I'm a bit addicted to frameless eyewear. When snowboarding I rock the Smith I/O goggles and when doing anything else in the sun, it's the Zeal Lifts.
So I was pretty psyched to see these Dragon APX Goggles. Near as I can tell from the picture, the frame is entirely on the inside, leaving just an icy, mirrored blue lens staring other skiers and riders in the face. Goggles like the I/OS are mostly frameless, but still have a few visible tabs over-top the lenses.
No word on price, but these are coming for next ski season. And they're going on my "want" list.

Charging documents accusing 21-year-old Deshawn Nelson of second-degree assault were released on Monday, explaining that the St. Paul officer who shot him multiple times believed he had a "big handgun."
According to the criminal complaint, a St. Paul police sergeant was at the scene of a burglary report in the 1800 block of Marshall Avenue at about 4:10 a.m. on Sunday when he heard what he believed were 5 gunshots to the northwest. That sergeant then returned to his squad and proceeded north up an alley, keeping the windows open and the headlights off.
After turning north on Dewey Street, the officer saw a vehicle believed to be a maroon Ford Edge on Marshall Avenue. When he turned on the squad headlights, he said the driver and passenger in the front seat appeared surprised.
The criminal complaint states that when the officer activated his emergency lights, the SUV fled. The officer then activated his siren and gave chase to southbound Wheeler Street.
The SUV came to a sharp stop at the alley south of Marshall Avenue, and Nelson exited the car with what the officer described as a "big handgun" in his right hand. The officer signaled that Nelson had a gun and said he was watching the weapon closely in case it was thrown.
Meanwhile, the sergeant removed his service weapon from his holster and readied it near his chest as he turned into the alley with his squad. Both the squad lights and siren were still active.
The sergeant reported that Nelson moved to the left of the alley, turned and pointed the gun at him, and said he believed Nelson intended to kill him in his squad. At that point, the officer brought up his gun, fired and hit Nelson.
The criminal complaint says the officer knew he struck Nelson because he watched him flinch and thought, "Why isn't he going down?"
Instead, Nelson ran south, over a fence and fell while the sergeant exited his squad, reloaded his magazine, and gave chase. The criminal complaint says the officer could still see the gun in Nelson's hand as he yelled, "Drop the gun! Drop the gun! Police! Drop the gun!"
Nelson, however, kept fleeing, according to the criminal complaint. He jumped over another fence at a home in the 1700 block of Dayton Avenue. The sergeant said when he stood, he began to raise the gun, and the officer shot him again.
The officer said after Nelson was struck in the second bout of gunfire, he "went down hard." The sergeant yelled for him to show his hands, but Nelson got up again. The criminal complaint says the sergeant "thought Nelson may have been wearing body armor because being shot wasn't affecting him."
Yet, the document states that Nelson staggered away from that second shooting, and escaped the officer's line of sight. When the officer saw Nelson turn again, he shot him a third time because he believed Nelson intended to shoot him, charging documents allege.
Nelson fell in a boulevard, and the officer radioed a call that he had a person down who needed medical attention. When he approached, he saw that Nelson's hands were empty.
After first responders removed Nelson from the scene, the officer walked back to show investigators where he was when he opened fire. On that walk back, Nelson located a silver Ruger P94 handgun on the ground near the front porch of a Dayton Avenue home.
A neighbor who heard the sirens and gunfire grabbed his shotgun and saw the officer standing over Nelson with his service weapon drawn. That neighbor said no other people were in the area, and the officer asked him to watch his back in case the SUV returned. Once back-up arrived, the man went back in his home.
Nelson was advised of his constitutional rights and agreed to speak with police. He admitted to fleeing a newer, red car because he thought he had warrants for not paying his train fares in Minneapolis; however, he denied having a gun. Instead, he told police he had a phone in his hand when he fled the car.
Nelson's mother and brother spoke with Fox 9 News about the shooting on Monday, and they don't believe Nelson would have had a gun.
"He wouldn't do nothing like that," Antonio Thompson insisted. "They can check his history -- criminal history. It's squeaky clean. He graduated from high school, was taking care of his son."
Fox 9 News confirmed that Nelson does not have a criminal record in Minnesota, and his mother says that's why learning her son was shot seven times doesn't make sense.
"He's never been to jail. He's a good kid," Yolanda Phelps said.
Nelson remains in critical condition at Regions Hospital. Phelps told Fox 9 News her son was shot seven times while fleeing, and she said she has only been able to see him through a window because police say he is arrested.
Now that he has been charged with a felony, he has been ordered to be detained and held on $100,000 bail.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - The city of Sheboygan has a new and tougher ordinance regulating donation drop-off boxes. The city council held a public hearing on the ordinance Monday night and then unanimously approved it. Renee Bowerman, Project Manager for Goodwill, said the ordinance is needed. She said on her way to the meeting she saw two boxes next to each other with piles of goods around them. She the goods were being ruined by being left out in the elements when they could have gone to someone in need. The new ordinance spells out where the boxes can be located and indicates that the boxes must be regularly emptied and, if allowed to overflow, the property will be removed by the city at the owner's expense. The ordinance also requires all boxes to be maintained in good condition with no structural damage, rust or graffiti.

DIY Wooden Lid/Seat for Umbrella Can?
Good Questions
Q: I have been looking for a metal or plastic umbrella can (or similarly, any tall bins up to 16" high) that can be converted to a seat when not in use. I can't seem to find such a product on the internet. Therefore, I am thinking of using a metal/plastic cylinder can (e.g. the one in the picture by Container Store), but I have no clue where to find the appropriate lid (e.g. a wooden lid). Any DIY solutions?

Try it out with a board or something around the house first...I wouldn't think that it could support an adult's weight..if they do, you could always flip the cans over.
you could try one of those storage ottomans, and insert a metal canister on the inside (so it's umbrella/rain proof)
Home Depot sells various sizes of wood rounds for table tops, etc. If you find the right size and route the edge with a router to make a lip on one side, it could work.
Is that this? Do you think "durable polypropylene" would be sufficiently sturdy? I'd feel a little better about this idea if you simply flipped the can itself over, rather than fitting a lid to the top. If you can find a wooden round that fits into/against the bottom, that would be pretty easy, too. Though you'd have the added complication of keeping the bottom clean (unless the wooden round stayed detachable).
A wooden lazy susan perhaps? Its already a circle shape, and the wood ones tend to be pretty thick.
I would get a wooden circle that fits fairly snuggly in the top of the can (or make one by glueing some boards up and getting out the jigsaw) and then get or make a wooden circle that's at least 4" bigger in diameter, screw the two together from the bottom, and cover it with fabric or get a cushion to fit on top.
You should invent one! I would buy such a thing for my tiny apartment. Everything does double or triple duties in my place!
Just go to your local cabinet maker and have them cut/rout/make the piece you are looking for.
These questions are really starting to get frustrating as it seems to show customers need to by something ready made or manufactured. There was a time when people didn't go to Target to get what they wanted, they would go to a craftsman to get exactly what they were looking for. Heck a cabinet maker is probably closer than any other solution.
P.S. you'd be surprised how far a 6 pack of good beer will go in this instance!
I've been lusting after one of [url=http://www.amazon.com/Blomus-Laundry-Bin-Hamper-35/dp/B00008W6JA]these[ /url] for a long time, it might be what you're looking for if you are willing to pay that much.
Trace the circle onto a piece of 1/2 inch plywood or something equally strong. Cut out the circle with a jigsaw or band saw or something, making sure you are making the circle LARGER than the inner rim, not smaller. (If you want an overhang, add that dimension to the circle.)
Trace a second circle and this time cut it a quarter inch smaller than the shape (or whatever dimension makes it smaller than the inner diameter of the can, without a lot of slack).
Glue or screw or nail this board centered on the other circle so this one fits down into the can and the other one rests on the rim. Paint, sand, stain or upholster as desired...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A list of 30 candidates for new Ohio schools superintendent includes Gov. John Kasich's (KAY'-siks) top education adviser.
The 19-member Ohio Board of Education is searching for a new state superintendent for the second time in as many years. The board hired an Iowa-based firm to conduct a national search to replace Stan Heffner, who resigned amid ethical questions about his relationship with an educational testing contractor.
Among the candidates is Richard Ross, director of the Governor's Office of 21st Century Education. He helped craft Kasich's school-funding plan and is former superintendent of the Reynoldsburg school district near Columbus.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/VwqTdG ) reports that the list also includes five candidates from Ohio and two currently working overseas, one in Thailand and another in New Zealand.

All Blue Spaces
Feeling blue is usually considered a bad thing, but these homes show that strict use of the color can be anything but a downer - in fact, many have a vibrant energy thanks to the eye-catching shade...
Decorating with one color can create quite a dramatic statement, and the use of a subtle accent shade helps to keep the space from being overwhelmed. We imagine it also cuts down on a few decorating dilemmas - no more "should I go with the green fabric or the blue?", you've already got that covered. So would you do a room up in just one bold shade, be it blue or any other? Let us know your thoughts.

Although I couldn't imagine doing a room in only one colour, I appreciate this post. Hadn't seen any of the photos before, and I enjoyed considering and contrasting all the different blues. Thanks!
Love the blues! What is that fantastic piece of art in the first picture? Love that!!
My house is painted with every room in the house in different shades of blue, except the hall, which is Chinese red. The mood is calm and exciting at the same time..and very restful. My artwork is mostly all primary colors, wonderful against the blue with lots of white woodwork.
And I LOVE that piece of art too, the one in the first picture. Wow.
Its nice, but he first one kinda hurts my eyes.

I understand what its like to be on the low rung of the raiding ladder becasue I was there not to long ago. I have been 70 now for about 8 months now and I have only run kara 3 times due to the fact that alot of the spots in kara runs are for higher guild level members that want to farm badges. I have no problem with this and I understand that I need to wait my turn and appreciate getting to run it with my guild, but right now there is a divide: high level geared players that are running instanses to farm badges, and new level 70's that need gear but can never get a spot in a raid.

The LaPorte County Sheriff's Office says the pilot of an ultralight plane was killed when he crashed early Sunday morning.
The Sheriff's Office says another pilot told deputies that he and 36-year-old Benjamin Hubbard of South Bend had both departed the Niles airport around 6:30am in route to Plymouth where they were going to meet.
When Hubbard never arrived, he retraced his steps and found the wreckage in a cornfield east of County Road 600 East, South of Division Road.
The pilot called 9-1-1 and circled until emergency crews arrived.
Hubbard was pronounced dead at the scene.
The F-A-A is investigating.

Crown Chakra
"The Sanskrit term for the Crown chakra, Sahasrara, means "thousandfold", and the Crown chakra is known as the thousand-petalled lotus. It is connected to and activates the Pineal gland, directly affecting the brain and central nervous system.
This is the energy centre that connects us to the divine source of our consciousness, the All-That-Is. When this chakra is fully opened and balanced, divine wisdom and knowing flows into the 3rd Eye chakra, enabling us to align our thoughts with the Creator, and to integrate and become aware of the unconscious and subconscious mind.
Focusing on this mandala will balance the frequency of the Crown chakra, opening up a conscious connection to awareness of the multi-dimensional self.
If the Crown chakra is overactive, or blasted open without preparation, we can become ungrounded and even psychotic. The Crown chakra needs to be aligned with the Root chakra at the base of the spine so that divine energy can be grounded and manifested within the physical form.
An underactive Crown chakra will make us feel as though we are lacking a fundamental connection, and a natural joy of life will feel elusive"

State College, Pa. • Many in this leafy, vibrant college town nicknamed "Happy Valley" worry the temporary evisceration of Penn State's football program might inflict similar damage on a community that, for years, thrived as fans flocked to home games at the massive football stadium and a far-flung alumni base stayed connected by loyalty — and by checkbook.
Some business operators saw the same silver lining that many survivors do after a near-death accident: They had feared a complete shutdown of Penn State's football program by the NCAA.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Yet they also know Penn State, and the hotels, eateries and university-themed apparel shops that cluster around campus, face rough times ahead.
"Football is absolutely intertwined with the university, therefore the town," said graduate student Will Ethier. "Such hard hits really will hit the town economically, as well as a community. Penn State, Penn State football, State College, they're all absolutely intertwined. If one gets sanctioned, everybody else gets sanctioned. So it's really tough on everybody."
Penn State's powerhouse football program sustained an unprecedented blow on Monday as the university agreed to a $60 million fine, a four-year ban from postseason play and a cut in the number of football scholarships it can award — the price it will pay for having looked the other way while former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky brought boys onto campus and molested them.
The NCAA also erased 14 years of victories, wiping out 111 of coach Joe Paterno's wins and stripping him of his standing as the most successful coach in the history of big-time college football.
The sanctions resulted in Moody's Investors Service saying it may cut the school's "Aa1" rating, the second highest-possible rating available. The Freeh report, along with the NCAA sanctions, could hurt enrollment and fundraising, Moody's said.
The school meekly accepted its punishment, pledging to hold itself to high standards of honesty and integrity.
Penn State spokesman David La Torre said university President Rodney Erickson had no choice but to acquiesce, given the threat of a total shutdown of the football program — the so-called death penalty.
Students, alumni and Penn State football fans expressed shock and outrage at the heavy NCAA penalties. And there were signs of discontent at the way the governing body arrived at them. The NCAA bypassed its usual slow-moving series of investigations and hearings and instead relied on the university-funded report of former FBI chief Louis Freeh, who found that Paterno and several top administrators stayed quiet about accusations against Sandusky in 1998 and 2001.
New Penn State trustee Anthony Lubrano said he was "deeply disappointed" in the sanctions and the fact that board members had no input.
"I have a fiduciary responsibility to Penn State and I feel like I wasn't included, just told we are agreeing to sanctions that will impact our university for years to come," Lubrano said. "I don't like that. I don't like the fact I wasn't involved in the process."
The four-year ban on postseason play and a 20 percent reduction on scholarships for the same amount of time are expected to lay the heaviest hand on the football program's ability to recruit high-quality players.
Some wondered whether that will translate into fewer fans in the bleachers.
Average attendance at the 106,500-seat Beaver Stadium has long been muscular. It ranked no lower than fourth nationally in average attendance each year since 1991, a university spokesman said. And Penn State's alumni association, with more than 165,000 members, is billed as the largest in the world.
State College, in rural central Pennsylvania's rolling dairy country, has 42,000 permanent residents, not counting about 45,000 graduate and undergraduate students. Already, the team has sold 85,000 season tickets for 2012.
But Chris Stathes, who has a daughter at Penn State and manages one of the two Waffle Shops in State College, said he would not be surprised to see 20,000 or 30,000 empty seats at Beaver Stadium, the nation's second-largest sports venue. He imagines casual fans tuning out or deciding not to make the drive to see home games in State College, several hours from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
If the team's football success drove the bus, then the businesses around it were undoubtedly passengers. Some fans make the home games a routine event, and lines of hungry stadium-goers typically go out the door at the Waffle Shops from the time they open at 5:30 a.m. until kickoff.
But now, "what are you going to watch for?" said Stathes, who watches games on TV at self-styled "Penn State Pigouts" with his friends. "They can't advance to any postseason bowl game or anything like that. People are still going to be disgusted over the whole thing. But I think it's great ... that they will be able to play, that there will be fans coming into town."
Added Stathes: "If it was a total ban, it would have devastated the community."
Another area that some analysts say is already hurting is apparel sales.Next Page >

Hi Loa!
Sounds very interesting what you are learning and the personal development you are going through, indeed. I'm here in Cairo for 10 weeks to do a some research. I could live here though. I feel happy here!
I totally agree, to find what empowers us is so important. And what works for one person might be completely wrong for another.
One thing that I noticed that I learned as I was becoming a breathworker was to become aware of what kind of mentor or teacher would work best in line with me. A duck mother teacher that is the type that pushes the children in the water and then jumps in herself or a deertype mother teacher that first runs ahead of her children and makes sure all is safe so that she after can call for her kids to try out the new terrain. I i.e. need a deer mother type of instructor, to dare to move ahead. But this is so individual. Nothing is wrong or right.
Seems like these are making you feel good about yourself from what I hear, that is personal growth and spirituality in its finest form.
And yes, how important it is that when something sad happens to receive compassion. You mention staying strong, that is a defintion that can vary in meaning for many people. What does it mean to you to remain strong?
As far as changing your reactions to every negative thing, here again, I must say that for me I would first need to get clear on what exactly do I perceive as being negative? Or is only situations, people and events we have no power over i.e. referred to as a negative phenomena in this context?
For me I would need to know this first, because eitherwise I would feel as if though I were being adviced to just accept anything and then working on reactions could easily turn into encouragment of denial to what is not good for me in my Life. And then be asked to remain with certain situations, people or places and required to look inwardly in an attempt to "only" search for my own "negative emotions" when in fact what one perhaps needs to do instead is to take action in another manner.
Perhaps being observent so that personal inner exploration doesn't serve as a means to becoming negligent towards oneself. I don't know if this makes sense that are some of my thoughts and fears maybe?
I feel tired after the revolutions day here today with many fatatlities so if I don't make any sense that might be the reasons.
Good Night and God Bye for now!
And thank you so much Loa for your thoughts and wise words!!!
Blessings from me

Thank you Mary
I agree. What works for one doesn´t work for another. That's what makes people so special and great.
For me, I like to take the best from everything that comes to me and I feel like is being right and serving me to be in abundance with life and god. As far as I have come I haven´t yet found some one belief or idea that I want to stick with or praise completely. So I guess I´m on an endless search wich will probably never take end. Sometimes it´s going well but other times I get stuck. But that´s another story.
I think you have an interesting point regarding negativity. I asked the teacher if trying to train your mind in never thinking a negative thought meant you should let people roll over you, just because you earned that negative thing from some other life. Her answer to that was: No, not at all. She said that we would always know the difference between right and wrong and that we are able to leave situations, people or whatever, without negativity in our mind. That we could in fact release us from negative karma by adding positive energy to it.
In the every day life I somtimes find the same things that annoy me, looking me up over and over again. I don´t know if it´s karma or just my reactions to it, but maybe for me it´s worth trying their style
But again, after reading what you say, if something is perceived as wrong I would think that would at first always call on a negative feeling or a thought. But after that we should have the power to transforming that feelings/thoughts.
What does being strong mean to me ? That´s a good question. I think my view on that has been changing over the years.
I´m raised up in a community wich in the past had to fight to survive, for example because of bad, cold all kinds of weathers and natural events. People were isolated and poor and when winters were hard people were dying at home and couldn´t be buried til spring came. So through the ages being physically strong and never give in has been considered as a great strenght. And that meant not showing your emotions or feelings. Not cry never because if you would, you would not survive.
I feel like the definition of being strong has been changing, even just since I was little ( I´m 37) and I feel like it´s canging fast these last years.
Working with seriously ill people the past ten years have taught me that having the courage to share your feelings, your " weakness", show tears and be who you are but not pretending to be something you are not, is what being strong is all about for me, because this is something that has never been easy for me to do. It probably has another meaning for people who do not lack the courage to show and share their feelings in a healthy way.
In the content of my previous post being strong would mean that people would not enter the bottom of the unhappiness with me but rather meet me somewhere in the way to assist me to get up.
What does being strong mean to you ?
Well Mary. it´s so great to have these conversations with you and you make a lot of sense, even after a big day like that. It doesn´t surprise me that you like Cairo. It must be totally amazing there ... and you have a history in that area, right ?
Take care

Thank you for sharing your experiences Loa!
I hear you are questioning and not just buying whatever you encounter on your spiritual search and journey. I believe that is a healthy attitude. I'm on a spiritual quest too. I keep searching for answers about life and why we are here?
Its interesting your mention the impact the climate has on the concept of being strong. Any extreme weather conditions do shape those who must live under them. Being from Scandinavia and growing up among farmers I should know! Hard working from dawn till dusk. Winter or not doesnt matter. You just keep it up. So I believe there is my role model for being strong. Similar to what you are describing. Non emotional attitude, whatever happens. Only survival counts. If you would break a leg, get injured: That is irrelevant, just keep working. And that is really a problem; I was talking to a guy last summer who explained to me that this attitude is killing us up here in the North. We have the highest rates of suicide in the whole world, Sweden that is. I know 2 that died due to that last year. Two guys actually that had these attitudes around them, and a woman too that tried, the list could be made long. But, therefore, I believe it is so important that we start becoming more compassionate, as to overcome these health problems that are so unnecessary.
I mean, as you are saying you are working with those with severe diseases. Can we afford to be so shut off in this world? Does it require a lethal disease Before we realize that we are emotional beings?
I like your view on what being strong is. I agree completely with that!
Blessings from Mary
Hello Mary
We seem to share similar experiances of these things, and both live up in the north. It would be interesting to see some researches on this. It wouldn´t surprise me that suicidal rate could be related to what is perceived as being strong in different communities. Are people who live in communities , were" being strong" is perceived as not sharing and showing emotions in more risk at developing emotional and physical diseases ?
I am now reading the book "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying" ( Bronnie Ware)
Regret 1: I wish I´d had the courage to live a life true to myself
Regret 2: I wish I hadn´t worked so hard
Regret 3: I wish I had the courage to express my feelings
Regret 4: I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends
Regret 5 : I wish I had let myself be happier
This says it all, right ? And explains why it is a priviledge to work with serously ill people

Hi Loa!
Extremely interesting questions you are asking Loa!
I'm convinced there is more to it than a lack of light that are causing many people to feel low up there in the Nordic nations!
The top five regrets are food for thought indeed. Every time I see them, they make me contemplate over what is really important.
I still have far to go but, I feel proud to say that I have lived almost all my Dreams, not that all of them turned out like I expected them to but I feel it has been far more important attempting to pursue the dreams, to give them a fair chance to become real rather than the actual outcome itself. To me, in my life, there are not many things I will be regretting when lying on my death bed, which is good. A few maybe, I guess...but hopefully there is still time to make amends for those.
One other thing that I find so interesting too is finding evidence, valid to yourself that, when for instance, you get a message from what we believe to be the other side, that leaves you without any doubts that someone just sent a message that the living would never ever be able to know or make up stories about.
That's all for now from me,
And by the way, praises to you for the admirable and incredibly important work that you do!
Take Care Loa!
Dear Mary
I think I will add to my " being strong" list, people who have the courage to live their dreams like you have. Probably one of the most important thing when you look back over your life in the end.
And yes, It´s a great gift indeed to to get confirmation that you just feel and know is true from the other side. Helps us to go on and not loose faith, right ?
Keep up the good work and keep on following your dreams
when you reach the end of your rope , tie a knot in it and hang on ❤
Thank you Loa, I will do whatever is in my power to keep living my dreams.
What you mentioned about wishes and regrets of the dying is truly a lesson that we shouldn't ignore.
Then I must also mention, in regards to what I suspect could have been some of my previous incarnations here in Egypt. I decided to revisit the Egyptian museum for entertainment purposes but primarily in order to, once and for all, investigate further into whether I would/could "recognize" anything in the museum, as some kind of validation to my "memories" from the glimpses I have been receiving in regressions from around the period of when Pharao/Queen Hatsepsut was ruling Egypt.
First thing that I noticed was that there was one room I experienced a strong sense of unease toward. So signifcantly overwhelming it made me feel reluctant to enter.
One was that from the period around the New Kingdom.
So I passed it by, and kept on walking until I, upstairs, felt compelled and drawn to some rings. I discovered one that I felt it was belonging to me.
Unfortunately, I couldn't interpret the arabic text next to it.
Last but not least, in my exploration for something connected to my regressions about Hatsepsut, I was truly in the right Place since her mummie was there.
As I was standing next to the mummie of Hatsepsut; I felt NOTHING. No recognition, at all!! And, For a moment, it felt as if my old "me" from that incarnation, whom seemed to have been more authoritative in nature than I am today, reacted strongly with: Who is that???!! That is NOT the Queen!!!
When I attended a course in Parapsychology I learned about how energy can stick to objects and things, so then if some energies would remain attached, not the soul, but energy memories, to the body of, in this case, a mummie. Is it that far fetched really?
Next thing I did was to walk over to the mummie of her half-brother, and here I felt instant recognition, it was the recognition of energies. This would be from Thutmose II. I could swear as I was picking up the energies around this "body" that this was someone, when he was alive and thriving, that I used to know and get along with, that he was almost like a brother to me.
As opposed to the previous they claim belonged to Hatsepsut.
And why I experienced such discomfort around the room of the remains from the New Kingdom which is from the time around when Hatsepsut and Thutmose II were ruling baffles me. Perhaps I died in an unpleasent manner? Or I just took in energy memories from events that had occured around these remains?
It is so hard to find clues to other life times in museums. For me at least. So this felt like a unique opportunity. I could have misperceived the information I was receiving during the regression. However...when in Luxor, 20 years ago, I was not searching, the deju vu, caught me by surprise, and it was soo powerful.
After I could see, indeed very clear images of me and someone similar to Hatsepsut and now that I am writing this I recall: the end.
Her end, was an extremly tragic suicide. And I never recovered fully after that happend, judging form the regression. That would even explain the unease about objects from that area. Maybe my soul, was reminded of the loss of a loved one in a very tragic way?
Blessings from Egypt,

Hi again Mary
and sorry how long it took me to reply.
Thank you for sharing all your perceptions from the museum. Must be so special to be able to explore places where you feel so strong connections from previous lives.
So you think that the mummy of Hatsepsut is someone else maybe ?
I´m certain that all your perceptions are real and true and it seems like you have developed the ability to get them rather easily. How does it feel when you get regressions from some events that were not so nice ? I mean, does it just feel bad or like you can understand and work with your present life better ?
when you reach the end of your rope , tie a knot in it and hang on ❤
Hi Loa,
Well, as the answer to your question if I think that the mummy of Hatsepsut is someone else? I would say: Yes, I believe it is someone else.
It is nice to hear that you believe that my perceptions are real and true. Some are and I have it verified, with this, I can only describe my impressions.
Regarding reconnecting with sections from past lives that were very unpleasant, I would say, I have found my self starting to breathe through the the painful events using rebirthing breathing.
The process is the same. Time does not seem to be relevant. Regardless of if the trauma has stayed with me from my childhood in this life or from an incarnation 10 000 years ago or further back in time than that.
Releasing the pain stuck in the cell memory or where ever it has remained seems to be the focus for the intelligence that rules this. I don t know how or why. But this is what I have noticed. And over the years I have heard many other rebirthers decribe similar experiences, when in contact with previous incarnations and when dealing with releasing old traumas. But one can never decide when or where, some intelligence seems to be in charge of this within us, I mean.
From a time when I was being transported as a slave over to America on a ship. This has been hard for me to even get in touch with. Only with people I felt completely safe with, this could surface in the present to be released somewhat, with the support of their presence, going through this trauma, was possible.
And after a breathwork session for instance, I would feel, lighter, as if a weight has been lifted off of me. A burden is gone.
I would say that every trauma and any unplesant undealt with emotion pressed away deep down into the sub-conscious is pulling us, taking from us a high amount of our focus and energy from being in the present moment where life is actually happening. So, I would say that this is the gain in going back to release it. To bring us more to the here and the now.
Does that make any sense to you at all?
Btw, how is your personal development and spiritual journey unfoldning?
Thank you Mary
yes this makes a great sense. Breathing sure is a powerful tool and I can imagine it being useful when dealing with past lives. And it must be important to have some ways, like you, to be able to actually benefit from these experiances.
Thank you ...my spiritual journey is going ok I guess. Meditation is becoming a necassary part of my life to stay in contact with my self and the spiritual world, I so much feel the difference when I forget to take the time for it I would like to get more in contact with my past lives though.
Think I just have to tell you that for 12 years ago I went to a past lives therapist. I had high expectations for this meeting. Probably hoping she would say I once was a queen, someone famous ... or at least a nun. But all she could see were some many lives as a slave .... oh and yes .. a SMUGGLER that was thrown down the White cliffs. LOL I bet my face looked funny during that meeting.
Well today I love my past slave lives and just know i´ve gained something important from it that serves me and others in a positive way. Don´t know about this smuggler live though
Take care Mary

A series of blog posts about choosing, installing, voicing, debuting a new pipe organ
It's here! The huge pipe organ built by Casavant Frères of Quebec for First Presbyterian Church-Charleston (FPC) has arrived by semi in thousands of pieces!
Of course,
this was not actually Day 1. The impetus for this project came from church
members John and Ruth McGee. It's seems they have quite an affinity for pipe
organs. The McGee Foundation donated the funds for the organ itself.
The project
began nearly two years ago when Rev. Bill McCoy invited a handful of people to
undertake the selection of a new antiphonal pipe organ to be placed in the
front gallery. I was elected chair of the committee and the work began.
researched. We sought out the counsel of trusted friends. We invited three
builders to "pitch" their company. We sent our organist and music director to listen to
instruments previously built by the front-runners. We discussed and settled
upon Casavant Frères.
Then of course,
we had to get estimates on the total project cost – the expenses of preparing
the space to accept the organ (really the weight of it) and all the associated
costs of readying our front gallery for use by the various church choirs.
John McGee
enlisted some friends to accomplish this funding hurdle. Apparently Chuck
Avampato of the Clay Foundation also has a "history" with organs. The final
piece of the financial puzzle came later when church members Bob and Nancy
Douglas agreed to fund the other needs such as risers for choirs, tables for
bells, audio and visual equipment, etc.
Once the
contract was signed, the work began in earnest in Quebec in early 2009. About a month ago,
our music director and an organist friend traveled to Quebec to inspect the instrument in the
Casavant workshop. They were thrilled!So, here we
are. A crew from Casavant will begin assembling this "King of Instruments" in
the front gallery with cranes, scaffolding and manpower.
Now – this
is not to diminish the fame and reputation of the fabulous Fisk tracker organ
which occupies our rear gallery.
Lest you doubt, the 2006 search committee for
our current music director received resumes from all over the world – nearly
half from organists who wanted to lay their hands on our Fisk. It will remain
in service, and services at FPC.
Since pipe
organs generally last 100-150 years (longer if you really take care of them!),
the acquisition of a new one is a monumental task in many respects.
NOTE: And why "Delivering the baby"? That's my personal take on it. The Fisk is about 30 years old, so this instrument is definitely the "baby." I've nicknamed it Cassie - for Casavant. It's designed to be more flexible and sensitive, so I figure it's a girl. Call it profiling.
Next: Some assembly required
This Thursday, the West Virginia University Symphony Orchestra will play a concert featuring Béla Bartók's Viola Concerto and Sergei Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5.
The viola soloist is Maggie Snyder. We last spoke right before her Carnegie Hall debut last year in May. We caught up briefly today to talk about the music she'll be playing at this week's concert.
Take a few minutes to listen to her thoughts on Bartók's Viola Concerto (and whether the viola is really killing composers):
The concert will be conducted by Dr. Mitchell Arnold, Director of Orchestral Activities at WVU. Here's how he describes Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony: "Some composers strive to write symphonies that capture all the joy, grief, tragedy and comedy of life. Few succeed as well as Prokofiev. No wonder this is one of the most popular works written in the 20th century."
You can hear more of Maestro Arnold's thoughts on music in our interview from November 2009.

To most, Teller is the silent half of the
skeptical magic duo Penn & Teller. Offstage, he is as articulate as Penn
Jillette is verbose, and is as charming a conversationalist as I've met.
Also, he is an amateur keyboardist who finally bought a really nice
"As exquisite as St. Matthew's Passion
or the Mass in B Minor might be-- and they are -- I don't like music that
asserts itself before it justifies itself. Firepower doesn't impress
me. I'm much fonder of the small work. You're engaged by the net of
counterpoint, then the emotional aspect of it is overwhelming, because you're
so much closer to it in a smaller, more personal way, and that's powerful for
me. Much more so, in fact." This is interesting talk coming from a guy
whose professional life includes dumping a bunny into a woodchipper, but a
second look at Teller's signature onstage moments brings it clearer. The cups
and balls, sophisticated revamps of ancient card tricks, the shadow play with
the rose -- these are small moments done with virtuosity and with a beautiful
eccentricity that would -- to a Bach fan -- suggest Glenn Gould. And
Teller is quite the fan of Glenn Gould.
"With Gould, there's the sense that
either he has the best idea or the weirdest. His recordings of the partitas are my favorite, just for the way he unlocked the rhythmic power of
that work. Certainly he understood what a jig is.
"[Gould] was himself a showman about
himself as much as he was for much of the music he played, certainly, and
there's an always an aspect of him that comes from 'This is Glenn Gould plays
this work' as much as the work itself. Which can certainly result in some
performances that don't work so well, and one either loves or hates that about
him. Gould is certainly the central fact of anything he plays."
(Don't be shocked that he knows this
stuff. I have an email correspondence with Teller where we discussed Art
of the Fugue for a few weeks, and his assessment of the work and what Bach's
intent for it was would make for a small and very lively, insightful book.) If there is a North Star in Teller's Bach
Heaven, it is Wanda Landowska. Her recording of the Well-Tempered Clavier (Book I cut for RCA Red Seal in 1951, Book II three years later) remains one of
the benchmarks of baroque music, and the depth and vitality of her playing did
much -- worlds, even -- to restore Bach's popularity as history's greatest
composer. Her importance to Bach -- along with Pablo Casals'-- cannot
possibly be overstated.
I asked Teller if he grew up with her
records. His hometown is Philadelphia, a city with a long and very amazing
orchestral tradition. His parents were artists, and they lived walking
distance from the Academy of Music.
"No. I discovered Landowska in
college, actually, at Amherst.
"I wasn't a good student. I was
always behind in everything, and I had a final on the Iliad, in Greek.
The night before the test, I just decided to plow through [the book] as much as
I could, and I was exhausted and restless.
"I heard this music down the hall,
coming from the room of my friend David Corcoran, and it was Landowska's recording of the WTC. So I went to his room, and studied the Greek with
Landowska in the background, until 4 a.m., at which point I was of course
completely exhausted, and then I went back to my room, where for the next three
hours, I would wake to this dream -- I was traumatized -- where Greek text was
rolling past my eyes as Wanda played."
I forgot to ask if he passed. But
the contrapuntal music switch was thrown.
"I absolutely pursued Landowska, of
course, and -- at the same time -- it opened the Dangerous Door to Bach.
"Deep in my Landowska phase, I was a
first year schoolteacher in a suburb of Trenton, NJ, and I read that there was going to be a harpsichord
festival in Princeton, which was very close by. There were
performers, films, including interviews with Landowska. I was thrilled
that this was happening so close to home.
"I went, and Ralph Kirkpatrick was
there, and he was very good. But Igor Kipnis blew me away.
"He had his Rutkowski & Robinette
harpsichord, which was of course not period precise. The harpsichord of
Bach's day was smaller and lighter. It wasn't designed to be shipped to
recitals. Kipnis' harpsichord had a metal frame so it could withstand
travel, and it had two manuals. Kipnis came out dressed in a red and
purple velvet jacket, which wasn't exactly traditional concert dress, but it
was his version of it, or at least his nod to it.
"He played two of the little pieces
from [Bach's] Anna Magdalena notebooks, just clearly as a warmup, but it was ...
These were beginner pieces, but he invested them with something that was just
"Then he spoke to the audience about
the Goldberg Variations, which he was about to play, and he was articulate, and
he had some jokes even, and I loved it and him for it, because he presented
himself as a human being. As he was concluding his introduction of the
work, he sat down, remarked on the virtuosity of the harpsichordist for whom it
was named [Johann Gottlieb Goldberg], then turned to the audience with impeccable
comic timing and said, 'And the snot was only fifteen!'
"Then he proceeded to play the
Goldberg's so... Well, there's an old story about a competition of improvisers
in Bach's day, and a theme is handed to each contestant and each contestant is
to improvise a fugue. And the last
contestant improvises his fugue, and the judge says, 'Either that was an angel
from heaven, or it is JS Bach himself!', and that was Kipnis that day. He
was transporting. At the end of it, the audience leaped to our feet
because we had no choice.
"For an encore, he played the C minor
prelude from Book I of the WTC, and he improvised a cadenza that was ... It was
one of those evenings of music that becomes the standard you hold. The
only other performance up to that point that had that effect on me was a
concert I saw at Amherst in 1969 by (percussionist) Olatunji."
Years after this performance, Teller and
Kipnis became friends.
Also, Penn & Teller became, well, Penn & Teller.
Teller has a funny habit of
depersonalizing any mention of his own wealth or fame. He never refers to
"I" or "me" in this situation, but rather "one",
and when I ask him how he came to acquire his new harpsichord, he says as
"When one decides one has enough
disposable income, one Googles 'Pleyel.'"
The provenance for the harpsichord he
finally bought last year is impressive. It was built in 1937 by Pleyel
for pianist Arthur Shattuck.
"He'd loaned it to Wanda Landowska
around 1942 until about 1945. She used it as a teaching instrument,
apparently. Wanda was just a bully," he laughs, "and suggested he
'donate' the instrument to her."
(The instrument is described as being in
Landowska's apartment in Our Two Lives,
Halina Rodzinski's memoir of her life with husband, conductor Artur Rodzinski.)
According to both the provenance and a few
conversations with Landowska's life partner Denise Restout, Landowska was fond
of this harpsichord and tried to reacquire the instrument more than once, and actually
kept close tabs on it up until the end of her life. She never got
it. Shattuck donated it to the Appleton Conservatory in Appleton, WI.
Teller acquired it in February of
'09. I saw him a few months later, and he told me of his purchase all the
glee of a high school baseball fan who had just acquired a Reggie Jackson game
ball. I asked him how hard it was to care for the instrument in the
desert heat.
"A harpsichord meets the Nevada desert with a mighty boom," he said with
giddy gravity.
After several attempts to keep the studio
room in his home adequately humid -- "I almost suffocated trying to keep
the air sufficiently moist" -- he settled on a Dampp-Chaser instrumental
humidifier system, which attaches to the underside of the soundboard.
"It keeps the humidity at the desired
level with a system of pads that soak and evaporate. Daniel Enet, who
tunes all the Penn and Teller keyboard instruments once a month, takes care of
the more sensitive aspects of the instrument's care and feeding. He is an
artist as very few are."
So what do you play on your new Pleyel?
"I've got the Kalmus books of the Two- and Three-Part Inventions and the WTC. I have the Vertag edition of
the Anna Magdalena notebooks. I have one called Easier Piano Pieces. I
prefer any edition that doesn't require I turn a page."
He laughs again, but he speaks with awe
and reverence for the instrument itself.
"It's a substantial instrument, more
than any I've ever even sat at before. It has seven pedals, and it's all
so confusing to me that I actually made labels with the label gun to keep it
"The sound it makes is so much more
satisfying than any keyboard instrument I've ever played before. It has a
huge, masculine voice, and to play it and hear it come back at you is like
plucking your own nerves. I've been playing -- slowly, of course, not
sight reading anything at tempo, mind you -- through some of the three-part inventions,
which I've never really tried to play through before, and it's like the skies
opening up, every time I get through something.
"I feel like I'm cheating. This
instrument is ... I'm starting with materials that are so rich. I'm not
making anything from scratch. Even my atonal improvised noodling sounds amazing
on this instrument."
Around this point, our conversation moves
into a whole other phase, and we're soon enough discussing the Smothers
Brothers with deep admiration. Then computers. It's the broad
conversation we've had for years now.
His acquisition of the Pleyel means
that he'll have something new on which to report, whether it's the care and
feeding of this incredible instrument, or even that he can play one of the Goldberg
Variations at tempo. Then, of course, we'll debate as to what that would
be, as Bach didn't leave much in the way of tempo markings.... Skip Heller is mostly a country singer, but is sometimes a jazz, guitarist,
film/cartoon composer, music journalist, or chamber music composer. His
most recent release, The Long Way Home, will be available in March on the
Tallulah label.
Clarinetist Larry Combs of South Charleston was this year's inductee from the world of classical
music. In the program, he performs
selections from Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, along with the Montclaire String Quartet.
The other inductees featured
during the program are: Nat Reese, the Bailes Brothers, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Frank DeVol, Doc and
Chickie Williams, and Don Redman.
So tune in (or set your TiVos/DVRs) and check out all
of this great music, Friday night on WV PBS. Here's a preview:

The West Virginia Youth Symphony is celebrating its 60th birthday this season.
They plan to celebrate this
spring with a concert and gala reception May 2,
at 3:00 pm at the Clay Center.
Before then, they are trying
to reach all former members of the West Virginia Youth Symphony or the Kanawha
Valley Youth Orchestra in order to invite them to the celebration.
heard from some alumni dating back the orchestra's first year, and they are
looking to reach as many others as possible.
you played in the West Virginia Youth Symphony or the Kanawha Valley Youth
Orchestra, email firstname.lastname@example.com
or call (304) 561-3542 to get back in touch. If
you know someone else who was in the orchestra, be sure to share this info with
This Friday, the Wheeling Symphony continues to celebrate its 80th season, with a concert featuring soloists from the orchestra. Violinist Rachel Stegman, oboe player Robert Driscoll, Jr., and harpist Fran Duffy will be leaving their customary seats and step out in front of the orchestra to play music by Handel and Bach, Friday at the Capitol Theater in Wheeling.
Take just a couple minutes to listen to Maestro Andre Raphel
Smith talk about the concert:
In addition to these "Baroque jewels" by Bach and Handel, the
orchestra will offer some romantic and classical music – Valse Triste by Sibelius and Mozart's Symphony No. 41 ("Jupiter").

Long gone are the days in which a composer
hands over a score or sheet music and says, "I wrote an opera, are you
interested?" It takes too much effort on the part of these opera companies.
Also, I have discovered that many artistic directors do not read music, so a score is
superfluous. I made the decision to "produce my opera in order to get it
Now, I don't have the money to actually produce an opera. I
realized I needed to create a packaged product, that I could send to opera
companies. I knew I had to make it as informative about the the project without
the the time, money, and energy that goes into staging a new work.
So in February 2009, I created a highlights CD for voice and
piano and a Listening Companion, as a guide to the music in the opera. It was a compromise between sending an opera
company a full libretto and a MIDI CD and producing the entire opera on a CD.
You see, technology in music can help and hurt you. It is
easier today to get a good quality recording of live voices than it was 5 years
ago. Many of the professional companies look at MIDI recordings as a rough
draft and are often suspect, because MIDI can play back anything, even beyond
the capabilities of a human voice. Therefore, they are not always convinced
that the music is playable.
I had grant money, (about $2000) from the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur to record the works. There are also grants available from the state and
federal government, and they are more likely to give you money if you have a
structure set up, i.e hall space, performer, an estimate from the sound
engineer. I had enough for a few singers, but I couldn't afford a full choir.
I paid singers from the College-Conservatory of Music to sing the
three lead roles and a slightly lower fee to a soprano, alto, tenor,
and bass to be utilized in the chorus. I invited music directors to share the news about the project
with their choirs and asked for volunteers.
As a results, there were 45 choir members from eleven different
churches. I rehearsed with the paid singers on a Thursday morning, and the
choir on a Thursday night. We rehearsed together on a Friday, in which I placed
the four singers to lead each voice section. We recorded on Saturday. It was a
whirlwind, but it was done...I now had a product in which I could send off to opera companies and other groups.
Here's a selection from that recording session. Check back next week for more, in the fifth installment of "From Idea to Opera."
February 12th is Abraham Lincoln's birthday (and mine!)
Many people have been inspired by Lincoln, including classical music composers. Lincoln's words and the story of his life have found their way into several pieces of music. Throughout our Classical Music program on Lincoln's birthday this year, I'll be playing music connected to Abraham Lincoln.
The most of famous of these pieces is Aaron Copland's Lincoln Portrait, for orchestra and narrator, which was composed in 1942. This past November, the West Virginia University Symphony Orchestra, directed by Mitchell Arnold (interview), with narration by Christopher Wilkinson (interview), performed Lincoln Portrait. We'll feature a recording from that concert at the end of the program.
A new piece by Michael Daugherty, called Letters from Lincoln, has just been recorded by Thomas Hampson and the Spokane Symphony, conducted by Eckart Preu. Daugherty sets Lincoln's letters as an orchestral song cycle, which we'll also be broadcasting.
Last year, Naxos Records released a must-have set for those interested in Lincoln and music. The two-CD set is called Abraham Lincoln Portraits. It includes Copland's Lincoln Portrait, and also has music by Ives, Persichetti, Roy Harris, Morton Gould, and several others. We'll be broadcasting a few of these pieces throughout the day on West Virginia Public Radio.
I hope you can tune in to celebrate Lincoln and hear some of this music. The show is 11am-3pm (Eastern); you can listen here online or on the radio. Here's a nice essay on Lincoln's connections to music. Also, composer Roy Harris was born on February 12th (in 1898 or 1901 -- depending on who you believe).
native Mark McVey will be performing with the West Virginia Symphony this Friday and Saturday in Charleston.
You can listen to my radio story about his upcoming concert here: "Huntington Native Returns to Perform with WV Symphony."
McVey last sang with the WV Symphony two years ago as part
of gala concert. His performance of "Bring Him Home" from Les Mis was (of course) wonderful, and I was really taken with his dark, dramatic interpretation of "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera (so often I've heard people ignore the creepy undertones and sing it as a plain love song). Before that concert, we spoke then
about his journey from singing in church choirs in Huntington
to starring on Broadway. That 2008 interview, which hasn't been available online since we
moved to our new site, is now available right here:

Last year during the Super Bowl, I heard a few commercials using classical music. I caught two this
year, with some help (thank you, @MMmusing)
For those who prefer the arena of love to football stadium -- Yesterday's radio program included music for Viola d'Amore,
and I described the instrument briefly. You
can see some beautiful pictures on the Viola d'Amore Blog maintained by Mauro Righini. Violist Garth Knox has one of my favorite non-traditional albums of Viola d'Amore music
Speaking of "amore," let me know if you have any romantic
classical music requests this week. Just
send me an email.
In other news, looks like Santana is not the only one who has borrowed from Brahms. Last week, we featured Brahms's Symphony No. 4 (from
the new Berlin/Rattle Complete Brahms Symphonies set ). A listener named David called in to mention that the progressive rock band Yes had
their own interpretation of this music:
Here's Carlos Kleiber and the Bavarian State Orchestra, with
a more… traditional…version:
I knew that the music had to represent the characters and the worlds in which they originate. As I described earlier, Sr. Dorothy's musical language begins as very "Western" (i.e. religious and classical) and gradually becomes influenced by the Brazilian landscape. By the end of the first act, her music sounds more Brazilian than Western. In the second act, her musical language turns into one of transcendence as her role of martyr becomes more evident.
Other characters, including Luiz, begin with Brazilian rhythms and harmonies and are influenced by Sr. Dorothy's musical language, reflecting her influence on the Brazilian people.
I chose serial techniques for Vito. My treatment of the 12-tone practice is not extreme, and it affects how the character is portrayed. Regardless of the universe around him, Vito is unchanged. By treating his music more mathematically, the result reflects the selfishness in his character. Regardless if the Brazilian people are succeeding and the land grants are helping the poor, Vito does not care. His land = his land, so his music = no change.
I use an inversion of the tone row when any other character acts corrupt, greedy, or apathetic to signify that Vito's influence is everywhere!
As the plot unfolds, certain motives reoccur to drive the message home. The "inevitability motive" and the "beatitudes motive are the most prevalent, yet the opera is filled with many, many layers.
Once the music was written, then the hard part began ... getting it off the page and onto the stage. More about that next week in Part Four.

Congratulations and thank you for meeting
the Chocolate Challenge, by helping West Virginia Public Radio reach our
fundraising goal a day early! Friday
night, right before we reached the goal, I learned about a neat musical story.
Tom Burger, who in 1974 was the first Charleston producer for public radio, returned to the
air to help out with fund drive Friday night.
His wife Bettijane and daughter Renee were helping out by answering phones,
while the volunteers were being coordinated by Renee's husband, Todd Frymyer,
who works here at WV Public Broadcasting in the development department.
During a brief lull in the calls,
Bettijane told me a story about one of their musical relatives:
My aunt, the
late Esther Dickey of Georgia, was the oldest surviving alumna of
Eastman School of Music when she died at the age of 97 a few years ago. At 97,
she was still playing the piano for her retirement community and by ear! Esther
was a classmate of composer and conductor Frederick Fennell, and her diploma
was signed by composer Howard Hanson.

The family has kept that diploma under

You can also see Howard Hanson's signature
up close:
From Bettijane's description and from what I've read online, Esther was a remarkable woman. Hearing about her and seeing these pictures of her diploma has had me thinking about music history and personal connections. It's special, even if I can't quite put together the right words to describe why I'm now so drawn to this story. I just know that I wanted to share some of her story, and these pictures, with others who might interested too.

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums has recognized the Toledo Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo for their exceptional efforts in habitat preservation, species restoration and support of biodiversity in the wild.
Specifically, the Significant Achievement in International Conservation award recognizes success with the Kihansi spray toad reintroduction program. AZA leaders announced the award at the AZA's national conference Sept. 7–12.
"The Bronx Zoo and Toledo Zoo are proven leaders in international wildlife conservation," said Jim Maddy, president and CEO of AZA. "While all AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums make conservation a top priority, this award brings well-deserved recognition to the Bronx Zoo and Toledo Zoo for making a positive impact on the future of this species."
In 2009, the species was declared extinct in the wild. In 2012, after more than a decade of maintaining assurance populations at their facilities, the Toledo Zoo and its conservation partners released Kihansi spray toads to their native habitat in Tanzania.
Toledo Zoo staff involved with this project include R. Andrew Odum, curator of herpetology and assistant director of animal programs, along with a team of herpetologists. Assurance populations of the toads continue to thrive in the zoo's Amazing Amphibians exhibit, where visitors can see the animals and observe staff caring for them in a biosecure lab.
"So few people in the world ever have a chance to see a species that has vanished from the wild – and even fewer get to see animals that are destined to travel to the other side of the world for reintroduction into their native habitat," said Odum. "We are proud to accept this award, but we are even prouder of our work on this project; the reintroduction of these toads marks a long-term, dedicated team effort among conservationists worldwide."

SPOKANE -- The Hoopfest elite competition is as good as its ever been before. After the first day of action, we now have a clearer picture of who might take home the championships.
Defending Men's Over 6' Elite champion Tonicx (called Team Tonicx last year), made up of former Gonzaga star David Pendergraft and Ferris High School product Erik Benzel, looks poised to make another run. They easily won their first two games of the tournament on Saturday. They return to action at Nike Center Court on Sunday at 9am.
In the Men's 6' & Under Elite competition, three-time defending champion Associated Messenger also advanced with ease on Saturday. They play at 9am on Sunday against LWS Finest.
The Women's Elite tournament is wide open since defending champ EXLGS (better known as "Ex-Lady Griz") is not back in 2010. One of the strongest contenders was expected to be Sports Cellar, a team made up of former Gonzaga women's basketball players Heather Bowman and Vivian Frieson, but they lost in their opening game on Saturday. Sports Cellar can still climb its way into the title through the losers bracket.
Champions will be crowned on Sunday at Nike Center Court. The Women's Elite title tilt is scheduled for 3:30pm. The Men's 6' & Under Elite championship is set to start at 5:30pm, while the Men's Over 6' Elite trophy will be handed out around 6:15pm.
Tune into KREM 2 News and KREM.com on Sunday for highlights and postgame reaction from all the championships.

Leadership during World War II
In a sense, the whole of Churchill's previous career had been a preparation for wartime leadership. An intense patriot; a romantic believer in his country's greatness and its historic role in Europe, the empire, and the world; a devotee of action who thrived on challenge and crisis; a student, historian, and veteran of war; a statesman who was master of the arts of politics, despite or because of long political exile; a man of iron constitution, inexhaustible energy, and total concentration, he seemed to have been nursing all his faculties so that when the moment came he could lavish them on the salvation of Britain and the values he believed Britain stood for in the world.
On Sept. 3, 1939, the day Britain declared war on Germany, Chamberlain appointed Churchill to his old post in charge of the Admiralty. The signal went out to the fleet: Winston is back. On September 11 Churchill received a congratulatory note from Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt and replied over the signature Naval Person; a memorable correspondence had begun. At once Churchill's restless energy began to be felt throughout the administration, as his ministerial colleagues as well as his own department received the first of those pungent minutes that kept the remotest corners of British wartime government aware that their shortcomings were liable to detection and penalty. All his efforts, however, failed to energize the torpid Anglo-French entente during the so-called phony war, the period of stagnation in the European war before the German seizure of Norway in April 1940. The failure of the Narvik and Trondheim expeditions, dependent as they were on naval support, could not but evoke some memories of the Dardanelles and Gallipoli, so fateful for Churchill's reputation in World War I. This time, however, it was Chamberlain who was blamed, and it was Churchill who endeavoured to defend him.

A mother who was been arrested for the death of her 2-year-old daughter Thursday according to Citrus County Sheriff's Office records, had her first court appearance Friday morning in Citrus County.
Chelsea Huggett is accused of shaking her daughter Aliyah Marie Branum, and slamming her head into a wall and her crib, until she lost consciousness. Branum died on April 26. No bond is set in Huggett's case.
The arrest affidavit states that Huggett first told deputies her daughter died because her boyfriend had sprayed bug spray. When Branum was taken to the emergency room, doctors there found she had bleeding on her brain, in addition to external bruising and swelling on her face.
The medical examiner later confirmed that the little girl had a frontal skull fracture and "hemorrhaging covering the entire brain area."
Sheriff Dawsy said Huggett later confessed to shaking her daughter because she would not stop "whining". When asked if he thought Huggett "snapped", Dawsy said: "This wasn't snapping. This was a brutal murder."
"I can only use the word horrific end to a 2 year old's life," the Sheriff said.
Detective Craig Fass says Huggett is remorseful.
"She was asked several times what she would tell Aliyah if she could and she apologized and she apologized for killing her," said Fass.
Huggett, who is 8 months pregnant, is charged with murder and aggravated child abuse. She has her dead daughter's name tattooed on her chest.

We stayed for 3 nights over the 4th of July holiday weekend and had a wonderful time at the ranch. Karen and Marty made sure we had everything we needed for the perfect stay. The barn instantly makes you feel at home and loved having the animals right out our doorstep. We stayed in Thursday night and bbq'd and enjoyed the veranda and so glad we did as it was the perfect way to relax and start our weekend off right. It is close to wineries and not far from downtown which adds the benefits. We can not wait to come back!
We had a great time at staying at the Campana Creek Ranch cottage! We wanted a great place to stay with our 2 puppies. The Barn Cottage was immaculate, comfortable and cozy for our relaxing getaway. In the morning, we walked all over the ranch and said hi to the horses (and two mini-horses) and the goat.We would sit out on the back deck and watch the Sunset. The wineries are also very close. We would definitely stay here again!!! Thank you, Karen and Marty
