What the Coach Said to the Umpire
…and other true life stories that make you laugh
The craziest stories usually are those that actually happened. Like the time a car crashed into Jake and Sadie's house late one night and woke up Sadie, who called out, "Is that you, Jake?" You end up telling them over and over again. Here are some that you sent to us. Thanks to everyone who submitted something.
Calling them as he sees them
This is a true story that actually happened during a high school baseball game. Since the individuals involved are quite well known, at least in Davidson County, I have purposely not
referred to them by name.
A certain high school baseball coach has always had a tendency to disagree with any umpire's call that does not favor his team. In a recent game, he had constantly questioned the consistency of the man in blue's strike zone.When one of his players was thrown out in a very close play at home, Coach charged the ump and protested the decision vehemently. Having put up with the coach's antics to his limit, the umpire ejected Coach from the contest.
Following the rulebook, which states that a banished player or coach must be "out of sight and sound," the abused official told the coach, "You must go where I can't see you."
This was the coach's opportunity for the perfect squelch, and he countered by going directly to home plate and saying, "I guess that means I'll stand right here, because you haven't seen anything that happened here all night."
Changing colors
Mr. Rother, my sister-in-law's dad, was a "Sanford and Son" fan. Every night at the time "Sanford and Son" was to come on he would go into the den, turn on the TV, sit down, take his hat off, and lay it by the chair. He would not say much until his program had ended.
One day unbeknown to him, his daughter-in-law took his TV to be worked on, leaving her color TV in the place of his. She knew "Sanford and Son" would be on that night and didn't
want to get on the wrong side of Mr. Rother.
So that night he came in, turned on the TV, and sat back, and the first words out of his mouth were, "Well, I'll be darned, Sanford has painted his truck!"
A half won't harm anyone
My friend Jenny and I had been faithfully following a diet program for two months and had not eaten any sweets during that time. One morning we met for breakfast and successfully stayed on program, eating only boiled eggs, dry toast, orange juice and black coffee. Next to us sat a gentleman who was leisurely breakfasting on three glazed donuts. We were very
envious of him.
The man left his seat at the counter, leaving one untouched donut behind. My friend nudged me and pointed at it, saying, "Look! We can't let that go to waste. Grab it before the waitress clears it away!"
Without pause or second thought we halved the donut and were happily licking our fingertips when the gentleman returned to his seat from the bathroom. We kept our eyes lowered and red faces averted as he questioned the waitress, and before he could consider us, we made a hasty retreat out the door.
Learning early
My sister took her little granddaughter shopping with her one day. She was buying a lot of things on her credit card. Even-tually, her granddaughter spoke up and asked her, "Grandma, when you die, can I have that card?"
Did she or didn't she?
When my father was growing up, his life was made more interesting by the pranks of his four younger sisters: Emmy, Elizabeth, Catherine and Louise. One evening after supper when he realized that one serving of dessert remained, he slipped it into a back corner of the icebox for a later treat.
To ensure that it remained his and his alone, he wrote a note saying, "I spit in this. Thomas." And propped it next to the dessert.
Some time later he returned for his prize and found an addition to his note. It said simply, "So did I. Catherine."
We're out of here
Every Saturday evening, my boyfriend and I would go to a different restaurant for dinner. We tried all kinds of foods and never dined at the same place twice.
One restaurant – we'll call it Damian's – had an unusual menu with duck, pheasant and things we had never tried. We were seated, given a pitcher of water, two glasses, and bread with butter on a beautifully decorated plate. The table was complete with linen cover, silverware, fresh flowers and a candle.
When my boyfriend looked at the menu, he got a terrified look on his face. He told me the prices were too steep, and we could not afford to dine there. I told him not to worry; we could just get up quietly and slowly and walk out. In his panic, he checked his pockets to see how much money he had and inadvertently tucked the edge of the tablecloth into his pocket with his money.
I'm sure you can guess what happened. Yes, water pitcher, glasses, candle, silverware, flowers, bread and butter went crashing everywhere as he got up from his seat to make our slow, quiet departure.
How to earn a nickname
Our friend, Lloyd, told us about his family reunion and his Aunt Irene. He said she had become intoxicated and several of the family members tried to get her into the house to lie down. She refused.
It wasn't long before she passed out in front of the picnic tables. People just walked around her being careful not to step on her. No one wanted her to get hurt. She had been out for awhile when Uncle Charlie, her husband, who had gone to the beer store, you know, for more beer, came back.
Well, he decided it was too far to walk from where the cars were parked, so he'd just drive up to those picnic tables so as not to have so far to walk. Everyone started yelling for him to STOP! Being slightly intoxicated himself, Uncle Charlie couldn't figure out why they were yelling. So he just kept coming.
Well, sure enough, he ran right over Aunt Irene. It scared him so bad he put that car in reverse and backed right over her again.
I asked Lloyd: "What did you do?" He said, "There were so many people over there, I just sat in my car and watched. 'Twern't nothing I could do."
"Did it kill her?" I asked.
"Naw, it broke her arm. We all just call her 'Speed Bump' now."
Saturday morning news
Several years ago our family moved to Boone so my husband could go to graduate school at Appalachian State University. We had three young children at the time and lived in university housing on campus. Every Saturday morning it became a ritual for my husband to walk down the hill from our apartment to a newspaper stand outside the business building, taking our three sons along with him to get the Saturday Winston-Salem Journal. It was about 200 yards away but visible from our home.
One Saturday, our 8-year-old asked if he could go get the paper "all by myself." My husband thought a moment then gave his permission to go ahead. He gave Josh the quarter and told him to be careful. We watched as our son went off, feeling a little apprehensive but knowing we needed to start letting him grow up some.
We watched him the whole way. He walked down to the newspaper stand, stood there a few moments, then came back. When he got back to us he had no paper. My husband asked where the paper was, and Josh replied that they were out.
"Then where's my quarter?" asked my husband.
Josh said, "I put it in the machine."
My husband then asked why he put in a quarter if the machine was empty. Josh said that he did not know it was empty until he opened it up and there were no papers inside.
His dad then asked why he didn't see through the glass that it was empty. Josh replied, "There was a paper in the way."
Why he sits in the back
This story is very true, and it happened to my husband and me. We stopped to get gas at the filling station, and once I paid we started off to a local mall. Well, I talked and talked to my husband who never answered, because he sat in the back seat.
Once at the mall, I turned to the back seat and no husband! This made me laugh, so I went back to the filling station. There was my husband, so upset that he called the police. He got out to go to the men's room and never told me.
Locked in
A good story is the best, but when it's true, it's even finer. A good friend of mine asked me to meet her husband at Frank's and give him a ride home. He drives a semi, and someone else was going to deliver his load for him. I took him home and didn't think anything more about it until the next day when she called to thank me.
She said he didn't have a key and had to crawl through the window. When she asked him if he made it in okay without breaking anything, his response was, "Getting in was pretty easy, but crawlin' back out that window was the tricky part."
Occasionally, when they're not at home, I call and leave this message. "Someone help me! I'm locked in my house and can't get the window open!"
Get some new ones
A friend of mine was sitting in the doctor's office waiting to be called back in. A young boy around 3 or 4 was actively moving about, going under the chairs, sitting on top of the tables, and just having a good time. His mother kept calling him down and was becoming quite exasperated in her efforts to keep him still.
In frustration, she finally picked him up and set him in a chair in a no-nonsense fashion.
The little boy began to cry, "My balls, you broke my balls!" He then reached in his pockets and pulled out some crushed Ping-Pong balls.
An older gentleman sitting across the room came over and gave the little boy five dollars and said, "Here son, get you some new balls. You just made my day."
Moonpie wedding cake
When my sister Gail was 17, she was asked to bake a wedding cake for a wedding. We all knew well that Gail made wonderful cakes, but when she started on the couple's three-layer wedding cake, the bottom layer fell. Gail didn't have any more time to bake another layer, so she put two moonpies under the rest of the cake, with icing, and said no one would notice. Well, they didn't notice. They said it had the best flavor they had ever tasted.
The nearest uncle
When I was 8 years old and my cousin Melanie was 5, we took a family trip to Tweetsie Railroad in the beautiful North Carolina mountains. Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Bobby, Melanie's parents, always made it a point to include me in their vacation plans.
Aunt Marilyn talked endlessly about the enormous rhododendrons we would see on our way to Boone. Uncle Bobby reminded us to keep a lookout for ferocious cowboys and Indians. Melanie and I could barely contain our excitement.
After a beautiful drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, we finally arrived at Tweetsie Railroad. The park was packed with tourists. When the famous Tweetsie Train came around the bend, it sounded its arrival with a tremendous whistle. The whistle was so loud, it drowned out the music from a nearby bluegrass band. We were all surprised by this loud noise. Melanie in particular reacted to the train whistle. She literally climbed up Uncle Bobby's legs, up his torso, wrapped her little arms around his neck and proceeded to loose control of her bladder. My poor uncle was soaked.
Melanie and I suddenly realized that the man that Melanie climbed was not Uncle Bobby. It was a unsuspecting tourist who happened to be standing next to Melanie when the Tweetsie Train whistle sounded. Every time I hear a train whistle, even 32 years later, I can't help but smile when I think of the look on that poor man's face.
Sue Ann was undergoing emergency surgery and left her body and went to Heaven's gate. "Is this it Lord?" she asked. "Am I dead?" He replied, "No, Sue Ann. You have 40 years left. Go on back to earth."
During recovery from her surgery, she decided that because she was going to live another 40 years, she would make the most of it. She had a face-lift, a tummy-tuck, liposuction and called in a beautician to dye her hair.
Upon leaving the hospital she was struck by an ambulance and killed. When she reached Heaven, she said, "Lord, you said I had another 40 years. Why didn't you protect me?" To which he replied, "Well, I didn't recognize you."
Who shot the crow?
Our good friend Wayne grew up in Blowing Rock at the Green Park Inn. As a boy, he often wandered the golf course with his trusty .22 pistol. One day he came across a crow and decided to have some target practice. He wounded the bird so that it was flopping all over the place, so he tried to catch it to put it out of its misery.
Soon, a couple came walking near where he was and asked what he was doing. He exclaimed, "Someone has shot this crow, and I'm trying to catch it!" Next thing he knew, the couple had caught the bird and were off to the vet with it.
The preacher's spot
A pastor said that when he first started preaching in the 1970s, people would often give him food instead of money for his services. Unfortunately, some of the food was inedible because of the taste. But he wouldn't dare hurt anyone's feelings, so he found a spot behind his barn to dispose of the food. When he was asked, "How was the food?" he could honestly respond "It hit the spot!"
Where were you?
My two kids, Heather and Paul, are very close in age and are the poster children for sibling rivalry. In the 9th grade, Heather was given a history assignment which included interviewing older adults that remembered the Kennedy assassination. The two kids were visiting their grandparents one day when Heather asked, "Maw-Maw, where were you when JFK was killed?"
Not knowing about the school project, Paul immediately interrupted: "Heather, do you really think your own Grandma shot JFK?"
A new recruiting test
Two big league scouts were coming down the West Virginia turnpike on the way to Atlanta, Georgia. They met a boy about 18 years old carrying five squirrels. The boy had no gun, so they began to wonder how he had killed the squirrels. They turned around and overtook him.
"Hey son, where did you get them squirrels?" they asked.
"Up in the woods," he replied.
"But you don't have a gun. How did you kill them?"
"I killed them with rocks," he replied.
"We just don't believe you can do that," said the scouts.
"Well, come on," he said. "And I'll prove it."
So they all went up the road bank into the woods. The boy said, "Do you see that squirrel out on that tall poplar limb?" They both saw the squirrel. Then the boy stooped down and got him a rock. He hefted it left-handed a couple of times and let fly. Hit the squirrel right in the head.
"Come on to our car, boy,' the scouts said. "We got some papers we want you to sign. We are big league scouts and we want to sign you up. A natural left-hander like you could really go places in the big league."
"But I'm not a left-hander," the boy said. "I'm right-handed."
"Well you knocked the squirrel out left-handed."
"I know," the boy replied. "Pa said if I threw right-handed, he'd whip me good, cause I break up the squirrel's bones so bad."

After trying to buy the Sukhoi SU-35 fighter jet since the 1990s, China is finally getting 24 of them along with four submarines from Moscow, Forbes reports.
The Russians finally warmed up to the deal (which was trimmed from an order for 48), marking the first big military equipment purchase between the two nations in over a decade.
The Russians are said to have more confidence that China can't copy their engines, and are also said to need the SU-35 orders because Russia's Defense Department is ordering follow-on buys of new upgraded Sukhoi SU-35s instead.
The deals raised concern among some regional defense players — namely India.
The new acquisitions seem to be just the beginning for military cooperation, with plans for even more bullets and bombs down the line.
"The Su-35 fighters can effectively reduce pressure on China's air defence before Chinese-made stealth fighters come online," the People's Daily was quoted as saying.
It said the two countries were expected to co-operate further in developing military technology - including for S-400 long-range anti-aircraft missiles, 117S large thrust engines, IL-476 large transport aircraft and IL-78 aerial tankers.
But they aren't just giving weapons to China. It seems, however, that Moscow is playing all sides in arming its neighbors. As UPI reports, there's a huge aerospace exhibition happening in Malaysia this week, with the goal of bringing on more Asian nations as customers, which already account for 43 percent of Russia's military sales.
Rosoboronexport is featuring an interactive display system at this year's event to show advanced defense products such as the Su-35 multirole fighter, the Yak-130 combat trainer aircraft, Mi-28NE combat helicopter, Mi-35M combat transport helicopter, Ka-52 combat reconnaissance-and-attack helicopter, Mi-26T heavy-lift helicopter, Gepard-3.9 frigate, and Project 14310 Mirazh and Project 12200 Sobol patrol boats.
Rosoboronexport is also spotlighting its latest air defense/anti-missile systems. Among them: the Antey-2500, Buk-M2E, Tor-M2E, Igla-S missile systems and Pantsir-S1 gun-missile system.
As correspondents at BBC point out, Russia and China "are trying to counterbalance American military dominance."
The Russian-made jet will join a fleet that includes China's own J-20 stealth fighter, a fifth-generation aircraft that some believe came from technology stolen from a downed U.S. fighter.

The Radio Astronomy Imaging group (RAI) is part of the Cyberapplications and Communities division at the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA).
Radio astronomy is rapidly entering a period of significant computational challenges. The key open questions in contemporary astrophysics require high sensitivity and fast all-sky survey capabilities from modern telescopes. Advances in Moore's Law enable the exponentially increasing data rates required in order to meet these science requirements but pose petascale computing challenges for the most data-intensive telescopes. These computing challenges require a signficant advance over current state-of-practice in radio-interferometric imaging.
Moore's Law is also driving digitization much closer to the individual antenna receptors in the data aquisition stream from modern radio telescopes as it is more cost-effective and scientifically flexibile to do so than it has been in the past. This increases the associated computational challenges and software construction costs for modern radio interferometric arrays and moves them closer to large-scale sensor array architectures. Image formation in radio interferometry is a complex, multi-step numerical procedure, as it requires the simultaneous solution of an inverse imaging problem and the determination of an unknown instrumental model. These calibration and imaging algorithms need to be deployed on these new array architectures in the petascale regime.
The increasing complexity of modern radio astronomy instruments also drives a corresponding need for more advanced, automated data reduction capabilities. At present, the inverse imaging process requires specialist knowledge, and is most often a time-consuming, interactive process with many intermediate computational steps. The required specialist technical knowledge of image formation methods poses a steep learning curve for new users of radio-astronomical telescopes, and often limits scientific access to a small subset of the potential US astronomical user community. It is a particular impediment to smaller institutions that may not be able to maintain a local investment in the expertise required to assist new graduate students and other users in this field. Exponential increases in data rates are rapidly rendering this custom, interactive data reduction model obsolete. Current data from modern telescopes demand high-performance automated pipeline reduction, encoding the best community practices in data reduction, as well as distributed access to large, federated astronomical databases to allow archive science. Modern advances in computational science and engineering and high-performance computing can enable breakthrough scientific advances in radio astronomy by addressing these challenges.
The RAI group is well-positioned at NCSA and UIUC to focus on these key interdisciplinary research questions. The group goals are to:
The National Science Foundation, the state of Illinois, the University of Illinois, industrial partners, and other federal agencies support NCSA.

6-29-19 Such a pretty sky this morning.
3 weeks ago
A creative challenge I've set myself. Can I take a picture every day that says something about me - my life, my art, my friends. Will I last a year or will I lose interest after the first few weeks? There's only one way to find out.

The CSI: Miami, House and The Tomorrow People actor will portray the rocker as a much younger man in The Help director Tate Taylor's new film, titled Get On Up.
According to CinemaBlend.com, Eversman landed the role after moving like Jagger on his audition tape. The actor offered up a side-by-side comparison of his performance to archival footage of the Rolling Stones frontman.
He joins a cast that includes 42 star Chadwick Boseman as Brown, Dan Aykroyd and Taylor's The Help stars Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer.

What does it take to scare the king… Stephen King, that is? (Seems impossible, doesn't it?) That's the question "omg! Insider" co-anchor Kevin Frazier asked the iconic author, who has a new hit on his hands: CBS's "Under the Dome," which is based on King's novel of the same name, premiered to groundbreaking ratings: 13.14 million viewers, to be exact, making it the most-watched summer drama on any network since 1992. That's definitely nothing to be scared of.
[Related: Who Was Stephen King's Inspiration for His 'Under the Dome' Villain?]
So what does freak out King? "Interviews. Promotional swings. They're tough," the writer joked. Apparently, a sense of humor and a fascination with the macabre are not mutually exclusive.
While he didn't confess to one trigger in particular, he did say, "I think I'm a naturally fearful person, and I think that conquering our fears makes us a better person."
[Related: How Shows Have Portrayed the End of the World]
So King doesn't necessarily have a phobia; that doesn't mean some freaky thoughts don't disturb the author. But what does "disturbing" mean to the man whose novels have haunted readers for decades? (As Frazier aptly put it, "Your disturbing is very different than a regular person's disturbing.") King's answer was downright, well, disturbing, no matter who you are! "My idea of disturbing is if you wake up in the night and yawn and a rat runs in your mouth." Gross!
What about "Under the Dome"? Will it get more terrifying in coming episodes? While the premise is science fiction, as opposed to straight horror, King assured us that it will get pretty twisted. "Week after week, the screws tighten, supplies get a little bit thin, and people's tempers start to fray. It's a tough situation. But it makes good TV."
"Under the Dome" airs Mondays at 10 PM on CBS.

Breast Augmentation Pearl River (Augmentation Mammaplasty)
Breast augmentation is the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedure in the U.S. It can give women with small or unevenly-sized breasts a fuller, firmer, better-proportioned look through the placement of implants in the breast. Women may elect to undergo breast augmentation for many different medical and aesthetic motivations, including balancing breast size and compensating for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or surgery. The procedure may be combined with others such as a breast lift for more satisfying results. Implants are silicone shells filled with saline (salt water) and are placed behind each breast, underneath either breast tissue or the chest wall muscle. The procedure lasts one to two hours and is typically performed with general anesthesia. After surgery the patient's bustline may be increased by one or more cup sizes.
Breast Lift Pearl River (Mastopexy Pearl River)
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is performed to return youthful shape and lift to breasts that have sagged as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, loss of the skin's natural elasticity or simply the effects of aging and gravity. The procedure can also reduce areolar size (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), and it can be combined with breast augmentation for added volume and firmness. It is usually done under general anesthesia, and lasts from one to three hours.
Breast Reduction Pearl River (Reduction Mammaplasty Pearl River)
Large breasts can cause pain, improper posture, rashes, breathing problems, skeletal deformities, and low self-esteem. Breast reduction surgery is usually done to provide relief from these symptoms. Performed under general anesthesia, the two- to four-hour procedure removes fat and glandular tissue and tightens skin to produce smaller, lighter breasts that are in a healthier proportion to the rest of the body. Breast reduction surgery is not recommended for women who intend to breast-feed, since many of the milk ducts leading to the nipples are removed.
Breast Reconstruction Pearl River
Modern surgical technology makes it possible to construct a natural-looking breast after mastectomy (breast removal) for cancer or other diseases. The procedure is commonly begun and sometimes completed immediately following mastectomy, so that the patient wakes with a new breast mound. Alternatively, reconstruction may begin years after mastectomy. There are several ways to reconstruct the breast, both with and without implants; your surgeon(s) should work together with you in deciding which is the best for you. Breast reconstruction has not been proven to affect the recurrence of cancer or other diseases, chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
Male Breast Reduction Pearl River(Gynecomastia Pearl River)
Although rarely discussed, enlarged male breasts is a common condition. Gynecomastia affects approximately 40 to 60 percent of men. There is often no known cause for gynecomastia, although there has been some correlation with various drugs or medical conditions. Men who feel self-conscious about their appearance are helped with breast-reduction surgery. The procedure removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a contoured chest that is flatter and firmer.

BT snares Silicon Valley phone firm
Yak yak, Ribbit Ribbit
BT is buying phone firm Ribbit for $105m, months before the Silicon Valley outfit's service is even scheduled to launch to consumers.
Ribbit makes a development platform which eases creating or adding voice applications - for instance it has added voice to salesforce.com's programs.
The company uses open APIs and has attracted a big community of developers. It hopes to release a consumer version of its product later this year.
Michael Boustridge, president of BT Americas, said: "The Ribbit platform makes it simpler, cheaper and faster to build communications functionality into applications, enabling developers to introduce new revenue-generating voice services in hours, rather than weeks."
The purchase will strengthen BT's software development programme. Ribbit will keep its existing management.
The company is only two years old and was owned by founders, staff and private equity firms. BT's buyout comes just eight months after investors pumped another $10m into the company.

Quite a bit of difference this year. The outline is different, bridle half the size and different power delivery. The kite looks smaller, but definitely has more power. I think the kite might be a flatter, but the looping is still a very even pull.

Medical helicopter crashes in New Mexico; 3 dead
NEWKIRK, N.M. -- A medical helicopter flying to pick up a patient crashed into the side of a New Mexico hilltop early Thursday, bursting into flames and killing all three crew members on board, authorities said.
The helicopter was flying from Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe to Tucumcari when it disappeared from radar at 2:48 a.m.
It went down near Newkirk along Interstate 40 about 135 miles east of Albuquerque and about 30 miles from Tucumcari.
Ranch workers found the wreckage on the rocky, northern side of a mesa after authorities called and asked them to look around the area.
"It crashed and burned," said ranch manager Phil Bidegain. "No survivors .... Everything burned except for the very end of the tail."
Bidegain said a ranch cowboy he called to help him look for the craft told him he was awakened by a sound but went back to sleep because he didn't know what it was.
"When he got up he could see the flames," Bidegain said.
Hospital spokesman Arturo Delgado confirmed all three people on board were killed. Their identities were not immediately released, but he said the CareFirst crew was well-known at the hospital.
"These crew members were our colleagues, our friends and our neighbors," the hospital said in statement. "Our hearts, and our prayers, go out to the loved ones of these extraordinary individuals, who were committed to saving lives every single day."
The Federal Aviation Administration said the cause of the crash was unknown, although the National Weather Service said there were low clouds and gusty winds in the area at the time.
"The combination ... likely led at least in part to that crash," said Brian Guyer, a meteorologist at the NWS in Albuquerque.
He said there might have also been some rain as storms had moved through the area earlier.
Kansas City attorney and medical helicopter safety expert Gary Robb says the aircraft are also difficult to fly.
"Helicopters don't glide," he said. "You must pay attention every second. If you don't, they are dangerous."
He said helicopters crash at a rate 40 percent higher than small, fixed-wing aircraft. And medical helicopters crash at an ever higher rate.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
Bullhead City, Arizona-based TriState CareFlight LLC owned and operated the helicopter, said company marketing director John Cole, who was traveling to the crash scene and could not immediately comment further.

These rare animals are threatened with extinction due to the increasing bushmeat trade in West Africa. The Drill Project is a conservation initiative and wildlife documentary featuring never-before-seen footage of the drill in its natural habitat. The film was shot entirely by Drexel biologist Dr. Shaya Honarvar and conservation biologist and director Justin Jay. The film is currently airing on television in Equatorial Guinea but has not been seen anywhere else in the world. Please join us for an exclusive screening on April 15, 2013 from 6:00PM-8:00PM to learn how Drexel is playing a unique conservation role in West Africa—one aimed at educating the local public, not condemning. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Dr. Shaya Honarvar; biologist Dr. Gail Hearn, who leads Drexel's conservation efforts on Bioko; Justin Jay, the film's director; and Ph.D. candidate Jake Owens, who studies the drills in the wild. Watch the trailer and learn more about "The Drill Project" here or read the featured article from Drexel magazine » The screening will be held in Mitchell Auditorium of the Bossone Research Enterprise Center (3140 Market Street). This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served following the screening.

One of the most worrying trends in business has been the slow pace of innovation in health care. While plenty of interesting work is going on, there haven't been many blockbusters.
Basically, massive R&D spending (there are 8 pharmaceutical companies among the top 20 spenders on research) hasn't led to anywhere near as many new and profitable medicines as companies had hoped.
That's why a survey of senior executives by the Boston Consulting Group didn't find a single business focused primarily on health care in the top 50 of the world's most innovative companies.
That's of concern to companies that can't get a return on their investment. It's of even more concern to society. Plenty of great research gets done outside of pharmaceutical companies and large biotechs. But when it comes to the process of actually developing an idea into a pill, powder, or something injected (much, much harder than you think), going through clinical trials, and getting a drug approved, they're pretty much the only game in town, because that process is so unbelievably complex and expensive.
So on one hand, we're not getting many breakthrough medicines. And on the other, few companies have extra resources to devote to low margin, but essential things like new antibiotics. We haven't discovered a new class of antibiotics in over 20 years, even as diseases become more resistant to the drugs we have.
What's evolved is an industry that's scared to take risks or make big bets. They often wait for smaller firms to prove a concept before getting involved themselves. That hasn't proved to be a sustainable long-term strategy either.
This is not a recent development, and it's one that's getting worse, as this bcg.perspective chart of the survey's results shows:
There's no easy fix; you can't flip a switch to make better science, and pouring money into the problem clearly doesn't work. What's needed is a greater focus on process, on getting more from less.
Part of that is a management question, making sure that big, in house R&D is accountable for results. Whether that's smaller, more focused teams, or better approaches, that's an experiment that's still in progress.
The other is being more efficient in coming up with ideas, for example, using new imaging technologies that can help reveal how much energy a tumor is using, and thus how well a molecule is working. Essentially, it's about finding a way to industrialize the discovery process, along the lines of what's already happened with sequencing people's genes.
The most important step is admitting that what's going on now isn't working, and aggressively changing sooner, rather than later.

nail scratched (HIV TRANSMISSION FROM FINGERNAIL SCRATCH, 2009)
Dear Doc I am helping PLHA in one of small organization in our country. last week I got nail scratched by HIV + person on my left arm accidentally and that person on meds since 7 years ago.I got two small cut and I washed my arm and I put Septadine immediately.So I went to see the Doctor and explained about that Doc said I don't need to take any pep or something cos I am not @ risk and HIV can't transmitted in that way.Can you answer my question please? Forgot to mention that I got two cuts on my arm and not very big. First I saw white and then red only very few blood came out.
I agree with the advice you received from your doctor. HIV is not transmitted by being scratched by an HIVer's nails. (See below.)
Dr. Bob
Nail Scratch Aug 24, 2008
Hi Dr. Bob - I have a question for you which at first I think is crazy and then my hypocondriacizm sets in. Today I was at the mall and man helping me at the store handed me something and scratched my finger. I see the red mark where he scratched me and it stings although I did not bleed. Should I be at all concerned I could have been exposed to HIV? Who knows what was on/under his fingernails. I am not trying to be sterotypical, but the man was defaintly gay. I realize that HIV can affect all men. Again I am a rational person most of the time, but I googled and that is never good for a person who can get themselves all worked up from time to time. Should I go to the doctor to get checked out?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Your "hypocondriacizm" has indeed struck again! Your fears of HIV acquisition from sustaining a scratch from the nails of a "defiantly" gay man are nonexistent.
Dr. Bob
Massage parlour manipulations! Jul 8, 2008
Hello to one helluva human being (aka Dr.Bob!) You can teach the whole G8 a thing or three about humanity!!
I have a quick question that requires your expert opinion - have found a Chinese massage parlour where the ladies genuinely give a good body rub. These girls use their hands, feet, knees and elbows to knead into you. My situation is this: Have been there a couple of times. The last was three days ago, where the lady had me lie on my back, rolled down my tanga's ( I was bare-bottomed), and proceeded to give me one heck of a rub-down ( dry, no oil). Later into the session she stood on my back, walked across my back kneeled on all fours and crawled on my back, etc. This morning ( three days later), I noticed a long scratch on my butt ( about 5 cms. long, and 1 mm. wide), which had already scabbed over with a dark scab ( i.e my blood had obviously come to the surface when this cut occured) Looking back I can only remember the back massage, and assume that the lady's fingernail/toenail had lacerated me during the vigorous work-out.
What are my chances in a worst-case scenario ?( i.e assuming she was +). Do I need to get tested ? A lot of these massage-type girls do engage in sex after-hours for additional income, so status is always uncertain...
Also, I know that this parlour's girls sometimes give a hand-job to finish off the session - how risky would this be ?
Your time and answers are definitely needed here - I have donated before and will do so again...
thanks in advance , kind sir!
Response from Dr. Frascino
Relax Max! Your HIV-acquisition risk is nonexistent. HIV is not transmitted by fingernail or toenail scratches, even when sustained on your butt by Chinese Masseuse contortionist going all Cirque du Soleil on your naked backside. HIV testing is not warranted.
As for getting a happy ending to your rub-a-dub-dub, handjobs are not considered an HIV-transmission/acquisition risk.
As for the G8, well let's just say they all seem a bit uptight. Perhaps your massage gal could loosen them up a bit?
Dr. Bob
Finger nail Oct 30, 2008 Short and simple. Can you get HIV from someone scratching you with their finger nail? I was helping a co worker with something, and she scratched my hand. It was a tiny cut, like half an inch. I don't think it bled, but it did sting and is still kind of red. Is their any risk. I'm worried she had an unnoticeable amount of blood under her nail. She just gave blood to the red cross, and they just called her to give more. Is that a good sign? I'm sure they screen...actually I know they do. But I'm still worried. Please help. I started a donation circle at my work to help out with the foundation. You do so much for us hypocondriacs :)
Response from Dr. Frascino
Your concerns are completely unwarranted. Yes, blood banks screen very carefully for bloodborne pathogens, including HIV, to protect the blood supply. So that gives you some level of comfort about the scratcher's HIV status. Second, and even more importantly, a nail scratch is not a method of HIV transmission. See below.
Thank you for your compassionate efforts to begin a "donation circle" at work for the Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation. What a marvelous idea! I've always found that whatever I give to help others in desperate need is always returned to me a thousand times over in myriad ways. Please personally thank everyone in your circle and give them all a cyber-hug from me.
Be well. Stay well. (Yes, indeed, you are well!)
Dr. Bob
Brothers living together one poz the other not May 7, 2004
I didn't think I would ever ask this question b/c I do believe the HIV is spread by sexual contact only (except in rare cases). However, my older boy 21 has HIV he lives at home and is very healthy. My younger son doesn't know about his brothers diagnosis. The other day they were play fighting and my sons nail scratched my youngest and made him bleed. I feel like I know better but have to ask the question if this is a possible way to transmit (no exchange of blood). I have read alot about the disease and am trying to not make my son feel like he is labelled in his own house so we don't panic everytime a hair brush is used. However, I am a little fearful since sometimes we all forget and get a little to comfortable. He is currently on meds and viral load 0. Thanks for being there - even for Mom's like me.
Response from Dr. Frascino
I'm here especially for "Mom's like you" and for anyone else who needs information or my humble advice.
You are absolutely correct that HIV is not transmitted by casual contact, a scratch from someone's fingernail, or by a hairbrush. You mention you are a "little fearful since sometimes you all forget and get a little too comfortable." I agree you should never "forget." I'm sure your son doesn't. However, I also strongly feel you all should be very, very "comfortable" with your HIV+ son living at home. In order to accomplish this, I have a few suggestions. First, all family members should be told about your son's illness. Depending on the age of your younger son, age-specific information should be provided so he understands his brother's illness. If you do not feel comfortable doing this, have a family meeting with your son's HIV specialist. He/she should be able to help. Next, all questions, concerns, and fears should be addressed openly as a family. You should even develop a list of these concerns to review, as a family, with the HIV specialist. By doing so, I think you'll find the proper balance between living "comfortably" and the realities of HIV in your home.
Good luck, Mom! Happy Mother's Day! Hug your HIV-positive son for me, and let him know I'm here for him as well if he had need of my services or friendship.
Dr. Bob

They asked questions about the AAVSO, variable stars and my own personal story. They were also interested in how much I knew about their science and astronomy culture and history. I hope I passed the 'Ugly American Test'!
It also dawned on me that this is probably why I've had a sudden surge in Facebook friend requests from the Middle East. It's good to know that in spite of our governments' differences, people can still communicate in the universal language of curiosity and the pursuit of scientific answers.
Assuming that most or all of the questions and answers exchanged in the interview made it into print, here is the text of the interview I returned to them.
Please tell us about yourself and AAVSO.
Founded in 1911, the AAVSO is the world's largest variable star organization, and is the world leader in information and data on variable stars. The AAVSO coordinates, evaluates, compiles, processes, publishes, and disseminates variable star observations to the astronomical community throughout the world. We have approximately 1200 members and 2500 observers from countries all over the world. In 2011, we celebrated our 100th year of collecting and archiving variable star data.
I am one of the world's most active variable star observers. I observe cataclysmic variables and long period variables, like Mira, using my own telescopes and robotic telescopes that are part of the AAVSO's robotic telescope network, AAVSOnet.
I work for the AAVSO as Membership Director and Development Officer. My primary responsibilities are to serve our current members and to grow the membership, as well as to obtain funding to support the organization's mission and programs.
However, like most people who work for a non-profit science organization, I wear many hats. I am also in charge of variable star chart production for the AAVSO, a contributing author of the AAVSO Newsletter, coordinator of the AAVSO Mentor Program, and administrator of the Cataclysmic Variable Section, LPV Section, Speakers Bureau, Writers Bureau and Facebook page.
What is the main goal of the association and who are the key member of the scientific committee in AAVSO?
The AAVSO is an international non-profit organization of variable star observers whose mission is:
- to observe and analyze variable stars
- to collect and archive observations for worldwide access
- to forge strong collaborations between amateur and professional astronomers
- to promote scientific research and education using variable star data.
The AAVSO Director, Dr. Arne Henden, is the chief operating officer and astronomical representative of the organization. Dr. Matthew Templeton is the Science Director. The other acting science committee chairs are actually the observing section leaders, who are divided among the major different types of variable stars.
Were you interested in astronomy from childhood or by chance you got into this field?
My interest was inspired by a science teacher in grade school who told us we could calculate the approximate height of mountains on the Moon using the angle of the Sun to our point of view and the shadows they cast. I thought, "Mountains on the Moon? What do those look like?" From that moment on I was completely fascinated by astronomy. I bought a small telescope with money from my newspaper route and read every book in our public library by the time I was a teenager.
Like many of us, my interest in astronomy waned as a young adult. I was busy going to university, building a career, getting married and raising a family. I did not become a professional astronomer, I was a musician, and then later a landscape designer/contractor. There was little time for hobbies or obsessions like astronomy. The desire to own a big telescope and contribute to science was buried deep in my heart; I just didn't have the time or money to follow up on it until I got older.
In 1998, my father-in-law bought a small telescope and had astronomy magazines strewn on his coffee table when we went to visit him. Seeing them and discussing astronomy with him rekindled the fire in me. This time it could not be contained. I bought the telescope of my dreams, learned how to navigate the stars, and began observing variable stars like a man obsessed.
At the time when you joined astronomy, at what level was the science of Astronomy of the world compared to today?
Since I returned to astronomy our basic understanding of the Universe has not changed that much. But there are some things that have been discovered in the last decade that are pretty remarkable, like the acceleration of the expansion of the universe, the number and variety of planets around other stars, the nature of gamma ray bursts, and the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.
Which one of Iranian scientist do you know? How much you know about "Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi" , "Khaje Nasir al-Din al-Tusi" and "Abu al-Rayhan al-Biruni"and... ? how about amateur astronomers?
The most famous Iranian scientists I know of is the brilliant Professor Mahmoud Hesabi, who is of course the father of physics and space science in Iran. I am not very familiar with any contemporary scientists.
I know of Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi because of his historical brightness estimates of stars, particularly, Polaris, the North Star. A colleague of mine has used them in a study of the long-term changes in Polaris' brightness. Polaris is a Cepheid variable, but its overall brightness appears to have changed over the last several hundred years. This could not be known without accurate historical records like those of Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi.
Khaje Nasir al-Din al-Tusi was a pre-Copernican scientists and philosopher, but I do not know very much about his specific achievements or his life and career. Abu al-Rayhan al-Biruni is not a name I know. I hope I have not flunked the exam!
I do not know any Iranian amateur astronomers personally, but I am beginning to have contact with more and more Iranian students and scientists through Facebook and other social media these days. The AAVSO and I are very willing to make friends with people all over the world who are interested in variable stars, stellar evolution and research.
Recently the study of Astronomy has been increasing from universities to schools and even public places like parks, can you give me a reason for this?
I think everyone has a curiosity about the heavens and the stars and where we came from and what is the ultimate fate of the Universe. Religion and philosophy attempt to provide many of those answers, but mankind is a curious beast and his inquiries have led him to investigate the Universe with the tools and methods of science.
This is undoubtedly why so many of the famous Iranian scientists were also mathematicians, philosophers, poets, geologists, and anthropologists. All those things are woven together in our search to understand ourselves, the Earth and the Universe we live in.
Tell us briefly about variable stars.
Variable stars are stars that change brightness on timescales of minutes to hours to days to centuries. Some of them change because they are actually pulsating, swelling and shrinking in a rhythm determined by their mass and the age of the star. Some vary because they have giant star spots, like sunspots but much bigger, and as these rotate into our field of view they appear to make the star dim. Some variable stars are actually close pairs of stars, so close we can't see them as a double star. They may be lined up in such a manner that as they rotate around each other one eclipses the other from our point of view, and this eclipse causes a dimming in the total output of light from the pair. Yet other close pairs are entangled in a death spiral, where one star is constantly stealing material from its neighbor until it becomes unstable and a nuclear eruption takes place, making the system appear hundreds of times brighter to us on earth in a matter of hours. And finally, some variable stars are the final flash signaling the destruction of a massive star or pair of stars at the end of their evolutionary path.
These variations in brightness can help us to unlock the secrets to the stars themselves. What are they made of, how far away are they, what makes them shine, how large are they, how massive, how are they born and how will they end- all these things we can better understand by learning about variable stars.
Which variable stars interest you most and why?
First of all, I like variable stars that are bright enough I can study them with the tools I have at my disposal. I don't want to read about them. I want to observe them with my own eyes or instruments.
As far as types of variable stars, I am fascinated by cataclysmic variables, close binaries, usually consisting of a white dwarf and a red dwarf orbiting so close to each other that the white dwarf robs the red star of its outer atmosphere, causing periodic eruptions. I also like RCB type stars. These are stars that can shine steadily for months or years and then suddenly fade by up to 8 or 9 magnitudes! This is believed to be caused by the star belching a load of carbon soot into its outer atmosphere, which dims it from our point of view until the cloud of dust dissipates and we can see the underlying star again. There are not that many of these special stars and there is much we do not know about them, like-how they are formed?
Are variable stars so important that they have dedicated research center to study them?
There are not really any research institutes in the USA devoted to pure astronomical research on specific topics related to variable stars. There are not a lot of institutes for any specific astronomical pursuit. Most research institutes cover a broad range of scientific astronomical activities, like solar or planetary sciences. The AAVSO could be considered the next nearest thing to that, but it is not currently a research institute. We are more engaged in acquiring and archiving data for dissemination than performing research on or with the data.
I believe that is something we should strive to become in the 21st century, but that is venturing into a political discussion I won't be elaborating on here.
As of now, how much do we know about variable stars?
What we know about variable stars today will mostly stand up to testing and theories a hundred years from now, but there is a LOT we don't know. So I would say we have just opened the door and stepped inside, but we have not even turned on the lights and walked around this house yet.
Why in Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, variable stars are in the top of diagram?
This is factually incorrect. You are referring to AGB stars, but variable stars reside in places all over the H-R diagram outside of the main sequence. Essentially, anywhere stars leave the main sequence they are evolving and most likely also varying in brightness. Even stars on the main sequence vary. Our Sun is a variable star. Variable stars are everywhere, including all over the H-R diagram.
How much the destiny of mankind depends on Astronomy and variable stars?
I don't think astronomy or variable star research will cure cancer, stop wars or make governments smarter or more benevolent. But our destiny is out there amongst the stars, eventually, if we last long enough to make that journey. When we go, it will be good to know as much as we can about what is out there, how to get where we are going and what we are likely to find when we arrive. Like every great migration of human beings, it will be an adventure full of discovery and danger, wonder and peril. We will want to be armed with knowledge as well as courage.
Where do you think our country (Iran) stand in the field of astronomy in 21 century?
As I confessed earlier, I do not know very much at all about the current state of research or education in astronomy and physics in Iran. Hopefully, political tensions between our countries and in the Middle East in general will ease to the point I can feel comfortable enough to come visit and find out for myself one day. I would like that very much.
Name some of the variable stars that are visible with naked eyes?
Mira, when it is at maximum. Betelgeuse, eta Geminorum, Algol, eta Aquilae, delta Cephei (the prototype of Cepheid variables), mu Cephei (Herschel's Garnet Star), gamma Cassiopeia and of course, once every 30 years or so, epsilon Aurigae, another great mystery.
How can a person join the AAVSO?
Membership in the AAVSO is open to anyone—professionals, amateurs, and educators alike—interested in variable stars and in contributing to the support of valuable research. You can apply online at our website http://www.aavso.org/aavso-membership
Annual dues are $60.00 US and $30.00 US for students, which is one of the best bargains in astronomy if you consider the benefits of membership in this prestigious organization.
I must remind you that you do not need to be a member of the AAVSO to become an AAVSO observer. We have many observers from other countries who are not paying members of the AAVSO, but their valuable observations are included in the AAVSO International Database.
A sentence about astronomy and yourself...
You mean you're not tired of my opinions and me talking about myself yet? I don't know what else to say!
I suppose I should warn you that you could become addicted to variable stars like me. I am a hopeless variable star junkie who must get his photon fix regularly or go mad. If you think you have any weakness in this regard, I caution you to approach observing variable stars with the utmost caution. It can be highly addicting, and the longer you do it the harder it becomes to go back to a normal life.
You have been warned…
Your last aphorism to us.
One of my favorites is from Harlow Shapley-
"Theories crumble, but good observations never fade."

The Houston Texans know who they will select if they use the No. 1 overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft, but general manager Rick Smith reminded everyone Thursday that the pick is open for business. Just in case you forgot.
Build your own mock draft:
Make your best guesses here for all 32 picks of the first round of the NFL Draft and you could win a trip to attend the 2014 NFL Kickoff game. Play now ...
"We are obviously open to moving out of the first pick," Smith said.
Smith repeated variations on the theme innumerable times throughout his press conference, proving a clear message while saying very little of substance.
"I know that if we select first, it's a unique opportunity obviously to be the first pick, so if we do select there, I know who we feel good about there. If we move, then obviously then there are variables that comes into play," Smith said.
That's three "ifs" in two sentences. And if you believe anything that a general manager says this month, that's on you. Move along, folks. Only seven more days until we get some real answers.
"I haven't determined much of anything yet," Smith said.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" runs through the latest NFL draft headlines and takes a look at which coaches and GMs are lying about their intentions.

County commissioners took minimal action Tuesday on a day Commissioner Dan Holub was not in attendance.
Sheriff Rob Craft informed commissioners that he hoped to have a contract with the Corps of Engineers finalized next month to patrol the reservoir. Dallke said the contract has been around for at least 20 years.
After reviewing jail totals from 2013, Craft and Linda Klenda discussed getting the word out to county residents about signing up for the Nixle alert system. Klenda said only about 60 have signed up for the free service.
Residents can sign up online by going to the county website and clicking the "emergency notification system" link under the sheriff heading on the elected offices tab.
Craft said the sheriff's department is working with the information technology department on connecting an audio-video link with the courthouse for first appearances.
In other business:
- Commissioners signed a federal grant from emergency manager Randy Frank, allowing his department to obtain railroad information from Union Pacific and to set up checkpoints on roads to scan for hazardous material moving through the county.
- Commissioners passed a $7,540 bid for a factory-refurbished defibrillator for the EMS department. Later, commissioners met with EMS director Steve Smith in a 15-minute closed session discussing personnel.
- Commissioners met with County Clerk Tina Spencer for a five-minute executive session discussing non-elected personnel.

Edmondson coach Dante Jones has been named Ravens' High School Football Coach of the Week after leading the Red Storm to the regional championship and a berth in this weekend's state Class 2A semifinals.
Jones has taken the Red Storm to the state semifinals six times since 1999 with a championship in 2006. The Red Storm advanced with last week's 12-6 win over Dundalk for the 2A North region title – their second straight close game after holding off Baltimore City rival Douglass, 14-10, in the regional opener.
Against Dundalk, the Red Storm (10-2) did not score until the third quarter and took its first lead in the fourth. Eric Tate tied the game at 6 with an 18-yard touchdown run and Marcellus Pack returned an interception 42 yards for the winning touchdown.
The Red Storm, whose defense has allowed only four opponents two touchdowns or more, will host Douglass-PG in the state semifinals Friday at 7 p.m. at Poly. A win would send them to the title game Saturday, Dec. 1 at M&T; Bank Stadium.
"We know we have to come into practice and work harder this week," Jones said in a news release. "We're going to review what we did wrong against a good Dundalk team and improve in those areas. We have to work on not coming out so flat and having a little more fire underneath of us."
Jones is the 10th Ravens' Coach of the Week this fall, joining Kent Island's Byron Sofinowski, Mount St. Joseph's Blake Henry, Dunbar's Lawrence Smith, Milford Mill's Reggie White, Francis Scott Key's Dave Smith, C. Milton Wright's Marc Alegi, Old Mill's Chad McCormick, Atholton's Kyle Schmitt and Mount Hebron's Phil Zacharias.
This is the 16th year for the Ravens' Coach of the Week award. Each week a different high school coach will be honored with a $2,000 donation to his school's football program, a certificate and a Coach of the Week hat. Each weekly winner also will be featured in a Comcast SportNet segment.
All of the winners will be invited to the Ravens' Dec. 16 home game against the Denver Broncos, where the Ravens' High School Coach of the Year will be named.

Awareness, makers of social media software, released their 38-page 2012 State of Social Media Marketing report this week. The report is based on surveys from over 320 marketers from a cross section of industries, company sizes and social media experience.
The three key watchwords from the report are presence, frequency and processes. Other priorities include more robust social media management, more social media presence and mobile.
The key challenges reported by marketers was funding (and finding) the resources necessary and measuring returns on the social media investments. This is great news for social media practictioners who have experience in creating and curating content, and for experts in measuring and analyzing social media returns and performance. There are still too few of these experienced resources who have hands-on expertise in working across multiple industries and situations.
As far as budgets are concerned, companies with limited money to spend will focus on increasing presence across social media networks. Companies with moderate budgets are planning on investing in social media monitoring platforms while companies with larger budgets will spend their money on social media management tools and developing scalable processes.
You can download your own copy of the report from this landing page or view the embedded Slideshare version below (courtesy of Elizabeth Lupfer of The Social Workplace).

Lorelai's Farm Birthday8:04 AM Edit This 0 Comments »
I gave Lo free reign for he birthday this year, pretty certain I could pull off whatever was in her almost 3 year old brain. I was a little scared when she said she wanted animals at her party. She's not really a doll kinda girl, she prefers to carry around her bunny or sheep and feed them lettuce and grain. I guess I should have figured that she'd pick a farm birthday.
Since I don't know anyone with anything close to a farm, I decided to post an ad on craigslist in the farm section and just see what happened. I had 20 replies in just 3 days from people all over the state that were more than willing to have us over for Lorelai's birthday party. I was so amazed at all the generosity. After weeding through all the emails, I found one that sounded perfect for us. She offered us the ability to pet and feed the sheep, goats and chickens. Also a hay loft that we could have some food and cake in that had a slide going down to the hay and Todd (the owner), even built a hay fort for the kids.
Here is Lo with her BFF Sophia, these girls are so ridiculously cute together. They hold hands and play together and are sweet as sugar. Love it when they get to play together.
Here is the hay slide. The kids loved it! Lo had more fun with the hay than anything. She sat in this big pile and bathed in it. Her bath was filled with little bits of hay that night.
Here's my little country girl! We were worried there would be mud, so she wore her rain boots.
Here is Soloman... still unsure whether he's a goat or sheep... hahaha... either way, he was cute and completely tame and wandered around baa'ing at us and pooping all over while we ate and partied.
We got to feed the chickens, there were tons of them! I think this was probably the crowd favorite activity for the day.
Then we got to collect the eggs... if anyone knows Lo, they know she LOVES eggs. If I let her eat eggs all day, she would. So I think she enjoyed this the most. It was a tricky piece of maneuvering I had to do to get the eggs away from her without causing tears. She really wanted to keep them.
I forgot what her name was, but she had the craziest eyes and scared me just a tad. She also had boundary issues and would push you to move you if she didn't like where you were standing.
Here's the kids with the cows. The smell was something I could live without, but the kids didn't complain at all. They loved watching the cows be... cows!
My dainty little girl with the pinata... nothing was going to happen with her behind the stick!
But then Jeffrey stepped up to the plate and it took a VERY long time, but finally that puppy got whacked open!
She is SUCH her Nana's girl. Completely ignores the cake and devoures the frosting. She had a great day and a great party! Thanks to everyone for coming and sharing in he big day. Compared to the last 2 parties before #3, this was the easiest. I'm thinking nothing but destination parties from now on.

If you have tried to visit 091 Labs over the last days, you may have noticed an eerie quiet to the place and not a soul to be seen…
That's because we're in the process of moving 091 Labs into it's new location! =D
Our new address is "6 Commerce House, Flood Street, Galway".
We'll go into more detail about it and our future plans over the next few weeks but suffice to say that it's awesome and you should come visit us on Open Tuesdays from 7pm =)
All future events should be considered as being on in the Flood Street space and for anyone who has been using our Lo-Lo app to find out if the Labs is open, it should be operational again next week!
