A community 'Kaffeehaus' in Henrico's Far West End
Born and raised in good old Europe, I am quite familiar with the traditional Austro-Hungarian tradition of the Kaffeehaus, an institution that represents a lifestyle of relaxing and thinking in a familiar environment with coffee, pastry, news, good service, marble tables, subdued sounds like the click-clack of the coffee machine, mugs and plates, conversations among patrons and with staff and a bit of low volume Johann Strauss music.
And so it was a thrill to find a modern version of a Kaffeehaus right here in Henrico County: The Daily Grind, near Short Pump Town Center. > Read more.

It's not always easy to interpret three dimensional shapes in two dimensional photographs but above is a side by side comparison of a W. S. Foster hand made shoe (on the left) and a high quality machine-made shoe. Though each shoe fits the same foot, it's obvious that the hand made shoe is narrower and follows the shape of the foot more closely.
Today's machines just can't make shoes that follow the curves of the feet as well as a person with hand tools and I think it likely that leather shoes will disappear altogether before they do (it's telling that Gaziano & Girling obtained its best-in-category shape on its machine-made offerings not with modern technology but with a century-old machine they located).
The differences in shape are more apparent from the bottom. The machine-made shoe on the left is wider from toe to heel and particularly at the waist, and the upper of course just follows along.

Hand vs. Machine Made Shoe Shapes
15 comments:
- Testing said...
Will, are you telling me that with today's technology, with CPUs having tens of millions of transistors in a square inch and ubiquitous satellites launched every day, no one can design a machine that makes a shoe with a less bulky shape?
Hmm. I think differently. The shoe industry didn't catch up to today's technology. The big companies care about volume, and the small shops (like Edward Green) don't have the resources nor the people to improve their machines. - September 20, 2008 at 8:22:00 AM PDT

What is the small piece of metal on the front of the hand-made shoe? What purpose does it serve?
- September 20, 2008 at 9:48:00 AM PDT
- mark said...
what do you think of the sartorialist blog?
- September 20, 2008 at 10:03:00 AM PDT
- Will said...
Testing, I wrote that there is no machine that can do it today. Go ahead and design one, yours will be the first.
Ruroni, the toe tap drastically reduces wear on the front of the sole, which is where my shoes would otherwise wear out first. Sole replacements are expensive. - September 20, 2008 at 10:04:00 AM PDT
- Will said...
Mark, I think the sartorialist takes much better photos than I do.
- September 20, 2008 at 10:13:00 AM PDT
- Simon Myerson said...
Equally tellingly, the wear on the hand made shoe is slap bang in the middle of the sole...
- September 20, 2008 at 12:46:00 PM PDT
- Shamigo said...
we've seen time and time again the difference between a machine made suit and a garment made in the basements of Saville Row. What makes you think a computer can replicate a hand made shoe and better than a computer can replicate a hand made suit? - September 20, 2008 at 4:20:00 PM PDT
- KiWeTO said...
would have been easier to visualize if both shoes showed the same side. ;-) hard to call the differences since one is on the left, and the other, on the other!
The point is:
Volume-produced machine made shoes, require allowances for a variety of feet in each size.
Not to mention that cost-wise, customizing the machine to make 1 pair of shoes (not impossible), would be rather silly in economic practice.
Bespoken shoes, by cobblers that specialize in one foot at a time manufacture, have almost zero costs in terms of 'setting up' the cobbler to sew the shoe together. And more importantly, of course, they fit the foot better. If not, its not bespoke! - September 20, 2008 at 5:17:00 PM PDT
- mark said...
will, aside from the format, what do you think of the content of the sartorialist blog? not so much as regards the younger fashionista shots, but the more continental take on fashion (like the bolder colors, more trim fits of the italians)?
- September 20, 2008 at 5:52:00 PM PDT
- Will said...
Mark, I don't follow it regularly.
- September 20, 2008 at 7:00:00 PM PDT
- gentleman amateur said...
Great post, Will. Any difference in function between the 2 pairs of shoe trees?
- September 20, 2008 at 11:37:00 PM PDT
- Will said...
Hinged trees should be a bit better than the sprung version over time but I don't know that I've ever been able to tell a difference.
- September 21, 2008 at 7:28:00 AM PDT
- habitué said...
There is obviously a misunderstanding on how shoe machines (the one's licensed by Goodyear, therefore goodyear-welted) work. BTW: If the shoe is ready to wear (RTW) and no machine is used, it is stitched by hand.
The process of manufacturing the shoe with a last specially designed for you (bespoke) and a last for "the masses" (RTW) is exactly the same. - September 22, 2008 at 1:14:00 AM PDT
- culverwood said...
Might the inabiltiy of machine made shoes to replicate the curves of hand made ones have something to do with time? I understand that hand made shoes are left on the last for some considerable time to obtain their shape. This is of course impossible in a factory where time is money.
- September 22, 2008 at 2:46:00 AM PDT
- mercer said...
In case anyone's interested, there's a thread that touches on this at the London Lounge. It's in The Bespoke Forum; the topic is "Shoe lasts -- how long does it take to make one?"

As the nation observes National Adoption Month, Eagle Village celebrates 19 years of providing adoption services.
(PRWEB) November 18, 2012
Eagle Village joins thousands of individuals, government agencies and child advocacy organizations across the nation in promoting the National Adoption Month 2012.
Launched by the U.S. Children's Bureau, Adopt US Kids is about spreading awareness to increase the number of parents willing to adopt children with special needs.
The Adoption program at Eagle Village has facilitated twenty-four adoptions already this year and twenty-six more children are waiting for homes.
In conjunction with the National Adoption month campaign, Eagle Village will be promoting adoption through their website, social media and press releases. A radio program on Strong Tower Radio in Cadillac and a news feature on MiNews26 in Cadillac will both air this month, focusing on adoption and the need for adoptive parents.
Dave Bitler, Director of Program Services at Eagle Village shared, "Every child wants and needs a family, a place to belong, a place to call home. Many of the children we serve have been in numerous foster homes for extended periods of time. A "forever family" is the best gift we can give these children."
Preston, the young man whose photo is featured here is looking for a forever family of his own. Preston is bright and energetic. Specific information on him can be found here.
Eagle Village is a family treatment center providing Intervention Services, Residential Treatment, Foster Care and Adoption services for all counties in Michigan. If you know of a family in crisis that may benefit from these programs contact Eagle Village at 231-832-2234 http://www.eaglevillage.org

Rated 3 out of 5Â by 2
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Roxanne 1010 Neckline is way too high
I purchased 3 other Adidas tops I love but this one is cut all wrong. It doesn't show on the photo since it's not worn by a real woman but the neckline is way too high and it feels like I'm wearing a bib. Color is great and so is the material. I wish it would fit. I tried really hard to make it fit, trying 3 different bras under it but it just wasn't for me. Also the arm holes are huge and you see a lot of the bras side.

Out of shape
I lolly-gagged enough. Since Bighorn I haven't done much in terms of making my body to feel uncomfortable, a.k.a. training, and that lead to 4 extra pounds that I was so proud of not having before. While it's not all 15 that I dropped, it still bugs me that they are there. I guess there is no easy ride for me, huh? And, on top of it, I kind of remembered I have AC100 in September, and even though I have no set goals, and rarely train for a second 100 in a season (but rather kind of drift on past fitness), I thought it would be nice to do something for my own mental sake. That and a schedule let up on me.
Post-PCT is still lingering, with drop bags to return and results to fix (manual labor produces human error, thanks for patience, everybody!). Lots of emails flooding our mail boxes, but it's all good, nice to hear responses. We do put our hearts into the race, you know:)
Anyhow, I hit the gym Monday pretty darn hard and did things I haven't in 2 months, and as a result was sore overall by Tuesday afternoon. Not to mention I returned to the track on Tuesday morning. Oh, first lap was the longest ever! I couldn't believe it's a mere 400m! But I survived and committed to get back to it from now on every week. Besides, next 2 weeks Stephen and Max are going to be at the day camp, what means I have to drive them for a 9 am start, and no trail runs for me - road and track. May be I'll re-learn that running nonsense...
I couldn't laugh on Tuesday, my abs were sore. My ass talked to me too. So did my shoulders - window rolling in the car was a task. I loved the feeling, I forgot all about it. So I went back to the gym on Wed night and shook up some booty again. After morning road run, which I can actually call a run - I didn't walk a step. That doesn't happen often...Thanks God I decided on a day off today!!!
I am hitting the Gorge on Saturday, and on Sunday Mike and I are off to scout the south part of PCT trail going through Indian reservation - it will be the second half of the 100M race we are putting on next year. Need to figure out how accessible our aid stations positions and whether or not we should be marking the course. I hope not - it's too remote. If you can't follow a single track of PCT, why are you there, right? So with all that I may round up with some 80 miles - at least it's not 35 as it's been hanging the last 7 weeks with a rare exception:)
I had registered for my fall semester at the massage school, fun times. Believe it or not, I actually was reading the material when I was in Colorado! I picked 2 classes, they start October 2nd, and will go for 2 months. I am excited to find out what's this thing is all about.
I am also done with mortgage payments for the old house I used to live in. Long story, but I don't own any part of it anymore. I like the sound of it!
What else is happening? I am eating healthy and hating the scale. I have a new body art and feeling funky and giggly about it. I am trying to catch up on blogs and leave a comment. I am reading a really cool book on Buddhism and loving it, finding more and more it been very attractive to my way of thinking. I am running around happy and looking forward to live each day in a moment listening to my inner voice and following it...
As long as you stay unconscious, asleep at the switch of your own life, true happiness will prove elusive. Lama Surya Das

What's the title of you book on Buddhaism?
By the way, I think my inner Buddha is a pair of stinky, dirty running socks. Maybe that's what I'll be in the next life?
Yeah, I hardly think +4lbs. means you're out of shape. Besides, what are you measuring?
I stopped losing weight but I'm still losing inches and fat. I'll bet you're doing the same thing - but woman-meat is way better looking than man-meat.I'm with Rob on this one, please put some markers out there on the second half. It's nice to see a reassuring ribbon once in awhile. I get paranoid when I don't see one, especially at night, "did I miss a turn somewhere?". Good luck with training for AC100, oy it's a hard one too. See you soon at Headlands.
ReplyDeleteOops, why didn't someone tell me that 35 mpw will only keep me out of shape! :)
I'm sure your body responds quickly enough, Olga, that you'll be feeling fit as ever in no time.
Glad you're scouting the OR100 course. Can't wait to run it. Forget trail markers....can't you just light it up for me?? :)

Despite public perception, Iceland is hot. Sure, summer temperatures rarely rise above 13 C, but the small Nordic country has become a holiday superstar.
Tourism has nearly doubled since 2000 (last year saw over 565,000 visitors), but while tourism has helped jolt Iceland out of recession, the country is courting a different demographic: it wants to woo business travelers.
"The tourism numbers fluctuate a lot, depending on the season, whereas corporate travel is distributed more evenly throughout the year," explains Thorsteinn Orn Gudmundsson, managing director of Meet in Reykjavik, the official convention bureau for the Icelandic capital. Hoping to tap into the events market, Reykjavik has set to work building its conference infrastructure.
Perhaps the most prominent display of the city's corporate courtship is the newly built Harpa, a combo concert hall and convention center that opened May 2011.
A joint effort by Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, Henning Larsen Architects and Batteriio Architects, Harpa is one of the most cutting-edge conference centers in the world. Its glittery, disco-like facade is meant to mimic the country's stunning glacial surrounds, while the interior evokes Iceland's lava fields.
The acoustics, however, are the real star. Each of Harpa's four concert halls has a large overhead reflector system and acoustics control chambers, all of which are intended to produce a superior sound.
"We may be a small country, but we've got big ideas," says Karitas Kjartansdottir, Harpa's conference director. Though the venue is in its early days, and Kjartansdottir reckons it takes up to five years to market a new conference hall, Harpa has already booked some big gigs.
"If you're a manager, and you're risk-adverse, you might be hesitant to send several hundred of your best employees overseas somewhere, especially if you're not fully sure of how evolved the infrastructure is in that place," says Gudmundsson. "People who have been here already know how state-of-the art our technology and infrastructure are, but there are some who have no idea, and they might think of Iceland as primitive, in a sense. Our focus right now is in trying to shift that perception."
Another advantage that managers may not be privy to is the convenience of Iceland's location. Though it may seem like a distant land, the country is a mere three-hour flight from central Europe, and five hours from many North American destinations.
Meet in Reykjavik has adopted the slogan "meet in the middle," a reference to both the country's handy midway coordinates, and to the historic Reykjavik Summit, where former U.S. President Ronald Reagan met with General Secretary of the Soviet Union's Communist Party Mikhail Gorbachev in 1986, to negotiate arms control.

Organize Your Life with Nepomuk
When you build a house, you cannot start with the paint, fancy windows and doorbell. Instead, you spend a lot of time digging in the ground, disturbing the neighbors and making little visible progress while you lay the foundation. It has been much the same with Nepomuk, the Semantic Desktop technology of the KDE platform. Work has been going on for a long time beneath the surface, causing occasional disruption—such as file indexing slowing down the rest of your desktop—with little visible progress. However, the foundations now are solid, the main structures are in place, and KDE's developers are adding features that make Nepomuk useful for you, right now.
So, what can Nepomuk actually do for you?
The first thing Nepomuk offers is file searching integrated into your KDE applications. If your distribution has enabled Nepomuk, files also can be tagged and rated from KDE's Dolphin file manager. You can search for files simply by typing a query into Dolphin's search box, which brings up results and a panel of basic options that make it easy to refine the search. These enable you to limit searching to the current folder and let you choose whether to search everything, text documents (including OpenDocument texts and PDFs), images or filenames. When you have identified the files you want, you can use the Save button to add the search query to your Places panel on the left of the Dolphin window, making the search available in the future via a single click. The saved search also is available in the file chooser dialog of all KDE applications.
What Is This Thing Called Nepomuk?
Nepomuk (also known as the Networked Environment for Personalized, Ontology-based Management of Unified Knowledge) began as a research project funded by the European Union to explore better ways of managing, understanding and sharing desktop information. It attracted participation from corporations, such as IBM and Linux vendor Mandriva, in addition to involvement from the National University of Ireland.
The initial project ran from 2006 to 2008, during which time a reference implementation was written in Java. Mandriva and KDE have since worked on integrating the ideas into KDE software, retaining the name Nepomuk.
Practical use of the technology required a high-performance file indexer and query database. Initially, Nepomuk's own Java-based Sesame query framework was used in the KDE implementation, but its reliance on Java led to packaging problems for some distributions, and KDE switched to Virtuoso in 2009. No longer held back by these technical constraints, the main barriers to making greater use of Nepomuk in KDE software have been removed.
You can access additional search options in Dolphin 1.5 (part of KDE software compilation 4.5) by clicking the green + button. These provide filtering based on file modification date, size, tags or rating. You can continue to add and combine additional filters until you have isolated the exact files you want—for example, by limiting the search to files with a particular tag that have not been modified since a particular date. You also can use the filters directly without any search terms.
When Nepomuk first came to KDE software, it lacked a good graphical search interface to expose its capabilities. Nepomuk always has offered the ability to construct complex search queries using a query language, such as SPARQL. You could, and still can, enter queries in this way using Dolphin. Click on the breadcrumbs above the search results to access Dolphin's editable location bar, view the query that was used to generate the results and edit it directly. However, many users do not have an intimate knowledge of the query language constructs and would consider such an approach better suited to the command line than a graphical file manager. The search interface in Dolphin 1.5 graphically exposed many of Nepomuk's search capabilities for the first time.
Peter Penz, Dolphin's lead developer, still sees problems with the search interface in Dolphin 1.5: "It just takes way too many clicks to specify a query." KDE developers, including Peter and Mandriva's Sebastian Trüg have been grappling with the problem of making a good graphical interface that exposes the power of Nepomuk searches in a more convenient manner. In 2009, Alessandro Sivieri began work on "faceted browsing", an approach to the problem that provides panels of search filters in the file manager sidebar, resulting in his Sembrowser prototype (see Resources). Now, these ideas have come together to provide a faceted browsing sidebar in Dolphin 1.6 (part of KDE software compilation 4.6) that appears when you start a search and makes additional filters available with single clicks. Faceted browsing also will be integrated into the KDE platform, making it available for other KDE applications to use.

Port of Coupeville hires accountant to look into Greenbank Farm claims
By NATHAN WHALEN
Whidbey News Times Staff reporter
December 17, 2012 · Updated 1:49 PM
Port of Coupeville hired an accountant to investigate financial allegations made by a former chairperson of a volunteer committee.
Chuck Edwards, a Freeland accountant, is reviewing allegations made by Georgia Gardner, a Coupeville accountant, about apparent errors, omissions and/or inconsistencies in the tax and payroll records of the Greenbank Farm Management Group. Gardner is currently a Whidbey General Hospital commissioner and she is a former state legislator.
According to a motion approved by the commissioners for the Port of Coupeville, Edwards will review correspondence written by Gardner, interview Gardner and trustees for the Greenbank Farm Management Group and provide findings and recommendations for the port commissioners by the end of the year.
The investigation stems from a resignation letter written by Gardner in October that outlined her concerns about the management group's finances. She had been serving as the chairwoman for a volunteer group, known at as the Greenbank Farm Executive Planning Group, tasked with examining the publicly owned farm and developing recommendations about how it will be managed in the future.
"We think this is a very good development," said Michael Stansbury, president of the farm's management group.
In an interview after the meeting, he said staff have conducted a review of the farm's finances but haven't found anything that would cause Gardner's concerns. He added that he's tried repeatedly to contact Gardner, but hasn't talked to her yet.
Jim Patton, executive director for the port, said he hopes the investigation will address concerns raised.
Edwards' work has to be complete by the end of the year in time for a special meeting at which the volunteer group will present its final report.
That special meeting where the planning group will give a report and recommendations is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 2 in the Coupeville Library.

Calls Zoltek's Reasons for Refusal Frivolous and Without Merit
Believes Zoltek's Board Seeks to Avoid Accountability to Shareholders
NEW YORK, March 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Quinpario Partners LLC issued a statement today in response to a letter it has received from outside counsel to Zoltek Companies, Inc. ("Zoltek" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ZOLT) indicating that Zoltek does not intend to comply with Quinpario's March 4th written request that the Company call a special meeting of shareholders for purposes of removing the entire current Board and electing five highly qualified Quinpario nominees to fill the vacancies (the "Special Meeting"). Quinpario noted the deficiencies alleged in the letter are unsound and defy logic. Nevertheless, today Quinpario has submitted to the Company a supplemental request in response to the Company's frivolous allegations regarding the deficiencies and is urging the Board to immediately take the steps required to call and hold the Special Meeting.
"We were surprised to learn on March 5th that the Company had rejected our lawful Special Meeting request without first having completed a full review of the written request and without providing us with any specific reasons whatsoever for the Company's rejection. We were informed that a more detailed letter would be forthcoming regarding the reasons for rejecting our request. After a week without any further correspondence from the Company or its outside counsel, on March 12th we submitted a series of letters from Cede & Co., as the record holder of the shares and on behalf of each member of the Quinpario Group, to the Company, together with a supplemental Special Meeting request, confirming the members of the Quinpario Group are the holders of not less than 10 percent of all the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.
Finally, on March 13th our legal counsel received a letter from Company counsel alleging a series of meritless deficiencies with our request as the basis for the Company's refusal to call or hold the Special Meeting. Our legal counsel has separately responded to Company counsel in further detail regarding these alleged deficiencies and has advised us that these purported deficiencies are entirely unfounded and without merit. Unfortunately, it appears the Company is trying to hide behind frivolous allegations in order to impede and delay the lawful exercise of our rights to call the Special Meeting.
We have gone above and beyond what is required to call a Special Meeting under Zoltek's Bylaws and Missouri law, and it is time for Zoltek to take the steps required to immediately comply with our lawful request. Based on the frivolous nature of the alleged deficiencies provided by Company counsel, we think it is clear the Board is intentionally delaying the Special Meeting. We are growing increasingly concerned that the current Board's interests are not aligned with those of its shareholders and its recent actions demonstrate the Board is seeking to avoid accountability at the hands of its shareholders. We have responded in good faith to the Company's alleged deficiencies in our Special Meeting request. Should the Board continue to impede and delay the lawful exercise of our rights as shareholders to call the Special Meeting, we will take whatever action we deem is necessary to protect the best interests of shareholders, including seeking to compel the Special Meeting under applicable law.
It is our expectation that the Board will promptly comply with our Special Meeting request and ultimately do the right thing for Zoltek and its shareholders."

Silverdome roof was torn, says Pontiac building official
The deflation of the Silverdome's roof might not have been a planned event, Pontiac's building director said Friday.
"I was told there was a small tear that kept the fans from being able to keep up with the air necessary to keep the roof inflated," said Pontiac Building Director Jeff Bowdell, of the firm Wade Trim, the city's contractor for building department services.
Bowdell heard that the roof had come down and went to the Silverdome on Thursday afternoon to perform an inspection, he said.
"If it was allowed to fill with ice and snow, the weight would rip every panel in the roof," Bowdell said of the deflated roof, which he said is still about 75 feet above the arena floor at its lowest point.
The building department's directive is that no one is to be in the arena unless they are there repairing the roof, Bowdell said, and that repair or replacement "may need permits, because we don't know what they're doing yet," he said.
The tear was described as being on the north side of the Silverdome and very near the edge of the roof, Bowdell said.
When reached for comment Friday, a Silverdome staff member said the roof was taken down intentionally.
"All I know is that it's part of our plan for the 2013 renovations, and they shut the fans off to control the roof coming down," said events coordinator Alex Loewy.
"I know for sure we did purposely take it down," he said.
On Thursday, Loewy said the 23 fans holding up the roof were turned off one by one beginning at about 7 p.m. Wednesday, and that the roof had completely deflated by Thursday. Continued...
The Silverdome's ownership plans to begin renovations in the spring or early summer, Loewy said, and could take up to a year.
After the renovation is complete, the Silverdome will have a hard roof not supported by air, and will include solar panels to help make the stadium a "green" facility, the events coordinator said.
The Silverdome was auctioned in November 2009 by then-Emergency Financial Manager Fred Leeb to Andreas Apostolopoulos of the Canada-based Triple investment Group LLC for $583,000.
The stadium was completed in 1975 at a cost of $55 million.
Prior to Leeb's appointment as Pontiac's emergency financial manager, bids for the stadium of more than $20 million by two groups of developers — led by Schostak Brothers and Etkins Equities — were not accepted by the Pontiac City Council.
In March 2012, Emergency Financial Manager Lou Schimmel denied a request by Triple Investment Group LLC for a tax abatement for the Silverdome.
Schimmel said he was expecting "a multi-million dollar plan, and it ended up being sort of routine maintenance."
This past fall, the Silverdome was listed as one of eight possible new casino sites in a ballot proposal initiative by Citizens for More Michigan Jobs to expand casino gambling in Michigan.
Leeb, the city's former emergency financial manager, was part of Jobs First LLC, the coalition behind the ballot proposal.
The proposal failed to win approval for the November ballot from the State Board of Canvassers. Continued...
The 80,000-seat Silverdome was the home of the Detroit Lions from 1975 until January 6, 2002, when the team played its final game in Pontiac against the Dallas Cowboys before moving to Ford Field in Detroit.

Located in southern Egypt, Luxor has been often been referred to as "the world's greatest open air museum". Over the ages, the city has played host to numerous cultures from the Babylonians to the Phoenicians and Minoans, and the impressive number of monuments, tombs and temples today stand testament to this.
Modern day Luxor stands on the site of the ancient city of Thebes, the old capital of Egypt. With the Valley of the Kings just nearby, Egyptian history lovers should head to what was once the glorious city of the god Amon-Ra.
Rainfall in Luxor is very rare, and during the summer months, temperatures can easily reach 50°C.

He argued for what he calls a "balanced approach" to handling the upcoming sequester - the spending cuts Obama and the legislature imposed upon the budget.
"I believe we can finish the job the same way we've started it -- with a balanced mix of more spending cuts and more tax reform," he said.
A deal which included both spending cuts and tax increases reached at the beginning of the year temporarily delayed the deeper cuts from taking effect.
Obama repeated his argument that Republicans' opposition to further tax increases puts the "burden of avoiding those (scheduled) cuts mainly on seniors and middle-class families."
Neither party made significant progress towards resolving either issue in their weekly addresses.
But they did set out their positions ahead of the State of the Union. In his address on Tuesday, Obama is expected to go into more detail on his proposals. Republicans have selected Sen. Marco Rubio, seen as a rising star in their party and potential 2016 presidential candidate, to deliver their response.

I realize this doesn't help you any but here's a link to "I Don't Sleep, I Dream" from the same Saturday Night Live appearance. If I'm not mistaken, the person that posted this to Vimeo also posts here so maybe they can post "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" to Vimeo as well.
"We were listening to the UNC radio (station) there and they were playing an R.E.M. song. I like R.E.M. fine, but at the end of it, the DJ says, 'Ya that was R.E.M., the sound of the new South'. I looked at my roommate and we said, Gawd, if that's the sound of the new South, I preferred it when it was on the skids. That's how we got the name."

Frequently Asked Questions / Coping with Cancer / Side Effects / Lymphedema
Last Modified: July 22, 2007
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I had a lymph node dissection and have developed lymphedema (mild), but have a painful condition which my physical therapist says is called roping or cording. The nerves were injured during surgery. I cannot find relief and no one seems to know what to do. In the meantime, I have to have radiation therapy and cannot get my arm up [for the radiation treatments] because of this condition. Do you know anything about it?
Linda McGrath Boyle PT, DPT CLT-LANA, Cancer Rehab Specialist and OncoLink Lymphedema Team Editor, responds:
This is also known as Axillary Web Syndrome, and is most likely the result of a lymphovenous injury. This condition appears most often within the first week to 10 days after surgery. It is characterized by the development of palpable cords of subcutaneous tissue that extend from the axilla (armpit) into the inner arm. These cords can result in pain and a limitation of shoulder abduction. Our team works with patients with this condition, up to 3 times per week in some cases, in order to gently stretch the subcutaneous cords. This allows the patient to lift the arm and be able to receive radiation therapy. AWS is self-limiting and often resolves spontaneously. It is very important that the patient perform a prescribed home stretching exercise program several times throughout the day.

McKinney City Council member Brooks will not seek re-election
Photo courtesy of city of McKinney - McKinney City Councilman David Brooks, elected to an at-large seat in 2009, announced Tuesday he will not seek a second term in May.
By Chris Beattie, email@example.com
McKinney City Council member David Brooks announced Tuesday he will not seek re-election this May.
Brooks, elected to one of two at-large seats in 2009, made the announcement at the end of the City Council's regular meeting. He vied to finish the remaining four months of his term to the best of his ability.
"I do live in the greatest city, I think, in the country, and I've been happy to be a part of leadership here for a short period," Brooks said. "I look forward to good things ahead."
Though spending a relatively short time on the council, Brooks previously served five years as president of the McKinney ISD Board of Trustees and three years on the McKinney Economic Development Corporation and the McKinney Chamber of Commerce board.
With a bachelor's and master's degree from Baylor University, he was chief financial officer at his alma mater from 2000 to 2004. He is a former Rotary Club president and former United Way of Collin County board member.
Brooks founded Crosspoint Church in McKinney and serves as chairman of the board for Noel-Levitz, Inc., a national higher education company.
Mayor Pro Tem Travis Ussery, sitting next to Brooks as he does at most council meetings, applauded Brooks for his job on the City Council.
"You do nothing but the best whenever you come to work," Ussery told Brooks. "I know it and I appreciate it."
In November 2011, through a city charter amendment election, McKinney voters chose to extend City Council terms from three to four years so that the city would be in an odd-year election cycle - elections every two years and in line with Collin County elections.
Ussery, Council member Don Day and Mayor Brian Loughmiller, all elected to their seats in 2009, are up for re-election. In recent months, all three announced to the public they would seek re-election.
Council members Geralyn Kever and Ray Ricchi, elected in 2008, were re-elected to their seats in 2011. Newest Council member Roger Harris was elected in 2011. They will each be up for re-election in 2015.
The month-long filing period for this year's election begins Jan. 30. Election Day is May 11.
