WAYMART - "Our babies were born 36 hours apart," Courtney Krajkovich said. "I shared a room with her" after Rebecca (Mannick) Park had her little boy, Brody.
WAYMART - "Our babies were born 36 hours apart," Courtney Krajkovich said. "I shared a room with her" after Rebecca (Mannick) Park had her little boy, Brody.
Krajkovich is a long-time friend of Park, the loving mother to the five-year-old son. While raising a child can be difficult, Rebecca and her husband Kevin have faced their share of challenges.
Brody suffers from the genetic disorder Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome. He was diagnosed with the disease on May 27, 2008 at just nine months old. She says this syndrome causes "impaired speech, immobility, the need for tube feedings, gout, kidney issues, and, most devastatingly, self-injurious behavior."
To cope with this type of self-injurious behavior, Krajkovich says Brody has had to have "multiple teeth removed" to help him not hurt himself when he compulsively bites. His immobility has also become a problem.
"He can't do anything himself because of his spastic movements," she said. His erratic movements, and tendency to head bang, has caused injury to both his parents in the forms of black eyes. He also wears a helmet to protect his head and arm braces to help keep his hands away from his mouth.
Brody also needs to be repositioned every four hours each night while he sleeps to help prevent sores from developing.
"You can relate to getting up with a newborn," Krajkovich says, "but this is for the rest of his life."
While there are many challenges ahead for this happy, smiley little boy, Krajkovich wants to help make some of those less challenging.
Krajkovich and Christina Pane are the coordinators of the Home Makeover: Waymart Edition for Brody Park. Their goal is "to gather support, materials and labor for an addition" to the Park's home.
She says that while most of the labor is accounted for, they are in need of materials. A recent donation was made by Dyberry Sand and Gravel, which donated all the gravel for the foundation of the addition.
For example, taking a bath is becoming increasingly difficult in the current home. The bathroom is on the second floor, and he must be lifted in and out of a standard tub.
"It's a constant obstacle course," she said.
In the addition, there will be a handicap accessible bathroom along with a bedroom for Brody with hardwood floors built on to the first floor of the home.
"He uses a wheelchair for all his movement," she said. Aside from his wheelchair, "he loves to use his equipment." This equipment includes a stander, which supports his body. He also has some toys and tables that are made for him that are difficult to use because they currently take up too much room.
"We really want to give him a spot he could really set up to be catered to his needs."
While Brody and his loving family face daily challenges and struggles, he is very much involved in life.
He currently attends a pre-kindergarten program where he is able to socialize and interact with his peers.
"He is very interactive," she said. "He is one smart cookie."
Brody also has quite the sense of humor that manifests in the from of lovingly teasing his mother. His dad "is really great with him," and loves to take his son on outdoor activities. "He just loves fishing and hunting," she said. Another favorite activity is riding the tractor and mowing the lawn with his grandfather.
With all that Brody has facing him, Krajkowski says she knows that "she can't take the disease away, but I can make it easier for him."
If everything moves forward as planned, the groundbreaking should be sometime in June 2013. "We hope to have 90 percent of things in place by the end of May."
If you would like to donate, or get involved in building Brody a better bedroom, you can find them on Facebook at Home Makewover: Waymart Edition for Brody Park. You can also call Krajkovich at 470-0077 or Pane 229-0211. Monetary donations can be made to the "Brody Park Fund" at the Wayne Bank or may be mailed to Kathy Merring c/o The Brody Park Fund at 1233 Lake Ariel Highway, Lake Ariel PA 18436. Please make checks payable to "Brody Park Fund."
There is also a blog , www.alife4brody.com, that follows his journey to live a full life.

Fishy Story

Despite his almost allergic reaction to cushions, I think MOTH seems like a decent man.
The sight of MOTH holding a canvas bag is something to behold, Mill's ........ men just don't know how to hold a bag do they ?ReplyDelete
Well done for getting him there ...... I'm sure that all of the women there made it seem a little better for him, and there was alcohol even though it was girly Champagne !!!! XXXX
Very funny - love the confused look on his face and the bag! Surely he liked the shopping with alcohol concept? I'll always remember my father going to my hairdresser on a Thursday night once (instead of his usual barber) and finding the standard head massage and champagne very novel! xxReplyDelete
Classic! I LOVED it - highlight of the weekend I tell you. It certainly won't be the last time we ever get to giggle over a glass of champers. And MOTH? he was everything I hoped for and more. Thanks again for coming by lovely xxxxReplyDelete
You might have to start pimping him out by charging appearance fees??? Good way to get him earning some extra income ;-)ReplyDelete
Moth looks good carrying a bag... I never would have imagined him as a guy with a 'manbag'... but... I like it... :) xvReplyDelete
Seriously Millie, MOTH is the most famous husband of the world! Did he buy a cushion?ReplyDelete
The best regards
I appreciate you sharing your life with me through this blog over the past year, Millie!ReplyDelete
I hope 2013 is a happy one for you and your family!
And none will hear the postman's knock
Without a quickening of the heart.
For who can bear to feel himself forgotten?

Construction began last week to double the size of the Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage in Bergen Park, with the expanded store expected to be open by late spring 2013.
The current store, which opened in 2004, will continue to do business during construction. When completed, the expanded store will be about 16,800 square feet.
The new store will be similar to the stores being built elsewhere, said Scott Smith, a representative for Natural Grocers.

A handful of people have let me know that they thought my post about Zoe was mean-spirited. My first reaction was: Moi? Mean? But I was only having fun! And perhaps having a laugh with Zoe! You people really need to look at the world as I do. In a whimsical and laugh-filled fashion! Tra la!
But then I thought some more. People were telling me I made fun of Zoe for no good reason. And here I didn't think I was making fun of her at all. But, then, who was I making fun of? Was I really writing those emails from a place of goodwill and bonhomie?
No. No, I wasn't.
I'm annoyed by these emails. I get them constantly. Anyone who blogs gets these pitches a lot, but once the column started, they ramped up to an unmanageable degree. And every time I would respond graciously, and tell them, look, this is a personal column, I write about my kid and my painful gas, I'm not going to interview Elizabeth Banks although she sure is pretty--but the queries and pitches kept on, and keep on coming. Even now that the column is defunct (I'm only on the website now, not the print mag). So you know what? I was annoyed with Zoe. Not with her specifically, but with Zoe the symbol for every single PR person who would email me 5, 6, 20 times a day. I was.
And when I wrote that silly email, I thought she'd take the hint and not reply, but then she did, and her reply was so pleasant and yet also completely clueless, I was a little giddy and amazed. Did she know what I was up to, but choose to ignore it? Was she going to keep up this charade for as long as I did? Or did she simply not read my previous email? So I wrote the follow-up, at that point honestly and truly just trying to amuse her.
Also, I suspected she hadn't read the previous email, and I felt a little like I did in high school, when I would work on these complicated science lab reports and put all kinds of insane directions in the middle of the report, just to see if the teacher was actually reading them, and he never commented, so I ramped up the crazy for the next report, but nope, he still didn't notice, so then for the third report I just drew cartoons of a farting pig for pages and pages, and those he finally caught. So it was kind of like that.
And then I was sick with the flu and felt like I should put something up, and there you have it. Not my proudest of moments. I completely am okay with that post being a misfire for some of you. (Steph, come back!) Zoe: if you're reading this, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I made you the butt of my dumb joke.
I don't mean to, but sometimes I do venture into mean-girl territory, and it's not an area I enjoy exploring. I'm a nice person, as most of us are, but I also have a lot of anger, as most of us do, and sometimes it hits the wrong target.
Speaking of which, here's something that's been bothering me for, oh, a loong while: Jenny McCarthy. A year or so (?) ago, I was in a Momversation about autism and vaccines, and I told Jenny McCarthy to go fuck herself. I know a lot of people decided I was some kind of a folk hero for saying that, and thank you for your support, but to be honest I feel shitty about it. It's one thing to tell Andrew Wakefield where he can take a flying leap: the man consciously, purposely misled the public and wasted untold resources that were funneled into study after study on the nonexistent, fictional link between autism and vaccines. He's a worthy target. But Jenny McCarthy, misinformed as she might be, and I do know she hurt many other parents of autistic children with some of her statements--she was fighting what she fully believed to be a good fight. She was wrong, but she wasn't malicious, and didn't deserve my wrath. And I'm sorry.
And I'm sure she has better things to do with her time than watch old Momversation episodes, but nonetheless, that's been bothering me, and I wanted to get it out there.
Whew! Thank you, everyone, for keeping me honest. I love you guys.

USDA FoodKeeper App: Your Tool for Smart Food Storage
About the App
The FoodKeeper can help you use food while at peak quality and reduce waste. The storage times listed are intended as useful guidelines and are not hard-and-fast rules. Some foods may deteriorate more quickly while others may last longer than the times suggested. The times will vary depending on the growing conditions, harvesting techniques, manufacturing processes, transportation and distribution conditions, nature of the food, and storage temperatures. Remember to buy foods in reasonable quantities and rotate the products in your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer.
Every year, billions of pounds of good food go to waste in the U.S. because consumers are not sure of its quality or safety. By reducing food waste through buying appropriate quantities, storing foods properly, cooking what is needed and composting, consumers can save money and reduce the amount of food going to landfills.

Star Trek Tribble Slippers with Sound
Happy, purring feet
- Slippers for the Star Trek fan
- Tribbles purr when you walk
- One size fits most humanoids
As you know, tribbles have the pesky habit of mating constantly and reproducing at alarming rates. At ThinkGeek HQ, we had an entire office filled with tribbles from floor to ceiling and we needed to do something before the walls exploded from the furry pressure.
It turns out, if you attach two Tribbles to a pair of slippers in exactly the right orientation, they are totally happy and lose all desire to reproduce. (How we came to that conclusion is a long, long story probably not suitable for human consumption.)
Anyhoo, our loss (of tribbles) is your gain (of Tribble Slippers)! With every step, your Tribble Slippers will purr happily. These pair wonderfully with a Star Trek Bathrobe for a lazy weekend or "sick day."
Product Specifications
- Finally, a way to put all those tribbles to work!
- Slippers that make happy tribble noises when you walk
- With every step, they will purr happily
- Batteries: 3 LR44 batteries for each slipper (included)
- Note: You will need to flip the switch to "on" to hear the sounds
- Materials: 100% polyester
- Size: One size fits most
- Huge feet?: The footbed is 11" long. (Approx Men's size 11/Women's 12)
- Washing Instructions: Surface wash only. Remove battery box before washing.

Where Are We Going? GIS and the Millennial Generation
Since the dawn of humankind, people have sketched maps on cave walls and rocks. These maps documented and communicated important geographic knowledge, and helped our ancestors make better decisions about the critical choices that determined their survival or demise.
Fast-forward to the 1960s. Computers had arrived on the scene and were beginning to be used to help us solve increasingly complex problems. "It was not until the IT revolution brought new hardware and software, removing earlier constraints, that hopes could begin to be realized and modern GIS could take shape," Prof. Brian J. L. Berry of the University of Texas, Dallas says in an article titled "Quo Vadimus?" in the upcoming Spring 2012 issue of ArcNews. "And take shape it has, creating the extraordinary new interdisciplinary area of geospatial information science."
The Intersection of GIS and Gaming
Video games have moved beyond the stereotype of simple entertainment and are now a serious technological and cultural force to be reckoned with. Millions of people spend many hours each week immersed in the rich virtual environments of today's sophisticated games. And the multibillion dollar market for games has moved beyond teen males, with adults and women now more engaged than ever.
Most games today have a spatial component, and these virtual worlds are becoming more complex and sophisticated. There is no doubt that video games have a high potential for effective education, with individuals often learning valuable skills and gaining experience from within a simulated environment. But beyond education, where else do GIS and gaming intersect?

strawberry pickin' and a pie
Wanna know something? As a child I hated pies. Maybe it was the warm fruit thing or possibly that most didn't contain chocolate. Either way I think my fondness for pies as an adult developed from the same thing as my ever growing love for veggies as an adult. I remember despising red peppers and mushrooms and now these two things are almost eaten daily, especially when in grilled form.
I do have to say this post is coming something of late. I planned to post it right in the midst of strawberry season but unfortunately I'm just getting to it now and I thought you all might still like a little bit of pie peeping.
Oh and by the way, that guy in the first picture? Thats my friend Scott. He wanted to part-take in some strawberry picking fun although I'm pretty sure he had more fun riding back and forth from the field to the farm on the tractor. He also hates this picture of himself. I thought he looked cute. I just might not tell him its here.
For the recipe: I used this pie crust and the filling is my very unmeasured erratic pretty much pure strawberry concoction, which I will not post since it wasn't quite perfect although tasty.

summer days
So, I really really wanted to make ice-cream. Good ice-cream and considering I don't have a ice-cream maker it was gonna pose a bit of a challenge and we all know that the business of this creamy cold treat is in that maker and without it the ice-cream tends to fall a little flat or hard in this case.
It's really all about the churning capabilities of said machine isn't it? I think so.
While my ever-so addicted eyes were browsing pinterest I found a pretty awesome recipe for no-churn cheese cake ice-cream. The cheesecake part pretty much had me but even more so was the no-churn process of course and the outcome? Pretty tasty and I think my mom loved it even more.
Head on over here for the recipe and check out the chocolate sorbet I did a while back. Which I think I must make again soon!

Our goal in fantasy hockey is to read tea leaves to identify the players who will help us accumulate as many counting stats as possible. Checkers and grinders are undoubtedly vital to the NHL game, but those skills are worthless to us in fantasy. What we want are the guys lighting up the scoreboard.
Oddly enough, oftentimes the guys lighting up the scoreboard have done a lot of damage on the powerplay. Of the top 50 goal scorers from last season the average player netted 27% of his goals on the powerplay. It's easier to score on the powerplay given that there is one less defender so identifying players who proved to be good even strength scorers and should see a bump in powerplay time next year should yield some fantasy sleepers.
The Candidates
Image from Images of American Political History via WikiMedia Commons
Jamie Benn – Benn's exploits have been chronicled extensively at this point, but he bears mentioning on this list. He will never be a late round pick, but the expanded role he will see when the next season begins should make him a very high draft pick.The departure of Mike Ribeiro will push Benn to the top powerplay unit. Last season Benn was 8th in the NHL in even strength goals per sixty, but ended up 5th among Stars forwards in powerplay time. Look for that to change and his point totals to sky rocket.
Kyle Okposo -The Islanders lost P.A. Parenteau this offseason to a relatively massive contract handed out by the Colorado Avalanche. He piggy backed on John Tavares for a very good season and saw a decent amont of powerplay time which led to the payday. With Parenteau gone someone will have to fill the void. Why not Okposo?
Okposo scored 24 goals last season for the Islanders and scored 1.07 even strength goals per sixty minutes. The extra powerplay time could be just what Okposo needs to take his status to the next level.
Matt Halischuk – The Predators situation mandates that they give players opportunities to succeed if they prove to the organization that they're worthy of the chance. Matt Halischuk might be in need of a bigger role.
Last season Halischuk scored 13 goals in 73 games while playing 11 minutes a night. Modest counting totals to be sure, but among forwards who played in 50 games he was 21st in the league in even strength goals per sixty minutes. He was also 12th among Predators forwards in powerplay time per game at eight seconds per game. Given a larger role and more powerplay time his counting totals could rise considerably.
Luke Adam – Luke Adam is a 22 year old accomplished minor league scorer. He has a 57 game AHL campaign under his belt where he put up 29 goals. In 2010 Adam registered 90 points in 56 games for Cape Breton of the QMJHL. Last year in 52 games for the Sabres Adam scored ten goals and had ten assists. He led the Sabres in even strength goals per sixty, but barely sniffed the powerplay at 1.53 minutes per game. He's a young kid to keep an eye on and could pay dividends in fantasy this season.
Viktor Stalberg – Poor Viktor Stalberg. He plays for the one team in the league where he doesn't have a prayer of seeing the ice on the powerplay. After scoring 22 goals in 79 games for the Blackhawks the chances of his powerplay time increasing remain slim due to the Chicago depth. He scored at the same rate at even strength as James Neal and Phil Kessel, but he saw a measley 45 seconds of powerplay time per game. If an injury were to hit the Blackhawks top six Stalberg would become an excellent fantasy acquisition on top of already being a solid sleeper.
Odds & Ends
There are any number of possible candidates you could come up with. Matt Read looks nice. Jiri Hudler could bust out in Calgary. The list goes on, but the aforementioned guys have the combination of ability and opportunity (well, except for Stalberg) to cement their place as legitimate buy low candidates. If they aren't already on your list it wouldn't hurt to throw them on there.

Police Search For Mugger For 3 Weeks, Internet Finds Him In An Hour
from the thank-you,-internetz dept
We've discussed before the ways law enforcement groups use social media. Frankly, the general theme tends to be that they aren't very good at internetting. Whether it's mocking invasive vaginal searches or catfishing music fans with well-tread tropes, it seems the wider internet plays the web game better than the LEOs. All the while, you occasionally will hear someone in law enforcement decrying how awful the internet is and even sometimes attempting to shut down certain sites. Yet, despite being so under-appreciated, the wider internet sure does love to show how good they are at catching suspected criminals.
That capability was on full display in the case of a mugging in New York City, where police had been searching for a suspect for three weeks before "deputizing" the internet, which identified him in an hour. Within an hour of Gawker posting the video of the crime on the site, a helpful commenter linked to a Facebook page that appeared to show the suspect wearing the same clothes in photos taken mere hours prior to the crime.
The link led to the Facebook page of 21-year-old Aidan Folan, who had photos of him taken hours before the robbery. According to Gawker, the photos revealed the same sweatshirt the mugger wore in the video — with large fraternity letters on front. Commenters on the New York's Daily Intelligencer site, which also posted the video, also linked back to Folan.
Folan has since been arrested and charged with robbery and assault.Internet 1, stupid frat boy crimes 0. But the larger point is that, far from the crime-inducing cesspool claimed by some LEOs, the internet is a tool they should be using. Many LEOs recognize that, utilizing social media to put together suspect timelines, but the aggregate of the public internet is also a tool to catch violent criminals.
Social media acts as a timeline of people's lives — accounts of their activities. And now they are playing significant roles in helping to solve crimes — most notably exposing the Steubenville rape case back in January.It's worth noting that there's a difference between having the public help law enforcement find suspects and LEOs keeping watch over social media. The lesson here is that the it's not all or nothing with law enforcement and the internet. You can get the help you need without invading the public's lives.

This post is a thank you to Geniaus and her blog Genimates. I was profiled on this blog in March 2011. Earlier this year I was contacted by a Glock (Uralla) relative of my husbands. I was overseas at the time and promised to make contact when I returned. It turns out that this gentleman was going on holidays and would speak to me upon his return. He said he was coming to Coffs Harbour for his holiday which is actually where I live.
To cut a long story short we arranged to meet and swapped some information. I asked him how he had found me and was shown the copy of my information on Genimates. So thank you Jill for Genimates.

Property Location :
Things to see and do in Cumbria :
Beatrix Potter Gallery
Step inside this charming 17th-century building to enjoy a new exhibition of Beatrix Potter's original watercolours and paintings. This gallery has an interesting history, as previously it was the office of Potter's husband, William Heelis. Many of these pictures are only displayed at this location. Learn more about Beatrix as a farmer and early supporter of the National Trust.
Dove Cottage
Dove Cottage was the home of William Wordsworth from December 1799 to May 1808, the years of his supreme work as a poet. As with many old buildings, the early history of Dove Cottage is difficult to trace accurately; although the date of its construction is not recorded, this is likely to have been during the early 17th century. Its original use is also unknown, but during the second half of the 18th century it became an inn called the Dove and Olive. Many of the building's distinctive features date from this time; its white-washed walls, flagstone floors and dark, wood panelling. However, in the early 1790s, the Dove and Olive was closed down. It seems likely that the building remained empty for the next few years, until William and Dorothy Wordsworth arrived as tenants on 20th December 1799.
Hill Top
Enjoy the tale of Beatrix Potter – Hill Top is a time-capsule of this amazing woman's life. Full of her favourite things, the house appears as if Beatrix had just stepped out for a walk. Every room contains a reference to a picture in a 'tale'. The lovely cottage garden is a haphazard mix of flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables. Hill Top is a small house and a timed-ticket system is in operation to avoid overcrowding and to protect the interior. Hill Top can be very busy and visitors may sometimes have to wait to enter the house.
Kendal Museum
Kendal is situated on the edge of the English Lake District and is home to one of the country's oldest museums. Founded in 1796, Kendal Museum's fascinating collections include local archaeology, history, geology and a natural history collection from around the globe. We also have a changing programme of temporary exhibitions and displays , events, walks and talks.
Muncaster Castle
Welcome to Muncaster Castle & Gardens, one of the best places to visit in the Lake District for a fun family day out! The Muncaster Experience is different for everyone... Come and see why The Independent Newspaper voted Muncaster No 1 in their list of the top 50 "Best Spring Day's Out". Although spring is now over Muncaster with all its attractions is worth a visit at any time of year!
Sizergh Castle and Garden
This imposing house, at the gateway to the Lake District, stands proud in a rich and beautiful garden, which includes a pond, lake, national collection of hardy ferns and a superb limestone rock garden. Still lived in by the Strickland family, Sizergh has many tales to tell and certainly feels lived in, with centuries-old portraits and fine furniture sitting alongside modern family photographs. The exceptional wood panelling culminates in the Inlaid Chamber, returned here in 1999 from the Victoria & Albert Museum. The 647-hectare (1,600-acre) estate includes limestone pasture, orchards and ancient, semi-natural woodland.
The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop
Grasmere lies in the heart of the English Lake District National Park, just north of Lake Windermere. This world famous village is a classic tourist attraction; here is Dove Cottage, the home of the English Poet William Wordsworth, it is also the home of Sarah Nelson's Grasmere Gingerbread. You will on visiting the village discover The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop tucked away at the corner of the churchyard of St. Oswald's Church.
Windermere is the largest natural lake in England. It has been one of the country's most popular places for holidays and summer homes since 1847, when the Kendal and Windermere Railway built a branch line to it. It is in the county of Cumbria and entirely within the Lake District National Park.
World of Beatrix Potter
Well, it's just a hop, skip and a jump to the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, the only Beatrix Potter themed attraction in Europe, where you can visit Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-duck and many other delightful characters. Our attraction includes all 23 Tales by Beatrix Potter, brought to life in a magical indoor recreation of the Lakeland countryside, complete with sights, sounds and even smells. So you can meet Peter Rabbit in Mr. McGregor's garden, discover Jemima Puddle-duck in the woodland glade and visit Mrs. Tiggy-winkle in her kitchen.

September 17, 2010
Wabash placed four runners in the top-nine spots at Friday afternoon's Indiana Intercollegiate Cross Country Championships to win the team title in the Little State Division. Senior Seth Einterz took the Little State individual title with a winning time of 25:40.30.
Kevin McCarthy took fourth place, finishing the 8,000-meter course at Purdue University in 26:13.60. Donavan White was eighth for the Little Giants with a time of 26:35.00, while Justin Allen took ninth place (26:35.10). Corey McFarland completed the team scoring for Wabash with his 16th-place finishing time of 26:55.90.
Brian David finished in 32nd place (27:27.00), and Dalton Boyer took 33rd place (27:27.20).
Wabash scored a total of 38 points, crushing the rest of the Little State field consisting of non-Division I men's cross country programs. DePauw took second place with 91 points, while Franklin was third with 102. Manchester (127) and the University of Indianapolis (140) rounded out the top-five team places.
The Little Giants last Little State title came in 1995 when current head coach Roger Busch was a senior on the Wabash cross country team.
"It's pretty exciting," Busch said. "We changed our season philosophy around this year. In the past we've bypassed the Little State race and kept some of our top runners out of the competition. This year we skipped the Great Lakes Colleges Association championship meet six days ago and really prepared for this meet . I believe it helps us in two areas — in recruiting as we now know we are the top small school cross country program in the state of Indiana, plus most of our roster is from the state so they guys get to perform in front of their families and friends.
"I was excited to see our guys get after it early. We've gone up to Purdue four or five times this season. Our guys knew the course well. What is really impressive is that we haven't even really started working out hard yet. This was our first 8k, so to start with wins in the Hokum Karem and now at Little State sets a good standard for the rest of the season. Amazingly we didn't have our best day as a team, but we had a good day. We can run even better. Seth and Kevin ran well, but are capable of doing even more. Donavan and Justin really stepped up. They've both been hurt in the past, but they've worked hard, are healthy, and gave us great performances today. McFarland had a big day in his first 8k. He's a low mileage guy from a small high school. I think he can improve that time even more as the season continues. Top to bottom from positions one through nine we ran really well."
Einterz (left) finished 19th in the combined field of all collegiate cross country runners, competing head to head with athletes from Indiana University, Purdue, Butler, Indiana State, and IUPUI. The Little Giants finished sixth among the 22 Indiana colleges competing in Friday's event. IU won the overall team competition with 37 points. Purdue was second (44 points), followed by Indiana State (53), Butler (95), and IUPUI (168). Wabash scored a total of 179 points in the overall team competition.

Scott is a talent and a gentlemen. Congratulations on the rare find and excellent addition to your collection, sir. Have you informed Scott these turned up? I'm sure he'd be amused.
[...] Powers. [via] "In 1989 I had customized the few first Extra Powers (EP) figures … About half the [...]
Saw 'em. Passed on 'em. Glad you won 'em, tho! Had no idea they were from back in the day…thought it was some new guy's customs since they tend to pop up from time to time.
Great blog. Thanks, JM. Congrats on the new acquisitions. Props to Scott for doing those cards by hand before the days of computer graphics applications!
oh man! this totally brings back memories…I remember these exact ads in Toy Shop back in the day, and thought they were awesome as well. Great stuff!!
WOW! Number one…we're about the same age…so I remember those wonderful publications with great fondness!! and number two… I also lusted after these figures and actually had a Banshee made back in 1993! I no longer have that figure but man it was SWEET!This guys work got me motivated to make my own figures and supplies were SO limited back then! Great find and a nice piece of nostalgia!
Amazing work for that time. The price and detail aren't bad at all in hindsight.
I, too, was perplexed the first time I saw Scot's work in Toy Shop.
I had never seen custom cards before, so I knew they weren't legit, but still couldn't figure out where they came from.
I was already doing customs myself then, however, having first discovered them from a Federal Judge who ran a comic shop in Corpus Christi, TX.
I remember these. Cool stuff. I started collecting with the Super Powers line, but only bought about 1/2 of them. I later used Toy Shop to acquire many of the ones I was unable to get from flea markets. Good memories.
I have very mixed feelings about Scooter's Custom Works and Scott Flemming. On the positive side, I remember my eyes bugging out and turning green with envy seeing his brochure and the great looking work he did. I also remember being disappointed after sending him a mint Mego Batman in trade for a figure and then never hearing from him again. And finally, I remember reading some of his posts on th old Toybuzz message board and thinking he was a royal jerk, particularly when he once replied to a post with which he disagreed with the classy response "Eat me".
So yeah, mixed feelings.
First off – let me say thanks to the folks that remember and spoke up positively about my work. As I just wrote to JM about – It is painfully embarrassing to see some of one's earliest work presented. I am sure that people used to Casimir's and Iron Cow's recent offerings would cringe at the thought of paying money for those figures of mine now. As would I. But as was pointed out – this was a while ago and not only did we have less resources and materials at our disposal, there was no internet to speak of to find more. I can honestly say that my work improved even during the time when I was making these and that came, like everything else good, from practice, and experience. Nothing helped my work more than doing them every day for 3 years.
On the eating humble pie front – I have to apologize to hourman (and many others) whom I offended with my attitude and/or words some time ago. It certainly isn't something I can defend or refute. There were long periods of time when "royal jerk" would have been an upgrade. I have been through a lot of life-changing experiences in the last decade and hope I am a better person for it. Feel free to drop me a line for a more in depth apology.
I still do custom work of a different, less license-infringing variety at http://www.pimpmybatmobile.com where many of us are trying to improve upon Hot Wheels' Batmobile efforts. And as I told JM, the redux version of the Extra Powers line is still in very much in sight. This year I'll be revising/relaunching the website and updating a lot of stuff so keep an eye out.
- Scot (Scooter)
Holy Moley – yeah, I was one of those guys looking through periodicals for action figures back in the early 90′s just like you. Funny, it was a time when Starting Line Ups were all the rage, and ToyBiz Marvel Super-Heroes Storm was no where to be found. I even found the last series of Super Powers for $5.00 at a LCS, but couldn't bring myself to sepnd "that much" for them at the time. D'oh!
No hard feelings, Scot (and my apologies for somehow mispelling both your first and last name). Humility is a highly underrated quality, and I applaud your willingness to display it here. I've certainly found the last ten or so years of my own life pretty humbling, so I appreciate where you're coming from.
Thanks for addressing my issues and best of luck with your future endeavors. I was always admiring of your talent.
I am the mysterious "Doug" of whom Daniel speaks of. I thank him for his kind words about me. For awhile I think we were going to see who died with the most toys but I fear he has greatly outstripped me over the last few years.
This certainly brought back memories and I can't believe he kept that ad for all this time. I do rememeber fondly going down to Comic Empire weekly to get TOY SHOP just to look at what I was missing out on. I learned a lot from that and other publications of the day. It was a great time to collect..a time when you HAD to go to Toys shows and conventions to find things. How many times did I drive to Dallas or Kansas City to try and find that elusive figure. Daniel was a great part of that and i'm glad to see him continue to carry the torch for toy collecting. Thanks for the memories!
Great to hear about this again, guys. I was a charter subscriber to Lee's and Tomart's, as well as a frequent costumer of Toy Shop's various action figure merchants back in the 90′s.
Scot's Extra Powers ads always amazed me. Once I saw the first one, I knew then that Super Powers would live on forever, and here we are on its 25th anniversary.
[...] Check it out HERE [...]

Binary trading global reviews on traders being scammed
Scams are unfortunately all too common in the field of binary options. Dishonest brokers and reviews, or rigged robots and other auto trading services — the scams can come in many forms.
When any new financial instrument or form of trading first emerges, a whole range of businesses tend to get involved. This is certainly true of binary options.
It is, after all, an accessible and popular method for individuals to trade the markets. But as with any international online marketplace, there are still some shady outfits who will leave you with less than you bargained for.
So what are red flags to look out for? Here are the points to consider as you go about choosing your binary broker. Binary trading global reviews on traders being scammed liaise with bank or credit card firms in order to get charge backs made to reclaim deposits.
They will tell you if you have a valid claim via a free consultation. Ideally, focus on review sites that allow and encourage real-life users to get in contact and report and problems with particular brokers, so you can be sure that what you are reading is up to date.
Below binary trading global reviews on traders being scammed an always up-to-date list of our top 3 trusted brokers. You can find a list of all the brokers we recommend here. They have already created a list of unauthorised firms. While they are not calling them scams, they are making it clear that these firms are breaking the law by trading with UK visitors — so they are best avoided. The full list can be found here: By contrast, the USA along with most other EU countries do regard binary options as financial products.
Depending on where they are based, many platforms will, therefore, be subject to oversight from a regulatory body. It shows that the broker has to abide by certain minimum standards when it comes to service and transparency. Taken in isolation, the act of placing a trade should be a straightforward one; and indeed, the usability of a platform tends to be a big selling point for brokers.
Realising a profit through regular trading requires knowledge of how markets behave, the ability to read market conditions and an understanding of strategy. Read the smallprint, and be especially wary of needlessly convoluted procedures for withdrawal of funds.
Terms regarding your initial deposit can be another source of contention; for instance, if you are denied access to the deposit until a certain number of trades are made — so your money is tied to the platform from the moment it is handed over. These tend to fall into two categories.
The first is where you are called out of the blue and invited to sign up to a particular platform. Reputable brokers do not need to make cold calls. You should always be clear about who you are dealing with. A good broker will be upfront about its identity from the outset. On occasion large accounts will be wiped out in hours. Always take responsibility for your own trades. Never allow a broker to make trading decisions for you.
There has to be a fair and transparent benchmark against which the broker sets its prices. If the broker reserves the right to set its own prices, you can assume that those figures will be skewed against you; in other words, a loaded deck. The brokers listed below have generated a lot of complaints both directly and on the forum. The disputes vary from upselling and encouraging traders to over trade, to non-payment of withdrawals and price manipulation.
If in doubt, trade elsewhere. There are plenty of honest brokers out there. These signal providers, or robot services, are either scams or not recommended for other important reasons. If that happens, what do you do? Do you sit back and take it? Do you give up on trading? No, you need to stand tall and look out for yourself. They help claimants to explain the incident to the bank or credit card company, so that they fully understand what has happened. Some banks are unaware of binary trading and are unwilling to listen to claims.
MyChargeBack help in this situation. They have a solid record of recovery from genuine claims. The internet is loaded with ads, articles, companies and individuals trying to provide you with the next big trading strategy that will make you rich overnight.
Take pause my friend, here are tips to help you spot the scam. What you actually need is binary trading global reviews on traders being scammed entire system. When you make a trading plan it needs to cover how you will enter markets, exit markets and how you will manage your money.
It also needs to tell you under what market conditions you do all these things. That is a system, it tells you everything you need to know about how you will trade.
A strategy on the other hand only tells you when to enter and exit, and may not tell you under what conditions it works best or poorly.
In other words, a strategy may have missing pieces of information you need to be successful. Here are several things to watch for which could tip you off the product is probably a waste of money:. For example, the product may just be a series of indicators or a service that tells you when to trade, but not why. If a product or signal service stops operating you are left with nothing. Stats are easily manipulated to tell partial truths or fabricate lies.
Read between binary trading global reviews on traders being scammed lines. To understand performance you need several bits of information: You can usually get a sense of what vulnerabilities and tendencies a system has by looking at the above stats.
One of the main things is that the strategy should be tested over a long period of time, and in all market conditions—up trends, down trends, ranges, volatile and sedate conditions. Often marketers will only publish results for a period where strategy did very well.
Markets rise and fall, you want to participate in both trends. Usually a quick trading forum search on Google will reveal binary trading global reviews on traders being scammed others have shares about a product or service. No trial, no deal. It should show you behind the scenes so that eventually you can trade on your own.
There is no reason to make every customer totally dependent. Be wary of stats that are thrown out. Of course remember though, past performance is not indicative of futures results. Once you understand this you can quickly and simply save your time and money with these unscrupulous dolts. So just refuse to deposit and they go away.
In this image above you can see many of the scam systems are connected to each other on the same servers most often. These JV marketers have tons of these turnkey scams as they are very low maintenance.
The one thing they are all after is your money, so be on the look out for them asking for deposits or sign-ups telling you about amazing profits and opportunities, which will have you end up with empty binary trading global reviews on traders being scammed.
We named it Binary Options Horror Story because that is exactly what it is in all its gory details. If you are new to binary options read, and absorb the above warning signs fully to see how they scammed people out of their money so it does not happen to you. Notice also how the worked with the brokers directly, which implies that they can be directly involved as well. Are Binary Options A Scam? Trusted Brokers in Germany Below is an always up-to-date list of our top 3 trusted brokers.
Terms and conditions Transparency is essential. Cold calling These tend to fall into two categories. Channel sales You should always be clear about who you are dealing with.

Will They Never Learn? Banc de Binary Beeoptions Binaryinternational. If you are not yet looking for third party help, here are some steps you can take yourself: The very first thing to do is to make records of everything binary trading global reviews on traders being scammed can. No matter what you do next, this information will be required in order to get satisfaction. What you do next will depend on the type of scam you have fallen prey to. The next most pressing reason why withdrawals are not allowed is due to bonus terms and turnover binary trading global reviews on traders being scammed.
A good broker will try to solve your issues, a shady one will give you the run-around. Make your voice heard. Broker keeps giving me the run-around. After all, it is the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. You can do this by posting complaints, with details, in forums like the one here at Binaryoptions. When you do this be sure to let the broker know and send them a link.
They may not care, a sign of a shady broker, but when it comes to reliable brokers they will want to address your problems to avoid poor publicity.

About Ollio
Digitally inspired, made real
"I like when you can tell it's been made with your own hands"
Ollio is moved by TV, Instagram and the world around him. A true graffiti artist of the current generation, the Swede might find equal inspiration in an underwater documentary and the damp, forested walk to his studio. He was among the first on the Gothenburg street art scene to reveal his identity, tagging his work with his name. He's since made a solid name from himself in his home city, which he knows like the back of his hand.
Color and pattern are among Ollio's fascinations. Intertwining, interconnecting lines and shapes and the contrast of black lines with the shades in between: Ollio makes it all come together in his brilliant impressions, all created with his two hands. Since he's easily bored by sameness, Ollio thrives on working with different materials: newsprint, paper, wood, canvas and textiles have all at some point been a platform for his artful designs. And walls, of course.
You can catch Ollio's work in exhibitions all over Europe. Or, where and how it all began: enriching the streets of Gothenburg and giving life to its alleys.

The European Health Insurance Card
The following information explains how to apply for a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) if you are living in Ireland or living in another EU/EEA State and are linked to the Irish Social Security System. If you live in Ireland but you are linked to another EU/EEA State's Social Security System, contact the health authorities in that country for more information.
If you are an EU/EEA national and are travelling or staying temporarily in another state of the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you are entitled to receive medical care if you become ill or have an accident.
If you are a student or a seconded worker, or if you are entitled to a social security pension in that state, you will be entitled to health care beyond the immediate treatment.
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) replaced the E111 form and a number of other 'E' forms including the E128, making it easier for you to get medical care quickly and easily. It is evidence that you are part of a health insurance scheme administered by another state in the EEA/Switzerland. To obtain healthcare with the Card, you can go to the nearest public system doctor, public hospital, or other public treatment centre and present your Card.
Public health care systems vary from country to country, and few countries pay the full cost of health care for holders of the Card, so there may be some element of co-payment for the services you receive.
Currently, the EEA comprises the 28 member states of the European Union together with Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Your European Health Insurance Card is valid for use throughout any of these countries and in Switzerland.
Where can I use my European Health Insurance Card?
In any EU/EEA Country and in Switzerland. Follow this link to find out where you can use your Card and how to access care abroad.
If the country you are visiting is not among those listed, you cannot use a European Health Insurance Card there and you should obtain private health insurance instead.
Andorra and Monaco are not part of the EU (they are separate principalities). As they are not part of the EU, they are not subject to EU regulations and your European Health Insurance Card is not acceptable there. You are advised to obtain private health insurance instead.
Can non-EU nationals apply for and use European Health Insurance Cards?
Under Regulation 859/2003 any non-EU national, their family members or survivors legally resident in the territory of an EU member state may apply for and use a European Health Insurance Card or Temporary Replacement Certificate while on temporary visits between member states. However, they cannot use their card for medical treatment in Denmark, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland.
You can only apply for an European Health Insurance Card from the Irish health authorities if you are:
- Ordinarily resident in Ireland and you are not receiving a Social Insurance payment from another EU State or paying another EU State's Social Insurance, or you are not the dependant of such a person.
- Resident in another EU State and you are receiving an Irish Social Insurance payment or paying Irish Social Insurance, or you are a dependant of such a person.
Like the old E111, the European Health Insurance Card only entitles you to the state-funded health care scheme in the country in which you are staying. It will not cover any of the costs involved in transporting you back to Ireland.
Every individual member of the family or group will require their own card.
Each European Health Insurance Card will be valid throughout the EEA and Switzerland for up to 4 years.
You can get a European Health Insurance Card in Ireland if you are ordinarily resident here.
The European Health Insurance Card will not cover you for health care in any country outside the EEA, with the exception of Switzerland.
You don't need a European Health Insurance Card to get necessary health care while on a temporary visit to the UK if you are an Irish resident. It is enough to show proof that you are ordinarily resident in Ireland. (In practice, proof that you are ordinarily resident in Ireland means a driving licence, Irish passport or similar document.)
What is 'necessary health care' for the purposes of using my European Health Insurance Card?
The term 'necessary care' was defined under decision 194 of 2003 by the Administrative Commission on Social Security for Migrant Workers. That decision defines necessary care as benefits granted with a view to preventing an insured person from being forced to return home to their home member state and enabling them to continue their temporary stay in another member state under safe medical conditions. The decision specifically states that it does not cover persons who travel within Europe in order to obtain treatment in a country other than that in which they are insured.
There is further information regarding the rights and obligations of those who hold and use a European Health Insurance Card here.
How do I renew my European Health Insurance Card?
Your Card will not be renewed automatically - instead, you must apply to renew your Card. See 'How to apply' below for instructions.
Remember, if any of your details have changed (e.g. address, etc.) since your last card was issued you must contact your Local Health Office to have this information updated in advance of renewal.
What if I don't have my Card before I travel?
If you don't have your European Health Insurance Card for any reason, you can get a Temporary Replacement Certificate. This Certificate gives you the same entitlement as the Card, but for a shorter period. You can apply online for this Certificate, or by post or in person to your Local Health Office. (See 'Where to apply' below). One Temporary Replacement Certificate is issued per person.
Using a European Health Insurance Card in Ireland
There are more than 2,000 family doctors (GPs) in Ireland contracted to the European Health Insurance Card scheme. If you are an EU/EEA national with a European Health Insurance Card (or equivalent) visiting Ireland you can avail of necessary family doctor services and emergency dental treatment for the relief of pain (and urgent denture repairs) under EU regulations. Emergency services in Ireland are contactable by telephoning 999 or 112, free of charge. Further information about how to obtain treatment from a family doctor or dentist, prescription medicines and hospital treatment while visiting Ireland is available here.
There is no fee for the European Health Insurance Card or for a Temporary Replacement Certificate. Renewing a European Health Insurance Card is also free.
How to apply
Applying for a European Health Insurance Card for the first time
If you are travelling to an EU/EEA country or Switzerland you should apply for an European Health Insurance Card (or Temporary Replacement Certificate) in advance of travel.
You may apply online for your European Health Insurance Card if you are currently resident in Ireland and you already have either a medical card or a Drugs Payment Scheme (DPS) card. Your online application will be forwarded to the HSE Primary Care Re-imbursement Service) for processing. Your Card or Certificate will then be posted out to you.
Alternatively, you can download a European Health Insurance Card application form here (pdf). If you are applying for a Temporary Replacement Certificate, write 'Temporary Replacement Certificate' on the form.
Complete the form and return it to your Local Health Office at least 1 month before you leave Ireland.
Copies of the application form for a European Health Insurance Card are also available from your Local Health Office.
If you are resident in another EU/EEA member state, a different application form is used. You can apply online or download the form and email or post it.
Renewing an expired European Health Insurance Card
European Health Insurance Cards are not re-issued automatically when they expire. Instead, you must apply to renew your Card. Before you apply to renew your expired Card online, remember to have your old Card to hand. If you have changed address or your name since your last Card was issued you will need to contact your Local Health Office. It is advisable to apply well in advance of the date you plan to travel.
Renew your European Health Insurance Card online here. Select the Renew Current Card option at the top of the screen. You will then be asked to enter the 10-digit identification number listed on your expired Card. This number is located on the front of your Card, in the bottom left-hand section. You are then asked to confirm the address to which the Card will be dispatched. After this, you will see a confirmation screen, confirming that your renewal application has been successful and that your Card will be dispatched.
Refund of health costs
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) entitles you to healthcare through the public system if you become ill or injured while on a temporary stay. In some states you may have to make some payment towards the cost of the services you receive, just as residents in that state do. Such payments are non-refundable. If you avail of private health care no refund is payable.
You may be entitled to a refund if you were charged because you did not present a valid EHIC or you were charged in error by the health service provider in the other state.
You should apply for a refund to your HSE Local Health Office. You should bring any receipts you have. The HSE will send an E126 form to the health authorities in the other state to establish:
- If you availed of a public health service
- The level of refund that is due to you
On return of the completed E126 form from the other state, the HSE should be able to determine if a refund is due or not. Further information is available on the HSE website.

So after hours and hours of searching, I have finally found the TrueCar booth at NADA. You'll notice that transparency seems to be their NADA theme.
Are you ready for the picture?
Wait until you get a load of their booth.
Are you sure you want to see this?
This is your last chance to exit before witnessing the TrueCar spectacle.

hilarious Jerry!
Painter still doesn't Get It, does he? The tone of his latest interview, still talking down too us, lecturing about what the consumer wants and he is the salvation and the answer because we're stupid. Admitting he was a bad guy in the past but he's come to repent and be baptized in the love of car people. Do we have a "Trust" issue with him?
"Look, I realize that some people feel, because of my past at Cars-Direct, that this is an anti-dealer play. It's not. This is about fundamentally recognizing that the consumer has changed how they shop, and we believe that this is one of the most important tools for dealership profitability and growth in the future."

My parody translation: "Look, I may have attempted to do some pretty crappy things to dealer's in the past with CarsDirect, and yes I was forced by the board to step down....that aside, trust me, this is different."
Thomas I love your translation of painter's double-talk... JIM
If anyone wants a copy of the Data Wars Newsletter to forward on to your email list, please send me a message here with your email address and I'll send it to you...
That's funny
I appreciate your time and effort into finding their booth. I guess I was wrong in saying that they weren't going to be there.
LoL - Not that I looked for their booth, but this is funny, Jerry. You are really a Ninja.
I've never cared or even thought about how anyone conducted their business before, it's their business & none of mine UNLESS in interferes with my business. I started keeping records about 4 months ago & we've had 22 clients with "true car" certificates in that time. ONE yes ONE out of 22 people got "the deal" & two of them were switched to used cars the rest were bait & switch SCAMS! I did get most of the other deals but the problem is the time, I just don't have it. I spent over 20 years explaining to people that KBB is in the advertising business NOT the car business & I don't have another 20 years. I put together a massive package & am sending it to EVERYONE manufacturers, dealers, DMV's in 48 states, us attorney general also the attorney general of each state & anyone else I can think of. First batch went out & I think they are about to be dealt a huge blow by mercedes in CA. I also think that you will see a MASS exodus of dealers in CA & not just mercedes. I've talked to 100's of dealers & they're universally trying to distance themselves from these guys. Not sure yet if what they're doing is legal (there are definitely some issues) but it's unethical to say the least. It's just a scam people are smarter than given credit for they will figure it out...they already are.
☮& ღ
That's it? They have a $150 million dollar agreement with Yahoo and this is their booth? They forgot that their real customers were the dealers, since the dealers are the ones paying for the service.
Jerry I laughed so hard I cried when I saw this... Thank you for posting! I agree with Greg Johnson... They forgot who the real customer was...

By R. Rueben Drefs, Toledo, Ohio
I grew up on a farm when threshing was still being done and have researched the earlier times, too. In the 1940s, the bundles that your e-mail person wrote and the letter described were called schocks. The schocks were loaded onto a hay wagon and driven up to a stationary threshing machine, the McCormick Doering being the most popular model.
But, I also discussed with one of my older cousins as to the the procedure in the 1920s. Then they hauled the schocks into the farmyard and stacked them with the straw bottoms out and the heads inside to protect them from rain. I understand this was done for two reasons.
1.) The early Steam engines threshing machines did not have a blower to make a straw stack. Instead the machine had a conveyer belt that dumped the straw at the back of the machine where it had to be pitched manually into a straw stack. This would have required smaller straw stacks than with a blower machine.
2.) Some of the early gas machines such as Hart Parr tractor had a stationary model, although it was not really stationary, as it had wheels but was very combersome to move. So this reason is not so clear. It may have been a transition period when threshing changed from steam engine to gas tractor belt power. The other reason for the smaller stacks on the farmyard was that there were only a few threshing machines and therefore some threshing did not take place until September and the grain would have deteriorated if left in the original schocks in the fields. So they were stacked on the yard and the threshing machine was moved next to the bundle stacks. I'm still not clear on what method was used in the early 1930s.

Visiting Students Enjoy Comedian's Take on Wabashby Jim Amidon • March 13, 2006 Share:
More than 300 high school seniors have arrived on Wabash College's campus for the 113th Honor Scholarship Weekend, one of the nation's oldest running competitive scholarship competitions.
The College welcomed more than 350 high school seniors for the weekend competing for upwards of $3.5 million in scholarships. See photo album from registration and Activities Fair.
One of the last official parts of the weekend was a performance Saturday night by standup comedian Greg Fitzsimmons. The Comedy Central regular had the 200-300 students roaring for more than hour in the Wabash Chapel.
He is a regular performer on "The Late Show with David Letterman," "The Tonight Show," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien, "Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and CNN. He's done comedy specials on Comedy Central and has made over 25 appearances on "The Howard Stern Show."
Friday began with registration and students visiting the Activities Fair. Students were able to visit with the Independent Men's Association, athletics, Fraternity Houses, and a wide variety of student-run campus activities. Following tours of campus, the students got an official welcome in the Chapel and then lunch. See photo album from morning welcome and parents lunch.
English Professor Tobey Herzog gave the students a classroom lesson in the liberal arts and Wabash College. Josh Owens, president of the Inter-fraternity Council, talked about fraternity life. Jesse James '08, president of the Independent Men's Association, talked about living in Wabash dorms.
Check out the photo album from Friday night's Honor Scholarship Banquet.
Besides taking tests for scholarship money, the students will visit fraternities and be entertained. One of the weekend highlights will be an 8 p.m. Saturday performance by nationally-known comedian Greg Fitzsimmons.
Students can choose some of the exams, but others are required. And they're not easy. Only about a quarter of the participants will win some type of scholarship.
But its not just about the scholarship money, the weekend gives prospective students to get a real feel for Wabash College life.
The weekend gives the mostly 18-year-old crowd a chance to spend the weekend with us and see if Wabash "feels" right for them. That's why the living units throw open their doors and hope the seniors will take a close look at the fraternities and dorms. By eating the food, spending the night, and hanging out with Wabash men, seniors get a better idea of what life at Wabash is like.
All of the fraternities have activities scheduled, too, so that prospective students can see what social life is like at Wabash. The Phi Delts will have the usual Caveman Bouts boxing match, while other houses will feature pool and poker tournaments, hog roasts, and NCAA basketball on big screen TVs.

The following was posted by Edward Byrne at his Blogger blog on Friday, September 12, 2008. With his permission, I post it here now:
Yesterday, as news about the death of Reginald Shepherd spread from one literary blog to another, I spent some time revisiting his prose and poetry. When I began writing posts for "One Poet's Notes," I had hoped to maintain a certain degree of serious study of poetry and poetics, even while striving to write pieces readers might find engaging and entertaining. Reginald Shepherd was one of the authors of critical commentary and personal essays on a regular poetry blog whose contributions to literary discourse I admired greatly and hoped to complement with my own offerings. Indeed, an article I posted to "One Poet's Notes" in June of 2007 about the apparent demise of Parnassus specifically cited Shepherd's work and his presence on the Internet as one of the online critics whose blog usually contained interesting perspectives or intelligent perceptions, helping to fill "the gap created by the absence of Parnassus" and the loss of book review sections in newspapers across the country. Reginald Shepherd's blog was among those I have bookmarked and to which I have subscribed for immediate updates. Each time I received notice at my Google Reader page of a new entry on his blog, I looked forward to reading his words. Since Shepherd also discussed every aspect of his life with honesty and openness, all of his readers were aware of this poet's serious health problems, as well as the ongoing pain or difficult medical procedures he endured. In fact, he was so frank in confiding with his readers that I am tempted to refer to Shepherd by his first name as any friend might do. However, I never had an opportunity for the good fortune of personally meeting with him. A little more than two weeks ago, Reginald Shepherd wrote again of his continuing health battle, beginning his August 26 blog post as follows:
I am in the hospital for the fourth time in the past five months, this time for excruciating abdominal pain that turned out to be due to a partial bowel obstruction which has still not cleared up. I have had a tube down my throat and have been unable to eat for over a week. I spend most of my days trying to sleep through the pain and nausea.Nevertheless, Reginald Shepherd continued in the post to present a marvelous excerpt from an essay on the poetry of Alvin Feinman that had been published in his recent book of essays, Orpheus in the Bronx, released just this year by the University of Michigan Press. Shepherd characterized his commentary in the blog post as his "final tribute to my recently deceased mentor Alvin Feinman." Sadly, that was the last post on Shepherd's blog, and I now include reference of it to recommend it as part of my final tribute to him. Reginald Shepherd was first and foremost a poet. Besides the blog entries or numerous essays he produced, Shepherd and his work might be better appreciated through reading his five books of poetry: Fata Morgana (2007); Otherhood (2003); Wrong (1999); Angel, Interrupted (1996); and Some Are Drowning (1994). As a sample of his poetry and an invitation to further seek his writings, in which his voice continues and evidence of his remarkable life remains, I provide the following example from Fata Morgana:
In the course of the various tests to try to determine the cause of the obstruction, my surgeon found several large masses on my liver which, after a blood test and a liver biopsy, have turned out to be a fast-growing resurgence of my colon cancer. Thus I am in the hospital cancer ward for the foreseeable future, starting chemotherapy again (it had been on hold during my assorted medical crises of the past few months), before I have had time to fully recover from my recent illnesses and surgeries.
If this world were mine, the stereo
starts, but can't begin
to finish the phrase. I might survive
it, someone could add, but that
someone's not here. She's crowned
with laurel leaves, the place
where laurel leaves would be
if there were leaves, she's not
medieval Florence, not
Blanche of Castile. Late March
keeps marching in old weather,
another slick of snow to trip
and fall into, another bank
of inconvenient fact. The sky
is made of paper and white reigns,
shredded paper pools into her afterlife,
insurance claims and hospital reports,
bills stamped "Deceased," sign here
and here, a blank space where she
would have been. My sister
said We'll have to find another
And this is how
loss looks, my life in black plastic
garbage bags, a blue polyester suit
a size too small. Mud music
as they packed her in
damp ground, it's always raining
somewhere, in New Jersey,
while everyone was thinking about
fried chicken and potato salad,
caramel cake and lemonade.
Isn't that a pretty dress
they put her in? She looks so
lifelike. (Tammi Terrell
collapsed in Marvin Gaye's arms
onstage. For two hundred points,
what was the song?) Trampled
beneath the procession, her music.
Pieces of sleep like pieces of shale
crumble through my four a.m.
(a flutter of gray that could be
rain), unable to read this thing
that calls itself the present.
She's lost among the spaces
inside letters, moth light, moth wind,
a crumpled poem in place of love.
—Reginald Shepherd
