'A film is such a gigantic thing to bring into the world," Benh Zeitlin says, "that it creates its own fate in a lot of ways." The fate of Zeitlin's debut feature, "Beasts of the Southern Wild," which he directed and co-wrote, would seem never to have been in doubt. It won the Grand Jury Prize for drama at Sundance this year and then earned raves at the Cannes Film Festival's Un Certain Regard competition for works by younger, innovative filmmakers. It opens in Boston Friday.
Zeitlin, 29, was here recently to promote the film, along with its two stars, Quvenzhané "Nazie" Wallis and Dwight Henry. Yet the actors' having ended up in the film is a reminder of just how uncertain the fate of "Beasts" once was.

NEW YORK (WKOW) -- United Airlines says Superstorm Sandy cut its October revenue by about $90 million as it was forced to cancel almost 5,300 flights.
That's nearly an entire day's worth of United's schedule lost. It runs about 5,500 flights a day throughout the world.
United, the world's largest airline, says the storm that came aground in the New York area 10 days ago shaved about $35 million off its profit in October.
But the hurricane-winter storm hybrid boosted its per-passenger revenue by about 1 percent. That's because some stranded travelers were stuffed onto other flights, allowing the airline to improve efficiency.
Delta says Sandy cut its October revenue by $45 million and profit by $20 million.

"The 2009 Croft has a tightly wound bouquet of blackberry, black plum, and touches of glycerine and graphite that are well-defined but persistently broody. The palate is full-bodied with a burly, powerful entry. There is real structure and presence here – a Croft packed full of spicy black fruit with white peppers generously sprinkled over the finish. This is an ambitious Croft that could become a future legend – or might trip over its untrammeled ambition!"

"I could tell in his voice he was so depressed," Ellie Jimmo said. "So distraught."
The day before Ellie Jimmo's son, R.J. Mossey, hanged himself in the state prison in Newport, he called to say goodbye.
"He was a good boy," Jimmo said.
His suicide broke her heart and left this mother scrambling to come up with more than $1,000 to claim and bury his body. Without the cash, Jimmo worried her son's remains would end up in the state prison cemetery in Windsor.
"It would be like burying him in jail for eternity," she said. "I just don't get how they could do something like that. It's so inhumane."
"This cemetery, in my opinion, is the last chance cemetery," said Dave Bovat, the superintendent of the Southeast State Correctional Facility.
Vermont inmates who die in prison end up in the state prison cemetery if their bodies go unclaimed, either because of finances or severed family ties.
"Unfortunately, someone who needs to be buried in a state cemetery doesn't have a lot of support on the outside," Bovat said.
About seven inmates die behind bars in Vermont each year, most due to health complications or old age. And most bodies are claimed.
"We really have custody of people and we are responsible for them up until the day they die and beyond that in some cases," Vermont Corrections Commissioner Andy Pallito said.
There are 38 people buried at the prison cemetery in Windsor. The first was Louis Meeker, a murderer executed in 1893. A rise in the use of the death penalty in Windsor prompted the need for the cemetery. The last executions in Vermont were back in 1954.
"They had to have a place for the bodies and to consolidate them, so that is how the cemetery first came to being," Bovat explained.
Many of the people buried there were inmates who were electrocuted or hanged. One died by a firing squad.
"It takes you back into prison history that's a little different from where we are now. A lot different," Pallito said.
Just one woman, Meddie Mann, is buried here. Mann was pregnant when she and her boyfriend killed her husband. The murderous duo hanged on the same day in January 1923.
"We didn't even think there was a woman in here until we started doing the history on it and started cleaning it up," Bovat said.
Up until 2008, the prison cemetery looked more, well, like a prison. Until Corrections decided to clean it up to make it look more like the Ascutney Street Cemetery which surrounds it.
"There was still a fence around it at the time," Bovat said. "It looked like just what it was-- an inmate cemetery. There's no need for that. These people have paid their time. They were sentenced to the state. We wanted to take that away... It was cruel looking in my opinion."
Work crew inmates from the state prison in Windsor mark the graves and they maintain the grounds.
"What you have here is new markers built by inmates, for inmates," Bovat noted.
Just four people have been buried here in the last decade. The most recent, Keith Roland, died in jail in 2008, convicted of attempted murder. He was sentenced to up to 80 years in prison after shooting two women execution style at a massage studio on Church Street in Burlington in 1990.
"It doesn't really feel like a prison cemetery," Pallito said. "I don't even think you'd necessarily know what it was, unless you were told, oh by the way, that's who is buried in the back there."
Corrections says there's enough room at the cemetery for 75 more inmates who die in state custody.
Ellie Jimmo's son, RJ, will not be one of them.
"His heart was so big," Jimmo said.
She managed to find a way to claim her son's body. He'll be buried in a family plot.
"He'll be in Addison County," she said.
Jimmo says her son always loved Addison County. Vergennes was home when he was a kid, before he got mixed up with drugs and crime.
There are two other state prison cemeteries in Vermont. One at the former State Hospital in Waterbury, the other in Rutland. And work to improve both of those is underway, as well.

10 Months 77lbs
I started doing the Atkins diet March 9th 2012. I am a 5'8 27 year old male and at that time I was 255lbs. I remember the diet being hard for the first two weeks, but I stuck with it and managed to lose weight while still attending college. In about ten months I had lost 77lbs with barley any exercise and now I'm a full 178lbs in Ketosis.
Yes this sounds fantastic, I am in much better shape and much healthier than before but for the past 5 months I have been in a constant stall. Even with the massive weight loss and I am still a good 25-30lbs overweight and it will not budge.
For the past 5 months I've tried everything I can think of to break the stall. I went back into induction several times, cut out caffeine, cut out diet drinks and sweeteners, added a bunch of cardio, and started lifting heavy. Nothing works and trust me, I know what to eat and what not to eat.
I got discouraged and have cheated more than usual, once being a whole week, but I just jump up 10lbs really quick and lose it off really quick once back in ketosis, but the scale nor the tape measure will move. I also noticed I can gain up to 2 inches on my waist after doing a cheat meal (water expansion?)
I was reading about the Fat Fast method and I think I will give it a try. I think my body might have just giving up on low carb. Maybe it has just adjusted since I have been on it far longer than I wanted to be. I know you can never go back to the way you ate before, but I planed on switching to low calorie & low sugar instead of low carb. My reason for this is on the days I cheated, I could run & lift much harder than I thought possible. I was impressed by the energy and was able to grow muscle pretty quickly. Kinda like the body builders who "carb up" for a couple days, then eat low carb the rest of the week. Lifting hard 3 days a week and gaining very little can also be discouraging.
If there are any veterans out there that can assist me I would greatly appreciate it.
I am a bit of a newbie but I wonder if you may be doing too much cardio.
Also you say you know what to eat, but still might be good to post some typical meal plans.
Some really smart people about. A poster called Trillex ?? is really knowledge about weight lifting so perhaps she can chime in here.
It's very normal not to be able to get down to the weight you would prefer. You have done GREAT and don't let this little bit discourage you. your main job is NOT TO GAIN THIS BACK. you know how likely that is over the next few years, right? keep a watch on it and don't let that happen. every time you gain and lose and regain it messes more with your metabolism, and you will really regret it when you are older.
best of luck on the last bit, but please be proud of where you are and don't beat yourself up if the last pounds don't come off any time soon!
After reviewing my eating habits I did noticed that I have been staying away from fatty foods and eating too much protein. I plan to add more fat back into the diet and try this out for at least 4 more weeks. If no more results follow, I shall try something else. I can honestly say that I am happy that I did the Atkins diet. But, I don't believe it is something someone should live on. When I did cheat and eat carbs, I had a lot more energy to work out and I just felt better and more focused throughout my day.
Also, I actually have added more fat back into the diet for the past 3 days. It did throw me into a really dark ketosis on the sticks that I haven't seen in a very long time. But! Still no weight loss.
Sometimes I wonder if you can show ketone results on the sticks just by eating fat vs burning it.
Congratulations on your loss thus far!!!!! You have done fantastic. All while attending college. The stresses of being a young adult while socializing can be a killer so Kudoos to you. I am no pro but I'm sure someone can help you break your stall here but DON'T give up. Keep doing what your doing. Your body is probably getting used to it's new weight and resesting it self. If you have health Insurance, visit your Dr. and have all your blood work done etc.... They will probably be happy to see also the progress you have made and may have some suggestions. My NP actuaully supports a LC lifesyle and she has lost 40 lbs on it and has now changing to vegetarian now that she is at her goal weight.
I think sometimes just working at maintaining can really help the body relax. It may be fighting restriction. I would work on simply maintaining for the next month or so, with the goal of restarting weight loss after a 60 day break. Maintenance is hard! Lots of people have benefited from trying this.
You sound very close to an ideal weight. Weight loss creeps when you are so close.
What kind of food do you eat? I got out of a month + stall adding 1/2 avocado and extra veggies...I find it hard to keep my fat below my protein intake anymore.
When I get closer to my goal weight, I'm probably going to the TKD. (Targeted Ketogenic Diet) Carb load on weekend or one day, and LC the whole week. I lift hard 5 days a week.
Good Luck!!
You can get all the nutrients you need in the protein and non-starchy green vegies. I've been working out now for a couple weeks, doing some aerobic and some weights (about 1.5 hours per day) and I have plenty of energy. In fact, I have more energy than I know what to do with. The total opposite of what happened when I was eating a diet higher in carbs.
Congrats man!!!!
Great work
I was also doing the low carb diet through the week and then carbing(cheating) on the weekend. This helped me maintain, but not lose any weight.
I just read an interesting article about how too much cardio can be bad for you, especially someone who is already in shape. I don't know how much stock I put into it, but it says that for weight loss resistance training really is the best.
My sister is a certified personal trainer and nutrition expert and her advice has been to work more with resistance and weights than cardio (although she does think that cardio is important for cardiovascular health). Your body will burn more fat while you are sedentary with more muscle, as it takes more energy to maintain muscle than it does fat.
Here is the link to the article: Your Cardio Routine is Making You Fat | Yahoo! Health
Also, the reason you feel more alert when you let yourself eat more carbs is most likely because you are getting quick energy instead of your body burning what it has. So while this is a good short term solution (which is why body builders do it), it is not a great long term solution, as your body will be burning the carbs you are eating instead of the stored energy on your body.
Have you considered the possibility that this weight you can't seem to drop could be excess skin? I know a couple of people who can't reach their ideal weight as quickly as they thought because they have to wait for their skin to shrink (which is encouraged by resistance training).
Good luck!
If you have cheated on the weekends, and then when your loss slowed down, kept changing things up, you haven't been in consistent ketosis, and therefore have not gotten the benefits of being keto-adapted, which include better energy (not the quick carb energy, but sustained and fueled by your own body). There are many of us who do quite well working out while staying in ketosis. I have never needed to "carb up" before heavy lifting sessions.
If eating high fat, moderate protein, low carb isn't sustainable for you right now, that's your call, but it is definitely healthy long-term.
You've been doing so many things, I suggest you pick one and be consistent with it for six weeks. No cheating, no tweaking. You've lost a lot of weight, and you haven't given your body a chance to let to of the rest (if there is more to lose). Sometimes after losing a chunk, the body has to recover for a while before letting to of more. It's not uncommon.
Hello, and congrats on your weight loss! :clap:
Perhaps the amount of weight training you've included in your regimen is masking fat loss. We are all familiar with the fact that muscle weighs more than fat. The results of your measuring could also give you skewed stats if you're bulking up. Id say the scale and tape measure may not matter so much at this stage of your weight loss endeavor.

The legislation creating Fallen Timbers Battlefield and Fort Miamis National Historic Site (Public Law 106-164) (December 9, 1999) established the area as an affiliated area or unit of the national park system. Even though the area is managed in accordance with laws applicable to units of the national park system, the management entity for this site, as referred to in the enabling legislation, is the Metropolitan Park District of the Toledo Area (Metroparks), in partnership with the Ohio Historical Society.
Did You Know?
On August 20, 1794, in the Battle of Fallen Timbers, Indian warriors closely pursued the soldiers of the front guard of the Legion of the United States until a light infantry skirmish line forced the Indians to seek shelter amid timbers that had been felled a few years before by a tornado.

The following table describes the main characteristics of both types of clouds. This is not an exhaustive list, I'm just putting it here to illustrate some of the differences between both philosophies.
|Datacenter Virtualization
|Infrastructure Provision
|Multi-tiered applications defined in a traditional, "enterprise" way
|"Re-architected" applications to fit into the cloud paradigm
|Feature-rich API and administration portal
|Simple cloud APIs and self-service portal
|Management Capabilities
|Complete life-cycle management of virtual and physical resources
|Simplified life-cycle management of virtual resources with abstraction of underlying infrastructure
|Cloud Deployment
|Mostly private
|Mostly public
|Internal Design
|Bottom-up design dictated by the management of datacenter complexity
|Top-down design dictated by the efficient implementation of cloud interfaces
|Enterprise Capabilities
|High availability, fault tolerance, replication, scheduling… provided by the cloud management platform
|Most of them built into the application, as in "design for failure"
|Datacenter Integration
|Easy to adapt to fit into any existing infrastructure environment to leverage IT investments
|Built on new, homogeneous commodity infrastructure
This classification of existing cloud models is not new. The "Datacenter Virtualization" and "Infrastructure Provider" cloud models have received different names by different authors: "Enterprise Cloud" and "Next Generation Cloud" by many analysts, "Cloud-in" and "Cloud-out" by Lydia Leong, "Enterprise Cloud "and "Open Cloud" by Randy Bias,"Enterprise Cloud" and "Private Cloud" by Simon Wardley, "Private Cloud" and "Public Cloud" by Matt Asay, and"Policy-based Clouds" and "Design for fail Clouds" by Massimo Re Ferrè, who also categorized these models as "Design Infrastructure to support Applications" versus "Design Applications that leverage Infrastructures".
Two Different Flavors of Cloud Management Platforms
Existing open-source CMPs can be placed somewhere in between both models. We have created a chart, the CMP Quadrant, aiming to aid corporations to better understand the present and future landscape of the cloud market. One of the dimensions is the "Cloud Model" and the second one represents "Flexibility" in terms of the capabilities of the product to adapt to datacenter services and to be customized to provide a differentiated cloud service. This dimension captures the grade of adaptability of the product, and goes from low to high. Finally, we have placed in the chart the main open-source players in the cloud ecosystem: Eucalyptus, CloudStack, OpenStack and OpenNebula... or at least those tools that are commonly compared to OpenNebula by our users and customers.
Some important clarifications,
- We are not suggesting that one position (read "tool") in the chart is better than other, only that some of the CMPs are so different that cannot be compared, they are on completely different tracks (read "zones in the Quadrant").
- The chart does not represent absolute values, the relevant information is in the relative positions of the CMPs with respect to their "Cloud Model" and "Flexibility".
- The openness of the software is orthogonal to this chart, you can also use it to compare proprietary CMPs.
- Any CMP can be used to build either public or private clouds, all of the CMPs in the Quadrant implement cloud APIs.
- And last, but not least, this map is not static, the different CMPs will move right, left, up or down over time, but they cannot be simultaneously in different places. There is not a single perfect solution for every possible scenario.
Comparing vCloud to AWS or comparing vCloud to OpenStack is like comparing apples to oranges as it has been clearly expressed by Massimo Re Ferrè and Boris Renski respectively. Both are fruits but with very different flavor. That being said, it is clear that since all the tools enable infrastructure cloud computing, there is always some overlap in the features that they provide. This overlap tends to be larger for those tools that are closer on the "Cloud Model" axis.
There are fundamental differences in philosophy and target market between OpenNebula and Eucalyptus They are in opposite zones of the Quadrant servicing different needs and implementing completely different philosophies. I would say that they represent the open-source incarnations closer to vCloud and AWS respectively. In the same way many companies compare OpenNebula with OpenStack because both represent flexible solutions that can be adapted to their needs, but wrongly think that both enable the same type of cloud. It is also clear that Eucalyptus and OpenStack meet the same need and so compete for the same type of cloud.
Looking to the Future
In OpenNebula, we do not think that one cloud model will dominate over the other. They may converge at the very long term, but not before 10 years. Consequently, and because a single CMP can not be all things to all people, we will see an open-source cloud space with several offerings focused on different environments and/or industries. This will be the natural evolution, the same happened in other markets. The four open-source CMPs will coexist and, in some cases, work together in a broad open cloud ecosystem.
To a certain extent, this collaboration has started yet. Some of our users have reported experiences using OpenNebula with other cloud platforms:
- Some corporations are mixing an Enterprise Cloud with an in-house Cloud Service. They are implementing a cloudbursting architecture where an OpenNebula enterprise cloud bursts to an OpenStack- or Eucalyptus-based cloud when the demand for computing capacity spikes.
- Other corporations are using components from different projects to build their cloud. The integration capabilities of OpenNebula are allowing its integration with OpenStack Swift or OpenStack Quantum for object/block store and networking management respectively in the data center.
We are sure that in the short term we will see some of the open-source CMPs working together, while at the same time finding ways to differentiate themselves in their own cloud markets.

MONTREAL — Gerald Wallace is the most senior member of the Celtics, with 12 years of NBA experience on his resume. So when the veteran swingman speaks, his words carry weight in the locker room.
And Wallace was not at all happy with how his team played in a 104-89 preseason loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Bell Centre Sunday, a game that was part of the NBA Canada series.

Conquer Weight-Lifting Fears: Seriously, Your Health Might Depend On It
Brace yourselves: We're taking a trip back to Vegas. Mentally, anyway.
Five Helpful Doctor's Office TipsJuly 1st, 2014
Going to the doctor can be time-consuming and expensive, so make sure you get the most out of your visit. Here are five tips to keep in mind to avoid unnecessary suffering and wasted healthcare dollars the next time you go in for a check-up.
Fitness FocusedJuly 1st, 2014
The most physically fit young adults grow into the most mentally fit middle-aged adults, according to new research by the University of Minnesota. The study followed a wide sample of participants for 20 years and discovered that those who performed best on the fitness test in their younger years did better on cognitive tests years later.
Mind-Body DNAJuly 1st, 2014
What is the first thing that comes to mind for achieving optimal wellness? Sure, there are many factors to consider, but most people don't put meditation at the top of the list for physical health and long-term wellness. However, this view may change as fascinating research continues to enlighten us on the extensive health benefits of this time-honored practice.How meditation supports the foundation of healingBy Isaac Eliaz, MD, MS, LAc
Four Ways to MeditateJuly 1st, 2014
Meditation isn't one-size-fits-all: Although you can sit in a white room and hum "om" until you feel you've reached a sense of calm—or your lunch break is over—there are other forms of the practice that may be a better fit for both your lifestyle and overall health goals.
Focus On: ProbioticsJuly 1st, 2014
Probiotics are live microorganisms that help maintain the natural balance of organisms in the intestines. The probiotic bacteria found in the digestive tract reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and promote a healthy digestive system.
Tea for Your: HypertensionJuly 1st, 2014
Most people with high blood pressure (hypertension) do not feel any symptoms or know they have hypertension until their blood pressure is measured.
You Are Energy, PersonifiedJuly 1st, 2014
From a biological standpoint, energy maintains a continuous cycle of regeneration throughout one's life cycle. Our bodies consistently work to create energy every minute of every day, and—if managed correctly—it has virtually unlimited potential.Fuel your body to maximize your lifetime energy potentialBy George L Redmon, PhD, ND
Step Out and Reconnect With NatureJuly 1st, 2014

Sit, Stand, and Sleep Your Way to Better HealthJuly 1st, 2014
All-over aches and pains could be the result of a subconscious culprit: posture. Most times we aren't aware of the muscles at work, but postural muscles—including those in the hamstrings and back—are critically important to reducing ligament stress, increasing muscle efficiency, preventing strains and pains, and correcting and maintaining alignment and balance.

At Home Spa Treatment: Piña Colada Body Exfoliant
Sometimes you need a vacation and taking one is simply impossible. This is when you have to pamper yourself. If you can't sip a piña colada on the beach, why not have a piña colada exfoliating bath? Yep, you can make a great all body exfoliant with the same ingredients you use to make the very same tropical cocktail you would like to be sipping on some beach.
According to Lindisima this treatment will both moisturize your skin as well as act as a gentle exfoliant. The coconut milk moistens the skin and the fruit acid of the pineapple exfoliates dry skin.
Here's what you need:
- 2 cups of pineapple juice
- 1 cup of coconut milk (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup of milk (fat free is better and easier to clean)
Here's what you do:
- Place all ingredients in a blender to mix or puree. Draw a bath with water at your favorite temperature.
- Sip some cold water with lime or lemon. Close your eyes and feel the Caribbean sea breeze.
- Shower after the treatment and apply body lotion.
Pour "piña colada" mixture into the bath water and soak for 10 or 15 minutes.
Just a reminder that if you are allergic to any of these ingredients, you should just give this treatment a pass. And since soaking in hot water can increase the effects of alcohol, you shouldn't drink a piña colada while taking your piña colada bath.

Lisa Ling Welcomes Baby Girl
Lisa Ling's bundle of joy has arrived!
The journalist and her husband, Dr. Paul Song, welcomed daughter Jett Ling Song on Friday, the couple announced in a statement.
Jett weighed in at 6 lbs. and 6 oz. and was born in Santa Monica, Calif.
This is the first child for the couple, who tied the knot in 2007.
Lisa, 39 – who suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage in 2010 – announced she was expecting again in October 2012.
READ: Lisa Ling Announces She's Expecting A Baby Girl
Happily, her pregnancy with baby Jett was complication-free.
"I've been so lucky – I have felt completely normal this entire time. Other than the fact that I feel like I'm getting this big gut, I didn't have any morning sickness or anything," Lisa, who was five months along at the time, told Kit Hoover and Billy Bush during a late-October appearance on Access Hollywood Live. "So, I've been very, very lucky. I've just been trying to be very, very cautious about everything… with diet, with exercise."

"Arthritis is one of the most common causes of knee pain in high level athletes, the weekend warrior, and in more sedentary individuals" says orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Scott Welsh. Arthritis is a process in which the cartilage that lines the bone initially starts to soften or crack. This is usually followed by roughening and thinning of the cartilage. The cartilage continues to break down until there is exposed bone. Osteoarthritis is a complex process which is still poorly understood. Multiple factors contribute to the development of arthritis including ligament damage, cartilage injuries, fractures of the knee joint, obesity, and genetics.
Osteoarthritis is simply the wear and tear on the cartilage of your joints usually related to the aging process or to previous injuries. Recent research has found that this type of arthritis may be inherited as well. This form of arthritis usually occurs gradually in the middle aged and elderly populations but can occur in younger patients after severe injuries.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory form of arthritis and is usually not the result of an injury. It is more common in females and usually presents at a much earlier age than osteoarthritis. It tends to affect joints symmetrically and is the more disabling form of arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis very commonly will run in families.
What are the symptoms of osteoarthritis?
- Pain: Most patients describe an achey discomfort but the pain may be sharp, stabbing, burning, or throbbing. For some people, the pain may be worse at rest but improve after standing and walking. As the arthritis progresses the pain will become worse at rest and with activity.
- Stiffness: Your joints may feel stiff especially when sitting or after getting out of bed in the morning.
- Swelling: Arthritis can cause swelling in joints which may cause a sense of tightness while bending your knee. Swelling is usually more pronounced after activities.
- Deformed joints: Bowing of the legs or developing "knock-knees" is a sign of more advanced arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis typically causes more joint deformity in the hands and wrists.
- Cracking and grinding: Your joints may make crunching, popping, or grinding sounds.
The diagnosis of osteoarthritis can be made by a careful history and physical examination, weight bearing x-ray studies, and MRI. Subtle narrowing of the joint may be missed if standing x-rays are not performed. MRI can also be used to diagnose arthritis, but is particularly helpful to rule out other sources of pain, especially tears in the meniscus, which are commonly associated with arthritis.
Treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee should follow a step-wise approach starting with the least invasive treatments.
- Patients should initially try supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin as they have been found to decrease pain when taken for four to six weeks consecutively.
- A low impact exercise program such as cycling, swimming, elliptical trainers, and rowing machines can decrease pain because of the natural lubricating effects of exercise on the joint.
- A strengthening program and physical therapy are also very beneficial to decrease arthritis pain.
- Tylenol (acetaminophen) is recommended for pain if the supplements and the exercise program are ineffective.
- Anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDs) such as Motrin, Advil, Celebrex, and Aleve are also very helpful for arthritis pain but must be used cautiously due to potentially serious side effects.
- A variety of braces can be used to give some relief as well. Weight loss and avoidance of impact activity can also be beneficial.
"If a patient has failed the above treatment options then I consider injections as the next step," says Dr. Welsh. "Two types of injections exist for the knee, cortisone and viscosupplementation injections. Cortisone works essentially as a potent anti-inflammatory within the knee and will typically give temporary and partial relief of pain within 3-5 days. Cortisone should be limited to a maximum of three injections per year because of potential harmful effects to the joint cartilage. I typically will use cortisone when a patient presents with an acute exacerbation of their pain and is in need of rapid relief. The duration of it's effect is unpredictable."
Viscosupplementation is a term used to describe a series of "lubrication" injections administered once a week for 3-5 weeks consecutively, depending on the manufacturer. These injections have been approved in the United States since 1997. The active ingredient within all of the medications is hyaluronic acid which is a building block of our joint cartilage and our joint (synovial) fluid. Normal joint fluid is fairly viscous (thick like cooking oil) as compared to the fluid in an arthritic knee which loses it's viscosity and elasticity, becoming more water-like.
The injections are believed to work by several mechanisms. The medication is designed to repeatedly stimulate the joint lining to produce joint fluid with better viscous properties. "The medication will usually start taking effect within two to three weeks of the first injection and the maximum response is after four to six weeks. The injections will last on average about six months and occasionally longer. Many patients will only get 3-4 months of relief," says Dr. Welsh. Multiple studies have shown a success rate of approximately 50 -75% with the injections. They may be repeated every six months if needed and can be used indefinitely. The most common side effect is injection site pain which usually subsides within 24 hours.
If the injections are ineffective or the MRI shows pathology necessitating surgery such as a meniscal tear then an outpatient arthroscopy may be beneficial to smooth out the cartilage depending on the degree of arthritis. If the arthritis is advanced with bone on bone deformity then either a partial or total knee replacement may be warranted. Cartilage replacement techniques may be used also to regenerate cartilage but only if the there is a well defined defect in the cartilage. Arthritis tends to be more diffuse usually therefore not amenable to cartilage replacement.
Scott A. Welsh, MD specializes in sports medicine and general orthopedics. He has a particular interest in arthroscopic cartilage restoration procedures of the knee. Dr. Welsh received his undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois and attended medical school at Loyola University Chicago. He then completed his orthopedic residency at Michigan State University and his sports medicine fellowship at the Florida Orthopedic Institute in Tampa. He has worked as a team physician for the University of South Florida, University of Tampa, Western Michigan University, Saint Leo University, and several high schools in the Tampa area.

Pizza Na Roma on Locke Street, Hamilton is the best Pizza that I have ever tasted in Canada. I've had hundreds and hundreds of types of pizza in North America and Europe.
This place is a MUST if you live in Hamilton. There are pictures and other info on their Facebook page. I'm not sure if they have a website yet.
This is a Roman style pizza-by-the-slice place. They use a 72-hour dough process and the owner was trained in Italy on the art of making this style of pizza.
Are you referring to Roma Bakery on Barton E? I just moved to Hamilton and we're trying it this weekend, can't wait!
Oh man, I missed this place as I was actually in the Hammer the other day on Locke St too.
Ended up going to Bread Bar for a fantastic pizza. I would actually put Bread Bar in the Top-10 pizzas in the GTA that I've tried, but will have to try this place the next time I'm down in Hamilton.
re: pakmode
Nope, not Roma bakery (which is amazing too btw) but Na Roma, on Locke Street. It just opened on Sunday. My room mate bought 4 huge boxes of slices last night and i'm eating one for lunch right now!
I've heard really good things about Bread Bar too... i'm looking forward to trying it.
re: cupidom
Can you please provide a link to their facebook or post here what to look for. I couldn't find it after googling or searching facebook.
If I understand correctly Roman pizza is more a thicker crust/square pizza? Bread Bar is a different style right? More a thin trust pizza?
re: ylsf
Bread Bar's philosophy is to use fresh, local, high quality ingredients and let that do the talking.
efinitely not as thin as Libretto or QMP. More like Stoney's Bread Company in Oakville
I asked for well done so it came out very crispy and was fairly thin. We ordered the Potato Bianca and the Wild Mushroom - should have ordered the Margherita as that's usually the best judge of a pizzamaker's prowess.
Here's the link for Bread Bar
re: cupidom
Thanks, cupidom, I will have to visit Locke St. again soon for a pizza tasting. Na Roma wasnt' there last time I was on the street at Chuck's Burger Bar.
Chuck's Burger Bar
194 Locke St S, Hamilton, ON , CA
re: bogie
What's the verdict? The pics from their facebook page look delicious. I couldn't find a menu for them, but, I did find their website. Looks like it is under construction as there is next to nothing on the page.
re: JErix
It was fantastic! They serve a great selection of slices and also make whole pizzas in three different sizes. We were in a hurry, so we opted for slices as whole pizzas are 20-25 minute wait. They are rectangular Roman style pizzas with a relatively thin crust that is extremely tasty due to 72-hour fermentation time. Crust is perfect and slightly chewy. We shared 4 slices between the two of us: Margherita, sausage, Hawaiian and proscuitto with brie. They all had superb toppings and I have to single out the Hawaiian in particular for it's fresh pineapple and quality ham. Also, the proscuitto and brie slice was fantastic with fig jam, balsamic and arugula to complement it. The slices are a good size, we only managed to finish 3 of them. Our meal with 4 slices, 2 pops and tip was $25. Very reasonable for this quality of food. We grabbed a menu and will probably call ahead and order a full pizza next time. BTW, the really great thing about these slices is that they reheat well due to the great dough and toppings. Definitely the best pizza I've had in a long time, and I've tried all the good ones in the GTA and Hamilton. Very congenial owner and staff, too.
A friend recently went and brought me back a copy of the menu. She really enjoyed it. I was going to scan the menu but a copy of it is now up on the website (website previously posted here but there was no menu at the time)
You can download a PDF of the menu there.
Since inquiring about this place back in June, I've eaten at least a dozen pizzas from NaRoma. EVERY SINGLE ONE has been cooked to perfection. Their consistency to this point has been absolutely insane. Quality, fresh ingredients. They pay attention to detail. Without question the best pizza I've had in Hamilton.
re: JErix
@JErix "Without question the best pizza I've had in Hamilton".
I would go so far to say it's the best pizza I've had in the GTA and Golden Horseshoe combined.
I've been driving between Oakville & Hamilton about one a month to get pizza at NaRoma since last summer. Whenever I feel like pizza this is the place I have to go. It's worth the mileage and gas. Every pizza is consistently well baked with a nice cornmeal crunch to the crust--we always get the Carne with roasted garlic and caramelized onions.
The prices are excellent the coppia (small) is enough for 2-3 people for under $20.00. They have an ideal location for drivers and walkers by so hopefully they will be around for good while.
re: ParsleySage
I have a sickening obsession with Na Roma. To make the experience top notch, order a fresh coppia (takes about 20 mins) and ask for the truffle oil and hot chili paste.
The soup selection has consistantly been amazing too. I had a ten-bean soup on Sunday and it was deadly.
re: cupidom
2 of the last 3 times I've ordered from NaRoma the pizza has been sub-par. I usually get the Arugula and rather than cherry tomatoes, I have received diced tomatoes thrown in with some cherries. Even some of the cherry tomatoes had an off-putting taste.
I wonder if anyone else has experienced this decline. I'm not sure if it's just an off day, or , maybe they ran out of cherry tomatoes, or he picked some bad ones at the Market, etc.
I'm hoping it's just a glitch and there isn't something else going on. Since I found their pizza, I haven't been able to think about ordering from another pizza place. Maybe I just got spoiled from the first 20 or so orders that were absolute perfection.
re: JErix
I do find consistancy an issue... when Mario makes your pizza, you know it's from Mario. While the pizza is always "good", it seems subpar when Mario doesn't make it.
I do know that Mario is working on conveying the importance of making the pizza with love (for lack of a better expression) to all of the chefs.

When kept in a school the Longfin Tiger Barb will make a very lively and playful display!
The Longfin Tiger Barb is one of the most attractive varieties of the Tiger Barb Puntius tetrazona. Like its predecessor it has a very striking coloration. The body is brightly colored with four very distinctive black stripes on a yellow to red background. The biggest difference between it and its parentage is that this fish has fins that are longer. When mature their colors will tend to fade a bit but they retain the long elegant fins. Keeping a school of these attractive fish in a nice sized aquarium makes for a lively, interesting display.
This long fin variety makes a very good fish for the beginner and is enjoyed by advanced aquarists as well. Their aquarium needs, care and feeding are the same as their parentage. They are quite hardy as long as their water is kept clean with regular water changes. They are lively and active so need plenty of room to swim. The aquarium can be planted around the sides and back of the tank to give them lots of open swimming area in the middle.
They are playful fish, but Tiger Barbs in generally can be nippy with their tank mates. They are very active, fast swimming fish that do best kept in a school of at least six or seven fish. Within their group they will then establish a "pecking order". Their tendency to nip other fish seems to be demonstrated most when they are kept individually or in a smaller group. Kept singly they can become aggressive.
They will do very well in a community tank with other active species. A larger school of these barbs will be kept busy chasing each other rather than bothering other tank mates. Still they should not be kept with slow swimming or long-finned fishes such as gouramis and angelfish.
A mixed school combining these fish with the regular Tiger Barb and other varieties makes for a a very attractive effect in the aquarium. Other varieties you can add are the Green Tiger Barb and the Albino Tiger Barb varieties, which has some wonderful red, gold, and platinum strains as well. Mixing more varieties works equally well and creates a really exciting effect and will provide a nice contrast of swift moving, darting color.

Habitat: Distribution / Background
The Tiger Barb Puntius tetrazona (previously Barbus tetrazona) was described by Bleeker in 1855. They are found throughout the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and possibly Thailand and Cambodia. They are native to the island of Borneo and found in both the Malaysian state of Sarawak and Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of the island. Feral populations have been introduced to Singapore, Australia, the United States and Colombia.
These fish show a preference for quiet forest streams and tributaries with clear, highly oxygenated waters. The substrate is normally composed of sand and rocks and grows very dense vegetation. In nature this fish feeds on insects, diatoms, algae, small invertebrates and detritus.
The Longfin Tiger Barb is a captive bred variety developed from the Tiger Barb. Many of these barbs are captive bred for the aquarium industry. There are no wild populations of these strains.
- Scientific Name: Puntius tetrazona
- Social Grouping: Groups
- IUCN Red List: NE - Not Evaluated or not listed - There are no wild populations of this variety.
The Longfin Tiger Barb has a round shaped body with a high back, deep body and a pointed head. It has been selectively bred for fins that are longer than those found on the regular Tiger Barb. These are small fish reaching lengths of only up to about 2 3/4 inches (7 cm) in nature, though generally a bit smaller in the aquarium. They have a lifespan of 6 to 7 years with proper care.
The body is gaily colored with a yellow to red background and four very distinctive black stripes. There is red on the outside edge of the dorsal fins as well as on the tail and ventral fins. When in spawning mode they have a bright red snout.
- Size of fish - inches: 2.8 inches (6.99 cm)
- Lifespan: 7 years
The Longfin Tiger Barb is a very hardy fish, great for beginners and all aquarists. They are usually not very picky eaters and will take and thrive on quality flake foods. As with any selectively bred fish, they can be a bit weaker then the actual fish they originate from. Their tank does need to be kept clean as they are susceptible to ich. With clean, clear well filtered water; these fish will do very well. Do take caution picking their tank mates as they will nip the fins of slow swimming and other long finned fish.
- Aquarium Hardiness: Very Hardy
- Aquarist Experience Level: Beginner
Since they are omnivorous they will generally eat all kinds of live, fresh, and flake foods. To keep a good balance give them a high quality flake food everyday. Feed brine shrimp (either live or frozen) or blood worms as a treat. This fish will eat as much as you feed them so the aquarist should determine a reasonable amount. The rule of thumb when offering food several times a day is to offer only what they can consume in 3 minutes or less at each feeding. When offering food just once a day, provide what they can eat in about 5 minutes.
- Diet Type: Omnivore
- Flake Food: Yes
- Tablet Pellet: Yes
- Live foods (fishes, shrimps, worms): Some of Diet
- Vegetable Food: Some of Diet
- Meaty Food: Some of Diet
- Feeding Frequency: Several feedings per day - Offer only what they can consume in 3 minutes or less with multiple feedings per day.
Longfin Tiger Barbs are not exceptionally difficult to care for provided their water is kept clean. Aquariums are closed systems and regardless on size all need some maintenance. Over time decomposing organic matter, nitrates, and phosphate build up and the water hardness increases due to evaporation. Replace 25 - 50% of the tank water at least once a month. If the tank is densely stocked 20 - 25% should be replaced weekly or every other week.
- Water Changes: Monthly - If the tank is densely stocked the water changes should be done every other week.
The Longfin Tiger Barb will swim in all parts of the tank, but prefers to swim in open areas in the middle. Since their maximum size is less than 3 inches, a school will need at least a 15 gallon aquarium. However because they are very active swimmers it is better to have a tank that is 30 inches long and 30 gallons or more. Provide good filtration and do regular water changes. Additionally, the tank should be covered as these fish may jump.
These fish will do best and are most effectively displayed in tanks which simulate their natural habitat. An aquarium best suited to them should have a fine gravel bottom with plants around the inside perimeter along the sides and back, leaving lots of open swimming space. Along with the plants, providing drift wood or bog wood will echo their native habitat. An efficient filter and good water movement are needed for the male fishes to develop their coloration.
- Minimum Tank Size: 15 gal (57 L)
- Substrate Type: Any
- Lighting Needs: Moderate - normal lighting
- Temperature: 68.0 to 79.0° F (20.0 to 26.1° C)
- Breeding Temperature:
- Range ph: 6.5-7.5 - Hobbyists intending to breed their stock should keep the water slightly acid (to 6.5).
- Hardness Range: 2 - 30 dGH
- Brackish: No
- Water Movement: Moderate
- Water Region: All - These fish will swim in all areas of the aquarium, but prefer the middle of the aquarium.
- Minimum Tank Size: 15 gal (57 L)
- Suitable for Nano Tank: Yes
- Substrate Type: Any
- Lighting Needs: Moderate - normal lighting
- Temperature: 68.0 to 79.0° F (20.0 to 26.1° C)
- Breeding Temperature: - Breeding temperatures between 74 - 79° F (24 - 26° C).
- Range ph: 6.5-7.5 - Hobbyists intending to breed their stock should keep the water slightly acid (to 6.5).
- Hardness Range: 2 - 30 dGH
- Brackish: No
- Water Movement: Moderate
- Water Region: All - These fish will swim in all areas, but prefer the middle of the aquarium.
The lively Longfin Tiger Barb makes a good community fish, especially with other fast moving fish. However they have been known to get a bit nippy, especially when kept singly or in very small groups. They have a tendency to nip the fins of slow moving and long-finned fishes, such as gouramis and angelfish. A singly kept fish will be highly aggressive.
Groups of this fish will be hierarchal. It is a good idea to keep them in a school of at least six or seven to diffuse some of their aggressive tendencies. This can help to prevent bullying of other fish. In schools they bother each other instead of the other tank inhabitants. Their may be some damage to their own long fins, due to the nipping tendency of their own kind.
- Temperament: Semi-aggressive - They are good community fish when kept in groups and when other tankmates are also fast moving fish. A singly kept fish will be highly aggressive.
- Compatible with:
- Same species - conspecifics: Yes - Should be kept in large groups. It is a good idea to get at least six or seven, and more are better.
- Peaceful fish (): Monitor - These fish may irritate peaceful tankmates with their constant activity and possible fin-nipping.
- Semi-Aggressive (): Monitor
- Aggressive (): Threat
- Large Semi-Aggressive (): Threat
- Large Aggressive, Predatory (): Threat
- Slow Swimmers & Eaters (): Monitor - This is a rather quick fish at feeding time. Make sure any slower fish get enough to eat if you are keeping them with barbs.
- Shrimps, Crabs, Snails: Safe - not aggressive
- Plants: Safe
The female is heavier especially during the spawning season. The males are more brightly colored and smaller. During spawning they will develop a very red nose..
The Longfin Tiger Barb is developed from the Tiger Barb, which is moderately easy to breed and raising the fry is relatively simple. They become sexually mature at about 6 to 7 weeks of age when they have attained a size between about 3/4 of an inch to just over an inch in length (2 - 3 cm). Select breeding pairs from the school that have excellent markings and strong color.
They are egg layers that scatters their eggs rather than having a specific breeding site. The eggs are adhesive and will fall to the substrate. These fish can spawn in a 20 gallon breeding tank. It can be set up with a sponge filter a heater, and some plants. Marbles used as substrate will help protect the eggs. The water should be a medium hardness to 10° dGH, dGH, slightly acidic with a pH of about 6.5, and a temperature between 74 - 79° F (24 - 26° C).
Condition the pair with a variety of live foods like brine shrimp. Introduce the female to the breeding tank first and add the male after a couple of days, when the female is full of eggs. The courting ritual will start in the late afternoon with them swimming around each other, and the male performing headstands and spreading his fins to excite the female. The spawn will take place in the morning, with the male chasing and nipping the female. The female will begin releasing 1 to 3 eggs at a time. Up to 300 eggs will be release, though more mature females can hold 700 or more.
After the spawn, remove the parents as they will eat the eggs. The eggs will hatch in about 48 hours and the fry will be free swimming in about 5 days. The free swimming fry can be fed infusoria, a liquid fry food, or newly hatched baby brine at least three times a day. Pay close attention when feeding, as foods if uneaten can quickly foul the water. The fry will require clean water to survive. See the description of breeding techniques in: Breeding Freshwater Fish: Barbs. Also see Fish Food for Fry for information about types of foods for raising the young.
- Ease of Breeding: Moderate
Longfin Tiger Barbs are hardy and disease is not usually a problem in a well maintained aquarium. They are primarily susceptible to Ich if good water quality is not provided. Anything you add to your tank can also bring disease. Not only other fish but plants, substrate, and decorations can harbor bacteria. Take great care and make sure to properly clean or quarantine anything that you add to an established tank so not to upset the balance.
A good thing about these barbs is that due to their resilience, an outbreak of disease can often be limited to just one or a few fishes if you deal with it at an early stage. The best way to proactively prevent disease is to give your Barb the proper environment and give them a well balanced diet. The closer to their natural habitat the less stress the fish will have, making them healthier and happy. A stressed fish will is more likely to acquire disease.
These fish are very resilient, but it is recommended to read up on the common tank diseases. Knowing the signs and catching and treating them early makes a huge difference. For information about freshwater fish diseases and illnesses, see Aquarium Fish Diseases and Treatments.
The Longfin Tiger Barb is occasionally available, though not as readily as the regular Tiger Barb or the other color morphs. It can be found both in stores and online, and they are moderately priced.

I'm getting my new fridge and stove!
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 10-22-2003 - 9:34am
The fridge is also Kenmore...it's got double doors on top and the freezer is a drawer on the bottom.
Tonight I have to clean my laudry room to find a place for my old fridge.
And I will be getting one of those microwaves for above the stove that has the fan as well. But we didn't buy it yesterday b/c we had to measure...it has to be 16 inches from the bottom of the microwave to the top of the stove and because of our little useless cabinet above the stove, it will only allow for 14 inches. So, we decided we will take that cabinet down and create a raised decorative shelf so the microwave will have the 16 inches.
I'm so excited!
|Wed, 10-22-2003 - 10:34am
Maybe some people just have trouble cooking?! LOL! Just kidding!
|Wed, 10-22-2003 - 3:35pm
The microwave is the new "wave" something or other kind...it doesn't turn in a circle, it goes back and forth. I didn't quit get the difference, but it looks cool! LOL! They say it's supposed to cook better. WHo knows? I was happy that it had an "auto reheat" button on it! My parents have one on theirs and I missed it when I moved out. They are hard to find and usually only come on the expensive microwaves. It reheats food without you having to guess a time...it goes by the heat the food starts to give off and then it knows when it is done. That way it makes it easier to not dry out meat or burn something. It does not work on popcorn though...I tried and it burned it to a crisp!

Summerwind, formerly known as Lamont Mansion, is a ruined mansion on the shores of West Bay Lake in Vilas County, Wisconsin. As a result of abandonment, the elements, and fire, little of the mansion remains standing. Located on private land, its ruins are closed to the public. Summerwind is reputed to be haunted and has been popular with paranormal tourists. The mansion was featured on an episode of A Haunting.
Summerwind was built in the early 20th century as a fishing lodge on the edge of West Bay Lake in Vilas County, in northeastern Wisconsin. In 1916 it was purchased by Robert Patterson Lamont, who employed Chicago architects Tallmadge and Watson to substantially remodel the property and convert it into a mansion.[1] The renovations took two years to complete, and led to the near total reconstruction of significant portions of the property.
Lamont remained at Summerwind for about 15 years, during which time the maids told Lamont that the mansion was haunted. Although he did not believe them because the building was too new, he is reported to have abandoned the property suddenly in the mid-1930s after witnessing an apparition in the mansion's kitchen. Local legend holds that he and his wife were eating dessert in the kitchen, when the door to the basement started to shake open, revealing the ghostly form of a man. Lamont was reported to have taken one look at the ghost, and pulled out a pistol. The ghost swung the door shut and Lamont squeezed off two shots in its direction, before fleeing the residence with his wife.[2][3]
During the 1940s, the property was sold to the Keefer family, who maintained the mansion, but never lived there on a permanent basis. Some accounts place the sale after Lamont's death in 1948.[2] Others place it around 1941, prior to his death.[1]
After the death of Mr. Keefer, his widow subdivided the land and sold it. The plot containing Summerwind reverted to Mrs. Keefer several times after several purchasers were unable to keep up payments.[1] During this period no paranormal incidents were recorded, but purchasers reported unease about the property, and it remained largely unoccupied.[4]
After remaining vacant for 40 years, the house became the residence of Arnold and Ginger Hinshaw and their four children, who moved in during the summer of 1969. It is from this time onwards that most of the haunting reports originate.[4]
After taking up residence, the Hinshaws reported a number of strange occurrences, ranging from flickering shadows that appeared to move down the hallways and soft voices that stopped when they entered rooms, to unexplained electrical and mechanical problems and sash windows that raised themselves. They also reported seeing the ghost of an unidentified woman who appeared several times in the vicinity of the house's dining room.[2][4]
Urban legend holds that after experiencing extended difficulties retaining workmen the Hinshaws decided to renovate the house themselves. During these renovations, Arnold is said to have removed a shoe drawer from a fitted closet and discovered a hidden recess behind it. There he discovered what he at first took to be the remains of an animal. However, because of the cramped entrance, he could not be certain of what he had seen. Later that day, when he sent his daughter Mary into the recess to see what the unidentified object really was, Mary discovered a human skull and strands of black hair. No report of the find was ever made to the police and the veracity of the legend has never been determined.[2][3] The body was reported to have vanished when Ginger's father and brother investigated the recess several years later.[4]
Within six months of moving into Summerwind, Arnold suffered a breakdown. He began to wander the mansion at night and play the Hammond organ in a maddening way, claiming voices in his head ordered him to do so. During this time, Ginger attempted suicide. Arnold received treatment and Ginger moved in with her parents in Granton, Wisconsin. The land, once again, reverted to Mrs. Keefer.[4]
Years later, Ginger's father, Raymond Bober, announced plans to buy Summerwind and turn it into a restaurant with the help of his wife, Marie, and son, Karl. The Bobers' attempts to renovate the house suffered from many of the same problems as the Hinshaw's attempt. The Bobers' son Karl, who traveled to the house alone in order to arrange estimates and pest control work, reported a variety of unnerving events, including voices and an apparent supernatural re-enactment of the alleged 1930s Lamont incident.[2][5]
Construction workers also reported feeling uncomfortable and complained of missing tools and other happenings. One example is that when they attempted to draw blueprints, the dimensions of the house would change, with some rooms producing larger measurements on some days than on others. Photographs taken of the same location, on the same film, were also said to show a single room as several different sizes, even if taken seconds apart, or to show furnishings that had been in the room when the Hinshaws had lived there, but which had since been removed.[2]
After experiencing several apparently supernatural incidents, and a number of conventional difficulties, by 1979 Bober abandoned his plans to convert Summerwind, and the land again reverted to Mrs. Keefer. Bober applied for permission to operate a concessions stand nearby, but his application was turned down because of a problem with local ordinances.[2] Bober published an account of his experiences at Summerwind in 1979, under the pseudonym "Wolffgang Von Bober".[4]
In November 2005 the Discovery Channel aired an episode of A Haunting about the Hinshaws' experiences when they lived at Summerwind.
After Bober relinquished the property, it was sold one more time, but again reverted to Mrs. Keefer. In 1986, by which time the mansion had fallen into disrepair, Summerwind was purchased from the estate of Mrs. Keefer by a group of three investors. Later the land and the ruins was sold to a Canadian family, who live in Richmond Hill, Ontario. They report frequent unexplained hauntings.[citation needed]
There have been several largely unconfirmed reports by people who have investigated the house in its abandonment, often involving objects flying around, disappearing and reappearing, and photographs with odd shadows in them. Late night clandestine visitors have also reported that they have seen Summerwind mansion as it would have appeared in an earlier time. Subsequent visits then revealed the true run-down condition of the manor.[citation needed]
In June 1988, Summerwind was struck by lightning several times, resulting in a fire that destroyed much of the mansion.[2] Today, only the house's chimney stacks, foundations, and stone steps remain.
According to accounts given by Bober, the events at Summerwind can be traced back to 18th century American explorer and writer Jonathan Carver, who Bober believed was haunting the site.
In his 1979 book, Bober claimed to have been contacted by Carver, who told him that he was searching the grounds looking for deeds to the northern third of Wisconsin, which were built into the footing of Summerwind 130 years after his death. They had been granted to him by Sioux Indians as a gift for settling a fight between two Sioux tribes that nearly led to war. Bober believed that Carver had wanted the past owners of the house to help him find the deeds, or to make way for people who would. Despite searching the house's foundations, Bober was unable to locate any sign that the deeds had been buried there.[4]
The only connection between Carver and the house itself is that the house falls under the jurisdiction of the elusive deed. No other explanation was offered by Bober as to why someone would put the deed into the foundation of Summerwind.
In 1983, freelance writer Will Pooley contacted Herb Dickman, one of the men involved in setting Summerwind's foundations in 1916. Dickman said he had no knowledge of any foreign objects being built into the mansion's footings, or of any anomalies surrounding them.[2]

In eight starts, the Virginia driver has completed 89.9% of the total laps completed (1604) and has an average finish of 28.1. McClure has only encountered one DNF at the track and that was during his first full-time season as a NNS driver in 2007. The driver's best finish of 18th came two years ago in his first season with TriStar Motorsports; last year, the driver posted finishes of 24th and 25th at the Chicagoland Speedway. Chassis No.12 …In Sunday's STP 300, the 34-year-old driver will pilot chassis No. 12 out of the TriStar Motorsports stable. This chassis was last used at Kentucky Speedway where McClure posted a 23rd-place finish in the rain-shortened event. Team Slips One Position in Owner Standings/McClure Remains 17th in Driver Standings…After holding steady for the past three weeks in the Nationwide Series Owner Standings, McClure and the TriStar Motorsports team slipped one position to 24th following last weekend's 31st-place finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. McClure, however, remains 17th in the driver standings. Tune-In… Sunday's race from Chicagoland Speedway will be televised live on EPSN beginning at 2:30 p.m. (ET). MRN (Motor Racing Network) and SiriusXM Radio Channel 90 will also broadcast the event live on Sunday, July 21. -Hefty/Reynolds Racing PR
