Injuries have plagued the SPASH gymnastics team. But that didn't stop the Panthers from capturing their second straight conference title last weekend.
SPASH can thank Paige Kurszewski for part of their success. And now she looks to balance her way to the state championships.
The balance beam is only four inches wide. And Kurszewski can tell you that staying on the beam requires a high level of mental toughness.
"It's pretty much the mind game because I know my body can do it and I know I've trained everything," Kurszewski said.
"And I know how to do it but it's just getting over the fear of everything and it's just concentration."
During competition, with the music from the floor exercise competition blaring and the crowd cheering, the SPASH senior does one thing before taking the beam.
"Before I salute, I literally just sit there and stare at nothing and think about nothing and calmness comes over me," Kurszewski said. "It's weird but that's just what I've always done."
And it works. Last Saturday, Kurszewski recorded the highest score on beam at the Great Northern Conference championships.
"Her elegance, she's just really graceful and I don't have to say much in terms of technique," Jennifer Bellmer-Callope said.
"She knows that she has to get her legs straight and she knows that her toes are or not pointed. She knows how to fix things really quick and really efficiently."
And when she falls, her teammates help her get back up.
"You always know there's somebody there for you and it's nice to have somebody to talk to if you mess up and you don't do as well as you wish you would have," Kurszewski said. "There's always somebody to talk to."
Kurszewski hopes she can talk about being in Madison, as she competes to qualify for the state championships this weekend.

Best Way to See Your Gym Stuff
Covering gear for FITNESS, I get sent a lot of stuff. From socks made out of corn to super-powered pogo sticks, it all comes to me. And working in a tiny cubicle, there's nowhere for it to go but on my desk and the surrounding floor. (As an obsessive organizer, this is hard to stand, but you gotta make sacrifices for your job!) So you know that something is worth talking about when it gets as much attention as this bag has. Nestled among a million other workout items, it drew every coworker like the proverbial moth to a flame. They would pick it up, put it on their shoulder, and sashay around asking how it looked. I'm amazed it wasn't stolen!
And this bag is worth the hype. First, the look of it. It has a super-cute little flap that you can unfold and use as handles, as well as a practical shoulder strap. Then inside there's a ton of room for everything gym-related -- and it's still slender enough to fit into lockers. But the best part is that there's also a small flashlight in there! It isn't the strongest beam in the world (don't count on it during a blackout), but it would definitely come in handy those days when I can't seem to find anything -- my keys, my membership card, my hair elastic. In the words of Jonathan Safran Foer, everything is illuminated.

Candice Russell's love affair with Haitian art began in a small, poorly lit restaurant in Washington, D.C.
"It had a low ceiling, dark wood-paneled walls and kind of a dingy atmosphere," says the author of Masterpieces of Haitian Art (Schiffer, $50), who talks about her work Saturday at Books & Books in Coral Gables. "But I felt uplifted and happy in the space. I was trying to account for it. I looked around and saw paintings, seascapes, landscapes, people working in the fields. The colors were very bright. I asked the owner what they were, and he said, 'These are all from Haiti.' "
This brief but memorable introduction led Russell to a new and vibrant world. She made visits to the island, built friendships with artists and dealers and began collecting art and curating exhibits (including Allegories of Haitian Life from the Collection of Jonathan Demme at the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach). Masterpieces, a detailed overview of the past 25 years of Haitian art, is culmination of sorts and a true labor of love.
With forewords by novelist Edwidge Danticat and Arts of Haiti Research Project director LeGrace Benson, the book is packed with stunning reproductions of paintings, Vodou flags, sculpture and mixed-media works. Each photo is accompanied by a brief but insightful description from Russell, which lends the book a conversational and yet still scholarly air. It is, as Benson writes, a "museum in the oldest, best sense of the term — a place where inspiring muses dwell."
It is, says Eveline Pierre, executive director and founder of the Haitian Heritage Museum in Miami, a "signature" book, "a must-have for readers and collectors and people who want to know about Haitian culture."
Russell, an editor at The Parklander magazine who was a film and theater critic at the Sun Sentinel, says the time was ripe for a new book on Haitian art. The last major work on the subject, Where Art is Joy: Haitian Art, The First Forty Years by Selden Rodman, a leading authority on Haitian art and friend and mentor to Russell, was published in 1988. Rodman and Russell co-curated a show based on the book at the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale in 1989.
There have been no major overviews since Rodman's death in 2002, Russell says. And in the wake of 2010's devastating earthquake, which killed hundreds of thousands of people, she felt a new book was necessary.
"So many art lovers and collectors were killed," she says. "So much visual heritage was lost. it was time to write something that showed the world this is what the Haitians produced."
Among the artistic casualties of the disaster: 10,000 works from the George S. Nader Museum and 11 of the famous murals at Holy Trinity Cathedral, both in Port-au-Prince. Earlier this year architects unveiled plans for a new cathedral, which will include the three surviving murals, according to the Episcopal News Service.
"We definitely felt the loss of our brothers and sisters most, but we also thought, 'Oh my God, what about the art,' " says Pierre. "The murals got international recognition. People all over the world went to Haiti to view this piece, and it was lost in the earthquake. ... For you to create your future you have to understand your past, and the book is important because it gives you such a large overview."
Masterpieces of Haitian Art, Russell hopes, goes a way toward refreshing our collective artistic memory. One of her favorite pieces in the book is a painting she owns, Ceremony, an acrylic on masonite by La Fortune Felix, which depicts a complex Vodou ritual.
"I bought it after three months of agonizing over what I thought was the exorbitant price of $300," she says. "I was haunted by the image of this man on a theatrical platform. He was nude. ... I didn't understand the imagery then. But I hung it in my living room, and my sister-in-law at the time came to my house and railed to my husband against it. She was so offended. I thought, 'Hey, I'm onto something if I can offend someone with a painting and still have no idea what it means.' "
Russell — who now understands Ceremony as a piece in which "[s]pirits come alive and humans risk death in this cosmic dance" — surrounds herself with all sorts of Haitian works.
"I get so much pleasure from them," she says. "These paintings and artworks have so much spirit, so much liveliness. The stories behind them are fascinating. The conditions under which they are made are amazing. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and yet look at the visual output. ...
"Here we have Art Basel, and that's extremely important, but this is art from a third-world country. First-world country art gets the lion's share of attention. This was created in a country not sitting at political conferences."
Designer Susan Karten of Boca Raton, a collector of Haitian art who owns seven of the pieces in Russell's book, lived in Haiti for 15 years and believes Masterpieces of Modern Art is important in many ways.
"Haiti has such resiliency to disaster and hardship, and the art is indicative of that," Karten says. The book, she believes, "could be a great introduction to Haitian art." But it also serves another purpose: "The future of Haiti depends upon the young, and the book covers many young and relatively unknown artists. The future of the country includes putting the country in a different light. Everyone perceives it in such a negative light. But it's a very special, magical place."
Russell concurs: "Haiti has been the adventure of my life."

Very cool car. by David from Houston on 06/01/2012. Trim: 2012 Dodge Challenger R/T, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Hands down the most responsive car I have ever owned. Acceleration is fantastic (especially listening to the HEMI engine), handles and brakes extremely well. Inside, the seats are very comfortable and controls are at your finger tips. The sound system and nav are a plus. Outside, the styling is so cool that people actually ask about the car where ever i go and it gets a lot of complements. If you turn on the sport mode while test driving it, you probably wont want to get out of the car!
Cons: I've been sitting here for 5 minutes and cant think of anything I don't like about the car.
Overall review: I have to admit- I was just stunned when i first drove this car. If you are looking for a car that you can get and stay excited about, this is it. I have the RT Classic with the 5.7 HEMI, super trac pak and Goodyear F1 tires.

This is the time of year I usually start thinking about filing my taxes. It's late, I know. But I have a hard time facing it. All that paperwork is enough to make the most ardent liberal fantasize about a flat rate. The worst part is that no one ever lets you know what good your money does. You don't even get an itemized receipt.
According to a tax calculator by a group called Third Way, here's what my $22,000 in federal taxes bought last year: $4,462 worth of Social Security (not bad if it still exists when I'm old) and $4,436 for the military (I know I'm splurging, but those fighter jets aren't going to build themselves).

Hey all, I just noticed something today, whenever I search something on Google, I always get results in Texas. So I decided to open up Google Maps, and learn the browser access my location, and it showed that I was in Texas.
Anyone know what might be causing this issue? I did the test on my iPhone that is connected to the same wifi, but I'm not having any issues there.

I looked at the now silvery pink scars that ran down my entire arm. Had he really done this? Had he really scarred me for life?
It made sense that I would get hurt, I hadn't wanted to see myself fighting my best friend. I hadn't opened my
eyes once.
Had I really been angry enough to attack him? My hands shook with fury. I
wasn't angry with him, I couldn't stay mad at him; I had never been able to. I was mad at myself. Mad at myself because I had been so
close to hurting him. When all he
had done was try to protect me.
"Kensee, I'm so sorry. Please, you have to forgive me." I hadn't heard him come up behind me, but now that I knew he was
there, I couldn't help but be angry.
"Look at what you did! And all you wanted to do was help!" I held out my arm so he could see it… still without ever looking at his face.
"Please, look at me! You have to believe me! I… that… that wasn't me!" His words forced me to
turn around and look at him in disgust.
"What do you mean it wasn't you, you-" I stopped, unable to think around the feeling overcoming me now. He looked at me like a blind man seeing the light for the first
time. I must have been staring at
him the same way. The fragile
lines that ran down my arm had not only caused me pain, but had also given me a
reason to turn around and face the one thing that was my life now. My only reason for living.

Wow..Im glad you posted again..I was beggining to wonder..Lmao
I love it..Im glad Austin and Kensee are good
I wanna see action between Austin and Roark..Jealousy...lol
Cant wait for more
i hope that you update soon!!!!
i love the story!!
"Kensee, please don't argue… just trust me. You've blown out almost all of your "patrol clothes" and you've outgrown all your school clothes. Whether or not you want to shop with me today, you're going to." Alice dragged me behind her, into the biggest mall in Seattle. Apparently Port Angeles wasn't good enough for this shopping trip.
"Alice, I really don't think this is necessary now… it can wait a week or two can't it?"
"I've already waited as long as I could! Yesterday, you wore sweats to school Kensee! Sweats!" she spat the word out as if it tasted bad in her mouth.
"They were exercise pants, for one, and two, they were Burberry for crying out loud!"
"You still wore them!" I sighed, and continued to let her drag me further into the mall. There was no winning with Alice.
"Just pretend this isn't going to be as much of a hassle as it will end up being in the end."
"Are you telling me this or yourself?"
"Does it matter?"
"I guess not…"
"Then don't worry about it."
"Sure thing Alice… sure thing."
Jane and Bailey weren't even on my side. They followed behind Alice and Rosalie, throwing clothes over their arms for me to try on. Jane and Bailey were looking for patrol clothes for me, while Alice and Rosalie were looking for "normal" clothes. You could hardly call $300 shirts and $500 pants normal clothes, but they threw them over their shoulders without a care in the world.
And of course there was always the icing on the cake; Bailey and Jane were grabbing ridiculously bright and fluorescent jogging pants and sports bras… for some reason they seemed to believe that the brighter the clothes were the better.
"It'll be easier for you to find them in the dark!" Bailey said enthusiastically as she grabbed another bright pink jogging shirt.
"For one: It's not like I'm jogging down a highway at night… the point is for people not to see me. And two: I didn't have a problem seeing my clothes before…"
"Well, don't you hide them in the woods or something?"
"Yes… but I know where I keep them… we keep the right by the house."
"But these colors are so fun!"
"You should have stayed in Florida…" she giggled and gasped in excitement as Jane threw a fluorescent green pair of shorts at me. Bailey picked them out of the air before they could hit me.
"I'm keeping these for myself! These are amazing!" I rolled my eyes and went to sit by myself on a bench right outside of the store they were in.
I took three steps towards the bench, and almost turned back around and ran into the store again. But of course my luck got the better of me; Roark turned around at the same time I did.
"Kensee, is that you?" No kidding, who else would it be? I spun around, an obvious grimace clear on my face. My hands and arms began to shake. In an effort to try and keep myself under control, I clenched my teeth.
"Roark. Great. Thanks for ruining my day."
"You don't have to be so hostile. It really is unattractive."
"I suppose I should thank you… after all, if it wasn't for you being an ass, I would have never realized who I 'm meant to be with." He rolled his eyes dramatically and changed the subject. I sensed a small amount of jealousy and smiled, it would be fun to use it to my advantage.
"I don't see you around school much anymore."
"Its because I'm avoiding you, I thought it was pretty clear myself, but then again maybe its not so obvious to an idiot."
"Now that's just rude."
"So is what you did to me."
"I thought you were thanking me for that, though."
"I was being sarcastic. If I were thanking you, I would be much happier."
"Are all the girls in the Cullen family this way, or is it just you?" he sneered.
"Oh no, it's all of us. You mess with one of us you mess with them all. So I would be careful if I were you… just a thought."
"What are a bunch of rich, snobby girls going to do to me?"
"Rip your head off. Shove you through a wall."
"I'd like to see you try."
"And I'd like to see what your face looked like if we ever did try."
"What's up with your arms Kensee? It looks like you're having a seizure."
I looked down to see me arms shaking harder than they had before.
"It's none of your business." I muttered before turning around and walking quickly back into the store. I almost ran into Alice as she made her way out.
"What's wrong?"
"Lets get out of here. Please." I glanced over at the bench where Roark sat, staring. Alice followed my line of sight, and let out a hiss.
"I'm with you. We're done with this mall. The other malls have better stores anyway." Alice led the way past the bench where Roark said, and to the escalators.
Our mood for shopping had evaporated by them time we got to the cars, so instead of going somewhere else, we loaded up and drove home.
"I could kill him… I could-"
"Austin, honestly, it's not that big of deal. I made it worse by making my stupid remarks. Don't do anything you're going to regret, please."
Austin had been fuming for almost an hour now, growing angrier and angrier by the second.
"It makes me sick to think that he even has the nerve to talk to you!"
"That's enough Austin! Now all you're doing is reminding me of something that ruined my day, so please stop." He grew silent, looking at me apologetically. I felt bad for phrasing it the way I had, but I really just wanted him to stop talking about it.
"Sorry…" he mumbled, pulling me into a hug. He let his hands linger on my waist as I pulled away.
"It's fine." I smiled, and leaned in to give him a kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too." He kissed me back. We stood staring at each other for a moment before he broke the silence. "So what did Alice buy you?"
"Everything." I mumbled dramatically. To be honest, I really wasn't sure what all I had been bought. I saw a few bags from Victoria's Secret, and swooped in to grab them before Austin could search through those… who knew what Alice could have bought there. I threw them in the closet before Austin even knew what I had done.
"What was that?"
"Nothing…" I grinned, and began to go through the clothes and separate them to be put in the closet, or in my dresser.
There were a lot of fluorescent colored sports bras, and jogging clothes that were supposed to be for my "patrol clothes" when in all honesty, I probably would only wear them to sleep in. There were a few pairs of sweats and t-shirts that had been bought for me… so I could always use those.
Most of the normal clothes, were perfect for the "new" me though. They were made to look thick, but were really thin enough not to suffocate me, of make me sweat out all the water in my body. Most of the jeans were cotton, rather than real denim. The shirts were as thin and lacey, there wasn't much to the shirts, so I would have to wear an undershirt at the very least, but that I could deal with.
The sweatshirts and jackets were made to look thick, but really were a waste of money; they were almost as thin as the shirts.
I had been bought a few pairs of boots; all of them except for one pair were made of some kind of thin fabric.
There were two pairs of flip-flops amongst the shoeboxes, along with a few pairs of strappy sandals, and a couple pairs of heels.
A few pairs of cotton pajamas had been bought, and to top it off, all the mysteriously lacey items in the bags I had thrown in the closet, which quite frankly, gave me the heebie jeebies.
The entire shopping trip, not counting anything the others might have bought for themselves, would have cost around $2500 dollars or better. The sad thing was, though, it was probably one of the cheaper Cullen family shopping trips.
Even after I went to bed, I still couldn't sleep. My run-in with Roark would be keeping me up all night… that was just how my mind tended to work.
Austin tried a hundred times to take my mind off of the horrible urge I had had to rip Roark's head off… but it was no use.
So now I sat in the dark silence, listening to Austin snore beside me, fuming over everything that had happened that day.
It was just my luck that today was Sunday… that meant school in the morning. I had already missed enough school this year, and I couldn't afford to miss anymore.
Looks like I was going to school in the morning.That should end up interesting.

Tjörn, Sweden
I made two dresses out of the same pattern (burda style magazine 1/2010 Cap-sleeve Mini Dress #130), one for fall/winter in wool and one for spring/summer in cotton. Just love both of them!
Ps, sorry for the lousy pictures : )
Feb 5, 2012, 01.34 PMby guerillaembroidery
Hi, I;m wondering if you can help me. I have cut out my pattern of this dress, but the sleeve pattern is for a full length not a cap sleeve! Did you have this problem?
Feb 7, 2012, 09.35 AMby Judy Garland
No, I did not have that problem, but maybe there is a line ON the long sleeve part that you can follow to make the cap sleeves? It's now year ago that I made the dresses and I don´t really remember if that was the case or if the cap sleeve was a seperate part in itself. I hope this will help ypu, otherwise I really don't have any good advise exept maybe to make the dress sleeveless, like my summerversion : )

Your versions of this pattern really made me want to get the pattern, both dresses are beautifully sewn!!
Apr 13, 2011, 07.34 PMby mrsbutters
These are great! Definitely going to try this one out.

Your dresses are so cute! Especially I love the wool one. I'm thinking of making this dress too and I have a question, are these cap sleeves comfortable?
Apr 12, 2011, 07.25 AMby Judy Garland
Glad that you like the dresses! I also like the wool one the best since it turned out that the material suited the pattern better, I think at least.
To your question, I think that the cap sleeves are comfortable when I wear the dress as it is but it is more easy to slip a cardigan on top of the dress without the sleeves.
I think that you should try to make the dress with the sleeves, and remove the if you don't like it. They were easy to make, and did not need much fabric : )

Pet Stories: In Your Own Words
Let me share a "cat" experience. Until the late 1980's I had little interest in cats. There was the "animal Kingdom" (which I thought about rather abstractly) and that was that. At the time I lived in a commune of sorts. (Yes. Communes were still around in the 80's!).
One of the folks owned a cat named Lilly. On summer nights Lilly got in the habit of jumping onto my bedroom window ledge and talking to me. And always at 3 or 4am. Couldn't get any sleep! So I began to spray her with water. It worked, or so I thought. One night during a storm I was awakened by a loud clap of thunder. I sat up in bed and watched the flickering lightning; now white, now pink,now radiant violet. The trees whispered and swayed and danced in the brightly lit darkness. The gusty wind rushed through the pines and oaks and willows, pushing them to conversation, to wailing, to singing, to laughter. The soaking, sweet scent of thunder saturated ozone brushed against my face. I closed my eyes and smiled. There, amidst the rage,amidst the wild and the fury, I found the calm; that sinking into the half-lit world between wake and sleep; the place of visions. I gazed into the darkness. The storm became dim, far, remote. And the silence grew close, intimate, shrouding me in her cloak.
And the eyes. Those bright, vast, ancient owl eyes. Cat eyes. Wisdom eyes. Old, so old. Before the Earth was born those eyes had planned. planned. When the world was but a dream in the dark womb of space she came from the farther regions; she came to birth, to guide, to evoke.
"Why do you not love my children?"
Since then I found out that perhaps the being I saw that summer night was known to the ancient Egyptians as Bast. Needless to say that I became friends with Lilly and have loved cats ever since. Some esoteric schools say that each animal species in nature is guided in their evolution by a great being known as a group soul. They are very ancient and wise, perhaps from the stars, and with a love of such magnitude that they take on such responsibilities.
What I want to say, is that this being was far older than humanity; possessing individuated self-referencing consciousness-yet beyond that. There was a sense of guardianship to a species; a sense of wise compassion and responsibility; and a type of love that had a direct "in your face" quality. Nothing sentimental about this being at all.
I do not know whether this being was indigenous to our own earth-based guiding spiritual hierarchies or extraterrestrial in origin. But I suggest a possibility: That there are nearly endless arrays of hierarchies of conscious beings existing in the physical and spiritual universes. And the starry distances hold no bounds for them in the deeper layers of consciousness. Some of these beings can clairvoyantly gaze from far off solar systems right down and into our hearts, and know more of us than we do of ourselves. And for me, that gives pause for reflection and self-examination.

Close call with calamity
Volleyball champ survives health scare
No one would ever accuse Fred McConnell of being a couch potato.
At 70, the program head and professor of engineering at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College (JSRCC) is slim and fit, and plays volleyball three nights a week or more.
So McConnell was not too alarmed at first when his heartburn wouldn't go away.
Even after two months, when the chest discomfort did not respond to medication and his doctor recommended a stress test, McConnell shrugged it off.
"I just had a stress test a couple of years ago," he told his doctor -- who checked his records and countered, "No, it's been seven."
In those seven years, said McConnell, stress tests have changed considerably. His 2005 test was conducted on a treadmill with the physician in the room, monitoring his reaction to exertion.
The 2005 diagnosis? Chronic heartburn.
This time, his stress test was the nuclear version, in which a radioactive dye is injected into the bloodstream to help create images of the heart muscle and valves at work. The pictures showed that one of McConnell's heart chambers wasn't filling up as it should, and he was referred to a cardiologist for a heart catheterization.
Still relatively unfazed, McConnell scheduled the catheterization -- then rescheduled it a week later so that he could play in a volleyball tournament first.
"I was afraid they'd find something," he admits now. And find something they did.
'A real mess'
"I was only half awake," said McConnell, as he recalls coming out of the anesthesia after the catheterization. "But I remember the doctor telling me, 'You have a real mess in there.'"
Later, the cardiologist told McConnell he was surprised he had never had a heart attack -- though he saw signs that there may have been one of the "silent" variety.
McConnell consulted with a surgeon, who drew pictures of the three blockages and scheduled him for surgery two weeks later. Since McConnell was on spring break at the time, he asked the surgeon if it was okay to go back to work.
"That depends," answered the doctor. "Is your job stressful?"
McConnell chuckles as he recalls his answer.
"Not for me -- but maybe for my students!"
Finding a substitute to take over at JSRCC for the rest of the semester, McConnell underwent surgery on March 27. During the operation, a fourth blockage was found.
Nine weeks after his quadruple bypass surgery, McConnell traveled to Salt Lake City and won both silver and bronze medals at the USA Volleyball Open National Championships.
Rum and medals
More than 430 teams from around the world competed in the June championships.
A long-time member of the Richmond Volleyball Club, McConnell earned his silver medal as a member of the GROG-65 Team (pictured above) in one session, and his bronze medal in another session as a member of Team SOTA-70.
Team GROG, he says, takes its name from the acronym for "Greater Richmond Old Guys," but the name hardly fits any more. In addition to the Richmond players, McConnell has GROG teammates hailing from Texas, Colorado and Arkansas.
"Grog also was a rum drink for the British Navy," he adds, "so our uniforms have a rum bottle logo."
Last October, he won a gold medal in the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah, on a 65's team that was a blend of RVC and Canadian players. In a couple of weeks, he will head to Utah for this year's Huntsman tournament, and he looks forward to it.
"The weather in Utah is beautiful this time of year," says McConnell. "And it's a well-run tournament -- like a mini-Olympics."
'A second home'
A native of Gate City, Va., McConnell began playing intramural volleyball when he was a student at Virginia Tech. (The loyal Hokie and season ticket holder is actually a "triple dipper," having gotten his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in civil engineering at Tech.) During grad school, he says, "we would get the gym for an hour and play volleyball instead of basketball. The faculty was really into volleyball."
Moving to Richmond in 1972 to teach at the newly-opened JSRCC, following stints at Germana and Wytheville community colleges, McConnell was invited to play in volleyball leagues that eventually formed the basis of RVC (established in 1980).
"Now it's a second home," the Glen Allen resident says of RVC.
At his other second home, JSRCC, McConnell enjoys frequent visits and contacts from former students -- who, he says with a chuckle, "are often shocked to see I'm still teaching."
His daughter, a freshman at Christopher Newport University, recently told him that she had seen his reviews online on "Rate Your Professor" and noted that the only bad rating he got was for giving too much work.
"But I've never had a student come back and say, 'You worked me too hard,'" says McConnell.
"They say, 'Thank you for kicking my butt. I wouldn't have made it at [the four-year institution attended] if you hadn't."
Not long ago, in fact, McConnell says he got an email from a 1981 graduate of JSRCC who went on to get his bachelor's degree and professional engineer license at other schools.
"He said JSRCC was the best school he attended," recalls McConnell, "with the best professors."
At an age when most people have long ago retired, McConnell has no immediate plans to stop working -- or to stop playing volleyball. In fact, he not only goes to rehab once a week, but also frequently works out on the treadmill at Shady Grove YMCA.
"I don't sit around much. I have to [stay in shape] if I'm going to be competitive," he says.
After competing in the USA Open National Championships every year for 23 years, McConnell says he can't single out any one year as his most memorable -- but admits the 2012 Open is likely to stand out in his memory in years to come.
"Any time you get to the medal stand, that's an accomplishment on its own. But nine weeks after heart surgery?" he exclaims, making it clear that his close call with calamity renders the accomplishment all the sweeter.
And McConnell has a word of advice for anyone suffering from what seems to be chronic heartburn.
"If it doesn't go away, see your doctor," he says emphatically. "Especially if you're not active."

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE — Mike Alexander had good news to share Thursday.
At the Partnership Gwinnett economic development effort's Redevelopment Forum, the Atlanta Regional Commission's research division chief shared recently released statistics that showed the number of foreclosure filings in Gwinnett have been cut by more than half.
"Clearly things are improving," Alexander said of the housing statistics that show the end of the Great Recession. "Everyone needs to smile back at me."
While Gwinnett still leads the region in foreclosure filings, Alexander said the number has dropped from 19,000 to 7,000, a good sign that the market is beginning to return.
With building permits doubling this year, Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce Vice President Nick Masino said the annual forum is poised to help people in the industry and elected officials learn the best practices for new growth.
"We've been sowing the seed that our area is the place for redevelopment for five to six years," Masino said. "We have to make sure we have the eye on the ball (for the return of the market)."
About 250 people, including elected officials, government staffers, engineers, builders, architects, bankers and others involved in the development industry, attended Thursday's forum, believed to be the largest one dedicated to redevelopment in the Southeast.
During a morning session, when Alexander talked about the changing demographics in Gwinnett, leaders discussed how housing options should change to match the diverse groups, in terms not just of ethnicity but age and other factors.
"We built this mindset and structure to our codes that created a suburban environment," David Ellis of the Greater Atlanta Homebuilders Association said. "I would never say that the suburban housing patterns are bad. Not everyone is a millenial … But that is something we'll have to keep in perspective as we move forward."
Rick Porter, who has built homes in Gwinnett for nearly 30 years, said county officials have to be more flexible to allow developers to meet a changing demand.
"I made a lot of money on half-acre lots … but it's not going to happen (anymore)," Porter said. "We're going to be taking some risks that the eastern side of the county will not be comfortable with. We've got to do the western side of the county different than the eastern side of the county."

It's time again for one of the most noteworthy of the year's sky shows, the annual Leonids Meteor Shower, which in some years has been spectacular. This year, however, is predicted to be somewhat less so.
The Leonids has been called, in some years, a "meteor storm" (rather than just a "shower"), but reports say this year will be limited to "at best 10 to 15 meteors per hour." The last Leonid storm, with thousands of shooting stars per hour, was in 2002.
A report from MSNBC says there is a reason this year's display is a bit different: "Two peaks of activity, one on Saturday morning and another on Tuesday morning (Nov. 20)."
Watch for the meteors to emanate from the constellation Leo (get it? Leonids?), from around 10 p.m. St. Louis time. MSNBC says "the best views of the Leonids come in the hours between midnight and dawn as Leo gradually climbs higher into the sky."
Best way to watch? Lie outside in a dark place between midnight and dawn. Point your feet east and look carefully.
One of the 10 cool things to know about the Leonids, from Space.com: "Leonids are spawned by the comet Tempel-Tuttle. Every 33 years, it rounds the Sun and then goes back to the outer solar system. On each passage across Earth's orbit, Tempel-Tuttle lays down another trail of debris..."
To watch in Kirkwood, find a place not polluted by light.

A lot can get lost in a lengthy, comprehensive bill aimed at overhauling public education.
Sen. John Unger, D-Berkeley, doesn't want any of the pieces slipping through the cracks.
"It looks like a shell game," Unger told West Virginia Board of Education President Wade Linger while sliding his cupped hands along the desk in front of him.
Unger fired off several questions during a Senate Finance Committee March 14meeting to look at Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's education bill, Senate Bill 359.
The committee substitute for the bill passed the committee , but not unanimously. The recorded "no" votes came from Sens. Unger, Truman Chafin, D-Mingo; Doug Facemire, D-Braxton and Jack Yost, D-Brooke.
The bill is expected to be brought to the full Senate for a vote by the end of this week.
"You've got managers managing managers managing managers," Unger said.
He was calling into question the board's recent decision to hire a director of operations at a rate of $104,000 per year.
Unger asked because the committee was tasked with examining the fiscal impact of S.B. 359, and the bill calls for the state superintendent to cut 5 percent of the staff for Fiscal Year 2014.
Counsel to the committee said that would result in $1.1 million in savings, but Unger asked if the board would cut staff but then hire those same individuals as "contract workers," but Sen. Robert Plymale, D-Wayne, a member of the Senate Finance Committee who also is chairman of the Senate Education Committee, said the bill would prohibit that.
Finance Committee Chairman Roman Prezioso, D-Marion, reminded lawmakers that questions should pertain to the fiscal note for the bill.
West Virginia Superintendent of Schools Jim Phares said the cuts the bill orders would come from the 2013 fiscal budget. Phares said they already had "relinquished" 12 administrative positions, which met and succeeded the 5 percent cut, and they had plans to "repurpose" 16 positions to the state's Regional Education Service Agencies.
Phares deferred to Linger to explain the director of operations position. Linger said last summer, the position was proposed to help respond to the state's education efficiency audit. He said previous superintendent Jorea Marple, who was fired suddenly and without explanation in mid-November, had "shifted" funds from the Department of Education to provide for that position.
Unger asked why, while other state agencies are cutting their budgets by 7.5 percent this year, the board is adding positions.
"It's difficult to cut zero," Linger answered.
Linger said the board also had plans to ask for funds for a lawyer and for a "policy-type position."
"We're attempting to create a staff so we can do our jobs," Linger said. "I think you can see the state board has come and is going through the process, above the board, asking for funding to fund these positions.
"We're not trying to slide around through the system."
Unger said he could see if the board used that process once, though it could happen again.
"I can see this now, a position that goes unfilled at the Department of Education, you shift it over to the Board of Education," Unger said. "The department shows a decrease, and you have an increase."
Linger said there are myriad competing interests in the education realm, and just like the citizen Legislature, board members have day jobs that keep them busy.
"We feel we can be more effective if we have a couple of people in the loop every day keeping things moving for us," Linger said.
Plymale didn't ask Linger any questions, but said he had never had as many meetings with or heard as much candor from a board president in his 21 years in office.
Plymale said he understands wanting to add full-time staff to keep the balls in the air for a part-time body.
Sen. Clark Barnes, R-Randolph, agreed.
"What you're simply doing … is setting up a director of operations to coordinate these four entities that fall within your jurisdiction?" Barnes asked Linger. "I think that's a great idea."
Other fiscal impacts of the bill include: $1.1 million in savings because of the reorganization of professional development; a cost of $37,600 for the statewide student assessment program; a $3.3 million cost to increase pre-K programs; a savings of $2.9 million for allowing personnel to transfer positions; a $1.2 million cost for additional pre-K positions; there is no cost associated with studying planning periods and no cost associated with establishing the teacher loan program, but committee counsel noted that the loan program would only have whatever level of funding the Legislature would provide.

A friend posted this story from The Onion about a family meeting using PowerPoint to determine what topics were safe to discuss at the holiday table.
DELMAR, NY—In an effort to ensure a smooth and enjoyable dinner with their relatives, siblings Jason, Alyssa, and Leslie Conroy reportedly sat down together Tuesday evening for a PowerPoint presentation covering all of the conversation topics that will be off-limits during the family's Thanksgiving gathering. "As you can see here, we're unsure whether or not cousin Jessica is actually college-bound, so we're going to avoid that subject and stick to the key talking points listed in this table," said Alyssa Conroy, 26, during the siblings' 48-slide presentation, which reportedly featured pie charts breaking down the state and national voting histories of extended family members, as well as Venn diagrams illustrating what each relative knows about their father's upcoming surgery…."
(Please click the link. The rest is quite funny.)
So obviously this is a joke but probably not far off from the truth. Of course there are topics that families try to avoid during the holidays. So I am wondering:

Religion, politics, & insurance are not welcome. Especially if you want to promote Obamacare. chool grades of children…it just comes out as your need to brag. Past stupid actions-including previous relationships nobody liked or that at 17 you wrecked the car. Happy Thanksgiving!

Honestly there are no topics off limits at our house. But I know we're not the norm in that we actually discuss everything.
November 22nd, 2013
7:30 am
We can talk about pretty much anything, including politics. We don't all agree, but have historically been able to manage polite debate about all sorts of sensitive topics. It's important for us to show our kids how to have a discussion about any topic.
I actually respect the people who will be coming over for Thanksgiving, and enjoy hearing their opinions. I expect that Obamacare will be the primary topic of discussion this year.
November 22nd, 2013
7:42 am
No topics are off the table. We are family – we love, we argue, we disagree, we cry, we support….We are family. No outsider had better ever cross one of us because we might not be speaking at the moment but if you hurt one of us, you have us all on you like jelly on toast. That's what family means.

I don't recall any "set" rules ever being established. Due to increased traffic, increased hassles, and a patience level being borderline non-existent I prefer to forego these family get-togethers during holiday time periods. We get together at other times of the year but the topics of conversation are what they are without limits unless something happens to get out of hand, I guess, but this has yet to occur.
November 22nd, 2013

Politics are NOT discussed at our table.

We don't talk about Aunt Louise's loud wet flatulence; we quickly clear the room. And, then there is Cousin Ernie's oozing puss wound on his neck that hasn't healed in 15 years…we kind of got used to it.

Politics are off the table at my house. And a look from me to my adult children (but they are only 21 and 22 ) will cease any discussion. This is important as they are very well read and they could have their cousins for breakfast on just about any political topic.

Religion and politics. My parents and I are polar opposites to my dad's family in Alabama in both fields, especially the former.
November 22nd, 2013
9:31 am
Nothing is off-the-table. Fighting with each other is our favorite pasttime! Of course, Thanksgiving will consist of only me, my parents, and my brother since my father has declared our "outlaws" off-the-table for Thanksgiving. Much more pleasant without them, anyway.
November 22nd, 2013
9:53 am
My house, my rules. I allow anything until I sense that it is begining to stray into the area of making some uncomforatble or becoming an argument rather than a dicussion. If so, I shut it down immediately. I didn't invite you over to listen to you fight. If you lack the basic manners to understand proper beahvior as guest and must fight, do it someplace else.
November 22nd, 2013

So, my younger brother and his family are coming. Religion and politics are off the table. We're atheist. He and his family are Catholic. We're liberal (not Democrats) and he and his family are conservative. And my brother's not a well-read conservative. He's a main stream media conservative. So, it's impossible to have a discussion with him about politics because he gets too blustery. And then with religion he starts getting judgmental after a few beers. Lastly, he's a physician and we're scientists. My husband, specifically, does research into human physiology. My brother tends to think he knows more about human physiology than my husband and makes all kinds of crazy statements that aren't supported by research. But, according to him, he's the doctor and don't we know how hard it was for him to get his medical degree. Of course he knows more.
(He's not a "doctor". He's a physician. The word doctor means "to teach". It applies more appropriately to professors and scientists. When's the last time your physician actually taught you anything?)
Sorry, got on my soapbox for a second. Let me burn the damn thing.

Due to the viscious vitriole of the Tea Party members of the family they are having their own Thanksgiving since the moderate members of the family have declined to attend. Instead of 30 people there are less than 10. The rest of us are going to dinners at other family members.
November 22nd, 2013
12:16 pm
Religion is probably the only big one. 2nd would be politics.. but it is a distant 2. Totally agree with IRun in terms of her religious leanings, and the fact that people start getting a bit crazy after a few beers.
November 22nd, 2013
12:23 pm
I feel like a kid in a candy store knowing that I don't have to be a part of my husband's dysfunctional family dinner this year. Seriously, I did a happy dance when I found out that his parents are going to see his grandmother for Thanksgiving and we get to do our own thing.
My in-laws are crazy conservative Bible-thumpers who have no clue how dumb they sound when they start an argument. I am a Christian but some of the stuff that comes out of their mouths is the very reason Christians have such a bad rep and it simply makes me cringe. I will say though that most of the conflict is specifically about family members. We usually have turkey with a side of gossip and finish dinner with some good ol' character bashing. Ahh such uplifting times. I can't tell you how thankful I am to not have to be a part of that this year.

My husband never gets the "hint" when I try to throw him a signal or mouth something to him, he makes it SO obvious! UGHH….most times it's about the size & amount of my step-dad's Thanksgiving plate, it's usually piled high & running over & we all laugh (behind his back of course) how do I get my husband to get the hint of the inside joke? I'm going to tell him what my "signals" are before we get there this time!!
November 22nd, 2013
2:34 pm
kt—exactly talk to him before hand and let him in on the joke. Although somehow I am feeling bad for your step-dad in this situation.
Did anyone see The Big Bang Theory last night? Found that Thanksgiving to be quite entertaining.

Kids that are failing. The reason we don't talk about any child that is not doing well academically or as a young adult (not working) is because we have a large family and when everyone gets on it the person in question feels ganged up on. Imagine being 10 and all the adults in the family are harping on why you are sucking at math or "My god how can you NOT be passing English?". Of course then the parents get defensive cause their child is feeling attacked. Sooo we don't discuss it unless it is specifically brought up by the parent or the young adult in question. By young adult I mean the 18 and over crowd. When I was a kid, my cousin got retained in the 5th grade. You would have thought she robbed a bank with all the fussing that went on when the rest of the family realized she was in the same grade she was in the year before.
November 22nd, 2013

LBJ's, Nixon's, the CIA's, and "Poppy" Bush's involvement in the assassination of JFK. Oh wait, that's actually all I'm planning on talking about.

You talk at the Thanksgiving table??? Other than pass the sweet potato souffle??? What a concept!
November 22nd, 2013
5:22 pm
Wow…I am talked about even when I am not on the blog. HAHA!
We only have five of us and thus we can talk about pretty much anything. We do try to curtail my husband when he gets carried away with his Obama stories. Any eye roll works. Luckily, there is not much we can't talk about with our kids. Things are different in our extended family though. Some are VERY opinionated and they do not like it if anyone crosses their ideas. My Dad is one of them. We were down, for a visit, this summer and he was saying something that was not exactly correct. My daughter is very sweet. She said, "Actually no Grandpa that is not true." He did not take it well. I thought it was kind of funny, the way she approached it. She has spent less than 3 days in her life, with her Grandparents and not us. She does not know the ying and yang and she thought she should correct him. Not true….haha!

We don't talk about everything. We are family. ;)
I think we all have a pretty good idea of where we disagree, particularly on political and theological issues (we're all Methodists but still disagree on certain hot button issues the church is working through). We love each other despite our differences and stick with safer topics so we can better enjoy our time together. We don't see each other enough to spend that precious time arguing or pushing each others' buttons.
November 23rd, 2013

We talk about anything but show some manners and better judgement! Maybe keeping the excessive booze off the table may lead to less arguing!
November 23rd, 2013

I love the scenes in Sleepless in Seattle about this same idea–filling someone in on the people at the dinner table, and talking about forbidden subjects.

November 23rd, 2013

Ha! We talk about any and everything. I don't always see eye to eye with my parents on politics (they are die hard democrats, but I can respect their position). They don't get me either. Especially since I voted for Bush (shhh…..nobody understands how I could've done such a thing lol). Anyway, we have fun. We are people of faith. We can discuss religion, but rarely do. We do enjoy talking about the kids, life, and now that I have a 2 year old, we'll be chasing and discussing her a lot:)!
November 24th, 2013

RJ, and rest assured some of the family will talk behind your back about how spoiled your child is, why isn't she potty trained, and how a good spanking would end her running around! Just be prepared! LOL

We don't have to worry about ever going to our youngest son's house for Thanksgiving.We don't have enough money for them to want us around. They are afraid that their children might see what common people look like and that we drive a 2001 Civic. Last Christmas we were allowed 2 hours of their time 2 weeks before Christmas and they picked us up so their friends wouldn't see our car parked there. The kids threw their gifts in the trash when they thought we wasn't looking.Hadn't been back since.

From business lunches to formal meetings before selection committees, more than one million presentations are given in the United States every working day. Unfortunately, most are unsuccessful, primarily because the professionals making them don't place a premium on the awesome power of the pitch. Instead they opt to "wing it" or focus their attention on writing proposals and creating PowerPoint slides.

LANSING (WKZO) -- State laws to cut down on meth production are getting stiffer. One of the bills signed Thursday by Governor Snyder increases the penalties for buying pseudoephedrine or ephedrine knowing it will be used to cook meth to up to five years in prison. Other bills tackle what's called "smurfing," which is when someone convinces another person to obtain those meth ingredients. Being convicted of that carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.

We're less than a week away from Election Day and this year in Spokane there's an open seat in District Three for the City Council. Two newcomers Candace Mumm and Michael Cannon are vying for the seat and soon a winner will be decided. District Three covers Northwest Spokane from West Central all the way up to Indian Trail.
Candace Mumm grew up in Spokane, went to Shadle, got her MBA from Gonzaga and now she's raising her family on the northside. She calls herself the neighborhood choice. Mumm says she's worked very hard on safety improvements like putting in place new sidewalks so kids can safely walk to local schools. She made sure the new community park was designed against crime and helped to restore an old schoolhouse to an operational school. Mumm served for ten years under five mayoral administrations as a member of the planning commission, elected twice as President. Aside from her work with the city she runs a small business in town with her husband Steve. Mumm says if elected her top priority is improving emergency response time.
Michael Cannon is also new to running for public office. Cannon grew up in Spokane, graduated from Central Valley then Whitworth, and now he's raising his family here. He's hopeful he can bring a new perspective to the City Council as a business owner and local employer. Cannon has worked closely with Mayor Condon and the current council in his role as the chair of the Community Housing and Human Services Board. He says he's helped to make government more efficient by figuring out how to spend federal dollars as wisely as possible while meeting the needs of the low income in town. Cannon says if elected his two top priorities are increasing the resources for public safety and increasing the accountability and oversight within the police department.
To learn more about the two candidates we've posted a link to their websites here: http://www.khq.com/story/8389426/as-seen-on-khq-tv

MADRID (MarketWatch) -- Apple Inc. AAPL, -1.47% on Monday said it has sold over two million new iPhone 5 models in China, three days after its Dec. 14 launch. Apple said iPhone 5 will be available in more than 100 countries by the end of this month, making it the company's fastest iPhone rollout ever. "Customer response to iPhone 5 in China has been incredible, setting a new record with the best first weekend sales ever in China," said Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive officer. "China is a very important market for us and customers there cannot wait to get their hands on Apple products." That news came as Citigroup analysts cut shares to neutral and their share price target to $575 from $675, questioning the strength of the iPhone 5 and citing "risks in the Apple story."

Londoner Will Burrows has always been a loner. His pale skin and white hair make him an outcast at school.

Will does have a connection with his dad—a shared love for archeological excavation. Still, father and son keep secrets from each other. When, at separate dig sites, they each uncover impressive underground structures that don't show up on any of London's schematics, Will and his dad know they're onto something big. But then Mr. Burrows disappears. Will enlists the help of his only friend, Chester, and keeps digging. What the boys finally find is astonishing—an immense Victorian-style city carved into the living rock. This is "the Colony," a secret civilization hidden beneath the earth. Will seems to have an odd connection with this subterranean society, and while Chester is locked in jail, Will is taken in by a Colonist family. He is fascinated by the cavernous Colony and its citizens, but Will never forgets Chester—or his missing father. Tunnels only sets up the adventure; final gripping chapters and a cliff-hanger ending ensure that more danger, excitement, and mystery wait in the even-deeper reaches of this extraordinary fantasy world.

i do not like this book because it does not make much sense and the series does not get good until the second book. so you have to read 400some pages of nonsense until the series get good.

Pigalle Swing Font by Autographis
Pigalle Swing is a very elegant script from the 1950s which I found some time ago in a similar but not so elegant version on Place Pigalle in Paris. I designed lots of alternate capitals and lowercase letters to make the font more usable and interesting. Enjoy!
