I've never been a member of or tried using a dating site, but a lot of couples have been successful by using these outlets to get to know each other. To me, appearance and personality are the two things that tell a lot about a person, and people need to try extra hard to portray themselves online when the keyboard may be the only form of communication.
Check out some of these ridiculous dating site photos and revelations that will leaving you wondering what exactly the user was thinking when they posted them.

Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a treatment for chronic, stable chest pain ( angina ). Angina happens when there is not enough blood and oxygen being pumped to the heart to support the work it is doing.
Cuffs (similar to blood pressure cuffs) are placed on the legs. These cuffs inflate (fill with air) and deflate in rhythm with the heart to push blood back toward the heart. EECP increases the amount of blood reaching the heart so the heart does not have to work so hard. This helps improve circulation.
Reasons for Procedure
You may have EECP to treat angina if:
- Your medicines are not working well enough
- You are not a good candidate for surgery
- Your doctor wants you to try nonmedical alternative before considering surgery
- You have had surgery but are still having chest pain
You may have EECP to treat heart failure if:
- Your heart function, known as ejection fraction (EF), is less than 35% and you are not having active symptoms of shortness of breath—Talk to your doctor about your EF.
- You are still having symptoms after being given all appropriate medicines for your heart
The benefits of EECP may include:
- Decreased need for angina medicines
- Decrease in symptoms of angina
- Ability to do activities (eg, exercise) without angina
- Improved heart function if a lack of oxygenated blood flow is a problem
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have EECP, your doctor will review a list of possible complications.
The most common complication is skin irritation due to the inflatable cuffs. You may have:
- Chafing
- Bruising or blisters
- Bleeding if your blood is too thin
- Leg or waist pain
- Worsening of heart failure in people who have certain heart rhythm abnormalities
You should not have EECP if you are pregnant or have any of these conditions:
- Severe heart failure
- Certain heart valve problems (e.g. significant aortic insufficiency or regurgitation )
- Problems with heart rhythm ( arrhythmias )
- High blood pressure you cannot control with medicines
- Blockages in the veins or arteries of your legs ( peripheral arterial disease )
- Recent heart catheterization
- Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Aneurysm (bulging) of the aorta or dissection (tear)
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Before you begin EECP, your doctor may:
- Discuss your medical history
- Discuss any medicines you are taking—Your doctor may not recommend EECP if you take blood thinners, like heparin or warfarin .
- Answer any questions you have about the procedure
You may want to wear tight-fitting, seamless pants. This can help prevent chafing from the cuffs.
You will not be given any anesthesia. EECP is not painful.
Description of Procedure
You will lie on a padded table. Electrodes will be placed on your chest to monitor your heart rhythm. Your blood pressure will also be monitored.
Cuffs will be placed on your calves and upper and lower thighs. The cuffs attach to air hoses that will inflate and deflate them in rhythm with your heart. You will feel a strong "hug" from the cuffs, beginning at your calves and moving to your upper thighs. The cuffs will inflate 60-80 times each minute during the treatment.
How Long Will It Take?
You will be treated for a total of 35 hours. Treatments are usually given 1-2 hours per day over seven weeks.
How Much Will It Hurt?
EECP is not painful. You may feel uncomfortable when the cuffs tighten on your legs.
Post-procedure Care
After your treatment, the electrodes and cuffs will be removed. You can go home as soon as you are done with treatment. You may feel slightly tired after the treatment. This feeling will get better over time.
When you return home, do the following to help manage your angina:
- Go to all appointments.
- Manage your weight .
- Eat a healthy diet .
- Stay hydrated (water)
- Take all medicines as prescribed.
- If you smoke, quit .
- Exercise regularly and stay as active as possible.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor or call for medical help right away if there are signs that your angina is getting worse:
- Severe chest pain (feels tight or heavy)
- Shortness of breath
- Numbness or tingling in shoulder, arm, or wrist
- Nausea
- Symptoms not relieved with medicine
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Looks very nice in my study and lets you arrange files both laterally and normal back to front. Will handle both letter and legal size files. Takes some time to assemble as the directions aren't as clear as they could be. I was missing some screws and one of the drawer glides didn't operate smoothly but the manufacturer was very prompt in getting out what I needed. They will also take calls helping with assembly questions.While it has a very nice finish veneer, the cabinet is made of pressed wood - not important to me buy maybe to others. The bottoms of each drawer are flimsy carboard like panels so they will not support any meaningful weight - the unit is designed to hang file folders only.All in all - A good value.

Holds a lot of stuff. There is extra storage space between the hanging files if using letter size - just put a plastic organizer in the middle to hold the items in their place. The assembly is a challenge - it is difficult to align the drawers perfectly. Drawers will wiggle side to side a little when fully loaded with materials - have to be sure to pull drawer(s) open with both hands and pull straight out.

Overall this is a good piece. Not so easy to assemble. It is difficult to align the drawers perfectly - they wiggle a bit from side to side if you don't pull the drawer open with two hands and pull straight out. There is extra storage between the two sets of hanging folders if use letter size - just need to put a magazine holder in the middle to keep papers from sliding under the hanging files.

Jan 28, 20136While it's not as good as it's predecessor, fans of the first movie will be drawn back to the world of Happy Feet in Happy Feet Two with it's likable characters, great animation, & wonderful musical numbers.
Dec 26, 20122Although the original was a hit, I was not struck at this sequel. Although the 'krill scenes' throughout the film provide a light-hearted and comical effect to the film that I liked, the rest of the film just lacked overall polish and the story line was mediocre and I didn't really enjoy the film because of this
Aug 28, 201210better thans it's predecessor :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aug 10, 20129A sequel did well for both children and for adults with fantastic music and lots of fun. Besides all this Happy Feet 2 is also a film about love and solidarity among different animals. This movie, besides being a great film entertainment, this film is also very educational.
Jun 24, 20120Why is it that happy feet in part 1 at the end a little of the yellow on his chest is showing and in part 2 its not i guess they dont watch the movie to see. Hello people do it right
Mar 17, 201210this is awesome george you should make a third happy feet. its a really fun family film. its funny,its inspiritional,and i love it a whole lot one of the best movie since the first happy feet. i kinda like it more than the first one.george like i said before make a nother one please!!!
Feb 6, 20120What trash! I wasted $10 seeing this film in the movies. It was so bad I actually saw a few people walk out on it. I felt the desire to do the same, but stuck with it in hopes it would get better. Sadly it was just as bad at the end as it was 15 minutes in. Avoid this trash at all cost.
Jan 30, 20127Even if you don't enjoy the storyline, the fun, music and sheer beauty of the animation is worth the entrance fee alone. The side story involving the Krill, voiced by Brad Pitt & Matt Damon is hilarious!
Jan 16, 20129Happy Feet Two is more original then its predecessor and is cheery, fun and hilarious; it features just moments of awe with its animation along with its music which could make you cry it is so beautiful. Along wit h its top notch voice acting the film succeeds and is a rare sequel that I think is better than the fist mostly because of it just being so adorable. I give this fantastic movie 88%.

Dec 16, 201110This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Nov 28, 20114I thought this would be a fun kids movie that i would fiknd funny and enjoyable but i didnt. Brad Pitt was the only funny character, the rest of the movie was boring and slightly annoying. A bit of a disappointment. 5/10
Nov 21, 201110
Nov 21, 20116I mean, it looks adorable, and I might end up seeing it, but just why? Can't anyone come up with original ideas for movies anymore? Everyone is making sequels! Is Mumble even going to be in this one?
Nov 18, 20114Why they would choose to make a sequel this long after the original hit can only be explained as being a cheap cash grab for parents who took there kids to the first one and and also to seek out a new audience as well. Far weaker in storytelling and keeping audience interest than the original film.
Nov 18, 20111The film has an essence similar to the first, a musical, which is produced unpretentious style with a teenager, but eventually becomes childish and tacky, it's really weak, bad, surely.
75Pitt and Damon deliver the best lines (wisecracks about the food chain, predators and evolution, etc.) but their characters also represent most of us.
50Dazzling panoramas, no matter how impressive, are no substitute for the involving story Happy Feet Two has had to do without.
38"Happy Feet" was one of the greatest and most original animated films, but the sequel can't even decide what it's about for the first 40 minutes.

Adult soccer thrives in McKinney
Photo Courtesy of Gina Goudy - The FC Half Nuts are one of six over-35 coed teams that play soccer every Sunday at Craig Ranch in McKinney. The McKinney Soccer Association's entire adult league has grown from 6 to 24 teams in five years.
By Chris Beattie, email@example.com
Over the hill and onto the pitch.
It's a mantra kicking around town, shared by single moms, lawyers and salesmen. In McKinney, adult soccer is a big deal that keeps getting bigger.
Just ask the FC Half Nuts, a 35-and-up coed team of residents from all over Collin County. Their name fits the growing trend - a little crazy must come with the competition at this stage in the game.
Yet, plenty of those types are finding their way to the McKinney Soccer Association (MSA). Its adult league started simply as "Social Sundays," but has grown from 6 to 24 teams in five years.
When the Half Nuts joined the league two years ago, there were just 12. The league's split into four divisions: COPA ("C" division), Predator ("B") and Premier ("A"), all with players 19 and older; and the Over-35 division.
"We're really in a league of our own," said Tim Culberson, an original Half Nut.
About twenty players are on each over-35 team, with Half Nuts ranging from 35 to 56 years old. The four divisions share the Craig Ranch fields from 4 to 10 every Sunday evening, playing a combined 12 games a night.
And nothing's scaled back for age's sake. They play the regulation two 45-minute halves, and a 10-game season.
"This year the league was able to introduce an over-35 [division]," said Bill Drobek, member of Leftovers United FC, which this season shares a 1-1 record with the Half Nuts. "Our team quickly jumped at the opportunity. Many of us are in our 40s and there is a huge difference in fitness, speed and agility compared to a player in their 20s. The league has even had former professional players in it."
Drobek, who's played with MSA for 10 seasons, scored his first goal at age 8 in Michigan, where he went on to play in high school and college. Then, as with many others who gain a career and family, the competition faded.
"After college, there was no real opportunity to play soccer in its true form, outside on a large field," said Drobek, who six years ago helped coach his son Riley's MSA team. "It just spiraled into joining an adult coed soccer league. I was hooked big time again because McKinney Soccer Association provides the opportunity for adults to play soccer."
Other local sports leagues, like in Plano and Frisco, don't offer much past youth. Allen this year created its first women's league, in which Schasel also plays.
Adult leagues are out there, just not always convenient. Both Schasel and Half Nut teammate Eric Rohleder have played in North Texas associations, for which most games are in Dallas.
"This is filling a kind of void of people living in the far north DFW area who didn't want to make that drive to Dallas," said John Long, MSA president. "We've got a different mix of people, a huge range of skill levels."
Getting "hooked" hasn't taken long for adult players, even those without a soccer life like Drobek's. Schasel and teammate Connie Pena, 43, didn't play when they were younger.
Schasel's parents chose for her a piano over a pitch, though she said soccer was "something I always wanted to do." Pena, in her third year with the Half Nuts, grew up playing basketball, but couldn't find an area women's or coed team.
"I took a leap and signed up to do something new and meet people," said Pena, a Frisco resident with two youngsters who yell, "Too slow," at her during games. "I didn't expect to be playing three years later. I've grown as a player and learned a lot along the way."
Other leagues don't share the same competitive fun as the over-35 coed league. Friendship and fitness go foot-in-foot, with many linking up after the season for weekend pick-up games.
"It's much more recreational, and there's no slide tackling allowed so that helps keep the blood pressure from getting too high," said Rohleder, a Plano resident who started playing last spring after an 11-year hiatus. "But the women aren't afraid to trade elbows and get after it."
Pena admitted that an otherwise healthy competition "gets heated some," but that more savvy teammates give constant pointers. They even use basketball analogies to get her up to speed.
"I came in with zero skill set," she said, "and they just have this willingness to coach me, even today."
Schasel's soccer time has lengthened as her kids have gotten driver's licenses. Divorced with three teenagers, Schasel said she eases their minds when she leaves the house in cleats and shin guards instead of lipstick and heels.
Her sons Adam and Matthew often pile on the constructive criticism coming back from games, to which she responds, "Dude, I'm 30 years older than you."
To adult players' outer circle of over-the-hills, soccer likely seems a distant pastime or "for the kids" - but not to them. It's every Sunday on the pitch.
Even if they have to be a little nutty.
"The league has responded to the skill sets, competitiveness and age groups to ensure it can be sustained and the players can continue to come back year after year," Drobek said. "Everyone wants to be competitive and have the hope of regaining the glory of a win."

The Indiana Pacers began play after the All-Star break with a convincing victory over the New York Knicks and now face the Detroit Pistons on back-to-back nights, beginning with Friday's matchup in Indianapolis. The Pacers have won 12 of their last 15 games against Detroit and should be supremely confident after routing the Knicks 125-91 on Wednesday. Detroit has won four of its last six games. The Pistons are just 7-18 on the road.Indiana has won seven of its last nine games and resides in third place in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers are just a half-game behind the Knicks for the No. 2 spot. Forward Paul George had 27 points against the Knicks in a strong follow-up to his first All-Star appearance. The Pistons defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 105-99 on Wednesday for their second consecutive road victory. Center Greg Monroe scored 10 of his 19 points in the final quarter to help Detroit stave off the Bobcats.TV: 7 p.m. ET, Fox Sports Detroit, Fox Sports IndianaABOUT THE PISTONS (22-34): Guard Brandon Knight's availability is in question after injuring both his right knee and right ankle against the Bobcats. The ailments prematurely ended his night during a 21-point performance that marked a return to form after he averaged only 7.5 points over the previous four games. Knight suffered the ankle injury immediately after re-entering the contest from being treated for the knee injury. The second-year pro is averaging 13.6 points but had just seven points on 3-of-12 shooting in a Jan. 30 loss to the Pacers.ABOUT THE PACERS (33-21): Forward Danny Granger is on the verge of returning from a knee injury that has sidelined him all season. Coach Frank Vogel has stated that he won't play Granger until he feels he is 100 percent but there are indications Granger could return against the Pistons, whether it is Friday or Saturday. Granger has an 18.2-point career average and has been Indiana's primary offensive weapon in recent seasons but will be a reserve when he returns. "When Danny gets back in the lineup, he's only going to add to what we're doing," forward David West said.BUZZER BEATERS 1. Detroit has lost in each of its last nine visits to Indiana.2. The Pacers are 22-5 at home but just 2-2 during a five-game homestand that concludes against the Pistons.3. Detroit PG Jose Calderon is averaging 14.6 points and 6.4 assists in eight games since being acquired from Toronto.PREDICTION: Pacers 87, Pistons 79.

Dying to take a celebrity photo
An amateur photographer is hit by a car snapping a photo of the singer's white Ferrari -- and he wasn't even in it
Topics: Media Criticism, Paparazzi, Justin Bieber, Journalism, Editor's Picks, Entertainment News, News
In what immediately qualifies as the worst way to die of the new year thus far, a Los Angeles paparazzo was killed Tuesday while trying to obtain photographs … of Justin Bieber's car.
Bieber was reportedly not even in his white Ferrari when it was pulled over by California Highway Patrol for speeding — a friend of the singer was behind the wheel while Bieber was elsewhere. But the car – and Bieber's vehicular comings and goings – are familiar to local lensmen. In November, Judge Thomas Rubinson dismissed a reckless driving charge against photographer Paul Raef, who in July was involved in a high-speed freeway chase in pursuit of Bieber. At the time, Raef's frantic driving, at speeds over 80 mph, prompted several 911 calls. But Robinson ruled that a 2010 law meant to curtail that kind of potentially dangerous behavior, "in pursuit of photos for commercial gain," could conflict with legitimate First Amendment-protected news gathering.
As it turned out, the 29-year-old still-unnamed would-be paparazzo — the Los Angeles Times reports the photographer was not a professional — didn't die in hot pursuit. He was killed instead by a Toyota Highlander SUV while crossing Sepulveda Boulevard after shooting photos of Bieber's car. TMZ reports CHP had twice asked the man to return to his own vehicle before he was struck.
What's most surprising about the man's death isn't that it happened. It's that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often. It's been over 15 years since Princess Diana was killed while being pursued by paparazzi in a Paris tunnel. Since then, anyone with camera – or a phone — has the potential to shoot a lucrative photograph. Sitting in a cafe while a celebrity eats? There's always a gossip site to sell it to. Lucky enough to be standing on the subway platform while a commuter meets his death? That's a front page right there. As a commenter on the Daily Mail noted Wednesday, the temptations are great when we all know that "one picture could be worth a fortune."

View from the Couch this week begins the promised analysis how rugby is run in SA and NZ
On any given Saturday afternoon I know I will be on a couch. Mostly it is my couch. It could also be the couch of a mate, so long as his fridge is well stocked and his family well trained. But whoever the owner of said couch may be; it is the view from the couch that is all important.
Of all the columns I have written, this has been the most difficult - a comparison between Bok and All Black rugby as promised last week. Not because of a lack of content. The details, stats and discussion of the differences between Seffrican and New Zealand rugby were all there. It was a case of not knowing how to start; how to articulate the overwhelming sense of disillusion and frustration experienced by fans on Saturday.
Those feelings were perfectly summed up by my brother-in-law's reaction during the match between the Boks and the All Blacks staged at Soweto's Soccer City. The Gentle Giant - a superb lock in his playing days and dubbed Big Dan by my two sons, Cane and Abel - got up and left with 20 minutes to go, saying: "I can't stand any more of this. The difference (between the Boks and AB's) is so obvious. The problems are so obvious. After so many years why does it never change?"
Good question.
It may be an urban legend, but isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different outcome? For the last 20 years, we have vied with Australia for the position of #2 in the world of rugby. And over and over again we hear rugby scribes and respected coaches talk about "sticking to the strengths of South African rugby."
Well, if the goal is for South Africa to remain at #2 or #3 in the world, then they must continue sticking to those strengths. And maybe that is the goal for those in charge of rugby in South Africa.
But they have seriously misjudged the view of those of us on the couch, those of us who buy the tickets. We know that in this country we have the athletes and the rugby talent to not only challenge New Zealand but supplant them at the top of the tree. And we are deeply dissatisfied with the status quo. In fact, that is a severe understatement. We have had a gutsful.
So we are going to depart from this column's normal format of examining the things not spoken about in the press aka the Turd Estate - looking forward and back; stat, quote and thought of the week. Honouring the commitment made in the last "View from the Couch", for the next three weeks this column will be examining the fundamental differences between Springbok and All Black rugby.
And the biggest differences are found off the playing field.
Please note: In no way am I saying that we should emulate everything that New Zealand does, doing what they do, exactly in the manner that they do it. That would only allow us to match them. A combination of the methods employed by New Zealand to reach the top, the abilities unique to the Republic and innovation; will take us beyond the All Blacks. But denial (or willful blindness) will get us nowhere.
Then let us, first of all, ensure that denial is no longer an option.
* John Smit's win percentage as captain - 64%
Richie McCaw's win percentage as captain - 90%
Over 100 matches, the difference is 26 wins. Considering that this year the Boks will play 12 tests, this difference translates to more than two years' worth of test matches.
* Since 2004, New Zealand has lost matches against four teams - South Africa, Australia, France and the Barbarians. Since 2004, South Africa has lost matches against eight teams - New Zealand, Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, France, the Lions and Leicester
* Since the advent of the yearly Southern Hemisphere test match competition (formerly known as the Tri-Nations, now the Rugby Championship) the All Blacks have won the tournament 11 times, winning 56 games, losing 22, for a points differential of +652.
In the same period the Boks have won the tournament 3 times, winning 30, losing 46; for a points differential of -340
I must admit, these stats shocked me when I compiled them. The full impact is a devastating blow to any delusion that traditional Springbok strengths have made us a force in Southern Hemisphere rugby - they have led to us being weaker than the All Blacks to the tune of almost 1000 points!
* Since 2004, the All Blacks have not lost a test match against Northern Hemisphere teams on their end of season tour. † In this period they have won three Grand slams in three attempts.
Since 2004, the Boks have lost eight test matches against NH teams on their end of year tour. They have had two attempts at the Grand Slam and failed on both occasions.
There can be no argument brooked that New Zealand are some flash in the pan. As much as it may grate to acknowledge, they have been the pre-eminent team in rugby for an incredibly long period of time. In fact, their run of success is scarcely believable - a record that is almost unprecedented in any team sport played anywhere in the world.
So what do they do that is different?
Part One - Unity of Purpose
There is one characteristic that differentiates New Zealand rugby from every other major rugby-playing nation on the planet. Everything they do, every decision that is made and every action that is taken… is geared towards making the All Blacks great. Nothing else comes before that purpose.
And where there is unity, you will find blessing.
This commitment is found at all levels of rugby organization throughout the Land of the Wrong White Crowd. There is a systemized coaching plan from under-7 level through to the All Blacks. It ensures that every year, as he/she grows, a player's skills are added to - layer upon layer. Players as young as 10, will do drills that can be seen in an All Black practice. I can recall Stefan Terblanche and Rassie Erasmus attending an Under-14 coaching clinic during a tour to New Zealand in 1999 and seeing 14-year-olds practicing skills that would be beyond some of their Bok teammates.
A result of this coordinated approach to coaching is that very seldom are debutants completely out of their depth when they pull on that black jersey - by the time they reach the national team, they are the finished article. Their individual skills are up to scratch and there are only minor adjustments required to fit into the team pattern.
In South Africa there isn't even a systematic coaching program within the individual provinces, let alone across the whole country. Hence players graduating to the Springbok ranks and the Bok coach saying that he has to develop them. Hence players making their debuts without basic skills. Hence Bok backline players not being able to finish a 3-on-2 overlap - catch, fix the opponent and pass.
But there is no greater outworking of this united purpose in New Zealand rugby, than in the pro ranks.
Many New Zealanders don't even realize the debt of gratitude they owe to Sir Jock Hobbs, who tragically passed away this year at the age of 52. In 1995, Sir Jock set the foundation for professional rugby in New Zealand and it is due to him that all NZ Super Rugby players are contracted to the NZRU and not to the individual unions or franchises.
As a result you will never see a situation in NZ such as played out at the Sharks in 2011 with both first and second choice Bok hookers in the same Super Rugby squad. John Smit and Bismarck du Plessis would have been assigned to different Kiwi franchises because that would have been the best thing for the national team (but not for the Sharks). And what we saw last year was not new. Not by a long shot. In 1996, the exact same scenario was seen at the Lions with both James Dalton and Chris Rossouw fighting for the Lions and Bok #2 jersey.
There is nothing new under the sun, my son.
But to me, the touch of genius was the decision to contract the New Zealand Super Rugby coaches to the national union. Each coach is appointed (and replaced) by the NZRU. So they are not only judged on their results - like every other coach in every other country - but also by their contribution to the national cause.
That is why we should not be surprised that New Zealand has had fewer injuries to key players than the Boks or the Wallabies. Neither should we be surprised that their players are fitter - finishing stronger than their opponents in every match they have played this year.
The Kiwi Super Rugby coaches worked with the AB coaching team to rest and condition players earmarked for the All Black squad. So Todd Blackadder knew his job was not on the line if he rested McCaw or Daniel Carter and the Crusaders lost.
Another area would be player positions. Under the New Zealand system, if Heyneke Meyer saw Jaco Taute as his long term #13 then that is where he would play in the Super Rugby. And there are two jaw-dropping examples of this playing out today. McCaw and Carter made their debuts for both the Crusaders and the AB's at eighthman and #12 respectively. Graham Henry's long term vision was different and in the 2004 Super 15 competition they were shifted to opensider and flyhalf at his request.
One would think that putting the national squad first in this way, would lead to a drop off in performance in Super Rugby. But since 1996, New Zealand teams have won the Super Rugby competition 11 times. During that period, South African teams have won 3 times.
Success breeds success.
Coming up in Parts Two and Three:
We will delve down deeper and look at playing philosophies and priorities, including:
Space v Size
Excellence v Winning
Evolving v "Sticking to our Strengths"
† Since 2004, New Zealand have lost three matches in the Northern Hemisphere: against France in the 2007 RWC semi-final; against the Barbarians (loaded with Boks and Aussies) in London in 2009, and against Australia in Hong Kong in 2010

LaGrange Highlands family seeks the gift of sight

Updated: February 25, 2013 6:16AM
LAGRANGE HIGHLANDS — The St. Arnaud's calendar is packed like the schedules of most young families with busy, happy kids.
"I have a recital this weekend for the variety show," said 5-year-old Mirielle, showing off silver and blue nails painted to match her skirt for a neighborhood dance.
"Then next weekend is the Daddy-Daughter Daisy Dance," Mirielle said of a date with her father.
Her brother, Patrick, 7, is equally booked, squeezing in a Saturday piano recital after a Pinewood Derby car race with his Tiger Scout group.
"I'm going to play Tic Tac Toe for the recital, and my car is red and yellow like Lightning McQueen," from the Disney "Cars" movie, he said.
The children chattered up a storm for visitors in between hugs and cuddles with their mom, Lori. Mirielle delivered a rapid-fire assortment of jokes as Patrick affectionately called his sister a "blabradoodle."
The family returned home Jan. 14 from a weekend in Boston, but not for a getaway. The children participated in a research study involving Leber Congenital Amaurosis, a rare genetic disease, which affects them both.
Patrick has been blind since birth, and Mirielle has a narrow field of vision deteriorating over time, as a result of the condition.
While nursing Patrick as an infant, Lori St. Arnaud worried her son wasn't making eye contact and had his vision tested. A devastating diagnosis came from a specialist a few months later and initially offered no course of action, only questions.
But research and contact with a north suburban family has offered hope for a promising treatment. Researchers have identified a healthy gene copy for three of 19 genes causing the disease. When the replacement is injected into the eye, the effects on the retina are reversed.
The St. Arnaud family and community groups have raised $7,000 of a $25,000 goal to fund research on Patrick and Mirielle's defective gene, NPHP5. The La Grange Lions Club has promised a matching grant of $25,000.
In the meantime, Lori and Lee St. Arnaud have helped their children adapt and live fully, giving them a taste of everything out there. The kids ice skate, go sledding, swim and play adapted T-ball and soccer. Mirielle started playing violin four months ago. The family also has several museum memberships.
Patrick attends first grade at a school in Elmhurst with a program for visually impaired students. Mirielle is in kindergarten nearby at Highlands Elementary School.
"We did a lot of fundraising when Patrick was diagnosed, but put that on hold for a while," Lori St. Arnaud said. "We just wanted to have fun with the kids."

The company, which remains family owned, was founded in 1942 as C&C Marshall Ltd. From day one it specialised in producing a variety of PVC products and quickly established a reputation as a pioneer of PVC extrusion and injection moulding techniques. By the early 1950s success saw the business outgrowing its manufacturing base in North London and in 1956 it relocated to a far larger site in Hastings,
East Sussex, where it remains to this day as one of the largest independent employers in the town.
The move to Hastings also saw the company establish the selling (commercial) arm of the business as Marshall-Tufflex Ltd. The market-leading tried-and-trusted brand of cable management systems was born. Today Marshall-Tufflex produces the most comprehensive range of PVC-U cable management solutions including Odyssey, the only all-curved profile on the market. In addition it offers a wide variety of profiles, sizes and finishes in PVC-U, aluminium, steel, GRP plus its Bio antimicrobial system. Many are Cat 6 compliant and all come with full suites of accessories. Bespoke orders are dealt with by a dedicated specials team.
Marshall-Tufflex has maintained its market leading position through innovation, evolving its offer to include a number of new Current carrying products including its revolutionary MT32 click-fit power connection solution and Series 507 floor distribution system, maintaining its reputation for delivering the highest quality products.
This focus on innovation saw the company launch a new business in 2009 Marshall-Tufflex Energy Management manufacturing Voltis, voltage optimisation systems to reduce power consumption in domestic, commercial and industrial locations. Voltis Home (domestic) and Voltis (commercial/industrial) have proved enormously successful, with new additions to the range due for launch later this year. With the addition of further energy management product solutions such as Sinergy sub-meters and the Ipsis energy control and management system all of which can all be linked through a Marshall-Tufflex control centre dashboard customers can one-stop-shop when it comes to measuring, recording, analysing and reducing power consumption.
The Marshall-Tufflex story so far is one of technological innovations coupled with high quality UK manufacturing standards and great customer service, said Managing Director Jim Fletcher. We intend to continue with this ethos, developing new and exciting products across our business that deliver tangible benefits to both our installer customers and end users as well as making life easy for our distributors to work with us. Wed like to thank all our customers and suppliers throughout the supply chain for supporting us and we look forward to many more years of working together.

District sees hope in budget autonomy push
- Staff Washington Business Journal
District leaders are hopeful after Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton last week rolled out a package of bills designed to push the city's hopes of greater autonomy, with advocates and officials sensing a renewed chance to get something done, the Washington Examiner reported.
"We're at a starting point this year that is so much stronger than the last time around," said James Jones, spokesman for the prolific advocacy group DC Vote.

Ladies what does a man have to be to qualify to enter a relationship with you?
Posted 29 September 2012 - 07:09 PM
2) homeowner? Don't care.
3) apartment dweller? Don't care.
4) College graduate? Not a must but MUST be intelligent. Smart is hawt!
5) good looking? Yes. However, I rate personality higher. It can make someone better looking quickly or real ugly, real fast.
6) finacially idnependent? Yes. If I wanted to support someone I would have lolchildren.
7) nice to people? Yes but not too nice. Pushovers and doormats are NOT attractive.
8) pet compatible? MUST LOVE DOGS!
9) completely heterosexual? For me, yes.
10) music lover? YES! (the good kind, not the crap Gregoir listens to. lol)
I'll add:
- Must be crazy fun but not batshit crazy.
- Self confidence and pride without being an egomaniac, self righteous.
- Solid character.
- Honesty, trust and respect rank VERY high with me. You lie once that's kind of it (unless I'm asking if my ass looks huge in a pair of jeans, then it's okay. lol)
- Must be a good friend. You can tell a lot about someone by observing how they treat their friends.
- Must be comfortable in their own skin. If you don't like yourself, why the hell should I?
- Jealous types need not apply.
- Must be able to make me laugh... a lot.
- Must have their own interests independent of mine.
- There must be a superior mental connection as well as physical. If one is missing the other will train wreck pretty damn fast.
- Must have the ability to communicate and if a disagreement arises must be able to fight fair.
- I like men that can cook. Foodies are... reow!
- Must be killer in the sack. I have zero time for mediocre sex at this point in my life, I'd rather go without (and have)!
That's it for now, if I think of more I'll add. lol
And Ry, you have lots of awesome qualities... not just the ones you originally listed.
Posted 29 September 2012 - 07:29 PM
Posted 29 September 2012 - 10:39 PM
openly communicate needs and feelings in an effective way/willing to be vulnerable
vegetarian is kinda important and similar values about food (support local. etc)
intelligent/intellectual curiosity/open-mindedness
kind heart/shows a lot of compassion
sexual chemistry
not moody
sees a relationship as a partnership/makes the partnership a priority
not jealous or controlling AT ALL/not needy
my dearest friend
i have all that (and he comes with all the bonuses of a college education, a job, cooking skills, pet compatibility, excellent taste in music, same values, lives in gratitude, but he does have really shitty taste in tv shows. lol).
I hope every human being is blessed enough to find this kind of relationship.. don't settle, work on yourself and be ready for the one who makes you realize what you waited a lifetime to find.
Posted 29 September 2012 - 10:42 PM
I get the sense that financial independence and ambition (not insane ambition, but good goals that you're actively working towards) are really important things to be with any woman worth having in your life in general. At least motivation I mean. I'm sure this doesn't apply to everyone but I know from the guy side of things I really don't want to ever have to regularly depend on my girlfriend/wife/significant other or whatever for my financial needs, been there and done that and it's not fun. I don't want to support someone myself so I wouldn't want someone supporting me. it's different I think if you have a good reason for being in a particular situation though. I haven't exactly dated much myself, but lately I'm starting to really figure out the difference between being attracted to someone and actually being interested in them. I think attraction is easier/much more common than interest and suitability for a relationship. I know I would rather be alone than with somebody who isn't good for me, even though being alone sucks sometimes, it's still better than being unhappy or unsatisfied with the person you're with. Okay I'm done, I'm not one of the ladies so I'll let more of them answer
I really hope you find the most amazing partner and friend - you really deserve it
Posted 01 October 2012 - 05:12 PM
- stability. emotional, financial, and otherwise. situational chaos is okay, but some people seem to live in a constant state of flux and that's a big turn-off to me.
- honesty
- the ability to openly communicate his needs and desires, and hear and respond to mine
- the ability to be loving (and lovable) even when we disagree. cultivating the ability to handle conflict without aiming to hurt the other is a real gift to the people you care the most about.
- he has to be my safe harbor when life gets stormy...and be open enough to accept that i'm his, too.
- ability to laugh at me, at himself and at life in general. i love to laugh and a sense of humor is really important to me.
- sarcasm is okay sometimes, but sincerity is better.
- strong sexual chemistry. you either have it as a couple or you don't.
- a positive outlook on life
- a helpful person who takes pleasure in doing nice things for others
- manly energy. i love that my guy is strong and loves fixing things and opens doors for me and leads when we dance and...i could go on and on.
- self-assurance and the ability to be comfortable in his own skin...to like who he is with me and without me.
- an appreciation for music and other interests outside work and home life
- a deeply embedded personal code of ethics and the ability to stand up for it
- goals and interests that align with my own, and outside interests so i'm not his whole world
- intelligence. people are smart in all kinds of different ways so it isn't any one thing like a huge vocabulary or the ability to solve a complex equation that i look for, but a curiosity about the world around you and the ability to learn and grow through experience is super sexy to me.
- zero jealousy issues. ability to trust in us.
- the ability to recognize when situations or relationships aren't healthy for him and make difficult changes...to care enough about him/us to make good choices when it matters.
Posted 01 October 2012 - 09:52 PM
1) Job holder?
2) homeowner?
3) apartment dweller?
4) College graduate?
5) good looking?
6) finacially idnependent?
7) nice to people?
8) pet compatible?
9) completely heterosexual?
10) music lover?
Well I got 4, 7 and 10 right and maybe 8
Ry, looking at your list i am reminded of the point i wanted to make, but i got sidetracked making my own list. sure, some of us have lists with lots of similarities. we're friends and we have a lot of the same likes and dislikes, have shared experiences and insight with each other that give us those "never again" thoughts about boys we've dated in the past, expectations of current loves, etc.
but in the end, only love matters. i know plenty of people who love someone who doesn't have steady employment (*cough* Jason *cough* - i've been un- or underemployed for over a year now, and he loves me more than ever). i owned a home and it wasn't so great...in fact, my dream home of 10 years ago has dropped in value over the 9 years since i bought it and will probably never recover that value. people who don't meet the traditional standard of beauty fall in love and stay in love all the time, so obviously that's not important to everyone. and i know plenty of couples, both in real life and on the boards, where one or both individuals aren't strictly heterosexual but are in a committed, hetero relationship where they are loved and cherished for exactly who and what they are.
so in the end, all you can do is strive to be the best YOU that you can be, and be the best for the person who falls in love with you. love them back, and be good to each other. don't get complacent and treat them like a fixture in your life that will never go away no matter what you do or don't do, and above all else don't be abusive when things don't go your way or you'll kill their love for sure.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 11:07 AM
2) not bat shit crazy
3) knows how to pay attention to a penis
and if I had to answer that list as a guy.....
1) sure would be nice
2) doesn't matter
3) doesn't matter
4) smart is good
5) my taste on looks varies but yes
6) yes
7) yes
8) yes
9) doesn't matter
10) yes
Posted 02 October 2012 - 07:00 PM

As I read the lists I noticed only Kris stuck to 10 answers , then I noticed nobody touched on what really matters until Thug said it.
I agree with everything mentioned...all good aspects but i could look past a few if I was in LOVE
Posted 02 October 2012 - 07:10 PM
I would add to my original reply that love, true powerful love does make it easy to overlook things... and I think everyone deserves the benefit of not being judged harshly for who they are at the core
I beg to differ, true love does not compel one to overlook, but rather love combined with respect and compassion make idiosyncrasies accepted perhaps endearing, not overlooked or endured.
