Food colouring will do fine.
Trying to find a leak in bathroom. Is there a dye that the pros use that won't stain a tub? If I use a dye in the tub water then I will know when I see the dyed water on the unfinished ceiling below that it is probably the drain, not the pipes or mixing valve.
Food colouring will do fine.
Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe me? -Jack Handy
If the leak stops, then it is NOT the pipes. There are easier ways to isolate whether it is the valve or drain, and a plumber would know how to do it.
To check for leaks in toilets, specifically flapper valves I generally use food coloring.
I would be hesitant to use dies in other locations.
I remember many years ago, the septic field police were going around to homes and flushing a packet of dye down the toilet. Then they would walk around the property looking for the dye to break to the surface or enter a stream.
Marina's do the same thing with boats, throw a die packet into the holding tank so they can fine anyone who pumps overboard!
Plumber's dye is what they use to dye the Chicago River green on St. Patrick's Day.

Apr 23, 2012
Mitt Romney needed 15 weeks once the primary contests began to gain a secure hold over his party's nomination for president. But he emerged as the conclusive winner in the media narrative about the race six weeks earlier, following a narrow win in his native state, according to a new report by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism that examines in detail the media's coverage of the race.
After Romney's tight victory in the Michigan primary on Feb. 28, news coverage about his candidacy became measurably more favorable and the portrayal of his rivals—particularly Rick Santorum—began to become more negative and to shrink in volume.
One main component of that shift in the narrative is that after Michigan, the news media began to view Romney's nomination as essentially inevitable. Indeed, a close look at the coverage finds that references to delegate math and the concept of electoral inevitability spiked in the media the week after Michigan, rising twelve fold, for instance, on television news programs. From that point on, the amount of attention in the press to Romney's candidacy began to overwhelm that of his rivals, and the tone of coverage about him, which had been often mixed or negative before, became solidly positive.

Equine Therapy From Susannah Smith
Susannah Smith, Ph.D., now offers Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Equine Assisted Learning, following her certification by the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association, which has developed a model for standardization and excellence in training.
The model focuses on enhancing the mental health of individuals, families and couples, and "has been found to be particularly effective with adolescents, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, autism, marital discord, and group dynamics," Smith says. For organizations, therapeutic models are used for leadership styles, teambuilding, management styles, communication skills, and systems interventions. Historically, Smith reports, the therapeutic benefits of the horse were recognized as early as 460 BC. "The use of the horse as therapy evolved throughout Europe, the United States and Canada," because the animal "is intuitive and responds to the energy around it. Anyone who has spent time around these magnificent animals realizes how gentle and caring, and forceful and mischievous they can be. They respond differently to different energy."
Smith is working with Olga Spanhoff, of the San Juan Riding Program, to combine EAL and EAP offerings with "hippotherapy." Physically, hippotherapy can improve balance, posture, mobility and function, and also affect psychological, cognitive, behavioral and communication functions for clients of all ages. Clients who may benefit from hippotherapy can have a variety of diagnoses, ranging from cerebral palsy to multiple sclerosis, developmental delay, traumatic brain injury, stroke, autism and learning or language disabilities. Smith, who has dual professional expertise as both a clinical psychologist and an organizational development consultant, can be reached at 970/728-5234; her website is www.creativeteamconsulting.com.

FTA:Obama is reversing Churchill´s Middle East colonization which divided the Muslims, and was meant to enable Great Britain to to conquer the Muslims. Instead, the anti-colonialist Obama wants the US to unify the Muslims, which will cause the United States to lose to the Muslim world. It seems as though Obama is planning to be the Che-Mao-Bolivar-Saladin of what his Middle Eastern friends intend to create: the world´s soon-to-be-established Muslim Caliphate.

Don´t forget Jordan in your list of our allies. Good King Abdullah has exposed the stupidity of this bunch. Administration officials told him that the road to democracy in the region went thru the Brotherhood. Not anymore. If Obama made the statement the article claims I´d guess it came from Samantha Power. A shia-sunni superpower. What could go wrong.

Samantha Power in 2002 said Americans must spend billions to make a massive military presence in Palestine to free it from its oppressors. Obama and the GOP (meaning McCain, Graham, and Boehner) have essentially accomplished this by putting weapons in the hands of every man, woman, and child in the Middle East and Africa.

Raymond Bradley "Whippet" Jennings
Clear Creek resident Raymond Bradley Jennings passed from this life Thursday evening Dec. 5, 2013, at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center following a long and courageous battle with liver failure and complications from a recent liver transplant. His loving wife Debbie and sisters Karron and Cathy were at his side.
Born Aug. 30, 1961, in Fremont, to the late Raymond and Sharron Jennings, at the age of two he and his family relocated to the northeastern California lumber community of Westwood where he was raised and educated. Brad graduated from Westwood High School as a member of the Class of 1979 where he lettered in both football and wrestling and as a member of the wrestling team went on to compete in the section finals.
Following his graduation Brad went to work for Brewer Construction where he proudly learned the skills to remodel his own home later in life. At the age of 19, he began a ten-year career with Union Pacific Railroad working as a track maintenance crew member. He was immediately dubbed "Whippet" by his foreman, Mike Floyd due to how fast he moved and did the work. The nickname stuck so well that many new acquaintances only know him as Whippet or simply "Whip."
In 1981 he met and began a loving relationship with Debra Vincent that later led to the couple's marriage on July 11, 1987.
Following their marriage he longed to be closer to home with his wife as the railroad job required long weeks away. He hired on with the Collins Pine Company for a brief period of time until he was offered the opportunity to begin his dream job of a golf course grounds keeper, a career he hated to give up due to his failing health in September of 2012.
He will be remembered by many a local golfer for his professionalism at Mount Hough, Bailey Creek, Lake Almanor Country Club, Lake Almanor West, and his favorite, McCloud.
An avid sports fan, he was a passionate Oakland Raiders Fan as his "Raider Room" will confirm, which was filled to capacity every weekend with his and Debbie's many friends and avid sports enthusiast. He will be remembered in the community for his organization of the local football pool. He was a dedicated San Francisco Giants fan as well as a loyal Sacramento Kings fan. He and his friends attended as many games in person to each of these teams as possible.
Brad absolutely loved living here in the mountains and found great solace in spending time in the outdoors hunting and fishing as well as playing golf, snowmobiling, bowling, horseshoes and numerous other sporting activities. A great love of his was trying his luck in the many gaming establishments of the area, which he was actually pretty successful at. In addition to his many interests, Brad was also a very talented drummer and was the original drummer for the Side FX Band.
In joining his parents in their eternal home, Brad leaves his loving wife, who has been at his side throughout his complicated illness, Debbie Jennings, of Clear Creek; sisters Karron White, of Greenville, and Cathy and her husband Mike Stelzriedem of Eagle Lake; niece Stephanie Stelzriede, of Lake Almanor; nephews, Daniel White, of Chico, Brandon Stelzriede, of Westwood, Jason Stelzriede and his wife Becky, of Westwood, his godson Kameron Stelzriede, whom he was so proud of, and let's not forget his loving companion Echo, his zealous Golden Retriever. The family would also like to acknowledge that Brad leaves behind literally hundreds of friends, most of whom have been life-long.
A Celebration of Brad's life will take place 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 20, at the Clear Creek Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A continuation of the celebration will follow at the Moonlight Bar and Grill in Westwood.
An opportunity to express your condolences to the family along with signing the memorial guest register is available online at fehrmanmortuary.com. The family asks that any rememberances in Brad's memory be made to the Clear Creek Volunteer Fire Department, c/o Fehrman Mortuary and Crematory, P.O. Box 803, Greenville, CA 95947.

the worst delivery, costumers service and food EVER!
When I read bad reviews, I thought everyone has different taste. And Stupid me, I ordered. BIG Mistake.
I order chicken w/ Snow peas, it came Shrimp which tasted like can soup. I ordered Sweet&Sour Shrimp, it is fried shrimp, sweet sauce in side, whic is tastless.
When I called to tell that they deliverd wrong food, OMG! What a rude person who answered the phone. He said they delivered wright food. $15.00+5.00 Tip Total $20.00 gone to trash.
Please Do Not ne as stupid as me. Believe the reviews. Every one has different taste, but Bad reviews are BAD.
Different from the East Coast – I'm visiting from Maryland and had the urge to get some chinese food. Finally found a place to deliver and chose this one. I ordered a spring roll, fried dumplings, hot and sour soup and some shrimp egg foo young. When you get a taste in your mouth of what you usually eat, thats what you want. The spring roll was good, along with the fried dumplings. The hot and sour soup and the shrimp egg foo young was no where near the food I get in Maryland. That was disappointing. It was made entirely different and not the same taste. I gave it a try and it was still good. The egg foo young patties looked & tasted different from the ones in Maryland and the shrimp, onions, bean sprouts were not included in the patties, but added to the dish. No gravy and no rice. I usually get 4-6 friend dumplings in my order, but for this it was 8-9. The sauce was a bit more sweeter than what I am used to, but even with the extra sweetness, they were great. The hot and sour soup was red and not the dark brown that I was used to and it had big chunky mushrooms and a few sliced one. All in all the food was good. I don't think that I would order again if I wanted the same food except for the spring rolls and fried dumplings.
Maricopa County Health Inspection Report at Maricopa.gov – 3/1/07-OBSERVED LIVE INSECTS IN KITCHEN AREA AND MULTIPLE DEAD INSECTS - ELIMINATE PESTS.
1/2/08-Openings to the outside not protected against the entrance of insects and rodents-OBSERVED BACK DOOR WAS OPEN AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION. EMPLOYEE CLOSED THE DOOR.
Restaurant is a repeat violator.
9/10/08-Employee handwashing facilities not accessible, maintained clean and/or use limited to handwashing only-OBSERVED SEVERAL CONTAINERS STORED IN FRONT OF EMPLOYEE HAND SINK. EMPLOYEE MOVED THE CONTAINERS AWAY.
This site forced me to substitute "insect" for the real name. Let's just say it's the worst insect a restaurant can have.
A Great Asian Lunch for Work! – I've never been to GoGo China, but have been ordering lunches from them for a while and the food is always great, delivered hot, a generous portion on everything and extremely reasonable prices. Everyone in our office loves when we order in from them. Never had any staples in our food! Only great food, great prices and fast delivery. Definitely recommend!
GO GO STAPLE IN YOUR FOOD CHINA – Restuarant is dirty, I had food delivered and there was a staple in my food. I called the owner back and he just brused it off and did not offer any remedy or even a refund on the purchase.
Take out, for sure – "Go Go" definitely describes its style - the place is so tiny more than two parties would mean a wait. You still may want to give the place a try as the food comes fast, and is an okay value - good portions for the price. So far, I've not had anything spectacular, but I've had worse at other places.
If you're looking for Chinese fare that won't stretch your palate or surprise you, but is filling and won't stretch your budget, give it a shot!

11287 Klamath Trl, Lakeville, MN | Directions 5504444.705602 -93.295430
Monday To Sunday From 04:00 PM To 10:00 PM Sunday From 10:00 AM To 01:30 PM
Unfortunate – My lovely wife and I were recently guests at the Charthouse in Lakeville for the first time, and i am fully aware it will also be our last.
It is an off the beaten track little place, and upon hearing mixed reviews and acquiring a coupon for dinner there, we decided to give it a shot. It was 730 on a saturday night, and the first red flag should have been the sparsity of cars in the parking lot. Upon entering the establishment, we were, after several confussed minutes, greeted by who appeared to be a very intoxicated host. It was rather comical really, but strange, She oddly asked us wether or not we wanted to sit in the lounge area or in the dining room, not elaborating at all what either of the options entailed.
Upin sitting down, we were given water and a rundown of the daily specials and wine options. Excited, my wife and I both decided to try something new; the prime rib and the crab legs, Upon recieving our entrees, the crab legs were noticably well over steamed, and the prime rib was well over cooked.
The hostess approached our table asking how everything was, we found out later she was actually the manager, and when I started to explain our disappointment in our dinners, she simply offered us a complementary dessert and said :that's all that she could do" and then walked away. Our waitress was very apologetic, caring and nice, but obviously didn't have the last say. We paid our bill and left hungary, disappointed, and offended that a restaurant this day in age wouldn't even try to rectify a situation with a fresh entree, an alternative, or even common courtesy,
It was just a horrible experience; bad food, drunk management; I don't see them staying open for much longer.
Chart House - A Great Place to Get Married – This place is great. My wife and I got married here late last summer, and it was the best day of my life. The ceremony was outside. The grounds were in perfect condition, from the flowers to the sunset. The staff met all of our needs for the ceremony, it left us carefree to enjoy our day.
The reception was even better. The Chart House was organized and the staff was extremely accommodating and courteous. Our dinner was served timely, and several of my guests commented on how good their meals were.
The manager gave us extra attention and fulfilled all of our requests from special seating to taking care of our wedding cake.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for the perfect place to get married.
Unimpressed--unprepared, understaffed, disorganized – Headline says it all. I had my wedding there in September, they did not keep up to their end of the bargain. Nothing they said they were going to take care of got done. Food service took over two hours--unacceptable. I had crying children leaving at 9 pm, unfed. My food was taken from me while away, not to mention I did not get dessert because the dance needed to start. My husband cleared the tables and chairs for the dance floor. They were late with my melting ice sculpture, no one had any direction and the coordinator was not even there that night. The owner, Josh Ruppert was a total jerk and did not once apologize or care to ask how things were going. It was incredibly expensive to have no attention paid to any details. I will never go there again and will tell everyone I know what a horrible experience my wedding day was. They do not deserve 1/2 star. The other wedding they had their that night got food poisoning. I found out, not by them, but by the St. of MN Health Dept. Only good thing that night was the sunset, good thing the Chart House had nothing to do with that or they would've screwed that up to. Worst Experience Ever!
Worst Experience Ever – The Chart House has a lovely facility, but that's about where my compliments stop. A few weeks ago we had a company dinner for 30 people planned for a Tuesday evening.…
The facility: deader than dead. We were about the only people there. The restrooms near where we were seated were out of paper towels before we even showed up and the in-stall garbages in the ladies room obviously had not been emptied for a long time.
The food: We narrowed down the menu to a choice of three entrees and gave the facility our final order count for each prior to the event. For those that had the walleye, most were cold and some weren't even cooked all the way. One person sent their walleye back saying it wasn't fully cooked and immediately received a new cold one in its place. For those that had the prime rib, it was overdone. And unfortunately I received mine a good five minutes after everyone else in the party had been served only to have it delivered well done. After dinner, they brought around dessert trays, each plate showing two slices of each type of dessert. I asked the waitress whether they came with two slices or one, and she couldn't answer that question for me. So I told her that if it were two slices, I would share it with the person next to me, and if it's one slice, we'll each have one. She brought us each a plate with two slices. A few other people mentioned to me how they waited a long time to get their drinks so they got up and went to the bar to get them themselves, while other servers and the owner sat at the bar and watched them take their drinks off the counter.
The staff: After dinner, I asked to speak with the owner. I approached the issues in a nice manner, but he immediately got defensive. When I brought up how my meal came out long after everyone else's and he tried to give me a story as to how one of our guests switched their meal and that's why they ran out. (Unfortunately for him I was standing right there when that person did ask to switch, but was told no because they only had exact amounts of each.) It was obvious that the prime rib was not being cut off of a roast but was being reheated from some earlier time. After some negotiation, the owner took some money off the bill, but he certainly did not leave me with a good taste in my mouth. The servers were nice, but seemed helpless to answer our questions or fix any of the complaints as they arose. As I was leaving the restaurant, the cook actually apologized to me in the parking lot for the poor meal.
Overall: I would never recommend this place to anyone. In fact, you'd have to pay me to go there again. The place certainly isn't cheap, but unfortunately I could classify it as one of my worst experiences ever. With the attitude of the owner, I don't expect the place to be open much longer.
Planning a wedding? – Clarification---I have never been there- we are planning a wedding. We live in NM.
Just wondering if anyone has been married at the Chart House? My son and his finance are planning a wedding this fall. Any suggestions?
Great experiences at the Chart House – My wife and I have been enjoying the Chart House for the last 2 years now, and we are rarely disappointed when we visit them. We've chose the Chart House for everything from a drink with friends to a full sit down meal to a private party to celebrate a special occasion in their dining room. Our experiences always seem to be nothing short of spectaculiar. I would recommend trying the Prime Rib on the weekends, and definitely make it a point to experience the Sunday brunch, champagne is included!
Hidden gem in the South Metro – My wife and I have become big Chart House fans since we moved to Lakeville 3 years ago. When we?re in the mood for casual food, we get their outstanding burgers and appetizers (my wife says that the nachos are clearly prepared by nacho-lovers). However, we also go there for fine dining. When relatives visit, they always rave about the seafood, though my wife and I really enjoy their great array of steaks and the champagne chicken.
We like that we can bring our kids there, yet we can avoid imposing on adult couples or groups. When the weather is nice we walk the kids around the lakeside lawns and gardens while waiting for our food. We also love that when the weather is nice we can always find outdoor seating on their patios (which we?ve found is very rare in the Twin Cities?).
Even though it?s in Lakeville, we?re still able to get friends to meet us there because the food is great, the lakeside location is excellent, and it isn?t too far out in the suburbs (it?s close to Buck Hill and Burnsville Mall).
It is also worth noting that the brunches are as good as it gets ? especially the holiday brunches. My wife loves the breakfast-type food and I?m always very happy eating their plentiful dinner-type options on the buffet. We used to live in the West suburbs and would go to the nice lakeside brunches in that area. We haven?t gone out there since we discovered the Chart House.
Poor service, bad food. Should close or sell. – Went to Brunch for Easter and was very disappointed. Our reservations were for 10 AM, the time when Chart House opened. Most Sundays they have a champagne brunch but they don't supply ANY beverages on holidays. Even coffee was extra. For $27.95 per person I expect a beverage. No wonder the place was not full. Food was way below par also. Roast beef and ham on the carving table (no au jus for the beef). Servings were luke warm to cold. Omelets were okay but I've had just as good at Perkins for a lot less. The rolls and desserts weren't fresh. They were frozen and thawed causing them to be dry and stale. The desserts were so bad you couldn't identify what they were. Carrot cake with a lime sauce sprinkled across was just bad. I had to ask the waiter what one dessert was because there was no taste. He told us it was banana cake! Apparently someone forgot the bananas or when they thawed it out, the flavor went with the ice. Our waiter forgot my coffee and had to be reminded and again when I wanted a refill. This restaurant has went so far down hill that I don't think they can be saved. A huge waste of money. This is one of those Twin City restaurants you hope goes out of business. I'll do my part to help that happen. I won't be back.
the worst service ,prices , food – We went for my wifes birthday and it was a total disaster! Our waiter could not rember his name let alone all of our orders and did not write any thing down.We ordered prine rib and got a huge tastless piece of meat .The augraten potatoes were uncooked and terriable,the deep fried asparagus was cold and greasy.This place has gone to the dogs and the food is not fit for one.We are counting the days and can not wait for this place to be taken out of its misery!
Wilting Laurels – Allow me to begin by stating the Charthouse has been a family favorite for an age. My wedding was held on their lovely grounds. For better or worse, the Charthouse came under new management/ownership a few years ago and I believe that has led to its decline.
The Patio: For the last year the outdoor patio has been chronically understaffed. Without fail, the service starts out cheerfully promising, then degrades into a slow, chaotic experience. Our most recent visit lasted almost 2 hours... for burgers and wraps. Our waitress took almost 20 minutes to get drinking water on the table. Our orders weren't taken for 40 minutes. After well over an hour when the food finally was ready, our child's mac-n-cheese was left in the kitchen and it took another 10 minutes to retrieve it. (She's very patient for 3-1/2, but was about at the end of her rope and our food was getting cold.) We felt like we were a constant imposition on the waitstaff, but we couldn't seem to get anything with our first request (including drink refills, silverware, etc...). Sadly, this over-stretching of the staff (which results in poor service) seems to be the norm now rather than the exception.
The dining room: The decor remains the same as it's been for 20 years -- a classy, upscale dining room. Unfortunately, the menu, which once was rich with a wide palate of offerings, has been reduced to just a few selections under each heading. There is virtually nothing in the way of dish descriptions - ie: one will need to ask what type of pasta/rice/veggies will be served with each dish. (This led to 2 of our 4 party members being disappointed with their meals.) Our wholely unspectacular meal (pastas and steaks) totaled over $120 for four, and that did not include any specialty beverages. Service in the dining room, while (again) slow, was superior to the patio.
With service waning and an over-priced, over-simplified menu, I can no longer recommend the Charthouse for enjoyable dining.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The favorite sweet wine of millionaires, Chateau d'Yquem has, not unexpectedly, turned in a brilliant effort with their newly released 1989. It is a large-scaled, massively rich, unctuously-textured wine that should evolve effortlessly for a half century or more. It does not reveal the compelling..

"I would highly recommend this as a Save the Date for a couple who is looking for a stylish, classic look! The quality of the paper, the printing and the design are all simply outstanding. The design services were great and delivery was prompt. I added a little blingy to make it a little pretty. I am very happy!"
"Loved this unique destination wedding save the date card! It's customizable, so you can enter your wedding location and the map will change to match. Great alternative for a save the date if you don't have your engagement photos done yet (which would be us) or if you'd rather not upgrade to photo cards. Lots of cool options for fonts too - I thought ours ended up looking very trendy. The color quality is great too, almost a vintage look. We received a lot of compliments on them!"
"this card came out perfect! i had purchased a stamp with the tandom for two bike before even finding this card for favors at my wedding. i have gotten a lot of compliments from my guests and I highly recommend this item for a spring/summer vintage wedding."
"Love, love, love our Save The Date cards using this product. The beautiful colors in the pearl finish came out vibrant and matches our wedding colors perfectly. The paper quality is also beautiful. The note we wrote in the back made it more personal. I would definitely recommend this product if you are looking for an elegant but modern card."
"We ordered these for our upcoming wedding in Maui. I absolutely love how they turned out! Great quality, and I've received many compliments on them. We wanted ours to be vertical for the picture we were using, and it was no issue. We also changed the ink on the front to black. I would definitely recommend these."

Part V: Saddlebags Full Of Gold Coins
When Butch Cassidy and his bandit buddies rode into Brown's Hole the last week of July 1879, their saddlebags were loaded with gold coins from the Castle Gate holdup. Their first stop would have been Jarvie's Outpost to get the latest news. If there was anything going on in Brown's Hole, Jarvie would have know. It was probably at that location where he first learned about the death of Old Man Bender, the leader of the Powder Springs gang.
Jarvie's Outpost
Today, Jarvie's is now a tourist attraction with free admission. It has been restored and maintained so visitors can get a feel of what Jarvie's Outpost was like during the years when it was in operation.
John and Nellie Jarvie arrived in Brown's Hole during 1880. They lived in a dugout built by another man. That dugout is also restored and interesting to walk around in but beware of the low ceiling.
During 1881 Jarvie added the store and a ferry operation. The location the family chose on the far west side of Brown's Hole turned out to be a popular gateway. Since the Hole was mostly populated by those hiding from the law, mail was not delivered beyond its outer limits. Jarvie took on the task as postmaster. Those who were living in the Hole could pick up their mail at the outpost.
Jarvie's ferry was also an important addition to that remote country. It provided easy access to lands on the south side of the river. Stories can be found about those who fell off the ferry, but for the most part, its passengers stayed dry.
Perhaps the most important function the outpost provided was acting as a communications center. Travelers could learn about activities in all directions from the outpost. The closest store or town in any direction was more than 35 miles.
Jarvie was killed in 1909 by drifters who were after his money. They put his body in a boat and shoved it into the river. The boat with his body was found downstream days later.
Queen Of The Cattle Rustlers
Cassidy and his gang still had a long way to go after leaving Jarvie's. Powder Springs is located on the far-east outskirts of Brown's Hole. He may have stopped by the Bassett family ranch to visit with a young lady he was friendly with. Her name was Ann Bassett, and she was every bit as wild and as much a leader as Cassidy.
Ann had been raised among cattle rustlers and even had her own gang called the Bassett Gang to defend the land she claimed. When other cattle barons tried to move in, they quickly found her to be an opponent who would not be intimidated. In later years, when the law was moving into Brown's Hole, Ann was arrested twice for cattle rustling. She was never convicted and became known as the Queen of the Cattle Rustlers.
Today, Brown's Park is a beautiful place to visit. It has been mostly consumed by the Brown's Park National Wildlife Refuge. It seems ironic that a place where government once feared to tread is now almost completely managed by them.
The park has numerous campgrounds, boat ramps, picnic areas, and several restored structures. Rafting on the river is a popular pastime and the infamous Gates of LoDore launch is located on the east side for those who have permits to challenge the Rapids of LoDore. The Spanish called the river Rio San Buena Ventura, but we just know it as "The Green!"

Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre's Lear Khehkwaii
Empress Theatre, Fairbanks April 5-7 & May 10-12, 2013
Statewide April & May 2013
Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre (FST) is pleased to announce it will once again participate in the National Endowment for the Arts, Shakespeare in American Communities theatre initiative, Shakespeare for a New Generation. In cooperation with Arts Midwest, Shakespeare for a New Generation brings professional theater productions of Shakespeare and related educational activities to students in communities of all sizes throughout the country, particularly those of underserved schools and schools that lack access to the arts due to geography, economic condi-tions, ethnic background or disability in rural or urban communities. This is the third time FST will participate in this program that introduces middle and high school students to the power of live theatre and the masterpieces of William Shakespeare.
FST will be touring a 90 minute version of Shakespeare's King Lear inspired by Gwich'in language and culture, Lear Khehkwaii. The play is set in late 1800's Alaska, a time when Alaska Native cultures were introduced to western influences and when the King James Bible (originated in Shakespeare's time) was being translated into the Gwich'in language. Half of the script has been translated into the Gwich'in language and will be incorporated into the production and performed by a multi-cultural cast of eleven artists including native Gwich'in speakers, Alaska Native, Native American actors and FST company members. The project incorporates arts education and language revitalization through the live performance of one of the world's greatest story tellers, William Shakespeare.
Lear Khehkwaii, directed by Tom Robenolt and featuring Allan Hayton as Lear, will premiere at the Empress Theatre in Fairbanks on April 5, 6 & 7, 2013. The production will then tour to schools in Anchorage, Tok, Nenana, Healy, the Kenai Peninsula, Kotzebue, Nome and Arctic Village. The tour will end with matinees for Fairbanks students and final public performances at the Empress Theatre, May 10, 11 & 12, 2013.
For more information about Lear Khehkwaii and how you can contribute to this unique, multi-cultural, language revi-talization, theatre project visit www.fstalaska.org.

Review from the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, written by Scott McCrea.
FAIRBANKS — There's a claim that not a day goes by that "Our Town" isn't performed on some stage somewhere. Certainly believable, given the fact that Thornton Wilder's sentimental drama is considered the quintessential chestnut of American theater, with productions performed by small town community theater groups all the way to large stage revivals, most recently with a critically acclaimed run in Santa Monica starring Helen Hunt.
The fact that it is so popular, and that most regular attendees of theater have had some experience with "Our Town" at some point, poses a challenge for community theater groups to stage something that makes their version of "Our Town" unique from the myriad other productions out there.
Is the Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre version of "Our Town," directed by Ray Parshall and currently running at the Empress Theatre, that different from others out there? On some levels, yes. Ultimately though, it doesn't matter as the production is a superb one, with outstanding performances across the board.
What makes it so captivating is the subtle audience involvement. We don't feel like observers of "Our Town," we feel like inhabitants. This is in part due to the stage set up, with bleachers on either side of the stage facing each other, as well as the fact that characters mingle regularly among audience members.
It also helps that the production is staged at the Empress Theater, one of my favorite theater venues in Fairbanks. Located on top of the Co-Op Diner (a local iconic and nostalgic spot of sorts), we have to immerse ourselves directly into the heart of our town — the town of Fairbanks — to see the play.
The story of "Our Town" unfolds over a series of three acts and encapsulates a variety of themes familiar to all of us at some point — love, family, death, sorrow, community and more. Guiding us through the journey is the Stage Manager, played to perfection by b.d. Rogers. There is not a better actor or actress in all of Fairbanks who could have been chosen for this essential role of the being the play's narrator. His character is a down home and friendly one, wise and sentimental, and the type of person you would want in your town, the type of person you would want to saddle up next to at the local diner or bar and listen to him tell stories.
Though we are introduced to several residents of the town of Grover's Corner, the key focus in the play is on the lives of two families and neighbors -— the Webbs and the Gibbses. The Webbs' father, played by P.J. Gesin, is the editor of the local newspaper, while the Gibbses' father, played by John Welch Moffatt, is the local doctor. Their wives, Mrs. Webb (an excellent performance by Rebecca Eddy), and Mrs. Gibbs (Marjorie Grunin) are stay-at-home moms, who toil from sun-up to sundown taking care of their household.
Tying the two families together is the unfolding relationship of the teenagers, Emily Webb (Jessie Taylor) and George Gibbs (Jack O' Brien). They are perhaps the two characters that we end up caring for the most, and in each case, their performances were highly believable and absolutely captivating as we watch their relationship progress from being childhood friends in the first act, to love and marriage in the second, and to chilling tragedy in the third act.
The rest of the play's characters had fairly minor roles compared to the main players above, but well-done performances are delivered by Michael Riggenbach (Simon Stinson), Susie Hackett (Mrs. Soames) and Tom Moran (Professor Willard). And as if Rogers didn't have enough on his hands with the monologue-heavy role of Stage Manager, he takes on two additional roles as Howie Newsome and Joe Stoddard.
While FST's last production, "The Campaign," was chock full of eye candy, "Our Town" is about as sparse as you can get for set design, with one exception in the third act that was truly awesome (I use "awesome" because I love bacon, and will leave it at that). But that all ends up being OK, because the lack of props allows us to fully engross ourselves with the characters. The only time there was ever a distraction was through some of the moments where performers were pantomiming their actions, and at times, it wasn't clear on what exactly they were supposed to be doing.
"Our Town" runs through Dec. 9 with performances at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Make the trek downtown and join the community. You'll be glad you did.
For more information and tickets, contact FST at fstalaska.org or call 457-POET.
Perhaps one of the more difficult forms of theater for your average audience member to comprehend is the style known as "Theatre of the Absurd." It was a style that emerged after World War II with playwrights such as Samuel Beckett and Jean Genet. Theater critic and scholar Martin Esslin, who coined the phrase, wrote "The Theatre of the Absurd attacks the comfortable certainties of religious or political orthodoxy. It aims to shock its audience out of complacency, to bring it face to face with the harsh facts of the human situation as these writers see it."
It's not a style of theater common in Fairbanks, though the late Theatre UAF professor Anatoly Antohin would often times delve into the arena in his productions. Those wanting to get a dose of this world can do so with the Fairbanks Shakespeare Theater production of "Campaign: The Spectacle." But in the case of this play, it's more like an overdose.
Written by a local playwright who chose for some reason to remain anonymous, "Campaign" is a dark satire that focuses on how our presidential election would be if the whole political process was reduced to a one-night game show, with three candidates competing for the seat in the oval office.
It's a great concept with enormous potential and most definitely is a timely production. The show features an accomplished director (Tom Robenolt), an exceptionally talented cast with some great newcomers to the Fairbanks theater scene, a vibrant and dynamic set, and one damn good rock and roll band. All of the pieces were there to make this into something truly wonderful — the missing element being, unfortunately, a rock solid script.
"Campaign," more than anything, seems to suffer from an identity crisis as far as not being entirely sure of what kind of play it wants to be or how it wants us, as audience members, to react or feel. There are moments when the focus is almost there — where you really feel as if you are understanding the message and what the show is conveying. Then, all of a sudden, a harlequin rides by on a tricycle and throws popcorn in your face and you're back to square one, scratching your head (which is now covered in popcorn) and trying to figure out what exactly is going on.
Having said that, you won't at any point be bored with the production nor will you find yourself looking at your watch. The play demands your attention from the beginning. Everything is loud and colorful and larger than life with non-stop eye candy. The actors don't just appear on stage, they consume it, pulling you into their characters and world whether you want to join them or not. John Moffat leads the way as the frenetic master of ceremonies, Cash, who changes his personality just as much as his wardrobe; Levi Rion Ben-Israel as the aforementioned harlequin, who packs the energy of an entire power plant into his performance; Rakeem Edwards as Mr. Washington, the gyrating and smooth-talking incumbent; and Julia Hnilicka as the Palin-esque candidate Ms. Patterson, whose treatment in the show is unnerving at times.
The character that captivated me the most was that of the third candidate, Mr. Pupet (think "puppet"), played by Ian Tully. Tully didn't have a lot of dialogue to work with, but his stage movements were some of the best I have seen and he displayed physical talents that took in a performance of their own.
The audience is pulled into the show as well, getting a chance to ask candidates questions and even partaking in a game on stage. Interesting approach but ultimately not the most effective. You want your audience to become involved and engaged, but you don't want them to sit through the show being nervous that they might be forced to join in on the action.
The band, consisting of James Bartlett, Cassidy Phillips, Isaiah Kane and Gavin Hage, were spot on in their musical delivery and took the already high energy of the show from a 10 to an 11. Scenic designer Gary Graves, scenic artist Greg Gustafson and video/TV designer Chris John George team up to create a set that is a spectacle of its own, complete with a bank of 22 televisions showing a variety of footage ranging from news clips to cartoons throughout the show. There's even a cameraman who follows characters as they go off stage, and the audience gets to see what happens on the screens.
Despite the above criticisms, I do want to applaud FST for being willing to roll the giant dice and take a chance on a local playwright as well as featuring a play that is far outside the norm of your typical local theater. "Campaign: The Spectacle" might not be quite ready for prime time just yet, but as I said before, the potential to do so is certainly there.
Robert Hannon, writing for the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner says, "Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre's talented cast and crew allow all the elements Shakespeare introduced in 'Henry IV, Part I' to shine;" and continues, "After 20 years, Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre has matured into a seasoned company."

Now this may sound pathetic but I have only 2 rune pages... one AD rune set and one AP rune set,
But I cannot decide on how to make my AP rune set, for ex:
- Quint of AP x3
- Flat Armor x9
- Scaling MR x9
- M.Pen x9
This is my current rune set, but I used to play with Scaling AP instead of MR and bought some health instead of armor... I just need a very basic rune setup so is this current set ok? or what should I do? (don't tell me you need rune sets for different champs i know but I just need a general rune set)

His memory of when he was in Faery with the Seelie Princess = V'Lane's Princess.
Barrons describes the Seelie Pincess as empty
Barrons says that he himself was was full
When Mac is turned Priya - she says she tasted the emptiness within them - The three Unseelie Princes
So the Unseelie Princes are Empty.
The forth felt strange - not the same as the Unseelie Princes.
Mac says that the more the Unseelie princes fill her the emptier she is.
When Mac becomes Pri-ya - she describes it as an endless emptiness.
To Pri-ya Mac Dani is other than empty.
To Pr-iya Mac Barrons is what will fill all that is empty.
The flesh recognizes its own.
I was going somewhere with this - Dang it all -
Had a brain fart -
Under a Blood Moon
To continue this, if we follow the info we have been given, we know from Mac that the unseelie are 'empty' and we know from Barrons that the seelie are also 'empty', we also learn from Darroc:
The emptiness does not appear to be caused by longevity, because Barrons is also ancient. Therefore, it would seem to be a fae trait rather than a seelie/unseelie trait. Therefore, following that logic, Barrons is not fae. Or at least not TDD.His new form felt more than mere need. The ennui and dispassion of immortality began to melt away. The fear of death awakened unexpected facets of his nature. Emotion stirred in him sensations that being Fae never had and never could.
Thank you I knew there was a path started - I just fell off of it.
Ohhh - the Darroc POV - excellent.
Do we have one from Adam?????
Dang it all - fell off the path again -
it's just too close to Barrons and the de-Pri-ya-fication -
All of that MALE just distracts me.
How did Karen ever handle writing it all down -
If these babies are baptized, their souls return to God upon death.
If they are not baptized thus still having original sin, they pass to ... Limbo.
Adam is only half TDD to be able to reside in QA's court~
His mother had to have been a princess or queen at one time,
His father had to have been a prince or King of the Daoine Court~
Which would make Adam an exception to the TDD Seelie rule. Perhaps that was one of the reasons he was
considered 'a fool'. Halfbreed.
Didn't QA say once that she threatened a souless death to one of her Fae, or something like that? Then she would know about a fae dying and entering a human realm to possibly get a soul. Did the princess Barrons killed do that?Originally Posted by smi492
So just throwing out a thought I had when reading this: Fae don't have souls, but if, when they die, they pass over to the human realm as babies, then they would gain a soul, right? I know completely off topic, but my mind is so tired tonight.
And didn't Barrons make the remark abiout the fools not even reconizing him, That they drank from the cup to forget as if that radicated ther sins.
Is this part of why they drink to forget? To keep on existing so they don't die and pass into a human realm to possibly gain a human soul to be judged on thier sins when thier human body with thie new soul dies?
Macs remark about an only good Fae is a dead fae, because if they die and pass on to earth realm, gain a soul, they will be judged on their sind when they die!!
And which human realm would they be passed on to? Our human earth or Concubines human world? Maybe thats why UK wanted his concubine so bad, she was the dead fae Queen passed to human realm, (concubines world) the one he killed and he wanted to remake the SOM to make her queen again...
Which brings ne too this. It kind of goes with what i posted on Justine's post in another thread.
If QA is no longer, would she pass on into a human realm as a baby? Would she retain the memories of her Queen rein? Would she pass on to the baby she now is, any of her Fae-ness or powers she has as Queen?
Who would she be????

text: I don't have one and I don't install them but I can tell you they are not what their hype would have you believe. If you are in a cold climate (winter) you will probably not have really hot water. Tankless require frequent cleaning and service which is not cheap. They require mega amounts of power, either gas or electric, and most homes do not have a gas line or electrical service large enough to provide the power and increasing either of them is expensive. When the cost of the tankless and installation is figured in, most studies have shown tankless are not anywhere near the cost saver that they are touted to be. You can search the archives of this forum and read what others have reported yourself, but I would suggest you do a great deal of research and study before you go the tankless route. It's too bad they aren't that good yet, maybe someday they will be but for now, I'd run the other way.

John 20:24-29
Introductory Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank you for the gift of faith I received with baptism. I believe all that you have revealed, though I recognize that my faith is still small. I now submerge my weak faith in your overflowing goodness and mercy, and I trust in you completely. I love you, my Lord and my God, with all my mind, heart, soul and strength.
Lord, increase my faith.
1. "I Will Not Believe."
Lord, I live in a culture where I have to know everything. If there are no facts, if I lack evidence, then I refuse to believe. At times, Lord, even with facts and evidence in front of me, I still refuse to believe. I know, Lord, that faith calls for man "to commit his entire self to God" ( Dei Verbum 5). Thomas refuses to do this when the apostles share the exciting news: "We have seen the Lord" (John 20:25). But their news does not correspond to what Thomas knows. He knows that you died. Maybe he went to the tomb on Saturday. He would have seen the guards stationed there and would have imagined that there was no way to take you from the tomb. Do I come up with convincing reasons not to believe? If I do, how can I answer better through faith?
2. "Do Not Be Unbelieving, But Believe."
Lord, Thomas looks at you in the Upper Room as you say this. I recall the words: "Everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32). You invite Thomas to take that step of faith: to leave behind what he knows and to accept your Resurrection. He had seen you raise Lazarus, and now you invite him to believe that you yourself are forever alive. You are God, both living and true. There in the Upper Room, you invite me, as you did Thomas, to believe that you are alive in my life. Lord, I want you to have a strong presence in my life.
3. "Blessed Are Those Who Have Not Seen, and Have Believed."
Lord, I cannot make it to heaven without faith. Your words to Thomas allude to what lies in store for me if I believe until death. I was not alive when you walked on the earth, but in the light of what you say to Thomas, I have all the more reason to exercise my faith and pray as Thomas did: "My Lord and my God." You desire my faith, Lord, just as you desired Thomas'. How great you are, Lord! "Faith is first and foremost a personal adherence of man to God" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 150). I want to adhere to you, my Lord and my God.
Conversation with Christ:
Lord, I believe that you want to be a great part of my life.
You want to be the Lord of it. My faith is so little.
Help me to increase my faith. Give it what it needs to grow.
Today during the day I will read numbers 150-152 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church about faith, so as to work to increase my faith in God.

A survey of Milwaukee's Indian population, 1962
The Milwaukee Indian: a cooperative study by the Governor's Commission on Human Rights and the School of Social Work, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
In the 1940s and 1950s, the federal government moved to end its financial responsibility to tribes based on a tribe's satisfactory degree of acculturation to white ways and economic self-sufficiency. The termination plan was accompanied by an urban relocation program that encouraged Indians to leave their reservations for vocational training and more mainstream lives in urban areas. Many Wisconsin Indians came to Milwaukee. In 1961, the Governor's Commission on Human Rights initiated a survey of Milwaukee's Indian population to determine how Indians were faring in the city. 140 Indians from 100 families participated in the survey, providing information on education, military service, religion, employment, and family life. While the authors sought to remain impartial, some biased generalizations were made that reflect the social and cultural feelings of the 1960s.

Dear Colleagues,
In hopes of providing you more information about the academic issues you consider important, I am pleased to share the first edition of this periodic e-newsletter from my office.
In each edition we plan to include concise but informative articles about academic initiatives, program updates, resource allocation, research and scholarship, individual and collective achievements, challenges we face, opportunities we can embrace and many other topics that impact the work all of us do on behalf of our students and the community.
I'm sure you'll agree there is a great deal to talk about. At the same time, I know we all have many demands on our time attention. As such, I hope the Academic Update will serve as a quick and convenient springboard for broader conversations, as well as a source of news and information you may find interesting.
I hope you'll take a moment to read and enjoy these communications. I look forward to hearing about any insights and ideas they inspire you to share.
Thank you,
Start-up funds help advance OU's research mission
Dr. Xiangqun Zeng – front row, third from left, stands with her fall 2010 research team.
The collaborative commitment between the university and its academic units to advance institutional research goals has continued to grow in recent years, and there are numerous examples of considerable success it has generated.
Over the past five years, more than $2.5 million has been allocated in research start-up funding, and this is helping to attract top-notch researchers, win external grant support for new research initiatives and build on an already strong foundation of investigative endeavor in a wide array of academic disciplines.
This year alone, OU faculty have pursued $105 million in external grant funding, which is more than double the amount pursued just two years ago. To date, our researchers have won roughly $19 million, or nearly one-fifth, of the funding they've sought this year.
Clearly our efforts are leading to positive outcomes, which makes our commitment to allocating research seed money all the more rewarding. Just one example of this success is the work of Dr. Xiangqun Zeng, associate professor of analytical chemistry.
Over the last nine years, Dr. Zeng has secured more than $5 million in external funding for her work. Her current investigations seek to develop and optimize low-cost, highly sensitive chemical sensors for use in detecting the presence of explosive gases, as well biosensors used to detect harmful bacteria and monitor the effectiveness of breast cancer treatments.
"All of this work is progressing toward real-world applications and we are just so excited that we're moving in that direction," Dr. Zeng said. "I also feel very rewarded because my students and post-docs are doing so well. They're growing as scientists and becoming very competitive researchers."
Given the benefits to the institution, its students and society in general, Dr. Zeng feels the commitment to providing research start-up funds represents an excellent investment.
Despite budgetary challenges, board's eye is on academics
For those who did not have the chance to attend the
July Board of Trustees meeting
or to follow up on board action, several agenda items may be of interest.
Trustees approved our FY2011 budget with some level of concern about the state's continuing economic struggles and the prospect of a 3.1 percent cut to university revenue. The current budget anticipates state support at roughly $2.4 million less than the allocation the university received 10 years ago.
Despite this, academic program and service improvements remain a priority. This year's focuses include a boost in library collections, support for the Writing Center, general education program support and a number of faculty appointments and promotions.
Congratulations and gratitude go out to
Dr. Robert Stewart
, who has been appointed associate dean of the College of Arts & Sciences and professor of psychology with tenure, as well as
Dr. David Dulio
, chair of Political Science;
Dr. Samuel Rosenthall
, chair of Linguistics;
Dr. James F. Cipielewski
, associate professor of education and chair for the Department of Reading and Language Arts;
Dr. Diane Norris
, assistant professor and acting dean for the School of Nursing; and
Dr. Gopalan Srinivasan
, distinguished professor of physics and acting chair of the Department of Physics. Additionally,
Dr. David Spencer
has been appointed interim executive director of Smartzone Development (OU INC).
Personnel actions also included 19 tenure promotions, 43 assistant professor reappointments and 11 special instructor reappointments. For a detailed list of personnel actions, download the
board report

Honorees made outstanding contributions to American culture
The world lost two legendary performers this year, both of whom Oakland University had the privilege of presenting honorary degrees.
Hank Jones
Pianist and jazz legend
Hank Jones
died on May 16 at 91 years old. He received an honorary Doctorate in the Humanities in May 2007.
The Pontiac native was among the most sought after musicians in jazz, having worked with countless fellow legends including Billy Eckstine, Colman Hawkins, Ella Fitzgerald, Artie Shaw, Johnny Hodges and Benny Goodman. He also accompanied Marilyn Monroe's historic performance of "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to John F. Kennedy.
With a career spanning more than 70 years and performances on more than 500 albums, Jones is recognized among the most influential artists in the development of jazz as a musical genre.
Doris Eaton Travis
– a dancer, actress, author and supporter of the performing arts and higher education – died on May 11 at the age of 106. She accepted an honorary Doctorate in the Humanities from Oakland in May 2004.
Doris Eaton Travis
The youngest performer ever in the Ziegfeld Follies, Travis performed with stars including Will Rogers, Eddie Cantor, W.C. Fields and Fannie Brice. She also was among the last surviving non-child actors who appeared in silent films.
During the Depression, Travis began teaching at the Arthur Murray Studios of Social Dance in Detroit. She later became the owner of 18 Arthur Murray dance studios – a business enterprise she managed for three decades.
Before bestowing the honorary degree, OU presented Travis with a Distinguished Community Service Award in recognition of her having established the Doris and Paul Travis Professor Program. Her generous contribution was single largest gift in the College of Arts and Sciences' history.
It was with a great sense of wonder and appreciation that the Oakland University community honored both of these artists, and it is with a great sense of regret that it acknowledges their passing.

Peel Regional Police say someone deliberaly shot a bullet through the window of an Ardglen Drive townhouse last night, but they don't know who the intended target was.
In a news conference late this afternoon, police said the bullet that killed 9-year-old Kesean Williams was shot from outside, and hit the little boy in the head as he sat in the living room watching television.
He was at home with his 15-year-old brother at the time.
It happened at 10:26 p.m. Wednesday. The youngster died in hospital early Thursday morning.
Kesean, his mom and brother had moved to the townhouse at 51 Ardglen Dr., in the area of Kennedy Road and Clarence Street, last weekend. They had moved to Brampton from Hamilton last September, and that's when Kesean enrolled in Grade 4 at Sir Winston Churchill Public School.
Police are conducting an intensive investigation, interviewing hundreds of residents, as well as witnesses and anyone connected to the townhouse.
Some people were seen running from the area, but police have received "various" descriptions from several witnesses, and they are going through that information as they continue to gather evidence.
Police Chief Jennifer Evans said her officers will work "tirelessly" in their bid to apprehend those responsible, but she said she wanted to assure the community that it was not a "stray bullet" that killed Kesean, as was reported in some media.
Meanwhile, police are casting a wide net in the investigation.
"We can't rule anything out at this time," said Acting Supt. George Koekkoek.
He said it is "appalling" and "unfathomable" to think that anyone would target "this young, innocent child".

SSGT Pameticky entered the Iowa NG in 1929 at the age of 16, (records indicate a birthdate of March 13, 1911, and actual date was March 11, 1913) he first deployed with the 133rd to N.
