I know I've posted all over the place in the forums, I'll try to stick to in here. I'm sure you're all going to get very tired of seeing stuff about Mike. No one will talk about him, though. It's like everyone's afraid to say his name to me and all I want to do is talk about him and act like he's still here. I'm trying so hard not to have a breakdown but it's so hard. It makes me so angry that people are just continuing with their lives and talk about the weather, the dogs, tv shows, when Mike is dead.
The day Mike died, we had a big fight before he left.
That night, Maverick woke up at 2, 4, and 6 and I was so very exhausted and he was nursing forever and didn't seem satisfied. I had nudged Mike to get up to change his diaper but Mike sleeps like a rock and didn't want to move. So instead of talking to him, I got angry. I yelled at him and told him he wasn't helping enough. I didn't mean it. I was frusterated with the lack of sleep and the angry newborn and still feeling uncomfortable from the birth and drowsy from my post-partum hemmorage. And when I yelled at him, he got upset (he was mutually tired and beat between the baby and work) and changed Maverick's diaper. I was still annoyed, so I refused to talk to him and he went and slept in the spare room. I didn't even get to sleep aside my Mikey before he died. I regret that whole night and the following day. When we woke up, I was still being a jerk. He tried to apologize but my feelings were injured and I told him I wasn't ready to talk. We did stuff around the house, barely speaking to one another, and then took Charlie, Maverick, and our Saint Bernard puppy out to the dog park. After the dog park, we stopped to grab something to eat at a hot dog place. That whole day, we didn't say much to eachother. I didn't tell Mike once that I loved him. I didn't kiss him at all. I was so wrapped up in my own frusteration that the last 24 hours with my Mike, I wasted on being selfishly angry. When we got home, I put Charlie down for a nap and nursed the baby again and Mike asked me if he could go out on his bike for a little bit because the weather was nice.
And you know what I said to my husband? A man that I love, who would turn the world over for me, who has gone out of his way to support us and care for us, and makes me feel loved and beautiful and whole..
I told him, "Go, I don't care. Just go."
I wish I could stab myself in the heart because that's what I did to him. He even asked if I wanted him to stay so we could talk it out. I regret with every inch of me that I would have said yes, stay. Let's talk. I love you. Please don't go. Come back. I need you. Anything but what I said. And I'll never be able to take that back in a million years. I didn't mean it. But that's the last thing he heard from me. And his face looked so heartbroken. I hate myself. I feel responsible for his death. If I would have just told him to stay, he would have in a instant because he wanted to fix things. I was just being a horrible, stubborn, awful person.
About two hours later, I was upstairs nursing the baby again and the phone rang like 3 times. I finally went down to check the messages and the first message was from the hospital, saying that they had a Michael Frederick in their ER and he'd been in a motorcycle accident. Then the next calls were his boss and his mom, who'd they'd also called, all yelling for me to pick up the phone.
I called ECMC (the hospital) and they said that he was in critical condition but they couldn't tell me much more, I'd have to talk to the surgeon when I got there. My initial thought was that he was badly hurt, but not dead. There was no way. And I don't know how to drive our car, it's stick shift, so I made a frantic call for one of my friends to come pick me up. She did and her mother followed us to take the kids when we got there. On the way, his sister called my cell crying hysterically, asking why I wasn't there yet. I told her I was going as fast as I could and asked how he was, she kept crying. I told her, "Just tell me he's still alive." And she just kept crying more, then I screamed it at her and she said she didn't know anything, that the doctors wouldn't tell her anything. Which was a lie, the family knew, she just didn't want to tell me over the phone.
But by the way she was crying, I knew something wasn't right. Then when we pulled up to the ER, my other best girlfriend was there with a wheelchair and told me to sit in it. It occured to me right away that the only reason they'd want me to sit down is because something serious happened but I said no and plowed into the ER. It took 5 seconds to realize Mike was dead. I told them who I was and they let me through the door and instead of taking me to a hospital room, they escorted me towards a office-like room. There was a priest holding the door open and inside my immediate inlaws were all there, crying. I told them, "Don't tell me that he's dead." and my mother in law said that he was.
I shrieked hysterically, burst into tears, ended up on the floor. I still feel that exact moment of hearing it in the center of my stomach. This god awful pain of being hurt and angry and lost and nothing to do about it. I lost it a little at the hospital, I yelled for a while until they made me get off the floor and into a chair and then they said we could go see him.
Michael was covered with a white sheet from his chest down, in a neck brace, and had a tube in his mouth. His face and arms were untouched, as all of his injuries turned out to be internal. He looked just like himself but sleeping. They started asking me about if I knew he was a organ donor and I think I said yes then they told me only tissue could be used since he was already dead when he got to the hospital, even though they tried to recistate him. I wish that he had been able to donate organs. I know he wanted to. For some reason, I think if his organs had been able to be used to save another person's loved ones life, I think it would have somehow made it a little easier. His whole family was in the room, his aunts started showing up and everyone was crying and clobbering over his body. I couldn't stand to touch his face, it was already so cold, so I touched his arm, right where his batman and joker tattoo was. I just kept waiting for him to wake up but it wasn't happening. They asked me if I wanted his wedding ring and at first I said no, but then I remembered he wanted to be cremated. If I had buried him, I'd want his ring on him but we did cremate him so they gave me his ring. I'm now wearing it on my left hand and it feels wrong, it should be on him. I asked the family to leave before they took him away to get his tissue and I told him that I was sorry, that I never meant what I said, I didn't want him to go, I do care, and I want him back. I begged for him to come back. I still do it every night when I go to bed, I don't know how long that will go on for even though I know it's something I'll never get a response to. Then my sister showed up, some other of his family, his best friend Gary. Everyone was a wreck but all I could focus on was that the last thing I said to him was, "Go, I don't care."
I got his ashes today. They couldn't find the urn I wanted, his ashes were split between me and his mother, so they put him in a plastic bag and a cardboard box. That is what my husband is currently sitting in on my shelf. A box. I'll find a urn for him as soon as I can stomach the idea that he's really dead.
Mikey, I miss you. I miss you so much. I love you. I want you to come back. My life is empty without you. I can't do this without you. The kids need you. I need you. I'm only complete with you. Please come back.
I don't know how to do this.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive problem that causes episodes of abdominal pain, cramping or bloating, and diarrhea or constipation. The cause is not well understood—there are no physical signs of disease in the intestines and no specific tests that diagnose the condition—but symptoms often get worse with stress or after eating.
IBS can persist for many years. An episode may be milder or more severe than the one before it, but the disorder itself usually does not get worse over time. It does not lead to more serious diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease or cancer.
Stress management, diet changes, and in some cases medicines are helpful in managing the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.

Urinary Tract Infection
We deal with problems like Urinary Tract Infections frequently with numerous clients from all over the country. Our experience with issues like this has helped us become one of the few places people can go for answers to help solve tough issues with their dogs and cats.
We have helped hundreds of animals just like yours - it is what we do! See what others have to say about us by reading some of The Pet Health and Nutrition Center Testimonials. Feel free to request a Personal Online Consultation or contact The Pet Health and Nutrition Center if you have any questions. We are here to help!
Our Natural Urinary Tract Infection Protocol
From our experience there is no single miracle cure for a particular disease state. That is why we use a variety of supplements that all have different effects on the body to produce resolution of the imbalance. The important thing here is that they are TRULY all-natural, whole food nutrients that require little energy by the body to utilize, provide a big nutritional punch and have no scary side-effects! This is especially true when dealing with sometimes hard to alleviate conditions.
Recommendation #1 - Disinfect the Urinary Tract
Urinary tract infections are usually caused by the E. coli bacteria and result in discomfort and difficulty urinating. UTI infections can be serious if they reach the kidneys so we want to catch them early and keep them from reoccurring. The natural approach appears to be best as there is growing concern that antibiotic therapy can actually promote recurring infections. What we want to do here is disinfect the urinary tract while providing soothing herbs to reduce inflammation and discomfort.
Product Recommendation:
Recommendation #2 - Soothe and Cleanse the Urinary Tract
Our UTI Formula above contains Uva ursi, which is a strong astringent. It should only be used for 3-5 days at a time. After that time, to make sure the infection is cleared, it is usually beneficial to continue on a gentler formula for the next two weeks or so until you are sure the infection is gone. This next formula is soothing and healing and has milder antiseptic qualities and is just what you need for longer therapy.
Product Recommendation:
Urinary Tonic Formula for Dogs and Cats
Recommendation #3 - Provide Beneficial Flora to the Urinary Tract
Probiotics inhabit the mucous membranes that line the urinary tract. When their numbers are reduced by antibiotic usage or for some other reason, infection can more easily occur. Bacteria that cause urinary tract infections, generally E. coli, primarily ascend through the urethra. It is very unlikely to be able to repopulate the probiotic colonies in this region of the body by ingesting a probiotic supplement. So they too have to travel up the urethra to repopulate this region. We have had great success treating urinary tract infections and preventing new ones with this next product recommendation.
Product Recommendation:
Recommendation #4 - Improve Digestion with Plant Enzymes and Probiotics
Digestion is a key factor to the health and longevity of our dogs and cats, so including an enzyme and probiotic supplement is very important. Providing enzymes helps to quickly and completely break down your animals food so they get all the nutrients they can out of their meals. Studies have shown that animals fed a processed pet food diet have pancreases four times the normal size. As the pancreas gets burned out, this leads to fewer and fewer enzymes being secreted by the body as your pet ages. In addition, incompletely broken down proteins can make their way into the blood stream causing many of the inflammatory conditions we see in our animals today like arthritis. Probiotics also play a role in proper digestion, but also a large part in the efficiency of the immune system and keeping the digestive tract balanced and healthy.
Product Recommendation:
Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics for Dogs and Cats
Recommendation #5 - Acidify the Gut for Optimum Digestion
Many animals we see are having problems with hypochloridia, or low stomach acid output. Feeding a kibble diet raises the alkalinity of your pet's stomach resulting in incomplete digestion, but your dog or cat can have trouble digesting other foods as well. By acidifying the digestive tract we not only aid digestion but we help alkalize the body which recent research indicates can aid in the elimination and prevention of urinary tract infections. In order to acidify the gut many people use apple cider vinegar. We prefer our Probiotic Digestive Tonic for this purpose because it is rich in lactic acid that creates an optimal environment for digestion as opposed to acetic acid in apple cider vinegar.
Product recommendation:
Probiotic Digestive Tonic for Dogs and Cats
Recommendation #6 - Provide Whole Food Nutrients and Antioxidants
An animal that is struggling with an illness needs all the nutrition they can get so the body can heal and the immune system can function properly. In addition, tissue damage and inflammation that occurs with UTIs produce free radicals. These particles are a primary cause of premature aging, disease and cellular DNA damage. So, we want to provide your animal with high quality antioxidants to neutralize these free radicals and plenty of whole food nutrition for healing and tissue repair. Nutrients from whole foods are more readily absorbed by your dog or cat's body and don't place additional stress on the liver and kidneys as do synthetic vitamins and minerals.
Product Recommendation:
Biopreparation Microalgae for Dogs and Cats
and/or one of the following:
Male Vitality Multivitamin for Dogs and Cats
Female Vitality Multivitamin for Dogs and Cats
Recommendation #7 - Provide a Healthy Diet
Diet plays an important role in your animal's long term health. Feeding a raw whole food diet is the biologically appropriate way to feed an animal. If you do not want to feed raw, or can't for some reason, then sticking as close to whole food as possible is always best. Kibble pet foods are drying and pets that have urinary tract issues would benefit enormously from a raw food diet or high quality dehydrated (NOT freeze-dried) or wet home prepared diet.
*Please make sure your dog or cat gets plenty of water when suffering with urinary tract issues. As we alluded to previously, animals get the majority of their moisture from the food they eat, especially cats. Feeding a dry kibble diet places a lot of stress on an already imbalanced system and will be very problematic long term - trust us we see the damage done all too frequently. Strongly consider a raw food diet for these animals.

Beneath every striking outfit lies an "undercover story". Underwear has been crucial throughout the centuries in padding and supporting the outer dress or suit, and in helping to create the final silhouette. From cod pieces to shoulder pads; hoops to bumrolls, crinolines to bustles: all have secretly adapted the human form to an artificial shape.
Underwear has also been significant in promoting hygiene and cleanliness, allowing the wearer to use a barrier-layer between costly outer fabrics, which were difficult or impossible to clean, and the human body below. In the absence of modern bathrooms and bathing, clean linen and later cotton underclothing was essential, and could be regularly changed and robustly laundered, preventing dirt reaching garments above.

2012 Property Tax Rates in City of La Joya
This notice concerns the 2012 property tax rates for City of La Joya. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the actual tax rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year's effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers start rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.
Last year's tax rate:
Last year's operating taxes $621,187
Last year's debt taxes $0
Last year's total taxes $621,187
Last year's tax base $113,937,454
Last year's total tax rate $0.5452/$100
This year's effective tax rate:
Last year's adjusted taxes
(after subtracting taxes on lost property) $617,680
÷ This year's adjusted tax base
(after subtracting value of new property) $117,455,180
=This year's effective tax rate $0.5258/$100
(Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings.)
This year's rollback tax rate:
Last year's adjusted operating taxes $617,680
(after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any
transferred function, tax increment financing, state criminal justice
mandate, and/or enhanced indigent healthcare expenditures)
÷ This year's adjusted tax base $117,455,180
=This year's effective operating rate $0.5258/$100
x 1.08=this year's maximum operating rate $0.5678/$100
+ This year's debt rate $0/$100
= This year's total rollback rate $0.5678/$100
Statement of Increase/Decrease
If City of La Joya adopts a 2012 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $0.5258 per $100 of value, taxes would decrease compared to 2011 taxes by $10,305.
Schedule A - Unencumbered Fund Balance
The following estimated balances will be left in the unit's property tax accounts at the end of the fiscal year. These balances are not encumbered by a corresponding debt obligation.
Type of Property Tax Fund Balance
Schedule B - 2012 Debt Service
The unit plans to pay the following amounts for long-term debts that are secured by property taxes. These amounts will be paid from property tax revenues (or additional sales tax revenues,
if applicable).
Description of Debt Principal or Contract Interest to be Other Amounts Total Payment Payment to be Paid Paid from to be Paid
from Property Taxes Property Taxes
0 0 0 0
Total required for 2012 debt service $0
- Amount (if any) paid from Schedule A $0
- Amount (if any) paid from other resources $0
- Excess collections last year $0
= Total to be paid from taxes in 2012 $0
+ Amount added in anticipation that the unit will
collect only 100.00% of its taxes in 2012 $0
= Total debt levy $0

Comcast SportsNet reporter Susannah Collins has been let go by the network.
Collins flubbed up a line on Tuesday, saying the Blackhawks had a "tremendous amount of sex during the regular season," instead of saying they had a "tremendous amount of success during the regular season."
Video of Collins' misspoken line went viral. Video related to the viral recording exposed a series of YouTube videos from a few years ago, when she was a co-host of "Sports Nutz."
Collins was featured in a variety of sexually explicit reports on "Sports Nutz," which many considered offensive.
Comcast said they could no longer use her after those videos gained attention. Oddly enough, it is speculated that those videos that brought her to Comcast's attention in the first place. In fact, Collins said in a recent interview that she landed her first job with Inside NFL because an executive there was a fan of "Sports Nutz."
That lead the "Hawk Crazy" blogger on Chicago Now to point out, "She didn't intentionally use the type of language she did on the series on CSN's airwaves, so what does her past matter? If CSN is concerned about it's employees' past projects they should try this thing called Google."
On DeadSpin, Timothy Burke writes, "It brings us to conclude one of two things: either CSN doesn't adequately investigate its job applicants (stupid), or its executives fire employees for an innocent misstatement (tremendously stupid)."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

He allegedly threatened to stab a man during an argument around 4:20 p.m., just prior to the traffic stop.
The victim reportedly ran into a business to escape the man. He called police, who located the suspect driving his vehicle in the area of the traffic stop.
The suspect allegedly threatened the victim with a "large" knife with a 5-inch blade.
He was taken to San Joaquin County Jail in French Camp on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and exhibiting a weapon, according to the jail website.
Tracy police received 313 calls for service Monday, March 4 and Tuesday, March 5. The following is a sample of those reports.
10:26 a.m.: A 27-year-old man was cited for shoplifting at Target, 2800 Naglee Road.

The man was released from the hospital the day before for unknown reasons. However, he told responding officers that his friends had put Ecstasy in a gunshot wound he previously received. Police didn't arrest the man because of his medical condition. He also was reportedly paranoid, but not violent.
12:54 p.m.: Officers were called to Sutter Tracy Community Hospital, 1420 N. Tracy Blvd., where a man refused to leave after being discharged by hospital staff. The man was allegedly lying peacefully on a gurney, but refused to leave. He left once police arrived.

4:12 p.m.: A female was arrested on the 200 block of Rochester Court for battery.

So I thought from all that I've heard, that chances are less that you would have HELLP a second time. (Though you could still possibly have it, for sure..)
Anyway, I was reading my What to Expect When You're Expecting book, and in there it says a woman who has had HELLP is likely to get it again! EEK! Do I have an old edition or something, or does the author not know as much about it, or what? I thought the chances were anywhere from 30%-40 or 50....but that's still a majority of percentage that a person wouldn't get it again (well, unless it's 50...)

HOOVER, AL (RNN) - SEC Media Days will continue Wednesday with a veritable Golden Corral buffet of college football oversaturation.
Tuesday had its moments. Steve Spurrier was entertaining, Jadeveon Clowney strode through the Wynfrey Hotel being awesome. Ole Miss' Mike Marry wore a pink suit.
Wednesday will be all about Johnny Manziel, the face of the Heisman brand. He's fresh off an early exit from the Manning Passing Camp last weekend, amidst rumors of Friday partying and a Saturday hangover.
Texas A&M kicks off the day at 8:30 a.m. The line is running 8 to 5 that J. Football will make it on time.
Will he arrive wearing a tuxedo, with a Vegas showgirl on each arm, while the PA thunders the opening chords of "Teenage Wasteland?"
Probably not.
He will set the stage for the totally anticlimactic appearances of, in order: Kentucky, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Auburn and Arkansas.

a.m. Coach Kevin Sumlin will speak along with players Toney Hurd Jr.,

Autumn's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
Louisville Cardinals! I studied at U of L
What's your favorite movie quote?
"You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!" -Wedding Crashers
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
Mario Kart. Ask anybody....I'll beat you.
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
None. Does that make me different and unique?
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
I don't have embarrassing songs...all of my music is awesome.
What's your best party trick?
I can do all kinds of tricks...however the most common request that I get is to flex. Or arm wrestle.
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
" Hey...how you doin'?" I tried using it on a guy once, but it didn't work. He just said "Fine, thanks" and walked away.
What's the worst job you've ever had?
I worked at Abercrombie and Fitch for 6 hours, once. I realized that I hated retail, and their jeans didn't even fit me.
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
Does driving count? Just kidding, I'm an excellent driver. I'm actually a very accident prone person, so I face danger every day.
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
A protein shake...I don't have crazy nights out often due to my bodybuilding goals, but when I do...I complete the fun with a protein shake. Or a greasy burger. I suppose it depends on how much fun I've had.
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
Sauerkraut. I use it to cut late eveningcravings because I won't eat much of it, and I stay on a strict diet.
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
I stole a shopping cart once....then put it in my friend's mom's bed. That's naughty, right?
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
My workout clothes...usually yoga pants or shorts and a tank top. I like showing off my muscles and having the ability to perform an exercise at any given time. Although t is nice to get all sexied-up in a form fitting dress and heels once in awhile. After all, I am still very girly, even though I lift heavy weights.
Tell us a joke.
What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear :)

HanseMerkur insurance group
The HanseMerkur Insurance Group with its head office in Hamburg can already look back on a long history. Its predecessor companies, Hanseatische Krankenversicherung VVaG and Hanse-Krankenschutz VVaG, were established in 1875 and 1936 respectively. As a medium-sized personal insurer independent of any group, HanseMerkur has been offering its customers security, predictability and reliability since 1969. This financially secure and growth-oriented company has achieved its present independent and strong position in the market and developed into an efficient medium-sized personal insurer thanks to various acquisitions of existing customer lists and its dynamic sales activities.
With 1,744 employees and self-employed agency owners working in its head office and in its sales force, HanseMerkur generated an annual turnover in 2009 of 962.2 million Euros and holds capital assets of more than 3.6 billion Euros.
The insurance group's roots lie in health insurance, which, with a premium income of 640.4 million Euros in 2008, is still the company's largest area of activity. As a specialist in the field of private complementary insurance, HanseMerkur
Krankenversicherung AG has established a name for itself throughout the whole of Germany.
In 1989, the company was the first private health insurer that offset reductions in its ES tariff in benefits as part of a reform of the state insurance scheme by the then health minister Blum. However, HanseMerkur has also established its position in the market through its innovative all-round health insurance premium rates that offer additional benefits for women, children and high-earning employees and the self-employed. Its leading role in reimbursing the costs of naturopathic medical treatment, for which demand is increasing ever more strongly, should also be mentioned.
HanseMerkur is also leading the way with its active health management and an advisory service for its customers, for example its health telephone helpline to specialist doctors at local rates and one of the most comprehensive health portals on the internet.
In association with the health insurers DAK and HEK, the Hamburg Savings Bank and the drug-store chain Budnikowsky, HanseMerkur is also one of the largest providers of private complementary health insurance cover. Since 2004, more than four million contracts for spectacles insurance developed for the optician chain Fielmann have been signed. With its website www.riestermeister.de, HanseMerkur not only offers one of the most comprehensive information portals on the internet about provision for old age, but also enables the highest guaranteed "Riester pension" (a government-sponsored supplementary pension scheme) with the lowest contribution to be completed online. HanseMerkur is also the second largest travel insurer in Germany ( www.hmrv.de ) and the only independent insurance company in the financial centre Hamburg that is independent of any group and that operates throughout the whole of Germany.

08 SEPTEMBER 2005, PHILADELPHIA, PA—On September 7, eight adventurous archaeologists are scheduled to set sail on a voyage from Oman to India on the Magan, a small boat made of reeds covered with black bitumen tar, as they seek to recreate the voyages of ancient mariners of 4,500 years ago--and prove that it is possible to travel across a 500-mile stretch of the sea in a boat made with Bronze Age technology, propelled by the wind and navigated by the sun and the stars. The reconstructed "Black Boat of Magan" was undertaken by the Joint Hadd Project of which the University of Pennsylvania Museum's curator of the Asian Section, Dr. Gregory L. Possehl. is a co-director, along with colleagues Dr. Maurizio Tosi at the University of Bologna (who is the acknowledged "god father" of the Magan Boat) and Dr. Serge Cleuziou of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris. Joined with their Omani collaborators, and Naval Architect Tom Vosmer, they have experimented for over five years with ancient reed boat technology and feel that the current craft is ready to go to sea.

14 FEBRUARY 2007, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The origins of Greek cult and Greek athletics--long a subject of fascination for Greek scholars--may be found at the mountaintop sanctuary of Zeus on Mt. Lykaion in Arcadia, Greece. Famous in antiquity as the site of an open air ash altar to Zeus and athletic contests rivaling those at nearby Olympia, this sanctuary is undergoing new excavations and study, in an international project, the Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project, that is a joint collaboration between the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and the University of Arizona, under the auspices of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, with Greek collaborators, representatives of the Greek Archaeological Service.

22 AUGUST 2007, PHILADELPHIA, PA—In Africa today, cattle pastoralism and dairy farming are principal livelihoods for millions of people, integrated into most aspects of cultural life. In the last few years, harsh and unpredictable climate fluctuations in East Africa—probable signs of global warming—have affected the region's pastoralists, and threaten their long-term ability to continue their semi-nomadic way of life. Surprisingly, until recent decades little research had been conducted on the origins and spread of cattle domestication across that huge continent.

International Partnership Project Seeks to Fill in the Blanks of Southeast Asian Prehistory
19 OCTOBER 2007, PHILADELPHIA, PA—As archaeologists in the last half century have set about reconstructing the prehistory of Southeast Asia, data from one country—centrally located Laos—was conspicuously missing. Little archaeology has occurred in Laos since before World War II, and beginning in the mid-1970s, Laos shut its doors completely to outside researchers. International scholars had to content themselves with information from excavation and survey work mostly from neighboring Thailand.

13 NOVEMBER 2007, PHILADELPHIA, PA—–The earliest known use of cacao––the source of our modern day chocolate––has been pushed back more than 500 years, to somewhere between 1400 and 1100 B.C.E., thanks to new chemical analyses of residues extracted from pottery excavated at an archaeological site at Puerto Escondido in Honduras. The new evidence also indicates that, long before the flavor of the cacao seed (or bean) became popular, it was the sweet pulp of the chocolate fruit, used in making a fermented (5% alcohol) beverage, which first drew attention to the plant in the Americas.
Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project Finds Early Activity Atop Arcadia's Famous Mountain
22 JANUARY 2008, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The Greek traveler, Pausanias, living in the second century, CE, would probably recognize the spectacular site of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Mt. Lykaion, and particularly the altar of Zeus. At 4,500 feet above sea level, atop the altar provides a breathtaking, panoramic vista of Arcadia.

20 MARCH 2008, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Homer, living centuries before the Classical era of Athens, is renowned for his epic tales of an even earlier time, when the Mycenaeans of the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1600–1100 B.C.)—with a rich warrior aristocracy and wide-ranging trade—came to rule the land and the seas.
Archaeologists have uncovered great Mycenaean cities, like Mycenae and Pylos, extraordinary circular burial chambers, elegant frescoes, even written language, as well as widespread evidence of Mycenaean expansion and trade—but no harbors or port towns to help them understand the far-flung connections, or the rapid expansion and equally sudden demise, of this ancient Greek culture—until now.

07 APRIL 2008, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The Olympic torch, long the symbol of world unity, hasn't had a smooth run thus far this year, as it makes its way to the 2008 summer games in Beijing, China. The flame was extinguished three times in Paris on Monday, April 7, as Pro-Tibetan protesters made their presence known. The disturbances put a halt to the torch relay in France, as security officials placed the flame on a bus to transport it to its end point in the country.
01 AUGUST 2008, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has received a four-year, $300,000 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation to organize and run a cross-borders, international collaborative research program in Laos and Thailand. "Strengthening the Future of Southeast Asian Archaeology: Investigating the Prehistoric Settlement of the Mekong Middle Basin," will be directed by Dr. Joyce White, Senior Research Scientist in the Asian Section at Penn Museum, co-Director of the Middle Mekong Archaeology Project since 2001, and Director of the Museum's Ban Chiang, Thailand Project since 1982.

18 AUGUST 2008, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The Penn Cultural Heritage Center, dedicated to expanding both scholarly and public awareness, discussion, and debate about the complex issues surrounding the world's rich—and endangered—cultural heritage, has been established at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia.
Dr. Richard M. Leventhal, Professor of Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania, Curator, American Section at Penn Museum, and former Williams Director of Penn Museum, is founder and director of the new Penn Cultural Heritage Center. PCHC draws upon the expertise of the Museum's curators, researchers, graduate students, other Penn department faculty, and outside scholars, for its programs. More than a year in the planning, the new Center has already piloted some spring 2008 programs for law enforcement professionals. It launches its public programming initiatives beginning in the fall of 2008.

14 DECEMBER 2008, PHILADELPHIA, PA—"I like the variety," said Erika Durham CT Technologist, Department of Radiology, at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. "These are very different populations from what I work with during the week. And just the whole thing—helping science—that is cool."
For about one year, Ms. Durham has been one of HUP's CT technologists assisting scientists at the University of Pennsylvania Museum with a major, National Science Foundation funded project to cat scan the Museum's skeletal collections of thousands of human and primate specimens, as well as collections from Columbia University, the American Museum of Natural History—and, on this early Sunday morning—a collection of skulls from the Mütter Museum of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia.

Project Field Director David Gilman Romano Offers Update at January 27 Lecture "The Search for Zeus: The Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project"
21 JANUARY 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA—In the third century BCE, the Greek poet Callimachus wrote a 'Hymn to Zeus' asking the ancient, and most powerful, Greek god whether he was born in Arcadia on Mt. Lykaion or in Crete on Mt. Ida.
A Greek and American team of archaeologists working on the Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project believe they have at least a partial answer to the poet's query. New excavation evidence indicates that Zeus' worship was established on Mt. Lykaion as early as the Late Helladic period, if not before, more than 3,200 years ago. According to Dr. David Gilman Romano, Senior Research Scientist, Mediterranean Section, University of Pennsylvania Museum, and one of the project's co-directors, it is likely that a memory of the cult's great antiquity survived there, leading to the claim that Zeus was born in Arcadia.

Scientific research leading up to and incorporated in to this exhibition include:
Penn Museum and Penn Medicine Researchers Collaborate To Test Promising Medicinal Compounds Once Employed by Our Ancestors
14 APRIL 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Hippocrates (ca. 460-370 BCE), the most famous of ancient physicians, once noted: "Wine is fit for man in a wonderful way provided that it is taken with good sense by the sick as well as the healthy." Now new archaeochemical evidence, backed up by increasingly sophisticated scientific testing techniques, are pointing to a long history of medicinal remedies tried, tested, and sometimes lost, throughout millennia of human history—herbs, tree resins, and other organic materials dispensed by ancient fermented beverages like wine and beer.

15 APRIL 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Ian Hodder, Dunlevie Family Professor, Department of Cultural and Social Anthropology, Stanford University, and Director of the Catalhöyük Archaeological Project in central Turkey, became the 29th recipient of the University of Pennsylvania Museum's Lucy Wharton Drexel Medal for archaeological achievement. Dr. Richard Hodges, the Museum's Williams Director, presented him with the medal, the top honor that the Penn Museum bestows on a scholar, before Dr. Hodder presented a special talk, "A Conversation about Community Engagement in Archaeology," to a public audience in the Museum's Rainey Auditorium Tuesday evening 14 April 2009.

29 APRIL 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA--PUM II and Hapi-Men, two of the ancient Egyptian mummies on display at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, have had their share of medical scrutiny: PUM II was both x-rayed and autopsied in 1973, while Hapi-Men underwent an x-ray in 1980.
Early Sunday morning, April 19th, they traveled to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, for yet another medical procedure, and the chance for researchers to find out more about these 2000-plus year old mummies—this time, through state-of-the-art CT scanning. They were joined by Hapi-Men's loyal (mummified) pet, affectionately known as Hapi-Puppy. All three mummies were successfully CT scanned, and returned to the Penn Museum before 9 a.m.—and before the hospital's living human patients' CT scan appointments began.

Learn more about the benefits of negative ions:
Our modern homes and offices seal out negative ions from our natural world, and our daily environments, with computer terminals, fluorescent lighting, forced air ventilation systems, and modern building materials, generate an over abundance of positive ions. Positive ions make us feel tired, depressed and irritable.
Balancing the ionization in your home and workplace may help you live a healthier life. The world's most tranquil and refreshing regions are loaded with billions of negative ions. Air near waterfalls, mountains, beaches and forests are among those places where ionization levels are the highest and in complete and natural balance.
What are negative ions?
Ions are molecules that have gained or lost an electrical charge. Negative ions are created in nature as air molecules break apart due to sunlight, radiation, and moving air and water. They are odorless, tasteless and invisible, and we inhale them in abundance in certain environments. For example you may have experienced the power of negative ions when you last set foot on the beach or walked beneath a waterfall or immediately after spring thunderstorms.
What are the proven health effects of negative ions?
Scientific studies have shown that atmospheres charged with negative ions can help to relieve hay fever and asthma symptoms, seasonal depression, fatigue and headaches. It's also been shown that negatively ionized atmospheres improve performance of voluntary movement, increase work capacity, sharpen mental functioning, and reduce error rates.
Negative ions and Lightair IonFlow 50 air purifier.
The LightAir IonFlow Air Purifier generates an extremely high amount of negative ions without producing ozone as a bi-product. Also, because the IonFlow can generate a high amount of negative ions, it's as efficient as the best HEPA filter–based air purifier, but without the noise, high energy consumption and expensive filter change. Add all the amazing benefits of negative ions and you have the ultimate health product!

Natural Flea & Tick Shampoo is good for use on cats of all ages, and kills fleas and ticks on contact. This will not wash out spot-on treatment and is safe and non-toxic.
The Natural Flea & Tick products for cats do not have an age restriction due to the fact that they are comprised of natural oils that are pre-approved by EPA. If Natural Flea & Tick products for cats are used on very young kittens, it is highly recommend that you keep them warm until they are completely dry as young animals are more susceptible to catching cold.

In the late 1980s, Robert Kulperger recognized a growing market demand for natural, yet reliable cleaning products. Being a chemical engineer, he was inspired by nature's ability to continually transform energy and matter quickly and efficiently. It occurred to him that he could harness this ability to eliminate unwanted organic contaminants safely and naturally. Thus, Natural Chemistry was born. In 1989, Natural Chemistry developed a broad spectrum of all-natural enzymes to breakdown unwanted organic contamination in pools and spas. Their powerful natural enzyme technology leads the industry over many manufactured enzymes with superior performance and reliability.
In 2000, they created a patented formula to effectively remove problem-causing orthophosphates from pool water by simply pouring it into the skimmer. PHOSfree continues to be the only phosphate remover that eliminates phosphates on the pool's filter media. In mid 2001, the Natural Chemistry Pet & Home Solutions division was born in the US with the merging of the stain & odor removing enzyme products from Natural Chemistry Canada and the new DeFlea line of non-toxic flea and tick control products in the US. In March of 2002, the DeFlea line of non toxic products was introduced into the pet industry. DeFlea is a highly effective alternative to typical pyrethin-based flea treatments.
In 2005, Instant Pool Water Conditioner modernized the traditional time consuming addition of stabilizer with its fast-acting, easy application formula. The easy pour solution instantly protects chlorine from sunlight loss and reduces the time and hassle of adding regular cyanuric acid. In fall of 2008, Natural Chemistry introduced its new line of Natural Flea and Tick control products. The all-natural blend of botanicals kills fleas and ticks by contact and provides control for up to one week. Late in 2009, they introduced a new line of all-natural dog shampoos. The natural factors are non-irritating to pet's skin and will not wash out any spot-on flea and tick treatments.
Today, Natural Chemistry is the leading manufacturer of specialty products for pool, spa and pet care. Their products are not only highly effective, but also safe for people and pets and the planet. Natural Chemistry understands that the environmental responsibility does not begin and end with manufacturing natural products. It is everyone's duty to manage their environmental impact as they move through the product life cycle. By progressively evaluating their operations and creating consumer awareness, they are enabling the overall efficiency of the company and establishing a better future for the generations to come.

I have played my Blacktop (Black) for about 3 months now.
In hindsight, it is just a great every day bass - good (but not amazing) tone ranges, solid (but not the most solid), easy to play. Looks good - my mother commented that it looked like a racing car :-)
The issue with it, is that it is not the most solid bass in town - I have a P-Bass American Deluxe and you can feel the difference. Having said this, I haven't had any issues with with my Blacktop - I have gigged with it and play it most days; a very comfortable bass.
If you have a top of the range bass that you don't want to wear out, definitely consider one of these P-Bass Blacktops.

When you thought you had all the "basses" covered this fender bass comes along. First of all the finish (black on black) is perfect well finished could not find a flaw and i was looking hard. The neck is fantastic fret and nut work second to none. "c" shaped neck 9.5 radius very nice. The pickups are true monsters they deliver a deep and varied sound you can dial anything rock, metal, jazz blues, it is truly amazing. I have an american fender p deluxe, and american fender jazz and this blacktop is over the top. The tone is very effective the spectrum of sound is very wide from the capacitor. All the hardware is top, the bass feels like it costs more than what they are selling for. Don't let this bass get away it is fabulous leo would have been proud.
bassblast owns this item
I saw and heard this Bass last year around Christmas time. I knew then that I had to have one. My opinion is that this is the most powerful P-Bass EVER!!! I have owned a P-Bass since I was 17. I got my '73 back in 1976 and I still have it. If you play metal this BlackTop will give you all the power you need to destroy all the local clubs in your area. Well worth the $700 plus tax. I named my BlackTop " The Wrecking Ball". This Bass drops low notes equal to small nuclear weapons!!! I own 7 Bass Guitars and thought I had all my bases covered until I heard this Bass. Stop what ever you are doing and go to your guitar shop and get one. You will not be disappointed.

Very comfortable and very playable. I absolutely love the variety of tones that you can get from the two humbuckers. I wish it came in a greater variety of colors.

I went into the Fender dealer thinking I may buy a Jazz Bass. At the time, I already owned two precision's. However, this one caught my eye stright away. It was about $900AUD at the time. Two humbucker jazz pickups in a precision bass body was an excellent blend of what I had and what I was looking for. It combined the best features of what I was really after - a bass that felt and played like the other precision basses I owned, but also the unmistakable jazz bass tone. But after playing a couple of jazz basses, this one stood out with a life of it's own as well. The extra power the humbucking pickups give is really noticable. Fantastic playability, value for money and good tone. The only adjustment I made was to lightly sand down the back of the neck, to get rid of the factory lacquer finish.

Played the Fender Blacktop Precision bass today at my local Fender dealer and I was VERY impressed! Upon picking up the instrument (decked out in Chrome Pearl White) I was immediately struck by how SOLID this bass felt! It did not feel like a Mexican made instrument. I felt like I was picking up one of my vintage/American made Fenders. Good weight (not too heavy, not too light), solid, smooth neck (although I would prefer a little less gloss on the back of the neck. Guess I'll have to wear that off myself by playing it!), solid feeling volume and tone knobs, nicely dressed frets and a big old bridge that says "Hey, I'm one solid mutha-F-ing bass!" Plugging into an SVT stack, the bass immediately impressed with its girth, bottom and clarity. Perfect combo of boom and grit! Found myself playing it for longer than I usually try a bass in a store because it was so easy to play! Notes played even and clear with no obvious dead spots at all. From the very lowest notes to the highest frets, the notes just leapt out of the dual pickups. After playing it for quite a while I finally looked at the price tag that was hanging on the neck and was floored to see a price of just under $500!!!! Thought it had to be mislabeled! Couldn't believe the quality and tone for the money! Nice addition to the Fender line and a bass that will soon be coming home to meet my other Fenders!
