Their big screen adventure
A small team is tackling a big job for Iowa State this winter: restoring and cleaning the stage curtain in the university's Stephens Auditorium. Even under a half inch of dust, it's a magnificent piece of art at 2,800 pounds. And, after 45 years and nearly 3,500 performances, oh the stories it could tell ...
Last spring, as she was finishing up a master's degree in apparel merchandising and design, Kate Greder assisted behind the scenes to figure out what the restoration project should include and how to get it done. She later signed on to lead the work for University Museums.
"In textile conservation, the opportunity to work on a piece of this magnitude is rare," she said.
Greder is assisted by senior intern Amy Lowery, who jumped in when a request for volunteers arose during her museums class last fall. Lowery, who graduates this May in anthropology and biology, is applying to graduate programs in museum studies.
"I'm interested in a career in conservation. This is great experience to gain before I leave Iowa State," she said.
Before starting on the front of the curtain, the team replaced the rod pocket near its lower edge and cleaned the back lining. A future phase could include mechanizing the raising and lowering of the curtain. That's right; it's been ropes, pulleys and determination doing it the last 45 years.
Armed with a few tools -- brushes, microfiber cloths, water and a conservation vacuum -- they're hand cleaning the front side of the curtain. Some days they work through as much as 20 square feet, some days as little as three.
Claire Kruesel joins them when she can. Kruesel, who expects to complete a master's degree in creative writing and the environment next year, said the curtain project let her combine her love for "Iowa State, art stewardship and subtly persuasive journalism." She combed university archives to recount the curtain's history -- back to a loom in Kyoto, Japan -- and has developed various texts about the restoration project.
"As an Iowa State choir member for 11 years, I've been part of performances at Stephens -- and each time the curtain mesmerized me," she said.

Today Is The 46th Anniversary Of Jimi Hendrix Experience's Live Debut. [VIDEO]
The Jimi Hendrix Experience made their live debut 46 years ago this week with four dates in France.
Upon his arrival in England, the guitarist's manager, former Animals bassist Chas Chandler, introduced Hendrix to drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding, the duo who would become the Experience. After only a week of rehearsals, Chandler put the band on the road supporting French singer Johnny Hallyday.
The opening date was at the Novelty in Evreux, France on October 13, 1966 and the trek wound up on the 18th at the Olympia Theater in Paris. Also on the bill were Long Chris, The Blackbirds and for the final date, the Brian Auger Trinity. Less than a week later, the Experience would make their debut in the UK.
Their opening night set was short, but sweet, and included 'In The Midnight Hour,' 'Have Mercy,' 'Land of a Thousand Dances,' and 'Hey Joe.' In his autobiography, 'Inside The Experience,' Mitchell recalled the changes that took over Hendrix once he got onstage: "It was on this first gig that we saw the whole other person, completely different from anything I'd seen before" he said. "I knew he played really tasty guitar, but I didn't know about the showmanship that went with it. It was like, Whoosh! This man is really out-front!"

For the first time ever DMT® has created a Extra Extra Fine Diamond Stone. Previously the smallest diamond particle available was 9 microns (which is very small). This stone features a much smaller 3 micron particle size, this grit size compares to an 8000 grit stone. This allows the stone to leave the finest finish of any diamond stone we have ever seen. Do not confuse this with our other diamond stones; this stone will not cut aggressively and is used only in creating that perfect razor sharp edge after you've worked your edge to near perfection on an extra fine stone. If you do not have another stone that is fine, (ideally extra fine) do not purchase this stone because it will not sharpen a dull tool.
This stone is in the Dia-Sharp® line of DMT® diamond stones and features a continuous diamond surface attached to heavy-duty nickel and steel backed surface. This diamond stone measures 8" long and 3" wide. The size is plenty large for sharpening most tools and knives. Includes four rubber feet to keep the stone in place during sharpening.
Use with water only - no oil needed. Made in the USA.

Anticipation filled the room as Troup County School System employees and friends gathered for the annual Teacher of the Year reception at Del'Avant Event Center. In the end, the honor was given to Kayla Yeargin, a ninth grade Accelerated Algebra I and Algebra I teacher at Troup County Comprehensive High School.
When entering Yeargin's classroom, one can feel the warmth and open environment she has built with her students. They freely come to her with questions and enjoy the relevant lessons that she provides to help them learn about advanced mathematical concepts.
On the day when out-of-system judges observed Yeargin, students teamed in pairs of two and while using Chromebooks, played each other in pool. The object of the lesson was more than a game, it was for her students to win using mathematical reasoning.

Clyde was a farmer first, and later became a cobbler. He and Julia purchased a winter home from his brother, William Russell Roesch, in Eau Gallie, Florida. The home sat on Highland Avenue. Even their father, Philip, bought a winter home here and the homes sat three in a row. The three of them often went fishing in the Indian River together. Clyde was known as the champion fisherman.
|1881 - 1961
A little girl by the name of Leslie Louthain was walking home from school. She saw Clyde Roesch sitting on a bench. There was blood coming out of his ear. She asked "Are you okay"? Clyde just smiled at her. Leslie went home and told her mother, "Something is wrong with Mr. Roesch". Her mother went to check on Clyde and then she called the ambulance. Clyde had fallen from a ladder at his home while hanging his storm windows. He later died at the hospital from his injuries on Oct 23, 1961 at the age of 80.

Sure, cute animals or Tosh.0-type freak shows are always popular on YouTube, but in an era when we can thank Glee for inspiring kids of all ages to get into musical extracurriculars, there's almost always a brand new truly amazing viral video to be watched. A video in which real kids with real talent are making real music. And they pretty much blow your minds.
Almost a year ago, we were treated to a kids' chorus covering Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory." Now, a video of the Impulse Handbell Ensemble, a group of high school students from the Morganville, New Jersey area, covering Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," has hit the web and it's equally as awe-inspiring. And not just because it's not every day that you see a handbell choir perform! Check it out ...
Wow, right? Not only are these kids obviously so dedicated to what they do, but they enjoy it as well. And it shows! I also have to give them props for being pretty brave to take on "Rolling in the Deep," of all hits. As they say on The Voice, anyone who opts to cover Adele is generally setting themselves up for a rough critique, but not these teens. In fact, I'd venture to guess that if Adele herself saw this video, the new mom would be psyched to "sing" their praises.
How cool is this performance?

With the Thanksgiving travel days now past, Delta Air Lines is following through with further cuts in air service at Memphis International Airport, reducing its number of flights to approximately 40 a day.
The 24 daily flight cuts, which begin Tuesday, Dec. 3, were announced by the Atlanta-based air carrier in October. With it, Delta executives also announced the first job cuts at its Memphis airline operations since it dehubbed Memphis International Airport earlier this year. The 126 jobs included closing a flight attendant center at Memphis.
The Delta cuts over the past two years have been so significant that origin and destination air traffic, not connecting flights, now comprise the majority of flights into and out of Memphis. Before the Northwest Airlines-Delta Air Lines merger in 2008 and in the early years of the merger, the majority of passenger traffic was connecting flights.

The winners are Ben Butler, Mary Jo Karimnia, Susan Maakestad, Brandon Marshall, and Terri Phillips. Each artist will receive a $3,000 ArtsAccelerator grant, and all projects will be completed by August 2014.
ArtsAccelerator grants are designed as incentive grants for the visual arts to help local artists offset expenses.
Arkansas finance officials are releasing the general revenue forecast for the coming fiscal year ahead of next year's legislative session.
The Legislature convenes in February for a session devoted to the state's budget. On Monday, the Department of Finance and Administration released its official general revenue forecast for the coming fiscal year, along with an update for the current fiscal year.
The agency says net available revenues in the 2015 fiscal year are expected to increase by about 2 percent compared to the forecast for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. The agency also revised its forecast for the current fiscal year down .3 percent compared to its previous forecast.
Gov. Mike Beebe said Monday that the latest numbers reflect slow growth.

U.S. developers boosted construction spending in October at the fastest pace in more than four years, propelled by a surge in government projects. But spending on home construction and commercial projects both fell.
Overall construction spending increased 0.8 percent in October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $908.4 billion, the Labor Department said Monday. That's up from September, when spending fell 0.3 percent.
The October pace was the best since May 2009 and was driven by a 3.9 percent surge in public spending. Federal spending increased 10.9 percent, suggesting the 16-day partial government shutdown had little impact on public projects.
Spending on state and local government construction also rose. One troubling sign: Home construction fell 0.6 percent in October from September, dragged lower by a drop in single-family homes.
But spending on home construction has surged 17.8 percent in the past 12 months, the fastest year-over-year pace since the peak of the 2008 financial crisis. And a recent jump in permits to build apartments indicates that will continue.
Deutsche Bank chief U.S. economist Joseph Lavorgna said that spending on single-family houses should rebound given plans by homebuilders to ramp up construction.
"The recent dip should reverse course given the ongoing improvement in permits for new construction," Lavorgna said in a client note.
Nonresidential spending fell 0.5 percent in October from September, lowered by declines in the building of private power plants, communication facilities and amusement parks and recreation centers. Construction of office buildings, hotels and private schools all increased.
The decline in home construction in October may prove temporary. Permits issued to build apartments increased in October at their fastest pace in more than five years. But permits for single-family home construction rose only slightly and were at the same pace as in May.

There's No Place Like Home
We've all heard Dorothy's famous line from The Wizard of Oz, "there's no place like home." For me, that single line could easily be identified as the single biggest reason I was so nervous about going to college - I was afraid that I be incredibly homesick because, no matter how much I thought I liked the school I picked, it would never feel the same as home. Now, four years later, I realize that I was wrong.
My favorite thing about William Woods is the family feel of the school, hands down. Thanks to the smaller size of the school, the faculty, staff, and students all have a chance to get to know each other on a much closer basis than we would have at a large school. Here, the teachers know if you miss class... and they will ask the students who do make it if they know why you're not there! True, part of the reason they ask is so they can know whether or not the absense should be excused, but they also genuinely want to be sure that the absent student is okay.
Everyone always comments on how close they are to their teachers here at William Woods, but I think the rest of the faculty and staff deserve special mention, too. Literally everyone who works on this campus recognizes you. There are two ladies that work in Tucker dining hall who always come see the plays on campus, so every time I come into Tucker they ask me for an update on rehearsals. I'm on a friendly, first-name basis with many of the people who work in the Office of Student Life, too. I actually went to lunch this last week with Debbie Schick, the lady in charge of coordinating and overseeing the LEAD program. There are professors I have not had a class with since my freshman year, but who still remember my name and stop to say hi when we pass each other on the sidewalk. I don't think I could ever fully express how much I love the environment here at The Woods!
While it is true that no university will ever feel the same as the home you grew up in, I strongly believe that the college you choose can feel like home, too. My teachers, my classmates, my bosses on campus, the theatre department, and my sorority sisters, and all my other friends on campus have all banded together to create a home away from home that I know I will miss terribly after I graduate. Dorothy may have been right, but she forgot to include another important element. There is no place like home (away from home)!

Hotéis em Silkeborg
The holiday paradise of Silkeborg enjoys a stunning location in Denmark's largest lake district. Centrally housed in a former paper factory, the Radisson Blu Hotel combines historic architecture with beautiful Scandinavian interiors. Surrounded by forests and lakes, the hotel is a wonderful base for sailing on the world's oldest coal burning paddle steamer, enjoying the Riverboat Jazz Festival or exploring impressive Silkeborg Art Museum.
Along with the Paper Factory came many other businesses and the city flourished. Enjoy a stroll through the city centre and see the many distinctive buildings designed by architect Anton Rosen, who worked in Silkeborg until his death in 1928.
When the Paper Factory closed down in 2000, the city had grown into a thriving centre of trade and manufacturing with over 40,000 inhabitants. Today, the Paper Factory area has been turned into an active centre for business and culture. You will quickly sense that art and culture play an important role in Silkeborg, especially because of the now world famous painter and artist, Asger Jorn, who grew up in the city.
If you visit the Cultural Centre Silkeborg Bad, you will, in addition to changing exhibitions of contemporary art, find a small permanent exhibition on the history of the place. Silkeborg Bad opened as an exclusive spa facility in 1883, and for many years it was a popular destination for the city's residents. During World War II, it was taken over by the German Wehrmacht and used as headquarters, and after the war it was used several times as a refugee camp until the municipality bought the buildings in 1992 and turned them into what is now the Art Centre Silkeborg Bad.
However, the city's scenic location in the highland by Gudenåen and the Silkeborg lakes in Denmark's largest forest area is one of Silkeborg's major attractions and a daily joy for the city's residents as well as the many tourists who come to enjoy nature, visit Himmelbjerget, go sailing and enjoy the many opportunities for sport and leisure activities.
If you are in Silkeborg on a Saturday, we recommend visiting the market on the square, where the area's local producers sell fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, crafts and other local specialties.
A visit to the many farm shops in the area is also a must. Here the emphasis is on organic produce, taste and animal welfare. You can also visit the many workshops, galleries and microbreweries in the region.
You can also go on a trip with Hjejlen, the world's oldest paddle steamer, which sails daily from Silkeborg to Himmelbjerget throughout the summer. A true three-in-one experience.
When in Silkeborg, a visit to Museum Jorn a little outside of town is a must. Asger Jorn grew up in Silkeborg, and although he lived many years of his life in Paris, he maintained a connection to Silkeborg. Museum Jorn houses both a unique collection of Asger Jorn's own works, which he donated to the museum over the years, but also his private collection of Danish and international art.
The Paper Museum shares address with the Radisson Blu Hotel Papirfabrikken, so it would be obvious to take a look inside and see how they made paper. Perhaps you will leave with your own, handmade stationery.
The city's oldest building, Silkeborg Manor from 1767, is now home to Museum Silkeborg. Here you can experience how people lived through the ages, from antiquity to the present. The museum's main attraction is the unique and incredibly well-preserved Tollund Man, who died approximately 400 years BC, as well as the lesser known Elling Woman.
At the Art Centre Silkeborg Bad on the outskirts of the city you will find changing exhibitions of contemporary art. In addition, there is a permanent exhibition, which covers the period as a spa, and a number of interesting sculptures can been enjoyed in the surrounding park.
The children will love AQUA Aquarium and Zoo. Here they can experience the Danish wildlife at close range in the impressive freshwater aquarium as well as the animal park with beavers, raccoons and many other animals. Afterwards, they can have fun at the water park and wilderness path.
There is so much to see and do, so maybe you should stay an extra day or two?
It is also the city of good taste, whether you like delicious sausages, quality meals at a traditional Danish inn or truffles. You should definitely treat yourself to an evening at one of the city's gourmet restaurants, where your taste buds will be treated to the region's quality raw ingredients. Perhaps at Michael D at the Radisson Blu Hotel Papirfabrikken?
If you just feel like a caffè latte or a light meal, then sit down at one of the city's cafés – you will find them on the pedestrian streets, along Gudenåen and at the museums.
In the surrounding area there are several cosy inns – some serve classic Danish dishes, while others offer fine dining. The packed lunch houses offer a unique experience as you can enjoy lunch in the countryside, in the forest or overlooking the water. However, you must bring your own lunch. And since Silkeborg is also the city of festivals, there is obviously an annual food festival and a wine festival. Separately, of course, but you really shouldn't miss out on a festival!
If you feel like dancing through the night, you can do so at the city's nightclubs.
The year's recurring events include the harvest market, the car rally Automania, where both sports cars and vintage cars participate, Tour de Gudenå, which starts in Silkeborg and ends in Randers – or however far you get in a canoe in one day, as there are many opportunities for pit stops along the way – and the Himmelbjerg race which, as the name suggests, is a 'mountain race' and therefore quite strenuous.
Finally, in 2014 – which is the centenary of Asger Jorn's birth – the artist will be honoured with exhibitions, workshops, concerts, lectures and much more.

In 1941, more than 250,000 Filipino soldiers responded to President Roosevelt's call-to-arms and later fought under the American flag during World War II. Many made the ultimate sacrifice as both soldiers in the U.S. Army Forces in the Far East and as guerilla fighters during the Imperial Japanese occupation of the Philippines. Later, many of these brave individuals became proud United States citizens. For over 60 years, Filipino veterans and community advocates have fought to obtain compensation for those who served with American soldiers during World War II.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which the President signed into law, contained a provision creating the Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund. Eligible veterans who are U.S. citizens receive a one-time payment of $15,000; eligible veterans who are not U.S. citizens receive a one-time payment of $9,000. The Department of Veterans Affairs established a process, in collaboration with the Department of Defense, to determine eligibility to receive payments from the Fund.
To date, over 18,000 claims have been approved. Many Filipino veterans may have been impeded from filing claims or believe their claims were improperly denied.
The Department of Veterans Affairs maintains the latest statistics on the Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund at this link.
Interagency Working Group
Boots Nike NJR 407 MercurialX Ic Vctry Football Black Kids' Unisex 6 Multicolour Racer Blue Jr chr To address their concerns, the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, in collaboration with the Office of Management and Budget, has launched an Interagency Working Group comprised of officials from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, and the National Archives and Record Administration (NARA).
Read more about the Interagency Working group here.
Through the work of the Interagency Working group, the National Archives and Record Administration recently released a document that details the creation of the official Department of the Army Filipino Guerilla list. It was declassified in 1988 and is entitled, "U.S. Army Recognition Program of Philippine Guerrillas". The report is available here.
This document details the creation by the U.S. Army in 1948 of the official Guerilla list that is being used to verify valid service for the FVEC. This is the first time that this invaluable historical document has been available to the general public.
The National Archives and Record Administration also released the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) manual entitled "General Background and Miscellaneous Correspondence Procedures Unique to the Philippine Army Records". This manual details the processing procedures that the NPRC uses to determine service in the Philippine Commonwealth Army of the United States Armed Forces Far East (USAFFE), or recognized Guerrilla forces in World War II. The manual is available here.

The National Archives and Record Administration maintains the Philippine Archives Collection at NARA's facility in College Park, Maryland. The Philippine Archives Collection is an extensive collection of Filipino World War II records including personal histories and diaries; unit histories; medical and death reports; documents on activities within guerrilla units and criminal behavior by guerrillas; applications for pay and benefits based on military or civilian service; claims by civilians who were pressed into service to repel the Japanese invasion; and claims for compensation by former guerrillas based on their support of the U.S. effort in the Philippines. The collection is open to the public. Armance 118 Vita Gris Laura Boots Women's Grau qAOv8wSg.
Methods to obtain Filipino World War II Records
Generally, U.S. military records for veterans are obtained by submitting a SF-180 form.
Vctry NJR 6 Football Multicolour Racer chr Jr Blue Unisex 407 MercurialX Ic Boots Black Kids' Nike However, the majority of Filipino World War II veterans will not be able to obtain records using this method, unless the veteran was member of the Regular, or "Old," Philippine Scouts. Regular Philippine Scouts, or "old scouts," were part of the U.S. Army throughout their existence.
Most Filipino World War II veterans will find their records, if available, in the Philippine Archives Collection at Giardini Bordo Prince A719371d Nero Moccasins Women's Marrone fdxqz7Cw in College Park, Maryland.

Chiropractor Tips
1.When working at the computer sit with knees at a 90- to 120-degree angle. Using an angled foot rest may help.
2.Make sure your chair fits correctly. Allow for 2 inches between the front edge of the seat and the back of the knees. Knees should be at or below the level of the hips.
3.When lifting heavy or awkward items, bend the hips and knees, then squat to pick up the object. Keep the back straight and hold the item close to the body. Don't twist.
4.Take frequent breaks and stretch if you sit for long periods of time.
5.Exercise regularly. Staying physically fit helps avoid back injuries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of education and training do chiropractors have?
Doctors of chiropracticare educated as primary-contact health care providers, with an emphasis on diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the musculoskeletal system (the muscles, ligaments and joints of the spine and extremities) and the nerves that supply them. Educational requirements for doctors of chiropractic are among the most stringent of any of the health care professions.
The typical applicant for chiropractic college has already acquired nearly four years of pre-medical undergraduate college education, including courses in biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, psychology and related lab work. Once accepted into an accredited chiropractic college, the requirements become even more demanding — four to five academic years of professional study are the stan
dard. Doctors of chiropractic are educated in orthopedics, neurology, physiology, human anatomy, clinical diagnosis including laboratory procedures, diagnostic imaging, exercise, nutrition rehabilitation and more.
Because chiropractic care includes highly skilled manipulation/adjusting techniques, a significant portion of time is spent in clinical technique training to master these important manipulative procedures.
In total, the chiropractic college curriculum includes a minimum of 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience. The course of study is approved by an accrediting agency that is fully recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
What conditions do chiropractors treat?
Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) care for patients of all ages, with a variety of health conditions. DCs are especially well known for their expertise in caring for patients with back pain, neck pain and headaches...particularly with their highly skilled manipulations or chiropractic adjustments. They also care for patients with a wide range of injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, involving the muscles, ligaments and joints. These painful conditions often involve or impact the nervous system, which can cause referred pain and dysfunction distant to the region of injury. The benefits of chiropractic care extend to general health issues, as well, since their body structure affects their overall function. DCs also counsel patients on diet, nutrition, exercise, healthy habits, and occupational and lifestyle modification.
Is chiropractic treatment appropriate for children?
Yes, children can benefit from chiropractic care. Children are very physically active and experience many types of falls and blows from activities of daily living as well as from participating in sports. Injuries such as these may cause many symptoms including back and neck pain, stiffness, soreness or discomfort. Chiropractic care is always adapted to the individual patient. It is a highly skilled treatment, and in the case of children, very gentle.
Do insurance plans cover chiropractic?
Yes. Chiropractic care is included in most health insurance plans, including major medical plans, workers' compensation, Medicare, some Medicaid plans, and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans for federal employees, among others. Chiropractic care is also available to active-duty members of the armed forces at more than 60 military bases and is available to veterans at 36 major veterans medical facilities.
How is a chiropractic adjustment performed?
Chiropractic adjustment or manipulation is a manual procedure that utilizes the highly refined skills developed during the doctor of chiropractic's intensive years of chiropractic education. The chiropractic physician typically uses his or her hands--or an instrument--to manipulate the joints of the body, particularly the spine, in order to restore or enhance joint function. This often helps resolve joint inflammation and reduces the patient's pain. Chiropractic manipulation is a highly controlled procedure that rarely causes discomfort. The chiropractor adapts the procedure to meet the specific needs of each patient. Patients often note positive changes in their symptoms immediately following treatment.
Does chiropractic treatment require a referral from an MD?
A referral is usually not needed to see a doctor of chiropractic (DC); however, your health plan may have specific referral requirements. You may want to contact your employer's human resources department—or the insurance plan directly—to find out if there are any referral requirements. Most plans allow you to just call and schedule an appointment with a DC.

I took Gunnar for another session of puppy socialization with the Devicers' yesterday, and got caught up in an adventure beyond anything I had anticipated. The session of tromping around with a couple of adult dogs who are not Hudson was great fun for him, and he got another good lesson on how to act around cats to avoid conflicts, something he's got good instincts for already. The ride up, however, was a smorgasbord of bodily functions, as shortly after embarking (which indeed involved a lot of barking), I got presented with a stinky poo and a puddle, both of which were probably intentional, provoked by irritation at being tethered safely (but alone) in the back. I cleaned up and relented on the safe approach for the ride by letting him free, and about a half-hour from our destination, he thanked me by getting carsick in my lap (yum!). After puppy play and puke cleaning, it was time to return, which is when something in the truck fritzed, and now my dash lights are out. Trying to find a blown fuse bore no fruit, so I got to drive home in the dark guessing about my speed, as it was almost impossible to see the gauges even with the interior lights on. I'm guessing the couple of state troopers I passed along the way were tempted to stop me out of curiosity after seeing me slow to what was probably 20 MPH below the limit after spotting them. Vroom!

ST. PETERSBURG — The mud oozing from Spa Beach Park on Sunday was practically inescapable. From the parking lot to the Pier sidewalk, the park was transformed into a pit of sand and dirt — a perfect playground for about 1,500 respected parents and professionals.
"Doesn't everyone like to get dirty? We're all a little dirty," said Jeremiah Lindsey, an employee with National Asset Protection Agency who turned his coworkers into the "mudaholics" for the fifth-annual America II Extreme Mud Wars.
The mud-slinging combat is the adult version of the city-run teen mud wars, put on since the 1990s by TASCO, St. Petersburg's Teen Arts Sports and Cultural Opportunities program. Tampa Bay Club Sport, an adult sports league based in Tampa, joined forces with TASCO and America II Electronics to let adults in on the fun.
Proceeds from beer sales and team registration fees benefit three St. Petersburg-based charities — TASCO, the non-profit Hands 4 Hope and the Secrets of the Sea Aquarium, the former Pier Aquarium.
"This event is crucial, not just for the money we bring in but the connections we make with people in the community," said Harris Ambush, Hands 4 Hope Director. "We always get people asking how they can help us or offering to volunteer, and that's really priceless."
The event has sold out each year with 48 teams each day, 96 teams for the weekend and about 1,500 participants 18 and older.
It's Tampa Bay Club Sport's largest charity event of the year. About 60 volunteers from the city of St. Pete and TASCO hand-filled about 3,500 sandbags and transported about 10 tons worth of dirt, purchased from local companies for about $7,000, to wet down with eight fire hoses. So far, the event has raised about $20,000 for charities and this year's event should bring in another $7,000 to $8,000.
For Hands 4 Hope, that means more money to send aid overseas and fund local after school enrichment programs for kids, such as tutoring, gardening and yoga classes that "helps kids learn another outlet other than anger and violence so they can self soothe," Ambush said. TASCO and the aquarium also use the funds for educational programs for local kids.
The mud war was split into 8 events, including tug of war, jousting, dodgeball and a two-story tall inflatable slide that emptied into an obstacle course, requiring participants to climb over walls, jump through tires and crawl under nets.
Even though Ryan Bucher greased up with mud for "Belly Bumpers" — essentially sumo wrestling with inner tubes — it wasn't enough to save him from getting bumped, falling face first into the goo and then bouncing back up and rolling around for another fall on his backside.
"I came here to get muddy. So far, I'm off to a good start," said Bucher, a member of the Morton McMuddy team made up of his wife's coworkers at Morton Plant Mease Hospital in Clearwater.
Prizes ranging from rainbow-colored Southern Comfort sunglasses to a free stay at Sirata Beach Resort add to the excitement. But the biggest draw is a chance to goof off with friends while giving back to the community, said Tampa Bay Club Sport owner Chris Giebner. You never know who you will meet at one of the adult athletic events, Giebner said. When he first joined the group, Giebner met his future wife on his adult soccer team.
And for families like Gabrielle Bunn and her three year old twin boys Audric and Maddox, who were covered in mud from head to toe, the day was simply good fun.
Bob Valenti, former director of TASCO, grew up with fond memories of mud-based competitions with other neighborhood kids in St. Petersburg's city-run youth programs, and it was always his dream to reinvigorate the tradition on a larger-than-life scale. The Extreme Mud War is his brainchild, and a great example of the good that can be accomplished when cities and local organizations partner together to encourage others to give back to a good cause, he said.
"Back then no one got hurt, everybody had a good time and didn't worry about getting dirty," Valenti said. "It wasn't about winning, because you just got a little trophy, it was about running through the mud on a hot summer day. Adults are all little kids at heart. We never grow up."

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will push to tighten gun laws in response to last week's schoolhouse massacre in Connecticut, Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday, and Speaker John Boehner said the GOP-controlled House would consider the proposals.
Biden, who is overseeing the administration's response to Friday's killing of 20 children and six adults at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school, said he and President Barack Obama are "absolutely committed" to curbing gun violence in the United States.
"Even if we can only save one life, we have to take action," he said.
A longtime gun-control advocate, Biden met Thursday with Cabinet members and law enforcement officials from around the country. He said he wanted to meet with the group, which included representatives of at least a dozen law enforcement organizations, because they "know better than anyone else what's needed out there."
Police chiefs helped develop innovations such as community policing and drug courts, Biden said, and they have a comprehensive view of how to approach gun violence.
Gun-control measures have faced fierce resistance in Congress for years, but that may be changing because of the events in Connecticut, which shocked that nation. After the shooting, Obama signaled for the first time that he's willing to spend significant political capital on the issue. Some prominent gun-rights advocates on Capitol Hill — Democrats and Republicans alike — have expressed willingness to consider new measures.
Asked if he would allow a vote next year on gun-control legislation, Boehner, R-Ohio, said he and his caucus "join the president in mourning the victims of the horrible tragedy in Connecticut."
When Biden's recommendations come forward, Boehner said: 'We'll certainly take them into consideration."
Obama on Wednesday tapped Biden to lead an informal task force on gun violence and set a January deadline for the recommendations. The group is considering changes such as reinstating a ban on military-style assault weapons, closing loopholes that let gun buyers skirt background checks and restricting high-capacity ammunition clips.
Beyond firearms' restrictions, officials also will look for ways to increase mental health resources and consider steps to keep society from glamorizing guns and violence.
Biden said the assault weapon ban, which expired in 2004, is one thing Congress can do immediately. He pressed the police chiefs to push for such a measure.
"For anything to get done, we're going to need your advocacy," he told the group, which included representatives of the Fraternal Order of Police, International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Association of Police Organizations.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 20, 2008) - On what turned out to be a historic regular season home opener, senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) became just the second ETSU men's basketball player in program history to record a triple-double and head coach Murry Bartow picked up his 200th career win, as the Buccaneers trounced non-conference foe Wingate 96-66 Thursday night at Memorial Center.
In front of a crowd of 2,750 fans, Pigram posted game-highs with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to steal the show. He joins former ETSU guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.), who posted the program's first triple-double against Kennesaw State back in 2006. While Pigram rewrote the record books, 6-11 freshman forward Seth Coy (Montgomery, Ind.) also did his part with 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the floor and senior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) matched Pigram with 21 points to lead ETSU (2-2) to the win.
"Obviously, CP played a great game," said Bartow, who improved his head coaching record to 200-146 all-time. "Courtney played much better than he did in Charleston - really within himself. He played the way we need him to play, scoring 20 and shooting a high percentage. I thought Seth was outstanding as well. He's really becoming a crowd favorite, and it's really hard not to get too excited too quickly. We're talking about a guy that was playing junior varsity his junior year of high school. But tonight it was really a lot of fun to watch him play. He's a great kid."
The Bucs shot 60 percent from the floor for the game, and held Wingate (0-2) to just 31 percent from the field. ETSU out-rebounded the Bulldogs 45-33, and forced 20 turnovers, while shooting a strong 78 percent (21-of-27) from the foul line.
Despite the solid numbers, the game did not start well for the Bucs, as Wingate hit a pair of 3-pointers early to take an eight-point lead at 12-4. However, from there the Bucs went to the "12-feet and in" offense, slashing to the basket and finding Coy in the middle of the paint for point-blank shots. The result was a nine-minute stretch of action that saw the Bucs outscore Wingate 33-13 and take a 37-25 lead with five minutes left in the half.
The first half ended with ETSU leading 43-31, and the Bucs poured it on the second half, outscoring the Bulldogs 53-35 in the final 20 minutes to take the 30-point win, 96-66.
Along with Pigram, Smith and Coy, junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) added 12 points and four rebounds. For Wingate, Jamie Vaughn led the way with 16 points, while Kenny Villines added 10 points and seven rebounds.
The Bucs will return to action Monday evening, Nov. 24 at former Ohio Valley Conference rival Tennessee Tech in Cookeville. Game time is set for 8 p.m. (EST) and the live radio broadcast will be available on the MSHA Buccaneer Sports Network.

You Never Forget Your First Doctor
Your First Doctor Holds a Special Place in Your Heart(s)
This is a shirt in tribute to all the unsung heroes out there -- the pediatricians. We salute you. No really. That's it. No subtext or nothin. You might occasionally see this shirt at science fiction conventions. We don't know what's up with that.
We decided to make a shirt in tribute to one of the first traumatic experiences in life -- the visit to the pediatrician. It involves hanging out in waiting rooms with sick kids, toys you're not allowed to play with because other sick kids have been touching them, and an oversized children's Bible as the only reading material for folks under 3 feet tall. When you finally see the pediatrician, he does something to distract you so he can give you a shot, and all you get in return is a lollipop. Not a fair trade.
Our 100% cotton black shirt features the phrase "You Never Forget Your First Doctor" under an inexplicable picture of an old-style British police phone box with a white starburst behind it. We have no idea what's going on with that.

My friend writes, "I love cycling photography, but its scope tends to be a bit narrow: pro racers riding fast on bikes; heroic suffering; the peloton gliding through beautiful scenery - and so on. But that's not what cycling is like for most ordinary cyclists - it's far more modest than that. It's about chatting in cafes, repairing punctures by the side of the road, cleaning your bike, drying your wet shoes on the radiator, waiting to start a time trial on a cold March morning, falling into a grass verge, finishing in the peloton in a cat 3 race, milling about bike shops, commuting to work, hacking through the woods on your mountain bike while a bit drunk, the club dinner dance, marshalling the club road race, putting on numbers for the first time, learning to ride with cleats - and so on and so on. It's all these small things we associate with riding that collectively make up cycling culture for the majority of us. That's what I want to capture."

Rodgers preparing for life without Coutinho
Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Liverpool will be without Philippe Coutinho for at least six weeks after he underwent shoulder surgery.
The Brazilian playmaker went off injured during the Premier League leaders' 2-2 draw at Swansea City on Monday, and manager Rodgers admitted this is a blow as he looks to maintain his side's spot at the top of the table.
Coutinho has impressed since arriving at Anfield from Inter in January, and has linked well with in-form striker Daniel Sturridge to fill the void left by Luis Suarez's suspension at the start of this campaign.
However, after having surgery on Thursday, Rodgers expects the 21-year-old to be unavailable until the end of October.
"He's only just having it today so the timescale from the medics is obviously up to six weeks," he said. "We wouldn't anticipate any sooner than that. It's unfortunate for him because he's been in great form since he came here in January.
"Hopefully we'll get him back sooner rather than later and then he can come into the group again.
"It was one where it was more the fall than the challenge. The challenge was probably a bit clumsy but it was actually more the fall that did the damage.
"In those scenarios the bone may be bruised but unfortunately for Philippe the bone came through the muscle. That's what the pain was and why the operation was needed.
"It's unfortunate because he was a really pivotal player for us in the game. When he went, we lost that connection between our midfield and the front line; it disrupted our balance a bit."
However, more positive news on the injury front for the Liverpool boss is the fitness of Daniel Agger, who may be able to return to the squad for Saturday's clash with Southampton after missing the trip to Swansea with a side strain.
"We'll see how he is in the next 24 hours," Rodgers added. "It's too early to say if he'll be ready for the weekend or not.
"It was just unfortunate it happened the day before the game. We're hopeful he'll be fine by the weekend."

I'm wondering if iceburg lettuce is the best choice for salads. Nutritionally I know that it has very little. but is romane that much better. I dont have a garden, so I dont have acess to a leaf lettuce. Thanks for any help you can give….
Your best bet would be to think variety when planning salads. Iceberg lettuce provides fiber and many people like the taste in a salad. Adding other vegetables to any salad, such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, raw broccoli, carrots, etc. will increase the nutritional value. Any vegetables that you like work, and fruits do too! It's also good to eat salads made from other kinds of greens, including romaine. You can also add raw spinach to salads for flavor and nutrition. Leafy lettuces, such as red leaf, Bibb, and mesclun greens can usually be found in the produce section of the grocery store, and at some Farmer's markets in the spring, summer and early fall. Also, pre-packaged salad mixes at the grocery store come in a variety of different lettuces.

Merry Christmas! & I'm off!
We had a great dinner last night. I usually do a lot of cooking for family festivities, but since I am getting ready to leave tomorrow morning for India, my family covered for me. This is my delicious plate of food! My aunt Laura made some scrumptious green enchiladas (bottom,... it sorta got ripped up), there was some delicious vegan stuffing (thanks mom!), mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce (not pictured), roasted brussel sprouts, & roasted butternut squash. YUM.
I did make dessert, although I didn't photograph it. I made the delicious, quick, and gorgeous Cranberry-Orange Tart from Voluptuous Vegan. It was a big hit.
This morning we gathered at my mom's house for a nice waffle breakfast... this has become a little mini-tradition for my mom & dad & Musty & me. This year my aunt Laura and my grandpa came too, and everyone was totally down with having the waffles be vegan and using Earth Balance instead of butter. How cool! After the waffles, my brother & his family came over & we opened a fun and modest little selection of gifts. Speaking of which...
Check out what my mom got me! A brand-new family-sized waffle iron at the thrift store for only $3.25!!! Score! Thanks mom! We used it, alongside her old trustworthy one, this morning and it works perfectly. I'm psyched. I have a little mini, one-person waffle iron and it's just such slow going trying to make waffles for musty and myself with that little guy. Now, with this bigger one I'll definitely be more interested in waffle making. FUN!
Well, tomorrow at 4 am I'm off for 5 1/2 weeks in India. I'll be studying yoga at the Iyengar Institute in Pune. I'll be blogging here about my foodie adventures, whenever possible.... but I'll be keeping a more general blog about my trip here:
In case you're interested!
Merry Christmas!

Awesome waffles. And how cool of your family to pitch in and make vegan dishes since you were busy packing!ReplyDelete
Hope you have an awesome time in India!
aww, how lovely that your family did the cooking this year - it's nice to get a break once in a while :0)ReplyDelete
wow, look at the contents of that dinner plate!! yum!! and that cranberry-orange tart sounds delish!!
what a fantastic "new" waffle iron - great find, for sure!! and perfect for your family waffle-breakfasts :0)
have an amazing time in India!! what fun!! looking forward to your return to the blogging world!!
have fun in India!ReplyDelete
How nice! I will be interested in your India trip. :-)ReplyDelete
We got your cookbook and I've already made two things from it: Tofu Ricotta and Star Anise Glazed Tempeh. Russell LOVVVEEEDD the tempeh, which is saying a lot because the whole time I was thinking it'd be too sweet for his tastes. Absolutely adored it, still talking about it. :-)
One of my New Year Resolutions is to become a real yogi! More than just a little dabbing of yoga here and there, but a full-time, daily yoga practicer. I'd love to follow in your footsteps and teach someday! You're one of my role models :-D
Peace! Ruthie
Yum-- yay for vegan waffles :o)ReplyDelete

Student or Learner
Hi All,
To improve my English I started writing ever day. please correct the grammar and structure of the sentences in this small piece of English below:
Recently, I was reading an article on something about the silence. It is said in this article that we should take break off just for a day from phone, internet TV etc. I strictly went on this suggestion. I realized that I was addicted to many such things. I was tempting for on and off to check up the scraps on my face book, call up to one or other person. It was such a peaceful day and I had a plenty of time for my children to play. I found harmony with in me. I am an Indian and I could relate this day with similar to Indian fasting days. In the fasting day we are not supposed to eat food the whole day or just the fruits or some specific food. I think we need to change these fasting days for food to that for electronic gadgets.
I don't know why I don't get the answer of my questions in this forum. Are my posting having so many mistakes or some other reasons.
Thanks & Regards
thanks a lot Gillnetter.

MORE: NCAA Director of Baseball Damani Leech talks the issues
Backed by a majority of the nation's college baseball coaches, the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee voted unanimously on Tuesday for more sweeping change in the sport, opting to switch from the current raised-seam baseball to the livelier lower and flat-seamed baseball.
"The committee first became concerned about diminishing offensive numbers, particularly in the College World Series," Division I Baseball Committee chairman Dennis Farrell said. "We look at the baseball coaches as the practitioners to this sport, and we believe the flat-seam baseball would increase the offensive output we feel the sport needs."
The long-term ramifications of moving to the livelier ball are significant, though, there won't be an immediate effect. While approved by the committee, the new ball standard will not be in place for the 2014 college baseball season, and only will be mandatory by the '15 NCAA postseason — not required for the regular season portion of the schedule. It's expected most conferences will adhere to the new ball standard in time for the '15 regular season. When pressed on why the ball couldn't be implemented for the '14 campaign, the NCAA Division I Committee made two things clear: They want teams to get accustomed to the new ball next fall, and there would be a major inventory issue with a swift change.
As for the long-term effects, there are plenty of intriguing nuggets regarding the new ball to chew on between now and the implementation. For instance, the NCAA, along with Rawlings, underwent studies to determine the "drag effect" of the current college ball versus the ball that now will be used beginning in '15.
The crux of the drag effect is the longer the ball travels, the more "drag/distance" it will have. To be precise, NCAA Division I Baseball Director Damani Leech told Perfect Game a few weeks ago — following the study of the two balls — that in most instances, the drag effect of a ball increased the distance traveled by a whopping 20 feet, depending on how hard the ball is hit.
Also important and worth noting, the new ball isn't expected to increase risks for pitchers and other players. Though the drag effect comes into play on balls hit long distances, the exit velocity will remain unchanged on baseballs with only different seams. Some have proposed moving to the Minor League ball, but that would require using a ball with a greater coefficient of restitution, something the NCAA Division I Committee, at this time, isn't ready to advance.
The door on moving to the professional baseball, however, isn't closed. Next summer, the NCAA Division I Baseball Rules Committee will do a study on what changing the core to the new baseball to professional standards would do to exit velocities, and even costs. Though the costs associated with moving to a lower-seam, flat-seam version of the current ball are minimal, if any, there definitely would be an increased cost of moving to the professional ball, something many programs viewed as a concern at January's ABCA Convention.
"The rules committee [even if it is fine with a new baseball core] will probably want to review how the current change in the ball actually impacts the game first," Farrell said. "That'd probably happen before any additional actions take place [after the 2015 season]."
This vote and approval comes on the heels of much debate about power production in college baseball. The winds of change hit college baseball a couple of seasons ago when the NCAA Division I Committee opted to switch from the red-hot composite bat to the BBCOR bat, which college baseball programs currently use.
But while the BBCOR bat presents a safer alternative with decreased exit velocities, many college coaches, such as Clemson's Jack Leggett and Rice's Wayne Graham — vocally and via written letters — argued too much power production was taken out of the game with the raised-seam ball combined with the BBCOR bat. Interestingly, the tide very much turned on this debate in favor of a new ball after decreased power production in the College World Series this past June. To put this into perspective, at January's ABCA Coaches Convention, only 55-percent of head coaches supported going to a new baseball. However, in the latest ABCA survey, 87-percent of head coaches indeed were in favor of a new ball. Perhaps most surprising, when Farrell piqued interest from Big West Conference head coaches on moving to the flat-seam ball, the traditionally "pitching and defense" coaches were unanimously in favor of the change.
For Graham and a majority of college baseball coaches, Tuesday's vote by the committee indicates a major victory for those wanting to increase the excitement and production in the college game. The long-time Rice skipper believes even more can be done moving ahead.
"It's a positive step, but the reason we couldn't do it in 2014 has nothing to do with the accommodation. We just have to deal with it. The low-seam ball is definitely going to help, it's going to help the pitchers, they might get a mile or a half-mile more velocity, less blisters with more missed bullpens, etc.," Graham said. "The MLB and Minor League ball is livelier than this ball, so in my mind, the best accommodation is to go to the pro ball.
"At the end of the day, you can't take excitement out of the game if you're wanting to grow the sport. But this is a step in the right direction."
The NCAA took a significant step forward by approving these new ball measures. Now, just maybe, we'll soon start seeing more power production not only in the regular season and earlier rounds of the NCAA postseason, but most controversially, in the College World Series.
