AURORA — The Paramount will wrap up its second Broadway musical season with the family classic "Fiddler on the Roof," Artistic Director Jim Corti announced Thursday.
Winner of nine Tony awards, "Fiddler on the Roof" is a musical journey of love, loss, faith and family, and ultimately, a celebration of life and all its challenges, said the Paramount's Jay Kelly. The show will run March 6 to 24.
Set in Tsarist Russia in 1905, "Fiddler" tells the story of Tevye, a simple and loving milkman, who does everything he can to maintain his family and their religious traditions. With five strong-willed daughters, a loyal yet independent wife and an ever-changing society, the safety and stability of his old world is disappearing.
Corti said the show boasts a stellar cast.
"It's our privilege to tell this story, sing and dance these cherished melodies and bring our audience the experience that is librettist Joseph Stein's, lyricist Sheldon Harnick's, and composer Jerry Bock's American musical masterpiece," Corti said.
Single tickets are $34.90 to $46.90. Performance times are at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday; 7:30 p.m. Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday; 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday; and 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday. "Fiddler on the Roof" is rated G.
For tickets and information, call the Paramount at 630-896-6666; visit the Pramount box office at 23 E. Galena Blvd., Aurora, open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday; or visit the theater online at ParamountAurora.com.
To date, the Paramount Theatre's self-produced "Better than Broadway" musicals have played to nearly 20,000 subscribers.

Beach Homes & Condos in the Fiji Islands
Fiji Map
(click to enlarge)
The Republic of the Fiji Islands are an island nation in the South Pacific Ocean. It lies approximately 2000 km north of New Zealand's North Island. Fiji is made up of over 300 islands with 110 being permanently inhabited. The 2 main islands within Fiji are Vanua Levu, and Viti Levu and account for nearly 90% of the 850,000 persons that live in this island nation. Viti Levu is home to the capital & largest city in Fiji called Suva.
For those persons that are desiring to purchase one of the Fiji homes for sale that are currently available, this is a great time to buy your new dream home. It is important to note that the Fiji real estate market can be challenging, and as such, its good to have a professional real estate agent representing your interests.
Only approximately 9% of Fiji real estate is available by freehold purchase. Fiji has also grown in popularity with the tourist industry and should continue to grow in popularity, so it is important to identify what type of property you are wanting for your needs: seclusion, investment, etc. For those persons desiring to cash in on the tourist industry, your best bet is going to be on Viti Levu or Vanua Levu - both of those are the commercial powerhouses for Fiji. For those desiring seclusion, one of the outlying islands would be a good choice.
There are 2 main types of acquisition: freehold, and leasehold. Each type has different conditions and regulations so it is important that you have a realtor that is able to protect your interests to determine which choice is best for you.
Also, since Fiji is made up of over 300 islands, it is important that your "dream" property doesn't turn out to be a wave battered atoll (or worse). You need a good local representative that can provide insight on where the more desirable property locations are likely to be.

Long story short, we have always homeschooled, and had planned to for the duration of our kids' school careers. But life has changed a lot in the last 2 years. DH lost his job, we have moved twice, I had to go back to work, DH really couldn't be the homeschooling parent (he just didn't have the personality/patience to do it) and it just won't be feasible to homeschool our girls anymore. Dh is starting a new job soon, I am working as well, and I am trying to go back to school, all in the name of getting our family to a better place.
DD2 is 5 and will be starting kindergarten next week. I think she will be fine; it's early in the game and she is above and beyond excited about going. What I am worried about is DD1. She is 9, and we took a very relaxed almost unschooly approach when we started out. I am positive her reading is on a 4th grade level, she likes to read graphic novels as well as horror/mystery fiction, we read together all the time and she has surprised me by how far she has come with her reading. I am very concerned about math though. That has been a big struggle for both of us, it took a little while to find a curriculum that we both liked, there was a big power struggle going on between us when we'd work on math together too, in addition to all the transitions and big changes we've had in the last couple years. I know she is at a second grade level in math. It has been hard to keep a consistent schedule to work on it with her; she picks up on what we are learning really quickly but at the moment we have only made it as far as adding/subtracting without regrouping. I am really beating myself up over the fact that we lost so much time and couldn't get it together to help her more in this area. I feel like such a failure because I know she'll be so far behind and I think of all the things I could have done differently. Like I should have just stuck her in school from the get-go. Or I could have pushed her harder (but I don't see how, it has was so hard to motivate her and get her to cooperate up until recently). Argh I feel like I screwed it all up.
How will this work? If we start her in school are they going to keep her back in 3rd grade because of her math level? Will they put her in 4th but give her extra help to get her up to speed? I am so worried that they will look at me like I'm a negligent mother or something because she's behind. I am also worried that this is going mess with her self-esteem, she is a really sensitive kid. I feel like even though my intentions were good I just completely screwed things up regarding my little girl's education.
I know that she will probably be fine. I need advice from people that have done this before on what to expect in this situation.

Preview: Baylor at Texas Christian
Struggling Texas Christian will be hampered by another injury as the Horned Frogs prepare for Wednesday's visit from Baylor. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that TCU leading scorer Kyan Anderson suffered a bruised shoulder during Saturday's loss to Iowa State and did not practice Monday but should play against Baylor. The Horned Frogs, who have lost 10 straight, have eight scholarship players and starters Amric Fields and Karviar Shepherd are each playing with a broken hand.
"It's unbelievable," second-year TCU coach Trent Johnson told the Star-Telegram. "We can't practice hard like we need to. It's a decision I have to make: What is the best way to get them ready to play without re-injuring them." The Bears are also struggling, sitting two games ahead of last-place TCU after losing seven of eight. Baylor's offense and defense have both suffered since the Bears rose to a top-10 ranking in January.
TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPNU
ABOUT BAYLOR (14-9, 2-8 Big 12): The Bears are averaging 68.8 points in Big 12 play - down 10 points from their 12-1 run in non-conference play - and are allowing nearly 10 more points as conference foes shoot 47.8 percent from the field. Cory Jefferson leads the Bears with 12.4 points on 51.3 percent shooting and 7.9 rebounds and Brady Heslip, who has started the past four games, adds 11.3 points and is shooting 47 percent from the 3-point line. Isaiah Austin adds 10.5 points for the Bears, who are 14-4 when holding an opponent under 50 percent shooting and 0-5 when allowing 50 percent or better.
ABOUT TEXAS CHRISTIAN (9-13, 0-10): The Frogs rank 304th out of 345 NCAA Division I teams in scoring (65.2 points), 313th in field-goal percentage (41) and 337th in rebounding margin (minus-6.8). Anderson, who became the 32nd player in school history to reach 1,000 career points after a season-high 27 against Iowa State, leads TCU with 15.7 points. Fields adds 13.9 points and 6.1 rebounds and Shepherd averages 8.4 points and 7.2 rebounds.
1. Baylor leads the series 92-81 and has won the three Big 12 meetings by an average of 20.3 points.
2. Baylor G Kenny Chery (turf toe) missed the win against Oklahoma State on Feb. 1 and has recorded three points and zero assists in 20 minutes off the bench in the past two games.
3. The Horned Frogs have been outrebounded by 13.5 boards during Big 12 play, including a 52-25 margin in an 88-62 loss to Baylor on Jan. 11.
PREDICTION: Baylor 75, Texas Christian 62

|On Jerry Murray's Passing
|Written by Mike Buetow
|Friday, 18 January 2013 09:13
We at UP Media are, of course, very sad and distressed to hear the news of of our former colleague Jerry Murray's passing.
Jerry worked for UPMG and its predecessors for more than 20 years. I came late to that party, but I worked with Jerry for five years and think of him every day. As a matter of fact, just before I received the news that he had died, at age 82, I was making plans for coming to San Diego for the IPC Apex show, and I was thinking about where to meet him.
I think of Jerry almost every day, and I am so sorry that he's gone. He was one of a kind, in the best of ways. Who else had a life like his? He lived in the hottest places on earth and the coldest places on earth. He wrote and wrote and wrote some more: technical, pulp fiction, you name it. He married the love of his life, Suzie, one of the kindest persons I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was funny and warm and cranky and quirky, sometimes all at once. He knew so much about so many things and was always happy to share it. He had a great life. I'm glad I came along in time to share a little piece of it.
I will be sad, and will cry and mourn my friend. But today I'm just glad he got to live the life most of us dream of.
RIP, my friend.

Expect zero discount for what is already on site. You got a do-it-yourself project.
Just purchased a second home. Yard was trenched to add an irrigation system and some but not all trenches have pvc pipe in them and even some have been capped at specific irrigation sprinkler head locations. For whatever reason they never finished. Trenches were not filled back in. However there is nothing attached to the house. There further appears to be a rain guage of some sort installed on roof.
Question is .. is it worth completing the job ? I am not sure the house is worth a huge yard expense. PErhaps 1/4 to 1/2 acre (closer to 1/4) is to be irrigated. What are my considerations as I suspect a company will just charge me from scratch although the trenching is done already. Not sure really. What would the estimated remaining costs be for the connection to the water line at house, manifold, timers, etc.
Thanks to all in advance. Love this forum.

Tai Chi and Qi Gong
Topic Overview
What are tai chi and qi gong?
Tai chi and qi gong (say "chee goong") are traditional Chinese movement exercises. They are based on two ideas:
- Energy, called qi or chi, flows through the body along "energy pathways" called meridians. If the flow of chi is blocked or unbalanced at any point on a pathway, it is thought that you may become ill. You do tai chi and qi gong to increase energy (chi or qi) flow and improve health through gentle, graceful, repeated movements.
- Nature, including the body, consists of opposing forces called yin and yang. Good health results when these forces are in balance. You do tai chi and qi gong movements in an attempt to help restore the body's balance of yin and yang.
Tai chi is a series of movements done either very slowly or quickly to help move the body's chi. People use tai chi as a way to combine meditation and movement and to improve and maintain health.
Qi gong involves different movements that may be done in different orders. Some common qi gong movements include raising and lowering the arms, moving the head from side to side, and gently rubbing the ears, feet, and hands.
What are tai chi and qi gong used for?
People may use tai chi and qi gong to improve posture, balance, coordination, endurance, and flexibility and to maintain good health and quality of life. One study found that tai chi boosts immunity and resistance to the shingles virus in older adults. 1
Are tai chi and qi gong safe?
As with any physical activity, people who perform tai chi or qi gong may experience muscle strains or sprains. Gentle stretching before a tai chi or qi gong session can prevent most injuries.
In most cases, you can safely use tai chi or qi gong alongside conventional medical treatments.
Always tell your doctor if you are using an alternative therapy or if you are thinking about combining an alternative therapy with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to forgo your conventional medical treatment and rely only on an alternative therapy.

"We didn't make drastic changes to the Constitution," he said. "We didn't feel drastic changes were necessary."
It's not that no "drastic changes" were made; few really expected that outcome. But rather, it's that Brewer, an outspoken critic of many of the state Constitution's unwieldy and regressive features, would feel that "drastic changes were not necessary."
The problem may be what is meant by "drastic." The Constitutional Revision Commission was created in 2011 to rewrite the much-amended 1901 document article-by-article. Back then reformers hoped it would come up with more than getting rid of obsolete articles on corporations and banking.
High on the wishlist of many Alabamians was that the commission would recommend ways counties could enjoy some degree of home rule. What the group produced was the recommendation that "specific administrative powers" be granted to Alabama's counties. The details aren't yet clear, but it's clear they won't be "drastic" enough to allow truly local government democracies to flourish.
There is, however, one bright spot. The commission's proposal was the result of a joint effort by the Association of County Commissioners and ALFA, two groups that have considerable clout in Montgomery. If they can continue to work together to get the "specific administrative powers" defined and granted, Alabama counties might be a bit closer to enjoying home rule.
However, if the "specific administrative powers" that are eventually granted to the counties do little to secure home rule in a meaningful way, Gov. Brewer's observation that the commission "did not feel drastic changes were necessary" might be looked back on not as a realistic assessment of the situation, but rather as waving the flag of surrender.
If that proves to be the case, we can expect little real revision from this Constitutional Revision Commission.

Atlanta >The Westin Buckhead Atlanta
3391 Peachtree Road, NE, Atlanta, GA | Directions 3032633.848763 -84.364849
Daily 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: North Buckhead, Northside, Northside
Beware! Westin Buckhead Employs Convicted Felons! – Heads up to all Atlanta tourists... The Westin Buckhead (3391 Peachtree Rd NE Atlanta, Ga), adjacent to Lenox mall, employs convicted felons! One such felon, who works in the Banquet department, has been convicted of credit card theft, credit card fraud & firearm possession! As a consumer, I find it disturbing that a brand such as Starwood Hotels would allow these type of individuals to represent their establishments. I wonder what type of background checks, if any, are being conducted! In this economy, there are probably thousands of well qualified, honest & hospitable people that would make great employees! Starwood/Westin is not some scum brand of hotel that shouldn't be able to hold their employees to a higher standard.
Great Hotel BUT... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Great Hotel BUT..... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Lovely hotel – This was my second time staying here and once again it was a great hotel. Quick check in, special event room upgrade (corner room with views on both sides AND over the tub) was so great, and overall cleanliness of the room was all on point. Loved the double shower head. I love the Westin and I recommend this hotel to all my friends.
Yes you pay for internet and parking and probably for breathing their air, but that's the norm in Atlanta. Paying for parking will be for every hotel 4 star and above (at least the nice ones) and internet fees were listed for all 4 stars I checked.
A great atmosphere! – The Westin in Buckhead is not only a great atmosphere it is very clean and a great place to see celebrities. Last time I was there I saw PDiddy and Chris Brown. The hotel staff was very friendly and informative. When ever I have guest in town they always stay at the West and love it!
Great service and rooms – This is one of the best hotels in Atlanta. I was there for a Christmas party and everything was perfect. Rooms were spacious very quiet and well equipped.
Beautiful Hotel, Friendly Staff, Great for Meetings/Events – As a Pharmaceutical Event Planner, I held 3 Business Meetings here in 2006 - ranging from 40 attendees to 130 attendees.
Every time they did a phenomenal job! The staff makes you feel like family, the catering is amazing, and the public space & guest rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. Even if you are here for a personal stay, you will enjoy the atmosphere and the cocktail hour in the Lobby and not feel like you are overwhelmed by what business mtgs or corporate groups are there at the Hotel.
Its location next door to the Lenox Mall and within walking distance to restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining makes it even more appealing.
You will receive consistent, quality service at the Westin Buckhead!!
Interesting experience – My wife and I are avid travelers and have stayed at a spectrum of hotels around the world. We do not consider ourselves snobby or picky about our accomidations and understand no place is perfect.
With that being said, I would like to share our experience with other travelers when it comes to the Westin Buckhead. We stayed at this hotel just last night. Our room rate was $400 per night.
At midnight as my wife and I were sleeping, we awoke to the sound of clanging dishes and metallic dish covers from the hallway just outside our door. I looked through the peephole and saw a large figure outside our door standing over a roomservice tray across the hall. I could hear him frantically eating the food off the tray. It turned out that he was a drunk thug looking for food.
He then began to throw-up all over the floor and continued to eat the food knocking dishes and dishcovers on the floor. As the odor entered our room I immediately called the operator asking for security. I actually had to beg the operator to send someone up. A securty guard showed up 5 minutes later and began yelling at this guy. A screaming match ensued between the two of them. As we listened to this agrument, my wife and I began packing our bags. I called the front desk, spoke with the Manager Deidre who was polite. She refunded my money and we checked out immediately.
Here is my take on the Westin in Buckhead. There is no security at this hotel. In retrospect, I noticed there was no security guard checking room keys at the elevators, the parking deck is unattended and I had to fully explain myself to the operator in order to get help. These are basic security concepts for a four star hotel in a large city.
In my opinion, this hotel is not safe. I would NEVER let my wife or children stay here.
BEST HOTEL EVER. – This hotel is the best! Made reservations which included multiple upgrades using Starpoints (check into that) and talked with helpful customer service representatives to make sure that everything was perfect. Then upon arrival the front desk personnel were very professional. The hotel decor was beautiful and artsy. The upgraded room on the Executive Floor was FANTASTIC - the view, the bed, the double shower heads and all the little details like chocolate on the beds and the housemaid cleaning the room more than once a day!!!! We left at 11am and returned to a clean room, messed it up again and left at 5pm and came back to a clean room AGAIN! There must be an alarm that goes off if a bed is unmade and we leave the room! LOL! The Executive Floor had an Executive Lounge with COMPLIMENTARY drinks, hors d'oeuvre's, water, fruit, breakfast and the ABSOLUTE BEST DESSERT SPREAD I HAVE TASTED IN A LONG TIME!!!! We lounged in front of the plasma tv while drinking mixed drinks and nibbling on different hors d'oeuvre's and fruit and then the dessert spread was awesome. There were several lounges within walking distance (Milan in the Crowne Plaza was great for appetizers, drinks and a live jazz band), Dante's is right across the street and Lenox Mall was a 3 minute walk across the street with several spots over there. Westin was the best and everything was PERFECT.
A luxury hotel with modern decor within walking distance of Buckhead's fashionable stores and restaurants. – The Scene
This sleek, sophisticated 22-story white tower is an appropriate introduction to the hotel's equally modern interior. Formerly the Swissotel, the new owners have kept the modern design and elegance the Swissotel was famous for. Its glass-enclosed lobby showcases tasteful sculptures and paintings, while the Palm steakhouse and several small boutiques round out the inside. All this luxury is situated in the heart of Buckhead's business and shopping district. Lenox Square Mall is next door, and Phipps Plaza is down the street.
The Details
Amenities include all sorts of extras like valet services, a health and massage center with 24-hour fitness club, and secretarial services. The Westin has upped the luxury quotient with the "Heavenly Bath," marble bathrooms complete with dual showerheads and the "Heavenly Bed" piled high with a pillow-top mattress set, down blankets, well-fluffed pillows and sheets with thread counts far above 200.

Looks like Google isn't the only one making sure that when a user talks, the iPhone listens. Vlingo wrote in to tell us that their well-known BlackBerry app is now available for the iPhone, and it sure looks like they've been listening as well!
Vlingo lets you:
Google works pretty well, but doesn't include contact search (and seems to have trouble with British, Southern, or anything other than TV-ized North American accents.)
Vlingo does search contacts, and does a good job of it (and even suggests alternatives, which is welcome when it has trouble distinguishing between individuals with close-sounding names). However, unlike Google (which uses forbidden API's to access the phone-like "lift to your ear and start talking" functionality) you have to press a button, then talk, then press a button again when you're finished. There are helpful tutorials included to get you used to the process and on your way.
Gallery after the jump! [gallery]
Just like Google, it also has trouble with English accents. It's pretty good at looking up my contacts, but has been accurate about 10% of the time when I try to do a web search or try posting to Facebook or Twitter. Still, it's far more useful than the Google app as it has more features and hopefully the voice recognition will improve with future updates.
tried google mobile apps and this. its ok. looking for improvements when update comes. thanks for info.
this app would be perfect if it were like google and could put it to your ear to find something.
oh man, i can't wait to see what some of the twitter updates from this look like.
As long as Google refuses to release its mobile apps in all app stores around the world, vlingo seems like a good alternative. Had no trouble finding places, searching the web and placing calls with it. My first twitter post checked out fine, too.
This is going to sound so dumb but this is a great app I just really didn't like the application icon!! Very bland lol, that's all.
I wish Vlingo would start by putting the phone to your ear. That's such a simple addition that could make the software ridiculously powerful. I could see myself never closing the application. Love the Twitter addition, but it doesn't seem safe to use whilst driving!
This program is so awesome.

The sensor should be "surface mounted" and NOT go into the tank. You probably need a new water heater.
I have an 8 year old Bradford white natural gas power vent 75 gallon water heater. Recently I noticed a drip coming out of the bottom. I took the burner covers off and inspected the bottom of the tank. It doesn't look rusty. I then took the thermostat cover off and noticed that the insulation in that area is wet. This area is probably 6" or so above the bottom of the tank.
Then I pulled the wire protector grommet out of the hole on a black wire going through the jacket (the hole right above the gas line in the pic). Once I did that a fast drip developed from that area. The wire comes out of the jacket and is connected to the burner controller box that the gas line ties into.
I think this is the thermostat sensor that has a penetration through the tank wall or something to that effect. I believe that it's seal may ave gone bad causing the drip. Is that possible and if so how do I fix it?

Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Water dripping from the insulation could come from anywhere.
Without removing the wrapper, it's only a guess, but from experience, that normally means the tank is now bad and needs replacement.
Unless you can find something easy on top, like the connectors at the top dripping, the other causes tend to be bad.
I haven't removed the outside casing. Just a guess about the sensor penetrating the tank. Is it possible to remove the outside casing fairly easily without having to disconnect all the plumbing?
I'm really hoping to not have to replace the whole thing......
The outside casing was never intended to be removed, so if you do you will probably just make a bigger mess of it.
It would be quite uncommon for there to be a leak in the side of the tank. I would be looking really hard at the fittings at the top.
Ok. So I thought I would take the top of the tank off to see inside and determine if the water was originating at the fittings somehow. Even though there is no visible water on top of the tank.
I got the cold-in line and the hot-out lines off, removed the power vent and removed the screws that hold the top in place. Once I got all that off, I teased there is a female/male union fitting that the water lines actually thread onto with their female end. I tried to get these off with a pair of channel locks but they seem to be corroded in place.
So I didn't get as far as I would have liked, but I noticed 2 things.
1. That the union fittings have a pretty good amount of corrosion build up. Is this normal or do I hame some sort of dielectric corrosion taking place between steel and copper?
2. The screws holding the tank lid on are clean on the heads but rusty on the threads, which tells e there may be moisture present in that area at the TOP of the tank.
Any thoughts or am I grasping at draws?
Since you have that water heater out, you might as well go buy a new one. If it's not leaking from the top fittings or the bottom drain, the tank is shot.
Steel (galvanized) pipe and copper pipe should not be connected directly together without using a dielectric union or a brass nipple between the two materials.
The FIRST thing you should have done was contacted the original installer. The serial number on the unit can be checked to see if it might be covered by a recall or warranty. Once you've damaged the sheet metal, it's yours.
Get some bigger wrenches before you give up.

BillGuard'sBillGuard's technology for monitoring and resolving unwanted credit and debit transactions is going to be installed Lemon Inc.'s Lemon Wallet. BillGuard solution, which is included in Apple's Passbook, will now be available to the Lemon Wallet's 2.5 million users on both iOS and Android.
BillGuard started out as an online service, and, in a statement released today, said that it had saved customers more than $1 million through its BillGuard.com website. BillGuard is now moving aggressively towards extending that service to digital wallets like Passbook and Lemon.

"Consumers today are more mobile than ever. Using their smartphones to make purchases, organize cards, receipts and coupons offers them more flexibility, but it also provides a new channel for billing errors, deceptive charges and fraud," Wences Casares, Lemon's CEO, said in the statement.
BillGuard cited a study it conducted that found that one in four of its users had been charged at least one erroneous or deceptive charge by merchants in the previous six months. Although these charges are often just a few dollars, BillGuard found that those users had paid close to $350 in such inaccurate charges.

Yeah, it's called a "Train Table", but it provides a big, sturdy area for your little one to play with all their toys! The large 35 x 49 1/4" surface is the perfect place to build a railroad, but it's also ideal to use as just a general play area, too! Toy cars, action figures, puzzles, coloring... it's a great stage to showcase your child's imagination!
The table comes with a landscaped playboard detailed with silk-screened landscaping and a reversible flip side. Sitting 17 1/2" off the ground, your child can plant themselves on the floor and play with their toys without damaging floors or carpets. And for a little organization, pick up KidKraft's Trundle Drawer that fits perfectly under the Table and withstands years of rough use!

Philadelphia Main Line
|This article reads like a news release, or is otherwise written in an overly promotional tone. (February 2013)
The Main Line is an unofficial historical and socio-cultural region of suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, comprising a collection of affluent towns built along the old Main Line of the Pennsylvania Railroad which ran northwest from downtown Philadelphia parallel to Lancaster Avenue (US Route 30).
The railroad helped create the Main Line towns in the 19th century. They became home to sprawling country estates belonging to Philadelphia's wealthiest families, and over the decades became a bastion of "old money". Today, the Main Line includes some of the wealthiest towns in the country, including Lower Merion Township,[1] Radnor Township,[2] Gladwyne,[3] and Villanova.[4] The region also contains the King of Prussia Mall, the second largest mall in the country.
Rail service along the old PRR line is provided by Amtrak's Keystone Corridor and SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale Line.

The Main Line region was long part of Lenapehoking, the homeland of the matrilineal Lenni Lenape Native Americans (the "true people", or "Delaware Indians"). Europeans arrived in the 1600s, after William Penn sold a tract of land, called the Welsh Tract, to a group of Welsh Quakers in London in 1681. This accounts for the many Welsh place names in the area.[5]
The Pennsylvania Railroad built its main line during the early 19th century as part of the Main Line of Public Works that spanned Pennsylvania. Later in the century, the railroad, which owned much of the land surrounding the tracks, encouraged the development of this picturesque environment by building way stations along the portion of its track closest to Philadelphia. The benefits of what was touted as "healthy yet cultivated country living" attracted Philadelphia's social elite, many of whom had one house in the city and another larger "country home" on the Main Line.
In the 20th century, many of these families moved to the Main Line suburbs. Part of the national trend of suburbanization, this drove rapid investment, prosperity, and growth that turned the area into greater Philadelphia's most affluent and fashionable region. Estates with sweeping lawns and towering maples, the débutante balls and the Merion Cricket Club, which drew crowds of 25,000 spectators to its matches in the early 1900s, were the setting for the 1940 Grant/Hepburn/Stewart motion picture The Philadelphia Story.[6]
The railroad placed stops about two minutes apart, starting with Overbrook. The surrounding communities became known by the railroad station names which started at Broad Street Station in Center City Philadelphia and went on to 32nd St. Station, and then the Main Line stations: Overbrook, Merion, Narberth, Wynnewood, Ardmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Rosemont, Villanova, Radnor, St. Davids, Wayne, Strafford, Devon, Berwyn, Daylesford, and Paoli. Malvern was added to regular suburban service later. At least five of these station buildings, along with the first Bryn Mawr Hotel, were designed by Wilson Brothers & Company. Broad Street Station was replaced with Suburban Station in 1930, and 30th Street Station replaced 32nd Street three years later. Suburban service now extends to Malvern, Exton, Whitford, Downingtown, and Thorndale.[7] The train that served these stations was known as the "Paoli Local", and that name became a near-synonym for the Main Line itself.
The railroad line then continued on to Chicago, with major stations at Lancaster, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. The railroad, since taken over by Amtrak, is still in service, although its route is slightly different from the original. It also serves the Paoli/Thorndale Line of the SEPTA Regional Rail system.
The Main Line today[edit]
Today the "Main Line" is another name for the western suburbs of Philadelphia along Lancaster Avenue (U.S. Route 30) and the former Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line, extending from the city limits to traditionally Bryn Mawr and ultimately Paoli, Pennsylvania[8] an area of about 200 square miles (520 km2). The upper-/upper middle-class enclave has historically been one of the bastions of "old money" in the Northeast, along with places such as Long Island's Gold Coast, Westchester County, New York, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, and Fairfield County, Connecticut. It is home to some of the wealthiest places in the United States, such as Gladwyne, which has the 14th highest per-capita income in the country with a population of 1,000 or more. The eastern section of Villanova was also ranked 39th in The Elite 100 Highest Income Neighborhoods in America with a median household income of $366,904.[9]
Towns along the Main Line vary from picturesque walkable village life to more established suburban landscape.
Communities on the Main Line[edit]
The Main Line proper is a line of communities extending northwest from the City of Philadelphia. From Philadelphia, the stations on what is now referred to as the Paoli/Thorndale (formerly "R5") Line are: Overbrook,[10] Merion, Narberth, Wynnewood, Ardmore, Haverford and Bryn Mawr, which inspired the mnemonic "Old Maids Never Wed And Have Babies". The contemporary definition of the Main Line now encompasses many communities past Bryn Mawr. They are sometimes referred to as the upper Main Line and include Rosemont, Villanova, Radnor, St. Davids, Wayne, Strafford, Devon, Berwyn, Daylesford, Paoli, and Malvern. In recent years, the service has extended even further west than Malvern.
Some communities, most notably Gladwyne, Bala Cynwyd, and Penn Valley, are included in what is commonly accepted as the Main Line, as they are typical Main Line communities. Neither, however, is located on the rail line for which the area is named and therefore may be considered culturally rather than geographically on the Main Line.
The Main Line by community:
The Main Line by municipality:[11]
There is collective data for the Main Line, so all data is by ZIP code. In comparison, the median family income and home price for the state of Pennsylvania are $68,646 and $155,000, respectively.[12][13] The following ZIP codes are those within the previously mentioned municipalities that make up the Main Line. All data, with the exception of average home price, are as of the 2000 census.[14] For comparison, the median family income of Beverly Hills, California is $110,040.
|ZIP code
|Median family income
|Average home price
|Bala Cynwyd
|Bryn Mawr, Rosemont, Garrett Hill
|Narberth, Penn Valley
|Villanova, Ithan
|Wayne, Radnor, St. Davids, Strafford, Chesterbrook
|Wynnewood, Penn Wynne Carroll Park
The Main Line is served by numerous different modes of transportation among which are three commuter rail lines operated by SEPTA. Connecting the region directly with center city Philadelphia are the Paoli/Thorndale Line which shares the former Pennsylvania Railroad four track Keystone Corridor grade with Amtrak, and the Manayunk/Norristown Line which operates over the former Reading Railroad Norristown grade. The light rail Norristown High Speed Line runs over the Philadelphia and Western Railroad line between 69th terminal in Upper Darby to Norristown.[30] Amtrak's intercity Keystone Service (New York to Harrisburg) and Pennsylvanian (New York to Pittsburgh) also serve the region with stops at the jointly operated Amtrak/SEPTA stations at Ardmore and Paoli.
The main thoroughfare through the Main Line is U.S. Route 30 which follows Lancaster Avenue (formerly the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike) running east to west and serving as the backbone of the region by connecting a large majority of its towns and municipalities. Other highways serving the area are the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76) which connects it to Philadelphia, and the "Blue Route" (I-476) which runs north to south connecting the region with the Northeast Extension and the Pennsylvania Turnpike to the north, and to Philadelphia International Airport and I-95 to the south.
Recreation and attractions[edit]

Lots of florists were inspired by beautiful, attractive presentations of Calandiva, used in different theme's. There was an Easter theme, where the Diva was exposed her multi colouring. During the Mother's Day presentation a great impression was shown. The value of the flowering pride and keepability of Calandiva, with her bright colours, were specifically emphasized. The colour red for Mother's Day was specifically emphasized. After this sales promotion, sales really increased. The florists were very enthusiastic about the given inspiration and they recognized the value of the plant.

It is important to know your BMI score because it is a reliable indicator of your risk for chronic health problems. A higher score means there is an increased risk of developing serious conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

I worked at State Farm as an intern for less than a year
Pros – The internship program in 2009 for college undergraduates was an amazing learning experience, I was a marketing intern in the SF Bay Area. They paid for our company cards, travel to the internship competition and opportunity to present for corporate. Great experience learning about marketing strategy and how interact with executives! Heavy recruiting for entry-level positions.
Cons – Entry-level positions were only in claims roles that were not well paid or suited to any other interests.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Jacoby Ellsbury Tater Tidbits
With three more clouts yesterday, Jacoby Ellsbury has now hit more home runs during the 2011 season (31) than he hit in the minor and major leagues combined from 2005-2010 (30). Here are some tidbits on Ellsbury's tater binge this year.
- Ellsbury has hit 12 homers apiece in hitter's and pitcher's counts, and seven in even counts.
- The lefty hitter is the anti-Adrian Gonzalez, pulling 25 of his homers to right field, going deep to center four times and going the opposite way twice.
- Ellsbury is doing almost all of his damage on pitches below the letters. Just one home run has been on a pitch located high in the strike zone, compared to 21 on pitches located in the middle and nine thrown low:
- Thirty of his dingers have been on pitches located within the strike zone.
- Fifteen of Ellsbury's homers have come at Fenway, and 16 have come on the road.
- Right-handed pitchers have been victimized 26 times, and leties five times.
- Here's a breakdown of how many homers Ellsbury has hit aganst each pitch type:
21 fastballs/sinkers
5 changeups/splitters
5 sliders/cutters
- Ellsbury has saved his most prodigious slugging for September, averaging a season-best 393 feet on his seven homers this month. He averaged 375 feet on his round-trippers from April-August.
- Ellsbury's 31 shots place him fifth all-time among Red Sox center fielders, according to Baseball-Reference. Here's the rest of the top five:
1. Tony Armas, 43 (1984)
2. Fred Lynn, 39 (1979)
3. Armas, 36 (1983)
4. Carl Everett, 34 (2000)
5. Ellsbury, 31 (2011)
- Measured by OPS+, Ellsbury's big homer season (146 OPS+) ranks ahead of those of Armas (85 in '83, 121 in '84) and Everett (135), but well behind Lynn (176).

Atlanta is the shining jewel of what is known as the New South. Best of all, it has grown into a modern metropolis with a slick urban landscape without sacrificing its old style Southern charm. The downtown area contains nearly half a million residents while the city proper boasts more than 5 million. The airport is the busiest in the entire world and the city is also the capital of the state of Georgia.
The city is divided into five main districts, the most popular being midtown, downtown and Buckhead. There are also areas known as East, South and West Atlanta. Buckhead is well known for both its powerful business district as well as its trendy nightclubs. This area is also home to the Governor's Mansion as well as the Lindbergh Center. The Downtown area is where much of the economic and political power of Georgia is found. This area is home to the CNN Center as well as the World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium. The state capitol building can also be visited while you are downtown. Midtown offers a blend of business and nightlife mixed in with neighborhoods and residential streets. This area is home to the Woodruff Arts Center as well as Piedmont Park and the campus of Georgia Tech.
Many famous acts can be seen at the Fox Theater and theater lovers will want to visit the New American Shakespeare Tavern. Shoppers flock to Buckhead and the hundreds of retail stores that line the streets. Record lovers will want to visit Wax 'N Facts while mall shoppers will want to spend some money in Atlantic Station. Diners will not want to miss Dante's Down the Hatch and you can make a reservation at The Sun Dial for sweeping panoramic views of the city with your meal. For those tourists who want to soak up all of the Gone With The Wind references they can, be certain to make some time for lunch or dinner at Pittypat's Porch.

This year's report is all about vision. Building on the idea the the Y spots issues that others don't and develops solutions before most people even realize there's a problem, our pals at Think Creative developed the concept, "We See." The content highlights all the different ways the Y has identified challenges facing our community–from the academic achievement gap between children of different socioeconomic backgrounds to the rising rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease–and addressed them with innovative solutions and programs. This simple idea, "We See" translates to all the work the Y does in so many different areas.
We took that thought to the next level by incorporating a die-cut of the words "We See" throughout the report. Each section begins with a beautiful photograph featuring real Y members, staff and participants in Y participants (photos by Jonpaul Douglass). The "We See" page the introduces the challenges, and the eventual solutions discussed in that section.

2011 marks the twentieth anniversary for the Florida Film Festival. With this in mind we created a poster image that focused on squarely on Florida. The neon sign is an homage at the vintage signage of roadside motels found on the roadways of Florida from the 50s, 60s and 70s. The messaging though is all Florida Film Festival. Big thanks to our pals at Think Creative for working with on this year's concept again and to Billy Davis who nailed this illustration.

Outgoing people live longer
Life lessons, courtesy of the apes.
Confident, outgoing people who are socially engaged live longer lives. How can that be when the rest of us want so often to punch them in the face?
Yet, it's true. A study from the University of Edinburgh newly affirms that personality is intertwined with physical well-being. This time, the evidence arrives courtesy of our genetic brethren, the apes.
More on MSN Living: Best sweater for your body type
As published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B and reported on LiveScience, animal experts familiar with some 298 apes from North American zoos and sanctuaries were asked to rate the animals on a set of personality traits including dominance, extroversion, neuroticism, and agreeableness. Researchers then compared the temperament assessments with information gleaned from over 18 years' of data collected about the apes, including their life spans.
Of all the personality traits considered, only extroversion was linked to how long a gorilla was expected to live.
Researcher Alex Weiss was quoted by LiveScience as saying, "These findings highlight how understanding the natural history of personality is vital to ensuring the continued health and well-being of humans, gorillas and other great apes."
More on MSN Living: 10 habits that keep marriages strong
What's so great about them apes? Well, apparently these knuckle-draggers are on to something that only a commensurate number of humans have figured out. When we can find our way to being positive, curious, and socially interactive, our lives get not only better but longer. Mental health stands to be rewarded with, and mirrored by, physical health.
The CDC estimates the average life expectancy for Americans at 76.3 years for men and 81.1 years for women. Studies have noted that people who outlive the averages tend to be optimistic and easygoing. It may be that one set of underlying genetics has dual influence on personality and longevity, though we've also seen powerful indications that a good attitude paired with a close-knit group of family and friends can be fundamental to overcoming health challenges, including some genetic conditions.
With social graces come social support systems, a built-in network for caregiving, and reduced stress. There's strength and safety in numbers, goes the living logic, and sociable people win the numbers game.

I. As one who cons at evening, O'er an album all alone, And museums on the faces, Of the friends that he has known; So, too, glance at this Year-book, And follow line by line, The past year's glowing record, Of these old schoolmates of thine. II. You'll read herein the story, Of their failure and success; How they've made the best of trouble, Played their pranks, and all the rest; Of victories in athletics, Of their work in every line, And you'll revel in this history, Of these old schoolmates of thine. III. You'll also see the snapshots, Taken 'round this dear old place; May they cause you to look backward, Thinking of each scene and face. But I'll leave you to your fancy - May your futures brightly shine. Trusting that you'll ne'er forget us - The old schoolmates of thine. P.M.

Cambridge has joined a growing number of municipalities calling on Queen's Park to cover the legal cost of challenges to Ontario's Places to Grow Act.
Coun. Nicholas Ermeta brought forward a resolution, arguing that if municipalities have to adhere to the Act, then the province should share the cost when developers at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) challenge the Places to Grow Act.
Planning commissioner Janet Babcock said there is little chance of that happening.
"It would be a huge amount of money," she said, noting that the city and region's new official plans are being challenged.
Following the meeting, Ermeta said the province tells municipalities what to do without necessary financial assistance.
"Although I don't expect them to go with the recommendation, this motion does draw some awareness to how broken things are at Queen's Park."
Places to Grow is a provincial initiative that supports economic prosperity and a high quality of life.

But how do you get cartridges into that magazine? Tucking them under the scope mount must be fun, when you're trying to reload quickly.
There's actually plenty of room... I load from the side, not the top. Haven't had any issues loading fast, even during stress drills at my last school.
Hey, I liked the color of your gun. Looking spectacular!
does that stock not allow for a removable magazine?
Does he have a website or some contact information? I am in desperate need of someone to refer bolt gun work to. I have request all the time and we just simply don't have the time to work on bolt guns anymore.
This stock does NOT accept a detachable box mag... although he sells a B&C stock that does (for an additional fee).
Mel normally takes 2-3 months to finish his rifles... currently his wait is now like 6-8 months. He dosen't normally do gunsmith work on existing rifles as he is swamped building them and test firing them.
His website is snipercentral.com
thanks for the info. I was hoping for someone who would take on re-barrels of competition rifles for long range guys.
I get request all the time. I guess I am going to have to beat my brother back into it. He used to but then he joined the Army and so he hasn't been able to for a few years. I had been referring people to a place in IL but they closed down after the government changed some laws they didn't want to deal with. Now I have not shop to refer to.
I have a 700, it is not anywere as sweet as yours. I don't have a removable mag in it so it totally would not bother me at all to not have one. I love that stock. It is way nicer than my old wood one. I don't have any complaints about how mine shoots though. It is a good shooting rifle.
