Beatles sound-alike group is final performance for Pratt Community Concert Association.
The Abbey Road Band, a concert many Pratt Community Concert subscribers have looked forward to with anticipation, hits the PCC Carpenter Auditorium stage this Friday, April 26th.
Locally, this premier performance by this Beatles tribute band begins its authentic re-creation of the Beatles sound at 7 p.m.
"The Abbey Road Band doesn't wear Beatle wigs or period costumes; they have something far better. They were there. They lived the Beatles explosion and have dedicated their musical lives to recapturing that perfect music and that perfect moment," stresses the band's website, concluding by saying, "What they do is SOUND like the Beatles."
The Abbey Road Band has toured from Mt. Rushmore through much of the upper Midwest for over a decade, headquartering in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Monte Madison re-creates Paul McCartney, playing bass guitar, keyboards, and acoustic guitar and doing vocals.
"It changed our lives," says Madison, remembering watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Fred Gondzar plays John Lennon, "with his voice and in his heart," does vocals and plays guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, and harmonica. Don Lerdal is the group's musical director, and guitar master, and voices George Harrison. Ringo Starr, who invented the British rock 'n roll drum style and penned many of the Fab Four's songs, is represented by Tony Johnson.
The challenge of performing Beatles music live is met through the use of synthesizers and digital drums. Every part is live.
The veteran musicians also see it as very important to involve the audience as much as possible. The band has fun playing this music, and they want their audience to feel that joy, too, be they teenagers or seniors, because they see that as how timeless the Beatles music is.
Individual tickets will be available at the door for those without PCCA season tickets. New subscribers to next season's concerts are admitted free. Season memberships for the 2013-2014 season are also on sale Friday evening.
RSVP offers a ride to and from each concert. Anyone needing this service may contact the RSVP office at 672-7811.

PRYORSBURG, Ky. (AP) - Authorities in western Kentucky say a Tennessee man vandalized a Methodist church on Easter Sunday and then flipped his truck after fleeing from deputies.
Graves County Sheriff Dewayne Redmon told WPSD-TV in Paducah (http://bit.ly/16qonJB ) that 20-year-old Paul D. Morgan Jr. crashed his truck into the Pryorsburg Independent Methodist Church around 2 a.m. on Sunday after getting into a fight with his girlfriend, who attended the church.
Redmon said Morgan intentionally smashed the church's musical equipment and vandalized the pastor's office. He fled when deputies arrived and led them on a high-speed chase before flipping his truck. He was pulled from the crash by deputies and was taken to a hospital.
Redmon said Morgan will face drunken driving charges, criminal mischief, burglary and evading arrest charges.

Brethren in Christ Church
1953 Article[[|]]
In the latter part of 1750, about 30 Mennonite families in the canton of Basel, Switzerland, after a long period of persecution, during which they suffered both imprisonment and loss of property, decided to emigrate westward. They went first to England, and in the fall of 1751 set sail for America. The voyage across the Atlantic was disastrous; one of the ships with all their goods was lost, and they landed destitute. One company, including John and Jacob Engel and others whose names are uncertain, settled near the Susquehanna, in western Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in early 1752.
In 1770, as a result of the labors of some members of the Lutheran, Mennonite, and Baptist churches, who were grieved at what they considered the formalism which then characterized the churches, there was, in that region, a notable revival, which was attended by many conversions. It was conducted principally by Otterbein, Boehm, Bochran, and the Engels, representing the different bodies. Subsequently difference of views arose in regard to the form of baptism, some holding that the applicant should make choice of the method, while others claimed that trine immersion was the only proper form. The result was that they mutually agreed to work independently, in accordance with their various interpretations of the Scriptures.
The believers in trine immersion associated with the Engels, many of them former Mennonites, had no regular organization, but were in the habit of designating the various communities as brotherhoods. There was thus the Brotherhood down by the River, meaning in the southern part of Lancaster County; also the Brotherhood in the North, the Brotherhood in Dauphin, the Brotherhood in Lebanon, the Brotherhood in Bucks and Montgomery, etc. The outlying brotherhoods looked to the brotherhood in the southern part of Lancaster County as the home of the organization, and it was probably due to this fact that the general term "River Brethren" was given to the entire body. Another explanation has been given by some, namely, that they were in the habit of baptizing in the river. With the development of these brotherhoods, it seemed advisable to select someone to perform the duties of the ministerial office, and the choice fell upon Jacob Engel, who thus became their first minister.
A small faction of the Brethren in Christ broke off in 1838 in Ohio under the leadership of John Wenger, who were joined shortly thereafter by John Swank, formerly of the United Brethren Church. In 1860 Swank broke off with a small faction from this Wenger group, which in 1883 united with the Evangelical United Mennonites led by Daniel Brenneman, to become the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. Later, portions of the Wenger group joined the Mennonite Brethren in Christ, one congregation doing so as late as 1920. The small remnant of the Wenger group later adopted the name Pentecostal Brethren in Christ (in 1924 this group became part of The Pilgrim Holiness Church).
In course of time dissensions arose concerning what would now be called minor points, which ultimately caused divisions. In 1843 the body known as "Yorkers" or, as some call them, "Old Order" Brethren, withdrew, and in 1853 the body known as "Brinser," but later as "United Zion's Children," also withdrew, both in eastern Pennsylvania.
At first the organization of the River Brethren was simple, but as their numbers increased a more permanent form became necessary, and about 1820 an ecclesiastical organization was adopted. During the Civil War some of the members, although proclaiming the doctrine of nonresistance, were drafted for military service, and it became evident that the denomination must secure legal recognition as a religious organization holding that doctrine. Steps to secure such recognition were taken at a private council held in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, as early as 1862, at which time those who remained after the separation of the other two branches, and who constituted the great majority of the Brethren, decided to adopt the name "Brethren in Christ" instead of "River Brethren," which was done the following year. In 1904 the organization was incorporated according to the laws of the State of Pennsylvania as "a religious body for the worship of Almighty God," with headquarters at Harrisburg.
The Brethren in Christ did not accept any historical creed or confession, but generally regarded the authority of the Holy Scriptures and recognized the importance of the teachings of Christ and doctrines of the New Testament. They believed that the church was "built on faith in an almighty, triune, eternal, self-existent God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." They accepted the doctrines of the immortality of the soul; redemption through Jesus Christ as the Son of God, who makes atonement for the sins of the world; and regeneration through the influence of the Holy Spirit, developing into holy living. They held that trine immersion was the only proper form of baptism, practiced confession of sins to God and man, and observed the Lord's Supper and communion, accompanying it by the ceremony of feetwashing. The recognition of Christ, not only as Saviour, but as Lord and Master and King, involved in their view the acceptance of the tenets and principles of His government. Accordingly, they believed that, inasmuch as He is Prince of Peace, His kingdom is of peace, and as His subjects, they should abstain from the employment of carnal forces which involved the taking of human life. For this reason the doctrine of nonresistance, in a qualified sense, was a feature of their belief. They considered Freemasonry and all other secret societies to be anti-Christian; they believed in prayer veiling for women, and they advocated the wearing of modest apparel, with nonconformity to the fashions of the world.
The ecclesiastical organization of the denomination included the local church, a system of district councils, state councils, and a general conference. The officers of the church in the early 1950s were bishops, ministers, and deacons. The bishops presided at all council meetings, officiated at marriages and in the observance of the ordinances, and exercised all functions of the ministry. The ministers were specifically the teaching body, but also did parish visiting, and by request of the bishop, in his absence administered the ordinances. The denomination in a slow transition was changing from a self-supported ministry to support by contributions, and salary for full-time pastors. The deacons had charge of the business affairs of the churches, served at the communion table, look after the poor, and also did some visiting in the parish. The membership of the general conference, which met annually, included laymen as delegates as well as ministers.
The general activities of the church in education, publication, charitable and missionary interests in mid-20th century were directed by general church boards, responsible to the general conference. Eight boards functioned in their respective areas of endeavor—General, Executive, Benevolence, Foreign Mission, Home Mission, Christian Education, Publication, and Board for Schools and Colleges.
In 1951 the Brethren in Christ Church had in the United States and Canada 138 churches, with a membership of 6,807 residing in 13 different states and 2 provinces. Of these congregations, 54 were in Pennsylvania, 14 in Ontario, 10 in Ohio, 8 in Michigan, 7 in Kentucky, and 5 each in California and Kansas. The church contributed $613,223.05 during 1950 to all phases of the church program, an average of $90.08 per member. The Sunday-school enrollment stood at 14,760.
The church was aggressively missionary in interest and program in mid-20th century. Sixty-eight workers were active in the foreign mission fields of India and Rhodesia (later Zambia and Zimbabwe), South Africa. In southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) there were 72 out-schools and in northern Rhodesia (Zambia) there were 38. There were 3,372 baptized members on these foreign mission fields, with 3,694 additional persons enrolled in membership inquirers' classes. 11,893 students were enrolled in mission elementary, boarding and teacher-training schools.
The educational interests of the denomination were served by two colleges and two academies—Messiah College, Grantham, Pennsylvania, and Upland College, Upland, California, a high school in Ontario, and another in Oklahoma. In 1950 the number of students enrolled in these institutions was 512. Contributions to the support of these schools during 1950 were listed at $33,823.98.
For a number of years the Brethren in Christ have worked with the Mennonites in the area of peace witnessing. When the first conference for administrators of Mennonite colleges was held at Winona Lake, 7-8 August 1942, Messiah College was represented and participated in the discussion of immediate problems confronting the Mennonite colleges as a result of the war. Meeting regularly two or three times annually since that year, the organization came to be known as the Council of Mennonite and Affiliated Colleges, including Upland (formerly Beulah) College as well as Messiah College.
In 1940 the Brethren in Christ Church appointed a member on the Mennonite Central Committee and co-operated wholeheartedly in the program of Civilian Public Service and Relief. During the years 1940-1950 the Brethren in Christ Church contributed to the Mennonite Central Committee $142,183.22 in support of Civilian Public Service and $109,462.12 to War Sufferers' Relief and other phases of work supported by the Mennonite Central Committee. Of the more than 600 Mennonite Central Committee relief workers in the period beginning with World War II, 19 were members of the Brethren in Christ Church.

1990 Update
The Brethren in Christ movement began around 1780 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The founders, largely of Anabaptist background (probably mainly Mennonite), were deeply influenced by the pietistic revival movements of the period which emphasized a crisis conversion experience, with an attendant belief in a personal, "heartfelt" relationship to God. Some of the founders received a conversion experience in the revivals, while others came to believe in what the revivals emphasized. They began to meet in their homes to discuss their experiences and to study the Bible for new insights it might give them.
Their discussion led eventually to their formal organization as a separate group. As Anabaptists they were firm in their views of discipleship and of the church as the visible, called-out body of believers. But they were also convinced of the need for the crisis conversion experience. Thus they did not feel comfortable with the Anabaptist groups from which they came or with various other pietistic groups in the area. As a result, they organized themselves into a new group where the principles of baptism and pietism were combined.
The catalyst for their decision to organize appears to have been the issue of the correct mode of baptism. The founders became convinced from their reading of the Bible that baptism should be by trine immersion. Their Mennonite ministers, however, would not baptize in this mode. The German Baptists Brethren (later known as Church of the Brethren), from whom some of the founders probably came, did practice trine immersion, but would baptize the group in the manner requested only if they became German Baptists Brethren. In their impasse, the group, led by Jacob Engel, decided to baptize each other. The site of their baptism was near Marietta in the Convoy Creek that ran past the Engel farm, located near the Susquehanna River. This action served to reinforce the stance of the founders as a separate group.
The new body called itself the Brethren. They soon became known, however, as River Brethren. Probably the name was given to them by others to distinguish them from other Brethren groups in the area. At the time of the Civil War, when it became necessary to register with the U.S. federal government as a nonresistant group, they named themselves Brethren in Christ. In Canada, members were first called Tunkers (from the German verb tunken, meaning to dip); according to tradition it was a name given to them by their neighbors who observed them immersing converts in baptism. This name was officially retained until 1933, although the term Brethren in Christ had already been used for some years in conjunction with Tunker.
Shortly after their organization, members began to spread out from their base in Lancaster County. A few went to Canada (primarily Ontario) as early as 1788, and during the course of the 19th century they also settled in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, and California. For the most part, these areas remained the main centers of the Brethren in Christ Church in North America in the 1980s.
Two schisms occurred in the mid-19th century. A small progressive group in Pennsylvania was expelled for constructing a church building rather than continuing to worship in homes and barns. The new group became known as the United Zion's Children (later United Zion Church). At about the same time, a more conservative group broke from the main body, in part because the latter did not appear aggressive enough in disciplining those who had built a meetinghouse. This more conservative group called themselves the Old Order River Brethren (sometimes referred to as Yorkers, but now preferably Old Order Brethren).
During their first century the Brethren in Christ worked out a synthesis of their Anabaptist-pietistic beliefs. Their emphasis on a two-kingdom theology (nonconformity) made them one with other Anabaptist groups in such matters as nonresistance and nonparticipation in politics. They wore simple, or plain, clothing, and they practiced brotherhood in such matters as church discipline and caring for one another. Their love feasts, adopted from the Church of the Brethren, were an expression of their brotherhood concerns. Their pietism was expressed, among other ways, in testimony meetings (or experience meetings), and in the continued insistence on the crisis conversion experience.
Beginning in the latter part of the 19th century, the Brethren in Christ came into contact with new movements and ideas, and during a 30-year period grafted them onto their traditional life and thought. This period may be seen as the first transitional period. It was similar in some ways to the awakening or renaissance occurring among Mennonites at the same time.
During this transitional period the Brethren in Christ adopted a more aggressive approach to evangelism. They established missions in Canada, the United States, and in Africa, in what eventually became Zimbabwe and Zambia. They also adopted some of the revivalist methods then current. Revival meetings at least once a year became an important part of each congregation's yearly activities. Sunday schools, with their emphasis on the salvation and instruction of youth and children, also became an aggressive means of evangelism.
In the same period, the Brethren in Christ established a number of institutions. In 1887 they began a church paper, the Evangelical Visitor, which became a useful medium for evangelism and the spread of new ideas. They began orphanages in Oklahoma, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, and a home for the elderly in Pennsylvania. Messiah Bible School and Missionary Training Home (later Messiah College) was chartered in Pennsylvania in 1909; Beulah (later Upland) College in California in 1920; and Ontario Bible School (later Niagara Christian College) in 1931.
A formal merger of the church in Canada with the church in the United States occurred in 1879. The governing body (General Conference) created by this merger, met annually until 1972, when it began to meet biennially. These institutions, together with the structures needed to conduct missions, gave the Brethren in Christ a more organized structure, in contrast to an earlier informal approach to church life.
At the same time, Wesleyan holiness theology, with its emphasis on the sanctified life, gradually worked its way into the church to become an official doctrine in 1910. Although in some ways pietistic in nature, the doctrine was essentially a new teaching. The emphasis was now less on the work of the Holy Spirit as leading the Christian to a more perfect spiritual state and more on a second work of grace in which the Holy Spirit filled the heart, cleansed it from its carnal nature, and enabled the Christian to live the life of obedience more successfully. By the 1930s holiness camps began to appear in Roxbury, Pennsylvania (1936), followed by others in Ohio, Ontario, Kansas, California, and Florida.
Beginning in the early 1950s, a second period of transition brought more significant changes to the Brethren in Christ. In part, this was owing to the increasing urbanization and professionalism of members of the church, which brought them into contact with new people and ideas; in part, it grew out of a growing concern to be more effective in the changing conditions in which the church was finding itself. Standards for plain dress were relaxed and eventually disappeared, although an emphasis on modesty remained. Musical instruments, once forbidden in both homes and churches, became widely used, even for worship services. A strong youth program was developed which included youth camps, Bible quizzing competitions, and athletic events. Absolute restrictions against membership for divorced and remarried people were officially relaxed by the General Conference and in a growing number of congregations.
At the same time, the Brethren in Christ became more ecumenical. In 1949 they became official members of the National Association of Evangelicals, and in 1950 joined the National Holiness Association (later Christian Holiness Association). Brethren in Christ have held leadership positions in both organizations. Beginning in World War II, the Brethren in Christ Church has been a member of Mennonite Central Committee, and has cooperated closely with Mennonites in peace witness and relief service.
A structural reorganization accompanied this second transitional period. Many small districts (some with only one congregation), each with its own bishop, were replaced with six regional conferences with a bishop for each conference. Greater freedom was given to local congregations to interpret the decisions of the General Conference and its doctrinal statements. A further structural reorganization in the early 1980s (known as Renewal 2000) consolidated many boards, committees, and commissions into several boards. It also instituted Cooperative Ministries, a brotherhood concept of financing the services of the church in which money given in congregational offerings goes in proportional amounts to congregational, regional, and General Conference ministries.
The strong missions orientation of the Brethren in Christ Church was illustrated by the distribution of the Cooperative Ministries budget in 1986; the Board for World Missions received nearly 50 percent of the budget. Since 1945 the mission areas of the church have been expanded beyond Africa and India to include Japan, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Colombia, England, and Malawi. In recent years representatives from each area have come together periodically for a conference; in 1984, for example, the conference was held in Hagenau, France. In its mission program, the church has endeavored to provide holistic ministry. Along with preaching and building churches, it has established orphanages and homes for children, medical clinics, and hospitals.
Other ministries of the Brethren in Christ Church in North America have spoken to similar concerns. Messiah Village in Pennsylvania and Upland Manor in California were established as retirement homes. Timber Bay Children's Home in Saskatchewan has cared for North American Indian children during the school year. Paxton Street Home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, provides food and housing for disadvantaged people. Camping programs at Kenbrook and the Christian Retreat Center (both in Pennsylvania), Camp Kahquah in Ontario, Camp Lakeview in Michigan, and Mile High Pines in California focus on children, youth, and families. -- E.

People with type 1 diabetes usually have a number of the following symptoms:
Not everyone will notice drastic symptoms -- the symptoms may be subtle or go unnoticed at first. In some cases, the first symptom is frequent yeast infections.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when a person's own immune system gradually attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. As these cells are destroyed, insulin production drops, eventually stopping completely.
Therefore, people with type 1 diabetes must use insulin daily. If they miss their injections or take too much, the levels of glucose in the blood can fluctuate out of control, getting very high or very low and leading to emergency medical situations.
This possibility is not something that should make you live in constant fear. When you learn to monitor and control blood glucose level, which includes careful meal and snack planning, you will become a confident expert at keeping yourself (or your child) healthy.
Did You Know... ?
The first child received insulin in 1922.
The symptom list is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Scrum Sevens
High drama, questionable quality
ESPNscrum Staff
March 24, 2011
Chris Ashton's swallow dive was one of the images of the Championship © Getty Images
England's loss to Ireland last weekend brought the curtain down on the 11th season of Six Nations rugby, with Martin Johnson's men bombing a Grand Slam but prevailing overall. It was a Championship blessed with high drama and controversy but very little rugby to stir the soul. Nevertheless, it was another rollercoaster ride of passion, fierce rivalries and hangovers, so we've collated some of the biggest talking points in our latest Scrum Seven.
One swallow does not a summer make
Chris Ashton's opening try against Wales at the Millennium Stadium seems like it was a long time ago. Cast your memory back…there was a horrible hole in the home defence, Toby Flood was through it and then, shock, horror - a swallow dive from Chris Ashton! We've never seen the like… only, we have. We see it all the time. Even Shane Williams used to do it. The debate raged on however and the immensely likable Ashton was accused of disrespecting his opponents and endangering his scoring chances. A cheeky act meant for the fans and to nudge certain authority figures quickly became a widespread 'scandal' and it was well and truly blown out of all proportion. There were more interesting things to talk about in the opening weeks of the tournament but this was everywhere, and will remain an abiding memory whether we want it to or not.
Italy's day in the sun
They went close against Ireland and Wales, but sealed the deal against France in round four. It was the big one for Nick Mallett's Italy and under the blue skies of Rome, they kicked off one hell of a day out for their fans. Theirs was a performance of passion, grit and no little style as Andrea Masi bagged a well-worked try and Mirco Bergamasco put technique and form aside to show great nerve in landing the winning points. The likes of Sergio Parisse, Alessandro Zanni and Martin Castrogiovanni deserved a big result to underline their contribution to the tournament and thankfully, their team-mates more than delivered on this occasion. There was more joy when fullback Andrea Masi scooped the Player of the Championship award, albeit thanks to some dubious criteria.
Obvious cowardice
After the Italian debacle, France coach Marc Lievremont reacted as any sane individual would; by accusing his players of cowardice and betrayal. It was brilliant. He was forced into a climbdown later in the week but his off-the-wall criticisms were those of a man shocked to his core. France were again maddeningly unpredictable in this year's Championship, beating Scotland and Ireland, thanks in no little part to their opponents, before losing back-to-back games to England and the Azzurri. It was his second outburst (after the standard 'we all hate the English' diatribe) but this one hinted at a lack of harmony, of the possible reason why his outrageously talented squad were not delivering. With the Rugby World Cup a matter of months away it also led to calls for his replacement and also the dreaded vote of confidence from above. Can he right the ship for the World Cup? The fate of Raymond Domenech, his footballing counterpart this time last year, casts a large shadow.
Thrown to the lions
Peter Allan, woe is you. The Scottish touch judge found himself at the centre of a storm of criticism after his mistake - telling referee Jonathan Kaplan that Wales had scored against Ireland with a quick throw using the correct ball, rather than the closest one to hand - cost Declan Kidney's side the match. It was a game of very little quality, played out under drizzle and featuring few, if any, moves of note and a controversy was the only thing that could lodge it in the memory banks. Sparking debate of the TMO's powers and whether they should be extended, this one will not go away and is likely to be referenced almost every time a 'quick one' is taken. IRB types - dig out the thinking caps. You'll have to share if there isn't enough for one each.
Life in the old dog yet
Ronan O'Gara landed one for the old breed with his winning drop-goal against Italy in round one, and this proved to be Championship to savour for those a little closer to their free bus pass than others. Scotland fullback Chris Paterson, author of two magnificent try-saving tackles against England and Ireland, Wales winger Shane Williams and Ireland skipper Brian O'Driscoll all lit up the tournament at some stage, reminding some of the old adage that 'form is temporary, class is permanent'.
Some players deserve a farewell
Shane Williams' last act in the Six Nations should have had greater fanfare. His boot into the stands for Wales to beat Ireland initially meant little more than that, it was only after the full extent of his knee injury came to light that the realisation hit - it was his last act in the Six Nations. One of the game's great free spirits, his loss will be felt keenly by Wales and also by their fans - it's hard to think of a player who has given more to the Championship since his bow back in 2000. If you're one of the grumpy few who mutters, 'he's too small' whenever he pops up, you've most definitely missed out.
The Lansdowne roar returns
Ireland saved the best for last and in the process did what none of their rivals had done to date - beat England. Declan Kidney's men did it in some style too, playing the game at breakneck pace and placing the visitors under unbearable pressure. As the likes of Donncha O'Callaghan, Sean O'Brien and David Wallace tore into England the home crowd also found their voice, creating a cauldron of noise (with a little help from some drumming piped through the PA system) that recalled the grandest occasions at the old Lansdowne Road. The later leaking of England's 'Grand Slam champions' video will have made the win just that little bit sweeter, too.

United in friendship
THEY'RE the women who paddle to prove there is life after breast cancer.
United in their strength and as strong as they are determined, the Sunshine Coast Dragon's Abreast Team took to Maroochy River yesterday for the annual Wishlist Row for Cancer.
Team Tittytittybangbang is made up of pink survivors: women and men who have faced the diagnosis of breast cancer.
Sunshine Coast Dragons Abreast vice-president Wendy Jensen said the annual event was about raising awareness and supporting a great cause.
"It's something very close to all of our hearts. We have all lost someone to cancer, whether it's breast or another type," she said.
Held annually at Cotton Tree Park, Wishlist Row for Cancer raises money for Coast cancer patients and initiatives.
The day was a fun mix of fierce competition and fundraising as teams take to the water in vessels ranging from surfboats, outriggers and stand-up paddle boards to kayaks and dragonboats.
Brisbane Dragons Abreast team member Sharon Thomasson was diagnosed with breast cancer 11 years ago and has become a regular at the event.
"When I was diagnosed I was 34 and there was no history of cancer. It was by accident I got sent to get an ultrasound," she said.
"Missabittatitti (the Brisbane team) came up to introduce us to dragon boating. They threw me on the boat and gave me a paddle.
"It was good because you didn't have to talk about it."
Bound by friendship, the hardest thing for the Dragons Abreast ladies is knowing they will inevitably lose friends to the disease.
"We're here to support those who don't make it as well and their families," Ms Jensen said.
"When they pass on we call them Angels Abreast.
"We will never forget the ones we have lost."
This year's proceeds will go towards funding the Wishlist Sky Bridge, a safe route connecting Reed Charity House to Nambour General Hospital.

Virginia Tech is in trouble Saturday against Miami. The most impressive team of this young college football season, the Hurricanes are wicked fast, well-rested and riding a big-armed quarterback.
But unbeaten Miami is not unbeatable. Not if Tech coaches let Tyrod be Tyrod.
Junior Tyrod Taylor is the Hokies' starting quarterback, a dual threat capable of touchdown production from anywhere on the field. But in 2009, Taylor appears prisoner to the pocket, hesitant or under strict orders not to run.
On one level, it makes sense. Sean Glennon's graduation left Tech without an established alternative, and if Taylor gets nicked, the operative word in Blacksburg becomes "yikes."
Moreover, refining Taylor's raw passing skills becomes problematic when he's darting upfield at the first sign of protection breakdown.
But let's not kid ourselves. Taylor is a more accomplished runner than passer, and smothering his instincts would be pure folly.
Quarterbacks coach Mike O'Cain insists Tech is doing nothing of the sort.
"He has become a better quarterback by being able to stay in the pocket and throw the ball," O'Cain told the Daily Press' Norm Wood on Monday. "I think he will give us more of a chance to win (that way) than if every time something flashes in his face, he pulls it down and goes.
"He hasn't been coached any differently. I think the maturation process of understanding what's going on, having confidence in his protection and being able to find the second and third (receiver) now have made it so he hasn't had to pull it down."
But let's look at some numbers.
Last season, Taylor ran for 738 yards on 147 attempts. That's 5 yards a pop and includes sacks.
In three games this season, he's netted 10 yards on 26 rushes. That's 0.4 yards per carry, again sacks included.
No question, the ornery defenses of Alabama and Nebraska are part of the reason. But last year the stout D's of Nebraska, Georgia Tech, Boston College, Virginia and Cincinnati couldn't contain Taylor. Nor could Clemson's and Florida State's in 2007.
Virginia Tech is 9-1 when Taylor rushes for at least 45 yards, the lone defeat last year at Boston College, where he ran for 110. And even when Taylor hasn't posted big totals, he's made a difference.
His 31-yard scamper set up the go-ahead touchdown against Boston College in the 2007 ACC championship game. A week earlier, his two short scoring runs keyed a 33-21 victory at Virginia.
Taylor has broken 16 runs of 20 yards or more as a Hokie, some on called rushes, others strictly freelance. But only one has come this season, a 46-yarder against Marshall.
Alabama smothered Taylor for minus-26 yards on 10 carries in a 34-24 victory. Remove sacks from the equation, and Taylor gained 12 yards on five attempts.
Nebraska limited Taylor to minus-22 yards on nine rushes. Absent sacks, the numbers were 3 yards on five carries, and only a last-ditch drive fueled by Taylor's 81-yard pass to Danny Coale rescued the 11th-ranked Hokies (2-1).
O'Cain said all three Tech opponents used a "spy" to shadow Taylor and harness his running.
"The opportunities he's had to run, when they've presented themselves, he's taken advantage of, but he hasn't forced it," O'Cain added. "That's the thing I like. In the past, boy, when that pocket collapsed, he was out of there. There's a time for that, but there's a time when you've got to be able to hang in there and find that Danny Coale down the sideline, or whatever it may be."
Fair points, but listening to O'Cain, you'd think the Hokies were gaining 400-plus yards a game. Uh, no.
Tech managed a meager 155 against Alabama, 278 versus Nebraska. The Hokies' first six possessions of the second half against the Cornhuskers netted 58 yards, two first downs and no points.
Similar numbers won't suffice this week against No. 9 Miami. Idle since Thursday's thumping of Georgia Tech, the Hurricanes (2-0) return eight starters from a defense that last year limited Virginia Tech to a season-low 77 yards rushing in a 16-14 Canes victory.
Against an opponent that ravenous, with a blossoming quarterback such as Jacory Harris, in a game that could well decide the ACC's Coastal Division title, the Hokies need to unleash all of their weapons. Hey, if Nebraska's Zac Lee can run 17 yards on a quarterback draw against Tech, Taylor can do the same against Miami.
"He has the (skill) to make a lot of people miss," O'Cain said. "You get him out in open space and he can do it. But if the chances are to run for 15 yards or throw for 15 yards, you're probably going to throw for it easier than you're going to run for it. ...
"I've been pleased with the decisions he's made from that standpoint. There's maybe been once or twice where he should've pulled it down, or maybe should've thrown it, but that's playing the game. You can't coach that. ... You've just got to let him play."
Agreed. Let him play. Let Tyrod be Tyrod.

Pipe bomb kills small animal
Police need witnesses to come forward
Police are investigating a pipe bomb being tossed from a moving vehicle in Auburn.
Around 12:44 p.m. Monday, witnesses reported seeing the pipe being tossed from a vehicle traveling southbound on Bypass 28 towards Derry near the intersection of Leppert Way.
Emergency officials said the bomb exploded shortly after hitting the ground, leaving an 8-inch hole in the ground and killing a small animal on the other side of the road. They couldn't identify what type of animal was killed.
Police said it was a homemade pipe bomb, about 6-8 inches long, made out of a steel pipe with caps on the end. Both caps were blown off in the explosion.
Auburn police are asking witnesses to call the Auburn Police Department at 603-483-2922.

Halsted Previous Broadcasts
KQED Plus: Tue, Dec 11, 2012 -- 10:00 PM
This is the true story of the most important surgeon America has ever produced. Surgery in the mid-19th Century consisted of crude and hurried amputations conducted in filthy operating rooms, often followed by horrendous infection. We can thank William Stewart Halsted, the pioneering father of American surgery, for bringing America into the era of safe surgery: sterile procedures, surgical gloves, careful handling of tissues, and local anesthesia. It was Halsted who introduced a scientific approach to medicine, but one set of experiments nearly ended his life and career. One set of experiments cost Halsted his reputation, his friendships, and his piece of mind. Halsted tried the new wonder drug cocaine as a local anesthetic and became addicted for life. This is the remarkable true story of the medical giant who brought America into the age of modern medicine while struggling with a secret addiction.

When Pope Benedict XVI makes his first pastoral visit to the Holy Land May 8-15, he will find in the land where Jesus lived a hodgepodge of Christian communities. Latin and Oriental-rite Catholics and Orthodox Christians are the most numerous, and a smattering of Protestants and newer Christian churches round the numbers out.
But Christians have long been a minority in the lands where the first Christian churches were founded. And they grow less by the day.
For an excellent overview of the situation in the Middle East and some of the challenges Christian communities face daily that the pope will see first hand, read "Middle East Christians on the Move," by Msgr. Robert L. Stern, president of the Pontifical Mission for Palestine and Grand Officer of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. It was published in the January issue of One magazine, the chief publication of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association.
Msgr. Stern takes a frank look at the trials of Christians in the Holy Land but, like Pope Benedict, he has a lot of hope for their future.

Animal Species:Pliosaur
Pliosaurs were aquatic carnivorous reptiles, not dinosaurs, that lived between 220 and 70 million years ago. This pliosaur has not yet been named scientifically but may be a specimen of Yuzhoupliosaurus chengjiangensis.
Pliosaurs had:
- large, sharp, serrated teeth for catching prey;
- lungs for breathing air;
- modified paddle-like limbs (like those of a penguin) which they used to swim through the water.
Feeding Habit
Yuzhoupliosaurus chengjiangensis was named after the place where it was discovered - Chongqing - which was known as Yuzhou in ancient times.
Evolutionary Relationships
Pliosaurs are short-necked plesiosaurs. They are more closely related to lizards and snakes than to dinosaurs and birds.

git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git # via HTTP (slowest) git clone git://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git # git's protocol (fast, read-only) git clone [username@]darcs.haskell.org:ghc.git # via SSH
darcs put
There's no default command to do that, but the following should work:
ssh me@remote cd /some/directory.git git init --bare exit cd my/local/repo git push me@remote:/some/directory
--bare option disables a checkout of the working copy, i.e., only the contents of the
.git directory are stored.
Note: If the repository is supposed to be shared by several users, it's best to init it with either of these commands:
git init --bare --shared=group # everyone in the same group can read and write git init --bare --shared=all # same group can read/write, others can read
You can also set this after the fact, by setting the configuration variable
core.sharedRepository. See
git config --help for more information.
darcs add
git add <dir-or-file>
darcs record
Git supports interactive recording very similar to darcs.
git add -p
git add -i
The main difference is that Git does not automatically commit the changes. You have to do that manually using
git commit [-m "commit message"]
If you do not supply a commit message, it will open your default editor. If you want to abort the commit, use an empty commit message.
To see what will be committed, use
git diff --cached
Tip: If you want to see the diff when you edit the commit message, use
git commit -v
darcs record -a
git commit -a
This will add and commit all (not ignored) files. It will not add newly created files. (To do this call
git add . before in the repo root directory.)
darcs pull
There is no direct mapping for the interactive
darcs pull. Cherry-picking is not as streamlined as in Darcs.
darcs pull -a
Here is how you update (everything) from the source repo:
git pull
If all you want to do is to keep updated then this is fine. The above is actually a shortcut for
git pull origin
origin is the name of your default remote branch. (You can name it as you like, but certain Git commands will use
origin as the default if no argument is specified.)
XXX: will this pull into the current branch, or always into master? (Websites suggest always into master, so you likely need to follow
git pull with
git rebase <branch-name>)
Like in Darcs, you may get conflicts. To resolve conflicts, edit the conflicting file,
git add it, and
git commit it.
If you want to see whether you get conflicts before pulling
git pull is actually ... XXX
darcs push
Selectively pushing patches is not available directly in Git.
git push does the same as
darcs push -a.
A comparable interactive workflow is to merge a selection of patches from a local branch into the local master branch and then
git push that.
In general, even though a central repository is possible, Git promotes a pull model. That is, to work on a project you typically "fork" (
git clone) the source repository, add your changes, publish your repository, and send a pull-request to the upstream maintainer. The reasoning behind that is that you don't have something akin to a list of committers, but rather the maintainer has a set of trusted peers. This model is very different than what seems to be common among darcs users, but it has its advantages.
Obviously, this requires that it's made easy to publish your version of the repository easily. This is where websites like GitHub come into play. GitHub is free for open source projects (it offers a paid service with private repos), and makes it particularly easy to share with Git. GitHub automates things like forking and sending pull requests. GitHub has a quota of 100 MB, but a forked repository will not count on your quota. This is particularly useful for large code bases like GHC. (The GitHub quota isn't always correct; so if it seems wrong check again the next day.)
darcs push is also used to exchange patches between local repositories. See "Local Branches" below for how to work with branches in Git.
Of course, you need to be able to publish your local changes to a remote repo (even if it's not the main repo). This is done using
git push which is largely equivalent to
darcs push -a
darcs push -a
git push [<repo-url-or-alias>]
Without argument this will push to your
darcs changes
git log git log <file-or-directory>
darcs changes --last <N>
git log -n <N>
darcs changes --summary
git log --stat
darcs changes --match
git log --grep="something"
=-sign is important)
Other useful variants
git log -p
Shows the patch for each commit.
git grep <text>
Look for something anywhere in the repository's history (tag names, commit messages, file contents).
git show <commit-id>
Show the changes by the given patch
More examples.
git log v2.5..v2.6 # commits between v2.5 and v2.6 git log v2.5.. # commits since v2.5 git log --since="2 weeks ago" # commits from the last 2 weeks git log v2.5.. Makefile # commits since v2.5 which modify # Makefile
git log --help for a lot of extra options, to refine the output.
darcs tag
git tag <tagname>
This will fail if the tag already exists. If you want to move an existing tag use
git tag -f <tagname>, but never move a tag in a public repo/branch. Use this only on local branches, and only if the tag exists nowhere else.
git tag --help contains a discussion of this.
darcs whatsnew
git status
darcs diff
git diff
git diff <commit1>..<commit2> # show diff between two commits
darcs revert
Not sure if this gives you fine-grained reversion of individual hunks:
git reset --hard
git reset only resets the staged files, i.e., the things added with
git add.
darcs unrecord
Not sure if this will unrecord any patches except the most recent???
git reset --soft HEAD^
darcs unpull
darcs amend-record
It is not easy to amend any patch except the last one committed.
If the change to be amended is the latest commit
git commit --amend
TODO describe workflow if amended patch is not the current HEAD.
TODO add note for merge commits
darcs rollback
git revert <commit-id>
Working directory must be clean. (You can use
git stash to save local changes).
darcs annotate
git blame
General Notes
The Index
Local Branches
git branch git branch <name> git branch -b <name> git checkout git branch -d <name> git branch -D <name> git stash git show-branch
git pull git fetch git merge
Suggested Workflow
- feature branches
git rerere
Example Workflows
Fix a bug
git pull <upstream> # get latest changes git checkout -b fix_bug # start a branch to fix the bug # ... hack ... git add -i # select the proper changes git diff --cached # verify what will be committed git commit # ... test ... oops, forgot something git add -i # add the new patches git commit --amend # add them to previous commit # ... test ... looks fine now git checkout master # back to main branch git pull # make sure it's up to date git merge fix_bug # merge in our local changes # ... if we get a conflict here, edit the file then # ... add the changed files with git add, then git commit git push # push changes to personal public repo # or directly to <upstream> git branch -d fix_foo # delete the branch we no longer need
Yes, it is a bit more complicated than using darcs to do the same thing:
darcs pull <upstream> # get latest changes # ... hack ... darcs record # select the proper changes # ... test ... oops, forgot something darcs amend-record # add the new patches # ... test ... looks fine now darcs pull # make sure it's up to date # ... if we get a conflict here, edit the file then # ... darcs amend-record darcs push # push changes <upstream>

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Dez Wells scored 23 points and Maryland pulled away to beat Wake Forest 67-57 on Saturday and spoil Chris Paul Day.
The Raleigh native was 11 of 12 from the field and finished two points shy of his career high of 25 set Dec. 2 against George Mason.
The Terrapins (20-9, 8-8 Atlantic Coast Conference) overcame 19 turnovers and some serious foul trouble to hold the Demon Deacons (12-16, 5-11) without a field goal for the final 4½ minutes and claim their second ACC road win of the season.
C.J. Harris scored 19 points and Devin Thomas added 17 for Wake Forest, which had the ball down 61-57 with 2 minutes left but couldn't get any closer.

HACKENSACK, N.J. — Being sick was something Hackensack physician Edward Shmaruk was used to as a kid.
It was never anything severe or life-threatening, but constantly having head colds certainly was uncomfortable and exhausting.
The only thing that seemed to help was holistic medicine, particularly chiropractic — which is why the Fair Lawn native pursued just that.
"Being in treatment and chiropractic care helped my health and immune system," said Shmaruk, who opened his Jefferson Street practice, Back2Health Chiropractic and Therapy Center, in 2008.
The Tae Kwon Do black belt specializes in sports injuries, automobile accidents, work-related traumas and family wellness programs.
He takes a holistic and hands-on approach to find the root of a problem.
"We don't try to cover up symptoms with a Band-Aid®," Shmaruk said.
His methods avoid "unnecessary intervention" such as surgery, drugs and medication, which often can lead to opiate addictions, he said.
Shmaruk worked with an Olympic-bound Russian bobsled team, but the majority of his patients are local Bergen County residents — police officers, nurses, moms, and more.
And what's the injury he sees most? Back pain, he said.
It's the second most common ailment in the U.S. behind the common cold, Shmaruk said. And starting preventative treatment early on — before it's too late — is key.
"It's about treating people from a young age rather than coming in with an arthritic condition, which can put life at a standstill," the physician said.
But the one thing Shmaruk wants people to know: "We're here to help," he said.

The NBA Playoffs march on, but the 76ers' offseason is already two weeks underway. These few weeks in early May are often seen as the quietest for NBA teams (except recently for the Sixers, who've held a coaching search in the two off seasons prior to this one). But things are about to "heat" up in Sixer-land (pun intended), beginning with next week's NBA Draft Combine in Chicago. Because of this, we thought now was a good time to discuss what type of off-season player the Sixers could be this summer.
Obviously a lot of what happens going forward is dependent on the status of the CBA and the potential lockout, but since that's a topic we won't be able to address until next month, we'll be game planning as if the 2011-12 season will be played (otherwise we'd just leave this blog empty, kind of like the arenas would be next season if an agreement isn't reached).
Here's what's coming up in the next month for the Sixers: the draft combine in Chicago starting next week, running from May 18-22. Basically this is the official combine for teams, with all of the potential first-round picks working out and holding interviews with teams. By the end of the month, the Sixers will begin inviting players into PCOM for workouts before the draft. The NBA Draft is scheduled for June 23 and the Sixers currently hold the No. 16 pick, plus a second-round selection. Because consensus is that this is a relatively weak draft, talent-wise, most pundits feel it would be a wise strategy for teams to draft for need, not talent. In past seasons, the Sixers have held the philosophy that they'd select the best available player, regardless of his position, and regardless of whether they had any need for that specific player at that specific position. It still remains to be seen how the front office will approach this draft, but it's likely they'll focus on obtaining some interior help even if there is a really talented swingman on the board.
There are so many bases to cover, so before we try to touch them all, let's lay out the Sixers' roster and salary cap issues heading into the off season. The Sixers have only two significant players coming off the books (also Antonio Daniels and Tony Battie, but these are "significant" contracts): Jason Kapono and Darius Songaila. Let's just say there is 0 percent chance either of these players re-signs with the Sixers -- because there is, literally, 0 percent chance that happens. Combined, those two contracts equal approximately $11 million, meaning the Sixers have $11 million coming off the books. Before you start imagining what kind of player the Sixers could sign for $11 million a season, let's bring it back down to reality. Both Thaddeus Young and Spencer Hawes are restricted free agents and it's safe to say the Sixers will aim to re-sign both. With the rising contracts of Elton Brand, Andre Iguodala, Lou Williams, Evan Turner, Marreese Speights, Jrue Holiday (all of them have higher salaries for the 2011-12 season compared to the 2010-11 season), plus the addition of a first-round pick and his contract (should the team keep the selection) and the addiiton of a second-round pick and his contract (should the team keep the selection), and the Sixers essentially have little to no room on the free-agent market. Obviously, it remains to be seen whether the new CBA will keep the mid-level exception, which could provide an outlet for the Sixers to get something done on the free-agent market. And it remains to be seen what next season's salary cap will actually be, but when talking about what the Sixers might be able to do in free agency this summer, one must come to the realization that free agency isn't likely the road the Sixers can take to improve the team.
That leaves them with two paths: the 2011 NBA Draft (pick No. 16) and trades. Or, as is a distinct possibility, a combination of the two: a trade on draft day. Everyone knows the holes this roster has: interior play and an 82-game scorer. These are not easy holes to fill. The problem with trying to trade for a big man is that NBA teams are generally loathe to trade any effective post player because they aren't a dime a dozen. If you got one, you'll do anything in your power to keep him.
We'll have to assume the Sixers will approach this draft as their main shot at snagging some interior help. If they want to play it out with the hand they've been dealt, you're looking at the addition of a big man like Georgia's Trey Thompkins, who some draft experts have landing in the Sixers' No. 16 spot, although others have him going lower in the first round. Research of Thompkins -- and noticing comparisons to Channing Frye -- leave you thinking he's not quite what the Sixers need because he's solid on the block, but also has a feathery jumper and likes to face up. The Sixers had that with Jason Smith and, in some ways, have that again with Hawes. We all know they need a bruiser like Reggie Evans and a legitimate starting center, with Hawes being a very capable backup. Another name to keep an eye on is Lithuanian center Donatas Montiejunas (yes, I triple checked that spelling). He's a 7-footer that could go as a lottery pick, but who could also fall lower like Holiday did during the 2009 NBA Draft. Again, Montiejunas isn't exactly what the Sixers need, but that's what happens when you're selecting on the lower end in the draft.
The guy that could be the upgrade the Sixers need is Turkish center Enes Kanter: 18 years old, physical, good rebounder, and also slated to be drafted somewhere from No. 3-5. In order to climb the ladder that high, you're looking at the Sixers combining a trade with draft day, and that would cost them a piece of their puzzle. But without the free agency money to be players in their own right, the Sixers will look to get creative in combining trade value with draft day, which is when some of the league's most crucial moves transpire.
Also, as we head into the rest of May and the buildup to the draft, it must be noted that the Sixers will interact with Doug Collins about every potential move they make. Because this team relied so heavily on the chemistry and blended personality (in large part molded by Collins), he'll be included even more than most coaches regarding personnel decisions.
Hope this helps as a primer for the next six weeks of NBA off-season action. In watching the way the Miami Heat dismantled the Boston Celtics, it's clear that the Sixers' series with Miami was even more impressive than we thought at the time. Of course, the franchise was in a similar position after the 2008-09 season, when they played the Orlando Magic better than any other Eastern Conference opponent. It's a nice little reminder of how far the Sixers have come, going chest-to-chest with Miami, but unlike what happened after that 2009 Playoff series, the Sixers must make some legitimate franchise-changing moves so we're not sitting here in 2013 talking about another solid first-round effort.
More coming in the upcoming weeks. We'll be holding a Live Chat at 1 p.m. today on Philly.com. And if you want to follow on Twitter, you can do so here: Deep Sixer.

(Reuters) - A Michigan man who was fired by Wal-Mart after he defended a woman who was attacked in a store parking lot during his meal break has been offered his job back, the company said on Friday.
Kristopher Oswald, 30, who worked at a Walmart store in Hartland Township, located northwest of Detroit, was dismissed on Sunday for violating company policy, company spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said.
"The protocol is when you do see something, you alert store management and call the police. That's in place for the safety of our associates so they don't feel compelled to get into a situation that may be dangerous," Buchanan said.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc said media coverage prompted its corporate office to review the parking lot security footage and police report. Oswald, a temporary employee who had worked nights stocking shelves, was contacted on Friday with an offer to return to his job.
"While Mr. Oswald did violate one of our policies at the time, we now have found his intentions were good," Buchanan said.
The company said it has not heard from Oswald about the rehire offer. Oswald did not respond to requests from Reuters for comment.
Oswald was sitting in his car around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, eating a sandwich, when he heard a woman scream, he said in an interview with television station WXYZ-TV in Detroit. A man was sprawled on the hood of the woman's car. When she tried to pry him off her vehicle, he attacked her.
"This was just intimidation, aggression and bullying I saw from a male, belligerent suspect on a defenseless woman," Oswald said in a video of the interview posted online.
Oswald said he confronted the man, who then began punching him in the head and threatening to kill him. Oswald said he was able to subdue the man, but that two other men then jumped on him from behind.
Livingston County sheriff's deputies arrived on the scene and quickly broke up the fight, Oswald said.
Oswald had been working for Wal-Mart for about seven weeks and was not yet considered a permanent employee.

The 2013 Tribeca Film Festival has come to a close! Bryce Dallas Howard and Ari Graynor helped finish out the 11-day-long festivities by toasting to their peers at the Tribeca Film Festival's Women's Filmmaker Brunch, held at Company 3 in New York City. The event also marked the first time the Annual Nora Ephron Prize was given out, which is a $25,000 grant awarded to a woman whose work embodies the spirit of the late author. First-time writer and director Meera Menon took home the honor for her work on Farah Goes Bang, a film about an awkward twenty-something girl who travels with friends to stump John Kerry's 2004 campaign.

I just moved to Arlington, and I have courts across the street from me (Lee Hwy). I'm a 4.0 - 4.5 player when I'm not rusty, but I'm pretty rusty right now since I just came from the Midwest where it's been winter for the last 3 years.
I'm free most weekends and oftentimes on evenings as well. I can travel a little bit, but I don't have a car. If anybody is interested let me know!
Views: 304
Replies to This Discussion
I am probably somewhere between 3.5 to 4.0 male player in late 30s
Let me know if you want to play and can get to Bluemont Park off of Wilson and Manchester
Hi Mike, sorry for the late reply. I probably could do that. Do you know if the courts are lit at night?
If you're free to play on Wednesday evening, you should let me know, it's supposed to be pretty warm out. You can call or text whenever, (414) 202-1338.
Hey Mike,
Let me know if you're looking for a regular tennis partner. I live in Courthouse, Arlington.
Just wanted to make sure you knew we have a huge Arlington Tennis Partners group here too.
I work in Arlington next to the Quincy park courts, so let me know if you want to hit after work sometime.
Yeah, definitely. Call/text sometime, (414) 202-1338. Perhaps sometime this week or the weekend? Let me know.
I'd be happy to play. I'm a 3.5 and can play sets or keep a volley going. Let me know if you'd like to play over the weekend sometime.
I might be free Sunday, not sure yet. But maybe during next week sometime, or the next weekend. I'll shoot you a text.
I can play after 5 pm on weekdays and in the morning on Sat/Sun.
571 484 9896
Anybody free to play today? I'm done with work at 3:30 p.m. - looks like good weather this evening!
Any takers for Arlington tonight?

MARICOPA, Ariz. (AP) — An Arizona woman who knew she couldn't compete head on with her neighbor's elaborate Christmas light display is attracting attention for her response.
Using red and green lights, Kristina Green of Maricopa spelled out the word "ditto" and made an arrow pointing toward her neighbor's home.
KNXV-TV reports that Green's display is made of around 600 lights. Her neighbor's set-up has about 16,000 colorful lights.
Green has created a Facebook page for her "ditto" sign.
Last year, a family in Beaverton, Ore., also erected the word "Ditto" with an arrow on the side of their own home toward a neighbor's house as part of an online movement.

MARANA, Ariz. — Tiger Woods had a one-liner ready when asked about the weather forecast, which includes the possibility of snow at the Match Play Championship.
"We won't be able to work on our suntans," he said.
A front was expected to move across the high desert overnight and bring temperatures low enough that light snow was possible. At best, it figures to be frigid for the morning matches as the sun climbs over The Ritz-Carlton Club at Dove Mountain.
Two years ago, morning snow covered the course before Luke Donald beat Martin Kaymer in the championship match. There also was a 10-minute delay when sleet coated the fourth fairway.
The cool temperatures might make it harder for the world's No. 1 player to heat up. Rory McIlroy made a big splash last month at the Abu Dhabi Championship. He was introduced as Nike's latest client, complete with a laser show and high expectations, only to miss the cut in his debut.
McIlroy reached the championship match a year ago, losing to Hunter Mahan. Today, he will be battling the weather, as well as first-round opponent Shane Lowry, whom McIlroy has known since they were juniors playing Irish golf events. And he will try to avoid becoming the third No. 1 seed to lose in the opening round in the last four years — and do it with his new Nike equipment, which didn't work out so well in Abu Dhabi.
Nick Faldo said it was "dangerous" to change equipment. Speaking from his own experience a generation ago, Faldo said that while the specifications can be duplicated, that doesn't take into account the feel of the club, the sound it makes and the confidence that gets developed.
Woods opens against Charles Howell III in a match that takes both of them back to their youth. The last time they faced each other in this format, Woods beat Howell in the quarterfinals of the 1996 U.S. Amateur.
Woods is the only three-time winner of the Match Play Championship, though he hasn't advanced out of the second round since he last won this event in 2008.

Syria has still not allowed a team of experts into the country despite its call for the United Nations to investigate alleged chemical weapons use by rebels, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Wednesday.
Syria has asked the U.N. to investigate a chemical weapons attack in March on the village of Khan al-Assal outside of Aleppo, which the regime blames on rebels and the rebels blame on regime forces.
Ban is urging the Syrian government to accept an expanded U.N. probe into alleged chemical weapons use, saying he has concluded that a claimed attack in Homs in December also warrants investigation.
Syria's government wants the investigation limited to the single Khan al-Assal incident and last week rejected the expanded investigation.
Britain and France had asked the U.N. to investigate allegations of chemical weapons use in Khan al-Assal and another village, Ataybah, in the vicinity of Damascus, in March, as well as in the central city of Homs on Dec. 23.
The inspection team is in Cyprus awaiting permission to enter Syria.
"The team of experts is ready to deploy as quickly as we have the Syrian government's consent," Ban said. "The mission is to be able to investigate all the allegations made by the member states. I have been urging the Syrian government to show flexibility."
The secretary-general said "the mission will proceed with its fact-finding activities," and additional information has been requested from the three governments.
U.N. diplomats say the chemical weapons experts are expected to visit camps for Syrian refugees, neighboring countries where Syrians have fled and possibly London and Paris to try to obtain information outside Syria. The diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity because details have not been announced.
