snubbed-for-sub-award
– Dong Hyun Kim, Raphael Assuncao and T.J. Dillashaw each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Saturday's UFC Fight Night 29 event. But Rousimar Palhares watched $50,000 walk away "due to unsportsmanlike conduct."
Kim earned the "Knockout of the Night" and Assuncao and Dillashaw picked up "Fight of the Night" honors. Palhares, with the only submission on the card, should have won the "Submission of the Night" bonus. But because he continued to hold Mike Pierce's leg in the fight-ending ankle lock, UFC officials elected to not give him the bonus.
UFC officials announced the winners at the night's post-event news conference, which MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) attended.
Trainer: Brazilian commission to review Rousimar Palhares stoppage
The submission from Rousimar Palhares that brought a series of hard taps and a scream from UFC welterweight Mike Pierce is under review.
Pierce's trainer, Phil Claud, who is in Brazil with the fighter for tonight's UFC Fight Night 29 event, told MMAjunkie.com via text that the Brazilian MMA commission, Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA), is going to look at whether Palhares held on to the submission hold too long. (Watch the Palhares vs. Pierce finish.)
"It's 100 percent lack of professionalism on [Palhares'] part," Claud wrote.
Referee Keith Peterson moved to separate Palhares (15-5 MMA, 8-4 UFC) after Pierce (17-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) began tapping to an inverted heel-hook, which Palhares had cinched even before the two hit the mat. Palhares, however, held on to the hold for several seconds after Pierce's tap in the FOX Sports 1-televised bout.
The official time of the stoppage came at the 31-second mark of the first round.
Three years ago, the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board suspended Palhares for 90 days when it was determined he held a heel hook too long against Tomasz Drwal.
Although heel hooks can cause severe damage to the knee, Claud said Pierce's ankle is the joint that was primarily affected by the hold.
"I think he's OK, but we're going to get an MRI," Claud wrote.
And as for a potential rematch?
"We want to fight that motherf---er again!!" he wrote.
Twitter outrage pours in after Rousimar Palhares' submission of Mike Pierce
Brian Stann ✔ @BrianStann
This is a sport of professionals, when someone taps, let go….period. Ridiculous how many times this guy has done this
Mike Brown ✔ @mikebrownmma
Damn, as always toquino held that way to long...
4:49 PM - 9 Oct 2013
Brad Tavares ✔ @BradTavares
In my opinion palhares hangs on to his submissions a little too long, even with the ref trying to pull him off... He could potentially....
4:49 PM - 9 Oct 2013
jimi manuwa ✔ @POSTERBOYJM
"@DeathsquadBris: @POSTERBOYJM don't like him holding on too long when the opponents tapped though" definitely. What's up with him.
Derek Brunson ✔ @DerekBrunsonMMA
Mike Pierce tapped more than every fight combined in UFC history ! #UFCFightNight
Justin Buchholz @jbmma155
Dude that should be a DQ, that was blatant & not his first offense. That's worse then punching after the bell and K.O.'ing someone. #career
Kenny Florian ✔ @kennyflorian
Loved the submission that Toquihno hit on Pierece but don't like the way he held it. Has a history of that. Gets too excited out there.

Jack Cox of Graniteville has put over 1,000 miles in three weeks on the Dodge Challenger he received by entering non-winning Muscle Car Money lottery tickets in a second-chance lottery.
One of his $5 scratch-off tickets, entered in the South Carolina Education Lottery's second-chance promotion, was selected and Cox won his choice of four available muscle cars.
Black with white racing stripes, Cox said he's had loads of fun showing off his new Challenger around Graniteville.
"People stop me on the road to say how good it looks," Cox said.
To win a Muscle Car Money scratch-off ticket, a player must match their numbers to the four winning numbers.
Non-winning tickets may be entered into the state Education Lottery's second-chance promotion, during which five tickets are selected and the winners get to choose the muscle car of their choice, according to the lottery. The cars available to the winners are the Dodge Challenger, Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang GT and the Dodge Charger.
One player is selected to win the final grand cash prize of $100,000.
"Send in those tickets," Cox advised.
The final drawing to award another vehicle and a $100,000 grand prize is planned for Jan. 24, 2013. Enter online at www.sceducationlottery.com or by mail by Jan. 17, 2013, to be eligible.
Cox is one of four South Carolina Education Lottery winners selected to win a muscle car. Winners in Columbia, Lugoff and Simpsonville received new cars, too.
