Every year, along about New Year�s, I get a call from my old friend Kevin, up in Erie, Pa.
Every year, along about New Year�s, I get a call from my old friend Kevin, up in Erie, Pa.
It�s always great to hear from him, though I dread his calls as well. The guy gets on a phone and you can pretty much write off the day.
I�ve known him since I was a kid in a backwater, two-street town called Townville, up in Crawford County. Townville. Who would give a town such a redundant name? I�m not sure where �Crawford� county comes from either. It sounds like �crawfish,� as if some Keystone genius decided to name all that real estate after midget, freshwater lobsters.
I could reminisce about Townville and Kevin all day. It was that town, growing up. If you�ve lived a lot of places, like I have, most of those former homes become a blur in your memory. You know: one or two incidents in each one stand out. The little blonde-haired kid I knew in Titusville who, every time we saw each other, we stuck our tongues out. And this was before Miley Cyrus, you know.
Or the time I decided to head home without waiting for anyone from first grade in Taylor, by Scranton, Pa., because I was convinced I could find my way home. I sat sniffling with the little old lady who served me cookies and Kool-Aid while she called my parents. There were all the cool trolley rides in Pittsburgh.
Then there was Kirby, where I had my one and only fistfight with a kid, with the winner claiming rights to an apple tree that grew on the border of our properties. I would tell you who won, but why use up a future column?
Jamestown had the Mark Twain Manor, a mansion built by an eccentric doctor, where Mark Twain famously visited.
Then there was Townville. I only spent a couple of years there, but they were formative years � years where my imagination bloomed, where I probably developed my present mindset and where I made two really close friends � the closest I would ever make until I met my wife Roberta.
We were nigh inseparable, Kevin and me. Townville was a rag of a town, located on two sides of a long street on a hill. My father was a Methodist preacher of two churches and we lived in a parsonage beside one. Across the street was the elementary school, and up the street about a mile was a cemetery.
Behind us on our side of the street was seemingly endless pastureland that we loved to play in. We took G.I. Joes, which in those days were 12-inch action figures dressed for war, and played with them alongside a stream. We made up a lot of stories about superheroes � we invented our own and mine was some guy with flying abilities named Night Owl. We had Johnny Wests as well � a GI Joe knockoff who was a cowboy with all kinds of gear. There was even Sir Gordon, a Joe-sized knight in gold armor and his nemesis, a silver-armored guy whose name I forget.
Sometimes we lined them up on a hillside and stood back with BB guns and tried to pick them off. I remember one guy�s face shattering, and how startled we were at the unintentional bit of realism.
The stream passed through the pasture and into some woods where there was a large boulder called Big Rock that we went to. It wasn�t a play place so much as a place where you sat around and just talked: the future, the present, deep thoughts and intimate discussions.
A lot of times we plotted novels we hoped we�d one day write together.
Strangely, from all those days playing in the pastures, I can�t recall ever seeing a cow. There must have been cows, though. I know Pennsylvania has them.
Even after I moved away we kept in close touch for years, and went on plotting novels. We eventually realized our literary, political philosophical tastes were growing well apart. Our lifestyles did too: I headed for warmer climes because I hate the cold and he moved to Erie because he hates hot weather. I married; he remained a bachelor.
These days our lifestyles are as far apart as our physical addresses. But when he calls the differences don�t seem to matter much. Somewhere, deep inside, we�re still those same two kids sitting on a huge boulder eating sandwiches and sodas and chattering away.

'Take a Kid Fishing!' dates announced by DNREC Division of Fish & WildlifeAquatic Resource Education Center to host fishing program on Earth Day, April 20
DOVER (March 27, 2013) – Do you know a child or young teen who might enjoy learning about fishing and trying their hand as an angler at landing a fish? Through the Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife's Take a Kid Fishing! program, you'll have your choice of five upcoming dates when budding anglers age 6 through 15 and a parent/guardian are invited to come out and cast a line.
Take a Kid Fishing teaches young people fundamental fishing skills and conservation concepts. The program is sponsored by the Division of Fish and Wildlife through its Aquatic Resource Education Center near Smyrna. Delaware Nature Society and Delaware State Parks partner with the Division of Fish and Wildlife to provide host sites for the program. Along with the angling, these free-admission* fishing days also feature activity stations and prizes. Fishing equipment is provided, but participants may want to pack a picnic lunch.
Take a Kid Fishing will be held on the following upcoming dates:
* While participation in Take a Kid Fishing is free of charge, entrance fees are in effect at Delaware State Parks host sites: for each vehicle, the cost is $3 with Delaware tags and $6 with out-of-state tags. Free admission passes will be available at the gate for pre-registered Take a Kid Fishing participants.
To ensure enough supplies are on hand for these free programs, pre-registration is required. To pre-register to participate in Take a Kid Fishing!, or for more information about the program or about volunteering as an instructor, please call Tess Belcher at 302-735-8656 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. To pre-register online, click Take A Kid Fishing.
Grandparents, parents, or others age 16 and older who wish to fish with the participants on Take a Kid Fishing days must have a current Delaware fishing license and a FIN number. A resident annual Delaware recreational fishing license, which covers fresh and tidal waters as well as crabbing and clamming, costs $8.50 for ages 16 through 64. Persons under the age of 16 and residents age 65 and older are not required to purchase fishing licenses in Delaware, although exempt persons may purchase fishing licenses and trout stamps if they so choose to help support fisheries management and trout stocking efforts.
Both resident and non-resident anglers age 16 and older also are required to obtain a Delaware Fisherman Information Network (FIN) number. The free number is included as part of a Delaware fishing license purchase. License-exempt anglers, including Delaware residents 65 and older, may visit www.delaware-fin.com or call 800-432-9228 toll-free to obtain their free FIN number.
To purchase a fishing license or stamps online, visit www.fw.delaware.gov/fisheries. Complete Delaware fishing information is available in the new 2013 Delaware Fishing Guide, available on the Fisheries website above or in printed form at license agents throughout the state.
The Take a Kid Fishing program is part of Delaware's Children in Nature Initiative, a statewide effort to improve environmental literacy in Delaware, create opportunities for children to participate in enriching outdoor experiences, combat childhood obesity and promote healthy lifestyles. Delaware's multi-agency initiative, which partners state and federal agencies with community organizations, is in conjunction with the national No Child Left Inside program.

•The secret to cool bodies and glazes is a lot of testing.
•The secret to know what to test is material and chemistry knowledge.

The only way you will ever get the glaze you really need is to formulate your own. The longer you stay on the glaze recipe treadmill the more time you waste.
The traffic in glaze recipes has had a net negative effect on Purse Chain Wedding Women Envelope Style Red Watermelon Large Leather Ardisle Clutch Evening Ladies Bag WqfAWgpH ceramics in education, hobby, and industry. Books and the internet are filled with recipes that are illogical and emphasize appearance at the expense of safety, practicality, or cost. 'Affairs' with these 'naked' (undocumented) recipes have left many numbed regarding their accountability and even ill equipped to recognize true quality. This trade in recipes is fostering a culture that runs counter to the idea of 'understanding' and controlling our materials and recipes, it breeds ignorance of oxide and material sciences and the true nature of the ceramic process. It deludes many into an 'easy-fix' mentality that seeks 'foolproof' solutions that end up being blind allies that waste years and teach nothing. Implied 'ethics' suggest that the traffic in recipes be accompanied by documentation to prove givers conscientious and by critical analysis and testing on the part of recipients willing to 'understand' and adjust. Weak, leachable, difficult-to-clean, crazed, shivered, Duck Bag x38cm Beach Shopping Tote French Gym Patronus litres HippoWarehouse 42cm 10 A Is My Navy qnfInzwa glazes hurt the reputation of the pottery and ceramic industry. It is time that a 'want-to-know-why' mindset toward Embroideredr Adjustable with Shoulder Flowers Embroideredr Strap Flowers White Removable Bag wBfqExTYting and adjusting glazes on the oxide and material level is fostered in students. It is time that a stigma is attached to joining the 'illicit trade' in recipes and using trial-and-error bull-in-a-china-shop approaches to glaze Embroideredr Adjustable with Shoulder Flowers Embroideredr Strap Flowers White Removable Bag wBfqExTYtion.
We recommend a 'base glaze with variations' starting model. As your understanding of a Glitter Bag Prom Clutch Women Hotstylezone Red Diamante Evening Party Envelope Wedding Shiny 5px8v improves over a period of years you can develop the ability to identify its mechanism and learn to transplant them into different bases. In this way you can minimize the number of base recipes you use. In addition, as you improve each base (e.g. its application properties, fired harness, fit adjustability, etc) all the variations based on it will inherit the improvements.
In education and pottery circles the trade in recipes has encouraged a 'roulette wheel' approach to choosing glazes and in big industry there is a brain-drain toward suppliers and consultants while many manufacturers are becoming more and more helpless. At Digitalfire Corporation we personify these dangerous trends and attitudes as 'The Dragon'. The dragon wants you to believe that casual potters are exempt from technical concerns. He fosters blissful attitudes that keep us on an endless treadmill of glaze recipe experimentation and disappointment or on suppliers that lack a connection to unique circumstances and customer specific problems. The dragon wants us to think that glaze Jones präsentiert Jennifer Brown Women's natural Bag ZMOKA® Shoulder von ZqZxdwv is too complicated and too much trouble.

The American Cancer Society is seeking volunteers for a 20-year study that hopes to reduce future cancer cases by discovering what factors contribute to the development of the disease.
Northwest Florida residents have one last opportunity to participate in a historic and potentially life-saving study.
The American Cancer Society is seeking volunteers for the 20-year Cancer Prevention Study-3. The study hopes to reduce cancer cases in the future by discovering what factors contribute to the development of the disease.
�(The scientists try) to discover cures, combinations, any common denominators, any factors that people might share that would develop cancer down the road,� said Cindy Davis, a volunteer for the American Cancer Society. �It�s really very, very vital to the research that�s going to be done and is being done on this disease.
�It�s a vital study,� Davis added. �When you think about it, it�s not only saving ourselves, but up the road our children, their children.�
The original Cancer Prevention Study conducted in the 1950s was the first one to link lung cancer to cigarettes. Cancer Prevention Study-2 started in 1982 and is ongoing.
Cancer Prevention Study-3 is open to anyone age 30 to 65 who has never been diagnosed with cancer. Everyone who is accepted in the study will donate blood at an upcoming signup and fill out a detailed survey on their lifestyle and their family medical history. For the next 20 years, each participant will update their surveys once every two to three years.
If a participant is diagnosed with cancer later, his or her blood sample will be pulled to be studied and compared to other people diagnosed to look for clues of what might have caused the disease.
The study requires 300,000 participants. About 180,000 had signed up by the end of 2012.
The final round of enrollment in Northwest Florida will be from 7 to 11 a.m. March 14 at Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast in Miramar Beach. Additional signups will take place through March 22 at West Florida Hospital, Baptist Hospital, Woodlands Medical Specialist and Gulf Breeze Hospital.
Lori Perkins at the Cancer Society�s Pensacola office said 800 people from Northwest Florida have signed up for Cancer Prevention Study-3 since 2007. The goal for the March enrollment is to sign up at least 500 more volunteers.
Davis is coordinating a kickoff event for the enrollment Jan. 24 in Pensacola, and is looking for people to become �community champions� for the study. Each community champion who attends the event will commit to recruiting at least 10 people to participate in the study.
To become a community champion, contact Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information on the Cancer Prevention Study-3, visit cancer.org/cps3 or email cps3@cancer org.

Bellman carts are so versatile. These tools can be used in hotels, resorts, moving businesses, and even your home. To find out more about these carts, read further below.
The idea of moving excites you a lot. You will move to a new home with a fresh atmosphere. However, the activity of packing and moving all your stuff kills all your excitement away. Who would be glad in carrying and lifting stuff? This would only bring you muscle strains, back aches and even sweat! You hate carrying your heavy luggage but you can't afford to make someone else carry it for you. No need to fret. The bellman carts are there for you.
Bellman carts? What are they anyway? These are moving handling equipment, a type of tool that solves your moving problems. A bellman cart is a wheeled handy piece of equipment. It can either be a four-wheel cart or a six-wheel cart. On top of the wheels is its platform or deck which is attached securely in place. This cart is also engineered with tough side rails and a handle to grip on.
If you worry about tiring your arms from carrying your suitcases and luggage, you can just put them on the cart's deck and exert some little push. There you go. Your moving has become easier with this easy to push bellman cart. Aside from that, you can purchase this cart at any style you like from your store's wide range of cart choices. Hotel Luggage Carts may be made out of different types of materials, specifically metals. These carts can be made from solid brass, stainless steel and even aluminum.
Aside from moving, you can use hotel doorman carts at your leisure time. We all love spending outdoor picnics. We have our basket of food prepared and boxes of wine and juice. You don't have to carry that entire load with just your arm. You can use a stainless steel cart or even the aluminum one. These types of carts are ideal to use outdoors because they can withstand extreme moisture and exposure to air. These carts can withstand more of the weather changes when they have a satin finish. A satin finish coats the entire cart, thus making it more durable and less sensitive to weather changes.
In most hotels you will also find a grand piano in the lobby. They will usually employ some kind of piano moving equipment to be able to move it around as needed.
We all know that solid brass types rust easily when used outdoors. However, the solid brass type exhibits a more traditional look. So if you want a cart that looks classic, purchase a solid brass type instead. You can use the solid brass cart for delivering breakfast in bed. You can also use it for carrying your shopping bags. Just be careful not to expose it at moisture because it might rust. Always keep it dry and clean.
With all the benefits mentioned above, what are you waiting for? Get your very own bellman cart at http://handtrucks2go.com/Bellman-Carts/. You will never regret it.

School district's plan to use 'cloud' storage for student data invites disaster
Jefferson County Schools has decided to put all student personal information in a national database called "inBloom." It has done this secretly without any prior input from parents and taxpayers.
Residents still should monitor fire board's actions
Veterans deserve a statue that depicts the reality of combat
To all those who dare to bring about a controversy about the statue of a soldier holding a rifle at the veterans memorial, I have this to say:
A doggone selfless citizen recovers woman's lost wallet
Who knew taking Boudicca to the beauty shop would cause so much trouble?
The Dykeman family says thanks
Thanks to volunteer firefighters for quick response in saving chicken coop
We are so grateful to our volunteer fire department. Our chicken house caught fire, and when we noticed smoke, we called them. At the same time, two volunteer firefighters saw the smoke from the highway and arrived immediately. Within a few minutes, multiple fire trucks and many volunteers arrived on the scene.
Volunteers want a fire board that will support their sacrifices
What do the volunteer firefighters want?
I have personally been asked this question by countless Evergreen citizens who know my involvement against the recall. For those that know me personally, you know I am passionate about safety and training.
Our volunteers spend more than 10,000 hours per year training. This training building will provide:
'No-recall' fliers misrepresent intentions of the recall candidates
By the time the community reads this, mail-in ballots for the fire board recall election should have arrived and, if not, in the next day or two.
Thanks for help with fund-raiser
The ladies of the Colorado Foothills Chapter of the National Charity League sincerely thank Diane and Alan Florschuetz, owners of the Muddy Buck, for hosting our first Evergreen's Got Talent, which raised money for Operation Homefront.
Thanks also to Mike Ulery, owner of Quality Pest Control, who volunteered his time as sound technician for a very busy and fun evening. The night was a great success, thanks to everyone who donated their time, talent and hard-earned money to support this important cause.
Colorado Foothills Chapter,

It will take more than 70 years for there to be the same number of women as men in leadership roles, a new US study forecasts.
At the current rate of growth, this number will not be on par until the year 2085, according to a new study by the Women's College at the University of Denver in conjunction with the White House Project.
Although women consistently outperform their male counterparts, they're not being recognised for senior leadership positions as often as men.
The study says that although women consistently outperform their male counterparts, they're not being recognised for senior leadership positions as often as men.
"The reasons have to do with unconscious bias, the persistence of exclusionary networks and opportunities, and work-family barriers," Deborah Rhode, director of the Stanford Center on the Legal Profession told The Daily Beast website. "While we've made enormous progress in encouraging women to assume traditional men's roles, we haven't made comparable progress in encouraging men to take on traditional women's roles.
"You still find men much less likely to take time out of the workforce to assume primary responsibility for child care, elder care and dealing with emergencies. Even high-achieving women are still assuming the major responsibility in the home for family, and that limits their progress in the world outside the family."
We asked Tiffani Lennon, Chair of the Law & Society Deparecortment at the Women's College and research lead on the study, how she and her team arrived at this date.
"The research organisation Catalyst assessed that for women on boards, it will be about 73 years to be on par with men, and I looked at that and began to calculate, not just women on business boards and in Fortune 500 companies, but across all sectors," Lennon says. "This is assuming that everything stays the same and the growth in women's leadership continues along the same track that it's been for 30 years. So I took that 30-year trend and I applied those trends in the future. And it's pretty much true across the board, and in some cases, that's pretty conservative."
Lennon hopes that the study empowers and ignites people to speed up the rate of growth of women in leadership roles. She says one step in the right direction is to "ensure that your [company's] promotional practices are based upon performance", as opposed to more subjective measures.
"Everybody wins. And quite frankly, I think we would see a tremendous jump in women leaders since the data shows that women are outperforming men."

Engineers from Nitsch Engineering, employed by Raynham Park, have said that the first two phases of development at the park would not exceed the demands of the water district.
The North Raynham Water District wants more information on the development plans behind the proposed "Parx Raynham" slot casino to prepare for potential expansion of the water supply.
"We are putting them on notice that they do need to talk to us sooner than later," said Arthur Bendinelli, the superintendent of the North Raynham Water District. "There are still a lot of questions from my end."
Bendinelli said that the water district, which is a separate entity from the town, has not been involved with much discussion with the casino developers.
Bendinelli said that while infrastructure improvements are apparently covered in the host community agreement – which Raynham voters would need to approve in an election on Aug. 13, before the state Gaming Commission could award the developers with the state's sole slot license – the water district hopes to have details on future phase of the casino's expansion to start preparing if additional water is needed.
"The town made this agreement with them, and I guess it's supposed to be cut and dry. They paid for everything, but nobody has come to us and seen what they could need from us," Bendinelli said. "If you look at what they are putting up for numbers for the amount of water they are going to need, it will surpass what we are allowed to withdraw from a (state) permit standpoint. We are going to have to look at potentially drawing from another source."
Bendinelli said that, "originally they were talking 125,000 gallons a day" at the full build-out of the proposed gaming destination, through Phases 3 and 4, including a hotel and restaurants, along with possible additions like a nightclub, movie theater or bowling alley. But since then, he's received different figures from the developer and the town's casino impact consultant.
Engineers from Nitsch Engineering, employed by Raynham Park, have said that the first two phases of development at the park would not exceed the demands of the water district.
A spokesman for the developers said that during these stages of development, which include the construction of a new 175,000-square-foot building to house 1,250 slot machines, would be "less water usage when the dogs were running."
The North Raynham Water District has 1,400 customers, in the northern section of Raynham where the Parx Raynham site is located. The district draws from several gravel packed wells and one bedrock well, all located south of Interstate 495 in Raynham, with the water coming originally from the Taunton River Basin.
The water district said it currently draws an average of 123 million to 132 million gallons on a yearly basis.
Bendinelli said the district already has another potential source on Broadway in Raynham, which was already bought and paid for through the Department of Environmental Protection.
The district would just have to go through a state permitting process to pull additional water, and then build a supply line to the source, but all this takes time and preparation, he said.
Bendinelli said the North Raynham Water District would be more than happy to accommodate the Parx Raynham project.
He explained that additional revenue from the slot casino could benefit district customers and have a beneficial effect for property values.
"I'd love to supply them everything they'd want," Bendinelli said. "It'd be great for the district. We'd get some income. We could lower the rates of residents in the Raynham Water District. All residents would have their property values go up. ... If they will pay, fine. But we need to do know what has to be done to meet their water demand."

Business owners are calling for revisions to La Grange's sign ordinance, arguing that city council's incentive to preserve the historic look of the area is compromising the future of the economy and comes with a price for businesses already existing in the city. In May, council members unanimously approved an ordinance to ban pole signs, neon lighting and banners.

ON MENTAL ILLNESS: The Effects of Quitting Medication Against Medical Advice
When a person with schizophrenia takes antipsychotic medication over time, it is possible that he or she may develop a tolerance to these drugs. A well-known doctor (whose name I will not mention) claims that certain prescription drugs produce the very diseases they are intended to treat. (I'm assuming he meant that this is because they create a tolerance.) This doesn't mean that someone with severe psychosis shouldn't be medicated-such a person is in trouble and needs the help of the medicine.
Don't get me wrong, I advocate taking medication when it is needed; failing to take needed medication can cause dire results. The disease could progress unchecked, and the sufferer's behavior can entail danger to them and to innocent bystanders. Readers should not infer from this article that I am adopting an anti-medication position.
Having a schizophrenic illness means that I need medication. If my innate psychosis is combined with the backlash of going off the medication, (if I were to quit taking it against medical advice) the double whammy of that is like being hit by a tsunami. It is not a pleasant experience. The relapse in my case comes quickly (but for many people happens gradually, over months). The relapse can bring a massive flood of symptoms that include extreme distress, delusional thoughts, voices, images, tactile hallucinations and a disconnection from my external environment. When it happens, it is clear that something is wrong.
For someone in my situation, it is pure folly to try to quit medication against medical advice.
Every time I try to quit medications, the ensuing rebound and psychotic episode will cause me to lose more brain power. This successive loss of brain which is caused by psychotic relapses eventually takes its toll on a person's mind. This could be one reason for the stereotype that persons with mental illness are dull-witted, or are a child in the body of an adult. (Yet it is upsetting to me and other "sharp" persons with mental illness when we are prejudged as lacking mental development when often this is not accurate.)
Many persons who suffer from schizophrenia have difficulty learning from their mistakes. Schizophrenia robs a person of their judgment and of normal brain function. Thus, when the brain is (one hopes, temporarily) out of commission, the sufferer can not be counted upon to understand what is needed. That's one reason why schizophrenia is such an awful disease.
Once a person has been on antipsychotic medication for a while, it will probably become impracticable to go off med's. This is one reason why, very importantly, an assessment by a doctor must be accurate. You don't want to medicate someone unnecessarily, yet, you don't want to deprive a person of medication when it is needed.
When someone has been taking antipsychotic medication a while, then discontinues it against medical advice, and then relapses, it is hard to know how much of the relapse is due to withdrawing from medication, and how much of the relapse is merely the illness. I have seen numerous people try to quit medication, and it seems to be almost universal that as a result, they have a severe relapse.
A gradual weaning off of antipsychotic medication seems to have no advantage over going cold turkey-the relapse will still probably happen and can be just as bad (or can be worse due to the longer time span of being borderline symptomatic.)
Acceptance, in the Buddhist sense, has a role for people who need to deal with this. If, by meditative techniques, a person with mental illness can accept their situation on an emotional level, then they can proceed in their life without being stuck on the same issue. Meditative practices don't cure mental illness but they can help a person cope with their situation.
The tsunami of symptoms caused by stoppage of medication is to be avoided. When uncertain as to how to proceed, a psychiatrist is a good person to talk to. Also, if unhappy with what a psychiatrists says, one can always get a second or third opinion.

When selling your house, try to look at your house as a potential buyer would. Think about what originally compelled you to buy the house in the first place, and look for those cues to leverage potential buyers. Treat every showing as you would when entertaining guests -- while it's cumbersome to maintain that level of living while waiting for an offer to be made, it could drastically affect the way a potential buyer views your house as their next home. Here are a few tips to make note of for showings:
Follow these steps for your house to look its best for broker previews, buyer showings and open houses. Home enhancements can more than pay for themselves in stronger offers from buyers. Remember; look at your house through the buyers' eyes.

DALLAS/FORT WORTH, TEXAS, USA – Qatar Airways yesterday commenced daily, non-stop services between the newly unveiled Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Doha and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The new route increases Qatar Airways' extensive global network to seven gateways within the United States and 144 destinations worldwide.
Dallas/Fort Worth becomes Qatar Airways' second destination in Texas, representing the airline's enduring commitment to the region. Along with Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth will serve as a crucial junction between Qatar Airways' global network, via Doha, and other key destinations across the Southwestern USA, including Austin, San Antonio and Oklahoma City, through its oneworld alliance partners.
"We are delighted to welcome Dallas/Fort Worth into our expanding global network," said Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer, His Excellency, Mr. Akbar Al Baker. "We are particularly pleased to begin serving the home city of our oneworld alliance partner American Airlines. Together, we can provide North Texas and the surrounding region with unparalleled service and better connections to Doha and around the world."
Qatar Airways' maiden flight from Doha to Dallas/Fort Worth QR733, arrives to a traditional water salute welcome.
Qatar Airways' Boeing 777 is pictured on arrival at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
Dallas/Fort Worth is a world centre for major American corporations, including Justin Boots, Texas Instruments, Frito Lay and AT&T. The region is also home to major oil and gas companies, including Exxon Mobil.
"Our partnership with Qatar Airways and today's inaugural flight from Doha is exciting for the Airport and the millions of passengers we serve. Dallas/Fort Worth customers now have nonstop access to a new destination in the Gulf Region," said Sean Donohue, DFW Airport's Chief Executive Officer. "DFW is an integral economic driver to the region and this new nonstop service will add approximately $200 million annually to our economy."
The new route flies daily between Dallas/Fort Worth and Doha, departing from Doha at 8:10am and arriving into Dallas/Fort Worth at 3:35pm the same day. Overnight service to Doha departs Dallas/Fort Worth at 8:00pm and lands in Doha at 6:20pm the following day. The route is operated with a Boeing 777-200LR configured with 217 Economy Class seats and 42 Business Class seats.
Outbound passengers to Doha will enjoy fast, convenient connections to key destinations throughout the world, including Delhi, Beijing, Tokyo, Bangkok and Perth, via the world's newest international hub, Hamad International Airport.

Looking at the Bright Side in the Face of Overwhelming Side Effects From HIV Meds
Part of the Series Other Sides of HIV: People Taking HIV Meds Share Stories About Side Effects
I am a 35-year-old male who was diagnosed in 2004. I'm on darunavir [Prezista], ritonavir [Norvir] and Kivexa [abacavir/lamivudine, Epzicom]. Long-term side effects I have had are the following: peripheral neuropathy, nocturnal grand mal epilepsy, severe episodes of depression, fatigue, memory loss, high cholesterol, cognitive problems, sleep problems and vivid dreams, sexual dysfunction problems and chronic pain issues.
I am now on the following medications: Vensir XL (venlafaxine) 225 mg for depression, Tramadol SR [tramadol hydrochloride] 200 mg twice a day for severe pain, Keppra (levetiracetam) 500 mg twice a day for sleep seizures, diazepam 2 mg three times a day for muscle spasms, zolpidem tartrate 10 mg as a sleep aid, Lyrica (pregabalin) 300 mg twice day for neuropathy and atorvastatin 10 mg for cholesterol.
Since being diagnosed, my life has been like a roller coaster of highs and very bad lows. It took me a good few years to get my head around it, and to get my health back on track from having pneumonia a few months into treatment. My CD4 count was very low. Ten years later, and I'm still here to tell the tale, but it has been a hard road at times!
My mental health suffered a lot from the stigma and lack of education people still have. What confuses me is if someone has cancer, everybody feels a sense of sadness and sympathy, but when you tell them you are HIV positive (and undetectable at that!), you can see the horror and sense of fear surrounding their actions. I have a good family and friend support network, but I never want to burden people with my woes, so I always put a brave face on and hide behind a mask I have become somewhat accustomed to.
I do have a lovely partner that supports me fully, which has been a breath of fresh air to me in the making. I do not take anything for granted anymore and live my life to the best of my abilities. We all get bad days from time to time, but sometimes, side effects on your body can drain your energy levels to empty. My key is, if your body is tired, take a nap! Sometimes an hour can feel like 10 hours of sleep. Plus, going to the gym has really helped me mentally, physically and getting some confidence back that I had lost over the years.

Fraggle Imperator HK's fox on typewriters Tuesday 11/04/2006, 18:54
Hi again,
Soon we will redesign completly the star system (next to the player
nickname in the game online player's list). We will give the details later
but you will get you first star right now if you have purchased some
credits at the Shop in the last 31 days.
A new ranking/tournament system will be introduce as well very soon.
Open to level 20 players, you will need to have your deck "valid" to
play (valid will mean : no doubles and specific cards will be forbidden).
If you fit thoses criteria, you will see a little "pillz" next to your name in
the online players list.
If you challenge someone else with a little "pillz" icon, the fight result
will count for the new ranking system.
It is based on the same ELO rating as in chess, so you will earn more
points by defeating some higher rank than you (and lose less if you
lose the fight).
This ranking will so be dynamic and only the bests will be able to show
the world their talents

Arrangements have been made for Rex Neal Van de Putte, the infant grandson of Sen. Leticia Van de Putte who died suddenly on Tuesday.
The cause and manner of Rex's death have not yet been determined, according to the Travis County Medical Examiner's office, but Lakeway police Chief Todd Radford has said that there was no foul play suspected.
Radford said Rex was born prematurely and had some medical issues, but declined to elaborate.
The sixth grandchild of Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, Rex was nearly six months old on Tuesday morning, when police were called to his parent's home on Gebron Drive. First responders conducted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but Rex died at the scene, Radford said.
"Baby Rex gave us a lifetime of love during his short time on earth," an obituary read.
A viewing is set for 5 p.m. Friday at St. Austin's Catholic Church, at 2026 Guadalupe St. in Austin, and a Rosary will be recited at 6 p.m., officiated by Deacon Billy Atkins and Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., D-Brownsville. The funeral will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday, also at St. Austin's Catholic Church, with a private burial to follow.
Donations in Rex's honor may be made to Southwest SIDS Research Organization.
