"If you could go back and do it all over again, would you be more active and try to make changes for the better? If so, what would those changes be?" - Shawn Kearney '15
"I would have studied. I would have attended classes more often. I would have climbed our famous mountain. I would have eaten healthier and moved my butt so those extra 40 pounds didn't add on. I AM grateful for all these wonderful pals I met 30 years ago...and the friendships that continue to grow." – Maddy Huppert '88
"Someone told me my freshmen year to take advantage of everything the campus had to offer. Participate in clubs, go on trips, volunteer, and join organizations. I was part of TV shows, the fire department, reality check, I tutored, I was part of Hillel, I worked at the bookstore, and so much more... And I wouldn't redo anything. I look back at franklin pierce and it provided me everything. I guess if I had not known that I would have regretted it. And by the way, study abroad. I went to Vienna. That was one of the best times of my life." – Adam Saada '10
"I'd do it all over again, except this time I'd never graduate, move on, or grow a day older!!"– Geoffrey Caldwell '04
"I would've stayed active as an alum to insure the 21 Club stayed open." – Patty Gorine-Thebeau '80
"STAY!" -- Adrienne Wright
"Study abroad." – Meghan Graf '11
"Drama club for sure. Always been in the back of my mind as something I wanted to do." – Michelle Barbeau '11 & '13
"I would have studied abroad. The Walk or Vienna. That's the only regret." – Greg Marcus Scott '07
"I was very active in student activities, did an internship coordinating the student clubs on campus, did a year with the on campus radio and the theatre as well. So I don't know that I would be more active in that respect. Having said that, I can tell you two things... #1. I work with high school student leaders all over the state, and I watch them grow and mature into responsible, caring adults because of their leadership experiences. It's helped them get into college and get scholarships as well. And #2... I hire people for entry level positions and have often hired recent college graduates - because of their leadership work either in clubs, sports, or extracurricular activities. As a supervisor/manager, I would much rather have a new hire that got C's and B's and was active in other things, than someone who got straight A's and did nothing of substance outside of their schoolwork. As for anything I would have done differently.... I would have gotten involved in more social activism on a wider scale outside of school." – A'Lisa Tello'83

No matter what anyone tells you, there is no reason to ever think you're too grown up to run shrieking round a waterpark like an excited child (who's also had a six pack and a joint the size of a small dog). Here are five to show off your "lying down while moving quite quickly downhill" skills.
Schlitterbahn, New Braunfels, TX
As Shakespeare once allegedly said when talking of the New World, "Damn, Schlitterbahn don't fuck about, boy!" The 17 water slides (three of which also take you uphill) include The Falls – the world's longest waterpark ride – and Dragon's Revenge, which as well as probably being a Guy Fieri restaurant somewhere, is "a special-effect family-thrill ride adventure", which presumably means there's a mechanical plastic dragon involved. We are not ashamed to say that this prospect excites us.
Typhoon Lagoon, Orlando, FL
Where other people see a lightning-speared swamp full of alligators and mosquitoes and say, "Let's build a maximum security prison here", Disney announce, "Here! Here is where we shall build our child-friendly theme park!" Hence, Orlando becoming a tourist hotspot, and the wonder that is Typhoon Lagoon, a waterpark that gets on this list not just for its slides, but the fact it lets you snorkel with reef sharks, which is surprisingly badass. Also, we're not going to say anything bad about the place because Disney has more lawyers than us.
Splish Splash, Long Island, NY
If you're in the not-guaranteed-to-be-warm-or-actually-sanitary part of the east coast, try Long Island's Splish Splash. Boasting a load of effects-heavy rides, it's a fun way to say you spent the day floating in murky water in New York without actually having your body dumped in the Hudson. Expect a giant shark, a pitch-black tunnel with a 40-foot drop and an "out of control spin" – and that's just on the drive there!
Noah's Ark, Milwaukee, WI
America's biggest waterpark is home to 49 rides and two huge wave pools. It's also home to the most Blaxsploitation movie titled rides anywhere in the world – thrill to the funky adventures of Black Thunder! Never talk back to the sexy double team of Dark Voyage and Jungle Rapids! Don't let your woman stroke the Black Anaconda! Aaaand so on.
Wilderness Territories, Wisconsin Dells, WI
What is it about Wisconsin and waterparks? The state also has America's largest indoor waterpark, so if it's raining out, you've still got somewhere to go (why rain would stop someone going to a waterpark is yet to be discovered). Actually a collection of three huge parks, it's a good place to go if you're the kind of person who forgets to put on sun cream (or pants).

- One of my favsOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/19/2014Mitchell's is a great restaurant for an evening out!Special Features:
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/13/2014My wife and I decided to visit for a date night and we both really enjoyed our selections. We both felt the prices were fair and would definitely visit again!Special Features:
- A New FavoritecasualdinerDined on 9/13/2014Went to Mitchell's to celebrate my dad turning 90 yo this year. I made reservations and we were seated fairly quickly. The waitress, Tasha (I think), was very friendly. The food was good - the scallops the best. The noise level was perfect for my three kids - not too quiet like a library but not too noisy like a crowded bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food good, place smells like a barnSometimesSleeplessDined on 9/12/2014The first, and very noticeable distraction while at this restaurant, was the very wierd, horsey-stable smell that permeated this place. If the weather had been warmer, we would have definitely requested that we be moved to the outdoor tables. Next, we didnt feel that our server was very knowledgeable of enough of the menu items to help us make a decision for our food choices. Finally, we expected much more experience with the wines in a place of this caliber. Because of the amateur level of service, it further diminished our dining experience. At least the food was excellent.Special Features:
- JeeCeeDined on 9/12/2014Great lunch spot. Christine and Jennifer were both fantastic. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!AngelmomDined on 9/7/2014Enjoyed seeing all the different ways your fresh fish can be prepared. The cedar plank salmon with sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese was delicious. Also enjoyed at our table was the grilled tilapia and the fish and chips. Ate on the patio, and our service was excellent! Definitely coming back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EXcellent food.SilverstormDined on 9/5/2014Lobster tails were perfectly cooked and fish dish was too. Everything was hot and well prepared. Very good food and drinks were chilled well.Service started well but seemed to forget us at meals end.Special Features:
- Delicious fishimwriterDined on 9/4/2014We really enjoyed our dinner and it was a good value.
- No lobster tails !MikSakDined on 8/24/2014We went on Sunday evening for this visit, unfortunately Mitchell's was out of lobster tails. When I mentioned to our server that that was the reason we came that night her first response was"it's not my fault". I never blamed her. My wife noted that our server seemed to cater to me because she thought I was paying the bill (I was). She also seemed to forget things. We sat on the patio which was nice but I would not recommend it if it was a hot sunny evening. While we could hear some traffic the noise, it was muted. I ordered my usual crab cakes and my wife ordered a tilapia, both were very good. Yes we will return, probably not on a Sunday evening.Special Features:
- FRESHOpenTable Diner Since 2001VIPDined on 8/24/2014Very fresh fish; great service. We had the sable fish, delicious! good sides. Potatoes were pasty tho.
- New Owner = Higher PricesNeedmoroneyDined on 8/23/2014Since being taken over by Ruth Chris steakhouse the prices really went up noticeably!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Birthday dinner ever!MikeylikesitDined on 8/21/2014I spent a considerable amount of time searching the internet for high end seafood restaurants and came across Mitchells at a suggestion of my daughter. The occasion was my 68th Birthday and I wanted lobster. After checking out menu on line I made the reservation on a Thursday evening. We had wonderful service, drinks and food for a memorable evening. Mussels, Caesar salad, 3 lobster tails each (they were on sale as a limited time special) prepared expertly with asparagus and smashed redskins. Mentioning my birthday my waiter offered a complementary crème Brule which I had never had before but is my new favorite dessert. The experience was awesome in a very comfortable booth. I won't wait for a birthday to go back it was memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceBobMVIPDined on 8/19/2014We had a great time. Our server, Shaylee as very great. The food was cooked perfect. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- Great fish, good dealsAdoptedMichiganderDined on 8/19/2014We come often to this place and the food is always delicious, great fresh fish. Twice we've had the lobster specials and it is a pretty good deal. It is a little pricey, though, for the actual food you get, but overall really good. The only bad comment I have is that our initial waiter decided to stop servicing our table and another waitress had to take over. She was really honest and said "they just told me to take over", I was with a group of 5, including some seniors and I believe the waiter was being rude and inpatient. In any case, the new waitress was excellent and really nice with all of us. She earned her tip.Special Features:
- DisappointingBKfoodieDined on 8/15/2014The choice I made - Blackened Tilapia really was a scrawny piece of fish with slightly warm potatoes and dried vegetables - seemed to have been under the warming lamps too long. My wife's experience was the same. Not the best experience I have had at Mitchell's and we had three guests with us so, a little underwhelming.Special Features:
- Our Favorite place for special timeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/14/2014We wouldn't go anywhere else when we want fish or seafoodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PNK1Dined on 8/8/2014We expreience consistently good food! And great service.Special Features:
- Celebration Destinationanne1214Dined on 8/3/2014Wonderful experience! We are two couples celebrating wedding anniversaries on the same day, and we were given a nice treat for our anniversary. As usual, the meal was fantastic and the service was excellent.Special Features:
- deliciousavl3Dined on 8/2/2014great atmosphere & outstanding food! I would highly recommend Mitchell's to friends!Special Features:
- Special!hikerrnDined on 8/2/2014Went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Nice touch to be given a token rose and dessert for this occasion. Had sea bass and spouse had scallops. Both dishes were excellent! Will go again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Service & SelectionsOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/25/2014Met friends for dinner last night. Choices were good and the service was good. Three out of the four meals were hot, one was barely warm. The staff tried to fix the problem but the meal still has warm. The only tried reheating the food and it didn't really work. The manager did apologize but we didn't have time to have them attempt to fix it again. Overall a good experience and we will return.Special Features:
- pleasedDined on 7/24/2014crab cakes a little too salty. can always add but can't subtract.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great lunch meet upkmo13Dined on 7/21/2014Great atmosphere and great food. The services was very good / attentive, without being overly so.Special Features:
- garyDined on 7/20/2014I was disappointed. I selected the Lobster and beef tenderloins. The lobster looked like a large shrimp (yes it was that small). The beef was overcooked on the outside and raw on the inside. It was the most chewy steak I have eaten in a long time. The staff stood next to our table chatting. Waiter was cleaning up the floor next to us with a broom and dust pan. It was my birthday and i was expecting a more positive experience The portions were small and EXPENSIVE. One bright spot was the carrot cake. I will not be back!
- One of our favoritesFavoriteDined on 7/19/2014This is one of our all time favorites! Great food, service and atmosphere!Special Features:
- Aniversery DinnerBobinmichDined on 7/19/20143 of us had scallops in various ways. The scallops were dry, small, rubbery, and over done. Not terrible but easily not worth the price.
- Delicious SeafoodSincerelyLDined on 7/18/2014We enjoyed appetizers, entrees and drinks served very professionally by our waitress, however, I was very disappointed with our seating. We were at a four top on the floor on wooden chairs which felt extremely tacky. I will refuse to be seated at such a set up next time. For such high prices, I think the tables need to offer MUCH BETTER seating to enjoy the experience for the prices. Food was excellent, no issue there, but I want to feel special and your table/chair set ups are awful. Need leather chairs, maybe linens would help.Special Features:
- DISAPPOINTEDNOTATMITCHELLSDined on 7/18/2014WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE FOOD AND THE SERVICE WAS ALSO POOR . I MUST SAY I FEEL IT IS VERY OVERRATED AND I WOULD NOT RETURN AND I WILL MAKE SURE I TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO AVOID EATING AT MITCHELLSSpecial Features:
- Solid for all types of tastesLARSPAWNDined on 7/12/2014Good choice at step just below "fine dining". Bar is a quiet rendezvous site.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just OKcdnreviewDined on 7/12/2014My fish was under cooked .... sent back to finish cookingSpecial Features:
- seefoodeatitDined on 7/11/2014There are many excellent food choices. Once we picked were excellently done and we enjoyed themSpecial Features:
- Great Saturday night dinnerRobertDined on 7/5/2014Was seated as soon as we arrived at our 7pm reservation. I had the twin lobster tails and my date had the 6oz filet. Both were outstanding as well and the wine and beers we each ordered. Prices are a little high, but not over the top for the food and service you receive. We also shared the key lime pie which also was incredible. Great date night dinner, will go back again.Special Features:
- Diner ExperienceLooking4moreDined on 7/4/2014The meal was disappointing the lobster tails although on sale were small and tough. The cod serving was small compared to our last visit the three spears of asparagus did not really equate to a serving. I understand that prices have gone up but the dinners we had seemed to be much smaller compared to prior visitsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New ExperiencebrithdaylunchDined on 6/27/2014It was my sister birthday and she wanted fish, have never been here before. We all went for lunch and it was a pleasant experience. Sat on the patio and everyone thought their lunches were great. Would definitely go again.Special Features:
- GeneDined on 6/23/2014Monday Night lobster special was disappointing and a poor value. The two tails were minuscule and tough. The sides were good. The Tuesday surf and turf at D'Amato's is a much better deal. i
- EnjoyableMetrofinefoodieDined on 6/22/2014My husband and I went here for lunch on our anniversary and was pleasantly surprised. The menu was wonderful and the cocktails were amazing. Our waitress wasn't as attentive as I felt she should've been. Everyone, is entitled to an off day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still wonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/21/2014Mitchell's is always great, and this time was no exception. The Shanghai shrimp, salmon, and scallops really hit the spot...Special Features:
- Great date placePaulGDined on 6/21/2014I really enjoyed my visit Saturday night for a very special date. We had reservations and were offered our seating promptly, even after asking for a few minutes to finish conversation and drinks at the bar. Our server, Heather, was a gem. We asked for a very slow pace, as we wanted to enjoy a long evening, and she obliged, managing to stop by to refill drinks and take orders on a perfect schedule. We arrived about 7:15 and left at 11:30, well after close, and not one person made us feel rushed. Great job, highly recommend. As for food - recommend any of the fish dishes with their new Island Jerk preparation, absolutely delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always excellentDrMinisterDined on 6/21/2014Mitchell's Rochester ALWAYS delivers a fine dining experience. Dawn is an expert server. The restaurant's ambiance is incredible. And... the food? Always delectable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I had originally planned on making prints of these for a show, but then when I was finished, I realized Olly Moss had already done a very similar concepts for some posters already, only about a billion times better than these. Oh well. So I decided to make some printable greeting/thank you/birthday/all-purpose cards out of them and share them here. Enjoy!

SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (AP) — On their honeymoon near Heber Springs, Ark., they started to dream — someday they'd open a high-end restaurant and bar.
The atmosphere would be casual and the food and service would be excellent.
At each restaurant they visited for a meal, they made plans — years and years of plans.
"We made little notes," Donna Wadford said.
And then the day came that they opened their own restaurant, but it wasn't just a place to eat.
It was a place to smoke. They created a cigar bar — the only one, vendors told them, in the state of Mississippi.
Wadford's Grill & Bar, 474 Church Road East near the Interstate 55 overpass in Southaven, celebrated a year open in May.
"Everywhere you go in DeSoto County, everything is the same," said Tracy Skelton, 42, reclined on a couch in the cigar room. "This is just a little bit different."
Wadford, 47, cut her teeth on Donna's Grill in Olive Branch. After closing it, she moved into the Southaven market. The new restaurant is at least double capacity.
Wadford and her husband of 15 years, Glen, "love the beach" so they brought it into the restaurant.
The wall colors mimic blue skies and tan beaches. Décor includes a boat paddle, a swordfish and starfish.
A lot of the food also harks back to the water. Entree offerings include a fish of the day, the ever-popular catfish plate and shrimp.
The restaurant also offers burgers and other sandwiches, soups and salads, desserts, a martini menu and a wine selection.
A separate room is set aside for private parties or for patrons who want to sit in nonsmoking. Customers may choose from a table or a seat at the bar. Or they may want to walk through the doors of the cigar room, equipped with a walk-in humidor that keeps 124 varieties of cigars at 70 percent humidity and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
"It's enjoyed like wine," said Skelton, who enjoyed a stogie with friends before heading home to Hernando.
Sherri Ingram, 57, of Southaven, soaked in the company of the cigar room but raved about the food.
"The food is excellent," she said. "I don't care what you order. This is our favorite place. We were here the first night it opened."
While Donna Wadford enjoys only the occasional cigar, her husband is more regular about it. His enjoyment of them motivated the Wadfords to include the cigar room.
Being chosen by people's ballot for Best of Service at Taste of DeSoto this past winter signaled to the Wadfords that all that dreaming was worthwhile.
"Only being open less than nine months — I was elated to be recognized," Donna Wadford said.

Media Bias: Only White Kids Get Abducted
What do JonBenet Ramsey, Madeleine McCann, Elizabeth Smart and Polly Klaas all have in common? They are all girls who have been abducted -- or in the most tragic cases, killed -- and they are all attractive white girls. Strikingly, the other similarity is all of their stories got massive play in the media during darkest days of their disappearance.
The media has always seemed to only be interested in covering stories of white children who go missing -- and pretty ones at that. Currently, Caylee Anthony fits that profile: doe-eyed with a winning smile. Despite ourselves when we first heard her story many of us thought, "Oh it's so sad, she's such a pretty little girl."
But pretty and white are not the only children in peril, and are not the only ones who should have our attention. Nearly 800,000 children under the age of 18 are reported missing each year in the United States, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Of those reported missing, 33% are African-American. So where's the 24/7 coverage of their stories?
Websites like Missing And Exploited Children and The Child Connection have much more racially integrated roster of missing children reflecting the true statistics. Unfortunately, websites do not have the immense reach of CNN and Fox news.
"Of the hundreds of thousand children that go missing each year, probably four or five get significant national media attention," Ernie Allen, President of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children tells momlogic. "It's just another missing kid to the them unless the cases are dramatic and sensational."
And there's another startling factor: "In many, many cities going back 50, 75 years or more, journalists would refer to 'good murders' and 'bad murders,'" explains, Roy Peter Clark, Vice president of the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in St. Petersburg, Florida.
"Good murders" -- murders that make good press -- are usually white girls from middle class families. "The example of a bad murder would be the murder of an African-American person from a poor neighborhood," says Clark.
This is a very interesting story and an issue that I haven't really thought about — even as an African American woman. It's sickening that some journos would consider ANY abduction as good or bad press. It just shows how calloused we can be as a people.
It's sad. I think a missing child should be front page regardless of color, race, backround. I would say that's more important than most things in the news.
I also think this is sad. I can tell you that just yesterday, we had a five year old black child missing from Virgina and the Amber Alert was put out for him and by this morning the police was able to locate him because someone in D.C. saw the boy on TV and then saw the women who had taken him from the store and calle the police. I went to bed last night and prayed for his safe return and was relieved when I hear this morning of his return. I think the Amber Alert is what saved him. I think all children no matter what their skin color is or if they come from "good families" should be shown on TV daily to remind people who they should be looking out for. Why not show their faces in the last couple minutes of every news broadcast (maybe before the weather which most people watch till) and maybe we can bring a lot more of these children home.
This is just so sad! It really sucks that the media is that biased that your child has to look a certain way in order for people to be informed that he/she is missing.
This is true and sad. I wish the media would show children of every race, but more than that I wish these children weren't subjected to their situations from ADULTS in the first place.
I haven't noticed a racial bias, but I have noticed special attention to specific kids in general.
I used to tune into Nancy Grace for a few minutes every evening to see what was going on, but I can't watch it anymore. She only discusses the Caylee Anthony story. I refuse to watch the show, knowing how many other children could be getting the airtime that she is spending on only this one case.
Don't get me wrong, it could take one person watching that very second to see the little girl's face and recognize her to solve the case, but this has gone on way too long. When more airtime is spent gossipping about the mother's partying and shoplifting habits, it takes away from the main focus of the story, which is the safe recovery of the child.
I think that this article is a little bias actually, alot of the publicity is due to how people in these situations deal with and can manipulate the media.. Unfortunately the Mccanns got a lot of media attention due to the fact they were stupidly blammed for Madeleine going missing which added to the horrific situation they were in already…
When Ernie Allen was asked on Dr. Phil recently if this was an issue, the only case he could cite was from 2002. Giovanni Gonzalez, missing under similar circumstances to Caylee Anthony, has received virtually no coverage outside Boston. In the case of Zenyetta Ra she is a victim of a parental abduction and those cases are rarely covered even when spouses are murdered or injured during the abductions.
this is very much an issue & I have noticed it (and read about it on the internet) for a long time now. Go to the missing children webpage and see how many you have seen on your local news or on the national news!
Ok so I agree with Kris, and I also should mention that they do not anounce Amber alerts on every child in my city, because if they did that the sad reality of it would be like handing out candy for halloween way too many and not enough hands to help…….But every night I turn on the news and there is at least 1-3 children missing or hurt or God forbid killed all under the age of 10 and they are from all walks of life. Not color, gender, or pay scale.
Really? Please,why is everything all about race? Where are the black parents when the child goes missing? They have just as much power to get their story out to the media as a white person does. Notice they never mentioned anything about asian missing children or any other race.I'm sick of the whole " black vs. white " issue.
There are so many children mission , so why doesn't the law enforcement agencies look into the fact that some might be taken by serial child killers? I would imagine there is some crazy loon(s) out there that only want children so why don't we ever hear about that?
When I was a child I remember a couple of times when men in cars tried to get me to get closer to them. I was always told to run away or scream loudly if I were in trouble and that is what I did. I was spared, but I am certain that this happens a lot and the children are not taught what to do….Parents need to step up and teach their children that the world is a scary place!!.
I could not ignore this story any more. It is sad that the media does play up what they think would be more popular. However, in my mind, and in the minds of many, ANY child who suffered the fate of little Caylee Marie would break my heart. No matter what color or nationality. There are way too many child abuse and neglect cases that do not get enough press and we just do not know about them. I believe it is everyone's responsibility to do what ever is in their power to report and try to stop any abuse of any child.
I just have to say that I have seen quite a few stories in St. Louis that are about African American missing children. They won the news media just like the other kids in this area. They got the same amount of attention as the other children in this area that were missing.
Your information is skewed- I've never EVER heard of Polly Klaas? Why did you have to make the issue about race? Why not the gender- very few missing boys get news-coverage. As for local news, I beg to differ (at least in the DC metro area)- they DO cover missing children, no matter the child's race, gender, age, etc…Kamron Wells is a very recent and prime example.
I have read many of the comments and some mirror what I think, the issue of missing, abducted, neglected or God forbid murdered children is too sad for words! However this really does NOT come down to a issue of race it comes down to what does the media think is "newsworthy". That is the bottom line. If WE the public tune out they will have to step up and do some research and find out why are our numbers dropping? It comes down to dollar and cents plain and simple. Whether a child is black, white, asian, latino etc all kids should be represented and given public awareness if something horrible happens. This is and should always be about the children and their safety!
Someone replied that they're tired of the black, white issue and I'm certain many of you are. But let's be realistic, many of the children that go missing be they asian, black, or hipanic do not garner the media coverage that white female children do. When a small white male child is abducted you do not see nearly as much coverage as you do with their female counterparts. Should it be that way? No, all children no matter what their ethnic background is should all get the same coverage, expecially in circumstances when the child has been abducted under an act of violence (which most are).
This is sad but true. Some would say that this article is biased but I don't think so. I feel that little white girls get attention because their families have money to publicize. Little black girls from a poor neighborhood don't get the media attention they need because their families don't have as much money as the white families and therefore I find this unfair.
Thank you! I too am sick of the whole white vs. black thing…and I didn't hear anything about Asians or Latinos. This article is biased and the author needs to fix that chip on her shoulder because it's not always about race.

Two not-so-small bundles of joy arrived at Busch Gardens earlier this summer. Now, the two baby giraffes are out in the park for public viewing.
Cupid, a 15 year-old giraffe, welcomed her seventh calf back on June 11, park officials said. The male calf weighed 188 pounds and was more than 6 feet tall. Tesa, an 18-year-old giraffe, welcomed her sixth calf on June 19 -- a female weighing 145 pounds and standing 5-foot-8.
The baby reticulated giraffes are now on the Serengeti Plain part of the park. The best view is from the Serengeti train or the Edge of Africa area. Officials also say you can reserve a spot on the Serengeti Safari tour to get up close with giraffes the other animals on the plain.

3 highly rated stocks at half-price
Even great stocks can fall to bargain-basement prices.
This post comes from The Motley Fool's Rich Duprey.
You love buying your shirts when they go on sale. And who can resist a buy-one-get-one-free offer? So when our stocks go on sale, why do we bemoan their low prices?
Smart investors like Warren Buffett and Marty Whitman are delighted when companies they like are selling at bargain-basement prices. For them, these stocks become no-brainer buys.
The investors in the MSN CAPS community also like a bargain. Below, you'll find three companies whose shares earlier this week were selling at least 50% below their 52-week highs but which retained favorable four-star ratings. Consider it a buy-one-get-one-free sale on stocks.
A-Power Energy Generation Systems (APWR) designs and builds wind turbines and alternative energy systems used to supply electricity and heat to factories and rural towns. The Shenyang, China, company's American depositary receipts hit a 52-week high of $21.04 on Dec. 22. They closed at $10.62 on Thursday.
GMX Resources (GMXR) explores for and develops oil and natural gas deposits in Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. Shares in the Oklahoma City company hit a 52-week high of $19.10 on June 1. They closed at $9.46 on Thursday.
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals (LXRX) is a biotech company focused on discovery and development of drugs for treatment in cardiology, immunology, ophthalmology and other areas. Shares in the Texas company reached a 52-week high of $3.78 on Sept. 15. They closed at $1.53 on Thursday.
Naturally, we want you to look closer at these stocks before buying. You can get low-priced appliances in the dent-and-ding section of your home-remodeling superstore, but their quality might not be so good. Same thing here: Make sure there's nothing seriously wrong with the company before you plug it into your portfolio.
Wait and see
Analysts and investors have had a tough time getting a reliable read on A-Power Energy, which recently provided 2010 sales guidance of $380 million, far below the $543 million Wall Street was expecting.
A-Power Energy's possible participation in a joint-venture project with General Electric (GE) and others to develop a wind farm in West Texas should make it easier for investors to accurately analyze the company's prospects. But a backlash is building over whether "Buy American" rules should preclude A-Power's participation in the renewable-energy project, which is being backed by the U.S. government.
Of course, that doesn't stop investors from trying. CAPS member "alabama4606" appropriately takes a long-term view when trying to assign a value to A-Power Energy.
"On the bright side they have important partnerships in place with GE and German (wind turbine maker) Fuhrlander, and plenty of lucrative contracts in place," alabama4606 wrote. "The question is, can they deliver? If they can, this stock will soar higher and higher over the next 5 years."
Demand catching up
Not only are we awash in a sea of natural gas, were also drowning in a morass of drilling rigs, according to Baker Hughes (BHI), one of the exploration-and-development companies continuing to deploy rigs despite the supply glut. So it's little wonder that analysts in recent days have marked down natural gas companies like GMX Resources and PetroQuest Energy (PQ).
With President Barack Obama channeling his inner wildcatter, announcing plans to open new offshore areas for oil and natural-gas leasing, investors like CAPS member "gjg7777" are hoping that the president will get behind the proposed Natural Gas Act being touted by energy investor T. Boone Pickens, who advocates increased use of natural gas as a transportation fuel.
Pickens' company, Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE), is the largest provider of natural gas for transportation in North America.
With 95% of CAPS members rating GMX Resources to outperform the broader market, it seems that quite a few people agree with gjg7777. But the prospects for higher natural-gas prices don't seem encouraging, so I'm going to head over to the company's CAPS page and mark the company to underperform the broad averages.
More good news on the way?
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals has offered positive results in two midstage trials -- one testing a therapy's efficacy in treating irritable bowel syndrome and one on an experimental drug to treat diabetes. But the market didn't like the company's decision to raise $165 million via a share offering that will nearly double the share count.
CAPS All-Star "zzlangerhans," who closely follows the biotech sector, says that while Lexicon's share price reflects investor unhappiness over the dilution, the financing will keep the company solvent for at least another year, and there are positive developments on the horizon.
"While the next trial of (diabetes treatment) LX4211 hasn't yet been initiated, the most likely source of an upward gap this year is phase II data for arthritis compound LX2931," zzlangerhans wrote.

History and background of Versace
Gianni Versace was born in Reggio Calabria, Italy, on December 2, 1946. After an apprenticeship at his mother's dressmaking business, he began working as a freelance designer. At age 25, Versace was creating prêt-à-porter collections for top fashion houses of the time, including Genny, Complice and Callaghan.
In 1978, with the help of his brother, Santo, he founded the Gianni Versace company. Later that year, the first Gianni Versace collection for women was shown in Milan.
Gianni's bold creative genius consistently challenged the boundaries of the fashion industry. His distinctive cuts, vibrant prints and unconventional materials brilliantly united high art and contemporary culture, and he quickly earned international praise. In 1982 Gianni won the Cutty Sark and Golden Eye (L'Occhio d'Oro) awards for his 1982-1983 Fall/Winter women's collection - in which he presented his famous metal chain-mail dress. Versace also received the Golden Eye in 1984, '90, and '91
. Also in 1982, Versace began work for Teatro della Scala, designing costumes for Veronesi's production of "Josephlegende". Gianni's engagement with the theater sparked a passion that would span his career. He was an ardent patron of the performing and visual arts and an esteemed member of the international artistic community. Versace's spectacular costumes were featured in stage events worldwide, among them Donizetti's "Don Pasquale" (1984) Bob Wilson's "Salome" (1987) and "Doktor Faust" (1989), and several Béjart ballets, including "Dionysos" (1984), "Leda and the Swan" (1987), "Malraux ou la Métamorphose des Dieux" (1986) and "Chaka Zulu" (1989). In 1985 Versace was awarded the "Maschera d'Argento" (Silver Mask) award for his contribution to the theater.
In 1988 the jury of the Cutty Sark Award named Versace "the most innovative and creative designer in the world." In 1993, the Council of Fashion Designers of America awarded the American Fashion Oscar to Versace, and he was honored by the Italian and French presidents.
1994 marked the opening of the Versace flagship boutique in the prestigious Kurfürstendamm, Berlin. In September, the "Versace Signatures" exhibition opened at the Kunstgewerbemuseum.
Also in 1994, Versace published "Designs" the English version of his book, "Vanitas - Ricami e Decori - Decori e Ricami." Collaborating with publisher Leonardo Arte, photographers Richard Avedon, Bruce Weber and others, Versace produced three more highly-acclaimed volumes: "Men Without Ties" (1994), "Do Not Disturb" (1995) and "Rock and Royalty" (1996).
In 1995 the first Versus fashion show was held in New York. That year, Versace sponsored the Haute Couture exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as Richard Avedon's "1944-1994," both of which met with great success.
Gianni Versace died on July 15, 1997 in Miami, Florida.

Botswana celebrates WWD and Ramsar's 40th anniversary
Deputy Secretary General (DSG) Nick Davidson joined Botswana's celebrations, this year held in Kasane in northern Botswana close to Chobe National Park, and a perfect location for the WWD theme of "Forests for water and wetlands" since the area linking between forest reserves, wooded areas of the National Park and the Chobe River floodplain. The celebrations focused on raising public awareness of wetlands values and benefits and the importance of the Ramsar Convention. Several hundred people, including schools and the local community, local and national government from many Ministries and the private sector collaborated for the lively celebrations, which included song and dance, a drama about safeguarding the environment performed by the Chobe Arts Association, presentation of prizes to the winners of a nationwide school environmental essay competition, and many exhibition stalls.

Minister of Environment, Wildlife & Tourism, the Honourable Onkokame Kitso Mokaila, stressed the importance of collaborative actions across sectors and society to maintain Botswana's unique natural environment, and announced that a project was being developed to establish a management framework for the Chobe river system and that a new national Forest Policy was nearing completion. Mr Steve Monna, Director of the Department of Environmental Affairs spoke of Botswana's achievements in wetland and forest management including the Okavango Delta.
|Chobe Arts Association drama about illegal bushfires and woodcutting
The DSG congratulated Botswana on its work to involve all parts of society in achieving sustainable environmental management, stressed that the world is still facing the same challenges of dealing with wetland loss and deterioration as led to the Convention's creation 40 years ago, and urged that everyone encourage the political will to work cross-sectorally to ensure that environmental decision-making does not destroy the natural infrastructure of wetlands upon which we all depend, rich or poor, for our future livelihoods and security.

Prior to the celebrations an excursion visited the Savuti Channel, which connects between the Chobe River and the Okavango Delta and which, thanks to recent plentiful rains, was flowing for the first time in over 20 years.

Brown Discharge After Period and When to Call Your Doctor
It's not uncommon for women to experience a bit of a brown discharge after period, but if you've never had this happen, it might be pretty disconcerting. In most cases, there's nothing to worry about except the added inconvenience of wearing panty liners for a day or two longer. But there are other reasons why it might happen barring normal residual discharge.
Hormonal fluctuations are the most common reasons for a brown or pinkish discharge. I never knew this until I was in my 20s because it never happened to me. But sometimes when a woman ovulates, it can cause a light pink or brown spotting, either independent of or mixed in with your normal discharge. If you notice it happens around the middle of your cycle, you're probably ovulating.
If you have spotting a couple of days after your period was supposed to end, it might just be leftover blood and your uterus is simply expelling old blood.
If you have spotting a few days after the middle of your cycle, and you have had unprotected sex, it could indicate implantation spotting. Implantation spotting occurs in the earliest days of pregnancy, after the fertilized zygote implants itself in the uterus.
Sometimes brown discharge after period might indicate the early stages of perimenopause, which is the transitional stage between your fertile years and active menopause. Unless the bleeding turns heavy and you're cramping more than normal, it probably doesn't warrant concern.
Too much stress can cause disruptions in your cycle, and even interfere with your fertility. When I was under a heavy amount of stress at one of my old jobs, my period was fluctuating from 22 days to 33 days with severe menstrual cramps. So, if you're under an unusual amount of stress and are spotting, it could be time to make some life changes.
When Should You Contact Your Doctor?
If the brown spotting and discharge turns a bright red or lasts more than three or four days, you should contact your physician to find out what's going on with your body. It could be anything from ovarian cysts to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or an ectopic pregnancy.
If you've recently started and then stopped birth control, you might see some spotting due to the hormonal changes in your body. But if you're experiencing spotting while taking birth control consistently, it might indicate something else is going on, and it's best to run that by your doctor just to make sure it's nothing serious.
Light bleeding between periods that lasts for more than three menstrual cycles might be something other than normal brown discharge. If you have heavy bleeding after sex, you should contact your doctor immediately. In some extreme cases, an unusual bloody discharge, whether brown or red, could indicate uterine or cervical cancer.
Keeping a monthly menstrual diary will help determine if your discharge is normal or if you should call your doctor.
Do you keep track of your cycle?

"It goes from zero to 60 in four seconds. It's the fastest four-door luxury sedan on the road," boasts Kathy Skubik, proud owner of a custom Tesla Model-S.
Skubik designed it, down to the color, trim and leather seats. Six weeks after ordering it the car arrived from California.
"I drove a Toyota for my whole life and I wanted to switch over to an American car, and then at the same time, it was very important to me to have a nice, comfortable luxury car and one that was good for the environment," Skubik tells Fox 2's Robin Schwartz.
Skubik has had the car since early September, but is still getting used to the new technology, such as the dashboard touchscreen that controls everything. The technology in the car offers so many options, it's been called the "best car ever made."
That kind of luxury comes at a price tag, though. The car costs upwards of $70,000 but is great on the environment.
Skubik says going electric is easy, and that she can drive 240 miles on a fully-charged battery. An app on her smartphone even tells her how many miles she has left to drive.
"Someone asked me ... 'What happens if you run out of electricity?' I go, 'The same thing that happens if you run out of gas.' You just plan ahead," Skubik says.
The car takes 24hours to charge in a standard outlet, and just two hours with a 240-volt hookup, which Skubik is waiting for. Tesla's installing those stations but, right now, there are none in Michigan yet.

I recently spent two weeks touring around Switzerland with my wife and our one-year-old daughter. It was a magnificent trip — one of those get-it-out-of-my-system-now kinds of trips while Varenna is young and portable. Ha! That's at least what we thought when we booked the trip in January. She's a bit more … mobile, shall we say.
But we had a very good time, and ultimately, I was pleasantly surprised with the images I returned home with. In the moment, we both were a bit distracted trying to keep our daughter entertained, engaged, and safe. We worked hard every hour of the trip, just not on photography. Or so it seemed.

I'm extremely pleased with the way the team is competing and we're looking strong heading into the championship meet."

Blur Commercial: Hilarity & Hypocrisy
So, Blur has been released, and if you have turned on your T.V. at all this past week, you might have noticed Blur's new commercial.
Before I even begin to talk about the message, I have some plot issues with the commercial itself. We are treated first to the kart racing world, featuring bright colors, cutesy critters, and puny race cars. The countdown starts, and the gun goes off! The race begins! Yay!
Except for Toa- I mean Broccoli Toad. Despondent, he looks off to the right and is immediately captivated by a darkened city featuring fast action and faster cars, speeding across the streets using an array of explosive power-ups to gain pole position. What the *&#$ are these two locations doing right next to each other? How does the vegetation of the kart world survive? I mean, surely the exhaust and rain runoff from Blur city will kill all the happy smiling trees, at least make them lose their leaves as if they were chemo patients.
But forget about that. Let's just accept that Blur city is right next to Kart land and all that separates them is a wire fence. Doesn't mean that seeing the cars there is commonplace for Kart land? So what the (&^* is Broccoli Toad surprised to see them?
Whatever, commercials don't make sense anyway. BUT, and this is a big but, Blur is kind of being hypocritical here. The commercial ends with the tagline "Race like a big boy.
How is playing Blur racing like a big boy? You drive around in actual cars, yes, but to what end? Blur features a multitude of power-ups that are basically carbon copies of those found in Mario Kart. And that's not the first time Blur stole something.
If anything Blur is calling its own gameplay childish.
While game companies have often resorted to attacking others (what "nintendon't" for example) I am never fond of that type of advertising. I don't want to be convinced to not play something else, I want to be convinced to play your game. Get me excited damn it!
I think it all hinges on the execution...which is what I'm gathering you meant by "playing with fire". I think if done poorly, mocking the competition can come off as petty and desperate. If, on the other hand, the mocking is done skillfully and cleverly, it can really serve put things into perspective. Does the Blur ad succeed? It does with me, but it's entirely subjective.
The main goal of the ad was to say "Doesn't Mario Kart look like only preteens would play it? Why are you still playing that kiddie stuff when you could be playing an adult game?" That message either connects (as it did for me...though they were probably preaching to the choir) or it falls flat because you either reject the premise ("Mario Kart IS an adult game!") or you are insulted that the mocking even took place ("Hey I like Mario Kart! Screw you Blur!") It's a calculated risk, to be sure.
Personally, I love it when an ad has the balls to out another product for whatever reason. And I actually really dug this ad.
I don't think it was hypocritical in the slightest because it wasn't saying anything about the gameplay. It was talking about the tone. And tonally, Mario Kart is Fisher Price. That's not to say that Blur is better or worse. But it's certainly trying to be more adult. It also does a great job of showing you exactly what to expect. It says "Take the gameplay of Mario Kart and make it "cooler" because you are racing realistic looking cars in a city". The juxtaposition (and subsequent Mario Kart bashing) also effectively cuckolds the Nintendo product in very few lines.
I think I like this ad for all the reasons you don't like it. :)

A local family is lashing out at the Atlanta VA Medical Center after they say the hospital botched a routine procedure and now their father is dying.
A Korean war veteran, Joseph Carnegie went to the hospital in August to have a tracheotomy tube replaced. His son-in-law, Michael Coleman, said the staff made mistakes during the operation and flooded Carnegie's body with sodium.
"He got salt poisoning and instead of listening to the family and telling us what's really happening with our dad, they tried to cover it up and they blatantly lied to us about it," said Coleman.
The ordeal comes on the heels of other problems the Carnegie family has had with the VA system. Coleman said they found a hidden camera in their father's room at a VA hospital in Tampa, were mailed the wrong medication for their father and also received medical records from other patients.
"I'm willing to walk from Atlanta, GA, to Washington, DC, not just for my dad but for every vet that has suffered here and died prematurely," said Coleman.
The medical center could not comment on the accusations due to patient confidentiality but released this statement: "The Atlanta VA Medical Center remains fully committed to providing all of our veterans the high quality health care that they deserve and have earned."
Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-GA, told CBS Atlanta that he would look into the allegations.
"I'm always eager to help when veterans or their family members come to my office with complaints about the care they receive at the VA. I along with my staff are looking into this situation," said Isakson via email.

I'm doing just peachy and how about yourself? I know it's been forever since we've last talked and it's mostly my fault. I just don't come on this site nearly as much as I used to. And I took about five months off from writing because my computer ate my stories and I couldn't muster up to write another one. But I'm back on the wagon now with a story titled 'Flirting with Danger'. Of course because of the content I can't post it here.
I do hope everything is going well for you, though. And I hope to talk to you real soon.
Love you much,
