Fubuki Daiko: Godzilla vs. Led Zeppelin
Your Rating
To label this percussive powerhouse a drum ensemble would be a little like calling Godzilla a big lizard.
Waving their sinewy arms in the air, the Winnipeg quintet circle and attack their massive drums with an artful fluidity that is both primal and precise. You can't take your eyes off them.
They use their entire bodies to connect to their instruments, and after witnessing this hour-long spectacle of riveting rhythms and intense showmanship, you'll understand why they thank their chiropractors and massage therapists at the end.
If the title weren't clue enough that Fubuki Daiko like to play fast and loose with ancient Japanese tradition, the numbers inspired by Benny Goodman and Haitian voodoo, and the rap finale, should make the point nicely. If you haven't seen this festival mainstay on the outdoor stage in the past 17 years, it's time to see Fubuki Daiko's indoor debu
— Carolin Vesely
From the Fringe program:
In ancient Japan, taiko drums were used to frighten invaders, inspire troops in battle and call the gods.
For the past 17 years, Fubuki Daiko has been reinventing this traditional art form. Merging primal roots with modern sensibilities, the group has thrilled audiences across North America with their musicianship, humour and sheer physical stamina.
Don't miss this non-stop, no holds barred percussive display that is part martial arts athleticism, part dance and all rhythm.

Research Advisor: Dr. Patrick C. Seed, MD, PhD
Research Abstract:
Determining the Prevalence of the Fim Recombinases in Escherichia coli: Regulators of the Preeminent Virulence Determinant, Type I Pili
Cynthia D. Grady, Patrick Seed, M.D., Ph.D.
Department of Pediatrics, Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology
Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710.
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), the main cause of urinary tract infections, produces type 1 pili to attach to and penetrate into the bladder epithelium, thus initiating cystitis. In UPEC and commensal E. coli, type 1 pili are regulated by phase variation via combinations of five homologous, unlinked Fim recombinases but their combined prevalence in strains of different environmental origins is undetermined. We predicted that FimX, IpuA, and IpuB are more prevalent in UPEC than commensal strains, while FimB and FimE are common to most E. coli. Using genomic DNA from clinical and commensal E. coli, a multiplex PCR assay was developed for the detection of the five known Fim recombinase genes. The assay was applied to genomic DNA from 75 and 69 UPEC and commensal isolates, respectively. Among UPEC, 25.3% had all 5 Fim recombinase genes, 69.3% carried the combination fimB, fimE,and fimX, 4% had only fimB and fimE. One UPEC strain carried fimB, fimE, fimX, and ipuA. Of the commensal strains, 9.3% had all 5 Fim recombinases, 55.6% exclusively carried the genes fimB and fimE, 20.4% had only fimB, fimE,and fimX, 11.1% had just fimB, fimE, IpuA and IpuB, One strain had fimB, fimX, IpuA and IpuB, and 1 strain had fimB, fimE, fimX, and IpuB. These data demonstrate that fimX, ipuA, and ipuB are more prevalent in UPEC than commensal E. coli and that these recombinases may be evolutionarily conserved among UPEC to promote niche-specific regulation of type 1 pili.

Church break-in provides a sad reminder: 'Thou shalt not steal' not universal
Members of the congregation at Zion Baptist Church were surprised to learn that someone had broken into their house of worship last week and stole an assortment of items.
A burglar or burglars entered Zion Baptist Church, at 1982 Gap Creek Road, last Thursday or Friday.
"My mower was there weed-eating and he noticed the glass was broken," Pastor Alan King said.
The pastor said someone broke out the glass of an exterior door to enter the building.
Thomas Proffitt, who was mowing the church property on Saturday, contacted the pastor about 1 p.m.

Classmates gathered on Friday to honor a much-loved Miller Grove High School basketball player who died suddenly last weekend.
Terrell Coleman died after collapsing during an all-star game in Stone Mountain on Sunday. The 15-year-old had garnered national attention for his stellar basketball skills. Classmates said Coleman brought joy both on and off the court.
Students, parents and staff held a celebration of life for Coleman at Eddie J. White Academy in Hampton on Friday.
Terrell's phenomenal basketball skills were on display during his time at Eddie J. White Academy. The nationally-ranked player helped his team clinch the Clayton County middle school basketball championship last season. His #8 basketball jersey was officially retired in his honor and will now hang in the middle school gym.
Coleman was described as incredibly talented, yet humble, polite, respectful and possessing a deep Christian faith. Those who shared his middle school years said Coleman will forever live on in their hearts and minds.
Teachers and coaches said Coleman rose to every challenge on and off the basketball court. His years were short but it was clear he left a lasting legacy.

Hydrocodone is an opiate agonist, semi-synthetic narcotic analgesic and antitussive (cough suppressant) used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain.
Hydrocodone preparations contain analgesics such as acetaminophen, which can be toxic to the liver in high doses. Hydrocodone should only be used to treat patients who are tolerant to opiates. At high doses or in opiate sensitive patients there is risk of respiratory depression.
Hydrocodone Uses
Hydrocodone is marketed under names including Vicodin, Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, Anexsia, Hycodan, Vicoprofen, Tramadol, Zydone, Tylox, Tussionex and Hycomine. It is a semi-synthetic opioid. The narcotic drug, which can be habit-forming, is used as a pain reliever and cough suppressant, available in capsules, tablets and liquid form. Hydrocodone relieves pain by binding to the opioid receptor sites in the brain and spinal cord. It is not available in pure form in the U.S., and is typically found in combination with other drugs including aspirin and ibuprofen. A mixture of hydrocodone and acetaminophen is marketed as Vicodin and Lortcet, and hydrocodone and aspirin is marketed as Lortab.
Hydrocodone Warnings
As sales and production of hydrocodone products have increased in recent years, so too have diversion and illicit use of the drug. A four-fold increase in sales was reported between 1990 and 2000. Because the product can be habit forming, it can lead to both physical and psychological dependence. Because overuse of acetaminophen can lead to serious liver problems, its combination with hydrocodone can deter users from abusing it. However, this can cause a problem for young people and others who are unaware that acetaminophen is included in their medication. Many recreational users instead choose to take opiates such as oxycodone, which is not mixed with acetaminophen. When used for long periods of time, or at high doses, tolerance can develop, causing some to take more than prescribed. Most often, the drug is abused orally, instead of through intravenous methods.
Hydrocodone should not be combined with alcohol or other sedatives.
Hydrocodone Side Effects
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an alert this year in regard to the safe use of Tussionex, a cough suppressant containing hydrocodone. The agency said it received reports of "life-threatening adverse events and deaths in patients, including children." The reports indicated that some health care providers were prescribing the drug to patients younger than 6. It is indicated for patients 6 and older. The FDA also said some doctors were prescribing it for more frequent use than what is recommended.
Side effects of hydrocodone include:
- Dizziness
- Drowsiness
- Lightheadedness
- Nausea
- Constipation
- Vomiting
- Euphoria
- Allergic reaction
- Mood swings
- Mental fogginess
- Anxiety
- Lethargy
- Rash
Symptoms of overdose include: cold/clammy skin, circulatory collapse, stupor, coma, depression, respiratory depression, cardiac arrest and death. Mixing hydrocodone with other substances, including alcohol, can cause severe physical problems or death.

You will use a catheter (tube) to drain urine from your bladder. You may need a catheter because you have urinary incontinence (leakage), urinary retention (not being able to urinate), prostate problems, or surgery that made it necessary.
Clean intermittent catheterization - male; CIC - male
Urine will drain through your catheter into the toilet or a special container. Your doctor will show you how to use your catheter. After some practice, it will get easier.
Sometimes family members, a school nurse, or others may be able to help you use your catheter.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for the right catheter for you.
There are many different types and sizes of catheters. You can buy catheters and other supplies at medical supply stores. Others supplies may include towelettes and lubricant, such as K-Y jelly or Surgilube. Do NOT use Vaseline (petroleum jelly).
Ask your doctor how often you should empty your bladder with your catheter. Usually, you will need to empty it every 4 to 6 hours, or 4 to 6 times a day.
Always empty your bladder first thing in the morning and just before you go to bed at night. You may need to empty your bladder more frequently if you have had more fluids to drink.
Avoid letting your bladder get too full. This increases your risk of infection and other problems.
Follow these steps to insert your catheter:
Most insurance companies will pay for you to use a sterile catheter for each use, and some catheters are meant to be used only once. Many other catheters, however, can be re-used if they are cleaned correctly.
If you are reusing your catheter, you must clean it every day. Always make sure you are in a clean bathroom. Do NOT let the catheter touch any of the bathroom surfaces (such as the toilet, wall, or floor).
Follow these steps:
Throw away the catheter when it becomes dry and brittle.
Call your doctor or nurse if:

These days it is hard to make a quality recommendation. The one thing about the designer brands is that you will have trouble finding parts support down the line.
Just curious how reliable or not so reliable are those designer line brand faucets/fixtures.
Went shopping for bathroom stuff and came across alot of ~off brands~ I was not used to seeing.
Not sure how fashion vs function plays out in these .
Brands life Rohl, Fima, KWC, etc.
Call me old school but when I shop for faucets, I look at Moen, Kohler, Chicago to see if any of the designs fit the bill 1st.
Dornbracht, which I know is quite popular in the architectural world.
Are there designer brands to avoid and are these some ~deeesigner~ brands that are okay to consider that would be okay from either a reliability standpoint if not from a post service/repair standpoint.
These days it is hard to make a quality recommendation. The one thing about the designer brands is that you will have trouble finding parts support down the line.
Thanks Jim. What spurred this post was this post as well..
Just replace a valve stem in my Kohler shower/tub diverter. Redesign replacement part looked like a slightly bigger O ring.
With this post...I've yet to put much thought, but does a hodge-podge brass couple/converter, series of fitting exist that could in theory make it so it uses standard water supply hoses.
If not, this propietary thing is just nuts. If a hose was to fail Friday afternoon, would that mean one would have till wait till business day Monday, order the part and then either pay a arms length fee for expedited shipping for such a non standard part
Designer stuff is almost always a PITA when it comes to parts...
The worst situation for you may be being the proud owner of an $800 kitchen sink faucet that the maker goes out of business andhave no replacement parts available.
Designer stuff is almost always a limited production so don't expect to find after market parts available...
Designer faucets are throwaway faucets for people with lots of money.
So what brands would one focus on...
I'm also looking at Grohe as we've had good luck with them in the kitchen.
The hardware store I went has sooooo many off brands that looked *pretty* but I'm not sure about the guts of these beast
Models aside, for all ya'll Drain Surgeons out there, what brands should I be looking at.....
I sat down and jotte their shower lines while I was ther
Brass Tech
Herbeau Creations
Newport Brass
Paul Decorative
Perrin & Rowe
Samuel Heath
St. Thomas
Delta/Price Pfister/Moen
For quality: Chicago
T&S Brass

Are you saying that a "hardware store" had ALL those brands? It must have been some store, because many of those brands are usually only sold by "specialty suppliers", and no one store has ALL of them. In many cases your "designer" faucet may be a Central, Kohler, Price Pfister, etc., faucet which the company adds their own "trim" to it, and then, to use your term, charges an "arm's length fee" for it. Companies are in business to make money, NOT to make it easier for you to get repair parts from some other source, which is why parts are proprietary.
it was not a ~hardware store~ per se but my wording as such. When I redid my other bathroom, I thought the general consensus was PF was pretty but junk.
Thus I am revisitng the question now, to see if anything has changed and what to avoid ....
Never knew SO MUCH designer brands existed out there, until I visited this store.
While they did carry the Toto toiler, the Robern mirror, etc I like - I did not see nary a nil of any the latter brands like Moen, etc.
Kinda threw me for a curveball on whether or not any of these brands stood their test of time.
I always use PricePfister in my own houses, and recommend it to my customers, for everything other than the tub/shower valve.

Laser Wound Bonding
by Chris Hardwick on February 23, 2009
Yes, Futurists! Wounds can now be sewn up using photons instead of stitches. The only down side I can see is the flood of people rushing to unnecessary surgery just for the awesome thrill of getting all lased up, as opposed to getting laced up. Oh, words…you so craaaazy.

What caliber should I bring for Plains game hunt
My first African hunt will be for plains game targeting Kudu, Gemsbok, Wathog, Impala & may be a pig or other small antelope. The country that I am inclined towards is Namibia or free range South Africa.
I hope to take 2 rifles & would like your suggestion on which to take.
The criteria I want to specify are
1. Appropriate for the game to be taken humanely at sporting range
2. Nostalgia - using a classic rifle / caliber in Africa
The rifle battery to choose from is.....
1. Mauser 98 Simson - 9.3X62 (made before 1912 - octagon to round barrel with full length rib) - shooting Woodliegh 320 gr RN, Lapua 285 gr RN & Barnes 250 Gr TSX - topped with Leupold 2-7X scope - accurate to 200 meters
2. 1903 Mannlicher Schoenauer - 6.5X54MS carbine 18 inch barrel (1930 military conversion) with full stock that I did myself & Leupold 4X scope - shooting 160 gr Hornady RN @ 2100 fps - accurate to 150 meters
3. 1903 Mannlicher Schoenauer - original sporter made in 1924 - with 24 inch barrel & peep sights - same 6.5X54MS load @ 2300 fps. - accurate to 150 meters
4. 1910 Mannlicher Schoenauer 9.5X57MS take down model made before 1924 - open sights shooting 270 gr & 250 sp bullets @ 2200 to 2300 fps.- accurate to 100 meters
5. Sako L61R 280 Ackley Imp with Swarovski 2.5- 10X scope & shooting 150 tsx or 160 gr Accubond @ 2900 to 3000 fps - accurate to 400 meters
6. Kimber Montana SS 7mm-08 with Leupold 2.5-8X scope & shooting same 7mm bullets @ 2600 to 2700 fps - accurate to 300 meters
I would appreciate any comments. Thanks

You state Gemsbok so the .280 Ackley would have to be the minimum there as far as bullet weight and trajectory are concerned.
For the rest, either of the 6.5x54MS with 160 load will do perfectly.
You like classic calibres, but longer ranges may have you wishing you took one rifle, the .280.Time spent in Reconnaisance is never wasted.

Any of your Mannlichers should do for warthog &/or impala as the ranges will probably be close. The 9.3 has plenty of authority, but which do you shoot most accurately ? Either the 7-08 or 280 Ackley will do well across the board, but the Ackley would likely be useless if your ammo is misplaced en route. I'd be more inclined toward the 7-08 and more practice & ammo availability.
Have you posed this question to your potential PHs ?

Thanks guys. My inclination has always been to take the 9.3X62 - it has a double set trigger & would be perfect for long shots with shooting sticks as well as quick close shots. I'll probably take the 6.5MS Carbine as it is scoped & I did the stock work & am proud of the rifle.
Yes the 280 Ackley would be perfect & I shoot it very well, but the ammo is head stamped 280 rem & might be an issue with customs. I'll take that to the US or canad for Elk & mule deer!

Of the rounds you stipulate I would probably go with the great 9.3x62 and the 250 gr. Barnes X or better yet the 230 gr. GS Customs bullets of So. Africa..I dont' see anything nostalgic about the 280, but thats a good hunting choice...
My personal choice based on your stipulations would be and has been the 7x57 mauser...

Received an email yesterday, telling about this site here and don't have any idea, what ever turned that to me.
I did once one single hunting trip to South-Afrika, Eastern Cape, but I am surely not typically fpr hunters roaming this fields.
Well, just registered because of this thread, even, when I had considered never again spending any time sitting in front of PCs and writing about hunting instead doing it.
I am reloader, almost nothing else but rifle ammo and I have a strong fondness towards wildcats and use some of my own design also and such, I hardly can hold back when it turns to discussion concerning this field.
So, of course, in every (nearly every) point of view, I would say: use the 280 Ackley!
There is only that one drawback, you might run out of ammo and cannot buy it locally. Every loader never trusts ammo out of a shop anyway and I would recommend, take enough ammo and store it properly. You may loose it during the flight, but you may loose something else too and my experience (from other trips) ist such, that you will not loose those baggage that easy that you had to claim as important carriage.
In short, I wouldn't fear that as much, as it would be fun for me, hunting a wildcat.
Even, if this would be the lesser accurate rifle, I would tend to use that, but, in your case, it is the best shooting out of your choice, so what?
What is wrong with beeing able to hit maybe 100m further out, than is considered maximum for your hunt? You still will hit on the shorter distance and will do probably better with it, than with the rest of your guns, plus, what if... your dream of a buck stands youst 350m broadside and good conditions, but not the right rifle? Why running in such a situation, without a need for it?
You will be happy with a good scope on 4x to 5x and a good reticle in and shooting 160grs Accubonded in 7mm on your desired game. You have a tick over the 7mm-08 in using the 280 AI, especially with that bullet.
Consider: you may have to sight in your rifle in Afrika. It is better done with good scopes and accurate rifles.
If at all, my second rifle would be the 7mm-08 than. Maybe with the lighter bullet, but I don't like barnes X and its later cousins as much as the accubonded. That is one accurate bullet that realy performs very well at low costs!

Number 3 would be my choice - there is nothing there it won't deal with - given good shot placement. What a great rifle.
Then i would go the 9.3x62 and the 7mm08.....

I checked the 280 Ackley yesterday with a new load - 160 gr Accubond with VV N560 powder - giving 3050 fps in a 24.5 inch barrel!! That is duplicating the Nosler manual! The bolt lift was easy on the Sako & the load looks safe! Accuracy was ok but not great. May be worth reducing powder by 1 grain.
I also tried the Simson 9.3X62 at the club competition last week & did surprising well agains others with 223s, 22-250, 270, 7mm-08 etc.! Even at 200 meters I was able to hit the 3 inch bull on 3 out of 5 shots. I guess I would have got the animal 8 out of 10 times. With regular practice on the set trigger I am confident I can shoot 10 out of 10 in the bull with shooting sticks. I am still inclined towards this rifle.
This is a great thread & would love to hear more posts.

You will need to hit the vital triangle every time you put the rifle in your shoulder.
The 9.3 x 62 is a great calibre for African Plains game. So stick with it and keep on practising with it.
Enjoy your preparations and the hunt and remember to take lots of photos.Gerhard

Other choices to reduce pressure can do good on accuracy, but will reduce m.v. too.
With AccuBonded I like putting a MoS2 surface on them, what looks good, but what does good almost ever. In my .27x68, my "African Load" brought the 140grs AccuBonded to a measured 3345 fps (1020 m/s) V3 (3m from the muzzle). Without MoS2, the same load did 1040 m/s. But, without MoS2, I had to clean the rifle at least after 20 rounds to keep accuracy. With MoS2, I tested over 70 rounds on the range and could not see a loss of accuracy and the gun was cleaned very easy afterwards.
Depending on your chamber and tools, it might be chance that you do not need to use the expander during resizing the brass. You should not try this, if the neck ist reduzed to a diameter, thet would be to heavy for the bullet to open up during seating. And, you should egalize the neck by trimming out-/inside. Take a closer look inside the neck, at the line, where shoulder meets neck. Especially Cases with sharp shoulders tend to build material up here, prodocing a ring that does no good for accuracy. Depending on brass, you might have to remove this ring after three to five loadings in the case. It could allready be helpfull, to seat the bullet so, that it sits in front of this ring, but that is seldom possible.
OK, only a few suggestions, because I love doing it with wildcats ;-)
You should realy take the rifle, with that you feel the best and shot the best and not listen to much on ballistic benefits. It first sounded to me, the Ackeley would be that one in your rig and so I wanted to encourage you using that.

I agree! Take the gun you shoot the best & are comfortable with. My only thoughts with the reloading is "do you really need all that velocity?" everything I ever read & was told by outfitters was keep the velocity down. Granted the smallest caliber i shot in Africa was a 30/06 my 180 gr load was at 2484 fps & my 150 at 2932 fps. These loads were no where near top of the book in pressure which helps as far as sticky loads especially if you go in the hotter part of the season.
I never used VV for gun powder as I had already worked up decent loads long before VV hit the market in the States! The only change I made before I went on my first Safari in 2003 was I switched to Hodgdens heat sensitive powders. They made a minimal change in everything & I had a better piece of ind considering most of the days I was there it was 90 + degrees!
The 280 ackley is something I have considered getting for a while I hope it works out good for you!!!

I have been reading a lot about the 280 Rem and 280AI and the majority of the guys love the calibre.
I would suggest 160 and 170gr bullets for African Plains game. Unless you are going to hunt in open plain areas your shots should not be more than 200 yards at most. So there is not really a need to chase max velocity....Gerhard

I would be as happy as a pig in s--t with any one of the guns you mention but would probably opt for the 9.3x62 as I really like the gun description, it must be an old beauty and lots of nostalgia there and I'm a nostalgic sorta guy!
I would not feel the least bit of intimadation hunting long range with the 9.3x62..I have made some mighty long shots with it...The difference in trajectory between any of the calibers is pretty miniscule in the field where one wiggles on about as much as one wiggles off on those shots! and it kills like a .375 H&H...darn nice caliber.
Im more into properly constructed bullets and bullet placement along with real nice old guns, than I am into caliber.
I think the most fun hunt that I ever went on in Africa was a plainsgame hunt and with my grandads 30-30 and 170 gr. Factory Rem. Corelokts..I shot about everything with it including one Eland that I shot through the shoulder as he ran by at 150 yards and again in the rump as he passed..He went about 75 yards and went down..The rump shot broke the hip and the bullet ended up perfectly expanded in the throat, not bad for an old punkin roller IMO..and it makes one think, since that is about where a .375 would have ended up also.
I also observed Phillip Price, Swartkei Safari kill and eland with a going away shot out of a .243 Sako, it went about 100 or so yards and went down, but I shot it about 3 times with a .375..What amazed me was the little 100 gr. Rem Corelokt went all the way to the shoulder, cut a hole in the big shoulder bone and was a perfect mushroom under the skin...Proper bullet performance is amazing when it comes to killing game...RAY ATKINSON

happy hunting

Return to Sender
Western Union
Two songs which are SO alike musically, lyrically and thematically. Western Union sounds like a follow up to the story that begins in Return to Sender.
I'm not sure if that was deliberate or just fortuitous, but which of them would you prefer and why?
I'm voting Western Union, because I love continuing stories and somehow, musically, it just has the edge for me.
(p.s. according to Elvis His Life A-Z Return to Sender was the first UK #1 hit to include the saxophone!)
I really like both of the songs
Western Union is a good song, and Father Conor you are right it's like a second part from Return To Sender, which is cool
But, my vote goes to Return To Sender, because I like the way he sang it
Ive voted for Return To Sender...this is an all time Presley classic, with Elvis obviously enjoying himself as you can feel the joy in his vocals..everybody in the studio must have known this was going to be a hit as soon as they started recording it..and this infectious bounce and happiness is carried along through the whole song...
Western Union whilst again a great song just seems to lack that extra something to take it to the same level as Return To Sender, though I doubt there is anything else Elvis or the band could have done to make this song any better than it is, for me it just doesnt quite make the grade. Its good but not great.
I voted Return To Sender - his performance of it in GGG is an Elvis highlight for me......he seems to be having so much fun and he looks divine........like Western Union too....but Return To Sender is a classic for me.
i will chose return to sender as when i hear it i smile and want to dance western union is good but you can't beat a classic
Yes for me its also Return to Sender. Western Union is like a sequel to me also. We all know the original is usually superior to a sequel. But Western Union is nice also.
I like both songs pretty much equally but what I like best in Western Union is that he is more forceful in trying to win the lady back.
thats a valid point never thought of it that way
Here are the words to both songs.
Western Union
Western Union
Oh, Western Union clickety clack
I had a fight with my baby
Ooh how sorry I am
She won't talk to me no how
I'm gonna send a telegram
Western Union oh yeah
Send my lovin' baby back to me
She won't open my letters
She won't answer the phone
When I'm a-ringin' her doorbell
She says there ain't nobody home
Western Union oh yeah
Send my lovin' baby back to me
Western Union oh yeah
Send my lovin' baby back to me
I love you is my message
Just three words and no more
If she won't let you deliver
Slip it underneath her door
Western Union oh yeah
Send my lovin' baby back to me
Western Union oh yeah
Send my lovin' baby back to me
Return To Sender
I gave a letter to the postman,
he put it his sack.
But in early next morning,
he brought my letter back.
She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.
So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D.
But in early next morning
it came right back to me.
She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
This time I'm gonna take it myself
and put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
then I'll understand the writing on it
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such zone.
If i have to choose it would be return to sender. i loved this song as a child.
Western union

Return to Sender for me Dovey
Get Him, get him~~Hot D*** ~~ he's a Squirrel!

Believe it or not I like Western Union better...don't ask me why. Maybe the words.
Love to all,

Return to Sender was a world-class song, not to mention we catch the young and beautiful Elvis, really into this the performance of this song!
My vote goes to Return To Sender
I'd like to go to Graceland
I really like both of the songs, but i voted for Western Union
Some of you all never been down South too much...
I'm gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about

Frida Kahlo / Diego Rivera, 'L'Art en fusion'
Musée de l'Orangerie
Until Mon Jan 13
Mexico, musée Dolores Olmedo / © ADAGP, Paris 2012 / © AKG-Images
Time Out rating:
Time Out says
In an exhibition all set to dominate the Autumn art season for 2013, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera will be side by side on the walls of the Musée de l'Orangerie – a reunion as rare as it is exciting. The mythical couple are brought back together through a remarkable series of canvases, notably those coming from the Dolores Olmedo Museum in Mexico. Between Frida's disturbingly modern, radically feminine self-portraits and Rivera's epic paintings of the Mexican revolution, the exhibition zigzags between the modes of expression of these inseparable lovers. Together, they more or less invented an entire genre of Mexican art, partly influenced by the western avant-garde and pre-Colombian era.

Office Hours
Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30p.m.
Sunday Morning Parking
When you arrive on Sunday morning, you may choose to park in one of three main lots. Two of these will be to your left and right as you enter at the front of the building. These lots fill up quickly so you may wish to arrive 15 minutes before the service starts to find a spot. The third parking lot is located behind the building and is convenient for parents with children – our Children's Ministry volunteers will be there to help you find Sunday school classrooms and the nursery.
Handicap parking is located along both sides of the building.
On many special occasions (Christmas, Easter) parking lot attendants will help you navigate the lots, and shuttle buses will take you to and from satellite parking areas.
Worship Services
We have two main Sunday morning services, Worship Alive at 9:00 a.m. and Live at Eleven at 11:00 a.m. These two services take place in the main auditorium. The style of worship at the first service draws on elements from the vibrant history of traditional worship, including a balanced mix of hymns and choruses, and a variety of instruments – from organ to guitar. At Live at Eleven, a praise band and singers will lead you in contemporary singing. Each service is generally 60 minutes long and includes worship through song, prayer, and giving, as well as a teaching time. The first Sunday of the month, we celebrate the Lord's Table together.
We also have a number of Sunday morning services and programs for children, youth, and seniors:
9:00 A.M. (birth to grade 5) – 9:00 a.m., west wing & lower level
11:00 A.M. (birth to grade 5) – 11:00 a.m., west wing & lower level
YOUTH (grades 6-12) – 9:00 a.m., room 180
Learning Communities (Adult Education) – 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
The Gathering (55+ Fellowship) – 10:30 a.m., Fellowship Hall
Hosting and Touchpoint Ministry
Hosts at the auditorium doors will hand you a bulletin that outlines the order of service for the day.
At the end of each service, a team of men and women wearing red lanyards are available for prayer or encouragement. These safe and caring individuals are part of our TouchPoint team. You can meet them at the front of the auditorium, near the stage.
Our church family is large and its members are of a wide range of ages and backgrounds. The pastors and worship leaders usually dress in conservative 'business casual' attire on stage, but you'll find people at Grant dressed in everything from blue jeans to business suits.
Welcome Centre
On your first visit, we invite you to stop by our Welcome Centre, located in the South Hall. Our friendly volunteers will be there to answer your questions about Grant, and you can enjoy some coffee and refreshments.
Information Centre
Feeling lost? Visit the information desk in the South Hall. Our volunteers will point you in the right direction. At each entrance/exit you'll also find newsstands featuring the Event Guide, a regularly updated guide to life in our community.
Comment Cards
The Sunday worship bulletin contains a perforated comment card. If you'd like us to send you information on any of our ministry areas, fill out a card and drop it in the offering basket. There is also a place for your comments or prayer requests.

Andreas Christensen
Born on 10 April 1996 in Allerod, Denmark, Andreas was at Brondby for eight years before joining Chelsea ahead of many other clubs for the 2012/13 campaign.
A tall, ball-playing centre-back whose game is similar in style to Ricardo Carvalho, his father is a former professional goalkeeper.
The youngster has flourished this season and become a regular at the heart of the Blues defence. He scored our first goal of this season's FA Youth Cup campaign to inspire a fightback at Charlton after we'd fallen 2-0 behind, but it's at the other end of the pitch where he's really shone.
Christensen has played in all but two of our matches en route to the FA Youth Cup final, scoring the first of our three goals at Charlton in the fourth round, while his 11 appearances for the Under-21s underline a level of maturity in his play beyond his years.
Christensen was also a regular in the NextGen Series campaign which saw us reach the final and he has also represented Denmark Under-17s.

Not so great anymore... – Mel's used to be a great spot to grab a burger--not so much these days. Burgers and sandwiches are lackluster and boring; most dishes have a distinctly assembly-line feel and the sides (fries, onion rings) are greasy and limp. Salads generally composed of about 1/2 fresh lettuce and 1/2 wilted and browning. Prices are a bit high for the quality of the food.
On the plus side, the service is fast and efficient. Overall, an OK place if nothing else is open--just don't expect to be thrilled with the food.
Little kids like this place – This West Coast chain is a nice place to bring little kids. They get to have their meals served in paper convertible cars. Their malts and shakes (one of a few places to make coffee shakes, and now they have espresso malts/shakes) are really good, topped with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. The Caesar salad was soggy and practically 1/3 of the bowl was full of croutons, not lettuce. The dressing was too tangy for a Caesar. The vegetable soup of the day was good, spicy from the peppers. The jalapeno pepper grilled chicken was good. If you like cheeseburgers, they're pretty good here. The fries are ok. Tried the fried onion blossom in the past and it was horrible. Full of nauseating oil, practically inedible. The booths are fun and you can play old time music for 25 cents a play. This restaurant has been here for a long time now and the booths are wearing thin with tiny rips in the seats. Still a fun place to bring children.
Made famous by "American Graffiti," this '50s-style diner offers a classic American menu and nostalgic decor. – In Short
Modeled after the original Mel's featured in "American Graffiti," this vintage '50s coffee shop is decorated with old-time movie stills and tabletop jukeboxes that pulse with yesteryear's greatest hits. The menu offers classic diner eats, from standard burger options to all-day breakfasts, featuring the Hangover Five Alarm Three-Egg omelette with cheddar and chili, and the Elvis Scramble with chorizo, peppers and Monterey Jack.
Huge Salads, Comfort food – I love Mel's. They have a huge variety of food. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is served all day. The food comes in huge portions and the price is more than reasonable. I love their giant ceasar salads and the appetizer plate with chicken strips, onion rings, and mozeralla sticks. It's a meal in itself. And with this location you can eat outside. It's great for families and adults who want to sing to the juke box.
Burgers are over-rated – Save your time and money, go somewhere else. The waitstaff was friendly, but the food left me desiring something better. What a shame.
S.F. Burgers! – The "Sunset" burger at Mel's on Geary, cooked a perfect "RARE" everytime, is consistantly, the BEST burger I've had on the West Coast!!!!!!!!!!!!
What more can I say!!!???? I needs nothing more! JJ
Only a tourist would eat here – I dont know how this place survives in a city with such great food. I guess the only draw is the late night service, but with a little effort you can find much better late night food in hidden diners around town.
Right across from the Morpheus Theater! – Mouth-watering chocolate shakes - ask about the "Trenton Special." By the way, the bacon bit fixins will keep you coming back for more. However, I don't like the spacious tables - too crowded for the two of you. Would be more intimate with slightly more space. The crowd can be a bit dodgy at times.
Yum on Apple Pie – If you want that old fashion shake with comfy food, then Mel's is the place for you. We have had the shepard's pie, meatloaf dinner and sandwhiches there a few times. It definitley is not the place for anyone on a diet. Their apple pie is absoultely terrific...nice juicy sweet apples with a little firmness and a flaky crust with a huge heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream to cool it down. The mixture of cinnamon and sugar in the pie is just the right combination. Also, since they have a parking lot, it makes parking a breeze. Sometimes, the service can be a hit or miss, but overall, highly recommend it.
oldies music and good eats – Basic good American fare, ambiance & service good, open 24hours and if you like
oldies music, this is your place.

Permanent lines on music whiteboards are helpful in other contexts as well. They can be used when teaching handwriting, or in any other application where straight lines are needed. Hertz Furniture has wall-mounted and mobile music boards so you can choose you ideal arrangement.
Mobile music boards are ideal for any place where rooms are used for a number of purposes. If you don't have a separate band practice room or music classroom, it is unlikely that teachers of other subjects will want to have permanent lines going across the dry erase board. When you have a mobile model, you don't have to worry about getting access to the same room every time you have a music lesson. Instead, you can simply wheel the board into the classroom you are using and have everything you need, no matter where you are.
An additional benefit of our mobile boards is that they provide twice as much work space. With double-sided models, teachers can feel free to fill-up the whole space, and simply flip the board over when they need more room. If there is a desire to reference or return to the notes which were written at the beginning of a lesson, the board can simply be flipped back over, and everything will be exactly where it was.This arrangement also saves the time it would take to erase the board in the middle of a class.
We also have mobile models which include a music board on one side and a natural cork board on the other. This is great when you want to have some extra hanging space, while still having the surface that is needed for music lessons. The cork side can be used to display announcements when there are no lessons going on in that particular space, and simply flipped to the other side when band practice is beginning.
A high-class school that has the space and resources to furnish a designated band room or music room might prefer the wall-mounted option. Our music whiteboards come in a number of different sizes to fit in the wall space you have allotted. A built-in marker tray running along the bottom of the board provides a convenient space for writing implements so instructors don't have to constantly be holding them or rummaging around to figure out where they are.
Best Rite music boards are designed for years of recitals, debuts and encore performances. The black lines running across them won't fade, even with repeated use and erasing. When you need to zoom in on notes, scales or chords, these boards provide a reliable space to harness student talent and provide clear instruction.
At Hertz Furniture, we know how important it is to have music in the educational environment. That's why we provide all of the equipment you need to furnish a music room or band room in your school. Our music boards are designed to make lessons easier for instructors and clearer for students, so everyone can enjoy the experience.

When you buy from Hertz Furniture, you don't need to compromise on ideals or preferences. You get great warranties, quality and designs all with the additional benefits American made products. With everything from office desks to school chairs conveniently organized on this one Made in USA page, you can definitely afford to buy American.
There are lots of reasons to look for school furniture that is made in the USA. If we want to teach our students to be patriotic, we need to demonstrate our own patriotism in the classroom. By furnishing a learning space with American made school desks, student chairs and bookcases, we send a message to children that we are proud of our country and our home-grown goods. They will understand that there are many reasons to be proud to be an American.
When you go shopping for furniture made in the USA, make sure to really check the label before purchasing anything. While some companies might claim that they are only using American labor, it is possible that certain steps in the assembly process are happening overseas, or that international parts are being used with the assembly process in America. It is important to demonstrate to manufacturers, the American public and the world that it does make a difference to consumers when they have furniture made in America.
There are tons of benefits to purchasing made in USA furniture. First of all, America has very strict standards regarding pollution in product production. When you buy American, you help keep a cleaner environment for the future of our children. When you purchase products without looking for the made in USA label, you don't know what they might contain or what kinds of conditions they were made under. Products from overseas might have been made under substandard working conditions, in factories which are causing tons of air pollution or using child labor.
American labor standards and worker conditions ensure that your office furniture is only produced under acceptable conditions. Made in the USA products have been manufactured through processes which take into account the safety of the workers, the quality of the products and the impact on the environment. When you buy American, you celebrate our country's independence and promote a self-sufficient economy.
When you buy domestically-produced furniture, you can feel good about your purchase. It's great to know that it was made under particular conditions, in compliance with strict standards. You also know who made it. The production of American made furniture creates jobs for our country's citizens. It is always important to support the American labor force, and buying furniture made in the USA is a mutually-beneficial way to do so.
At Hertz Furniture, we know what is important to the American consumer. With our wide array of American made furniture, you can be patriotic and still rely on the quality, style and reliability you have come to expect from Hertz Furniture. So next time you are looking for furniture made in the USA, you can simply come to this page to buy American. Need help choosing which great models will fit best in your space?

About the Nest
Jim Carpenter, Founder & CEO of Wild Birds Unlimited, has hosted a camera-equipped owl box in his wooded backyard in Zionsville, Indiana, since 1999. Set more than 30 feet high against the trunk of a pignut hickory tree, this Barred Owl box was first occupied in 2006. Since then, the box has hosted several nests.
The camera system was updated in 2013 with an Axis P3364LVE security camera and microphone mounted to the side of the box and connected to Jim's house via 200 feet of ethernet cable. To keep predators like raccoons from investigating the nest, aluminum flashing was wrapped around the tree. An infrared illuminator in the box means you can keep track of the owls' comings and goings throughout the night (don't worry—the light is invisible to the owls).
A mama Barred Owl has set up residence in our owl nest box again this year. If all goes well, we can expect the owlets to leave the nest four to five weeks after hatching.
Here's a timeline of what's happened so far:
April 11: Third egg hatched
April 9: Second egg hatched
April 8: First egg hatched
March 12: Third egg laid
March 9: Second egg laid
March 7: First egg laid
Stop by often to watch the live streaming video from the nest box 24 hours a day!

USC to hold public hearing for capital projects plan
Upper St. Clair Township Commissioners will hold a public hearing at their regular meeting on Aug. 5 to consider the next five-year capital projects plan.
The 2014-2018 Capital Improvement Program includes $66,849,450 worth of projects over the next five years.
Finance director August Stache Jr. has called the plan a road map or wish list for the township. The items must be included in the township's annual budget for any given year in order for them to be confirmed.
The items under the 2014 year of the capital plan will be under consideration for funding along with the township's operating budget at the end of 2013.
The proposed capital budget for the first year of the five-year plan – 2014 – includes $7,200,100 worth of projects. Of that figure, $5,217,400 are considered a priority for funding in 2014, while another $1,982,700 worth are "under review" for funding.
Priority items in the 2014 year of the plan include $1,200,000 for the township's annual street improvement program, plus an additional $60,000 for a crack sealing program. Also listed as priority items for 2014 are more than $400,000 in information technology improvements, including new software and hardware.
Several vehicles are scheduled to be replaced in the public works department under the proposal, including pick up trucks and also a street sweeper that is expected to cost $250,000.
