Thanks Rissa!
Pam, gorgeous picture!!! Please congratulate Nick for me.
Thanks Judy!
Congrats, handsome lad. PamSouth
Thank you, it was a great day for all the kids and I was excited to watch them participate and have fun!
You're just a picture taking fool, ain't ya? Looks like a beautiful day to have fun.
I got to help some friends of mine who'd volunteered for the Special Olympics several years ago, That was a remarkable day for me, too.
Congratulations to your boy.
I do take quite a few photos now. It's funny, I have rolls of film from vacations and trips from years ago never developed. Some days I wonder what is on them. Since the digital age and the camera card that goes from one device to another I have become quite a camera fool. As to the special Olympics, this is our first year attending. We never knew it was going on because he was mainstreamed and by the time we found out it was happening or already over. I struggled a bit with the decision but in the end I made a good choice. I was glad they matched the kids up as well as possible and I was also glad he didn't win the 200 meter race, 2nd place was a great way to end the day. The boy who did win matched or beat most of the scores on the regular track events we attend, I hope he is in track where ever he goes to school. It sucks to always loose, so for this day the boy who always finishes last came in first a few times and it was fair. He doesn't have much opportunity to gain self confidence, yesterday he was glowing.
That's great, Pam. I'm smiling just picturing it.
Congrats to your young man and to you!
Thank you, I passed along all the congrats, he enjoys the compliments. I am just riding on this young man's coat tails and he is teaching me something every day. Sometimes I enjoy the lessons, sometimes I don't but I learn either way. This summer might be the first one I have looked forward too for a while. I am usually knee deep in a job somewhere and I begin looking for placement ideas while I am gone from the home. This year because I am not up to par, I am not working, so the lad and I are going to rip, tear, and redo as much as possible. I plan on beginning simple cooking lessons, landscaping the yard, and making this house our home, instead of the previous owners. Whatever we get done will be good, but I can't wait till school is over; we are not going to jump out of bed at 6 a.m. we might have pizza for breakfast, and I am pretty sure we are going to get really dirty (much to his dismay). I have had my eyes opened with the CML, and I am going to enjoy my son and this summer to the best of my ability, even if we end up doing nothing at all but hanging out.
Make sure that your doc is on board with any dirt you're going to be getting in. It can be counterproductive sometimes.
Otherwise, sounds like fun.
They are still shaking their heads at the idea I am trying to move several ton of stone with a wheel barrow and a few shovels. They only threw down the warnings when my platelets were 49,000 and white count was 1.9, since then they have been pretty easy going with restrictions as long as I don't over extend too much. It is going to be another interesting weekend. I just found out I am going to have to do another 9 days of steroids, the facial swelling is not behaving. I was thinking I could probably go out somewhere for dinner on Sunday, instead I will be hitting the high dose again this same day. A picnic is in order I think, away from most humans and around lots of dogs, if not I am not sure I can be responsible for my actions.
For me it was all about immune suppression. When I had to go back on Tacro for GVH, I went from mowing and having a grand old time doing things I hated to the blessed protection of being able to say, "Gosh, I really can't mow the lawn. Let's pay someone to do it." I didn't like the expense. I loved hearing the mower out in the yard...from a distance for a change.
Steroids are immune suppressants but they don't do so on the level of Tacro or cyclosporine. Like I said, if the docs approve it, I've got nothing to say.
Damn and here I was thinking I was going to pull the steroid card because this is my second round of 9 day cycle, "we have to eat out honey, I can't be around raw food it might make me ill"
Well, how much does he really know about the situation?
Worth a try...
Too much, took me a while to share I had leukemia, so now he goes to doc with me, no more 'I will let you know what doc says when I get home' option.
Well, you're not supposed to tell them everything! We need to keep some things to ourselves so we can have some goldbricking time.
Why do ya think I sat on the CML diagnosis for a bit; it's funny, until last October although people thought I was an open person, they usually had little idea on how much I did not share or provide, instead giving small bits of info to leave everyone thinking they knew me well. Since the diagnosis, I have did a complete turn around, I end up sharing a boat load more than I want too, and there is very little hidden for the unknown. I find the concept odd. I am off to bear hunt, determined to add to the photos on here, if not be prepared everyone I am not feeling much like going outside, so that leaves me with cute doggie critters doing cuter actions, so it's either I get bear photos or we are going to have another puppy photo shoot day.
You are aware that bears are dangerous? A black bear can maim and/or kill you pretty easily.
Fun's fun but isn't it better to sit in a bear blind (like your house) and let them come to you? Take some bear repellent if you must go out or, at least, an air horn.
Thanks, appreciate the concern. I respect nature and wild life, but admit to adding humor to my posts, is how I face most things in life good, bad, and ugly. Bears do maim and kill, not because they are always on attack, but usually startled or threatened, or protecting their cubs. I want photos, and better than the ones I took that first night. I have promised my husband (he knows what an idiot I can be) the furthest I will venture out of the house is extending my arm through the sliding door for a close shot with zoom enabled on the camera. I have a board in the patio door that allows it to only open about 4 inches so although I pretend to be adventurous, I am pretty boring. (well except for when people hit my car or leave animals locked in theirs)
I just know that I wouldn't go out in the back woods around here without something. When I got my bear repellent confiscated at DIA and got to spend some time in the TSA office, a local cop came by and said he wouldn't be caught around my house without his gun.
I couldn't tell if he was impressed that I was so brave or awed that I was so stupid but there was some kind of respect there. (Truth is I guess I was kind of stupid..but now only have an air horn.)
Anyway, the story probably sounds more intriguing than it is. I forgot I had the repellent in my camera bag. They kept telling me I had a propellant container of some kind in the bag and I kept telling them they were nuts. Finally they opened it and I damned near dropped a brick. Kind of embarrassing.
Now, if you want an interesting TSA check story, ask me about the time I flew with Barry Switzer. That was funny.
I'm asking I'm asking!
Oh, it was just funny. It was a few months after he got caught with a gun in his carry on at DFW.
Anyway, we were flying out of a small airport in Oklahoma on a short lived regional airline that serviced the more off the map towns. This airport didn't have any kind of screening system so they had to go through your carry on by hand.
So, they finish rifling through Switzer's bag and clear him to go on through and he said something like, "Whew! Made it!" We all broke up laughing. It was just the callback to his other, more exciting airport adventure.
I always had thought he was kind of a dick. I mean, he coached OU and, even though he coached my Boyz, he was questionable. I'd been in OKC through the nonsense that led to his termination at OU and really didn't care for him.
However, we sat across from each other and, though we didn't speak much, anyone who could spend as much time as he did entertaining someone else's kids can't be all dick. I actually wound up liking him.
5 years ago my husband and I spent 8 days in Florida, (this was before the cost of boarding 6 dogs and he turning into a hermit). We flew from Pittsburgh to Miami and did the scenic route throughout the Keys. We had a blast, we tented, but were hardly there, one morning he swears he saw a shark but I still think he has his Fin hat on after we visited Margaritaville and it was his reflection in the water. I was still recovering from the previous night on Duvall. On our return trip we reluctanlty drove back to Miami for an early flight out the next morning, it was 85 there, 6 inches of new snow in PA. We were at the airport camping items checked and ready to go through metal detector, he had the same keys in his pocket on the way down. I walked through just fine, he walked through to bells and whistles, his key chain was a pocket knife, next think I know he was up against the counter and the people holding him there were looking none too friendly. We had 1/2 hour before boarding, I stood a bit away, pretending not to know him but watching to see if they were going to spirit him away. Last boarding call was heard, he would not release the key chain, present from his father, given to him by his father, so two flights later they allowed him to box up the key chain ship it in cargo and TSA escorted him with the sealed box in Pittsburgh out to the truck, I waited 3 hours for him to show up, wondering if he was going too.
I on the other hand many years before just turned into an unthinking idiot. I drove to Cleveland to pick up my son, he was coming in from Arizona from a visit with his father. This was pre 9/11 but guns were frowned upon even then. I had a huge bag I kept for anything/everything my son or I might need but forgot to take out my pistol. I have several but this one is called a 22 long rifle because of the shell it uses, but the name is amusing because it is about 4 inches in length. I carry it everywhere, not great for a long shot but would get attention close range. I walked through the airport to the arrival gate, the plane was late I cleaned out my bag, had everything on the chair beside me never thinking of that pistol laying in a small form fitting pouch, no secret to what it was. I organized my items, the plane came and my son and I headed to the truck. I was almost out in the parking lot when a man walked up beside me and said, 'I have seen some ballsy moves in my life but either you are the stupidest woman on the planet or you are the bravest, I can't figure out which. I had no idea what he was talking about. Somehow he must have read the confusion on my face, he said, 'Do you realize you not only carried a pistol in an airport, you laid it out for over a half hour for everyone to see?' I had no idea, none, never ever dawned on me. Luck, pure luck I was not thrown in jail and the key (or me) tossed in Lake Erie.
I've had three separate TSA incidents myself (all post-9/11). Once I was carrying my computer bag with the little repair kit I kept with it. There were little pokey things that worried the guard. They wouldn't let me through with it. They offered to have it mailed home for something like $7.95. That's about what the kit cost so I let them toss it.
The second time I was not in the mood. I chose not to take my shoes off and had to get patted down. The TSA agent in charge was a real asshole. She had to prove her authority. The guy that did the pat down was nice, respectful and wasn't really a problem, except he had his hand running inside my pants. I wasn't happy.
Then there was the time I carried on the bear repellent. If I'd remembered how much it cost I would have asked if they'd mail it back to my house (I'm sure they wouldn't have been able to).
Ever since they installed the scanners I've decided enough is enough. I won't fly except when time is a crucial factor. I'll take the train or drive from here on out. I'm hoping a number of others will have a like mind and that it will affect air travel even more forcing the government to relax this nonsense.
To my knowledge, Barry Switzer is the most terrible offender they've ever caught at the security screening. But this is supposed to be the land of the free and home of the brave. I'm not playing that idiot game.
I don't know what you plan to do with the .22 but I trust you're remembering to take it out of your bag before flying these days?
I keep it in the glove box of the car. Where I am the car is usually not far away. I have a 9mm here at the house. I grew up with a houseful of hunters, my mother one of the most avid. Although I never picked up the sport, I appreciate weapons and enjoy shooting.

I hope you meant that he ran his pants on the inseam and not actually inside your pants. Otherwise, he owes you dinner.
Somehow, I was waiting on that comment.
I wish I'd meant that. He had his jeans under the belt and button. Didn't get so far down as the zipper area so he kept it clean. Nobody was buying anybody dinner after that little fracas. It ended up getting the police involved (in a very, very minor way). I'm surprised I was allowed to board and that I'm not on a watch list, actually.
I do not like the restrictions we have to fly. Just another place where we are not factually assumed innocent but, rather, have to establish our innocence first. The whole Bush administration response to 9/11 was so unconstitutional and downright un-American. One of the things I haven't been pleased with about our current president is the number of holdovers from Bush's overreaction he's kept around, and I'm not talking about Bill Gates. I think he's one of the few truly rational people in DC.
You guys are soooo funny I regularly fly with my knitting and crochet needles, the double pointed ones to make socks......haven't been stopped yet! Thanks for making me smile today----its been a rough day for the entire family (not related to any illness---but related to heat, and guys trying to take the tires off of a hay rack that had the tires on it for the last 20 years--so of course they were rusted on, and even the impact wrench could not get them off,---eventually everything worked out, but not without a lot of tears, cuss words, and frustration on everyone's part).
There are days that cuss word and tears are the only way I get through. As for flying, perhaps we all look like hooligans, so we are treated as such.

Technically, our appearance isn't supposed to have anything to do with it. Of course, any young black man in an urban area can, apparently, testify that it really does.
This started as such a nice thread. Why do I find myself wanting to spit nails now?

Dirty Tackle
Marseille striker threatens to sue Burger King over Whopper adBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle7 hrs ago
Hefty Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac is threatening legal action against Burger King over a newspaper ad poking fun at his weight. The fast food chain is taking a second crack at the French market and as part of their relaunch, they decided to use a twist on PSG fans' popular "a Big Mac for Gignac" chant.
So they swapped out the name of McDonald's burger for their own in an ad that appeared in Marseille newspapers.

Future News: Tottenham declare that it would be nice if Real Madrid just gave Gareth Bale back to themBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle9 hrs ago
Spurs have announced that they're not asking for Real Madrid to give them back Gareth Bale, but if the Spanish giants decide to do it on their own, it would be very, very nice of them. This comes after Bale scored the winning goal against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final in dramatic fashion, while Tottenham hope to retain sixth place in the Premier League.
"We're not proposing that Real Madrid return Gareth to us in exchange for their money back because we've already spent all of the money on seven lottery tickets," Spurs chairman Daniel Levy mumbled to himself while eating his breakfast this morning. "So that's out. But if Real Madrid would like to just give Gareth Bale back to us as a gift, it would be impolite to refuse. And we certainly wouldn't want to be rude to such a kind, generous, understanding and dare I say handsome club."
Spurs have regressed this season without the star who scored seven match-winning goals for them last year. The seven players brought in last summer with the money raised from the record sale haven't managed to make up for the loss of Bale, perhaps giving the club a twinge of seller's remorse.
Thousands of fake World Cup trophies confiscated in ChinaBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle16 hrs ago
While the real World Cup trophy continues its global tour before meeting its new owner in Brazil, Chinese authorities have confiscated thousands of fakes intended to be sold in different corners of the planet. The latest haul discovered by Chinese customs officers in Yiwu consisted of 1,020 golden counterfeit trophies that were on their way to be sold in Libya. Before that, 1,008 fake trophies were found about 490 miles of Yiwu in Xiamen.
The real World Cup trophy is made of 18 carat gold with two layers of green malachite in the base. A gold-plated replica is given to the winning nation to keep, since FIFA learned their lesson after the tournament's original prize — the Jules Rimet trophy — was stolen and recovered while on display in England in 1966. It was stolen again in Brazil, who were allowed to keep it forever after winning it a third time, in 1983 and has never been recovered.
Gareth Bale has Twitter conversation with a football after Copa del Rey winRyan Bailey at Dirty Tackle1 day ago
In the aftermath of Real Madrid's Copa del Rey final victory over Barcelona, Gareth Bale celebrated his incredible winning goalin customary fashion by posing with the trophy wearing a scarf on his head and riding on an open-top bus through Madrid in the early hours of Thursday morning. (Note how they didn't let Sergio Ramos hold the trophy on the bus this year.)
Somewhere amid the jubilation, the world's most expensive player also found the time to go on Twitter to have a chat with the match ball.
Cristiano Ronaldo consoles Lionel Messi after the Copa del Rey finalBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day ago
Hey bud. You OK? I'm sorry you lost, but, you know, someone had to. And I'm glad it wasn't us. So that's...a...tough one.
It's a shame we couldn't play tonight. Oh, you did play? Well good for you! Maybe I was just watching my teammates and the players who scored goals too closely. That's probably why I didn't see you out there. By the way, do you like my hat? I'm trying to make suits with a baseball cap the new thing. I'm pretty sure it's working. I'd say you should try it, but then you would look like you're trying to copy me. Maybe you should do a fedora with a tracksuit. It's just an idea, but it could work for you. Think about it.

Gareth Bale speeds past Marc Bartra to score Copa del Rey winner, Ronaldo goes nuts in the standsBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day ago
With Cristiano Ronaldo unable to play in the Copa del Rey final due to injury, Gareth Bale, one of the most expensive footballers in the world, stepped up and scored a later winner for Real Madrid with a tremendous burst of speed. And he did it against Barcelona, no less.
Angel Di Maria opened the scoring in the 11th minute for Real Madrid and the lead held into the second half. Marc Bartra did come up with an equalizer for Barca in the 68th minute, but his night would soon get much, much worse.
In the 88th minute, Bale knocked the ball out in front of himself as he battled with Bartra near the touchline. The Barca defender forced Bale off the pitch, but this prompted the Welshman to turn on his exceptional speed, making Bartra look like he was running in sand as Bale beat him to the ball and scored the winner. Cristiano Ronaldo partied in the stands like every other Madridista watching and the Barcelona fans made their feelings known by giving Bale the finger as he celebrated with his back to them.
Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone lives out his worst nightmareBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day ago
Last-place Sunderland were minutes away from a shocking 2-1 win over the best-paid team in the world, Man City. The win would've given Sunderland hope that they could somehow avoid relegation, but instead the scene was set for goalkeeper Vito Mannone to endure the longest moment of his life.
A low shot from Samir Nasri in the 88th minute seemed easy enough for Mannone to deal with, but after it hit him square in the hands, the ball squirted away from the former Arsenal keeper and started trickling towards the goal. In his desperation to stop it, Mannone attempted to will his uncooperative body after it, moving like a snake pumped full of tranquilizers. Despite this torturous eternity, the ball ended up in the net and City got their late equalizer.
You had ONE job, Vito. https://t.co/8uoIJuTtrc
Mannone's pain was all of the pain ever felt by mankind.
The match ended in a 2-2 draw, though Nasri had a chance to score a winner for City moments after his first goal. Sunderland remain in last place and Mannone will never sleep again.

PAOK-Olympiacos match delayed by giant ring of flares and smoke, plus a fish covered benchBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day ago
PAOK lost the first leg of their Greek Cup semifinal 2-1 at Olympiacos, so their fans were eager to create an intimidating atmosphere for the return leg. To do this, they turned the stands into a giant ring of flares and smoke as the players walked out onto the pitch before kickoff, creating a surreal hellscape that would surely intimidate just about anyone.
As the players lined up for handshakes, stewards picked up the flares thrown onto the pitch while the stands disappeared behind massive clouds of smoke. But as dangerous as this might look, it's actually very tame compared to the far more violent fan activities at Greek matches in recent years.
The match was delayed, however, due to all the flares and the fact that PAOK fans put fish all over Olympiacos' bench. Seriously.

Gary Neville criticizes West Ham's Matt Jarvis for not divingRyan Bailey at Dirty Tackle2 days ago
In the 16th minute of West Ham's visit to Arsenal on Tuesday evening, Matt Jarvis was clearly fouled in the area by Bacary Sagna. But, instead of going to ground like 99.9% of Premier League players would, the Hammers winger stayed on his feet and attempted to chase the ball down.
For the heroic act of not diving, Jarvis was praised by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger:
"I am grateful for that," Wenger said on Jarvis' decision not to go down. "I don't think it was a penalty, but he touched him yes. Can you be too honest? I leave you that judgment.
Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville, however, didn't feel the same way. When the host of Sky's post-match coverage suggested that Jarvis deserved credit for staying up, the former Manchester Utd star sarcastically responded:
"Well done, your team haven't won a game! You can either be an angel and do what Matt Jarvis did and get a pat on the back off his Nan when he goes home tonight, or he can win his team a penalty. "

Hi Everyone! Just wondering who out there is using Betagen and what they think about it. I used to use it back in the early 2000's. I can't say I was really aware of what it was doing for me, but I was told it would help me build and tone my muscles, and recover quicker. I was in pretty decent shape back then...so, it couldn't have been hurting me!!! I haven't taken it since then and when I decided to do the challenge went back to get it on the menu again. I had read that they stopped producing it for a bit, but now it's back? Anyone know the deal with that?
What are other's thoughts on it, Yeah, or Neh? I'm only on day 6 of the challenge so I haven't had the time to decifer yet!
I too would love to know the answer to this. I did BFL in 2006 and Betagen was very popular and talked of often on these boards. I thought it was used for muscle soreness. Anyone?
dilly05 & tpup,
In 2009 we switched from the former Betagen packaging to powder packets to make the product more portable. At that time Betagen was renamed to Reload. In late 2011 we transitioned back to the Betagen name to regain product recognition to loyal consumers of the former Betagen, while keeping a smaller packaging style for portability.
Hope that helps answer your questions!
~Tiffany, the BFL Team
I am using betagen. Not frequently though. This is my first week doing the challenge, so I am still trying to get into a routine.
I am using it two times a day, approximately every 12 hours. It says to use it more than that, but I didn't want to overdo it. Hopefully it will be enough to help with results and recovery!! It's hard because you have nothing to compare to, if you weren't using it. (or if you aren't using it, what your results would be if you were!)

What 3 Big Google Updates Mean for Your SEO Strategy
Recent changes to Google's search algorithm, its keyword planner tool and the availability of search query data may have you rethinking your SEO and online marketing strategies, but experts say it's best not to overthink things.
Wed, October 16, 2013
CIO — In recent months, Google has made three significant changes to its offerings. Each has both minor and major implications for search engine optimization (SEO) and online marketing.
Google remains by far the dominant search engine, with 67 percent of the overall market, according to comScore. Whenever it revises, gets rid of, adds to or otherwise changes its search-related services, then, search marketing professionals take note.
The three recent updates are Google Hummingbird, which is a complete overhaul to Google's search engine algorithm, the encryption of all search data and the switch to the new Keyword Planner tool.
SEO and online marketing professionals say the cumulative effect of these changes underscores the growing importance of three things: Optimizing for natural language and mobile search, not focusing too intently on keywords for SEO and, above all, keeping your sites set on regularly publishing high-quality content.
Now more than ever, says Jayson DeMers, founder and CEO of AudienceBloom, an SEO, social media and guest blogging service, you need a "solid content marketing strategy."
Google Hummingbird: Now Supporting 'Conversational Search'
What is it? On Sept. 26, on its 15th birthday, Google announced it had dramatically rewritten its search algorithm for the first time in at least a dozen years. Google is calling the revamped algorithm "Hummingbird," according to Search Engine Land, because it's "precise and fast."
(In a surprise to many, Google also announced that the algorithm change had been in place for more than one month.)
More: Google Turns 15 and Celebrates By Smartening Up Search
"Google Hummingbird is a complete algorithm makeover, designed to do a better job of understanding the intent of long-tail search queries as well as spoken and natural language search queries," DeMers says. (A long-tail search query includes more than a few words. Google Hummingbird is a short-tail query, while What does Google Hummingbird mean for SEO? is a long-tail query.)
Hummingbird is meant to deliver the best results for "conversational search." Such queries are occurring more frequently as people ask questions of their smartphones — a habit that carries over to desktop searches as well.
What does it do? In a Google Hummingbird FAQ, Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan used the long-tail query What's the closest place to buy the iPhone 5s to my home? as an example of how Hummingbird differs from the previous Google search engine algorithm.

The Emergency Medicine Interest Group (EMIG) at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine allows medical students an inside look into one of the most competitive specialties in medicine.
Residencies in emergency medicine are increasingly sought after due to its inherent patient and case variety, fast pace and excellent compatibility with both family and personal life.
Meetings are held every month and include hands-on seminars in techniques such as suturing, wound closure, and airway management. Presentations are also made by noted attending physicians in emergency medicine, and cover important case studies and ways to improve the student's chances of earning an EM residency. EMIG students are also afforded opportunities to shadow in local Emergency Departments with current residents and attending physicians, participate in ride time with local EMS units, and even participate in regional SWAT Team training in a role-playing capacity.
Student Representatives for 2013-2014
The EMIG faculty advisor is Stacey Poznanski, D.O. Josh Klepinger ('15) is president. Contact Josh at firstname.lastname@example.com or your class EMIG representative with any questions.

Cased Images
At almost every lecture, someone approaches me with a question about a small box or book-like
item they found in with the family photographs.
If you have one or two in your collection, treat them with care and respect. They are the earliest types of
photographs and provide you with a glimpse into life in the mid-nineteenth century.
Typically three types of images were placed in cases: daguerrotypes, ambrotypes and tintypes.
A daguerreotype is a sheet of polished silver covered in light-sensitive chemicals and exposed to light. The resulting portraits were initially crude and miraculous. Never before had individuals seen such a clear and unflattering portrait of themselves. The final product was a realistic portrait of an individual that could be obtained in a short period of time.
These images were one of kind. The technology did not exist to make multiple copies at the same time.
Popular in the mid-1850s, they consist of a piece of glass coated with a photo chemical known as collodion, a mixture of gun cotton and ether. The end result is a negative image until backed with a dark piece of cloth or fabric. The image is then viewed as a positive.
Just like the daguerreotype, ambrotypes were a one of a kind image.
Tintypes or Ferrotypes have a fascinating history. It was the first photographic process invented in the United States and its longevity is only surpassed by the paper print.
A tintype resembles a daguerreotype only because it is an image on metal. Unlike the daguerreotype and ambrotype, multiple tintypes could be made at a sitting. A tintype was inexpensive to produce, and it took less than a minute to walk out of a photographer's studio with one in hand.
My Preserving Your Family Photographs book explains how to identify each of these forms of cased images along with care instructions.
If you think you may be in possession of a cased image and would like some help identifying it, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Cubby's, a barbecue restaurant in Hackensack, New Jersey, is on an undistinguished strip of discount stores and parking lots not far from Costco and the Bergen County Courthouse. It would be within sight of the Bergen County Jail, if the jail had better sight lines. Amid such surroundings, Cubby's stands out. The parking lot is elaborately landscaped, with thick beds of pink and white impatiens, grassy banks, and well-placed evergreen shrubs, in the manner of a suburban funeral home. Inside, the place is half steak house, half burger joint, with reproduction Tiffany lamps suspended over Formica tables, and gilt-edged mirrors hanging near framed snapshots of sports celebrities and clippings from local newspapers lauding the ribs. On one wall, an enormous mural depicts the skyline of downtown Manhattan with the World Trade Center intact. Customers place orders at the front counter; behind it, on a board, is the menu, which ranges from hot dogs to twenty-seven-dollar T-bone steaks. A hand-painted sign showing a dyspeptic pig in a chef's hat hangs next to a placard that reads "Where's the pork?"
At lunchtime, the place is full of regulars: local businessmen and lawyers from the courthouse, all of whom the proprietor, Robert Egan, greets with a clap on the back or a hearty "What's up, bro?" Egan, who is forty-nine and is known as Bobby, is of Irish descent on his father's side and Italian on his mother's. He is more than six feet tall and burly, with a shock of black hair. He has dark eyes, incipient jowls, and a manner that can change in a moment from expansively genial to theatrically menacing. If you were casting a local television commercial for a Union City car dealership and needed someone who could evoke Robert De Niro in his fleshier, mid-career period, Bobby Egan would be your man.
Egan, who has run Cubby's for twenty-five years, is well known in Hackensack, though not solely for the quality of his ribs. For nearly fifteen years, he has served as a kind of unofficial ambassador—a go-between and a gofer—for the government of North Korea. He is, as he puts it, "Kim Jong Il's guy in New Jersey." Dozens of photographs on his restaurant walls offer testimony to Egan's improbable involvement in international diplomacy. Among the pictures of friendly Giants and Yankees are several images of besuited, slightly ill-at-ease-looking Asian men posing at Cubby's. "That's Minister Han, before he became Ambassador here," Egan said to me, pointing to a youthful, bespectacled man in a blue suit. (Han Song Ryol, who joined North Korea's U.N. delegation in 1993, ended his tenure as Ambassador last year and returned to Pyongyang.) "And that's Ambassador Ho Jong." (Ho left his post in 1994.) In another photograph, a gentleman with the same black hair and grin as Egan stands with a beaming young female athlete, Kye Sun Hui. "That's my dad at the Atlanta Olympics, in '96," Egan said. "She won the judo title when she was just sixteen. She's a hero in North Korea. She still asks about me."
In one corner of the restaurant is a photograph showing a dreary skyline, shot from what looks like a viewing platform. "That's Pyongyang," Egan said. "That's when they gave me my pin." The pin to which he refers bears an image of Kim Il Sung, the father of North Korea's Stalinist state, who died in 1994, and whose son is Kim Jong Il, its current leader. North Koreans wear similar pins as a sign of respect for their head of state. Egan keeps his pin in a small, cluttered back office at Cubby's. "I'm told there are only two Westerners that have pins—me and some guy from Romania," Egan said. "I got the pin at the end of my first trip. They inducted me into their family. They said, 'You are part of us.' I thought, When in Rome, I'm Roman."
Above a corner booth at Cubby's is a clipping from the front page of the Times, dated November 3, 2002, with the headline "NORTH KOREA SAYS NUCLEAR PROGRAM CAN BE NEGOTIATED." (At the time, North Korea—formally known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or D.P.R.K.—was still three years away from announcing that it had detonated a nuclear device.) Ambassador Han is quoted as saying that his country was willing to dismantle its secret uranium-enrichment facilities, in spite of having been branded by President George W. Bush, in that year's State of the Union address, as a member of "an Axis of Evil." The Ambassador, the article recounts, had asked to be interviewed by the paper: "The North Korean Mission contacted the Times through a New Jersey restaurateur, Robert Egan, who is the chairman of a trade group that has worked to improve ties between the United States and North Korea." Egan, explaining his identification in the newspaper of record, said, "You have to have a reason to move around in a country like that, so the North Koreans made me the president of the U.S.A.-D.P.R.K. Trade Council, or some president of some trade council."
Egan first travelled to North Korea in 1994. He says that he has made "between four and six" visits since then. He has never met Kim Jong Il, who is highly reclusive, and whose political intentions and personal tastes—including a reported fondness for slasher films, luxury cars, and basketball—have been the subject of much speculation in the West. "I was on the same platform as Kim Jong Il when I got that pin," Egan told me. "But he was up there, and I was down here. It would be very difficult for me to sit down with him or meet him, because they keep him very isolated." Egan says that he respects Kim as a leader, just as he respects Bush as a leader, although there are important differences between the two men. "Put it this way, O.K.? I'd rather have George Bush mad at me than Kim Jong Il," Egan said one day at Cubby's, leaning confidentially over the table. "I have no problem with George Bush coming in the restaurant and yelling and screaming at me. I would sleep real good that night. I wouldn't want to get His Excellency Kim Jong Il angry. I wouldn't sleep well that night."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Morgantown businessman John Raese asked West Virginia University's Board of Governors on Wednesday to hire an independent investigator to look into WVU's pending third-tier media rights deal with IMG College.
Raese also wants the investigator to review scoreboard purchases for Mountaineer Field and the Coliseum in 2008.
WVU and West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey are examining a tentative agreement the university has signed with Winston Salem, N.C.-based IMG College. Raese called for an "external investigation, completely independent of WVU," according to a letter sent to board members Wednesday.
"There needs to be a third-party investigator, somebody who's fair and objective and has credibility with all parties," said Bob Gwynne, a lawyer for Raese-owned Greer Industries. "It shouldn't be somebody connected to the university."
WVU purchasing officials are reviewing the media rights contract, while Morrisey is representing the university during the examination.
Raese has alleged that WVU broke state and university purchasing regulations when it agreed to sign a "letter of intent" with IMG College to handle WVU's third-tier media rights, which cover some televised non-Big 12 Conference football and basketball games, radio broadcasts, non-revenue sports, coaches shows, online content, signage and seatback sales.
IMG is negotiating a partnership with West Virginia Media Holdings under the media rights contract, according to sources familiar with the deal. WVU Board of Governors' Chairman Drew Payne serves on West Virginia Media's board of directors and held a major stake in the company until last year. Payne, who stands to gain financially from the deal, has said he played no role in a special committee's decision to award the media rights contract tentatively to IMG College and West Virginia Media.
In his letter to WVU on Wednesday, Raese said Payne has a "duty of loyalty to both entities which creates the conflict of interest.
"As I understand it, he did not notify the Board of Governors of the conflict or the need to be recused," Raese wrote.
The Raese-owned Dominion Post newspaper recently quoted WVU's chief lawyer as saying Board of Governors members were updated on the media rights deal in late January. The Board of Governors didn't have a meeting scheduled that month, according to meeting agendas and minutes.

4 Best Stocking-Ready Headphones Under $15
By Louis DeNicola, Cheapism.com
Related: Best cheap android tablets under $200
Need a last-minute stocking stuffer? A pair of inexpensive headphones may be just the ticket. Although audiophiles will want something more powerful, most people are happy with a basic pair that keeps the music flowing. Earphones make the perfect companion on a run or at the gym, and it's always great to have an extra pair just in case.
Related: Is Amazon always cheap(er)?
Cheapism.com has found four well-rated headphones available for less than $15. Three out of four are earbud-style in-ear headphones, which are lightweight and can easily be slipped into a pocket or bag, making them ideal for a smartphone or MP3 player. They also may help prevent outside noise from creeping in. One potential downside: The tips or pads that fit on the buds may fall off and get lost at some point. Extras are included with the earphones and come in different sizes to fit most anybody's ears.
Related: Top inexpensive laptops under $500
The other recommended budget option is a pair of on-ear headphones. As the name implies, they sit on top of the ear rather than in it or around it. Some users prefer this design and find it more comfortable than earbuds.

A hip labral tear involves the ring of soft elastic tissue, called the labrum, that follows the outside rim of the socket of your hip joint. The labrum acts like a socket to hold the ball at the top of your thighbone (femur) in place.
Athletes who participate in such sports as ice hockey, soccer, football, golf and ballet are at higher risk of developing a hip labral tear. Structural abnormalities of the hip also can lead to a hip labral tear.
Symptoms include hip pain or a "catching" sensation in your hip joint. Initial treatment may include pain relievers and physical therapy. Using arthroscopic techniques, surgeons can remove loose fragments from within the joint and trim or repair the hip labral tear.
Many hip labral tears cause no signs or symptoms. Occasionally, however, you may experience one or more of the following:
The cause of a hip labral tear may be:
The following factors may increase your risk of a hip labral tear:
A hip labral tear may predispose you to develop osteoarthritis in that joint in the future.
While you may initially consult your family physician, he or she may refer you to a doctor who specializes in hip disorders or sports medicine.
You may want to write a list that includes:
Because your time with your doctor may be limited, it's a good idea to prepare your questions ahead of time. For a hip labral tear, some questions you might want to ask include:
Your doctor may ask:
During the physical exam, your doctor will move your leg, and especially your hip joint, around in various positions to check for pain and evaluate your hip's range of motion. He or she may also want to watch you walk. Your doctor may also check the musculoskeletal and neurological health of your hip joint and leg by testing your:
A hip labral tear rarely occurs in isolation. In most cases, other structures within the hip joint have also sustained injuries. Diagnostic tests can help determine exactly what's going on inside your joint.
Hip pain can be caused by problems within the joint or outside the joint. Your doctor may suggest injecting an anesthetic into the joint space. If this relieves your pain, it's likely that your problem is inside your hip joint.
Treatment choices will depend on the severity of your symptoms. Some people recover in a few weeks with conservative treatments, while others may require arthroscopic surgery to repair or remove the torn portion of the labrum.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve, others), can relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
Pain can also be controlled with an injection of corticosteroids into the joint.
A physical therapist can teach you exercises to maximize hip range of motion and improve hip strength and stability. A physical therapist can also analyze the movements you perform that put stress on your hip joint and help you avoid these forces.
If you have a hip labral tear and experience hip pain for more than four to 12 weeks despite physical therapy, or if you have mechanical symptoms of your hip locking, your doctor may recommend arthroscopic surgery — in which a fiber-optic camera and surgical tools are inserted via small incisions in your skin.
Depending on the cause and extent of the tear, the surgeon may cut out and remove the torn piece of labrum or repair the torn tissue by sewing it back together.
Many people are able to return to sports within four to six months after the surgery.
After an injury such as a hip labral tear, one of the first things you need to do is rest your hip and modify your activity so that you avoid jarring motions.
Your doctor may prescribe prescription-strength NSAIDs, or he or she may recommend over-the-counter medications, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve, others), to help lessen your pain.
A common cause of hip labral tear is athletic trauma or repetitive stress from athletic activity. Proper training and conditioning of commonly used muscles and those that support them might help reduce the risk of a hip labral tear.

The Chicago Fire is proud to show its ongoing support for the Greater Chicago Food Depository by participating in the organization's Social Donation Plate campaign. The objective of the campaign is to help raise awareness and collect funds for hunger relief this holiday season.
The campaign features special, customized social donation plates from prominent Chicago figures, institutions and teams. Supporters of the cause will be asked to virtually "sign" their favorite plate and make a modest donation. Once a donation is made, the user experience allows individuals to "pass the plate" to friends via social media.
In support of hunger relief, the Fire has created a social donation plate for fans and supporters to virtually sign and pass along within the community.
"We're happy to continue our partnership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository and assist them in their efforts to raise awareness and funds for hunger relief," said Chicago Fire Senior Director of Community Relations Jessica Yavitz. "I think the social donation plate campaign is a great way for our fans to engage in the cause, as well. We're thrilled to help promote this unique project and collaborate to end hunger in our community."

One of my favorite days of the year is the day the MLS schedule is released.
For many fans, this announcement means compiling a list of blackout days where the Fire are playing at Toyota Park. For Fire fans not residing in the Chicagoland area, it means finding out when the Men in Red will be visiting your nearest MLS team. But for someone like me who has been on quite a few road trips (over 50 but not as many as this guy), the schedule release day means not only looking at the home fixtures but also the away ones.
Questions I asked myself earlier today: Does Toronto away fall on weekend instead of a Wednesday night? How much does it cost to fly to Portland in March? These important questions get answered on this special day.
With that in mind, let's take a look at five exciting dates in the 2014 Fire calendar:
Week 2 – Portland away – Saturday, March 15
Ever since Portland came into the league in 2011, the Fire supporters umbrella, Section 8 Chicago, has had a very good relationship with the Timbers Army, Portland's main supporters group. The relationship is based on mutual respect and a shared "dislike" of all things Seattle.
Fire fans are always treated well in Portland and it's not uncommon for Fire and Timbers fans to hang out before and after the games, something you would never see Fire fans doing in Columbus or Kansas City.
The atmosphere at JELD-Wen Field is also second to none. Though is certainly isn't going to be the easiest away trip on the field or the lightest on the wallet, I think we will see quite a few Fire fans making the trip to Portland in Week 2 instead of traveling to LA to watch the Fire face Chivas in the season opener.
Week 6 & 22 – Montreal away – Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, August 16
The Fire were the Montreal Impact's opponents in the Canadian club's first home MLS back in 2012 and I was lucky enough to be at the game and had a great time.
That game was played indoors at the Olympic Stadium with a less than favorable playing surface – something many of the Fire fans observed firsthand the day before the game when we were invited to watch the team train (see photo above).
Now the Impact have Saputo Stadium refurbished, which provides another incentive for traveling Fire fans who may not have gotten there earlier this year.
Montreal is also a unique MLS city for a number of reasons. I can't think of another MLS city where fans can brush up on their French by talking to the locals or take in the spectacular Notre-Dame basilica while eating some amazing poutine!
Montreal can be quite cold in April, but luckily for Fire fans, the April date is only the first time the Men in Red visit The City of Saints. I hear the weather is a lot nicer in mid-August, when the Fire visit for the second time.
Week 11 – Columbus away – Saturday, May 24
Columbus or Fire House East as many Fire fans call it is the closest away trip of the season distance wise. Due to this fact, the number of Fire fans attending this match is exponentially bigger than most other away games.
In 2001, Fire fans went to Crew Stadium in their hundreds, even when the Fire was not playing! The Fire had been knocked out in the Conference Semifinals by the Los Angeles Galaxy and many fans turned up to cheer against LA (and for the then Frank Yallop-led San Jose Earthquakes) at MLS Cup.
There have been many highs experienced in Columbus, such as Paulo Wanchope's winning goal in a 2007 match after the game was delayed due to a torrential downpour. Fire fans were also 45 minutes away from MLS Cup in 2008 but for a Crew comeback in the second half which left Fire fans, including myself, devastated. There's also the 2012 invasion which saw 600 Fire supporters make the trek.
The Fire only play once at Fire House East this season and I expect to see a lot of red behind the goal on May 24.
Week 16 & 32 Kansas City away –Sunday, July 6 & Friday, October 10
Kansas City is another road trip that fans have attended in large numbers throughout the years. My first trip to Kansas City was a disappointing one, with the Fire losing to the Kansas City Wizards in the final of the U.S. Open Cup in 2004.
Since then, the Kansas franchise has a new name and a soccer specific stadium. You can no longer play the count the crowd game that we often did when the Wizards played at Arrowhead Stadium.
- DOWNLOAD: 2014 Home Regular Season Schedule (PDF)
Most fans travel to this game by bus thus skipping the "delights" of downtown Kansas City and the bus ride does offer one cool treat – a visit to the world's largest truck stop in Iowa.
Though SKC are not really a Fire rival (despite efforts made by the KC front office to make it into something bigger) there is certainly a dislike between the players and fans on both sides.
With the October 11 game coming so late in the season, it may be a pivotal one in terms of Playoff positioning.
Week 23 – Toronto away – Saturday, August 23
By far my favorite MLS city to travel to is Toronto. It's roughly the same distance from Chicago as Kansas City and again many fans travel to Canada on supporter's buses.
Each visit, Fire fans shack up at a great hostel where we run into soccer fans from all over the world. Toronto itself is a great city aside from the prohibitive drinking laws on weekends (who doesn't want to have a pint at 10am while watching the Premier League the next morning?).
BMO Field is located right on the shores of Lake Ontario and is thus left exposed and is often windy and chilly but the warm pies served at some of the concessions stands are an excellent halftime treat.
On the field, the Fire have had some good success against a TFC team that has languished near the bottom of the MLS table since starting in 2007. Thankfully, this match is on a Saturday in August so I expect a much larger contingent of Fire fans to attend.

It comes as little surprise, just a day after being named one of three finalists for the MLS Most Valuable Player award, gathered another important accolade Thursday as he was vote Section 8 Chicago's Supporters Player of the Year.
The award comes on the heels of Magee already taking the Club's Most Valuable Player and Golden Boot award just prior to the end of the 2013 regular season.
Mike will be on hand Saturday at A.J. Hudson's Public House (3801 N. Ashland) to receive his award and check for $1,500 to donate to the charity of his choice. The event begins at 6pm CT with the ceremony taking place at halftime of the MLS Eastern Conference Final Leg 2 between Sporting KC and Houston Dynamo.
See you there!
It's the end of the road for the U.S. Men's National Team in 2013...
Qualified for next summer's FIFA World Cup for two months, Jurgen Klinsmann will take a last look at his side with a pair of European friendlies beginning this afternoon at Scotland (LIVE 2pm CT on ESPN2, UniMas & WatchESPN). They'll close out the calendar year with another friendly Tuesday at Austria (LIVE 1:45pm CT on NBC Sports Network, UniMas).
Here's hoping Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson gets some time in one of the matches over the next week.
While the USMNT can continue their prep for Brazil, a number of European and African sides are still playing for their World Cup lives this weekend.
A full schedule of the games and where you can watch them on the TV set:
Friday - (UEFA First Legs)

It was a balmy 32 degrees for this morning's Toyota Park Transit Center groundbreaking and though it's not much to look at now, there's plenty of reason to be excited for the new Pace facility, scheduled to open next year, which will include an indoor waiting area.
Congressman Daniel Lipinski and Bridgeview Mayor and Illinois State Senator Steven M. Landek were on-hand to christen the new project which is expected to increase access to public transportation for the residents of Bridgeview, along with people visiting Chicago Fire soccer matches, concerts and other events.
According to Pace, there are additional plans to include the area of Harlem Avenue around Toyota Park in its Arterial Rapid Transit express bus network, and the transit center will serve as a hub for local bus routes to connect with the express service and one another.
The Toyota Park Transit Center announcement, coupled with the recent opening of the 71st Street underpass, is welcomed news for Fire supporters as both projects should facilitate travel for soccer fans to come to Toyota Park, as well as lessen the potential for traffic and parking congestion on game days.

Freddie Christiano has been a Fire fan since the club's inaugural 1998 season and counts Piotr Nowak, Zach Thornton and Sean Johnson as his favorite Fire players of all-time.
Fans spoke loud and clear to determine the winning design and Christiano became more than just a fan on Tuesday night as his design, which garnered a majority of the fan vote, was unveiled as the #cf97ThirdKit winner at the club's 16th Anniversary Party at Toyota Park. I caught up with Freddie on Wednesday to get the lowdown on how it felt to see his design become a part of club history.
JC: You probably had a little tension going to the party last night. How did you approach the announcement?
FC: I was really nervous because I was up against quality designs – one being the [light blue] kit that I know a lot of fans really wanted to see and the white one which definitely would have fit in with what the Fire have going on with their home and away kits right now.
JC: So, Logan Pause and Gonzalo Segares lift the drape over the design and you see it's yours… Describe the euphoria.
FC: At that moment I didn't even know what I was thinking. I was super relieved that it was over and that my jersey was up there. It meant a lot because I worked hard on it and knowing that it got chosen against those other two quality designs meant the Fire community really dug it. Playing soccer and following the Fire – when you can't be out on the field as a player, I think this might be the next best thing to be a part of the team forever.
JC: While your design isn't straight up "Municipal Chicago" it does have some more subtle marks to pay homage to the city. One mark is the skyline element on the back of the shirt… Explain it for more clarity.
FC: The stripe on the front was a representation of the Chicago flag colors with the blue and white stripes and when it wraps around it makes a silhouette of the Sears [Willis] Tower.
JC: How much has your phone been buzzing since the announcement?
FC: Friends and family that voted, I got a million text messages from them. A lot of tweets and new followers on my Twitter account, random Facebook friends – it was a cool feeling to get that response from people.
JC: Along with the prize of having your design chosen, you've also won a trip to Portland to see the Fire play the Timbers in 2014, as well as a shopping spree at the adidas store out there. I hear you're getting married in June, what if the game clashes with the wedding date?
FC: I don't really know what I'd choose there! I'm taking my fiancé to Portland with me but if they're on the same weekend, that'd be a tough one. I don't know how that'd work. If it does clash, maybe I'll alternate and go to the All-Star Game instead.
