Protects and Cushions Items—These packing options provide a protective layer around items within shipping boxes or envelopes to prevent damage. Each type of packing fill specializes in protecting certain material, so you can keep anything safe. Preventing damage reduces the risk of having to send expensive replacement items.
Bubble Roll
Bubble roll and other bubble packing materials are flexible and versatile. Use sheets to wrap securely around any item and, with a little nudging, you can protect small nooks in pieces, such as delicate statues or electronics. Bubble material absorbs shocks and provides a buffer that keeps wrapped materials safe.
Packing Peanuts
This loose packing fill is perfect for filling up the extra space in large boxes. Peanuts take up space so that the package contents are unable to move and shift as much when tossed around during shipment, so there is less chance of damage. Since peanuts are a very lightweight form of packing fill, you can use them to take up extra space around pieces that are wrapped in bubble or flat packing material.
Flat Packing Material
Items like newsprint sheets and chipboard pads are great separators for flat materials packed in padded bubble mailers so that items don't get stuck together. Use these flat options to separate books, papers, magazines, or files that are shipped together. Thick flat packing materials, such as corrugated sheets, absorb impacts during shipment to reduce the risk of damage to the products. Sturdy flat board materials can be used to provide stability to flimsy items, such as clothing, so the receiver gets a pristine product.

3 NOT PERFECT,BUT QUITE FUNNY.HONESTBAZ | 24/12/2012 | See all HONESTBAZ's reviews (299)Top 100 Music Reviewer There's a good chance i'm not the target audiance for this,but as dubious as i was about watching it,i quite enjoyed it.This singing contest film is not the most original or funniest,but it certainly has it's moments. I've read some reviews elsewhere saying it's awful,i wouldn't say it's too bad,it's just nothing special in my view.The characters are a mixture of funny and a bit annoying,some of the expected kind,some that add something new to the formula.I didn't find it as funny as i'm sure a lot of people did,but to be fair some of it was surprisingly funny and well worth sticking with. A few scenes did get the chuckle bone going,the puke angel,though i saw it coming,made me laugh and cringe at the same time,it's a scene i'll remember for some time.In all honestly,i doubt i'll be watching this again any time soon as it just didn't have me laughing enough to consider it anything great,but i don't think those that fancy it should be put off by the really negative reviews,it was a lot better than i thought it would be. So consider me a fence sitter on this one if you want,but i can honestly say i quite enjoyed it and perhaps sometime in the future i will watch it again and enjoy it even more.
5 Brill :Dgc123x | 27/05/2013 | See all gc123x's reviews (2)This has to be my fave film from the past few years. It's such a fun, feel good movie that is full of laughs from start to end. If you want something to cheer you up after a crappy day this is the film for you. I just wish the publicity for this had of been greater so i could have watched it at the cinema - i only found out about it from a friend! Go watch.
5 LOTS OF LAUGHS!Raindrops11 | 24/04/2013 | See all Raindrops11's reviews (1)The more you watch it, the more you laugh. It's comical, and you have to love the music. Fat Amy is absolutely brilliant! It's a must watch!
5 Funniest Film Since Monster-In-Lawmagicalmark | 19/01/2013 | See all magicalmark's reviews (1)This film had the whole cinema in stitches!FAT Amy really does represent in this one!!Funny moment throughout, a must have when finally released on DVD!FIVE STARS.
5 Laugh outloud!Britneydies | 16/01/2013 | See all Britneydies's reviews (74)I also exoected this to be very much like Glee, but its in a different league all together. You cant help but smile at 95% of this film, it really is a feel good film. The music is excellent, the story line is good.The one thing i will say is the ending didnt feel very final, more left up in the air. Such a funny film, go see it!

We don't get many phone calls from Afghanistan, but a very special one came today.
Joe Yeager is stationed there. He was supposed to be home by now, but there was a delay.
And today is his wedding anniversary.
Joe had plans to bring his family to Holiday World to celebrate. His question: Could we somehow get a greeting to his bride and children? (Now before everyone else starts planning signboards and announcements: we do not do this. There are so many birthdays and anniversaries, it would be pure insanity trying to satisfy everyone.)
But Joe Yeager is serving our country. And his family sacrifices daily; they miss him a lot. They had plans to be together today, their special day.
So Joe figured out the NBT (Next Best Thing). Rick, our graphic artist, whipped up a quick sign and affixed it to the back of a "sandwich board." It was placed by the entrance gate in the hopes Joe's family would see it as they left for the evening.
And they did.
That's Deborah and one of the kiddos. (He looks kind of shy, doesn't he?)
Here's her story: We met several years ago, right after my dad and I moved to Corydon (Indiana) from California. I went into a store to rent a movie and asked the clerk, "What's fun to do around here?" Her future husband replied, "Absolutely nothing — except Holiday World. Wanna go?"
Real smooth, Joe!
Back to Deborah: I told him I had a boyfriend, but thanks anyway. A year or so later, I was working at Subway and he came in. We each thought the other looked familiar, but it took us a minute to remember. All of a sudden, we both said, "Holiday World!" and started laughing. This time I said "yes" when he asked me out. So Holiday World has always been "our place." After we got married a year ago, we even honeymooned here. Joe left for Afghanistan soon after. He's due home any day.
And guess where they'll be heading soon after? (We couldn't possibly make this stuff up!)
God bless our servicemen and servicewomen all around the world. And the families who love them. And miss them.
And happy Independence Day to us all!

Earlier this summer, the public was invited to the Evergreen Brickworks for the launch of the "Biodiversity Series of Toronto". The initiative, a project by the City of Toronto and a number of GTA partners like the ROM, is intended to connect Torontonians with the biodiversity found in their very own backyards.
The second annual ROM Game Jam will begin this Friday, August 8th, bringing together gaming enthusiasts and game developers to work together to create interactive games inspired by the unique setting of the ROM. This year's theme is "The Evolution Revolution".
Jaime Clifton-Ross reflects on her Summer 2014 internship at the ROM.

Our time at the Triceratops site came to an end on Friday, June 27. As we rushed to get the last jackets out of the quarry and close down the site for the year, a menacing storm was rolling in, but we made it out just in time (Figure 1). With the back of our pick-up truck filled with plaster jackets (Figure 2), we headed back to the Royal Ontario Museum.

Career saves
By Freddy Berowski
Will Carroll, author of the definitive book on baseball injuries Saving the Pitcher, puts it in the simplest terms: "Since the invention of the breaking ball, there has been no more significant development in baseball than Tommy John surgery."
Pioneered by Dr. Frank Jobe in 1974, ulnar collateral ligament surgery has saved the careers of hundreds of ballplayers. More commonly known as "Tommy John surgery," named after the first ballplayer to undergo the procedure, Tommy John himself was given full recovery odds of about one percent. The surgery was a success and added 14 seasons, and 164 more wins, to John's career. Today, full recovery rates hover at around 90 percent.
The ulnar collateral ligament or UCL is the primary medial stabilizer of the elbow joint – in simple terms, it affects one's ability to throw a baseball. Tommy John surgery involves removing a tendon from another body part, usually the opposite arm or knee, and using a figure 8 pattern to connect the humerus and ulna bones, replacing the ligament.
If it weren't for Dr. Jobe's pioneering procedure, there might only be 291 Hall of Famers instead of 292. On March 22, 1984, in a spring training game against the Cubs, Brewers third baseman Paul Molitor suffered an injury to his right elbow. That injury resulted in Dr. Jobe performing his patented surgery on Molitor, removing a tendon from Molly's left forearm and using it to replace the ligament in his right elbow. Thanks to the surgery, Molitor was able to add 2,410 hits to his resume over the next 14 seasons, ultimately earning enshrinement in Cooperstown in 2004.
It was revealed only days ago the Joe Nathan of the Minnesota Twins suffered a tear in the UCL of his throwing arm. No pitcher has recorded more saves than the Twins' stopper over the last six seasons. But if surgery is necessary, Nathan would likely miss the entire 2010 campaign.
Over the last decade or so a number of star players, notably late-inning relievers, have had to go under the knife for Tommy John surgery – some with potential Hall of Fame credentials. Ace relievers John Franco, John Smoltz and Billy Wagner have all undergone the procedure and came back strong.
To date, however, no Hall of Fame pitcher has undergone Tommy John surgery during his career.
Freddy Berowski is a library associate at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Those using the Tarka Cycle Trail (Devon Coast to Coast NCN27) route have a choice of routes through Barnstaple. Those wishing to visit the town follow the signs to the town centre from either the Bideford or Braunton directions. Alternatively those wishing to avoid the town centre can cross the Barnstaple bridge. The bridge was completed in 2007 and has a two way cycle lane (shared with pedestrians) on the north (seaward) side . Apart from the bridge crossing itself, the main change to the Tarka Cycle Trail is a new access to Barnstaple rail station .
Face-lift for Trail
We have now completed work on installing new information boards and interpretation on the Trail. These include 21 points along the trail where you can find out about the history and wildlife of the Trail and the places it passes through.
Audio Trail
There is an Audio Trail which can be dowloaded onto your PC, phone or MP3 Player. Each audio clip is linked to a place on the Trail with a numbered post and includes information from a variety of people involved in managing the Trail and its heritage.

5 OVERSIZED IPOD TOUCHSandoEntertainingU | 21/02/2012 | See all SandoEntertainingU's reviews (247)I love my iPad. But I also have the iPod touch. But I feel the two have a lot of similarities, what I find better about the iPad is watching tv catchup. Cos of the bigger screen. There is also iPads range of apps, though apps for iPod can also be used on iPad. I also find it easier to type on the iPad due to the keys being a lot bigger, I would never get rid of my iPod cos its an outdoor electrical for music. Whereas the iPad is so much bigger and better for home use.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Baird, Sox on verge of World Series title
Wednesday, October 30, 2013
DOVER — Up and down, thick and thin, beards and no beards, Rochester native Allard Baird has been through it all with the Boston Red Sox since he joined the franchise in 2006.
Excitable reliever 38-year-old Koji Uehara is one example.
Back to Ortiz's hitting — he's 11 for 15 in the Series with two homers and six RBIs — Baird said, "He's locked in. Hitting is hard enough to do, going 3 for 10 . A surgeon goes 3 out of 10, he's out of business. The way he's hitting now, doing it against left-handed pitching — 95 to 97 miles per hour. You have to look at him and say he might be a new modern age Mr. October. There's nothing like it.
Baird pointed to an instance right before the All-Star Game when the team was working on pitcher fielding with the same intensity as if it was the first day of spring training. |

The 7 Biggest Mistakes You Make Cooking Soup
Chilly winter months call for the quintessential cozy dinner: soup. Make sure you're simmering up your best pot by avoiding these common mistakes.
Want to test out these tips? Try these 14 creamy creamless soup recipes.
Photo Credit Anna Williams
More from Good Housekeeping
1. Boiling instead of simmering
You want a small bubble or two to rise to the surface of the liquid every few seconds. More than that and your meat and vegetables will come out dry and overcooked.
2. Not using enough salt
Nothing is as crucial as seasoning correctly. Taste as you go. While you can use a recipe as a guideline, learn to trust your own tastebuds.
3. Ignoring water
Think you cant make a delicious soup because you dont have broth? Just use water instead. Trust me on this one. In fact, youre better off using water than an inferior broth. Before you dump in a can or container of broth, taste it. If you wouldnt eat it as is, why would you want to add it your soup? You may even find you prefer soups made with water, which really let the ingredients shine. Just be aware that when you use water, its particularly important to add the right amount of salt. One of my personal tricks is to throw in a rind of Parmesan cheese to help flavor the soup as it simmers.
4. Overcooking the vegetables
Lets say youre making white bean soup. Start by sautéing onions, garlic, maybe celery, then adding the water and beans, and simmering. Add the carrots in the last half hour or so or when the beans are close to tender. That way the carrots will come out cooked but not mushy. Ditto, for other veggies
add them according to how much time they need to cook.
5. Adding tomatoes at the beginning
The acid in tomatoes can keep beans and vegetables crunchy. Dont add the tomatoes until the final 20 minutes when all of the other ingredients are close to tender.
6. Neglecting to garnish
A handful of fresh herbs, freshly-ground pepper, a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons add the finishing touches in terms of both flavor and texture. When I make lentil or split pea soup, I like to add a splash of balsamic vinegar or squirt of fresh lemon juice to each bowl to brighten the flavor. Other good last minute add-ins: a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, toasted pumpkin seeds, or a spoonful of pesto.
7. Not trying a pressure cooker
If youre afraid of using a pressure cooker, its time to get over it. With multiple safety features, todays models are fail-proof. Why use one, you ask? When your hubby calls to tell you hes coming down with a cold, if you pick up a chicken, you can have homemade soup on the table in under an hour.
Check out Good Housekeeping's review of both stovetop and electric models before you make a purchase.

April 16
By Ted Spencer
This is April 16, and it's my final day as vice president and chief curator. This date has special meaning in my life for many reasons, all coincidental. Let me explain.
I'm a Red Sox fan, and, although every player who donned that uniform is special to me, one stands out. Jim Lonborg is my all-time favorite. For years, I thought he was five days younger than me since the Baseball Encyclopedia listed his birthday as April 16, 1943. Mine is April 11, 1943. He was one of the brightest stars of the 1967 Impossible Dream team. He spent one season in Milwaukee (1972) and then was traded to the Phillies in January of 1973 — the same month my family moved to Philadelphia from Quincy, Mass.
His presence on the team helped acclimate us to the local team and the other league. I always felt that, if Jim were still pitching, I was not getting older. It was years later that I heard from Jim that he was actually born in 1942 and was a year older than me. It's OK. By that time, I was old anyway.
We lived in the Philadelphia area for more than nine years. I worked for INA, the Insurance Company of North America, in Center City. I had what I felt was the best job in the world, far surpassing any expectations I ever had of myself. I was manager of media services, in charge of graphic design and video production for internal communications. During the winter of 1981-82, I stumbled across an ad in a design magazine that listed the position of curator of exhibits at the Hall of Fame. This is the only place that could have moved me from INA. At the time, I was involved in the internal communications programming for INA's merger with Connecticut General Insurance, so when the call from Coop finally came in early March, I gave six-weeks notice because I wanted to be in Philadelphia for the formation of the new company: CIGNA. I left the following Friday, April 16, 1982.
Fast-forward 20 or so years, and retirement is looming just over the horizon. My wife, Patty, and I decided that I would retire at my 66th birthday — when I would qualify for full Social Security. I would leave on the following Friday. We would then leave the next day for our annual family vacation in South Carolina. Since we always travel south on Friday, it meant that my final day would be on April 16, 2009.
There is one other aspect of this story that has the most meaning. I don't think that this run of 27 years would have been nearly as successful as it has been if it were not for a boyhood friend. Jerry Caruso lived on the same street as I did in Quincy. We went through grammar school and part of junior high school together, before I went on to a Catholic high school. After that, we drifted off to different circles of friends.
Back in the summer of 1954, I was over at Jerry's house, and he was playing the Ethan Allan All-Star Baseball Game. He was playing it in conjunction with his baseball cards. He had devised a schedule and his own version of a scorecard and was keeping statistics. (Up to this point, I had only dabbled in collecting.) I was impressed. It seemed that Jerry knew everything about every player in the Majors on that day. I wanted to do the same thing.
I bought a game and started seriously collecting cards, and I set up my own schedule of games and began keeping the stats. I did this for about five years — until my junior year of high school.
This endeavor set in place the foundation for the job I took in 1982. It certainly gave me great knowledge of baseball in the 1950s, but also a comfort level in looking at, and talking about, the game as a whole. I've never forgotten Jerry and what that experience on that day in 1954 has meant to my career over the last 27 years.
Over the years here, I've had the opportunity to play host to friends from all the previous phases of my life, from grammar school to INA, but Jerry was never one of them. He died young — sometime during my early years here in Coop. I've always felt a sense of extreme disappointment because I was never able to share the specialness of the Hall of Fame experience with him.
Jerry was born on April 16, 1943.
Ted Spencer is vice president and chief curator of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

What a great run you had at the Coop. Enjoy retirement! YOU DESERVE IT! Maybe you can stop by the website every now and again and blog? I know you have some great stories that need to be told.
Ted, Have a wonderful and long retirement and thank you for what you have done for this great game we all love!
I thought I'd have to read a book for a dsicorvey like this!
Ted is on a family vacation now, but thank you so much for the kind words. I'll pass them on as soon as he's back and starts coming back to work on a much more limited basis. And keep tuned in at the blog because he'll be posting more very soon.

The College News VOL. XXI, No. 18 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1935 coPiX&BNKw|IAiy*S PRICE 10 CENTS Mrs. H. P. Van Dusen Reads Verse Subtly Rhythm and Tone Quality Vary In Dramatic Interpretation Of Many Moods ENUNCIATION IS CLEAR Deanery, March 24.�Mrs. Henry 1\ Van Dusen proved by her recitation this afternoon that, poetry reading is an art and proved herself, as poets themselves have admitted, supreme in that art. Without apparent technique, for her technique varied jn every poem, she sustained the certainty of her deep, full voice and her clear enunciation through intricate rhythm and alliteration as well as through the simplest meters. When dramatic in- terpretation was necessary, she accom- plished it skillfully; and when words or sound alone were sufficient, she made herself no more than an imper- sonal instrument for them. She did not speak the poetry; she was the poetry speaking. The old, familiar Ballad of Sir Pal- lid,- Spans was Mrs. Van Dusen's first reading. In this one poem dialogue, description, narrative and song were included, with little transition from one style to the other. Mrs. Van Dus- en never failed to meet every change with a corresponding change in her mood and voice, yet she adroitly pre- served the coherence of the whole. Her mastery of the Scotch dialect aided her in this difficult poem, as well as in the language of the following bal- lads: the Lament of the Border Widow, Thomas the Rimer, and The Ballad of Edward. Compared to the mournful tone of the other ballads, Thomas the Rimer was light and gay. It is a story of a fair elf queen who stole Thomas away with her into fairyland. Her arch, coquettish words, and Thomas' honest, blunt speeches were imitated with ease and sincerity and an appreciation of the lilt in every line. In a similar manner, Mrs. Van Dusen read Robert Burns' Turn Glen, the coy lament of a lassie who wants someone to advise her to marry the man she loves. Then, an alarming con- trast, came Burns' Origin of Poetry, which was absolute invective against the teaching of writing in schools. The students of such schools "go in fools and come out asses." The con- viction sounding in Mrs. Van Dusen's voice was terrifying, but her laugh Continued on rage Five Dr. Herben Recommends /Bryn Mawr Camera Clubf* Summer Camp Sports Common Room, March 21. � The newly organized discussion group for promoting interest in modern art had as its guest speaker Professor Her- ben, who discussed the newly perfected art of photography, with its possibili- ties and pleasures as a hobby, fie pointed out many of the excellencies of the portrait photographs by Joan Robinson, explaining that Ujey were all made with strong artificial light- ing and that the better pictures all showed good modeling by a clever use of lights and reflectors at various angles. Many students responded with interest to his suggestion that a cam- era club be formed, on campus and the developing equipment jointly pur- chased. The entire equipment neces- sary to begin group developing would he less than fifty dollars, and the group could become self-sustaining by charging small dues, entrance fees, and by selling: its own enlargements of campus snapshots. ^~"*fc� Dr. Herben exhibited a battery of cameras ranging from small pocket cameras to a large Graflex, a num- ber of filters and gadgets, and some of his own pictures, which roused the envy and enthusiasm of the camera fans present. He assured everyone!, however, that expensive cameras with elaborate attachments of the latest va- riety were entirely unnecessary for even the finest results. Under nor- mal light conditions a box brownie can produce as fine a picture as the fast- est Leica camera, for the important thing in all photography is the care with which the subject and the expos* ure time is selected. Care in develop- ing is also vital to a good picture, and doing one's own developing is the only way to produce results that are exact- ly what the photographer desires. t Cameras have been made so tech nically perfect in recent years that the only possible way to produce a poor negative is to disregard all care in exposure and selection of subject. Tin- fundamentals of good photography can and should be learned with the simplest equipment; the subject, if stationary and available, should be studied for its best light effects, and one's own dark room work should be perfected, if good pictures are tie- sired. The slowest possible exposure to prevent blurring produces the best pictures. Gay Square Dancers Caper As Hill Billies To Mountain Ditties of Fire-House Band Gymnasium, March 22, 1935.�The first of the much heralded series of three Square Dances was held amid the breathless activity of the partici- pants and loud cheers from the gal- lery of more timid, or perhaps more lazy, spirits. A crowd of"about forty couples gathered at eight o'clock to dance to the strains of music from the hill-country played by the Farra boys, a local orchestra which plays for the Malvern Fire Company. The in- struments consisted of a fiddle, an ac- cordion and a banjo, all played with considerable pep and rhythm and ac- companied by much tapping of the feet on the floor. The College was not well represent- ed in the crowd which gathered for the opening number, although we did see several members of the Faculty disporting themselves in vigorous fashion. There were numerous out- siders, a good many of whom were men, so that there were almost enough partners to go around. Altogether the younger generation was outnumbered by the supposedly staid elders, who did their best to outshine their jun- iors. The dances were decidedly- strenuous, and everyone agreed that for real exerci.*. combined with genu- ine fun, square dancing is without an equal. Practically everyone who took part in the festivities was inexperienced, but they soon caught on to the spirit of the dances. Learning the steps proved quite easy under the compe- tent guidance of Mr. Slingluff, brother of Silvine Savage, '30, who came up from Baltimore especially for the oc- casion. He called the various parts of the dances in a manner which re- minded us of real country dances we have seen in the pas'. Most of the dances were familiar in song and story. The first one was the "Virginia Reel," that old favor- ite which many of us have perpetrated at fancy dress parties. The next num- ber was called "Soldiers' Joy," but de- spite its military name, we could ob- serve no connection with the actions of soldiers. The dancing was resum- ed after an intermission to let the par- ticipants and spectators catch their breath. After a try at "The Lancers," the Promenade Step was practiced; this is one of the fundamental steps in square dancing. Another number was called "Old Man Tucker;" expert square dancers informed us that this is also called "Old Dan Tucker." bill both of them sounded equally charm- ing to us and we enjoyed the lasl dance almost best of all. The music consisted of hill songs and' old favorites like "Turkey in the Straw" and "Pop Goes the Weasel." All in all, the whole dance was a grand affair and it is to be hoped thaf a large group will turn up at the next one and help to make it an even greater success than this; for square dancing is one of those things which thrive on bigger and better crowds. 7? -� \. :.�.�> ��,����: Summer Camp Needs Student Assistance Poor Children Improve Health and Psychological Balance In Camp Life WOR>K TRAINS TEACHERS (Especially Contributed by Sain Park, '36) Now that the College is about to celebrate the happy arrival of spring with a much needed vacation, we are reminded that summer cannot be far behind, and we realize that many stu- dents must have begun already to make their plans for June and July. Hence once more we wish to bring to the attention of the undergraduates the splendid opportunities offered them during these months for combined work and play at the "Bryn Mawr Summer Camp. The advantages to the student who comes to the cam)) are manifold. First: if a girl is fond of children and in- tends to go into teaching later, her experience here gives her prestige thai will be valuable in securing a job. We make this statement advisedly from the evidence given us by a rueful graduate of this college, who applied for a job at one of New York's largest private schools "and was turned down only because'she had not had experi- ence at the camp. Second: A teach- er at the Bryn Mawr Camp comes into close contact with children of various nationalities, children of a different social status from her own. She has ample opportunity to broaden her own point of view, and to learn to look upon the class and race prob- lems of this country with more sym- pathy and understanding. Third :- and perhaps we should not put this last�"A good time is had by all." Although financially the summer camp is entirely supported by the un- dergraduates, we feel that the stu- dent body as a whole is fairly unin- formed as to the aims and the actual running of this institution. When the camp began, it was formed solely for the benefit of the children. Now, although we realize more each year the actual benefit to the students who have worked there, we still maintain that the child's welfare shall be the most important consideration in the formation of our yearly plans. The aim of the camp, then, is single in purpose�we propose to do what wc Continued on Page Four French Club Production Is Complimented for Loveliness of Atmosphere and Tone Expert Direction of Mile.

Dr. Henry Willard on The Ahhe/i of Monte Cassino and the Medieval Culture of Southern Italy. Good hart. 8.20 P. M. The French Club deserves to be highly complimented on the very ex- ceptional performance of Maurice Maeterlinck's La Soeur Beatrice, which Maeterlink's La Soeur Beatrice, which it presented on Saturday evening. Mile Rey, who directed the (day, work- ed wonders with the script, into which a good many important points in the action are not written. The group scenes as staged showed every evi- dence of exceedingly capable Interpre- tation and manipulation. The action in almost every particular was all thai could be desired. The set was one of the loveliest we have ever seen in any production, amateur or professional. The choice of the play was a happy one. La Soeur Beatrice, a miracle play dealing with the story of a nun who forsakes her vows, is unlike those dramas formerly chosen by the French Club. It is a play which not only represents a departure in type, bul which is remarkably well suited to in- terpretation by the actors. Evelyn Thompson as Soeur Beatrice, gave a performance which, even to those who were unable to understand all of the dialogue, was full of poignant feeling;, and which beautifully externalized a deep emotional conflict. Her perform- ance deserves even more praise when we realize that her part is not really full of action; she handled the long soliloquies with great understanding, employing gestures and intoning her voice to the greatest advantage. Irene Ferrer was a most convincing Prince Bellidore. She did not play the part in that hesitating manner af- fected by so many girls taking male roles. Her lines were spoken with n ring of sincerity; her stride as she en- tered was decisive and sure; she car- ried off the part well, playing a rather difficult romantic scene with convinc- ing ability. Diana Morgan, who took the part of La Vierge, was not only a very stony statue, but also a very charming saint, as she took the place of Soeur Beatrice in the convent. Her part was not large, but when she gave alms to the beggars and the poor. when she fixed her eyes on the spot where she had stood as a statue while the Abbesse (Alicia Stewart) upbraid- ed her, her whole mien was thai of some ethereal creature sent to earth by a divine miracle. Mary Hutchings, as the priest, said her few lines with feeling, and al- though she was left on the stage with nothing to do for some length of tinn- while the miracle took place, she main- tained her priestly demeanor. All of the entrances of the nuns, the pauvres. and the pilgrims sustained the spirit of wonder and awe which pervaded the whole. Marie Louise Beck, playing the pe- tite Allette, was a real addition to the play; her girlish voice and delicate manner as she approached the Virgin and realized that it was not the same Soeur Beatrice, somehow lent an en- tirely new note of tenderness. La Soeur Beatrice was exceedingly well cast; that every actress found herself in her role was evident from the smoothly-running performance which was given. Probably the most important thing in a play of this type is the at- mosphere and tone.

It provides all sorts of work: office and secretarial work in hospital clinics, day nurser- ies, museums and settlements; cultural work (�'. e., work in dramatics, danc- ing, story-telling, singing, painting, sculpture, decorative and applied arls, history, archaeology, photography, ap- plied and natural science) in mus- eums, cultural organizations, play- grounds and settlements; editorial work in educational and other publi- cations, such as bulletins and news letters; group leadership and club work in clubs and libraries; profes- sional work as advisors or members � if committees requiring a knowledge of law, architecture, dietics, finance; and" personal work among the blind and among hospital patients. The bureau is one of twenty-six op- erating in as many cities in America and offers opportunities in extraordi- narily varied fields of service. The Volunteer Service Bureau in Philadel- phia is located at 811 South Juniper Street, and any inquiries may be ad- dressed there, or information may l�- had by calling Kingsley 1658. Times Editorial Praises Bryn Mawr Science Plan The following editorial, entitled Scientia, is reprinted from the New York Times of Saturday, March 211: "Bryn Mawr has given evidence of her faith that the substance of things hoped for will increase, for she is launching a 'million-dollar drive.' This may be called an 'intuitional' in- dication of recovery. The purpose to which a considerable part of the fund is to be devoted suggests that it is something more than just another 'drive' for endowment and buildings. The plan is to bring about a 'merging of the sciences' to the extent at any rate of 'breaking down the imaginary barriers' between the sciences and giv- ing the students opportunity for see- ing that biology, chemistry, geology and physics are 'parts of a picture that should be considered as a whole.' "This does not mean a return to the old descriptive courses in 'natural his- tory.' It contemplates something thor- oughgoing: advanced courses given by members of the departments concern- ed, integrating certain fields of work that 'nominally' lie in two or more divisions. Such systematic training should result in the recruiting of indi- viduals of comprehensive ability pre- pared to teach or to carry on research in the 'border-line' fields. This train- ing should begin in the undergraduate period, for it is difficult for a student who has done research in one field to subject one's self to the discipline of routine elementary work in another. "But such courses should be of value also to the great body of students in 'the humanizing of science'�to quote a title which Dr. Harvey Gushing has given to a recent impressive article in Science. An acquaintance with tin- manifold ways in which science has modified human events and^affected human society should be as much 'a part of the fibre of a classical educa- tion' as are the 'classics' in literature. The view cited by Dr. Cushing thai 'science must become more humanistic and that humanism must include sci- ence' is one to which Bryn Mawr may give practical expression in celebrat- ing her jubilee this year. For thai reason it is hoped that the primary object of the million-dollar drive will be successful; that a building for the allied sciences, adequately equipped and endowed, will be provided for the new half-century in the life of the ever-forward looking institution for women where, besides the 'total chron- icles of man. the mind, the moruK- the last thing is learned of 'The star, the bird, the Hah, the shell, the flower, Electric, ehemlc laws and all the rest And whatsoever can be taught and known."

Gross domestic product (GDP) declined in the UK during the final quarter of the year, raising fears of a triple-dip recession.
Negative growth of -0.3 per cent was recorded between October and December 2012, with manufacturing growth down by 1.5 per cent and two per cent on the year.
Service sector activity was flat during Q4 2012, up 1.4 per cent on the year, the Office for National Statistics reported.
John Longworth, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), described the figures as "weak".
However, he noted that UK businesses are still confident they can expand in 2013.
"What is clear is that British businesses need politicians to do everything they can to kick-start growth," Mr Longworth stated.
"Business wants to see bold and far reaching measures to drive growth and enable British firms to go head-to-head with their competitors overseas."
He said recent steps to improve access to finance, such as the commitment to create a business bank, must be implemented at scale and with a clear timetable.
More forceful measures are also needed "to unlock massive private funding" to renew Britain's infrastructure, the BCC chief claimed.
Mr Longworth said these measures will help create confidence, jobs and ultimately growth in the UK economy.

Rich snippets guidelines
Rich snippets are designed to summarize the content of a page in a way that makes it even easier for users to understand what the page is about in our search results. If you're considering taking advantage of rich snippets, think about whether a user would find the information helpful when choosing between search results. The following guidelines may give you a better idea of what we mean.
To get started with rich snippets, review the in-depth information provided in the Webmaster Help Center as well as the technical, design, and quality guidelines below.
Technical guidelines
- In order to be eligible for rich snippets, you should mark up your site's pages using one of three supported formats:
- Once your content is marked up, test it using the structured data testing tool. If the tool correctly renders a rich snippet for your pages, they're eligible to be shown with rich snippets! If rich snippets aren't appearing in the rich snippets testing tool, refer to our troubleshooting guide.
- Once you've correctly implemented and tested your markup, it may take some time for rich snippets to appear in search results as we crawl and process the pages. If rich snippets are not appearing in Google's search results after a few weeks, refer to our troubleshooting guide as well as the design and quality guidelines below.
Design guidelines
Implementing rich snippets allows us to provide an even more useful summary of the content on a page. Markup intended to be used in a rich snippet should:
- Describe and summarize the page's main content as a user would see it. (There are some exceptions.)
- Contain up-to-date information. We won't show a rich snippet for time-sensitive content that is no longer relevant.
- Be of original content that you and your users have generated and is fully contained on your page. We won't show a rich snippet for content that is linked or alluded to but not directly available on a page.
Quality guidelines
While rich snippets are generated algorithmically, we do reserve the right to take manual action (e.g., disable rich snippets for a specific site) in cases where we see abuse, deception, or other actions that hurt the search experience for our users. In particular, you should avoid:
- Marking up content that is in no way visible to users.
- Marking up irrelevant or misleading content, such as fake reviews or content unrelated to the focus of a page.
These quality guidelines cover the most common forms of deceptive or manipulative rich snippet behavior, but Google may respond negatively to other misleading practices not listed here. It's not safe to assume that Google approves of a specific deceptive technique just because it isn't included on this page. We strongly advise that webmasters focus on providing a great user experience rather than on looking for loopholes.
If rich snippets are not appearing for your pages in Google's search results, check that you've done each of the following things:
- Implemented markup in accordance with the above guidelines
- Successfully tested using the structured data testing tool
- Reviewed our troubleshooting guide
Reporting rich snippet spam

I often joke about having a "supercomputer" on my desk. It is actually a moderately powerful desktop PC, which is not really stretched by the work that I expect it to do. But, at least I am not normally left twiddling my thumbs waiting for it to do something. I have this computer, instead of a powerful laptop, as I concluded that, when traveling, I did not need to lug an enormous computer … Read More

WYLD Summer Camp: Backcountry Classic – Hiking
Backcountry Classic – Hiking
Length: 12 DAYS
Cost: $1440
Dates: Aug 11-22, 2013
Skills: Backcountry Basics, Paddle Strokes, Map and Compass, Alpine Hiking and Route Finding, Ice Axe Use and Snow Travel (depending on snow conditions)
Difficulty: Challenging
Our most challenging camp and a true expedition. Starting at the lodge, participants will paddle by canoe to a trailhead and hike for several days into the alpine culminating in a steep mile long climb to reach the summit of Mount McBride before returning home.
Our most advanced camp is a 12-day multi-sport expedition. Beginning at Strathcona Park Lodge the group sets out by canoe down Buttle Lake heading for the Marble Meadows Trail, a water access-only backpack route into the Vancouver Island mountains. The trail leads to a huge alpine meadow where several mountains and ridges can be climbed, including snow covered Mount McBride, one of the highest peaks on Vancouver Island. After six days of hiking, its back in the boats for a two day canoe back to the Lodge.
Day 1: After the group arrives at Strathcona Park Lodge they will begin packing and planning the expedition. Dinner is in the Whale Room and the group will sleep at the lodge's base camp.
Day 2: With a hearty breakfast out of the way you'll load the canoes and begin paddling down Upper Campbell Lake. The mountains will get higher and snowier as you head south into Buttle Lake, exploring coves and beaches. After making camp you'll begin learning the backcountry basics: how to set up shelter, prepare dinner and light a fire.
Day 3: The group will continue down Buttle Lake, passing several river estuaries before arriving at Phillips Creek and the trail to Marble Meadows. Here they will set up one more lake camp and lighten their load before heading into the mountains for six days.
Day 4: The switchbacking trail climbs steadily, passing through old growth forests and onto the edge of Marble Meadows; a wilderness camp will be set in the rolling plateau of wildflowers and patches of forest.
Day 5-9: Spend the next 5 days exploring the alpine area of Marble Meadows including Wheaton hut, Limestone cap, Morrison Spire and, the highlight, the summit of Mount McBride. Each destination demands fitness, group management and teamwork, as well as new skills like ice axe use, snow climbing, off trail navigation and map reading. At camp each night the group will take on more responsibility with meals, group decisions and planning.
Day 10-11: Down at lake level again – it's time for the paddle back. As a well-oiled group, the canoes will fly across the lake. Enjoy refreshing swims and lakeside campsites as your canoes hug the shore on the journey home. A celebratory dinner and last night with your group rounds out your WYLD experience.
Day 12: On your final day, paddle back to Strathcona Park Lodge, enjoy a shower, clean up, pack up and head home knowing you have accomplished more than you likely thought possible; proud of your new skills, increased confidence and shared memories.

Michael Sebastian is happy to be home again.
He's happy to be home in Sarasota after wrapping his last show in New Hampshire, and he's happy to be home at The Golden Apple Dinner Theatre, where he got his start as a music director 20 years ago on the 1991 set of "South Pacific."
"It feels so good to be back," Sebastian says.
More than 12 years have passed since he worked on a show at the Golden Apple, but you wouldn't know it by the way he banters back and forth with the theater staff.
It's as if he never left.
Strolling through the mostly empty theater on a Tuesday afternoon, Sebastian tosses one-liners back and forth with Kyle Turoff, the theater's managing director.
The Golden Apple's former resident music director, Sebastian now spends his time on the road traveling from theater to theater, orchestra pit to orchestra pit.
Although he loves his nomadic lifestyle and the variety of theater credits it affords him, he say there's nothing quite like music-directing a show at the Golden Apple.
A cello major from the University of Michigan, in 1978 Sebastian moved to Sarasota to play for the Florida West Coast Symphony, where he served as its principal cellist for six years.
Tired of stringing Bach, Sebastian took a gig as a keyboardist with a top-40 cover band. At the time, it was 1985. Bob Seger and Huey Lewis dominated the radio.
"I loved it, but I still felt like I was exclusively doing one thing," Sebastian says. "I still wanted to mix it up."
After a three-year stint working as the music director on a cruise ship, he returned to Sarasota, landed "South Pacific" at the Golden Apple and was soon hired as the theater's resident music director.
The job taught him how to work fast. The 40-year-old dinner theater has notoriously short rehearsal periods — one week to 10 days.
It taught him the delicate art of stroking an actor's ego or, as Sebastian describes it, "getting inside an actor's head and learning what makes 'em tick."
It's also where he met his husband and current manager, Mark Marvell, the theater's former box office manager.
"We have a really long and wonderful history," Sebastian says. "Both personally and professionally."
He even digs the Golden Apple's music pit, which, unlike most orchestra pits, is located above the stage instead of below it.
"It's cool up here," Sebastian says, tugging at the dusty black curtain that keeps his piano from being spotted by the audience. "You can misbehave and no one knows."
His first show back is "Disenchanted," a new musical about bitter fairy-tale princesses whom Sebastian describes as "quick, smart and bitchy."
No, he's not being judgmental.
The musical's full title –– "Disenchanted: Bitches of the Kingdom" –– is curiously missing from the theater's website.
"It has its raunchy moments," says Sebastian, who's looking forward to meeting the 10 females who will round out the cast.
The musical, which opens Oct. 11, hasn't been cast yet.
In the meantime, Sebastian has begun the process of "internalizing" the score, a process he repeats with every musical, no matter how many times he's seen other productions of the show.
"I always find something in the score that I've never seen before," Sebastian says. "With the last show I did, the composer wrote 'Congrats! You did it,' at the end of the score. With this show, the composer wrote, 'A tempo di insane.' That's a first."
"Disenchanted" runs Oct. 11 to Oct. 23, at The Golden Apple Dinner Theatre, 25 N. Pineapple Ave. For more information, call 366-5454 or visit thegoldenapple.com.
Red Skelton
"Before each show, he put a single red rose on every woman's chair in the orchestra."
Bernadette Peters
"She's got drive like no other."
Johnny Mathis
"He's pathologically shy."
Smokey Robinson
"He turned to the string section and said, 'I should have hired a synth player instead.' Ouch."
Paige O'Hara (the voice of Belle in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast")
"She was so delightful, so talented and so humble."

Brand Action Technology
Expert digital consultancy plus cutting-edge technology = win
With our expert consultancy and cutting-edge web technology, we provide the skills and design expertise to help identify how technology can drive improved results for your business. This could be an interactive installation, a mobile app or helping your website reach its full potential.
The best designed websites and technology projects emerge from clear objectives and focussed stakeholder involvement. Whatever your needs, talk to us.
But Where do you start?
Defining the Project
Whether it's an app, campaign microsite or an ecommerce site, by exploring your needs and goals we ensure that the project we're working on is the one which delivers greatest value to you. This is our first crucial step.
Sometimes, it may not quite be the same project you came to us with, but it's sure to be the one you need to focus on.
User-centered (Re)Designs
Regardless of the technology, our years of experience (re)designing large-scale integrated websites, customer portals and apps have taught us that knowing where to start is often a bigger challenge than starting afresh.
Information Architecture & Prototyping
After undergoing our Discovery Phase, well, things are likely to change - often quite significantly - but always for the better. We lay bare our thinking through sketches, wireframes, site maps and other quick- turnaround artefacts, and fully involve you in the process. If we're proposing something a bit more complex, we'll often create something quick and interactive to test it out.
Usability Testing
We love to test your site on real people. This means all our recommendations are based on hard evidence, rather than hearsay and opinion. It's real, observed user behaviour via screen recording, interview transcripts and analytics.
Visual Design
Every visual design we produce fits the market and delivers on user expectations. We like to keep pages simple, accessible and focused on conversion and productivity. This helps the site perform brilliantly across all devices - and site performance is all too often a price paid after a web project ends. With us, it's baked in.
Content Management
We have over 11 years experience in designing content-managed sites, and offer particular expertise in developing integrated, connected solutions built around:
As specialists in sophisticated CMS, community and ecommerce for large-scale sites, whether it's one site or fifty, a single language or many, we can help you manage them.

Heart Failure
In heart failure, the heart is unable to pump the right amount of blood throughout the body. This causes blood to back up in the veins. Depending on which part of the heart is affected, this can lead to a buildup of excess fluid in the lungs, feet, and elsewhere. Heart failure can worsen with time, which may lead to the use of many treatments. Because of this, doctors are aggressive in treating heart failure to try to prevent it from worsening.
