Info concerning Hudson County Community College practical nurse jobs, registering for required degree courses, and taking practice exams for free online. Whether you are considering an associates degree (CNA, LVN, or LPN), or a bachelor of science in nursing (RN), you will find many doors opening after graduation. If you study nursing, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you such as practical nurse jobs, laboratory internships, or vocational rehabilitation. Check with the nursing department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of practical nurse job requirements. Due to advances in health care, there is a growing skill-shortage of licensed practical nurses (LPN), and of qualified medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Hudson County Community College.
The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) designation is the first step in becoming a nurse. After Becoming a CNA, you will assist in caring for patients by monitoring vital statistics, bathing, feeding and maintaining personal hygiene. Most CNA programs can be completed within a few months, allowing you to begin working. As the public ages, nursing care has become a major source of employment for new technical program graduates.
The next step in a nursing career is to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN). This is a one year long program, in which you'll work under an RN, and be assigned advanced care work. Practice requirements for LPNs vary from state to state, but basic duties include passing meds, wound care, and administering feeding tubes. 1-year nursing certificate programs train students to pass the licensing test, in order to become an LPN or LVN. It is common for 90% or more of the class to find nursing jobs within 6 months. You don't have to become a registered nurse to make good money, as a licensed practical nurse with several years of work experience can earn well over $40,000 a year.

Helen and Joe Auer had a long, enduring marriage of 73 years. When she became ill and her time had come, Joe had just one request for her, one that she appears to have honored.
94-year-old Helen was fading away as she lay in a hospital bed. Joe's last words to her? "Helen, call me home." She apparently did just that, because Joe came to join her mere hours later.
Their life together was a struggle at times. After having one child and with another on the way, Helen had to say goodbye to Joe as he left to serve his country in WWII. After giving birth to their second child, Helen sent him a photo, a photo that Joe kept close to his heart before returning home three years later to reunite with his wife and kids.
They endured a lot during their years together, both good and bad. They enjoyed 10 children, 16 grandkids, 29 great-grandkids, and even a great-great-grandkid. After decades together in life, they were together again in death, and probably as happy as ever.
This photo, one of their last together, shows just how devoted they were to each other.

Jameson Thwark
Jameson Thwark prides himself on being the physically strongest resident of Teras Terrace. This may or may not be strictly true; there are a few residents who may possibly be stronger because of their sheer size, but their strength has never been directly compared to his. In any case, he's certainly the strongest Terrace inhabitant of the same order of magnitude of size as a human. Something of a fitness fanatic, Jameson spends much of his time exercising, makes sure to eat healthy, and makes a living as a personal trainer.
Aside from physical fitness, Jameson's passion is flowers, both making elaborate flower arrangements and growing his own flowers in his garden and in a greenhouse he shares with a botanist working for Pretorius Technologies. (Jameson himself, while having no formal training in botany, is knowledgeable enough about growing flowers that he's occasionally helped out the company in its studies himself.)

I was thrown to be the videographer for Jovyn's birthday and that means i didn't take any photograph to commemorate her 5th year of birth! Whatever the case, i am not going to miss the next family's birthday; that of my elder sister, Joyce.
Now that i have my own convention oven, it makes perfect sense for us to bake a birthday cake although my skill at the moment is still limited to cake mix and preferably, cupcake style. Introducing to you red velvet cupcakes with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles!
Here's the birthday girl with her two kids and our mum.
People have commented that as Jovyn grows older, she bears an uncanny resemblance to her mum. This differs from her younger days when she seemed to look more like my younger sister when she was a toddler.
Let the 4-version singing begin! Look at the direction of Jovyn's eyes when we reached almost the end of the happy birthday medley; no prize for guessing what she was going to do next!
She had to kill steal by blowing the candle before the official birthday gal could do so! Gosh, when is she going to outgrow that?! Jerald had already come to terms that only the birthday boy / girl has the privilege to blow the candle(s).
They had a good, hearty laugh though! haha
The candle was relighted so that my sister could have the time to make her wish! The brat was still eyeing the candle with enthusiasm and couldn't resist grinning!
Well, at least both brats waited for a split second before joining their mum to blow out the candle. In their haste, i can literally see their saliva spitting out onto the cupcakes!

The Kate Lamp is also available in a tall table lamp size. What is progress? Is progress the silhouette of a rocketship launching into space? Is progress building out of metal and glass instead of sticks and stones? Is progress a warm and well lit home? With the Kate lamp, progress is all of these things. Its form is inviting yet futuristic, sturdy yet light with its glass and metal construction. Its upward-thrusting form suggests a shuttle launching into the night sky. The Kate isn't just a lamp, it's a beacon of progress. Sleek, gorgeous styling of the atomic age seen in the base, coupled with the soft, luxurious organza of the shade make this 35" inch tall lamp a true statement piece.
3-way switch. Choice of base color with choice of organza shade. Polished nickel and gunmetal accents.

K. Čustović (1) M. Omerhodzic (1) K. Dizdarevic (1) N. Iblizovic (1) A. Hasanagic (1) Z. Merhemic (2)
(1) Department
of Neurosurgery, KCUS
This paper was presented on 3rd Congress of the Croatian Neurolosurgical Society with international participation, Zagreb, Croatia, 6.-8. june 2002
Ovaj rad je usmeno prezentiran na 3. Kongresu hrvatskoga Neurohirurškog društva sa međunarodnim učećem, održanom u Zagrebu, R Hrvatska, od 6. do 8. juna 2002. godine
76 with recurrent
intracranial astrocytoma grade 3 and 4 were reoperated in our clinic
during the years 1996 - 2000. The median age of the patients was 41
years. 72% patients had astrocytoma grade 3 and 28% had astrocytoma
grade 4. In 58 out of 76 cases surgically resection was grossly total,
in others was subtotaly. Preoperative neurological status was the most
significant determinant of survival after reoperation in patients with
astrocytoma gradus 3. However, in patients with astrocytoma gradus 4,
preoperative neurosurgical status was not significantly related to duration
of survival. Correlation of the radiological, operative and pathological
finding has led to a useful list of prognostic criteria for high grade
astrocytomas. In our experience, reoperation should be performed whenever
it seems to be possible and should be followed by a complete course
of radiotherapy. Radical surgery is the first step in treatment, followed
by irradiation and chemotherapy. The importance of detailed histological
diagnosis is stressed because of different biological behaviour with
regard to conventional and optimal therapy.
The role of surgery
to obtain a tissue diagnosis and to decompress mass effect in high grade
supratentorial glioma - astrocytoma in adult is a straightforward issue,
whereas oncological significance of aggressive tumor resection has been
more difficult to access.
76 patients with recurrent astrocytoma gr. III and IV were operated in neurosurgical Department from January 1996 to December 2000. Median age of the patients was 41 years. Gender rate man: women were 2,5:1. Most frequent localization was frontal and temporal lobes. The patients were presented with signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, new onset of drug resistant seizures, progression of neurological symptoms and changes in mentation
Patients operated on for recurrent astrocytoma during 1996-2000.
72% patients had
astrocytoma gr. III and 28% had astrocytoma gr. IV.
In 38 out of 76
cases surgicaly resection was grossly total, 32 cases was subtotal.
Stereotactic biopsy was performed in 6 cases in tumors located in basal
ganglia an eloquent area.
Extensity of resection is defined:
Time interval between first operation and reoperation was 2 month to 2 years. Operative mortality during 1 week was in 6 cases (8%). After reoperation our patients were followed-up a period running from 2 to 6 month and during this period completed a new course of radiotherapy.
Outcome results in patients operated on for recurrent supratentorial astrocytomas during 1996-2000.
Postoperative complications were:
Patients with malignant
gliomas had poor prognosis despite of vigorous multimodality treatment.
Advanced age is associated with a less favorable response to radiation
therapy for GBM.
Generally the reasons for extraordinarily long survival in patients with GBM may be:
When a complete
resection (as much tumor as possible) was made, longer survival and
better quality of life can be achieved. ( Ammirati; Ciric; Frankel;
Weir; Laws etc.).
Other authors suggest only biopsy for diagnosis verification to be performed. Punt J. et all.)
In our department
we performed maximum radical operation followed by radiation therapy.
That doesn't mean complete excision of the tumor. There are limiting
factors mentioned above, such as: deep brain localization, eloquent
area, and poor patient condition.
Enlarging, enchasing masses in early postoperative imaging is sign of active progression of the tumor. In differential diagnosis radiation necrosis is present.
According to our experience most important factors determining outcome and length of survival are:
These were also our selection criteria for reoperation for recurent high grade astrocytomas. In our experience reoperation should be performed whenever it seems to be possible and should be followed by a complete course of radiotherapy.

What Our Families Have to Say About Creative Tots…
"I really cannot say enough great things about Creative Tots and the value it has had for our children. We are pleased with the environment, the caring and professionalism we have experienced from Emilie and all of the teachers, and from the quality of the curriculum.
It has been great to watch my daughter, who is now 5, as she progressed through the different levels at the school. She began as an apprehensive 2 ½ year old starting in the toddler room to a child who loved going to school to see the teachers and children. I really started to see her blossom as she began learning to write, learn the alphabet sounds and letters, and so much more. She has truly developed an interest in learning.
Our son is now in his second year in the toddler room and soon to start in the early 3's. He has gone from a clingy boy to a very confident, comfortable child. He has learned so much that we have not taught him. My children are excited about school, their teachers, their friends, and best of all, about learning."
–Leila Owens
"Creative Tots has provided an extraordinary experience for our family. Our children have developed a true love of learning based on the well-balanced program and excellent teachers. Our daughter was very well prepared socially and academically when she started Kindergarten this year after attending Creative Tots for three years (Toddler, Preschool, and Pre-K programs). Our son is now in the Preschool program and enjoying the same experiences. Creative Tots has exceeded our expectations, and I continue to recommend it to others."
–Elizabeth McCallister
"Upon my first visit to Creative Tots, I loved the beautiful child friendly facility, and we chose to send our daughter to Creative Tots because of the smaller teacher-to-student ratio. The teachers really took an interest in my daughter as an individual, and an interest in our family as well. It has been such a wonderful experience!"
–Kelly Fruechtemeyer
"My daughters love every minute at Creative Tots. From the teachers, to the projects, to the field trips to the friends they've made. We couldn't be happier with their preschool experience!
Emilie and the teachers at Creative Tots really make an effort to get to know every child and their families. We feel so comfortable leaving our kids in such wonderful hands. There is definitely a strong feeling of community!"
–Stephanie Roberts
"As a parent, I want the best for my son and my daughter! And, as a 1st grade teacher, I have VERY high expectations for their academic, social, and emotional learning. The Early 3's, Pre-School, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten Enrichment programs and many of the Summer Learning Programs offered through Creative Tots have ALL met and exceeded our expectations!
Most importantly… my son AND my daughter LOVE going to Creative Tots! My children arrive at Creative Tots and leave with BIG smiles on their faces! They know that at Creative Tots each of them are valued, respected, important, cared about… and loved! Creative Tots has opened the door to learning for both of my children and welcomed them in with a smile, excitement, and a big hug!"
–Jenny Davis
"I am so happy I found Creative Tots when I was researching schools for my two preschoolers and my toddler! It has been the perfect place for my kids to grow socially, emotionally AND academically. Creative Tots is a top-notch facility, has amazing teachers and a curriculum that is second to none."
–Darcy Crociata
"My little ones really love Creative Tots. In addition to the typical day – stories, group time, structured learning time and free play time- there are also lots of fun additions not found in a typical preschool setting. These include an indoor play area for rainy days where the kids play structured games or even do yoga, a fantastic music teacher, visits from the Boonshoft Museum and the Cincinnati Zoo, special science classes and field trips to local farms or the theater.
The qualified and kind teachers, academic programs, order and cleanliness are superb. In addition to those, one of the reasons I chose Creative Tots was because of the flexibility of the scheduling.
Creative Tots well prepared my 6-year old for kindergarten. She misses her preschool teachers and always wants to visit and say, "Hi." My 4-year old had trouble adjusting to preschool, but with the help of the awesome Creative Tots staff, he now cheers when it he has a full day there: 'Yea! I get to go to school all day!' My 3-year old is already beginning to read and loves talking about his projects. We really enjoy Creative Tots!"
–Meg Chisholm
"As a former teacher, I felt it was important to begin building the foundations of learning early in my son. At 22 months old, we enrolled him in the toddler program at Creative Tots and have been amazed at his growth. His speech and vocabulary have taken off, his number and letter recognition is impressive, and the music class has encouraged his learning through movement, rhythm, and song. I am so pleased to have found a school that takes a proactive approach to my child's learning and that genuinely cares for him and his educational needs each day he walks through their doors."
–Misty Meyer

|[jira] Updated: (DERBY-2991) Index split deadlock
|Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:29:59 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2991?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Mike Matrigali updated DERBY-2991: ---------------------------------- I believe we should go forward with this change in the trunk. I also am ok with the tested performance trade off's. I don't think we should backport a change of this magnitude, I think it is appropriate for a new feature release, hopefully 10.5. I especially like that after this change the code is simpler, the scan locking stuff was complicated and it is great that it can be removed with performance sometimes increased and mostly not too affected. Once the change goes in there may be more work possible to improve performance, but I think it is fine to get the basic stuff in now. One thing that comes to mind is to change the default group fetch size from a fixed size to a page worth. That had always been a future direction and I think the interfaces are there (ie. allow store to set the size of the fetch, and passing variable size groups back to caller). This seems even more important as once the latch is given up repositioning costs may be higher than before.

Valero's Bill Greehey East and West Refinery
Valero's Corpus Christi refinery is often called the Bill Greehey refinery. Greehey was formerly the CEO of Valero Energy. Greehey is also remembered for being a philanthropist as well as a corporate leader. Given that the Greehey refinery is large in size, there is a great risk that parts of property fail to follow adequate safety rules and compliance to ensure that the property is safely maintained. When accidents do occur on the Valero property, there are a number of ways in which accidents can occur.
The History of the Bill Greehey East and West Refinery
The Bill Greehey refinery is actually two complexes in Corpus Christi, Texas consisting of two plants. Valero first commissioned the section of the West Corpus Christi refinery plant in 1983. Many individuals who are particularly familiar with refinery centers view the Bill Greehey refinery as one of the most complex refineries in the United States. The west plant also offers 4,700 feet of ship channel frontage, which allows for easy loading and unloading onto ships. In 2001, Valero acquired a 115,000 barrel capacity refinery which is now referred to as the east plant of the Bill Greehey refinery. The east plant is located less than a mile from the west plant of the Bill Greehey refinery. Currently, the Bill Greehey refinery is capable of producing a maximum capacity of 325,000 crude oil barrels per day and employs approximately 760 employees.
Fires at Valero's Bill Greehey East and West Refinery
An accident occurred at Valero's Bill Greehey refinery recently which resulted in a substantial fire which fortunately did not harm any of the refinery workers. Sometimes, significant plant explosions or catastrophic events start out as small fires or even small flames. Because refineries often handle a large amount of flammable materials, even a small flame like the one in this accident can pose such significant harm that a large fire or even explosions can occur. In many situation, refinery owners are liable for fires and explosions due to one of a variety of negligent acts including lack of maintenance, inadequate equipment, lack of proper training for workers, or improperly posted signs.
Employee Falls at Valero's Bill Greehey East and West Refinery
In January of 2016, a Valero refinery employee fell into a puddle and was burned by a set of steam pipes. The burn was bad enough to be classified as second degree burns. The employee was subsequently taken to a nearby medical facility for treatment. Fortunately, the burns were non-life threatening in nature and the man eventually recovered from these injuries. Faulty steam pipes are just one of the most common ways that employees can get burnt, some of the other common causes of burns include unmarked vents for steam and malfunctioning machinery.
Contact A Skilled Corpus Christi Accident Attorney
If you are injured in an accident that occurs at Valero's Bill Greehey Refinery, it is an extremely wise idea to retain the services of an experienced attorney who knows how to create a strong legal claim in order for a refinery accident victim to receive compensation from a liable party including a refinery owner.

until next year spring break.
a not so welcome hello to 9am class.
I enjoyed sleeping in on the mornings munchkin 1
& munchkin 2 felt like sleeping in.
I enjoyed having time to make a delicious breakfast
instead of a quick pantry grab to the granola bars.
Today was my last day of spring break and it motivated me
to take advantage and get the rest of my spring cleaning done.
A clean house= a happy mommy.
I am excited about getting back to some of my classes.
I am looking forward to learning more about Japanese
I am looking forward to learning more about Japanese
culture in survey of non western art.
I still have this eerie feeling.
Before spring break, I was far into studying not just the history
of Japan, but the beginning of their art culture.
And in my earth science class, we just started learning about
earth quakes and tsunami's.
My third day into Spring break, I turn on the television- 7am to
see what I learned in earth science destroying what I learned
about in art history- right in front my of eyes.
It will definitely be odd walking into class learning further about both.
I may get emotional, like I do here at home watching CNN.
It's absolutely horrifying.
I remember thinking to myself
"All of those beautifully built pagoda's and meditation houses,
all of the beautiful statues of Buddha and dragon protectors
will be ruined- and the hands that built them, swept away"
will be ruined- and the hands that built them, swept away"
"What a waste mother earth"
Anyway. I just find what's happening there to be
so unfortunate and heart breaking.
so unfortunate and heart breaking.
And it continues to go on.
I pack my books, grab my pencil and get a good night's sleep.
class is calling.

We're often asked, "Do I really need a medical billing business plan to be successful?" by folks looking to start a medical billing business at home.
Of course any entrepreneur looking to start a business should have a well thought out business plan. But after a little digging, the real question usually ends up being, "Do I need a formal business plan or will a few goals and ideas written on the back of a napkin do?"
When deciding how complex your medical billing business plan needs to be, we certainly hope that you decide go into a little more detail than the napkin route is going to afford you.
At the same time, were are not completely sold on the idea that everybody needs to have a 300 page "formal" business plan.
A good candidate for a very formal medical billing plan would be someone looking to start their business with a partner and/or if a bank loan will be needed (more about our thoughts concerning the need for a bank loan in a minute).
So what should your medical billing business plan include? For a basic plan, it includes the following seven elements:
Medical Billing Software is one of the most important aspects of starting your own business.
As a service to our visitors, Everything Medical Billing has arranged with nationally recognized BuyerZone to provide free price quotes from quality Medical Billing Software Companies with no obligation.
Here's how it works:
Opening your own business can be a daunting task, but with careful planning and analysis, you will have solid footing to give yourself the best start possible.
Another possibility would be to start a different
home based business that requires little start up capital and might provide
the extra cash flow needed to open your billing business.
You can get more information about Alternative Work at Home Ideas at the bottom of that page; who knows, your true passion may have nothing to do with medical billing.

Long Story Short
A Brazilian former model has spent over $100,000 on plastic surgeries in hopes of becoming a human barbie. The reason she's doing this is because she used to date a male model people called Ken, but he died, so she's doing the surgeries in his honor.
Long Story
Jennifer Pamplona is known in Brazil as 'Susi Doll,' but if you ask her, she's not quite dollish enough. The 24-year-old former Versace model can't get enough of plastic surgery.
"Some girls love shopping, buying stuff like bags and shoes, but me I love to go to the doctors for a surgery or procedure, it makes everything perfect," she told (who else?) The Daily Mail.
Pamplona has spent over US$100,000 on nine surgeries -- nine of which took place within the span of 24 hours. She's had liposuction, two breast implants, a rhinoplasty, fat injections into her bottom and thighs, cheek fillers, lip fillers, and veneers. She's also had four ribs removed to make her waist smaller. Ouch.
"I looked so different after my surgeries when my mother and grandmother saw me they didn't recognise me - it was really shocking for them but to me, I was perfect," she said. "So many people in the world need to feel great and confident about themselves through surgery, I realizsd my dreams this way and don't see why people view surgery in a bad way."
The reason she's done all the surgeries is actually pretty interesting. She used to date another model named Celso Santebanes, who was known as human Ken. Santebanes always wanted Pamplona to look like a doll, so when he died of cancer in 2015, she decided to honour him with the surgeries.
She said she "chose to continue his dreams of turning me into a curvy Barbie doll."
"I found that plastic surgery took me out of depression, whenever I had something done I became so happy and everything became perfect."
I guess when people are depressed, people get attracted to their vice -- whether it's drugs, booze or implants.
Speaking of implants, Pamplona hopes to get a butt the size of Kim Kardashian's.
Soon, Pamplona will showcase her plastic body (and perhaps new bum) on a Big Brother-style reality show called The Plastics of Hollywood.
Own The Conversation
Ask The Big Question
Is plastic surgery addiction to this extent really that different from an addiction to drugs or alcohol?
Drop This Fact
Pamplona is far from the only human Barbie and hasn't even spent that much money comparatively. This Scottish mum has spent US$245,000 on surgeries.

Maria Briggs, Fresno State's newest opera professor, is a transplant from Australia who was born in Russia, so she knows how to adapt. Consider her setting for the new fully staged Fresno State Opera Theatre production of "Die Fledermaus." Briggs didn't have the staff to build her own costumes, and with only a tiny stage with which to work, the voluminous dresses of a traditional late 19th century time period for the famous comic operetta by Strauss would be unwieldy.
So, with thanks to the Fresno State theater department's costume shop, she opted for a Roaring Twenties setting. (The department is staging "Heathers the Musical," set in the late 1980s, so there was no conflict there.)
The result is a frothy "Fledermaus" that Briggs describes as "The Great Gatsby" meets "High Society."
We caught up with Briggs in phone and email interviews to learn more about her and the show.
Q: "Die Fledermaus" has one of those elaborate comic plots that only really makes sense when you see it unfold on stage. What do you need to know as a viewer going in?
A: The main thing to remember is that this is a very lighthearted, frivolous piece. So come prepared to laugh out loud and to enjoy the beautiful music. We take you to the high society of 1920s. All the characters here are somewhat unhappy with their present situation: a rich couple bored with each other, a tenor without an audience, a Russian prince so wealthy that his biggest worry is to throw a party that rivals his previous one, a maid who dreams of being an actress, a prison director who wants to be a talent manager and a notary who plays a big practical joke on all of them.
After a series of blunders and misadventures love and Champagne triumph, leaving us with Strauss' exhilarating "Champagne Chorus." You must also prepare yourself to walk out humming the tunes as it is the happiest and most contagious musical score that may haunt you for weeks to come!
Q: What can you tell us about your Eisenstein and Rosalinde? As stage director, how are you trying to shape your singers' performances in these roles?
A: They are the main romantic relationship in the show. We meet them at a point where they've been married to each other for a little while. They have it all: money, connections, privilege, but lack of passion and excitement draws them apart. I tell my Rosalinde (Ashley Trembley) that her character is scared to death of becoming another boring, rich housewife, she searches for an adventure and finds it in her ex-lover – Alfred. However, her next biggest fear is causing a scandal and not keeping up with the desired appearances.
Her husband, Gabriel Eisenstein (Lim Forgey), on the other hand, loves causing a scandal. At the outset of the opera he is caught dueling and is sentenced to a prison term of five days. At the bottom of it they are both very selfish, superficial people who get taught a lesson and by the end of the opera learn to value each other. As a director I try to help these two principals to take this journey of growth and show how their characters stumble and develop along the way, with many jokes and gags thrown in of course!
Q: You were 14 when you moved from Russia to Australia. Is Russian your first language? What are your memories of living in the Soviet Union?
A: Yes, Russian is my first language. I think like any immigrant I have conflicting memories. Nobody likes leaving their country if they can help it. On the one hand I've received great academic and musical training. As a Moscovite and a frequent traveler to St. Petersburg I was able to attend some of the best concerts, plays, operas and exhibitions in the world. I was also raised an Orthodox Christian and had a chance visit some of the holiest, beautiful churches and monasteries.
Unfortunately, none of that was quite enough to persuade my parents to stick around in Moscow in the early '90s with five children. I also remember complete lack of stability, empty shelves in the shops, long queues and perpetual, dismal rudeness that killed one's dignity. A gray blanket of pessimism was in the air and being incurable optimists my parents didn't fit in. In 1993 my family immigrated to our new home: Sydney, Australia. I realize that Russia is a very hot topic right now, but I am happy to say that at least for people I know, life there has improved a lot since then. You certainly won't find the empty shop shelves anymore.
Q: Give us three words to describe yourself.
A: Mum, wife, musician. The first two are extremely important to me, they also inspire me to succeed in the third. I am a very lucky mum of a little boy turning 2 later this month and a lucky wife of a beautiful, supportive husband who quit his job and left Australia to let me follow my dreams. Now here in Fresno I use music to teach and collaborate with talented students and colleagues. I also have more opportunity to spend quality time with my boys.
Q: What was the biggest/strangest/weirdest transition you had to make when you moved to the U.S.?
A: To be honest it's not too different from Australia, particularly California. Climate and lifestyle are quite similar here. Also my husband and I like to research and plan everything ahead, so I would say "surprises" were minimal. There are little things like occasional words my students don't understand or pronounce very differently; filing separate state and federal taxes; witnessing the real American Halloween and taking our child to "Pumpkin King" – not something we have in Australia, getting our mail delivered on a Saturday and being able to deposit checks with a smartphone… We often discuss it and agree that overall, for us the changes are very positive.
The weirdest thing I can think of is being able to buy alcohol at a pharmacy … I guess if you ever overdo it you are in the right place to get help!
Q: You've been at Fresno State since last July. How are you and your colleague Anthony Radford dividing up the duties on "Die Fledermaus"?
A: Dr. Radford and I have been working extremely well together. We largely share similar views on performance and education, we've also been pretty good at dividing the duties to suit each other's strengths and interests. When it came to planning the production we've made the decision to have one person directing and one person producing: this made it clearer for the students and ourselves.
Q: Talk about what it's like to have a full orchestra for your production.
A: This production is a collaboration with Fresno State Symphony Orchestra, with Dr. Thomas Loewenheim conducting. There is nothing like hearing the force of a full symphony orchestra: the vibrancy, colours and emotional scope are truly thrilling. Over the years Dr. Loewenheim has worked tirelessly to build what we have today – a beautiful orchestra of over 60 players that successfully tackles very challenging repertoire. Last fall I had the privilege of performing with them "Four Last Songs" by Richard Strauss. Anyone who knows this work can appreciate what orchestral mastery is required to pull that off!
On a practical side, it also gives a rare opportunity for our student singers to be able to sing with full orchestra: learn to follow the conductor and learn how the orchestra works and supports their voices. The student orchestral players on the other hand get to experience playing in an opera and accompanying the action on the stage.
Q: Fresno recently suffered the loss of its professional opera company. How do you think Fresno State's opera program can help fill the void?
A: This is truly unfortunate and a great loss to our students as well. Many of them sang in the Grand Opera chorus, receiving their first glimpse of a professional company environment. I think the best we can do is produce as good a show as we can for the local audiences. However, our foremost goal is providing training for the students, which differs from goals of a professional opera company.
We are not Fresno Grand, nor do we try to be. We address the "void" in our own, unique way. Dr. Radford has been very active in commissioning new works and engaging local audiences. With his most recent project – a children's opera titled "Lucinda" – he took it to schools around the county, reaching thousands of children and their parents. We are hoping to keep producing large-scale operas, but also develop more outreach projects like "Lucinda" where opera visits your local library or school.
Q: Anything to add?
A: I would add that people don't realise how rare it is for an undergraduate program to be able to offer a full scale opera production to their voice students. Only two of our cast are graduate students – the rest are young undergraduates. If they attended any other program in the country they would be lucky to get into the chorus. But here at Fresno, they can all audition for a principal role, and this show has 11 principal characters – so that's a lot of performance opportunities these kids wouldn't get anywhere else.
Another thing is I am very excited that we've managed to secure two beautiful guest ballroom dancers that are a part of this production. I don't want to give too much away, but there will be a rather spectacular dance scene in Act Two!

Army Corps of Engineers tour lake shore flooding and damage
Hamlin, N.Y. - The Army Corps of Engineers toured Lake Ontario's shore Friday, taking assessments of the damage and flooding.
The group was mostly looking at infrastructure, roads and sewers. However, they were also taking note of what the property owners are dealing with.
Touring five counties along the lake shore, 13WHAM caught up with them during their first stop in Monroe County, the Town of Hamlin.
Accompanied by Steven Baase, the Town of Hamlin Highway Superintendent, they stopped on Newco Drive, where a power pole is sitting on an island after water washed away the bank around it.
"If you get significant wave action, that pole could possible topple," said Robert Remmers, Chief of Operations and Technical Support for the Buffalo District Corps of Engineers.
According to Baase, that could knock out power to 50 to 60 people.
Baase tells 13WHAM that pole belongs to National Grid, and the company has been notified.
National Grid said they are aware of the pole and said it is safe for the moment.
"No action is required immediately, but we are planning a move if it's determined this will reach the 'unsafe' point," National Grid Strategic Communications Manager Steve Brady said. "If a major storm were to be forecast, we'd check it more often. As mentioned, work is underway to move it, but the condition is such that it doesn't have to be done immediately."
Brady added that the water isn't the most pressing concern; it is erosion. Poles are set deeper than tree roots, so it would take quite a lot for them to be uprooted.
Baase continued the tour, taking the group to flooded streets, like Sandy Harbor Road. He hopes showing flooded roadways and homes to the Army Corps of Engineers will help bring funding will bring help to the town.
"Hopefully FEMA or somebody, the state will kick in and help us with our labor costs, the sand and everything. It's stretching our budgets," said Baase, who knows the work is only going to increase when the water recedes.
Remmers says it's important to see the damage and flooding in person. "It's very important. If you try to talk to somebody on the phone about what the conditions are, it's not the same as being out in the field and talking to the town, the local people, the local governments. Because they know firsthand what the issues are. They can take us right to the sight, we can take photographs report to our office and we can get a clearer picture up to the state what's going on."
Baase also took the team to Sandy Shore Drive, where septic tanks are flooded, forcing homeowners to use bathrooms outside of their homes.
"That is a main concern," said Baase, "and a main concern why people are moving out of their houses, because of leach fields and backed up sewers."
"We're not going to solve all the problems along the lake - that's just too much for the state and corps to handle. But they're doing their best to cover the worse areas as best as they can," said Remmers.
After the tour, the corps was able to help the town figure out where they could put sandbags to help with roadway flooding.

The essence of exercise referral is to use exercise and physical activity interventions to manage chronic illnesses and conditions like obesity, arthritis, diabetes and heart disease. Sufferers can often alleviate their symptoms and achieve an overall improved quality of life. Our Level 3 Exercise Referral Diploma is built around achieving this goal. The course is expertly designed to help exercise professionals better serve existing clients, branch out to new people, and work with organisations, like the NHS, who refer clients.
Our course is certified by YMCA Awards (formerly CYQ) and awards 20 points with the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs). As well as providing a chance to enhance your CV, it's also a fantastic opportunity for continuing professional development (CPD). If you have your sights set on becoming a Level 4 Exercise Specialist, this qualification is a mandatory prerequisite.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation frequently claim that we are in the midst of an ongoing 'health epidemic', with chronic diseases becoming more and more prevalent. With this is mind, the demand for properly-trained exercise professionals couldn't be higher. We firmly believe that with this qualification, you'll soon be leading the charge and making a real difference in peoples' lives.
Level 3 Exercise Referral also forms part of the Level 3 Special Populations Diploma; we strongly recommended this path if it's an area of the industry you're particularly passionate about.
The three main elements that make up this qualification are: Level 3 Exercise Referral, Level 3 Anatomy and Physiology, and Level 3 Nutrition for Physical Activity. Personal trainers often use this as a popular progression route when broadening their skill set. If you're already a qualified PT then you won't have to take the 3 Anatomy and Physiology and Level 3 Nutrition elements of this course again.
Specifically related to exercise referral are the following elements, though this is far from an exhaustive list:
The public health epidemic and an introduction to exercise referral
Professional practice:
Gathering information from referred clients:
Communicating and supporting referred clients
Assessing referral clients
Planning, teaching and monitoring exercise
The course also provides a basic pathology for a range of chronic conditions, including:
Before you attend the practical training weekend, you'll complete three worksheets related to the planning and teaching aspects of exercise referral.
There are also two invigilated worksheets that require, these are: medical conditioning and an activity guidelines table – these must be taken separately to the two-day practical weekend, and your support tutor will be able to help arrange a suitable date at one of our venues.
On the training weekend itself you'll observe a patient consultation, create a session plan, and then teach exercise to a referred client.
Finally, there's a case study where you will create a 4 week session plan for a client with a specific medication condition.
Ideally, you'll hold a recognised Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training. This will allow you to focus on the medical and exercise referral elements of the course, as the non-specific material will have already been completed.
If you haven't achieved your Level 3 Personal Training qualification, but do hold a recognised Level 2 or Level 3 fitness qualification, you can still enrol, but must add on the following modules if you haven't completed these already: Level 3 Anatomy and Physiology (£150) and Level 3 Nutrition for Physical Activity Awards (£247.50).
Our careers team will be able to answer any further questions you have. Similarly, if you're missing a qualification, we'll be able to help you get what you need. Nothing should stand in the way of your dream job.
This qualification is worth 20 points with REPs, the maximum for a single qualification. It also carries a credit value of 30 within the Qualifications Credit Framework (QCF). Upon completion, you'll be able to enrol on a Level 4 Exercise Specialist qualification. At present, we offer: Level 4 Obesity and Diabetes Certificate and Level 4 Low Back Pain Certificate.
The Level 3 Nutrition for Physical Activity also awards an additional 20 REPs points if you haven't already achieved it.
Total Payable £450 / Minimum Deposit £125

I started trying, but it turns out I need two things since the firmware on mine is currently 3.90: a Pandora Battery and a "magic memory stick." Now, is the pandora battery a one-time use thing? Once I get it to work, will I have any use for it in the future? Do I need to keep it locked away for backup purposes or should I find someone to pawn it off on? And second question, about this "magic memory stick." I have a Memory Stick Pro Duo already (thank my parents for getting me a Sony camera a few years ago). Can I just format it to get rid of the information and use it for this Pandora thing, then reformat it again and be useable? Or should I get a new memory card just big enough to start unlocking this large-screened device for it will then be ruined? Sorry if I know this is noob related, I just can't find this kind of topic elsewhere. If you know of one, just redirect me and thread = deleted. Or at least closed.

Reactions of photosythesis
A photosynthetic reaction centre is a complex of several proteins, pigments and other co-factors that together execute the primary energy conversion reactions of. Biology4kidscom this tutorial introduces photosynthesis other sections include animal systems, cells, vertebrates, and invertebrates. Phosphorylation demonstrated that photosynthesis in-cludes a light-induced phosphorus metabolism that zymic reactions require an input of energy-rich chemical. What is photosynthesis describe the reactions that occur in calvin cycle what enzyme is responsible for capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Photosynthesis: photosynthesis, process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.
Key takeaways key points the amount of energy of a wave can be determined by measuring its wavelength, the distance between consecutive points of a wave. 8-3 the reactions of photosynthesis reactions photosynthesis begins when pigments in photosystem ii absorb light, increasing their energy level slide. Learn about how light energy is converted to chemical energy during the two main stages of photosynthesis: light-dependent reactions and the calvin cycle.
The equation for photosynthesis what is the equation of photosynthesis which are the light-dependent reaction and the light-independent reaction. Reading: ch 7 review: overview of photosynthesis light reactions: calvin cycle (115-128) photorespiration: c3, c4 and cam pathways (127-138) grass leaves. The chemical reaction for the completion of photosynthesis is 6co2 + h20 + light energy -- c6h12o6 + 6o2 the reaction utilizes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. How the products of the light reactions, atp and nadph, are used to fix carbon into sugars in the second stage of photosynthesis. Chemical formula for photosynthesis using light energy from the sun convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose sugar and oxygen gas through a series of reactions.
Although the chemical equation appears straight forward the process actually involves several steps occurring in two major groups of reactions. Photosynthesis table of contents what is photosynthesis | leaves and leaf structure energy may trigger a chemical reaction, as in photosynthesis. As light intensity increases, the rate of the light-dependent reaction, and therefore photosynthesis generally, increases proportionately as. Find out what the products of photosynthesis are and view the overall chemical reaction and equation. Photosynthesis has two main sets of reactions light-dependent reactions need light to work and light-independent reactions, which do not need light to work.
Carbon fixation is an endothermic redox reaction, so photosynthesis supplies the energy that drives both process in general outline. Figure 104 an overview of photosythesis: cooperation of the light reactions and the calvin cycle. Photosynthesis is the process used by plants the reactions of plant photosynthesis are divided into those that require the presence of sunlight and those that do. Light and dark reactions in photosynthesis written by tutor kathie z photosynthesis is the process by which green plants absorb light energy from the sun with the.

On behalf of Cobert, Haber & Haber Attorneys at Law posted in Divorce on Thursday, January 5, 2017.
Divorce is a hot commodity for couples in New York who are bringing in the new year together. Instead of making resolutions about going to the gym, many of them are trying to speed up the divorce process in hopes of starting the year off single. According to YourTango.com, the second week of January is when the number of divorce filings is at its highest for the year. Many people start their search before the holidays but do not take legal action until after the new year rolls around.
Divorces are hard on families, especially when children are involved. Many people want to enjoy the holidays with their families and avoid much of the negativity and drama that may ensue if they announce their plans before they are over.
There are other reasons why some couples wait until January to split, states Reuters.com. They have more time to plan their exit strategies. Many people are finalizing their expenses and taking inventory of their lifestyles. They need to determine how much money they will need to manage their own households and associated expenses since they will no longer have their soon-to-be ex-spouses income to rely on.
Another reason is the holiday season tends to bring out the emotional side of people. With friends and family coming over and holiday shopping to be done, people are focused on making the most of their situation by keeping things on a positive note. Many people do not feel divorce announcements during the holidays are appropriate. They do not want to look like the bad guy, nor do they want to be responsible for ruining the festivities.
There are many reasons why couples file for divorce during the first month of the year than any other time. Regardless of what they are, former spouses should plan their situation accordingly to minimize the negative effects of the situation.

A Somali businessman says a ship hijacked by pirates off East Africa two weeks ago has been released.
Ali Dheere, the chairman of a group of traders in Mogadishu, says the al-Mizan has arrived in Somalia's capital.
The Panama-flagged, United Arab Emirates-owned cargo ship was carrying electronics, food and other goods. The 18-member crew were all in good condition.
Dheere refused to say whether a ransom had been paid, but a self-proclaimed pirate named Abdi Nor tells The Associated Press that pirates did not demand a ransom since the ship was bound for Mogadishu and carried goods owned by Somalis.
The pirates asked for and received $15,000 for "expenses."

WASHINGTON, Thu, Jun 9 2011 (Reuters) - For decades, variable annuities have had a bad rap, dissed as fee-laden, overly expensive and "not bought but sold" to unsophisticated investors by commission-hungry brokers.
That was enough to turn off fee-only advisers who under a fiduciary standard of care must find the lowest-cost, best financial products for their clients.
But now, as more advisers are moving to fee-only, fiduciary practices, insurance companies such as Allianz Life Financial Services, AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, Lincoln National Life Insurance Co., Prudential's Prudential Annuities and Sun Life Financial are creating new products to attract them.
They're responding to a post-crash emphasis on retirement security that has made more investors willing to pay for guarantees. Variable annuities also offer a way to defer taxes, a big appeal to the affluent clients that tend to use fee-only advisers.
A variable annuity is essentially an insurance policy wrapped around a mutual fund portfolio. Money earned within the annuity is tax-deferred. Annuities also have death benefits that can be converted into a lifetime-guaranteed retirement income stream.
Traditionally, all those bells and whistles carried a stiff price tag — 3% or more of the amount invested in the annuity. Additionally, heavy surrender charges could shave 1% to 7% off investors' balances if an annuity was sold within seven years of purchase.
"Isn't it interesting that not once in my career of 27 years, have I recommended a variable annuity to a client?" says Bethesda, Md., adviser Mary Malgoire, a pioneer of the fee-only advisory industry.
But John Ritter, a board member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, the primary professional association of fee-only advisers, says no-load annuity companies are beginning to show up at conventions of planners who blanch at the word commissions.
"At our last convention, there was a lot more interest in variable annuities, and a lot more willingness and openness to exploring them," he said.
To be sure, "no-load" annuities are a drop in the bucket of the overall variable annuity market. In the first quarter of 2011, they attracted $986.7 million, or 2.6% of the $38.7 billion in total variable annuity sales, according to Morningstar.
"These products have not performed to the level that maybe would have been expected," says Marco Chmura, manager of Morningstar's variable annuity data operations.
No-load variable annuities sales, however, have momentum. They are on track this year to grow 22% over 2010, which would come close to the record sales figure of 2007.
Long gestation
"We've been thinking about this space for a number of years, but it took us around 15 to 18 months of development," said
Robert DeChellis, president of Allianz Life Financial Services. "We didn't just take our existing chassis and strip it down."
Allianz is one of several insurance companies that are offering commission-free annuities through LPL Financial, a broker dealer that offers trading services and other support to independent brokers and financial advisers.
LPL launched its variable annuity platform in February in response to an increased demand from financial advisers and their clients, said John Moninger, LPL's executive vice president of advisory and brokerage solutions.
It's too early to declare the program a success but initial results are promising, he said. At least half of the sales on the commission-free platform are being made by advisers who never previously sold a variable annuity. What's more, the average amount being invested is about twice that of the industry's average variable annuity sale, according to Moninger.
Some traditional no-load investment companies, including Fidelity Investments and Vanguard Investments, have been offering variable annuities directly to investors and fee-only advisers. Jefferson National Life Insurance Company, for its part, introduced a fee-only variable annuity in 2006 and is projecting record 2011 sales of $250 million, about one-fourth of total sales since introduction.
High fees
No-commission annuities are not necessarily cheaper than those carrying commissions because mutual funds stuffed inside the annuity can have higher-than-average management fees. The insurance protections also can cost as much as 1.4% of the annuity contract, says Laurence Greenberg, president of Jefferson National.
Even if an investor in a high tax bracket could save through the deferral feature, the savings that Greenberg estimates of 0.85% wouldn't compensate for the 1.4% cost, he says.
Jefferson substitutes a flat $20 a month fee in place of a percentage of mortality and expense charges, making the annual contract charge around 0.12% for a typical $200,000 contract.
The complex of fees is why many fee-only advisers recommend variable annuities irregularly and with care. Ritter, for example, isolates them for clients who want to trade out of a more expensive annuity without incurring tax bills or for those who have exhausted many of the other tax-advantaged methods of saving and investing.
Some savvy investors are beginning to shift highly taxed investments, including real estate and corporate bonds, into a tax-deferred annuity while leaving stocks in taxable accounts that can produce offsetting losses or lower-rate capital gains, suggests Bing Waldert, an analyst at consulting firm Cerulli Associates.
Robert Fergasso, a Pittsburgh adviser who works primarily on a fee basis, says he would like to see a completely separate no-load annuity wrapper so clients could have insurance coverage and leave the underlying portfolio completely open for him to manage. He concedes that it could take some time to convince the annuity-selling insurance industry that such a plan would be good for them.
There's one more change annuities manufacturers might consider.
"When you describe the annuity's purpose to advisers, they all want it," says Moninger. "But when you actually say the word 'annuity' they immediately retreat."
Perhaps the new, improved variable annuities are ripe for a new, improved, name.

Working Together : Great People, Great Teams
Date(s) - 12/09/2016
10:00 am - 3:30 pm
Museum of East Anglian Life
Trainer – Shirley Collier (coach, mentor, museum consultant) with speakers from the Museum of East Anglian Life.
The training is for museum staff, volunteers, trustees and managers who work as part of a team, whatever your role or specialism.
The museum workforce of today is really diverse – staff and volunteers, young and old – and highly skilled. Making the most of everyone's skills and helping people to feel motivated and valued is what builds great teams. Come along to this workshop to learn how to really help your team pull together. Come with a colleague if you can, if not, be part of a new team for the day!
The team at the Museum of East Anglian Life recently had some coaching with Shirley Collier, through SHARED Enterprise, to help develop their teamwork and fundraising skills. At the workshop they will be sharing what they learned through this valuable opportunity. Here's what Kate Axon, Development Director at the Museum of East Anglian Life, has to say about it;
"Well worth attending – brilliant, fun and illuminating"
"It was like a light switching on – my personality and behaviour at work can have a real impact on what we achieve. It was great to be aware of how a team thinks and to get some strategies on how to use this to an advantage."
In order to tailor the workshop content to your needs, please complete a short online survey at http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/FT4WY/ Staff, volunteers and trustees from any museums in the East of England may complete the survey, even if they are not attending the course. The results and interpretation of this data will be available online in the form of resources produced as part of the course materials.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Booking for this event will go live from 1st September.
Bookings are closed for this event.

Found via @owltastic
Possibly the loveliest use of web fonts I've seen to day. This design is incredible. http://t.co/hL1iybK
This is a wicked interesting one pager. It pushes the limits of typography, layout, color, contrast, shape and more. It's visually everything AND the kitchen sink but in a totally good way! I find it to be super engaging on its own, but once you dive into their work section you really see where their talents lie. Overall the site has a sort of print feel to it. It marries solid design principles with progressive web technology and delivers what I think is a unique and well done experience.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Cobalt International Energy
So what: Cobalt's shares have rocketed recently on positive results at its Cameia-1 Angola well, so it's no surprise that management is pouncing on the stock's run-up to raise some capital. Given the significant size of the offering, however, investors have good reason to be concerned about its likely dilutive effects.
Now what: I'd continue to remain on the sidelines. Even with today's double-digit pullback, Cobalt's high-beta shares are still up more than 200% over just the past three months. While Cobalt's prospects in Angola are certainly tantalizing, the stock's still-speculative nature makes it an easy pass for conservative investors.

Happy Monday! And by happy, I mean Drained. Or Flying Low to the Ground. I've been getting a steady stream of "Well YOU must be happy" observations from coworkers. When my office mate trotted it out, I responded half-consciously, "Yeah. Exhausted though."
"You're exhausted from…the Yankees winning?"
"Oh. Ok."
Takes a lot out of you. Between that and NFL Sunday, I'm running out of reasons to ever leave my couch. My mom would be so proud.
Now we got a week and a half until
my last connection to reality and sane thought dissipates the ALDS starts. Here's a weekend roundup to open this week of brutal anticipation and pseudo-relaxation…
NEW YORK – One team is going all out to win every day.
The other team is the Red Sox – asking you to stand back and look at the big picture.
The Yankees are going wall to wall to clinch the division (magic number 1) and the best record in the American League, ASAP. The Red Sox, meanwhile, are using these final days to get some rest and tune up for the playoffs.
While the Yankees celebrated, the Red Sox shrugged. Players in every corner of the visiting clubhouse uniformly shared a three-point mantra: The Yankees won. Good for them. Wait for the playoffs.
Hey, whatever helps you sleep at night, Boston. You clinched that playoff spot yet?
Text received at 9/25, 10:35pm:
"This Leiter mania playoff discussion is highly entertaining."
Text received also at 9/25, 10:35pm:
"Kay and Leiter's discussion of a re-vamped playoff makes me want to rip my ears off so I don't have to hear them anymore."
Why did we even create the WC in the first place? I think the ideal scenario would be to work it like a fantasy league playoff: best record in the league gets a bye week while the other 2 division champs play. The current system basically hands over a gift to the not-as-great team every year. They get admission into the playoffs based on their proximity to greatness. Where is their handicap? There is no downside to the WC, and it's like the Yankees are the people who aced the exam, and the Red Sox are the slackers who are benefiting from the curve.
I'm gonna go on record now by saying that I absolutely refuse to take a stance in any way on the question of "Who would you rather play…?" I don't care who the Yankees play. They're all good. They're all tough teams. Even the Nats. If we play them, I'll be just as scared (more so, actually, since the Nats and the Marlins are the only 2 teams the Yankees haven't won a series against this year.) Good thing we dodged that bullet.
The Angels may as well have a human windmill as their 3rd base coach, because between Varitek and Victor Martinez, opposing runners have enough time to catch up on correspondence and get a routine teeth cleaning before the throw reaches the base.
With a paltry 2-game deficit in the division, Minnesota has an opportunity to pounce. Do I think they will? No.
But for the next 4 days, the two will be playing each other. All the Tigers have to do is split, really. The Twinkies gotta get a sweep if they want to keep their playoff dreams alive. I don't see that happening. If for no other reason, I think the thought of facing the Yankees in the ALDS is straight up nauseating to Minnesota.
LA was just as good if not better last year. They've had plenty of chances, and they just don't have the heart. And by heart, I mean pitching. Think about Kuroda, Billingsley, or Garland facing the stacked lineup from the Phillies or the Cardinals. No chance lance.
Sis: "I heard it from the KGB."
Me: [blinked]
Sis: "Not the Russian police."
Can this be true? Now I'm putting the KGB in the same bucket as ESPN/Fox announcers and Snapple bottle tops as factions who used their fact-checking budget on an office foosball table.
Consequently, I am
irrationally convinced that since the Yankees have not lost since I laced them on, the P.F. Flyers are magical. So the big question consuming my thoughts this Monday is: Do I rest them until the playoffs? Or continue wearing them at the risk of tampering with the fates?
Once I sort through all this, I can start thinking about the Kansas City series that starts tonight.
*I was irrationally excited when later that night, after the Yanks beat the Angels to clinch the division, Sportscenter commentary included, "…and Brett Gardner races home, and it looks like he's wearing his P.F. Flyers tonight!"
† I think I finally found someone to dress as Sidney Deane to my Billy Hoyle, which would make him MVP of the weekend. I have a strong suspicion, however, that this is something that will be filed into the "Things I Unwittingly Okayed Over the Weekend" arena. Blame the playoffs. New Yorkers are high on life right now.
