Gulfstream Meeting Ends, Memories Linger
Gulfstream Meeting Ends, Memories Linger
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – The 2011 thoroughbred meeting at Gulfstream Park was undeniably a spectacular artistic success, providing a program of 33 graded stakes that was supported by the most talented fields in memory from beginning to end.
Usually when a venture is labeled an artistic success, it's used as an excuse to ease the disappointment of weak financial performance, but Gulfstream's 79-day meeting proved that the adjectives, artistic and financial, are not mutually exclusive when it comes to business.
The operative word for Gulfstream's winter thoroughbred celebration was action, both on the racetrack and at the mutuel windows.
Betting records tumbled as total handle increased approximately $50 million and on-track handle increased 13.6 percent. Meanwhile, a new standard was set in Gulfstream's building as attendance went up 11.2 percent over last year.
While setting numerous betting records – fueled by large, competitive fields and innovative wagers, such as the 10-cent Rainbow 6 and 50-cent Pick 5 – Gulfstream played host to the nation's brightest stars, most notably Dialed In, who will be the likely favorite for the Kentucky Derby (G1)at Churchill Downs on May 7.
The Nick Zito-trained 3-year-old colt stamped himself as a Derby prospect on Jan. 30, when he closed from last to capture the Holy Bull (G3) in only his second lifetime-race. Following an allowance tune-up against older horses, in which he narrowly lost to stablemate Equestrio, Dialed In rolled to victory in Gulfstream's signature race, the $1 million Florida Derby (G1) on April 3.
With his victories in the Holy Bull and Florida Derby, Dialed In will be eligible for the Preakness 5.5, in which he can reward his connections with $5.5 million in bonuses with a victory in the Preakness Stakes (G1) at Pimlico on May 21.
Dialed In was only one of several Kentucky Derby prospects that spent the winter at Palm Meadows. Soldat and Uncle Mo, who are expected to join Dialed In in the Kentucky Derby field, made the trip from Gulfstream's satellite training facility in Boynton Beach to score stakes victories. Soldat drew off to a powerful victory in the Fountain of Youth (G2) on Feb. 16 and Uncle Mo, the 2010 juvenile champion, made a triumphant 3-year-old debut in the Timely Writer Stakes on March 12.
In the 3-year-old filly division, Todd Pletcher-trained R Heat Lightning established herself as the one to beat in the Kentucky Oaks (G1) on May 6 with a smashing victory in the Gulfstream Park Oaks (G2) on April 2. The 8 ¼-l;ength triumph highlighted Ladies' Day, which benefited the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Although 3-year-olds are in the spotlight at Gulfstream, brilliant performances certainly weren't limited to the sophomore class.
Chris Block-trained Giant Oak captured the most prestigious race for older horses with a memorable stretch run in the Donn Handicap (G1) on Feb.5. Tackleberry, though, showed the most versatility among older horses while winning three major stakes: the Sunshine Millions Classic on Jan. 29, the Gulfstream Park Sprint (G2) on Feb. 12 and Gulfstream Park Handicap (G2).
On the sprint side, Big Drama followed up his 2010 Eclipse Award-winning season and victory in the Breeders' Cup Sprint with a track record-breaking triumph in the Mr. Prospector (G3) on Jan. 15.
On the distaff side, Awesome Maria captured the ruled as the clear leader in the older filly or mare division with victories in the Rampart (G3) on April 2 and Sabin (G3). Stablemate Hilda's Passion was the top female sprinter with victories in the Inside Information (G3) on March 19 and Hurricane Bertie (G3) on Feb. 13.
Little Mike distinguished himself as the only three-time graded-stakes winner with front-running performances on turf in the Appleton (G3) on April 3, Canadian Turf (G3)on Feb. 27 and the Ft. Lauderdale (G3) on Jan. 9.
While their exploits are now part of Gulfstream history, the above-mentioned horses will give the fans of the Hallandale Beach track many rooting interests through the racing year until they return for a brand-new meeting on Dec. 3.

Why do yesterday's tasks appear under today's date?
Tasks that are due yesterday should appear in the today or next seven days, which they do. The problem is that they don't show under a section heading of yesterday, they show as being due today, which is misleading.
I just want it to work exactly like the website, so I don't have to get used to silly quirks like this. I would like to be able to trust that stuff that falls under today's date header is actually due today, and not yesterday or tomorrow.
All responses
Hello Pete,
Overdue tasks show up under the same date heading on all platforms. Please make sure that your Android device and our Android app both use the same and correct time zone (especially now after the DST change).
Best regards,
My settings are all set to London, and always have been. It only affected tasks that were due on the 30th. I.e. those due before BST kicked in. All tasks now seem fine though, so I'll put it down to some weird quirk with the DST code in the android app. :-)

BOSTON, Mass.-- Suffolk University senior forward Dan Pencinger is one of 12 semi-finalists for the prestigious Joe Concannon Award that is presented annually to the top American born player at the Division II/III levels. The Concannon Award receipient will be announced next month and will be presented by The Gridiron Club of Boston, as the award is named in honor of the late Joe Concannon, the longtime sportswriter for The Boston Globe.
A native of Randolph, N.J., Pencinger leads the Rams in goals with 21 and ranks second in scoring with 33 points in 24 games to date, as he became the 10th player to reach both the 50-goal and 100-career point plateaus in school history during December outings against Worcester State and Southern New Hampshire, respectively. In 78 career contests, Pencinger has netted 62 goals and 50 assists for 112 points while earning both ECAC Northeast and all-New England accolades along the way.
Pencinger has helped lead Suffolk to its first post-season berth in four seasons and just its second ECAC Northeast playoff bid ever this winter, as the Rams finished the regular season with 12 victories and a school-record 10 triumphs in league play. Suffolk is seeded fifth in the 2008 ECAC Northeast Championships and will take on fourth-seeded Wentworth on Sunday evening in league quarterfinal round action at Matthews Arena across town beginning at 6:00 p.m. EST.

The Paraclete XP Outdoor Skydiving Championship/Shamrock Showdown wrapped up midday Sunday in sunny Deland, Florida. While this meet takes place in Florida, it has attracted more international teams than the years prior. In fact, there were more international teams than US teams in attendance. Many of these teams will meet again in Dubai 2012, making this competition even more interesting.
Once again, GKF4 went up against the female teams from Norway and France. The only newcomer to the scene was the Canadian team, Crimson Fox. While Crimson Fox is a relatively new team, they put on a good showing and have earned the official distinction as the first Canadian National Female 4-way Team.
At the World Parachuting Cup in August 2011, France, Norway and GKF4 competed under similar circumstances. At that competition, France took first and Norway took third over GKF4, who placed fourth. This competition's standings ended up the same with France in first, Norway in second and GKF4 in third. While the spread between first and second was not as close, the battle for second was fierce, especially in the last three rounds, won by GKF4. In the end, Norway took second over GKF4 by one point.
The 8way battle between the Golden Knights (Team USA) and Russia ended Sunday with GK8 coming out on top. After 10 rounds the GK8 scored 219 points- 28 points ahead of the Russians. GK8 jumped out to an early lead on Saturday, winning the first 3 rounds of competition by 3 points each. The Russians were certainly not beat, as they went on to tie GK8 in rounds 4,5, and 6. On Sunday morning GK8 won rounds 7 and 8 by 4 and 7 points respectively. Round 9 presented a possible world record sequence of formations. The current 8way single round record of 31 points was set by the Golden Knights in 1997 and still stands today. GK8 tied that record on round 9 with 31 points in 50 seconds of freefall, but were deducted 2 points for an incomplete formation and incomplete separation. The Russian Team built 30 formations in time, but were also deducted 1 point resulting in another tie between GK8 and Russia. The Knights went on to win the final round by 6 points after Russia experienced a mid-air collision. The 21.9 average is a new Team best for GK8 in competition.
Following the Competition, GK8 presented the Russian 8way team with a Golden Knight Sword and plaque which reads "Friends, Comrades, Competitors". SFC Brian Krause and SFC Sean Sweeney went on to explain the significance of the Sword and to express our appreciation for their long travels and commitment to competition. Competition history between USA and Russia goes back over 50 years, and will surely continue.
GK8 and GKF4 have returned to Fort Bragg, NC and, after a Safety Day of our own, the training will continue. Dubai 2012, here we come! Blue skies!

Best leveling kit option?
I want to level the front of my truck to run bigger tires being as money is kinda on a budget otherwise i'd get a 4inch lift but this is the next best option.
Option 1:
Am I better off getting this kit which includes front leaf springs, track bar, u-bolts, shocks etc for $450.
I'd bump up the options for the better shocks and get the dual steering stabilizer all for $600.

I want to run LT315/75/R16 Nitto Trail Grapplers (35" dia)
Can I run that on stock height now or will I need the leveling kit. As with the rough country kit the suggested size is 305 but Nitto doesn't make that size and the 315's offer the highest specs. When I look online I hear mixed stories of them fitting, fitting with rubbing or not fitting at all.
If someone could please help that would be great and suggest me more products that would make the cost cheaper and better.

Todd Clement had a dream when he founded Wide Open Baja in 1997 – that anyone should be able to experience the thrill of driving a good off-road buggy and see the beautiful, unspoiled, and largely uninhabited areas of Mexico's Baja Peninsula.
Since then more than 14,000 customers have driven and ridden in the specially designed and built Wide Open buggies. In all, they have traversed more than 4.5 million miles on the tracks and open deserts of Baja.
Each buggy seats two people, and the experience is not bone-jarring, thanks to tremendous suspension travel, large tires, and suspended race seats. Yes, customers get dirty, and they are covered in dust. But at the end of a long day of driving, they enjoy good local food, good company, and a beer or two.
Two different four-day tours are available. The northern one originates from and returns to Wide Open's Horsepower Ranch outside Ensenada. It is the more authentic excursion. The southern one runs to or from Cabo San Lucas at the tip of the peninsular to Mulegé on the Sea of Cortez side. The scenery in the south is quite different from the north, and, because there are more hotels from which to choose, each night's accommodations is more luxurious than those available for participants on the northern tour.
Several seven-day excursions are organized during the year in which participants drive all the way down the peninsula from Ensenada to Cabo San Lucas, following much of the Baja 1000 race course.
Prices for excursions start at $1,695, and all-inclusive tours run about $1,000 per day per person. Every participant is expected to share driving and co-driving with a partner. Co-driving can be just as much fun, because there is plenty to do, such as tracking the GPS and manning the radio to stay in contact with other participants. Each excursion is led by an experienced off-road race driver, and a support crew follows to take care of punctures and untoward mishaps.
Participants are expected to pay for any damage caused by accidents. Insurance is offered for $300, with a $3,000 deductible.
The Experience
Driving one of these cars is not for the timid, but it seems that those who do participate come away enthralled with the experience. For that reason, many companies, including a couple of car manufacturers, have sent teams of employees on excursions as a way to build team spirit.
The cars are also safe, and there have only been a few minor injuries over the years. "The most serious injuries are some serious damage done to egos," said Jim Hancock, a consultant marketing guru for Wide Open. "And, women often do better than men, as they have more patience."
Naturally, renting a buggy to compete in the Baja Challenge class in the Baja 1000 race costs more than the regular excursions. On the other hand, many of the teams end up with four or even five drives, so the cost can be split.
Future Plans
For 2010, there are plans to expand the Wide Open experience with a new center for excursions in the Nevada desert. As in Baja, these cars will be available for individuals and groups but will not be used for races.

I've started a quilt and am getting ready to sew the baffles and have a question. Should I hem up the ends of the no-seeum and then sew them in or just sew and leave the loose ends of the mesh? I have 12 oz. of down and the baffles are spaced just over 5 in. apart. Any ideas on how high to make the baffles? I was thinking around 2.25 in. Suggestions are welcomed.Also, I really would like to put a head hole in it like the JRB quilts but am not sure what the best way to go about doing that would be. Any suggestions?Here is my progress so far:
Edited by drewnc2005 on 05/24/2007 21:23:42 MDT.
A round head hole is harder to sew and will require a tall collar with a drawstring to seal, and the collar will likely be thinner than 2.5 to 3 " loft of the quilt top. A 23-24 inch slit opening (try and measure before you cut, you can always open it up more if need be)can be sealed along it's line with no-snag velcro. A flat collar will tend to fill the pinched cold spot that the slit forms and probably be warmer than a round head hole. The slit opening may not be optimally located halfway down the bag; try mocking it up in plastic of cheap fabric.2.25 inch sewn baffle height will give you almost 3 inches of loft in the puffy center if you have enough down. At that thickness, a differential cut might be of some use. Also baffles that curve. Anything to allow the down to loft freely. No-see-um netting is knit, so it shouldn't unravel or need ends hemmed. If you are just stitching the liner and shell together you can trim the netting that sticks out. I recommend that. Sewing end baffles is hard and the pinched edge doesn't loose too much warmth.12 oz of 800 fill down should loft freely to fill 9600 cubic inches. In practice the down may not reach that free loft if your design put's stresses into the shell. I assume you are using 800 fill down from thru-hiker. 12oz in a quilt can easily give you 2 -3 " of loft. How warm the quilt is at those lofts starts to be dominated by volume and draft resistance, how well sealed, your sleeping style, pad insulation, etc.I hope this helps. Good looking house wolf ;-)
Ok...so I'm almost finished with the quilt. I've sewn in all of the baffles and sewn up three sides (leaving one long one) and am about to start stuffing down. That's when I realized I need a SCALE!QUESTION: Where do I get one? Any recommendations on what brand, model, etc.? I guess I'll need one that will be fairly sensitive (maybe .1 oz.)?Thanks in advance for the help...PSNeil, thanks for the tips - they came in handy while making the quilt.
Hey Drew,I wish I saw this post earlier.I could have saved you a ton of time that it looks like you sent on it, (and some unnecessary weight as well). Go to E-bay for the scale.There are several types with good descriptions of them.I can at least tell you a good way not to get down all over the place.Use the back corner of your bathroom and tape up a large trash bag on both sides, (about a foot and a half up) letting it hang a little where it will face you.Fill the trash bag up about half way or even a little more as long as its not spilling over.Use a vacuum extension to stuff your down into and something like a broom handle to push it out into the bottom of each void.All you need to do is put the vacuum attachment on the scale before you turn it on and it will zero out so you don't have to adjust for the weight of the attachment.The trash bag makes a dead air space for the down.I managed to only spill 2 lofted cups worth of down on my last project.

Aaron,I wish you would have seen this thread earlier, too! I didn't figure out a way to save my down until my last two baffles. Oh well - I know for next time.Anyway, here is a picture of the quilt stuffed and ready for finishing touches (seams, velcro, drawcords, etc.)
Do you have a picture of the finished product. The last photo looked cool but there were still a couple of steps to go to finish.Where did you buy your nylon? What kind is it?
Scott, I cant say how thrilled I am with the service and timely responses to my questions (such as yours) that I have recieved from AYCE (paul) at Thru-hiker. It seems to me to be one of the better fabric sources. When it comes to down, go to Ed Speer- his 900 down is fantastic! I used 2 oz to overstuff a JrB sniveller (at 10 baffles, 5.7 g each) and it lofted up perfectly. The extra 2 oz of Speer's down (which came with a lab certified 927fp document) filled all of the open space in each baffle but without hampering the loft- I measured an even 3 1/2 inches (a 1 inch gain in loft, overall for a mere 2 ounces) over the past few "field" uses, finding at least a 12-15 degree temp gain. This quilt will easily push 25 degrees for me. Im a cold sleeper. Anyway, Speer isnt paying me to advertise any more than I already have :) so just buy it. Momentum 90- ripstop from Thru-Hiker. I like it. another idea, use your gram scale with a small trash can (bathroom size)on it and place Speer's 3oz. down bag inside. Weigh the whole mess and use a vaccuum hose w/ a piece of taped pantyhose at the end, where the hose attaches to the vaccuum. when you suck enough down to fill a chamber, the scale will give your measurement in - (negative) weight. Remove the hose and tap, or blow the down into the chamber. Tare the scale and repeat. This method lost maybe 20 down clusters that were easily sucked from the air without confining yourself to a tent, a bathroom or any other silly method. Pick a big a workspace as you want. I used a small 1 gallon shop vac with a 2" by 20" hose extension. *note: dont use a powerful shop vac for this method! dont taste the down! It doesnt taste like chicken!

I am new to the website and have just signed up but have been looking at reviews for a few weeks now.
I have an issue with my sewing machine and I am hoping someone can help.
It is a toyota quiltmaster.
When I am sewing the bottom thread is really loose and just sits on the fabric, the top thread then has very large loops around it. Whatever settings I try there is just lots of loops and mess on the back of the fabric. The top looks absolutley fine.
I have checked the manual, and it says this happens because the bottom tension is too low and I should move the tension dial to a higher number. However when I do that, the problem gets even worse. I have been through all the tension settings 0-9 and none of then fix the issue. If I sew on a 0 or 1 setting it is not as bad, but still not sewing a secure seam.
On other websites it suggests it is normal to sew in the middle of the range a 4 to a 5.
It has been like this on and off for about a month and sometimes I get it to a bereable setting, but it keeps happening.
Should I maybe look to get it serviced, I have had it for about 2 years and never serviced it, but I would say it doesn't get used a lot.
I have cleaned out the dust and fluff recently.
Any help appreciated!
When the bobbin thread is "flat-lining", lyng flat against the fabric, and the top thread is being pulled all the way through to the back of the fabric, your top thread tension is too low, or your bobbin tension is too high.
In your situation, the bobbin tension isn't too loose, it's too tight, at least as compard to the top thread tension, and is overpowering the top thread.
Could be caused by incorrect threading; unthread completely and rethread, ensuring the presser foot is fully raised during the threading. Otherwise the top thread may not seat properly within the tension discs.
The bobbin case screw could need to be adjusted slightly.
And that's about the extent of my knowledge...beyond that, I call for my tech.
Welcome to PR.

Thread the machine with the presser foot up.
Adjust the upper tension with the presser foot down.

A mess of loops on the underside of your work almost always indicates insufficient top tension. Start by rethreading the machine entirely - as someone noted, if you have the presser foot UP when you do this, it is easy to ensure that the thread gets securely into the tension discs.

Edited to add: Welcome to PR!
Have you switched thread types? Does that make any difference? Is your bobbin evenly wound? Does it happen when the bobbin gets low? Also you may want to use 2 colors of the EXACT same thread type and brand just to be sure you can tell the top thread from the bobbin thread.
And IF all other suggestions fail, it may be time to start playing with your bobbin tension. That can be really tedious and once started you are unlikely to ever get it back to where you started. You would put your top tension on 4-5 and then turn the bobbin set screw clockwise a bit and test each time. I am fairly certain you want to go clockwise which will tighten it but I am sure another PR member will correct me if I'm wrong.
If no improvement after a few bobbin tweaks you will need to take it in for service- with a sample. -- Edited on 8/26/13 7:26 AM --
------sewing brings joy and meaning to my life...
Floss between your upper tension discs....there could be lint or a tiny piece of thread in there holding them apart. Loops on the underside mean your top tension is too loose....lint or thread in there would cause this.
Thanks everyone for your advice. I will have a sit down over the weekend and try this all out.
I did try changing threads, and the problem was alot better when I was using gutterman threads compared to some cheaper thread I had. I usually use the same thread on the top and bottom.
I will try some of the adjustments and hopefully get these sorted.
Hello kaod55. Glad you are here and hope a solution to this will soon be found.
Do you have your sm's manual? It's a good practice when re-threading to look up the threading instructions in the manual...anyone can have a glitch and misdirect the threading path or miss a thread guide...even we oldies (but goodies) do it more often than we admit. LOL "oldie" is not (necessarily) referring to age...just meaning sewing experience.
Check thread and needle for correct match to fabric type and # of layers. Make sure needle is not too large to use in your sm...check its manual...some machines can only use size up to a size 16...so can not use a size 18 needle.
Change the needle to a fresh one...the one in use may be slightly bent or the tip may be worn. Be sure to not use a Universal or Ball tip needle when the project actually needs a sharp point.
Look at the manual's instructions at the same time as re-threading. Same goes for re-threading the bobbin case...look at the manual while inserting the bobbin and threading the bobbin case. Make sure the bobbin thread is placed in its case going in the correct direction for it's bobbin system. For horizontal bobbin systems the bobbin thread should unwind counter clockwise...and for a vertical bobbin system the thread should unwind clockwise.
Check that the correct spool cap size is being used for the size of the thread spool if your sm has a horizontal thread delivery and that the thread spool and cap are against each other the way the manual instructs.
With either horizontal or vertical thread delivery make sure upper thread is not puddling or twisting around the base or underneath the thread spool...also make sure the thread isn't catching the spool's "notch" if it has one. If using a vertical spool pin...be sure to use a spool felt under the thread spool (that is more important than most of us realize). If the spool felt has gotten thin and worn...get a new one...in a pinch cut one out of felt or some thick fleece.
As others have mentioned...do upper thread with presser foot up...set tension with presser foot down (on fabric) start with setting at 4...sew a few inches...look under the fabric (use a double layer even for testing)...change setting to mid-way between 4 and 5..then sew a few more inches...check underneath again...if needed set tension to 6...sew again.
If still a problem...then IF your sm has presser foot pressure adjustment then look in your sm manual for what level to set it for the project fabric.
Be sure to only manually turn the handwheel toward you...not away from you...that can make the upper thread slip out of the thread uptake lever.
If I can remember anything more later on...I will edit this post.
-- Edited on 8/30/13 11:43 PM --
Are you using black thread? Black thread can create problems in many machines.

So here is my latest I2Q VidPrompt #3: ATC's
Use techniques found in the my book Inspired to Quilt to create Artist Trading Cards to trade with me and fellow readers at the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach. I used the heart motif in 4 different ways to create these super quick Artist Trading Cards. I am going to take a buch of cards with me to the show and encourage you to do the same! I would like to meet up and trade if you want to, wanna say Saturday? I need to see when I am scheduled to do Open Studios and a Book signing, so I will nail down specifics. Will you leave a comment if you plan to meet up?I am going to give these four cards, featured in the video as special prizes
This 'Lucky' card will go to the first male quilter who asks to trade a card with me. If there are no male quilters, then it will go to a Lucky duck at our meet up
This, 'Love Springs Up', ATC will go to the person who brings the most cards to trade
'Flight of Fancy' will go to the person who uses the most techniques in a single card
'Tattoo you' will go to the first person who creates a set of four ATC's using a single motif, as I did in this Video Prompt.
So are you gonna play? Leave a comment to say I will see you in Long Beach!
Today our family lost a well loved member:
Monk passed into the romping hills of cat love today. He was with us for 15 good, long years. He was and is well loved and we mourn his passing.
oh, sweet Monk. He will be missed and he knows he is immortalized in the artwork you've featured him.
Such wonderful pictures of Monk. He looks like he was such a sweetheart. You have my deepest sympathy.
I wish I could join you with the ATC exchange in Long Beach. I will be visiting my sister in SF during that time - so close and yet so far away! Have a great time. I can't wait to try out some ATC's. I also owe someone a postcard so I need to make one of those too! Thanks for the great inspiration.
My daughter and I made our own "leather" covered art journals today and I can't wait to fill mine up. Pictures of our journals will be up on my blog on Monday. We had a great time making them together.
Thanks guys! Your comments mean a lot to me.
Melly-Mels: Holding warm thoughts of you - just got back from out of town and up to here with work - so just read about Monk's passing. Guardian angel-pet I'm sure of it. ((HUGS)) Kate & the ArtDog-Person
Just posted progress shots of my ATCs. I hope to get them stitched over the weekend. They are on Flickr here:
HI! I am brand new to the site and I love your work!:) I was wondering what you painted on in the video prompt 3 to make the overlay for your atc's. It looked like a sheer fabric but I waan't sure because it also looked like it was used to fuse the cards together. Can you clarify?

Brother Brokendice's dice game?
Post Reply
Return to board index
Post by
Does anybody know what real-world game looks like the game Ji-Lu the Lucky and Brother Brokendice are playing in the inn at One Keg? It looks like a gambling game with dice and dominos, played in a large dish so that the dice won't roll away.
Post by
Could it be
Pai Gow
From the description of "dice and dominoes", and the fact that it is a Chinese gambling game kind of make me believe it is.

Doctors report one of the most common mistakes patients with migraines and other headaches make is not mentioning them sooner. When is it time to make an appointment? When your headaches include any of the following:
- Are severe or frequent enough to disrupt your life, work, or education
- Last between 4 and 72 hours
- Are accompanied by nausea or sensitivity to light or noise
- Do not respond to over the counter pain medication or return soon after they wear off
- Require medication more than two days per week
- Are sudden and severe
- Occur with fever, stiff neck, or uncontrollable vomiting
- Cause confusion or loss of consciousness
- Are persistent, and you've previously been headache free
- Are accompanied by numbness, weakness, or vision loss
- Begin after the age of fifty years
- Begin after head injury or other trauma
In most cases, your general practitioner is the best person to speak with about your headaches. He or she may refer you to a headache specialist, or order additional tests if it's unclear whether your headaches are migraines or not. It's important to remember that most of these tests don't diagnose migraines. Instead they are used to make sure something else isn't the cause of your pain. Tests may (but won't always) include:
- A CT scan (a three-dimensional X-ray)
- A MRI (a three-dimensional image made using a magnetic field)
- An electroencephalogram or EEG (a recording of brain waves)
- A spinal tap (removal of a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid with a thin needle)
- An electromyogram or EMG. (a recording of the electrical activity of selected muscle groups)
- A biopsy of the arteries in the head (collecting a piece of the artery and examining it under the microscope)
- Tests for levels of certain drugs or toxins in the blood
- X-rays of the head
In order to get the most out of your appointment, be prepared to provide as much information about your headaches as you can. Your doctor will need to rely on your descriptions of what is happening in order to decode the problem. For example, make sure you can describe:
- How often your headaches occur
- How long they last
- When you first noticed these headaches (Recently? As a child?)
- All of the symptoms that occur along with your headaches (nausea, sensitivity to noise or light, etc.)
- Where exactly you feel the pain (on one side, both sides, to the front or back of the skull, etc.)
- Any patterns you have noticed that may be connected to your headaches (eating certain foods, the time of day when they occur, a link to hormonal cycles for women, an increase in headaches under stress, etc.)
- What medications (prescription, over the counter, or alternative) you have tried, and how well they have worked
- Any family history of headaches
- Any tests you have had in the past for your headaches and the results
- Any questions you may have related to your headaches
You and your doctor will have a lot of information to cover during your appointment, which may last as little as 20 minutes. Make the most of that time by being ready to discuss the topics above and keeping the conversation focused on your headaches, their symptoms, and what you can do to manage them.
After reviewing your symptoms and ruling out other possible causes for your headaches, your doctor will recommend a plan for managing your headaches. Don't be afraid to ask questions about your treatment plan if you do not understand what to do.
Your doctor may also ask you to keep a headache diary once treatment begins, and to report back how well things are going. If the first treatment your doctor recommends doesn't seem to be working, do not hesitate to make another appointment. It's possible you may need to try several treatment options before you and your doctor find the right one for you.
In short: you don't have to just live with headache pain. If what you're doing now isn't working, make the appointment today.

Leaps and gowns: Reid Scroggins balances artistic, athletic interests
Reid Scroggins will attend Lubbock Christian University to pursue of a business degree.
He is the son of Kevin and Sam Scroggins of Cisco. Reid was a second-team all-state selection in Class 2A offensive lineman for the state runner-up Loboes football team, along with being a varsity letterman in tennis. He also was the head drum major of the Mighty Lobo Band. He is a state solo and ensemble qualifier. Reid is a perennial cast member for the Cisco High one-act play and honored this year with a honorable mention on the district all-star cast for his performance in "Do Not Go Gentle." He is an officer in the National Honor Society and Fellowship Christian Athletes officer, and he was named Most Creative by Cisco High's Class of 2012.
In addition to being a second-team all-state offensive lineman for the football team, tennis player, head drum major and frequent one-act play cast member, Reid Scroggins also likes to show off his creative side by changing his hair color — often.
In fact, one time the 6-foot-2, 265-pounder and Kendra Parsley were kidded for inadvertently changing their hair color to the same hue.
Reid's father, Kevin, said his son likely was the only tennis player who could bench almost 300 pounds and squat 485 pounds. His father said his son probably was one of the few football players who spent his halftime leading the school's marching band.
"You should've seen him," Kevin Scroggins said. "He'd take off his (shoulder) pads and play in the band dripping sweat, then go back to the locker room and come back and play."
Reid's active schedule helped him become one of the most popular seniors in the school, said Amy Dodson, Cisco High's learning resources director. Reid was voted King Lobo as part of the high school's annual Coronation program in November.
"Everybody loves Reid," Amy Dodson said. "If it's a popularity contest, don't even try as Reid will win it."
However, public school life wasn't always so joyous for Reid. He said his parents took him out of public school after first grade because he was bullied. He was home-schooled until fifth grade.
"It was such a transition," Reid said of returning to public school. "I didn't have the height back then, I just had the size and that brought all sorts of teasing. But I told my mom I wouldn't change it if I could because it's made me the person I am today. I have a lot thicker skin and much more determined now to succeed in my career and life, and to definitely not treat people the way I was."
Some of that more gentle giant side is seen after he eats his lunch each day. Reid helps mentor first-graders that his mother teaches at Cisco Elementary.
Although the Lobo Early Achievement Program has been difficult, Reid said he'd highly recommended it.
"It's a lot of commitment and work, which is what you have to be aware of if you want to take it on, but, in the end, it's definitely worth it," Reid said. "Financially, it's definitely worth it because the classes are cheaper because it's coming from a junior college and it's given me a two-year head start on other college students."
Although he's proud and honored for all his high school achievements, Reid said he'll be ready to move forward in his life. "High school was a good time, but I'm not going to live with what I did in high school," Reid said of when he leaves for college.

Not just among the top 10, or an elite guy, but the best -- territory that is normally reserved for guys like Sidney Crosby and Pavel Datsyuk. Backstrom's point total had risen substantially in each of his first three seasons, and his work at the defensive end was starting to generate some "future Selke Trophy candidate" arguments.
Like most of the top players on the Washington Capitals, Backstrom's 2010-11 season went awry. His production swooned to 18 goals and 65 points -- hardly a bad year for some, but absolutely for a guy with his track record and potential.
"It was really frustrating, actually," Backstrom said. "At the same time, I don't even want to talk about it because it just gets me upset. It is a new season now and I'm just looking forward to the new season and a big year for us."
If it was already a disappointing year by March, it managed to get worse. Backstrom missed the first games of his career because of a broken thumb. He returned before the end of the regular season, and finished with 9 points in the last nine games.
Winnipeg players excitedPatrick Williams - NHL.com Correspondent
It's only the preseason opener, but the Winnipeg players expect a loud, excited crowd tonight when they play their first home game. READ MORE ›
This past postseason he became target No. 1 on the roster for criticism of the team's failure, though he had kept the second problem with his thumb a secret until after the season ended.
"Yeah, it was tough," Backstrom said. "I don't even watch TV or try not to read anything on the internet [this summer]. It was probably a good thing."
What Backstrom did instead was look for a new way to improve. He found it with Sebastien Falk, a successful Swedish speed skater. Backstrom traveled about 15 miles west of his hometown of Gavle, Sweden, to Sandviken to train with his new skating coach.
While teammate Marcus Johansson is known for his speed and Alex Ovechkin is known for his powerful stride, Backstrom has always been seen as someone more smooth than expertly skilled when it came to skating.
"I know I'm not the fastest guy on the first steps, so I've been working on that," Backstrom said. "It has been my key since I came over here [to North America] and it has been getting better and better, but I really wanted to take the next step and really get better.
"I've been working out a lot with him and it feels good. I feel better on the ice, especially with my skating."
Backstrom has also had a year to adjust to his new lifestyle. He signed a 10-year, $67 million contract in the summer of 2010, and while Backstrom stopped short of saying that was a distraction last year, he expects to be more comfortable this season.
"It shouldn't have ... it is better," Backstrom said. "I've got a new house here. Last year was a lot of back and forth about what I should do and stuff like that. At the same time, everything is all set now. There shouldn't be any problems with stuff like that."
Added forward Brooks Laich: "I don't think a lot has to be said to Nicky. I think he's a very intelligent kid and he puts a lot of pressure on himself -- even more than what outsiders do. He looks very, very focused so far in camp. He takes a lot of responsibility. He is the first guy to deflect the glory and the first guy to accept the blame."
Backstrom wasn't alone in his offensive struggles last year. Ovechkin, Laich, Alexander Semin and Mike Green all slipped from the previous season.
When Backstrom and Ovechkin are in harmony, they are one of the most devastating duos in the sport. When they are struggling, it becomes a "chicken or the egg"-type dispute about who is negatively affecting who.
"We've got to work harder," Backstrom said. "I think that is actually the biggest key. It is not a secret. The guys who are always up there with the scoring leaders are always working hard. That's what we have to get back to."
The Capitals have something of a new-look roster, with several new supporting players in tow for another run at the postseason success that has eluded them. Even with the reinforcements, bounce-back campaigns from guys like Backstrom and Ovechkin will go a long way toward helping people forget about the disappointment of last season.
"I think Nicky is going to have a great season," Laich said. "He's going to make everybody forget about ... well, I don't even know if you can call a 70-point season a sub-par season, but that just shows how good he is and how high the bar is set for him."

What if One Day We Get a Bad President?
The consequences of being saddled with a non-progressive, dumb chief executive are too horrible to imagine.
February 20, 2013 - 12:12 am
I believe I have noticed a problem with President Obama's declaring that he can blow up Americans with drone strikes without due process.
Stick with me here; this is a bit of an esoteric argument. Now, like most people, I celebrate every time Obama obtains more power. Now he can do whatever he feels needs to be done for the country and not be burdened with getting the approval of his lessers first. So the more powerful the presidency, the better for us all. But I had a terrible thought: What if one day we get a bad president?
For instance, take this power to kill Americans with drones. No one worries that Obama will abuse such a power — I mean, we're talking about a man who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize just for existing. It's not like he's ever going to use that power to blow us up (though, according to his lawyers, he legally could… and if he did, we'd just have to assume he had really, really good reasons). But just imagine if that power wound up in the hands of a president like George W. Bush. He'd probably blow up people with the drone all day, thinking he was playing a video game ("I'm gettin' me a high score!"). Or worse yet, think of handing Dick Cheney that power. He'd most likely declare a unilateral war on kittens and puppies, blowing them up from the sky and then collecting the tears of children for some evil Halliburton project.
And the power to incinerate people isn't the only power I fear could fall into the wrong hands. Like, what about the new authority the government has under President Obama to force people to buy things? That's great for Obama to have, because he can force people to buy things they really do need to buy, like health care (and maybe in the future other things we all should really have, like hybrids or his memoirs). But think of what could happen if a president not as enlightened as Obama wielded such a power, backed by a Congress full of Republican troglodytes? They could make us all buy AR-15s or Big Gulps or Bibles or other dangerous, awful things.
Furthermore, there is Obama's position on compromise. Now, we all agree that it's absolutely ridiculous that Obama has to yield at all to those mindless Republican thugs who somehow hold a majority in Congress. Obama is a brilliant man, so why should he compromise to the ideals of those so far beneath him? That's why he doesn't ever yield and agree to spending cuts and just asks for more taxes on the rich. And if somehow taxing the rich more and more doesn't make the math add up, then we'll ignore the stupid math. I mean, that's why we haven't had a federal budget for years: Why in the world should what Obama can do be limited by some arbitrary squiggles called "numbers"? So Obama will absolutely not compromise with crazed right-wingers or math.
But think of what would happen if a bad president took such an attitude? He'd spend all his time making speeches, listing out promises that would never be fulfilled, while Congress would be locked in constant gridlock. What a pointless, worthless presidency that would be.
Also, the latitude we give Obama might become a problem if bad presidents come to expect it. Normally, if the unemployment rate hovered around 8% for a president's entire term (and was only that low because millions of people had given up even looking for work) while at the same time we were burdened with high gas prices and economic growth ground to a halt, we would say that president was a complete and utter failure. Basically the worst president imaginable. We'd not only want that worthless wretch kicked out of office before he could do any more damage to our economy, we'd want him forced to wander the streets while citizens pelted him with rotten fruit and shouted obscenities at him.

NFL: Broncos withstand Chiefs 27-17
Denver • Peyton Manning walked away a winner in the biggest game of the year so far and, as a bonus, the Broncos might not even have to send his uniform off to the cleaners.
Manning threw for 323 yards and a touchdown Sunday night and was barely touched by Kansas City's sack-happy defense in Denver's 27-17 victory over the NFL's last undefeated team.
It means the '72 Dolphins can rest easy for another year. And it puts Denver and the Chiefs in a tie atop the AFC West at 9-1, with a rematch set in two weeks.
Manning has another big game before that at New England in yet another showdown against Tom Brady. If the Broncos' offensive line does anywhere near as good a job in that one as it did against the Chiefs, the quarterback's ailing ankles mummified with athletic tape for this critical game should be feeling much better.
"The protection was outstanding, we ran the ball consistently, tried to keep them off-balance," Manning said. "We wanted a mix of running and passing game and I'm really proud of those guys up front."
The Denver offensive line, featuring tackles Chris Clark and Orlando Franklin, shut out Kansas City's sack duo of Justin Houston and Tamba Hali along with the rest of the KC defense, which came in with a league-leading 36 sacks.
"I think they did a good job of getting the ball out fast," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. "They worked the pocket well. A few times we had pressure, you saw him slide and throw the ball out, which isn't easy to do. But we can do a better job there. We can get a little more pressure on him and we'll work on that."
Any pressure at all would be an improvement.
The Chiefs didn't record a single hit on Manning and he was barely touched all night. In fact, his most notable contact came in the first quarter when he and Montee Ball flubbed a handoff that Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson scooped up.
Johnson was barreling toward the end zone and what could've been a 7-3 lead. Manning lowered his shoulder and tripped him up. The Chiefs' offense came out and fullback Anthony Sherman promptly fumbled the ball back to the Broncos.
"That was a huge turning point," said Broncos interim coach Jack Del Rio, now 2-0 running the show in Denver while John Fox recovers from heart surgery.
Three plays after his tackle, Manning made the game's biggest play on offense, spotting receiver Demaryius Thomas in single coverage on the sideline for a 70-yard gain that set up the quarterback's lone touchdown pass a 9-yard strike to Julius Thomas for a 10-0 lead.
The Chiefs' defense, which came into the game also leading the league in points allowed (12.8), remained stout throughout against the league's highest-scoring offense (41.2). But eventually, Manning and Co., overwhelmed them, going 79, 65 and 62 yards for their last three scores and a 27-10 lead.
Ball capped two of the drives, once from 1 yard and another time from 8, to atone for the fumble, which was actually charged to Manning.
"We knew that once we got down to the red zone, getting touchdowns was critical," Manning said. "They make teams settle for field goals down there."
The Chiefs hadn't allowed more than 17 points all year a simple and effective explanation for one of the biggest turnarounds in NFL history.
But the offense, led by Alex Smith, simply isn't built to win a high-scoring showdown.
Smith finished with 230 yards and two touchdowns. He completed four passes for 57 yards to Dwayne Bowe, who started, as promised, while his legal case for marijuana possession plays out.
"We didn't do a good enough job offensively," Reid said. "That's my responsibility. We're a young football team. We'll get it worked out and fixed and get better next week."

Recently I learned the reason I struggle climbing hills is because my road bike is equipped with Shimano HG50 9 sp. 11-25T casette. The Rear Derailleur is Shimano Tiagra 4500 9 speed.
I was told upgrading to a more teeth casette would help alot. Researching I came across Shimano CS-4600 Tigara 10speed 12-30T at rei.com for $50. Are these casettes interchangable? Do i need a new chain? My existing chain is Shimano HG53 9 sp.
Thanks in advance for answering these questions for me!!
NOt sure if this information is irrelevant or required but the current Front Derailleur is Shimano Tiagra 4500 and the cracnkset is Shimano Tiagra Compact 34x50T.

Creative furniture design by Fredrik Paulsen
By Jenny Mortsell in New Design on Friday 3 August 2012
I love Fredrik Paulsen's furniture, how they look like fully functional prototypes, and that it appears that he gathers inspiration from tacky high street fashion and lumber yards rather than interior design magazines. I especially love his beautiful tie dye Easy Chair. Can I haz?
James Moores' art explores the dark side of human nature
By Jenny Mortsell in New Art on Friday 3 August 2012
James Elliott Moore is a Brooklyn-based nature boy and artist who grew up by the Appalachian mountains. He knows more about Scandinavian black metal that any Swede I know, and there aren't many horror movies he hasn't watched. Whatever his format – sculpture, video, photography, drawings – he is always exploring the dark side of human nature using imagery associated with fear, violence and ancient spiritualism to question what the eff is going on in modern American society. You'll get along with him just fine if you too are fascinated with serial killers, wabi-sabi, and drone sounds.

YORK: a new photobook by Jenny Mortsell
By Jenny Mortsell in New Art on Wednesday 30 May 2012
I recently did a photobook. It is called YORK and is released on Nille Svensson's newly started art book label, Nilleditions. First it was going to be called SWE YORK and be about the differences between Sweden and New York, a topic my Swedish fellows and I just can't help bringing up at every social gathering. But I grew so tired of having that conversation, so we skipped the SWE.

Julie Thevenot makes jewelery I want to wear all Brooklyn summer. I especially love the Small Exile Necklace. Imagine how good it would look with just a white tanktop, a pair of washed out cut-offs, and a pair or jerusalem sandals? Like you would blend in and stand out at the same time. Thevenot also loves cactuses and lives with a cat she found under the Williamsburg bridge named Mouche. Cause she's French, you know.
Ceramics by Sweden's Karin Kakan Hermansson
By Jenny Mortsell in New Art on Wednesday 30 May 2012
One thing I miss about living in Sweden is going to the final shows at my old design college, Konstfack, to see what the students have been cooking up during all those years of state-subsidised education. Luckily, my friends over there are picking out the raisins from the cake and post about it on Facebook, so I'm still slightly in the know. This year I especially loved Kakan Hermansson's ceramics. Read her blog, too.

Every time I've been hanging out with Agnes Thor and some American dude asks what her full name is, they all go 'whoohaa, that is such a great name'. I know. It's the name of a genius and a star. Thor's photos are sort of like her name: first they come off as dreamy, girly and sweet, amost giving a hazy David Hamilton vibe.

Colourful knitwear from Annie Larson
By Jenny Mortsell in New Fashion on Wednesday 30 May 2012
I'm crushing so hard on Annie Larson's knits. They're like wearable Memphis group furniture. She designs, knits, and assembles every piece herself in her Bushwick, Brooklyn, studio with help from a Brother KH-965i knitting machine. I found her via her instagram feed @annieleelarson, which I recommend you follow. No really. Do it. It will brighten up your day.

Thought passage: 2 Chron. 29:36, "And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly."
Sometimes in life things will happen so fast our heads will spin. Once it is all over we wonder, "Where did that come from?" Often we can look back in hindsight and examine the events beforehand and realize that God was preparing us for it all along; He knew it was coming. We should always stand in awe to the fact the He knows tomorrow.

Bad luck?
Out of the box, this was an exciting piece of gear. Sturdy, nice guage. No instructions provided. We were able to use it for our Presta valves but everything fell apart (litterally) when we tried the Schrader. The plastic fitting where you insert the valve stem is screwed onto the main assembly. When we tried to "lock" it onto the Schrader valve, the threads gave out. We could never get it to work again :o( The plastic fitting kept popping off which broke the seal and allowed air to escape. It's on it's way back. Bummer

The Interactive Advertising Bureau Issues Rich Media Measurement Guidelines for Public Comment
Furthers Its Commitment to Online Metrics
NEW YORK, NY (November 12, 2007) - The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) today announced a 30-day call for "public comment" on a set of Rich Media Measurement Guidelines, which determine at what point a rich media ad impression is counted. Rich media advertisements are defined as those with which users can interact as opposed to solely animation, and they include such formats as transitionals and various over-the-page units such as floating ads, page take-overs and tear-backs. The guidelines, issued by the IAB's Measurement Council, are primarily applicable to Internet media companies, ad serving organizations and rich media vendors.
"Consistent and reliable metrics play a vital role in creating efficiency in the interactive marketplace," said Randall Rothenberg, President and CEO of the IAB. "These guidelines further establish the industry's commitment to providing agencies and marketers with the highest possible levels of accountability and transparency."
In keeping with the principles of the Global Ad Impression Guidelines, measurement is recorded as late as possible in the delivery of creative material to the user's browser and therefore closest to the actual opportunity to see by the user.
"As new ad formats proliferate, it is important to maintain confidence in the currency of interactive media," said Mike Donahue, of the American Association of Advertising Agencies (AAAA). "We support the IAB's continuing efforts to create guidelines which will be extremely useful to our agency members and their clients."
Members of the industry (advertising agencies, advertisers, online publishers and technology vendors) are encouraged to read the proposed guidelines and submit comments on the IAB site at www.iab.net/RMM. After the 30-day comment period, the feedback will be reviewed and the guidelines will be finalized and publicly released.
These guidelines represent the next phase of the Measurement Certification Initiative led by the IAB, and facilitated by the Media Rating Council (MRC), and are meant to be an addendum to the existing IAB Ad Impression Measurement Guidelines published in 2004. Those guidelines can be viewed here.
About the IAB:
Founded in 1996, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (www.iab.net) represents over 300 leading interactive companies that actively engage in and support the sale of interactive advertising. IAB members are responsible for selling over 86% of online advertising in the United States. On behalf of its members, the IAB is dedicated to the continuing growth of the interactive advertising marketplace, of interactive's share of total marketing spend, and of its members' share of total marketing spend. The IAB evaluates and recommends standards and practices, fields interactive effectiveness research, and educates the advertising industry about interactive advertising.

The fifth installment of Telltale Games' take on The Walking Dead is an odyssey through losses, sorrow, and even a betrayal, although it's not without some hope for future beginnings as well. But does the end of Lee Everett's journey achieve the same emotional heights we've come to expect from previous episodes?
With a running time of just over an hour, No Time Left is The Walking Dead's shortest installment by far. Yet it's also the most moving, filled as it is with sacrifices from key players and unforeseen consequences for your actions from previous episodes. Gone are the quirky tangents that both enriched the story and prolonged it; in their place, we have little save Lee's unwavering drive to protect Clementine and escape the zombie-infested avenues of Savannah. The story benefits from this momentum, and it has the pleasing side effect of doling out crucial decisions with a frequency unseen until now. There's even a balanced dose a zombie-smashing combat for those who want it, and a gruesome choice early on for those who like their chitchat sprinkled with a dash of horror.
All of this culminates in what's surely one of the masterstrokes of contemporary gaming storytelling. There's a good chance you'll cry, and Telltale sustains the force of that emotion through the credits with a haunting folk melody by Alela Diane. If there's a problem, it's that the decisions you've made throughout the process all culminate in what's essentially the same ending apart from minor details. That might not please some players who believe they could have achieved an ending all their own, but Telltale uses the framework to hint at a theme of unalterable destiny, which reveals itself in small details scattered throughout the final minutes that hearken back to our first sight of Lee. More than ever, it's clear that Season 1 is the story of Lee's redemption and punishment for his past mistakes.
There are the usual small, technical hiccups, but they come in shorter bursts and rarely detract from the story. That's a good thing, because No Time Left ventures into masterpiece territory, particularly when considered in relation to the episodes that came before. It may remind us that happy endings often come in short supply in the real world, but in doing so, it also stands as proof that gaming storytelling need no longer stand in the shadow of its cinematic and literary counterparts.

Philip José Farmer (writer) and Christopher Paul Carey (editor),
The Other in the Mirror is the newest volume in Subterranean Press' survey of the works of Philip José Farmer, edited by Christopher Paul Carey. It contains three short novels that contain some of Farmer's most probing examinations of character.
Carey, in his Introduction, frames his discussion of these three novels within Hegel's concept of the Other -- that which is different than us -- as a means of addressing Farmer's approach. In Hegel's sense, we achieve a state of self-aware freedom by coming to understand the Other and incorporating it within ourselves. In Farmer's hands this becomes a multi-layered phenomenon as identity -- a key element of this idea -- moves from the individual to the group to the Other and back again.
But what Farmer is describing in these novels is not the realization of self, but the breakdown of the boundary between self and other.
This is most apparent in Fire and the Night, which Carey calls Farmer's "mainstream novel about racial prejudice." Danny Alliger works at a steel plant; the time is World War II. His new partner at the steelworks where he is employed is Vashti Virgil, a black woman. Danny doesn't think of himself as prejudiced, and in most respects he's not, particularly. He goes drinking with his black buddies, has no objection to working with Vashti, and deals with his black fellows as equals, in part because he wants to belong -- he's a man who has lost what he was and is looking for something to put in its place. His one sticking point is that he can't bring himself to partake of the charms of the black women in the town, no matter how freely offered. This is Danny's Other, and it's frightening. Vashti is beautiful, and although she's not in the least seductive, there's an inevitability here that works itself out with shattering results for Danny.
Richard Orme, in Jesus on Mars, finds a different Other, and it's one that's truly unsettling. Orme is the leader of the first manned expedition to Mars, and they discover Martians. Some of them, the Krsh, are truly alien, from a far planet. The others are from Earth, followers of the apostle Matthias, rescued by the Krsh and stranded along with their rescuers when their ship was forced into a crash landing after a battle with the Children of Darkness, as the Krsh call another group of aliens who are not Nice People. They live in caves hollowed out under the surface of the planet, and have achieved a remarkably stable and stress-free society. And they are all Jewish, but theirs is a Judaism without two millennia of contact -- and conflict -- with Gentiles. The members of the expedition, a Jew, and Muslim, an atheist, and Orme, who is a Christian, all have to come to terms with something out of their own history that is surprisingly alien. The kicker is that Jesus, whom the Martians recognize as the Messiah, lives in the atomic reactor that serves as the sun in their cave.
John Carmody, the protagonist of Night of Light is, to put it bluntly, a psychopath. He knows he's a psychopath, and being a psychopath, he has no problem with it. He's on the planet Dante's Joy because he's on the lam after killing his wife, whom he not only murdered but cut up into small pieces and fed to the sewers. He's attached himself to an anthropological expedition in the form of two priests who are on Dante's Joy to witness the Night of Light, a solar event that happens every seven years. Most Kareenans, the native inhabitants, sleep through it, locked away in vaults. It seems the solar wind has strange effects on both Kareenans and humans, and those who survive the Night awake come out of it changed, not only psychologically but sometimes physically as well -- the wind somehow creates realities from the subconscious. And the Kareenans have a use for Carmody, as well. They see in him a way to resolve an ages old religious conflict between the gods Yess and Algul. The result is not what anyone actually looked for, but it does have a profound effect on Carmody.
None of these men are heroes. They are, in fact, various degrees of anti-hero. Danny Alliger is a decent guy with a few hang-ups related to race and intimacy. Richard Orme, although a devout Christian, is out for himself, and will latch onto any opportunity to make a buck, and the more bucks the better. Carmody is the nadir of humanity, a man who is truly remorseless until faced with what's inside him. Carey posits guilt as the driving force behind these characters, and I think he's right, although the guilt in each case has a different origin.
Philip José Farmer was throughout his career an iconoclast, tackling subjects within the framework of science fiction that other writers in the field avoided. (Remember, he's the man who brought sex into science fiction -- in 1952, when sex was seldom discussed publicly -- even post-Kinsey.) In these three novels he's done it again. And being by Farmer, of course, they are eminently readable, seductive and rewarding.
Subterranean Press hasn't moved.

About Shannon Airport (SNN)
The airport was established in 1942 and by 1945 the airport runways were extended to allow transatlantic flights to land.
After the World War II ended the airport was ready to be used by new commercial airlines of North America and Europe. The following years Shannon Airport became well known as a gateway between Europe and America and thus the international carriers flow grew rapidly. Many limited aircraft range needed refueling stops at Shannon before and after trips across the Atlantic; this changed in the 1960s when long range aircraft were introduced. In 1947 Shannon was established by the "Customs Free Airport Act" as the first duty free airport. In 1969 Aer Rianta, nowadays Dublin Airport Authority, a new government agency, was given airport responsibility. In 1971, given the increasing passenger number, a new enlarged terminal was opened; the terminal was extended in 2000.
The airport went through a renovation process and in 2010 a passenger separation project and an airside area renovation was completed. In 2010 SNN became the first airport outside U.S. that offered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to private aircraft. As such, Shannon Airport (SNN) Hotels are pleased to invite you to spend a wonderful trip in Ireland, while we will take care of your accommodation options.

"Terrifying," Heger said. "It's stressful. Very stressful. Extremely stressful."
Dozens of Denver parents can relate. The day care center Creative Beginnings, LLC announced on Monday it plans to close on Friday due to financial problems, giving parents just one weeks notice to find a new center.
Lisa Benson, of the Children's Corner Day Care Center in Denver, says parents need to trust their gut when choosing child care.
"You're having your child go somewhere 40 to 50 hours a week," Benson said. "You want them in good hands."
Children's Corner had a nine-month wait list Tuesday. Other child care centers are so expensive, parents buckle under the huge financial burden.
"It's almost half my check," Heger said. "You pay more in child care than you would in groceries a month, it seems like."
A study by the National Association of Child Care Resources and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) shows that in 40 states including Colorado, child care is more expensive than public university tuition.
In Colorado, the average yearly child care for an infant is about $12,000 a year and college tuition averages to about $6,300.
According to the same NACCRRA study, Colorado ranks fourth in the United States for having the most expensive child care. Massachusetts ranks first, followed by New York and Minnesota. California ranks fifth.
The study, citing statistics from 2010, says child care costs are up because the recession has forced many parents to work extra jobs and odd hours, and child care for odd hours costs more.
