When -the work is done, . the village will, pay one-third of the cost of acquiring neces-sary property, while the county will pay two-thirds and also the cost of the improvement. Finally there is to be a hearing on the proposed widening and ex-tension of Smith st., from a point just west of Ocean ave., through Lee pi., and St. Johns pi., to con-, nect up with East Merrick rd. to link up, with a widened Henry st. The purpose of this improvement is to provide access co the busi-ness area, parking fields and con-venience to traffic going east by reducing the traffic on Merrick rd. "~It is'planned to widen Smith st., to 60 feet by adding five feet to each side of the road, except for the block through the business area from Church st., to North Main, where it is proposed to add five feet to the north and 10 to south to make it a 70-foot street. The tip of the property at the southeast corner of - Bedell and Main sts., would be rounded off, and the street extended through Hanse Park to Lee pi., ^vhich would b- widened five feet on each side, then through some private property to link up with St. Johns pi., and then with Merrick rd. To reduce the cost of acquiring prop-erty at the Merrick rd. connec-tion, where there are several con-crete buildings, the dedication map provides for taking as little of "this Co.'.:mittee cf the F'reeport Cham-ber of Commerce.

Adapted from The New Jewish Table by Ellen Kassoff Gray and Todd Gray
Todd: Roasting really rounds out the natural sweetness of eggplant, whose seeds have a caviar-like appearance and texture, in my opinion. This purée with roasted garlic and lemon juice is like baba ghanouj, but without the tahini. It's just so simple and fresh—a perfect spring starter.
3 medium eggplants2 tablespoons olive oil (use a good quality to mix into the caviar)3 garlic cloves, roasted or fresh and not peeled1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice1 teaspoon ground cumin1/2 teaspoon salt1⁄8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepperPita breadsGround smoked paprika for dusting pitas
Roast the eggplants. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pierce each eggplant in several places (use a fork or skewer) and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle the eggplants with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Roast until the skins are blistered and the flesh is soft—about 60 minutes. (If your garlic is not already roasted, add it to the oven during the last 20 minutes of baking time.) Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the eggplants cool for 20 minutes. Keep the oven on.
Make the dip. Cut the eggplants in half and scoop out the flesh from the skins. Transfer to the container of a food processor fitted with a blade and process until smooth. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the garlic, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper and pulse to combine.
Makes about 4 cups dip
Make pita chips. Cut the pitas into wedges. Arrange on a baking sheet and place in the oven until lightly toasted, golden, and crispy—15 to 20 minutes. Lightly sprinkle the pitas with the smoked paprika.

It was a car that could do over 220 miles an hour on the back stretch at Daytona, then drift through the high-banked turns like a World of Outlaws car, fully under control. The "Spirit of Sebring" Corvettes built by John Greenwood in the mid-'70s represented a high water mark in the design and construction of road-racing Corvettes. These were the last cars that he built using the production C3 Corvette frame; his later cars were full-tube-chassis ones.
It was, in Greenwood's words, the wildest production-based road racer to date, much less the wildest production-based one ever. "Without a doubt, the #75 car was, for me, the most fun, biggest rush, and biggest reward for doing all that kind of stuff, of any car that we ever did," Greenwood says from his Apopka, Florida Corvette store, Greenwood Corvettes. "That was THE car...that car was a bad boy!"
Back in the spring of 1975, we saw the #75 "Spirit of Sebring" Vette in action at Laguna Seca, in an IMSA Camel GT Challenge race. As Greenwood recalls, that race was as much a test/research-and-development session as it was a competition against the factory Porsches and BMWs in the field. "We didn't do well there," he says. "There was a learning curve with the car." Once he took the fast line on that curve, Greenwood wound up with a car that ran up front in both IMSA Camel GT and Trans Am-and scored three wins in Trans Am, leading to that series' 1975 championship.
Greenwood's foray into road racing followed a successful career street-racing W-engined Chevys (Impalas and Corvettes) on Woodward Avenue outside Detroit. Turning to road racing in the late '60s, after initial success at the club level starting at Waterford Hills, Greenwood took his Corvette racing operation nationwide, winning two consecutive Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) A/Production National Championships in 1970-71.
A sponsorship deal with BFGoodrich in '72 resulted in his first highly-modified Vette racers, called the "swing-arm cars" by Greenwood, which he ran in IMSA's Camel GT Challenge and SCCA's Trans-Am Series in 1972 and '73 (scoring three Trans-Am wins in '73) wearing ZL1 flares over their shaved BFG Radial T/As. His next race cars after the swing-arm cars, were to be progressions, while still wearing BFG's regular-production tires.
Troubles with Goodrich's production-derived tires--when they switched from 60-series to 50-series ones to race on in '73--led to on-track problems, and the BFG program ended after that season. But that didn't stop Greenwood from getting design, fabrication and technical help for his next C3 race cars.
It started at a test session on the big oval at central Ohio's Transportation Research Center (TRC). "At the time, I was getting more and more associated with Zora Arkus-Duntov," Greenwood recalls. "He and I sat down and talked, and I said, 'I want to build the most highly-modified platform car.'" Nothing brought out the best in Zora like a challenge-especially one involving Corvettes, as Greenwood witnessed. "As I'm sitting there talking to Zora, we're sitting on a curb and I'm telling him what I'm doing, and he's talking about the body work, and he wanted to make this wide body with the fender flares angling up. He just kept going with his hands, and explains to me how he wanted to make the fenders and bodywork on the car." And, so was born the concept of using wider bodywork to create downforce.
Greenwood's new racing Corvette turned out to have as much state-of-the-art Chevy and GM help as a privateer could dream of back then, as GM's corporate racing ban didn't end for another decade. "We came up with a deal where they ended up designing the body that was on the car at GM, at Chevrolet's Advanced Styling studio," says Greenwood, who also notes the contribution that future-GM Styling boss Jerry Palmer (and its then-current chief, Bill Mitchell) made at the time, as well as Randy Wittine's. "They made some temporary 'tools' (body tooling), and gave me the first tools. We made a deal where we would go ahead and produce the parts, for any Corvette person who wanted to use them. The parts ended up being homologated for FIA, so we could run them at LeMans (or in any other FIA-sanctioned races). [Zora] ended up having the clay model done, and they made the parts." Also, those wide-body parts got GM factory part numbers, and were listed in the Chevrolet Power service manual (along with stuff like LS7 crate engines and bare ZL1 blocks) for Chevy racers that was released in the mid-'70s.

Sonnen - MW champ in 2-3 fights.
A tiger never loses sleep over the opinion of sheep.
Congrats to Weidman! He may be my new favorite fighter! I've been wanting for Anderson to get KTFO while doing that dancing/taunting crap for a long time and it finally happened. I don't like Anderson but I think he's one of the best fighters of all time. If he would have beat Jones or even won against a few more tough opponents I'd probably have ended up putting him ahead of Fedor but for me I have it at 1. Fedor, 2. GSP, 3. Silva. I just think GSP has fought tougher competition and both him and Silva have been untouchable for basically the same amount of time. As with Fedor he hadn't had a true loss basically ever until he lost to Werdum and he wasn't the same. Despite Fedor finishing like 2-3 or so, he has less losses than Silva.
Brown Pride
Here comes the Chris Weidman threads
That's quite different from tonight right?
So there's your answer. Different circumstances. Different answers. I don't remember Dana complaining after the Griffin fight. I don't remember him complaining after the Okami fight. Nor do I remember him complaining after the Bonnar fight. Other about Bonnar of course.
Am I missing something? Or do you just have your heart set on labeling Dana a hypocrite?
"I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road."
- Stephen Hawking
Dana wants a rematch more then Silva
Every single thing that Dana is saying, defending Anderson Silva's legacy, are the exact things he used to dismiss Fedor.
"To be truly walking on the warrior's path, we have to bring our minds back to the time when we were not ashamed of our dreams; when reality had not yet frustrated our ambitions; when our desire was still too strong to be repressed, and our spirit refused to surrender in resignation; when we were not yet doctors, businessmen, or lawyers, but still wanted to be heroes, leaders, bodhisattvas. The first step on the way to being warriors is to get back in touch with our dreams."

Gas flares from a well in the Bradford County countryside. "Flaring" is a term used to describe the burning of natural gas from a well that has not yet been linked to a pipeline. When a well is flared, a huge flame lights up the sky, reaching higher than tree tops, accompanied by a noise similar to a 757 jet engine.

And, like, super teenage styles. Kristen Stewart took a call from Rupert Sanders while she was in her car. Full Story

We've all heard stories about how people saved their lives by drinking their urine. Is drinking urine safe when there are no other water sources available? Can I filter it with a water purifier?
Assuming you don't have a genitourinary tract infection, fresh urine should be sterile, the problem is that it is a waste product which, apart from making it not taste very nice, means that consuming it will increase the concentration of waste in your body which will require an increased volume of water to absorb and subsequently excrete, resulting in you being more dehydrated. You could distil urine using a solar still to overcome this problem, such as this method, however, I wouldn't expect a filter (at least those designed for outdoor activities) to remove the salts and other waste compounds found in urine.
I've also heard of using urine to moisten your lips to lessen the symptoms of dehydration.
Copy and paste from the answer here: http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/1540/is-it-a-good-idea-to-drink-your-own-urine-in-a-survival-situation
Summary: You can do it, as a last resort, but it's dicey.
The US Army doesn't think it's a good idea and lists it on its "Do NOT drink" list, stating in its Field Manual that it "contains harmful body wastes" and that it is "about 2 percent salt." Several other resources seem to agree, all indicating that it will increase your rate of dehydration. (Warning: the popular science link is not fun to open.)
If it's your only source of water, it's likely that the US Army's recommendations of how to purify polluted water for consumption also applies to urine:
Other sources, which support my memory on the matter, indicate that it is at best a short term solution. For example, in a Slate article named The Yellow Liquid Diet, the author says that the waste might eventually "cause symptoms similar to those brought on by total kidney failure":
However, drinking urine for survival has been attempted successfully before.
For example, in 2008, a Chinese man by the name of Shen Peiyun survived six days by lying still and drinking his own urine, which is solid evidence that it won't kill you at least some of the time. While it is not necessarily fatal, it doesn't mean it isn't harmful. For instance, in the case above, no expert has asserted that he would have died without drinking his own urine.
Urine is normally sterile (barring urinary tract infections) - so, from bacteriological stance, fresh urine isn't going to hurt.
The problem is - urine is a waste product, and so is full of stuff that your body wants to be rid of. Worse, as you get more dehydrated, your body produces more concentrated urine. That said - as a short term measure to keep hydrated, it can be drunk.
I remember my military survival training - we were instructed how to make a filter using a sock filled with dirt. It isn't the most efficient filter, and probably tastes pretty awful. If you have a ceramic filter, that might be better, but I'd imagine there's still be a flavour.

Well, I don't have a ton of web design experience, but in the past when I've dealt with this, I've made valid arguments as to why their ideas were bad. Are there reasons that their designs wouldn't be functional or would drive down usability? Would the changes greatly delay a much needed website launch? I would make these arguments if valid and go from there. You might win, or you might meet in the middle somewhere. And it depends as well what their responsibility is as it pertains to the website. Are they supposed to have some say in the redesign?

Explain the costs out to them and how much you are going to charge them at the moment. If they want the whole thing re-doing then they will have to pay for it. Your time is not free.
You need to remind them that they've hired you as the professional. The problem you're having is you're not exerting your professional stand point over them.
Be polite but be firm. This will happen a lot.
you should also be using scheduled payments for each stage of the design. They have to sign off on each stage so any changes of design are billable (which they would be any way). Work per hour as well, not per job.
Posted 25 April 2013 - 18:56
If you've been paid up to this point, then you are good, and just continue to charge for work done.... At this point if so, I would assume you have an option, continue to work with them or fire the customer.
If you haven't been paid and they think they can just change the design around at no cost.. then you've got some issues.
Posted 25 April 2013 - 18:57
These posts hit the nail on the head. Do NOT let a new party dictate scope-creep without making a stand. Put these new requirements in terms of hours and money that will be added to the budget. It's hard to argue with that. If you have competent management, that will be the end of it.
Posted 25 April 2013 - 19:34
It sounds like you need to sit down with her and both discuss how you think the website should be, and the best way to progress.
I created our companies website and was generally left to it when I started, I would gradually get feedback as it progressed. Some of the feedback was useful, some of the suggested changes I didn't agree with at all. You need to compromise and discuss why you don't agree with something, or why you think doing something a different way is better than what is been suggested to you and justify doing it your way.
I personally feel our companies website has benefited from different perspectives.
Posted 25 April 2013 - 19:49
Make them clearly approve the design. In the contract clearly specify that any change to the design will cost money.
My first professional web site design something like 10 years ago (Fire fox 1.6 just had been released) went excatly like this.
Did a design in Photoshop. Client (boss of the company) loved it A LOT. He was very positive about it. Coded the web site. Then when we were 2 weeks from publishing it the stupid marketing woman of the cie started to ask for "simple" changes. It took close to 1 month to get to where this stupid marketing woman wanted the web site to be (totally different than my design). I hated her and it was one of the worst working exp ever.
It's easier now that i have more exp (close to 10 years) people listen to me more and my designs are also better.
Posted 25 April 2013 - 19:52
LOL that was funny
LOL That link was hilarious.
When I was redesigning our website (The previous {horendous} site was done by someone else a few years prior who was still clutching his FoxPro), I had it almost completely finished. I just needed copy for some of the pages. In a meeting, someone in production (Not Marketing, or with any say whatsoever) turns to me and says "I have a good idea for the website. Doors. The page should be full of doors and each door will take you to a different page."... What do you even say? Not only that, but he was able to get everyone else on board with this moronic idea... Doors. What am I supposed to do with that??
Luckily, I was able to explain to everyone just how bad that would be and get everyone on board with my design again (Not that I wasn't already ignoring him anyway. lol).

It has a hairy exterior, similar to the urticating hairs that cover a tarantula's abdomen and serve as defense mechanisms against predators. The spider's eight legs move independently and the eyes light up, allowing you to frighten unsuspecting arachnophobes day or night. Remote requires two AA batteries and tarantula requires two AAA batteries. Indoor use only. Ages 6 and up. 1" H x 6" L. (12 oz.)

Delivers, but somewhat disappointing
By cmp
from Franklin, KY
Not a bad little toy, but I didn't realize that instead of the legs moving the spider, there are two small wheels on the bottom that do so. This is why you can't use it on carpet or uneven surfaces.I did expect the legs to move more. They don't really much imitate a real spider, and they just sort of "wave" a little bit, and not all of them move the same amount. The remote control doesn't have much more than about a 3 or 4 foot range. Basically, the product delivered what it promised, but not a bit more.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

from Fortson, GA
This isn't what we expected at all. Yes, it has a realistic hairy body, but it is as big as a dessert plate. Like "an actual moving arachnid", you would think the legs would move, but they don't. The remote contol has to be so close to it, that you could scare someone, even if you did find someone guillible enough to scare with this.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: At Hammacher Schlemmer, our goal is for you to be delighted with our products and our service. However, it is clear that this item fell far short of your expectations and for this you have our sincere apologies. Please remember that we back our merchandise with a lifetime guarantee.

Spider does not work!
By Never again
from Greenville, IN
The spider is larger than expected. The "eyes" light up but otherwise nothing worked. The legs moved a little but in only moved about an inch then stopped. The motor was loud and way too noisey. I replaced the batteries twice, moved it to smoother surfaces, made sure there was not radio signal noise - nothing worked. The color is solid black an looks nothing like a tarantula. It is junk and I will be sending it back!
Great toy for cats!!
By Alexis
from Houston, Texas
This toy is a great exercise tool for our 3 lazy, old cats. Every time I get it out, they anxiously await the "attack spider". Its only problem is getting stuck in rug fringe. Can't use it on carpet, etc. But, hey, it's a toy. Not a serious tool. Use and enjoy it. Love the red glowing eyes!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
By Kobiwon
from Denver
I wanted this to scare some people for a practical joke. Spider looks really fake and makes a loud noise when moving, which it does very slowly. You have to stand to close to it for the remote to work, therefor it won't scare anyone.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: At Hammacher Schlemmer, our goal is your complete satisfaction. Our reputation for quality and service has been earned over generations of satisfied customers. Since 1848, we have held our product offerings and customer service to the highest standards - as should you.

If you are ever disappointed with a product - for any reason - we request that you return it to us.

Remote Controlled Tarantula-Good Choice
By Ladybug Granny
from San Antonio, TX
I purchased the remote controlled tarantula for my grandpets. Ramero, the Siamese cat, and Camden, the delightful dog were both fascinated with the gift. I was pleased at the life-like appearance of the toy. It made Christmas morning very entertaining for all in the home.

Web of Tax Shelters Saved Apple Billions, Inquiry Finds 716 716
Posted by Unknown Lamer

from the where-else-would-you-put-it dept.
mspohr writes with news that Apple might be in a bit of hot water over its policy of offshoring revenues to favorable tax jurisdictions. Only they take it a step further, from the article: "Apple relied on a 'complex web of offshore entities' and U.S. tax loopholes to avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. taxes on $44 billion in offshore income over the past four years ... The maker of iPhones and iPads used at least three foreign subsidiaries that it claims are not 'tax resident in any nation' to help it avoid paying billions in 'otherwise taxable offshore income,' the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in a statement yesterday."

Most of us only think about teeth when something's wrong with them — when they come in crooked, break, or begin to rot. But take a minute to consider your teeth as the extraordinary feat of engineering they are. They concentrate and transmit the forces needed to break food, again and again, up to millions of times over a lifetime. And they do it without themselves being broken in the process — with the very same raw materials used to make the plants and animals being eaten.
Chewing is like a perpetual death match in the mouth, with plants and animals developing tough or hard tissues for protection, and teeth evolving ways to sharpen or strengthen themselves to overcome those defenses. Most living things don't want to be eaten. They often protect themselves by reinforcing their parts to stop eaters from breaking them into small enough bits to swallow or digest. It could be a hard shell to keep a crack from starting, or tough fibers to keep one from spreading. Either way, the eater still has to eat. And that's where teeth come in. The variety of tooth types, especially across the mammals, is extraordinary. It's a testament to what evolution can accomplish given time, motive, and opportunity.
Lots of animals have "teeth"; sea urchins, spiders, and slugs all have hardened tissues used for food acquisition and processing. But real teeth, like yours and mine, are special. They first appeared half a billion years ago, and Nature has spent the whole time since tinkering with ways to make them better. It's a story written in stone – the fossil record. We see the appearance of a hard, protective coating of enamel, better ways of attaching tooth to jaw, differentiation of front and back teeth, tighter fit between opposing surfaces, and a new joint for precise movements of the jaw.
The motive is endothermy; we mammals heat our bodies from within. And chewing allows us to squeeze the energy we need to fuel our furnaces. The opportunity is evolvability; very slight genetic tweaks can have dramatic effects on tooth form and function. Consider the incredible variety of different tooth types in mammals, matched so well to the foods individual species eat. A lion has sharp-crested chewing teeth, with blades opposing one another like a pair of scissors, for slicing flesh. A cow has broad, flat ones broken by thin, curved ridges, like a cheese grater, for milling grass. You and I have thick molars with rounded cusps that fit neatly into opposing basins, like a mortar and pestle, for crushing and grinding whatever it is we eat.
There can be little doubt that the diversity, abundance, and success of mammals, including us, are due, in no small measure, to our teeth. Look in a mirror, smile, and think about it.

English Programs
The English major is a 37 credit-hour program that provides a general grounding in the disciplines of English. This curriculum is based upon a guideline approach and aims to develop in students informed habits of thought, research, discussion and writing. It emphasizes both the knowledge and skills that will prepare students for post-baccalaureate study or for career opportunities.
The English education major is a 46 credit-hour program designed for students who wish to become English Language Arts teachers in Illinois middle and secondary schools. As well as providing a strong foundation in the disciplines of English, this major focuses on the preparation of teachers according to NCATE/NCTE and Illinois Content Area Standards for Educators. Students who seek Illinois secondary certification through the English education major must also apply for admission to the School of Education's secondary education minor program and complete the courses required for that minor as well as the state certification requirements.
English minors can include a concentration in some aspect of English studies, such as literary genres, American or British literature, a historical approach to literature, multicultural literature, cultural studies or language.
The purpose of the writing minor is to offer Saint Xavier University students additional opportunities to develop and demonstrate advanced skills in written communication. Students will find courses in business and professional writing, as well as courses in creative and academic writing. A total of 18 credit-hours is required to complete the minor program.

Since its completion in 1945, Sergei Prokofiev's "Cinderella" suite has been performed hundreds of times across the globe, but rarely has it involved such cute grasshoppers.
This weekend, the Hampton Ballet Theatre School (HBTS) will revitalize the classic ballet, one of the famed Russian composer's most celebrated compositions, in four performances at Guild Hall's John Drew Theater. About 70 dancers, from bright-eyed four-year-olds to seasoned adult professionals, will grace the stage in the lively and melodious spring ballet.
In its eighth year of bringing dance to the East End, HBTS is returning to "Cinderella," last presented by the company in 2011, with a few new twists.
The original dancers have grown up and the choreography has evolved with them; this weekend will mark the first time many of the company's ballerinas perform en pointe throughout the entire ballet. When en pointe, a female ballet dancer supports all of her body weight with the tips of her fully extended vertical feet. The dancer must train and practice for years to develop the strength and technique required to do so.
"My goal for this ballet," said Sara Jo Strickland, executive director and choreographer of HBTS, "was to really develop the older dancers at the core of the ballet and they've really done their job. I'm really proud of them."
Known for its jubilant music and lush scenery, "Cinderella" is one of the most celebrated compositions of Mr. Prokofiev, a Russian composer, pianist and conductor and one of the major composers of the 20th century. Written upon his return home after a long absence following the Russian Revolution, the ballet was first staged in 1940, set aside during the height of World War II, and completed in 1945, premiering at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.
"The older dancers all had very important roles and they all worked so hard," Ms. Strickland said Sunday during a short lull in rehearsal time. "They really pulled the level of the dancing from our Nutcracker up by two or three steps."
A student of Ms. Strickland's since she was just two, 15-year-old Rose Kelly will dance the lead role of Cinderella.
"It's one of my first dancers to do something so big, so I'm very excited," Ms. Strickland said.
Rose will perform two distinct characterizations of Cinderella: the ragged, abused servant girl worrying her way across the stage and the beautiful vision of grace yearned for by the prince.
Partnering for the first time—a major accomplishment for a ballet dancer of any age—Rose is dancing with guest artist Nick Peregrino, a professional dancer with Ballet Fleming in Philadelphia.
"This is a huge challenge for her," said Ms. Strickland. "It's a big step for her at this age in her career…She far exceeded my expectations, she just worked so hard to learn all these new things."
Other veteran HBTS dancers performing en pointe include Abigail Hubbell, who will play the iconic Fairy Godmother, and her twin sister Caitlin, the Spring Fairy. The seasons are a pivotal part of Prokofiev's adaptation and their corresponding fairies are all accomplished roles.
Winter fairies include Falon Attias, Grace Dreher and Vincenzo James Harty. Vincenzo, a young man who has been dancing with Ms. Strickland, Rose, Caitlin and Abigail for years, will also play the comical role of Jester along with the Hubbell sisters.
Falon, Jade Diskin, Grace, Rachel Grindle, Jillian Hear and Samantha Prince will dance as Summer Fairies and Kelsey Casey, Devon Friedman, Hudson Galardi-Troy, Katie Nordlinger and Emma Silvera are Fall Fairies.
The antics of Prunella and Esmerelda, the evil stepsisters played by Beatrice de Groot and Maggie Ryan, provide some comical—albeit evil—relief.
HBTS' production features roles Prokofiev added to the traditional fairy tale, such as the grasshoppers and dragonflies, or the "little creatures of the forest," as Ms. Strickland calls the group of four and five-year-olds who scurry across the stage.
Guest artists Adam and Gail Baranello, teachers at HBTS who also own A&G Dance Company, will play Cinderella's father and evil stepmother.
During the second act, the royal ball where Cinderella first catches the prince's eye, the ballet evolves from the comic first act into a romantic presentation, said Ms. Strickland.
"I think people will be very excited and surprised because if you have followed us for a long time and watched the girls grow up, you're really going to see the difference in this production," Ms. Strickland said.
The Hampton Ballet Theatre School's production of "Cinderella" is Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 1 and 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. in the John Drew Theater at Guild Hall, 158 Main Street in East Hampton. Advanced tickets are $20 for children under 12 and $25 for adults. Tickets on the performance days are $25 for children under 12 and $30 for adults. To reserve tickets, call 888-933-4287 or visit hamptonballettheatreschool.com. For more information, call 237-4810 or email email@example.com.

Trumbull News Detail
Quartet of psychology students present research findingsPosted Apr. 24, 2013
A quartet of Kent State University at Trumbull students recently presented research at the Psychology Department's Undergraduate Research Day held on the Kent Campus.
Morgan Fee (sophomore), Greg Perry (junior), Randi Hidasey (senior) and Ember Knapp (senior) each worked as research assistants alongside Kent State Trumbull's Patricia Tomich, PhD, assistant professor of psychology, to collect data and conduct analyses for The Health Awareness Project, which examines the adjustment of persons to medical diagnoses in an experimental situation.
Data collection for the study is ongoing, with findings to be shared as soon as they become available.
In addition, Fee received a $500 KSU Undergraduate Research Scholars Program award to extend the research in a new direction and will be presenting her findings at Kent State University at Stark's annual Student Conference on April 26.

The folks at Edelbrock have been busy refining their Total Power Package systems, making them hassle-free for anyone who wants a tested and proven engine combination. Edelbrock has taken all of the guesswork out of choosing the right parts by including all of the top-end pieces for your application and dyno-testing to ensure excellent power while retaining lots of drivability. This system offers two choices depending on engine operating rpm. There is the Performer Package (1,000-5,500 rpm) and the Performer RPM Package (1,500-6,500 rpm). For even more extended power at high engine speeds, the Performer RPM Package now offers a hydraulic-roller camshaft.
We wanted to see how much power could be had with one these systems, especially since we were planning to use a shorter-stroke 327 engine, to reduce the parasitic loss of a larger 350 or 383, for our test. Given that we have plans to install the engine in a manual-transmission car with performance gears, we chose the Performer RPM Package and the Performer RPM hydraulic-roller camshaft. Of course we couldn't leave well enough alone and opted to spray a small 100hp nitrous shot from the Edelbrock Performer RPM nitrous line.
But before we could bolt any of these parts to our 327, it was in dire need of a rebuild. This particular 327 was pulled out of a Chevy pickup several years ago, only to be stored indoors. To say it was greasy is a total understatement, so we began our quest at Larry's Performance in Montebello, California, where we stripped the block down, hot-tanked it clean, and checked it for cracks and any needed machining. The cleaning and inspection process showed the block was in good condition with no cracks and only needed boring (0.030 inch over) and resurfacing of the deck. The new bore size increased the engine's displacement to 332 ci. The crankshaft passed inspection and only needed 0.010 inch ground from the main and rod journals. After a day of machining at Larry's Performance, the crew assembled the engine with new Speed-Pro forged pistons, Scat connecting rods, and Clevite bearings, and installed the Edelbrock hydraulic-roller cam. We then installed a new Milodon pan and timing cover and attached the Edelbrock heads with a set of Milodon head bolts. Up top we added a set of Comp Pro magnum 1.52:1 roller rockers and a Performer RPM Air Gap intake and Edelbrock Performer 800-cfm carburetor. With the engine assembled with new parts, we headed across town to the Edelbrock dyno to measure the results.

What are you getting yourself into?
Ask the right questions so there are no surprises once you start remodeling kitchen
I've lost count of how many kitchen questions I've answered in my years of designing. Whether in a home center, showroom, home show or their own house, the questions homeowners have are strikingly similar. I thought it might help you to see the answers I give to these frequently asked questions (FAQs).
Q: Where do I start?
A: The answer to this one is really simple: Start with what's staying in the space. Whether it's the tile flooring that runs through your entire first floor or a Hoosier cabinet that's been in your family for generations, this holdover becomes the first building block and must-match element for your new kitchen. Cabinet A looks great with the heirloom; Countertop B's creamy gold is echoed in the existing floors. Next selection ...
Q: How much should I spend?
A: This is one of the most important questions to ask early on, and one of the hardest to answer. There isn't one magic formula that works everywhere. There are Sensible Style principles, though: Invest proportionately to your home's enduring value, and in keeping with prevailing neighborhood standards.
On proportionality, understand that a $100,000 kitchen won't turn a $200,000 condo into a $300,000 condo. On the opposite end, a $25,000 kitchen won't sell a $2.5 million home either.
With regard to neighborhood standards, if all of the new or remodeled kitchens in your area have builder-grade appliances, integrated built-ins aren't going to return as much value for you. The opposite applies, too, if you go down-market in an upscale neighborhood.
One question I'm often asked lately is, can I get a better deal on my kitchen now that we're in a recession? Yes and no. You can certainly take advantage of more specials on big-ticket items like appliances. But you will not get lower rates from top professionals. What you will get is better availability; many are willing to work on smaller-scale projects now than in busier times and that's good news for the smooth running of your project.
Q: Whom do I call?
A: The answer depends on the scope of your project. If you're planning a home addition, I suggest starting with an architect. He or she will ensure that the addition meshes with the existing house, and will often bring in a design specialist for the kitchen.
If you're simply remodeling an existing kitchen, my recommendation is to consult with a designer who specializes in them. This pro can bring in qualified contractors and trades.
Q: Should I replace or reface my cabinets?
A: There are some key questions to ask yourself to determine the best answer for your kitchen. First, are your cabinets in good condition? Second, do you love the countertops sitting on them? Third, does the kitchen's layout generally work well for you? Fourth, are you locked into the current footprint by flooring or budget? If your answer to these questions is yes, you're an excellent candidate for refacing.
What will you save by not replacing them? If you're opting for an elaborate door style, a high-end finish, lots of accessories and decorative detail, just a little. These are the extras that send remodelers' kids to college. You will save lots of inconvenience and some labor costs, though.

• Dennis Daniels Jr., Republican, District 3 supervisor.
• Allen Morgan, Republican, tax assessor-collector.
• Monica Banks, Democrat, chancery clerk (I).
• Curtis D. Randle, Democrat, constable, District 2 (I).
Prospective candidates interested in running in one of the races on the Oktibbeha County ballot can pick up or fill out the necessary qualifying documents at the Circuit Clerk's Office at the Courthouse Annex, which is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday.
The primary election is scheduled for Aug. 2, while the general election is Nov. 8.
Though new district lines for county district offices will also be drawn this year, the process will likely not be complete by the March 1 qualifying deadline, said Circuit Clerk Angie McGinnis on Tuesday.
After consulting the Attorney General's Office on Tuesday, McGinnis said candidates for county supervisor, Justice Court judge or constable may qualify under the current district lines.
Once the new districts are complete and approved by the necessary federal agencies, any candidate who finds himself or herself in a different district than the one in which he or she originally qualified will automatically see his or her candidacy shifted into the new district, McGinnis learned from the Attorney General's Office.
"The qualifying paperwork would be changed administratively to reflect a district changes," McGinnis said.
All candidates for state or county office must:
• Be a registered voter in the state and the district, county or county district of the office for which they are running.
• Never have been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment (unless having received a full pardon).
• Never have been convicted of a felony in a federal court or a felony in the court of another state as outlined in Section 44 of the Mississippi Constitution.
Countywide or county district office candidates seeking political party nomination must file a statement of intent and pay either a $10 or $15 fee (according to office) to the appropriate party executive committee via the Circuit Clerk's Office.
Countywide candidates running as independents must submit petitions containing signatures of 50 registered voters to the Circuit Clerk's Office.
Candidates for state district or statewide offices must qualify with the appropriate state political party office in Jackson or, if an independent candidate, with the Secretary of State's Office in Jackson.
In addition to the Circuit Clerk's Office, copies of the various statements of intent for all candidates and petition forms for independent candidates may also be downloaded from the Secretary of State's Office website at http://www.sos.ms.gov [3] by clicking under the link marked "Elections."
For additional information, contact the Circuit Clerk's Office at 323-1356 during regular business hours or visit the Secretary of State's Office website at the address listed above.

Springfield town clerk to step downBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | December 04,2013
Photo by Len Emery Meredith KellySPRINGFIELD Meredith Dexter Kelley, the town clerk and treasurer, has resigned effective two days before Christmas.
Kelley, who has been town clerk for 5½ years, gave no reason for her resignation, which the Springfield Select Board, meeting late Tuesday afternoon in emergency session, accepted with regret.
Kelley didnt attend the meeting and couldnt be reached afterward.
Kelley, a Springfield native and a lawyer, was appointed by the Select Board in 2008 to succeed former longtime town clerk Bonnie Greer Reynolds.
She said in her letter that she was proud of her work and thanked Town Manager Robert Forguites and Board Chairman Kristi Morris.
I thank you for the guidance and support that you have provided to me during my term as clerk and treasurer, she wrote in her letter of resignation. I wish you all the best as you continue to lead the town.
Kelley added, I leave feeling satisfied that I have made improvements both in the town clerks office as well as in my roles as treasurer and delinquent tax collector. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served the town in this capacity and honored to have served its residents for five-and-a-half years.
After accepting her resignation, with all board members appearing disappointed with her departure, the board met behind closed doors and later voted to appoint Assistant Town Clerk Barbara Courchesne interim town clerk and treasurer. The post also includes the job of delinquent tax collector.
Under the Town Charter, the Select Board appoints the town clerk, and the appointment is ratified at the next town meeting. Courchesne, who has worked for the town clerks office for six years, will be up for ratification in March.
Kelley, who submitted her letter of resignation the day before Thanksgiving and gave the required four weeks notice, said her last working day will be Dec. 23.
I will ensure that all my current projects are completed and aid in the transition if asked to do so, she wrote.
Kelley has two assistant town clerks, Courchesne and Mary Perkins.
Kelley was paid $65,000 as town clerk and treasurer after five years on the job; the starting salary will be $53,500, Forguites said.
Forguites left the meeting to call Courchesne to inform her of the boards decision. He said Courchesne was aware of Kelleys decision and was interested in the job. He said that he and Courchesne would discuss the job Wednesday.
After the special meeting, Morris said he didnt know why Kelley had resigned.
Im not sure exactly, he said. She will be missed.
Selectman David Yesman made the motion to accept the resignation reluctantly.
I think shes done a good job for five years, Yesman said. Im sorry to see her go. She told me that it was time for her to move on.
Selectman Michael Knoras, who recently had a public disagreement with Kelley over a proposed change in town meeting petitions, said he accepted the resignation with regret.
Selectwoman Stephanie Gibson Thompson said that Kelley had done a terrific job ... and shes a wonderful person.
I think we all feel the same way, said Morris.

I would first disconnect both power leads to heater after you make sure power is off to spa. Then run all pumps and other components to see if breaker trips. It could be the heater coming on in standard mode and it may have a short in it.

Hi Mary,
I have a problem I was hoping you could advise me on...Whenever I turm on my high speed (jets) my circuit blows. This happens even if the heater is unplugged. I've already changed the circuit but it still happens - any tips or suggestions?
