Absolutely amazing! Congratulations on your win! I'm a runner who can barely push her daughter in the stroller for 3 miles without her getting cranky or me getting tired! You are truly an inspiration! :) I'm from Beaumont, but live in Fort Worth and found out about you on the Gusher Facebook page! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat race report!
It's a nerve wracking decision as a race director to make an exception. You plan, you worry, you give up your own goals- vacations, money, new cars, etc. all in the hope of making every single runner feel as if they are the most important runner on the course. Our job is to make it the memory of a lifetime for each and every runner or walker.
Then here you came asking me to defy convention. Asking me to let you put a stroller in a Boston Qualifying event. We did a lot of research that night. We stayed up for hours after you wrote us. We discussed, planned, thought about everything that could go wrong. "Where would you line up? How would that effect the quick U-turn that's less than half a mile into the start? How would we explain to everyone else why we were breaking our own rule, a rule that we had received more than a few emails and comments about?"
We also thought about everything that could go right. We thought of the inspiration you would bring to the people here. We are ranked as one of the unhealthiest, unhappiest areas in the United States. We have a high cancer rate. We thought about you. You mentioned your daughter was getting older and heavier. You mentioned that you may only have 8 years to live. We thought about her. If you ran our race there would be official photos and memories for her to cherish for the rest of her life.
In the end, like I explained jokingly to you in an email,it really was no-brainer. The benefit of this moment in life far out-weighted the risk. We reached out to our running community through Facebook as soon as we made the decision. This is an outstanding community. The immediate support was overwhelming. We were so worried about a backlash but it was obvious the community supported the decision.
People cried for you, prayed for you, believed in you and loved you. They found hope in you Iram. You had a very hard time expressing the reason that we should make an exception in your original email but in the end, when everyone saw you on the course and knew your story. When you won the overall marathon, when you faced adversity and overcome it, Iram you gave me a reason to allow you to run with a stroller that words would never adequately express.
Marathons are all about hopes and dreams. What kind of marathon would we be if we thought it through, realized we could follow the rules, safely allow it and still denied you this moment? Not the one we would want to be.RepliesSo glad you allowed him the opportunity. Thank you for giving him the chance to inspire us all.

God bless you for such amazing determination! But, why do you think the astrocytoma will cause your death? My son had one, the doctors said there was anything else to do. It would be growing and growing, but with God everything is possible and he decided to fight. After 6 months of his last diagnosis, the astrocytoma was gone. You love your family, keep fighting, God is in your side!
Delete I just want to say God Bless You!! You are what we all aspire to do, in spite of our circumstances!! God Bless!!
DeleteGod bless you, you are truly amazing and wonderful father. I really inspired by your determination and also your loves to your daughter.
DeleteI am a runner who has pushed both sons in the running stroller since they were born. During a 10k a man ran by me and said you deserve a medal, pushing two up hill on mile 5, giving juice and snacks, and laughing the whole way. I replied: No medal needed, just the laughs. As I ready for my 6th Boston, I am inspired by your love, your will and your strength. May your journey continue!!! You may not be running Boston this year, but you will be in my head and inspiring me to push further, to never give up and to enjoy the little things in life.

THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION!! KEEP GOING AND GOING AND GOING!!!!!! Iram's story was uplifting and inspirational, but you made me cry, Annie. Bless you, for actually giving his request a great deal of research, time, and input. Thinking about how his daughter will have the coverage of this to cherish after her father has passed is such a rare display of humanity that we are lacking these days. People do not only live in the here and now, and you took that into consideration in allowing Iram to run with Kiana. Maybe it's because I am a historian, but your compassion towards the current Iram and the future Kiana was beautiful!

dr bronsinsky in houston tx has been curing kids and adults with inoperable brain cancers with his cure since the 90s and the other doctors wont tell ya about this great doctor because then they wont make tons of money from there chemo and other nasty drugs.god bless you and i hope you contact this man
Amazing story! Congratulations on your win, and on seizing the moments to share with your daughter. My son has no desire to be a part of any of my athletic endeavors, but he DOES enjoy hanging out with me while I ride the bike trainer. The captive audience, maybe. :)
Good luck in your future...I hope it's far longer than even the most optimistic doctor would predict.As a runner with kids (who would never sit still in a stroller for any length of time), I don't think anyone could write a more inspiring version of your race than you. Thank you for sharing your version with us. I have read some of the articles about the race, but none of them left me in tears like your blog, because as a runner I can imagine the wind and hills as you describe. As one who has also watched several loved ones suffer from cancer, I also know that battle is not an easy one. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and Kiana.
ReplyDeleteA friend linked to your blog, and the other night I stayed up late skimming through the whole thing. First, congratulations on winning the marathon!! Second, kudos for fighting to live as normal of a life as you can. Third, you're being a daddy that your daughter will always admire.
And I love that the race director commented. I'd never heard of this marathon, but now it's going on my (too long) bucket list, because of the race director.- AnonymousMarch 14, 2013 at 11:57 PM

Yes!! Please, PLEASE google and research cannabis oil - primarily google 'rick simpson'. THOUSANDS have beat cancer (all cancers - brain too) with cannabis. In Michigan The Cannabis Cancer Project currently has openings for cancer patients in need of cannabis oil - they have several caregivers through out the state that can meet the needs of a cancer patient and provide quality oil. Contact at firstname.lastname@example.com or you can call 989-607-0384 Michigan Cannabiscancerproject. Or go to Rick Simpson on Facebook and read all the studies and proof! www.phoenixtears.ca There is a CURE!! also try youtube- dennis hill, biochemist who cured his cancer with the oil...it's all out there, you just have to take the first step!

What you have done for your girl is really great! I would like to quote some powerful words : "I am the resurrection, and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live!" These are the words of Jesus Christ. He also said: "for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye SHALL SAY unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." Believe in Him and speak - with your mouth - to the mountain, to the problem, and tell the sickness to leave your body in Jesus Name. Sir, put your thrust in Him, because He is the only one who can give you hope and life. I have seen it happen many manu times... and I hope to see Gods healing power released in your life. Blessings and greetings to you!
ReplyDelete Dear Lord Jesus, you're the healer and the great lord of the miracles and worders, heal your son who sufers now a sickness, you promised to heal and do all good thing for the one who loves you, you can make the bad good and turn the misery to joy ...

for Iram and your daugther Kiana.
When things look dark for our future days,
There are thoughts and hopes that truly amaze,
People that inspire, encourage, give us hope
You are one of these, with your strength to cope.
Positive outlooks, empower, lift hearts,
to us and our loved ones courage imparts,
So stay on your life course, thinking of others,
worldwide you have love from your sisters and brothers
People who share your desire to live,
Not just for time but inspiration we can give,
The WAY we live the lives we have today
Will be the foundation that we will surely lay
For hope, that our childrens children will know and love
When our lives are in the capable hands of our God above.
I created this poem for you and hope that you will fight the cancer with your positivity and obvious courage. May God bless you and yours. Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 11 and 12 in the bible says: 'For I myself well know the thoughts that I am thinking towards you is the utterance of Jehovah , thoughts of peace, and not of calamity to give you a future and a hope and you will certainly call me and come to me in prayer and I will listen to you.' Also when they call and ask the J.W.'s for the book 'what does the bible really teach?' (No charge, They conduct worldwide bible education based on voluntary contributions) There is so much of the bibles message of hope explained in that little book, from what I can see of your personality in your blog, you will really enjoy it. Anyway keep running the race for life! :)
Many kind regards to you and your family. (especially 'kianna' brave little girl.) - AnonymousMarch 18, 2013 at 6:32 AM

Meditate On
…God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.
Romans 4:17
Call Forth What You Want To See!
How does God respond to our problems? For example, how did He respond to the problem of darkness? The Bible tells us that when God saw darkness on the face of the deep, He said, "Let there be light," and there was light (Genesis 1:3). God saw the light and it was good. He saw good after He spoke! He didn't speak about the darkness He saw. Instead, He spoke forth what He wanted to see.
My friend, you are made in God's image. And God wants you to deal with the problems in your life by speaking forth what you want to see. Unfortunately, many of us tend to speak about our problems instead. We keep talking about how bad the situation is and then we wonder why the whole situation just seems to get worse!
Now, I am not telling you to deny that your problem exists. The darkness was there and God saw it, but He did not speak about what He saw. Rather, God chose to speak forth what He wanted to see. In fact, He called forth everything of creation—the sun, moon, stars, land animals, sea creatures and vegetation. By simply speaking, He brought all these incredible things into existence.
Beloved, if you want to see good, then speak the good that you want to see. Don't say, "This headache is really killing me." Say, "I am healthy and strong for by Jesus' stripes I have been healed!" And don't say, "My boss hates me. He's always picking on me." Instead say, "Because I have favor with God, I have favor with my boss!" Call forth the good that you want to see and you will see it! - AnonymousMarch 18, 2013 at 7:17 AM
You are inspirational
An Irish Prayer
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
God Bless from Ireland you are a true hero. I will not be surprised if you prove the doctors wrong. continue your exercise and active life. I have read amazing stories where people have defied such illness. You still have few years to go- even if the worst happens, make the best out of it. Please give my love to you beautiful daughter. It must be really hard for her. I will be thinking about you two and the inspiration you have given to the world. I really dont know if there is God, but if he/she is there he/she is the second best!

from Tucson, Arizona, USA A most inspiring race report. I am a 65 year old man and have a small race blog but its nothing like this! As to the stroller debate I've seen hundreds of people running with their dogs on leads over the 25 years that I've been running, and now there are people running with Nordic walking sticks, so with a stroller that's no problem at all to my way of thinking. I wish you much luck and much success for the future!

you can be healed, you have great determination and when you commit that to trusting God (faith) and with Him fight off this cancer, God can and He is willing to heal you Iram! Check out www.kcm.org for more info.
ReplyDelete Leon,
Admittedly I didn't hear about your and Kiana's runs until the Yahoo! op-ed.
My living/ working in Borneo.. well news takes a tad bit of time to hit the masses out here.
Good on ya,brother.
Admittedly, I'm 37 and a lifelong, gritty runner. When 33 I told my wife I was a tad run down and 'sluggish' in my runs.
Wouldn't you that very year the winners of the NYC Marathon and USMC Marathons were 33 years old!
Keep on keeping on, brother.
Much love

ReplyDelete Dear Iram,
Thank you so much for sharing your story and for inspiring us. I have a 3 year old daughter myself who I almost lost at birth. She was 4 months premature and only weighed 1 pound when she was born. She had many health problems and had to stay in the hospital for her first 7 months of life. As a result of this experience, I learned to never take her for granted and to spend as much time with her as possible. I play with her and read to her everyday and tell her I love her at least 10 times a day. However, now that she is 3 years old and healthy, sometimes, it is easy to get lazy and sometimes I forget to kiss her goodbye before I leave or sometimes I want to watch TV instead of taking her to the park. Your story reminded me how precious our time is with our kids and has inspired me to do even better for her than I have been. Thank you so much for giving me this gift of inspiration. You are a great dad and model for us all to follow. I wish you and your daughter all the health and happiness in the world.- AnonymousMarch 19, 2013 at 5:37 AM

I am a father with a 25 yo son having no issues but self asteem negatives. I told him to define Discipline; it is icing on the cake of life. Then, there are stories of courage using discipline to over-ride rough edges of existance like this. Whether we have a short or long existance, we must try to grasp as much positive as possible. Or, it was not recognized as existance in any time we do have.

What an inspiration you are. Kudos to you and your little one. Wish you the best of luck.
ReplyDelete I had to stop reading for a while because I'm near tears, my heart is racing, I just want to strap on my running shoes and head out the door, only I cant because I'm at work. You are truly an inspiration!!! I have a goal that I'm terrified about and completely ecstatic about all at the same time. Two years ago I started learning how to run. I have never ran in my life except when I was forced to in P.E. classes as a kid. My ultimate goal is to run the L.A.Marathon. It wasnt until this last weekend at the warm up 5K run to the L.A.Marathon that my goal had acquired a deadline. I will participate in the L.A.Marathon in 2014. There are lots of reasons that I'm scared about it, but reading your story has given me even more courage to train and work hard for this and has made me realize that I have been using very weak, petty excuses for myself because my illnesses can be cured with commitment, dedication, and will-power so there is NO EXCUSE! You have inspired me so much and for that I thank you. I will pray for you, your daughter, and your family. May God heal you and strengthen you! God Bless You.

ReplyDelete By fasting under professional supervision, your body will dissolve the tumor if it hasn't gone past the point of no return. The sooner you do this, the greater your odds. The best place in the world for this biological approach to overcoming pathology is at True North in Santa Rosa, CA. They have 30 years combined experience and there are also MDs on staff. Read "Fasting Can Save Your Life" by Herbert M. Shelton. You can probably fine a copy on Amazon.com
Then you would have to go on a super clean diet unlike the one you've probably been on otherwise the tumor will come back as it's your diet, primarily, that's caused your body to have to form a tumor as a self protective mechanism. Go to FitonRaw.com and talk to Swayze Foster and order her book and related materials. If you can run a freekin' marathon, you should be able to dissolve the tumor and restore physiological homeostasis.

ReplyDelete Congratulations Iram on an incredible achievement. I was diagnosed with a grade III astrocytoma in 2009 - a devastating diagnosis as I'm sure you understand. Two years later I ran the 2011 NYC marathon (in 4h 12m) and the Dublin Marathon in 2012 in a pb of 3h 41m. You've got to keep looking forward and staying positive. Keep up the good work, your story is truly inspirational.

For the first time in the memory of almost everyone present, a cabinet minister from Britain's third party formally addressed its conference.
What a moment in the tortured history of Liberal Britain! After thousands of twilights and a hundred false dawns, the chief secretary to the Treasury rose to address the Lib Dems and make an official government policy announcement – just as happens in the grown-up parties.
Were we uplifted? Were we excited? Up to a point.
There was a notice on the door of the hall warning: "Special effects will be in use throughout this session – including loud noises, explosions and flashing lights." That sounded exciting. But the sign must have been a leftover from Nick Clegg's Saturday night pep rally.
Danny Alexander, living up to the downbeat reputation of the chief secretary's job, spoke in a very curious fashion. It hardly seemed to be oratory at all; it was as though he were giving an economics tutorial to the front row. He wasn't inaudible, he wasn't mumbling – indeed, the effect was rather charming. But he wasn't projecting either. Perhaps he was just a little more uncertain about the contents of his speech than the script was meant to suggest.
And that may be the motif of this extraordinary conference. It could be the first act of a Tennessee Williams play. We are at a reunion in a family homestead in the deep south and everyone is getting on MAADY FAAN. But the air is getting heavier, the heat more intense and there is distant thunder. After the interval, the shouting will start, and we will find out who hates whom, who is alcoholic, who is gay and who is philandering.
This is not an exact analogy. For a start, we were in Liverpool and it was just cool and damp. Second, these are the Lib Dems and we have already had plenty of the above revelations.
But you get my drift? Sometime between now and the next election the suppressed tensions in this party are bound to explode. It doesn't look like happening this week, probably not even next year. But the explosion will come, complete with loud noises and flashing lights.
There were a few rumbles from party members on Sunday, but nothing life threatening. Mr Alexander threw them a bone about tax avoidance, letting them know the rich will suffer too (provided their accountants are less smart than the government).
This seemed to be applauded by about half the population of a half-full hall. Most of his lines – eg, "I didn't come into politics to cut public spending. But it has to be done" – were received more coolly. Yet at the end he got a standing ovation. There is a logic to this. The Lib Dems like the idea of being in government and applaud that. They just don't like the reality of it much.
Later, Nick Clegg, tieless in honour of the sabbath, did a Q&A session in the hall. There must have been some planted questions because he was miraculously able to announce extra aid to Pakistan flood victims on the spot. But on the whole he was brilliant.
Gordon Brown did these sessions at Labour conferences but took the questions in groups of three, with no hope of a supplementary, so he could avoid direct dialogue with the riff-raff. Mr Clegg does it properly, one question at the time with eye contact, and this was the lucid and engaging figure we saw in the first television debate.

After letting a one-run lead slip away in the ninth inning, the Z's battled back with two out in the bottom half, taking the season opener on a walk-off RBI single by Slidell native Logan Morrison to give the Zephyrs a 2-1 win over the Round Rock Express.
After New Orleans closer Scott Strickland surrendered the lone run for the Express on a looping fly ball to right field with two out in the top of the ninth, Donnie Murphy got the Z's bats going with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Murphy laced a triple off the top of the wall in right field, and Morrison followed with a single past diving second baseman Matt Kata.
The Z's tallied the game's only run through the first eight innings on a third inning solo homer by catcher Brett Hayes, an opposite-field shot off Round Rock starter Josh Banks.
New Orleans starter Ryan Tucker pitched six scoreless innings while surrendering just four hits and striking out five. Banks went six innings, allowing one run on three hits and striking out three.
Zephyrs relievers Chris Leroux and Kasey Olenberger combined for two scoreless innings, striking out one each before giving way to Strickland, who quickly retired the first two batters before three consecutive singles allowed the Express to knot the score.
Roy Corcoran took the loss for Round Rock, after Gary Majewski tossed two perfect frames.
The series continues tomorrow night from Zephyr Field as right-hander Rick VandenHurk will take the bump for the Z's, while the Express send southpaw Polin Trinidad to the hill in game two of the four-game set.

New Year, New Music! Christina Aguilera surprised fans on New Year's Day 2014 when she helped fellow diva, Lady Gaga, drop the newest version of the song "Do What U Want." Queen Xtina is the reigning champion of collaborations, boasting duets with everyone from Maroon 5 to Ricky Martin to Alejandro Fernandez. Luckily for you, we've sifted through her impressive repertoire and compiled her 10 best collaborations. Take a listen:

View all slidesView All Slides:
A week after performing together on the season finale of The Voice, Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera released a studio mix of "Do What U Want." Lady Gaga swapped out R. Kelly and Rick Ross (who appear in the original version) for a female-empowerment version with Aguilera. We can't stop listening to the catchy beat!
"Feel This Moment" was the ultimate party jam of the summer of 2013 -- and for good reason. Pitbull and Xtina sang about the importance of living fast and hard.
Ah, the song that was stuck in everyone's head for the entirety of 2011. The Voice co-judges collaborated on the hot track "Moves Like Jagger" -- a song that hit #1 on the Billboard Music Charts and became the unofficial song of the year.
Four fierce mujeres -- Christina, Pink, Mya, and Lil' Kim -- teamed up to remake the classic Patty Labelle hit "Lady Marmalade." The sexed up Christina version accompanied the romantic jukebox comedy Moulin Rouge! More importantly, it taught a generation of high school girls how to say "Do you want to go to bed with me?" in French.
Admit it: you had completely forgotten about this song. You're welcome for reintroducing you to a young Ricky Martin.
Queen Xtina took on the classic hit "Car Wash" for the soundtrack to Shark Tale. Missy Elliott and Christina Aguilera updated the ubiquitous disco song with a pop feel, and created a hit single that sold over 1.5 million copies.
Christina Aguilera released this hauntingly beautiful ballad with A Great Big World late in 2013. The moving song is emblematic of Christina's new mission to only take on projects that projects that represent the "here and now" in her life.
The Latina songstress teamed up with famous Mexican crooner Alejandro Fernandez for the sultry track "Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti." Christina Aguilera stripped down to a slinky pair of black lingerie for the equally sexy music video.
This Christmas classic is perfect year-round, especially when CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera are the ones lending their powerhouse vocals to the jingle. This collaboration quickly became go-to holiday listening for us.
Christina teamed up with Lil' Kim once again for the feminist jam "Can't Hold Us Down." The song, aside from being one of the catchiest hits of the early 2000s, was among the first songs to address gender inequality and double-standards in society.

Step aside catwalkers — male models are here. With the first menswear fashion week in the Capital due next week, male models are hogging the limelight. Thirty-two men, including 17 fresh faces, will strut designer ensembles during the Van Heusen India Mens Week (VHIMW) that takes place from September 11-13 at The Grand, Vasant Kunj.
The event positions India as the fourth fashion capital in the world to host a mens' week. Among the established models, Acquin Pais, Amit Sandhu, Angad Bedi, Lalit Tehlan, Namit Khanna, Sahil Shroff and Tony Luke will flaunt their moves on the runway. While Inder Bajwa, Lalit Tehlan and Sahil Shroff have walked for Indian designers like Rohit Bal and Rajvi Mohan, those like Acquin Pais have also sashayed down international ramps for names like Tommy Hilfiger, Diesel and Ralph Lauren.
Heritage pieces Van Heusen will also be launching a special line of shirts called the heritage menswear line at the event. Says Shital Mehta of Van Heusen, "Part of the line will be on display during the fashion week, which will then be retailed from stores across the country." The line will be priced at Rs 4,000 and above.

Lo-fi quintet Echo Park bash, crash and wail in the music video for "Young Silence." While the rave-up sounds radiate anarchic charm, the cool visuals — which were created using a hacked Microsoft Kinect — made the clip a viral hit in England.
Band members appear as squiggly forms on-screen thanks to the ingenious motion-capture technique used by director Dan Nixon, who modded a Kinect controller to shoot the musicians in action.
On his blog, Nixon describes the method he used to transform live-action Echo Lake players into digitized versions of themselves.
"The band was recorded separately by the Kinect plugged into a MacBook Pro," he writes. "The laptop was running a piece of custom software written in Cinder by my friend and colleague Dom Jones that wrote out the depth and RGB images to separate 'TIFF stacks.' Once we'd shot the footage I began to build on the work of Flight 404 (who wrote the original Kinect drivers for Cinder) to manipulate the images into one 'world.'"
The unusual source code for "Young Silence" qualifies the short for a screening at San Francisco's Disposable Film Festival. Running Thursday through Sunday, the fest champions shorts shot on camera phones, disposable devices, flatbed scanners — pretty much anything except conventional moviemaking gear.
Highlights include a Saturday night seminar/performance by YouTube-famous music duo Pomplamoose, with Cowboys & Aliens writer Hawk Ostby, Vimeo exec Andrea Allen, indie producer Ted Hope, Philadelphia experimental filmmaker Christopher McManus (Hair and Diamonds) and other guests slated to make appearances.

Is my combination safeSep 18, 2009 Hi Dr and thanx for the wonderful work u r doing. Am from South Africa, tested pos in 2005 feb and started meds in 2005 nov (3tc,nvp & d4t). After a year i had peripheral neuropathy, then my doc changed the meds to (combivir+nvp) which am still taking(cd4 450 & vl <50 copies). So i just read one of ur comment saying some meds are excellent and a person can expect to live near normal life than previuosly used meds. Is the comb am using safe? currently i dont experience any problems except for the headache esp when it is very hot. Thanx |
Response from Dr. YoungHello and thank you for your post from South Africa. The treatment regimen of AZT/3TC (Combivir) with nevirapine (Viramune) is a good regimen-- while not commonly used to initiate treatment here in the US, remains one that is on our alternative list (despite multiple challengers over the years). The limitations of the regimen are it's twice daily (compared with once-daily) dosing and slightly greater risk of side effects (compared with tenofovir/FTC and abacavir/3TC). If your only active side effect is occasional headache, I think that you're unlikely to have any significant short term issues. Be sure that your doctor is mindful of your fatigue and measures your red blood cell count for anemia (side effects of AZT). The peripheral neuropathy that you experienced should hopefully improve over time; I do believe that so long as you continue to have access to medication and adhere that you should live a very long and healthy time. Be well, BY | ||||||||||

Date & Time
Event Details
We are not created to be immortal. Our creations, however, can be.
The year is 1819. Beethoven is asked to write a variation on a waltz by publisher Anton Diabelli. Beethoven has no interest in the offer. His health is in decline. His finances are in shambles. He's laboring to complete his Ninth Symphony and he finds the waltz mediocre and simple. Yet in spite of it all he becomes obsessed with this 'cobbler's patch' and spends the next 5 years writing not one but thirty-three variations, creating "the greatest set of variations ever written."*
The year is now 2007. Dr. Katherine Brandt, musicologist, has been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Her relationship with her daughter is estranged. Her symptoms have begun to appear and her terminal path is fixed. Yet she becomes obsessed -- Katherine yearns to uncover why Ludwig van Beethoven, the foremost composer of all time, becomes obsessed with writing variations on a mundane waltz. And why would he write so many? What did he see in this trifle that would elevate its composition to stardom in memoriam?
Thursdays-Saturdays at 8:00 pm, Last 2 Sunday Matinees at 3:00 pm. $20; $15 senior; $10 military/student. (843)277-2172, www.charlestontheater.com

Of course, no Halo 3 experience is complete without an Xbox Live subscription paid seven years in advance and some Mountain Dew Game Fuel! Only the most hardcore gamers drink Game Fuel and Slurpees to finish the fight and then head over to Burger King to finish your burger grilled to perfection just the way you want it!
Developer: Bungie
Publisher: Microsoft Games
That's what I would have said had Microsoft dumped a boatload of free crap on my doorstep, which is just a Garfield doormat with the lettering worn away except for half of the word "lasagna". There's also a fake rock that can store an extra key inside but I haven't gotten around to making a backup key to the backup key I had to use when I lost my keys while going out and buying the game in the first place (yes, this will factor into my review).
Since nobody showered me with riches or a free review copy I'm left with the task of forming my own opinion about a game, a fate worse than death or eating anything from Burger King. I don't really have anything against 7-11 though.
Every review I've read has started by talking about the hype surrounding this much-anticipated title. Because I'm just as uncreative as them, I'll be doing the same. The hype surrounding Halo 3 has been impossible to ignore even if you've been living under a rock, with Osama bin Laden, and he was always hogging the television. Even if you cut out your eyes, well, the Braille Institute is currently sponsored by, you guessed it, Halo 3.
Video games are more mainstream than ever.Like Sony did with the PlayStation, Halo 3 is helping to make video games more mainstream which means a two minute story on The Today Show about this hot new game coming out while showing footage of a bunch of faggots waiting in line for it. Thanks. Now even the lowest form of life on Earth, bored housewives, think we're nerds. If you really want to see video games hit the mainstream, kill all people who currently play video games.
The general consensus is that Halo 3's single player feels more like an episodic installment than a full, robust campaign. There isn't much to it and what's there isn't particularly exciting. Of course, the most common defense to those claims is that the multiplayer is so refined that it more than makes up for the sloppy solo campaign. Besides, multiplayer-only games that don't even afford players the opportunity to shoot at the same stupid aliens in the same corridors with the same reflective shader for roughly six hours aren't punished for it, so why is Halo 3?
If you went to two steakhouses that made similar quality steaks but one included a baked potato free of charge but the baked potato was short, didn't offer anything particularly new over other, more competent potatoes, and had an unsatisfying ending, you would probably prefer the other steakhouse.
But wait, the other steakhouse is themed after the Irish famine and doesn't even have potatoes. So? If you're going to offer potatoes to video game diners in your stupid analogy, it might as well be a good potato or none at all. You still have to look at the potato, which makes you depressed when you think of what that potato could have been like had they had actually put the effort into it and tweaked the A.I. a little bit.
If Halo 3's single player is a moldy old potato, then the multiplayer is the steak. But the steak is from Outback Steakhouse and someone spit on it. It's okay, not great, but mom likes going there and it's close to the house. And if the single player is the potato, and the multiplayer is the steak, Xbox Live must be the spit.
Mass Effect: Andromeda turns its nose up at the original trilogy's rigid morality. It boasts a more nuanced and intellectually compelling shades-of-grey approach in which a heart icon pops up when it's time to tell an alien to take their clothes off.
Please consider updating your plan to include Trickle Down Antibiotics, the Millennial Meltdown, and other new options.
I mean, they're not that bad. "Substandard" vending machines.

Graduation took a significant toll on the Cleburne County girls basketball team. Gone are five players who had been a part of the program for several seasons.
The Tigers return two experienced seniors in post Kaity Zeiders and power forward Toni Epps. Senior Bridget McClain has returned after playing with the junior high team three years ago.
The only junior is Alisa Norton. Norton will be the point guard and got a significant amount of playing time last year in that role.
Sophomores Grace Conkle, Madison Jones and Bailey Norton are first-year varsity players, up from the junior high ranks.
Freshman Shawntavia Boyd, who is the starter at shooting guard, played on the varsity last year as an eighth-grader. Freshman Erykah Ware spent the latter part of last season with the varsity and is the first guard off the bench. Kiara Akles, who will start at forward, and Lauren Brown are also freshmen.
Coach Todd Gable said Wednesday that this year's team is an athletic group and that should help the youthfulness.
The Tigers opened the season Friday of last week in a one-day, four-team tournament at Faith Christian in Anniston.
"We had some real good (practices) right before the tournament. Everything was working good. Everybody knew what they were supposed to be doing," Gable said.
The value of those practices showed immediately as Cleburne County defeated
Pleasant Valley 64-48 in first game to reach the championship game Friday evening. The Tigers led 39-27 at halftime but lost Epps to an ankle injury with about three minutes remaining in the second quarter. Zeiders led the scoring with 21 points and had 10 rebounds. Epps had 12 points and five rebounds, all in the first half.
Norton scored 11 points and added four assists, three steals and three rebounds. Boyd and Akles
each had six points. Akles also had 10 rebounds and Boyd recorded three assists and three steals. Ware had five points and four rebounds. Jones finished with two points and three rebounds. Brown had two assists, one steal, one point and one rebound.
"We executed real well against Pleasant Valley. I was real pleased with that," Gable said. "When we had everybody in there, things were rolling along good. We were running our offense real well. They couldn't stop what we were doing."
In the championship game, White Plains defeated Cleburne County 45-27. Akles had a double-double, 13 points and 14 rebounds, to lead the Tigers. She also made four steals.
Norton had six points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals. Boyd and Zeiders each scored four points. Zeiders also had nine rebounds and two steals while Boyd had two assists.
After trailing 23-13 at halftime, the Tigers got as close as five points during the third quarter but could never take the lead. Epps' absence was significant.
"She makes a difference on both sides, offense and defense," Gable said. "She's a leader out there because this is her third year playing varsity. The girls respond to her."
Alexandria comes to Cleburne County Friday. Gable said practices this week have focused on creating the on-court chemistry the Tigers need with Epps on the sideline for a few games.
"I'm anxious to see Friday how they do after having a few days of practice under their belts because we had to rotate some people around," said Gable.
Ware will start at the shooting guard with Boyd moving to small forward and Akles to power forward.
The Tigers have a very busy week next week. They travel to Weaver Monday then host Harlason County (Ga.) Tuesday. Clay Central comes to Heflin Thursday and Cleburne County hosts White Plains Saturday.

Thank you. StringReplace[CForm[ yourexpression ],"Power"->"Math.pow"] should do what you want. If your expression is huge and the above command is slow you can use any other system that can do efficient string replacements (e.g. perl, sed,...) for the task... An alternative would be to define your own Output Format for Power, but that would probably get more complicated. Hope that helps. Albert

@_CP_ Seriously man! Upload the carvariations.ymt edit as a separate mod. I was looking for this file (editable) for ages until when I was almost about to give up, I found about this from some other site.
This will be a very valuable file when working with first release cars.@GooD-NTS superb work. I mod cars by replacing using custom cars which are mostly addons, so needed to edit a lot here and there. This file made the puzzle complete. Good work.

So useful file, thanks, but don't you have carmodcols and cameras in that format?
14 februari 2017 -
@_CP_ CAn you decode for me the carmodcols?
OR say me what is it for a Tool?9 maart 2017 -
@_CP_ Do you know if there has been any change in the carcols.ymt file in the latest patch at all?
I have a data extractor that I am trying to use to build an accurate picture of modkit IDs that have been assigned to vehicles. In this last carcols.ymt files, the ModKit IDs finished at 86 and they started in the carcols.meta files at 87. I am interested to see if the new additions have added more numbers to carcols.ymt, and how that affects the data in the carcols.meta files.
If you have any info on that, it would be very much appreciated. I have tried using the latest Beta of metatoolkit but it still won't decrypt carcols.ymt

Asus Fonepad Not Powering- up
- hi friends,
I am back here to just tell you about my experience with Asus fonepad,as I said before I gave my pad to the service center, they were clueless coz it's a newcomer, though they accepted coz it's the one and only Asus authorized service center, south India.
I called them often to know the status coz I'm the one who invest the money for this strange gadget..as per they, they ordered the battery and replaced it but after a day the battery drained fully again and the fonepad goes the same stage once more.,then they told me that it's the motherboard that makes this damage, they ordered or what they did I don't know, it's been 17 days, after I got back my fonepad, now it's running normal, charging Normal,
they didn't charge anything, as we know that it's under warranty.. now what I have to do is always keep the charger with me and never allow the battery go below 30% of power,and include fonepad also in our prey...07-22-2013 11:32 AMLike 0 - thanks for this thread. disconnecting the battery for just a few seconds fixed it for me. was in fact 96% charged when restarted. to get the cover off, start top left looking at the back with a very slim penknife blade, then inset credit card and work down levering the cover away. once one side is unclipped it comes off. good luck all!08-03-2013 07:37 AMLike 0
- Hello friends, I have pried open the back case and even been able to lift up the battery pack. But how do I disconnect it? Can't find a way. Please guide.08-12-2013 10:00 PMLike 0
- Dear Ritwick!
After you removed the back case, you see the battery, and 4-5 colored cables coming out of it. You carefully remove the end part from it's place, and the you put it back after a couple of seconds. You will hear a light buzz, then you can put the back case back, and restart the gadget.whoisbhauji likes this.08-15-2013 04:28 PMLike 1 - dear all, ... just to report i have the same problem with my brand new fonepad. Thank you for explanations upon how removing the back case and disconnect/reconnect the battery. However, on my FONEPAD, these operations did not fix it... the FONEPAD never woke up.
This post just to tell the community I COULD RESURRECT IT FINALLY ! i picked 1 thin needles one in one of the two BLACK connector holes (both work the same), and another one in the leftmost RED connector hole. I then gripped to these needles one Lithium _ Ion battery charger and injected into the battery 0.1 amperes during 20 minutes. After this, reconnect battery and .... the FONEPAD wakes-up again
Be careful: the FONEPAD drains current even in idle state, and maybe even when OFF... always keep it in charge.PigRabbit Farmer likes this.08-19-2013 05:07 AMLike 1 -
- Hi,
I wrote in this topic at some time before (27 of June). In this date I sent my Fonepad to Asus Support.
Yesterday, finally, I received a email from Asus telling that I need to wait more 3 weeks.
They gave me 2 options: wait 3 weeks for repair my equipment or ask a replacment equipment with no date to delivery.
Anyone know I can do a formal complain to Asus?
I only used my fonepad 2 weeks (I bought at 10 of June). And Asus want that I wait 3 months (at least) to have my equipment back.
After 3 months waiting, 40 with calls to Asus support line and a lot of headaches, I have a conclusion: Asus NEVER AGAIN. It was my worst experience with client support.08-20-2013 04:38 PMLike 0 - hey quick question which is the battery connector , coz the battery is like stuck more like glued in08-29-2013 02:04 AMLike 0
- I had the same problem. If you have a charger that can deliver high enough current (2Amps should be enough) you can try the following trick; plug in the charger cable, wait until the "battery" symbol disappears (i.e phone goes dead), then take cable out and plug it back in. This needs to be repeated MANY times (I had to do it about 30 times), but finally it got enough juice to start charging (you will see this happening from the screen). Then just leave it charging...
This will not work with all wall chargers... (not quaranteet to work at all, maybe it was just co-insidence in my case)...08-29-2013 11:41 AMLike 0 - Hi, same problem here... Now second time... For me seems to work to plug it to PC USB and let it there some time... Device is repeately starting to charge, but not charging... After while (3 min) i unplug it from PC and connect to ASUS charger... than it start to charge, and after some time i can boot the device... (sry for english...:-)PigRabbit Farmer likes this.09-01-2013 04:09 AMLike 1
- Same problem with my fonepad, didnt want to really take the back off so phoned carphone warehouse who told me i had to phone asus, they arranged a pick up from the uk and sent it to the Czech republic. Received it back 10 days later and its exactly the same, wtf and what a waste of time and money on their part. Phoned them back up and awaiting the return call they are suppose to be making. Not happy!09-06-2013 07:27 AMLike 0
- After a long fight with Asus, after-sales service and marketing teams, I got a Dead on Arrival certificate and got my Fonepad replaced. It worked normally for a month, and again the problem started. The battery came down from 90+% charge to 4% in 8 hours. After this the GSM signal disappeared. No matter what I do, I cannot get the phone function to work. I tried other SIMs in the Fonepad and the same SIM in other phones (where is works well). Restarting, factory reset, nothing helped. It's the same cycle all over again.
I would strongly recommend people to NOT BUY ASUS FONEPAD! It's an unstable device without any proper quality control/testing at the time of manufacturing. I have searched this issue again today and found that many users have reported the same problems. I might just as well go to the Indian Consumer Forum and lodge a complain against the comany.09-07-2013 11:24 PMLike 0 - For those removing and replugging battery connector didn't work; Try this..
1) Check the voltage across the battery. It shows nearly zero volts.(optional)
2) Now we have to charge the battery externally.
i) Remove the battery connector
ii) Cut any USB cable. Mostly you'll have 4 cores(Red, Black, Green and white) inside. Leave the green and white cores. connect the red cores to red terminal of battery and black to black.
iii) Connect the USB to ASUS charger and charge for 5 mins. You can check the voltage across the red and black terminals of battery while charging. It would be about 3V.
3) Now disconnect the charger and check the voltage across the red and black terminals. It will show about 3V.
4) Now connect the battery connector to tablet and connect it to a charger. Now the tablet starts with zero battery icon followed by battery charging indication.
5) Charge the tablet for some time and switch it on.09-09-2013 01:30 PMLike 3 - OK. Had problem with battery. First it was showing -98% full. Then I powered it off. Could not power on again. I used the link that Chhorn Sophak posted to get the idea of what is to be done. Since I'm an experienced computer repair tech this was not a problem for me. I pried the back cover open using a pen to start at the upper right corner when looking at the back of the Phonepad, and a credit card to finish the job off. You just need to pry open the side you start at, and the other side pops open with no force. Then I unplugged the battery power connector, left it unplugged for a minute or so, plugged the connector back and tried to power on the Phonepad while still unassemled, and, voila! It powered on with battery ~65% full. So this worked for me like a charm. Shame it happened though. Seems like a reoccuring problem with Phonepads which is not good publicity for Asus brand.09-16-2013 01:48 PMLike 0
- I too had the battery with a question mark symbol showing.
I followed the advice on the previous page and carefully took the back of the fonepad off and removed the battery for 1 minute.
Once I reattached the battery to the phone it vibrated and powered up normally. Battery was showing at 65%.
It is crazy that the battery is within a sealed unit and not easily reached to remove, the only thing I noticed before this fault occured was that my fonepad was not showing the percentage left on my battery. I turned it off to reboot it when I got the battery with a question mark symbol. I was never in doubt that a simple battery pull would correct it, looks like a common problem, at least I can correct it for now...09-17-2013 04:05 AMLike 0 - I had the same battery drain problem followed by the now famous question mark and not charging. Called Asus support and they arranged to pick up the tablet. It was sent to Asus Czech Republic for repairs. This was two weeks ago. I called to see the status of the repair and they told me that they are waiting for spare parts, as they have to replace the battery and the motherboard. Therefore I am still waiting
So even though a quick fix to the battery issue is to re-connect the battery I would advise you to contact Asus before you're out of the warranty period, as it seems to be also a motherboard issue.
I think Asus should acknowledge the fact that they have a general problem with the Fonepads. I am curious whether the people who did not yet experience this issue will never have this problem or it is just a matter of time. I have used my Fonepad for 4 months before the problem appeared.09-18-2013 04:47 AMLike 0 - ASUS Fonepad - Me too having problem with this device (White Battery charing logo then go green with ? mark). I did what others in this forum says "To remove the back cover, used a credit card. Once got it started at the upper left (looking at the back) I was able to gently work the credit all the way around and remove the cover."
For the record, not the battery. To be exact, It was a black connector with a 6 layers of wires (2 black, 1 yellow, 1 white, 2 red) disconnect a few seconds and reconnect again. It really works for me guys. Thank you all...09-20-2013 03:05 AMLike 0 - For the record, not the battery.

Left it to "charge directly" for about 15min and then put the battery connector back to the socket from where it was unplugged. Tablet vibrated on the insertion of connector (that didnt work on other solutions mentioned in this thread) and asus logo showed up whereafter device booted up and started by showing me 0% on battery and sound beeped, just plugged back with original cable and asus adapter and it started charging.....so far its 12% charged while posting this reply....hope this work for you guys....dont let asus or other services rape u off with replacing motherboard or new batterry. CHEERS and thanks a lot MarcBrussiex!!!09-23-2013 04:16 AMLike 0
- Guys thanks for the hints onn how to revive the Fonepad. My question is whether this has to be done each time the pad will drain completely? And does this solve the battery drain issue also? If not I don't really see the point of doing this procedure because obviously the product is faulty. When mine will be back from service center the first thing I will do will be to drain it completely and see if the question mark / not charging issue will come up again. If yes I will send it back to ASUS for repairs. I don't pay anything it is just them having to pay for all the DHL transfers and service hours.
I don't understand why doesn't everybody do the same. Like this ASUS will realize (in case they haven't already) the magnitude of the problem.09-23-2013 04:54 AMLike 0 - - Using a knife, gently pull the back protector off the tablet.
- Remove the battery from the tablet (Plug it out and just pull the battery out of its place).
- A regular charger - corresponding to a mobile phone (preferably Nokia or needle-shape charger) - Connect to the power supply.
- Make two thin wires
- connect the + tip of tablets battery to the positive tip of charge and the - tip of the tablets battery to the negative tip of the charger. (in needle-shape charger usually the Inside of it is + and outside of it is -).
- Wait about 30 minutes.
- Now place battery into the tablet and use from the tablet charger regularly.10-05-2013 07:35 PMLike 0

Hunter Douglas Makes Substantial Contribution Towards Tsunami Relief
Mar 14, 2005, 00:00 ET from Hunter Douglas Inc.
UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J., March 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunter Douglas Inc., the leading manufacturer and marketer of custom window coverings in North America, announced that it has donated more than $660,000 to AmeriCares Foundation, Inc., for tsunami relief. Hunter Douglas matched all contributions from its employees and independent fabricator partners on a two- for-one basis. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050314/NYM226 ) AmeriCares is one of the most highly rated U.S.-based charitable organizations and one that has pledged to absorb 100 percent of the administrative costs associated with tsunami relief donations. Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Stanford, Conn., AmeriCares has provided more than $3.5 billion of short-term and long-term assistance to more than 137 countries. One hundred percent of the donations to AmeriCares will be used for water purification and medicine / medical equipment for tsunami survivors. Hunter Douglas President and CEO Marv Hopkins presented the check on Friday, March 11 at the company's Upper Saddle River, N.J., headquarters to Elizabeth Furst Frank, an AmeriCares Board Member. "The tsunami that struck southern Asia resulted in a human catastrophe of unprecedented proportions," said Hopkins. "In response to the special needs of those peoples most directly affected, I'm honored to present this donation to AmeriCares on behalf of all Hunter Douglas employees throughout North America, our independent fabricator partners and our retail customers. I am deeply touched and most grateful to each and everyone who contributed to this vital effort. Our results evidence the extraordinary compassion, decency and generosity of our employees and our customers, as we received contributions from more than 2,000 individuals." "With its donation, Hunter Douglas is helping the people of southern Asia, who have suffered tremendous loss of family, friends, neighbors and property, rebuild their lives. The situation is getting better, but there is much, much more work to be done," said Elizabeth Furst Frank for AmeriCares. Hunter Douglas Inc. has more than 7,000 employees in 30 facilities in the U.S. and Canada. There are 16 independently owned fabrication companies that also employ 3,000 people in locations around the country. Headquartered in Upper Saddle River, N.J., Hunter Douglas Inc. is a national sponsor of Habitat for Humanity, covering windows in every Habitat home built in the U.S. and Canada.

This is my last day working at Menaul for now. I will be leaving at lunch time and I am sad about leaving and ending my life here. I loved my time here and had a great experience. I have enjoyed working with everyone here. You have made my experience very enjoyable. I did not know what it would be like to volunteer here, but it was better than I imagined. I loved the community atmosphere in the school and at Teachers Hall with the other volunteers. And I did not realize that Albuquerque and New Mexico have so much culture and beauty and history. I loved all of it. I will be back. I just don't know when. I just retired at the end of December and I came right out here. So now I will be going home to find out what it means to be retired. I have lots of ideas about things to do and I will enjoy spending time with my family. I want to thank each one of you for everything you did to make my stay so enjoyable. I will miss all your smiles and all the friendly faces. And thank you for the lovely going away party. You are all very special.
