Product Description
Zildjian Cymbals K Custom models are the modern jazz voice.
This is where the Zildjian Sound Lab goes into innovation overdrive. K Customs arm you with a collection of modern K voices like no other. In this range you'll find sounds that set the standard for modern cymbal design. Whether it's the warm shimmering tones of a Ride cymbal, or the complex sizzle of a pair of HiHats, these cymbals all create a uniquely beautiful sound. K Customs enable drummers to vary their K sounds to meet the demands of contemporary music.
Zildjian K Custom Dark Splash:
Spectacularly clean clear and articulate. Zildjian's innovative over-hammering technique applied to very thin Splashes for the first time. Creats a uniquely dry Splash sound with more clarity, a quicker attack and faster decay. Perfect for all contemporary music demands.
Fast Modern + Shimmering
A Refined Classic Sound. It's tough to top the unmistakable and reliable sound of A Zildjians for almost any playing situation, but the award-winning A Customs are an irresistible alternative. Developed with the assistance of drumming icon Vinnie Colaiuta, A Customs utilize radical rotary hammering techniques, thin to medium weights and a striking Brilliant finish for a crisp, sweet, sophisticated A Zildjian sound. Not too dark, not too bright–cymbals that are just right for modern music.
Zildjian A custom Splash Cymbal:
Fast, colorful, short crash sound. Very musical.
Bright Full-bodied + Natural
The Classic Zildjian Voice that Started it All. These are the cymbals that launched a million drum solos and shaped musical history – tried and true musical icons whose history spans centuries and infinite musical styles. A Zildjians are the world's most popular and versatile cymbals, and for good reason. Splashes, Crashes, Rides, HiHats or Effects, they all explode with a spectrum of tonal colors and excel in any musical setting. They're extremely sensitive to your particular touch and style, yet capable of producing as much volume as your music demands.
Zildjian A Series Splash Cymbal:
Quick, short crash.
Zildjian A Series Oriental Trash Splash Cymbal:
These ultra-thin special Splash cymbals feature a unique square bell and produce an unusual and spectacularly fast, trash Splash sound. The unique sound and sizes of the Oriental Trash Splashes make them the perfect compliment to other Splash cymbals you might already have in your set-up.
Zildjian A Series EFX Crash Cymbal:
Darker version of the A Custom EFX. Produces a quick, dry, dark and trashy sound used for accenting and punctuating. Unique laser generated cut outs aid in the sudden explosiveness and quick decay. Traditional K finish and thin weight.
Bold Bright + Melodic
ZHT Ultimate Sheet Bronze Cymbals. 88% Copper, 12% Tin. Zildjian's first-ever B12 alloy results in our most musical Sheet Bronze series yet. A higher tin content, ultra-modern crafting techniques, and extensive hammering have created a more musical sound than previously found in a Zildjian Sheet Bronze cymbal. ZHT is the only Zildjian Sheet Bronze series in a traditional finish and features popular Zildjian Cast Bronze models
Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal
A new type of effects cymbal with a distinctive colored tint and an equally trashy voice. Explosive on its own. Stack it on another cymbal for a signature trashy sound.
Mike Mangini assisted Zildjian in the birth of this trashy special effects cymbal that stands alone or sizzles piggybacked on another cymbal. Like Mike, it's like nothing you've ever seen before. It's sound is as outrageous as his personality. Well...almost.
Zildjian ZIL BEL EFX Cymbal
The small (6-inch) ZIL-BEL has a bright, singing musical tone which is ideal for special accents and effects. Large, deep bell shape. High pitch. Use individually or with the Large model to produce complimentary tones that contrast perfectly with each other. Mount regularly or inverted for special tones.
Power - Projection - Playability
Rock your World. Zildjian Z3 line of hard hitting cymbals are the ultimate mix of Power, Projection and Playability for your Rock.
Made from the formable Zildjian 80% copper/20% tin cast bronze alloy, these cymbals explode thanks to oversized bells and large sizes.
Ear splitting presence comes from symmetrical hammering and advanced lathing methods for enhanced projection.
Optimum profiles and thicknesses provide a high level of flex that keeps the cymbal from feeling like you are hitting a manhole cover. Their brilliant finish provides all the eye candy you are looking for.
Are you Ready? Z3 is.
Zildjian Z3 Splash Cymbal:
Big size. Big Sound. Oversized bell and tonal grooves give this splash its power. Thin weight with a brilliant finish.

CoPilot Taxi Child Bike Seat
Great bike seat for kids!
We gave this seat to my dad for father's day, and he loves it. It fits my 3-yr-old (about 32 lbs) nephew fantastically! It was also fairly easy to mount on the bike and to take on and off. We did have an issue with not being able to mount the seat on a mountain bike, but luckily my dad has a hybrid bike as well which worked.

Easy Going!
Rack was easy enough to install. I had to attach to seat stem not on my bike. Directions did not state this, but this is what worked best for my bike. Car seat goes on and off easily from rack. Nice feature!

When words aren't enough to express the depths of your love, this heart-shaped arrangement makes an unforgettable statement and a stunning tribute.
When a friend or loved one passes away, many people want to send funeral flowers as a symbol of their love and a show of heartfelt condolences to the family and other mourners at the service. The options for funeral flowers include: arrangements for the casket, standing arrangements such as floral crosses or wreaths, as well as smaller baskets or arrangements. However, etiquette dictates what type of arrangement is appropriate as not all funeral flowers should be sent by anyone.
If you are not able to attend the funeral service, you can still send sympathy flowers to the family's home as all funeral flowers do not need to be at the service. The most common options for a sympathy gift to the home are a vase of beautiful flowers or a floral basket. Fruit baskets or gifts of gourmet food are also appreciated at the home of the family when they receive mourners.
No matter what type of funeral flowers you need, the expert Sympathy Advisors at 1-800-FLOWERS.COM® will be able to help you with selection and ordering, and they will arrange for delivery to the funeral service location or family home. All funeral flowers on 1-800-FLOWERS.COM are thoughtfully designed by their creative florists, and the designs include traditional flowers for the funeral service as well as more contemporary styles to have sent to the home of the family.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disorder that blocks the tubes (ureters) that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis; Ormond's disease
Retroperitoneal fibrosis occurs when extra fibrous tissue forms in the area behind the stomach and intestines. The tissue forms a mass (or masses) that can block the tubes that carry urine from the kidney to the bladder.
The cause of this problem is not known. It is most common in people aged 40 - 60. Men are twice as likely to develop the condition as women.
Early symptoms:
Later symptoms:
Abdominal CT scan is the best way to find a retroperitoneal mass.
Other tests that can help diagnose this condition include:
A biopsy of the mass may also be done to rule out cancer.
Corticosteroids are tried first. Some doctors also prescribe a drug called tamoxifen.
If corticosteroid treatment doesn't work, a biopsy should be done to confirm the diagnosis. Other medicines to suppress the immune system can be prescribed.
When medicine does not work, surgery and stents (draining tubes) are needed.
The outlook will depend on the extent of the problem and the amount of damage to the kidneys.
The kidney damage may be temporary or permanent.
The disorder may lead to:
Call your health care provider if you have lower abdomen or flank pain and less output of urine.
Try to avoid long-term use of medicines that contain methysergide. This drug has been shown to cause retroperitoneal fibrosis. Methysergide is sometimes used to treat migraine headaches.

> The College News VOL. XXII, No. 2 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1935 8oP^LlloEBNKws*fAwM PRICE 1 a CENTS Bryn Mawr, Princeton To Present "Messiah" Combined Glee Club, Choirs Will Sing In Princeton Dec. 15, Goodhart Dec. 16 WILL REPLACE CONCERT The combined Choir and Glee Club of Bryn Mawr College, under the di- rection of Mr. Willoughby, will tread new paths of glory in the performance of Handel's Messiah next month with the Princeton University Chapel Choir. Two performances are sched- uled, one on the night of Sunday, De- cember 15, in the Princeton Chapel, the second on Monday, December 16, in Goodhart Hall. For many years the choir has aspired to sing the Messiah, but has been unable to find a suitable male chorus with which to combine on any of the possible dates. The choir is indeed fortunate to find at this time such a well-trained col- laborator from such a similar institu- tion as Princeton. Because of the magnitude of the undertaking and the proximity of date and purpose the Messiah will this year replace the usual Christmas Carol Service, and also the concert usually given by the Glee Club during May Day years, instead of a Gilbert and Sullivan production. The twenty-two choruses of the great oratorio are en- tirely new work for the choir and glee club. In so far as those in charge have been able to ascertain-, the production in Goodhart on Decem- ber 16 will be the first full-length concert performance of the Messiah ever to be given on the Main Line. The members of the Princeton tenor and bass choruses will number ap- proximately sixty, � and the number of Bryn Mawr first and second so- prano voices will be approximately eighty. Mr. Ralph W. Downes, Or- ganist and Director of the Princeton Chapel Choir, will be the conductor at Princeton, and Mr. Ernest Wil- loughby will conduct the performance here. Thirty-five members of the Philadelphia Orchestra will play for the occasions. There will be, in addi- tion to the two collegiate choruses, four professional soloists whose names will be announced later. Financial backing and arrangements have not yet been completed, but will also be announced later. Rehearsals were begun here a, week ago and are proceeding extremely well.

Lantern Night Ritual Is Oldest Tradition The Cloisters, October 18.�Tonight Bryn Mawr's fifty-first class received its lanterns of learning from the col- lege. Yet the college, in giving, re- ceived in turn a gift from its fresh- men. It gained a confirmation of its oldest tradition. The ceremony of Lantern Night, although long spoken of as traditional, earned its first right to that name tonight when the latest of fifty-one consecutive classes shared in its rites, performed for the fiftieth time. There is a hoary and ancestral dignity about half a century of ex- istence which not even forty-nine years can claim or merit. Forty-nine is still growing; fifty is old. But however old the custom, it was new to the freshmen who filed silently into the pitch-black cloisters. Only wonder and excitement at a strange experience could have kept them so breathlessly quiet as they formed an unbroken black crescent about the courtyard pool. Even when the sophomores entered, carrying lanterns and singing "Pallas Athene," the cres- cent never moved to show that it could hear. Of the sophomores, nothing could be seen except a line of green lanterns moving slowly from both ends of the cloisters. The voices of the two lines were not quite in unison, but the echoes and undertones caused by this fault were lovelier than faultlessness could have been. In the center of the cloister walk, the two files met and advanced to- gether out across the lawn to where the freshmen stood. Making a semi- circle within the motionless semi- circle already there, they finished their hymn, then turned to give their lanterns to the waiting line behind them and fled. They clustered togeth- er again in a corner of the cloisters to give one last verse of their song; and there they waited while the fresh- Continued on Page Four Musical Rocking Chairs, Laughing Oceans Are Unearthed by Imaginative Linguists Every year, twice a year, there come those grim milestones in the life of Bryn Mawr undergraduates, the "Orals." Students flock to the exami- nations, scattering in their wakes tiny slips of paper with "Holzgerechtig- keit" on one side, and "free supply of wood" or some such touching senti- ment on the other side. The Oral sea- son is a sad one generally; but every now and then there occur some happy fruits of those little slips of paper which serve to cheer a professor weary of marking blue-books. In the German Oral, the following statements appeared: "Many times a pair of gulls leave a forgotten island in the vicinity, born of a wild desire for water. ("Manchmal lassen ein paar Mowen Land in der Nahe ver- muten, irgendeine vergessene Insel, die hinter einer. Wildnis von Wasser verborgen ist;") For: "Der Stille Ozean ist unbestandig und unzuver- lassig wie die Menschenseele," "The Southern Ocean is as unfathomable as Southern men"; for: Tammerwblk- chen stehen am Horfzont und nehmen beim Sonnenuntergang seltsame For- men an; man glaubt, ein hoher Gebir- gszug baue sich auf, "Little people stand on the horizon at sunset�and one thinks he is climbing a high moun- tain." "Nirgends eines Dampfers freundlicher Rauch�,'' produced two O desolate descriptions: "Never the friendly smell of a vapor," and "Never the friendly roar of a steam- boat." "The sea is happy and laughs," is one translation of "Das Meer ist glatt und leuchtet." One student warns: "And one should not put out on a strange sea in such stillness,"� (�"Und in nie geahnter" Stille fahrt man auf einem Zaubersee.") Quite a homely botanical note was introduced into the paper which translated "�mit den Beziehungen der Pflanzen zu der sie umgebenden Natur," "�with the connections of plants to Mother Nature, to whom they bow." Imagination and a dry disdain marked the translations of the French Oral. "La musique berceuse" became "the musical rocking-chair." "Ils prennent la grace au pied de la lettre" appeared to mean: "They swallow- whole the politeness at the end of a letter." "Tout ce qui ne pouvait pas se dire semblait etre de trop dans l'ame" pointed out the fact that: "Everyone who could not express himself seemed to be too much of a fool." The list of French Oral Clas- sics concluded with the rather start- ling news that: "Ils considerent le charme de l'expression comme un en- gagement pour la conduite" meant "They consider �cbaflR""bf expression^* like an engagement for a prostitute!" Anniversary Program *,� Plans Are Completed Formal Celebration of Founding, Thomas Award Presentation Occupy Saturday SKETCHES IN EVENINGS - Goodhart Hall, October 10.�Miss Park reported in Chapel the final plans for the celebration of Bryn Mawr's Fiftieth Anniversary, which will take place on Friday and Satur- day, November 1 and 2. The Anni- versary will be celebrated in four for- ma! programs, though there will be several teas and other social func- tions. On Friday evening, November 1, Historical Sketches will be present- ed. These on the whole will have to do with the College's fifty-year career. Cornelia Otis Skinner will give a monologue portraying the girl of the eighties, and Margaret Ayre Barnes will give something illustrating "the mediaeval period." On Saturday morning there will be formal exercises commemorating the founding of the college. Several leading educators will speak. Saturday afternoon will see the presentation of the M. Carey Thomas Award of $5000 to Dr..Flor- ence Rena Sabin. There will be a repetition of the Historical Sketches on Saturday night. Because of the many official dele- gates the undergraduates are not in- vited to the first two parts of the pro- gram. There will, however, be no re- served seats on Saturday afternoon and students will be welcome. On Saturday evening students and alum- nae will be Miss Park's guests. The invitation cards must be kept as tick- ets of admission, and all those plan- ning to attend the performance, be- ginning at nine o'clock, should be prompt if they wish good seats. Many distinguished people have been invited to the Fiftieth Anniver- sary celebration. They include presi- dents of colleges and universities east of the Mississippi, presidents of learned societies, the faculty and staff of Bryn Mawr. College, headmistresses of the schools that have prepared five or more students for Bryn Mawr Col- lege, large donor's to the 1920, 1925 and 1935 endowment funds, represen- tatives of the alumnae, graduate stu- dents and undergraduates as well as the Board of Directors of the college. There will be also two representatives of each class in college and two from the graduate school. They will march in the procession on Saturday morn- ing together with two representatives from each of the classes from 1885 on and two representatives of the M. A.'s and Ph. D.'s. The represen- Contlnued on "'aae Klve Freshman Week Biggest Success Of Any Year With Miss Park and Miss Ward to support us, we can cay flatly that this year's Freshman Week was the best that has been known since the practice was established! It was a triumph for the Entertainment Com- mittee which always has a Herculean task before it. To meet one hundred and twenty-five odd freshmen, com- fort the lonely and the lost, supply them all with the wherewithal to occupy their minds and bodies, as- sort them into categories for future reference, is the business of twelve upperclassmen who give up a week of summer in order that the fresh- men may feel at home on the Bryn Mawr campus by the time the in- vasion of the "hoi polloi" begins. Continued on Pa** Four Notice to Subscribers The College News wishes to announce that the issue on Oc- tober 16 did not appear because publication was suspended while sufficient* subscriptions were being obtained to enable The News to continue to be printed. We are glad to say that the re- sults were good and The News can appear as usual every J^~� , night. Wins Thomas Award DR. FLORENCE SABIN Mysterious Production Scheduled for Friday The enterprising members of the faculty, not wishing to cast any dis- paraging criticism on last year's efforts of Varsity Dramatics, never- theless feel that it is their duty, as instructors of the young. mind, to refresh our jaded thespian enthusi- asm. With this in mind they have undertaken to turn their dazzling histrionic talents from the ridiculous �those inimitable productions Re- straint Necessary and Much Ado But Not For Nothing�to the sublime� Cymbeline. Dr. Chew has kindly consented to direct the performance, assisted by the resourceful Samuel Arthur King. There has been great difficulty in selecting a cast from the plethora of dramatic ability that characterizes our professors. However, Mr. King and Dr. Chew, working night and day, have at last decided upon the following cast, many of whom will be remembered for their stellar roles in the past. Cymbeline ..........Dr. Bernheimer Posthumous Leonatus.....Dr. Muller Belarius ...........Mr. Willoughby Arviragus .............Miss Fisher Guiderius ..............Miss Ward Lucius ............Dr. Ernst Diez Cornelius ...............S. A. King Iachimo .................Dr. Weiss Pisiano ..................Dr. Gray Cloten .................Dr. Helson Soothsayer .............Miss Petts The- Queen.......... Miss Park Mrs. Manning Imogen ..............Miss Donnelly Mrs. Collins The first rehearsal will take place Friday night at 8.20 P. M. in the auditorium of Goodhart Hall. The faculty, with customary generosity has offered to admit the student body to this rehearsal at the moderate fee of thirty-five cents. This will con- siitute a benefit performance for the Bryn Mawr Summer Camp. Owing to the congested fall schedr ule it is doubtful if the finished pro- duction will ever be presented in its "entirety; therefore it is urged that the afore-mentioned student body should avail itself of this phenomenal opportunity on Friday night, to see even a rough draft of this unusual spectacle. Dirndlmadchen Singing Wins Prize for Drive l October 21.�Bryn Mawr tied with he University of Delaware for first place in the program competition which formed part of the celebration of German Day held by the German Societies of Delaware at the German Hall in Wilmington. Since it had been planned to give first, second, and third prizes of fifty, thirty, and twenty dollars, representatives of the two institutions drew lots. The Uni- versity won, and Bryn Mawr re- ceived second prize. This has been given to the Drive in the name of the German Department. Washington College, at Chestertown, Maryland. w<m Jh* third prize. Haverford was the fouftn vouvge represented. Continued on Page Six Thomas Award Goes To Doctor F. R. Sabin Celebrated Scientist Is First Woman To Enter Rockefeller Medical Institute ORIGINAL WORK FAMOUS The third recipient of the M. Carey Thomas Award was announced on Sunday, October 13, after weeks of discussion by a carefully chosen com- mittee and much speculation by the interested undergraduates. The honor is to be conferred on Dr. Florence Rena Sabin, of the Rockefeller Insti- tute for Medical Research at a cere- mony to be held in Goodhart Hall Sat- urday afternoon, November 2, as part of the commemoration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Bryn Mawr's found- ing. Dr. Sabin's distinguished career be- gan as a member of the faculty of Johns Hopkins University in 1902. She served there in Various capacities, eventually becoming professor of his- tology. She held this position until 1925, when she resigned in order to join the staff of the Rockefeller In- stitute. As a result of her signifi- cant research activities she was hon- ored in 1925 by election to life mem- bership in the National Academy of Sciences. Dr." Sabin was the first woman mem- ber of the Rockefeller Institute, which she joined as director of the depart- ment devoted to the study of blood disease and tuberculosis. "She was also the first woman to be "elected to the National Academy in the sixty- two years of its existence. The M. Carey Thomas Award was first given in 1922 to Miss Thomas herself upon the occasion of her re- tirement from the office of President of the College. The second person to receive the award was Jane Addams, the founder of Hull House in Chicago and a leader in the Women's Inter- national League for Peace and Free- dom. The award is given periodically from interest derived from a $25,000 fund established in 1925 by the Alum- nae Association and amounts to $5000. It is particularly significant that the choice this year falls on an emi- nent scientist, in view of the Million Dollar Drive being conducted by the college. One of the main aims of the drive is the securing of funds with which to build a new science building with all the modern equipment neces- Contlnued on rajfe Five Mass Meeting Solicits Backing for Dramatics October 22.�At a mass-meeting or- ganized by members of Players Club, and heralded by posters drawn by Wyncie King, Edith Rose, president of the club, called the attention of the students to the fact that Varsity Dramatics is not limited to govern- ment of a few autocratic individuals. It is an open democratic system. The Dramatics Board will take care of the production of the plays which the col- lege wants to give. The object of the meeting was to determine whether the college really knows what it wants, and is willing to voice an opinion, or whether it is disinterested. Mr. Samuel Arthur King evinced great interest in the demonstration. He was pleased to see steps being taken toward an improved dramatic association. Although Bryn Mawr is not a dramatic college, it should not be without some definite organization, such as Players Club, was his opin- ion. "It is a vital part of education, of the development of a spirit of co- operation, and should be supported whole-heartedly by the undergraduate body." He went on to say that it was unfortunate we had insufficient finan- cial backing to sustain an experienced director, yet since we could devote only a comparatively small part of our time to dramatics, .we should at least have the benefit of interested co- operation from the college. The meeting dissolved after a show of hands in favor of a comedy for the fall play to be given with Haverford Cap and Bells.

I think it might be the other way around. The grays trying to get us to work for them. I've heard the theories about why ET would be doing sexual experiments on humans but I think they are wrong. The aliens need workers, here or on another planet, hence the hybridizing. They obviously have some motive and most motives are selfish. Humans traveling to other planets and finding other humans has been a plot used by Hollywood several times, Stargate, SG-1, Battlefield Earth.
You can take this idea a long way. Explains many things in Earth's past. Aliens destroying European cities in the Middle Ages, aliens fighting for the allies in WW-II, alien ships seen by pharoahs, clones (Adam, Moses, Jesus). Gotta quell those natives before you can make use of them. Look at the sabotage every human civ has undergone (like the US now, Europe a few centuries ago, Rome, Greece, Egypt).
If the GOV knows this then it makes perfect sense that they would keep quiet and work to develop our technology until we could fight back. We're probably a long way from that. Fits with ideas from the X-Files - "The Project".
They have their robots in place. May seem far fetched but we aren't talking about some clunky mechanical type robot. Way more sophisticated than that. Even a doctor can't tell. Its always easier to take something mother nature created and modify it, than it is to create something from scratch. And that is what they did (do). Does the 20th century make more sense now?

followed by Shinedown (pretty good)
followed by Breaking Benjamin (blew the roof off the joint)
and headlined by Nickelback (not a big fan, but they put on a very good, very lively show.)
All in all, my head still hurts. The bass was so deep and loud that my pants were actually shaking. Nickelback was throwing full cups of beer into the crowd, and they had ushers passing out shots of tequila and jager bombs.
All in all, good times. Mother's day gift for the wife, and she really enjoyed it.

Make learning fun.
Between selecting a school program, a guided tour, a tour/classroom combination or a self-guided discovery, Meijer Gardens believes every educational experience should be creative, age-appropriate and relevant. By focusing on main ideas and hands-on learning, these educational offerings are both informative and engaging. Four field trip options are offered.
Curriculum-based, hands-on educational activities led by experienced teachers. Select from the following:
In this program students will learn how food starts at a farm, and ends up on their plates. They will explore what plants need to grow by planting a seed and harvesting a vegetable. They will discover the variety of food grown on a farm and the work involved by trying fun farm chores. They will also learn about parts of a plant and why eating a variety of food is important by tasting a root, stem, leaf and flower.
Good summer program
Compare past and present by participating in 1930s-era farm chores, discussing present day alternatives, making real butter and playing old-fashioned games.
Good summer program
A is for animal, B is for Barn...come and explore the ABCs with us on the farm. Students are invited to investigate language arts in new ways. They will discover word families by deciphering animal rhymes; play with sequencing and creating action words by role playing farm chores; practice letter and sound recognition by going on an amazing farm alphabet hunt.
Practice counting at a produce stand using colorful fruits and vegetables and play coins and currency; use a clock to time farm chores like gathering eggs, hanging laundry, pumping water and painting the fence or barn; and play a giant board game filled with farm math word problems. Math on the farm can be so much fun!
The waterfalls in the Sculpture Park provide the perfect spot for activities focused on water. Learn which animals and insects live in water and examine water samples, explore the water cycle through hands-on experiments, and find out why water is such a valuable resource.
Learn fun facts about rocks with a variety of activities such as using microscopes to look closely at what rocks are made of, experimenting with the power of glaciers, and digging for the three types of rocks. Learn why rocks rock!
Move large rocks using levers, lift heavy weights with pulley systems and carve into wood using wedges. Then go on a scavenger hunt to find many other farm implements made up of simple machines. This is a wonderful program for making sense out of science.
Learn about the importance of trees by pretending to become a lumberjack, and find out why Grand Rapids became "furniture city." Then unlock the secret to tree identification using a special identification "key." Discover the many ways Native Americans, settlers and wildlife all used white pines—our state tree.
Imagine being a scientist by exploring our wetlands, recording observations, sketching wildlife and performing simple experiments. Discover the amazing variety of plants and animals that make the wetlands home, and the important work that wetlands do from filtering our water to reducing flooding. A wetlands journal and bingo game are included.
Stretch, lunge, squat, jump, lift and dance your way to fitness using world-renowned sculpture as a springboard. Walk the mile-long Sculpture Park path stopping at various pieces to participate in fitness activities inspired by each. A truly unique combination of art education and exercise.
Good summer program
Armed with sketch pads and pencils, students will practice their observation skills as they explore a variety of unique plants and intriguing sculptures and record their findings with quick drawings and detailed descriptions.
Good summer program
This program allows a teacher to reinforce tour concepts with a related classroom activity or explore two separate topics in the same visit. Cost includes room rental, materials and instruction fees. Combine any tour with any classroom activity. Choose from the following:
Students discuss what distinguishes sculpture from other art forms, what an artist needs in order to create sculpture (idea, tools, materials, money) as well as several different creative methods (additive, subtractive, fabrication, assemblage). Students then work in small teams to create a group sculpture. Younger students use wood; older students use scrap metal pieces. Students title their works and display them in a mock exhibition. (Bring a camera to take souvenir photos of the artwork).
Students learn the function of roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits by comparing the plant parts to ordinary household objects such as a mop, a garden hose or a bottle of perfume. Students then categorize common foods by which part of a plant they represent. Finally, they create a fantasy plant by combining foods from all the categories into a single drawing. Imagine a plant with carrot roots, celery stems, cabbage leaves, broccoli flowers and tomato fruits—yummy!
Students learn about metamorphosis while creating a pasta-art souvenir portraying the four stages of the butterfly life cycle. In addition, fascinating factoids about each stage are shared. Concepts discussed include insect anatomy, camouflage and other amazing defensive strategies. The class may also view Meijer Gardens' own butterfly collection.
Students will discover that butterfly wings are not just beautiful—they're critical to survival. Students will learn how butterflies fly and then observe and sketch the many scales that cover the wings, using a projecting microscope. Students will also observe pinned specimens and discover wings that resemble leaves, wings that are perfectly clear (providing camouflage) as well as butterflies that advertise they're poisonous through bright colors. Those who look closely will discover what else wings can reveal—from a butterfly's gender to its age. Students will then use their creativity to design their own wing patterns.
Extend the learning with a special classroom activity where the students discover the fascinating history of the Polish szopka. Dating back to medieval times, szopki are brightly-colored, gleaming architectural displays combined with a traditional nativity scene. These magnificent creations were originally designed as puppet theaters and used as educational tools during the Christmas season. Using recycled materials, the class will create a group szopka which can be displayed at school. Appropriate for K-12.
Students can try their hand at the art of rangoli, the custom of decorating the threshold of the home with colorful designs using natural materials. These geometric patterns create a special welcome for guests visiting during the holidays. Students will learn more about the Hindu Festival of Light, Diwali, the culture of India, and the tradition of rangoli. Students will create individual rangoli using lentils and beans or other natural materials to take home. Appropriate for all ages.
Led by trained volunteer docents. Limited tours are offered during our annual exhibitions: Christmas and Holiday Traditions Around the World (mid-November through December) and Butterflies Are Blooming (March through April). Otherwise, all tours are offered year-round unless otherwise noted. Choose from the following:
Offered only in the fall, this tour is a perfect way to learn colors, sizes, shapes and number skills while exploring our various plant conservatories. Children will rake a rainbow of leaves and hop-scotch across a terrazzo forest floor.
This tour focuses on biomes and plant adaptations. Students will compare a rainforest and a desert environment with Michigan's own temperate deciduous forest. Students will ponder why cacti have spines and why the largest seed in the world can be found in only one spot.
This tour introduces the student to creative decision-making and the artistic process while exploring the works of major modern and contemporary artists such as Auguste Rodin, George Segal and Dale Chihuly. Whenever possible, this tour will include the current Sculpture Gallery exhibition.
Pretending they are stranded on a tropical island, students are challenged to survive. They will develop life-saving skills as they search for hidden water sources, create a shelter, find food and signal for help. Focusing on the many unique adaptations found in the tropics, they will learn typical rainforest plants, animals and climate conditions.
This outdoor tour uses the work of world-renowned sculptors to illustrate certain artistic concepts. Among the principles explained are scale, materials, placement, style (realistic, abstract and non-objective), surface treatment and setting. Students will appreciate what makes Meijer Gardens unique, and understand why we enjoy an international reputation for our permanent sculpture collection. Students should dress for the weather.
This overview tour focuses on the uniqueness of Meijer Gardens combining both horticultural and sculptural elements. The students will visit our indoor gardens and galleries and receive a brief introduction to each area. Highlights include grass that grows taller than a house, plants that can count and a sculpture with more than 1,500 pieces.
Various materials are available to enhance your experience - please request the materials at the time you make your reservation. Choose from the following:
All sculpture gallery exhibitions offer a Gallery Guide describing the current exhibition, and many also have Family Looking Guides to provide additional, fun activities related to the artwork.
A set of imaginative, child-friendly Activity Cards will help chaperones navigate the ten distinct areas of the Lena Meijer Children's Gardens. Cards provide suggestions for three age/difficulty levels.
Explore the Wetlands with our Wetlands Bingo worksheet. From dragonflies to cattails, students learn about this fascinating habitat as they try to find all the pictured features.
The 1930's come alive at our Michigan's Farm Garden. Discover how farming used to be done by trying our Tool Matching Challenge in the barn.
Search for intriguing sculptures using the visitor map and worksheet. After you find them, try the accompanying activity. Have fun!
Available during our Butterflies are Blooming exhibition are both an identification guide to distinguish the various butterfly species and an Adopt-A-Butterfly worksheet to help the visitor understand butterfly basics including flight patterns, camouflage techniques and behaviors such as puddling.
Sketching is welcomed throughout Meijer Gardens. There are clipboards as well as portable sketching stools for your use. Please request these materials at the time you make your reservation.
Board the Kids' Tram for an interactive, engaging and unique educational experience. Themes can be adapted for a variety of age levels and include:
In Let's Get Moving, students will learn about sculpture through movement and fun. They will practice balance next to Galileo's Wedge, move geometrically like Five Lines and learn the best ways to get their heart pumping a la Scarlatti. Students will strengthen their muscles, their heart and their brain! All activities can also be done seated as well.
We'll be Comin' Round the Gardens on this sing-sational Kids' Tram tour. Students will have the opportunity to participate in rhythms, rounds, rhymes and raps as they roll along; learning about sculptures through fun and familiar songs such as The Wheels on the Tram and Did you Ever See a Spider.
By traveling through the Sculpture Park students will learn a variety of tree-mendous tree facts. Which trees are used to make baseball bats, musical instruments and Popsicle sticks? Students will also use puppets to identify the creatures that live in trees and learn why leaves change color.

Treasury Securities Information and Auction Data Have Moved!
We've moved our information about Treasury securities, except for debt-related data, to TreasuryDirect.gov and we have several links on this page to get you easily to the new site. Also, we've put redirects in place for our most popular pages that will take you automatically to their new location.
Changes to Occur to Hold Code in TreasuryDirect
In the next few weeks, TreasuryDirect will implement changes to improve the security of the online account system for Treasury securities. Among the new security features that will be put into place is a change that will affect accounts established with information our authentication process could not adequately verify.
Purchase Limits
Are you confused about how much you're allowed to purchase in savings bonds or marketable securities each year? It's simple!
Treasury Reintroduces 30-Year Bond
In August of 2005, Treasury announced the reintroduction of the 30-year bond. Treasury will hold its first auction of the bond in five years on February 9, 2006. The last 30-year bond auction took place on August 9, 2001.

New Rate Structure for Series EE Bonds
Series EE Savings Bonds have always been a reliable investment, and they're about to become even more reliable. Instead of waiting to find out what rate your EE bonds will earn every six months, you'll now have the advantage of knowing what they're worth at all times, thanks to the new fixed rate for this series.
Treasury Notes
Treasury notes can be purchased either directly from Treasury or through an intermediary such as a bank or broker. Offered in multiples of $100, notes pay interest every six months at a rate determined when they are auctioned.
Are Your Savings Bonds Still Earning Interest?
If you own savings bonds, you may want to check their issue dates to find out if they're still earning interest. Depending on when you purchased your securities, it may be time to redeem them.
Savings Bonds as Gifts
Did you know U.S. Savings Bonds can be used as a gift for any occasion -- birthdays, weddings, graduations, births, or special holidays? And now, there are two types of savings bonds you can give - electronic (paperless) or paper savings bonds.
Treasury Bills
Treasury bills, like other marketable Treasury securities, are debt obligations of the U.S. Government and are backed by the Government's full faith and credit. A bill is a short-term investment issued for a year or less.
Treasury Hunt
Have you ever wondered how to recover a bond or interest payment that you should have received in the mail? Are you wondering if a deceased relative owned securities? Login into our Treasury Hunt database and find out if we have something that belongs to you.
Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)

Surfing is like nothing else. It's sunburnt backs and bloodshot eyes. It's paddling back out for one more, 10 times. Surfing is melting wax and burning sand. It's warm water, salt water and a dry mouth. It's calling a mate into the best wave of the morning. Surfing is tubes and turns and flying down the line. It's head-dips and chop-hops, hoots and high fives. It's three fins and one fin, two fins and none. Surfing is being local yet still searching. It's road trips, boarding passes and rocking boats. It's a tropical reef and a track through the dunes. Surfing is the first view of the ocean every morning. Surfing is who we are...

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. ~ Yeats
26 December 2011
My Other Life
I used to think that those who watched television were akin to those who worshipped Satan. In the last year or so, the Devil took me by the hand and showed me the way to Hell. The current list of shows I NEVER miss:
Big Bang Theory
Modern Family
Raising Hope
I Hate My Teenage Daughter
Body of Proof
All the Alphabet Shows
Boardwalk Empire
Hell on Wheels
The Closer
Pan Am
Prime Suspect
The Sing Off
Dancing With The Stars
So You Think You Can Dance
The Event
Being Human
Once Upon A Time
Falling Skies
I have fallen further into the Unholy Abyss with my addiction to playing games like Angry Birds, Gardens of Time, Hot Shot, Mah Jong and Word Whomp Whackdown.
As if that weren't enough, I have also fallen prey to timesuckers such as Jibjab, Imagechef, Smurf Yourself and FunnyWow.
I try to redeem myself with puzzles because it almost like doing science, right? I can spend hours with word logic puzzles. However that usually leads me to the jigsaw puzzle. There is ALWAYS a jigsaw puzzle in progress on my dining room table. I can't pass by the table without stopping to fit a piece or two in.
Of course I do all of the above while listening and dancing to music from the Black Eyed Peas, Adele, Matchbox Twenty, Maroon 5, Pussycat Dolls and Lady Gaga.
So what evilalities (yes it is a word, I just now made it up) occupy your time?????

I love a jigsaw puzzle! I had a friend that I would go to her house and do one with her and her husband. I would come in and kick a$$ on it. They would get so mad.
I just learned that my nine year old niece likes them too and we did one together and I cannot wait to do another.
I started doing them before I even started Kindergarden. My paternal grandmother always had one under her tablecloth in her dining room. I learned on the 1000 piece puzzles, unlike most kids that learn on the larger pieces. (Thought I would tie it back to my family history). - December 26, 2011 at 6:55 PM

Actually, I thought it was spelled "evilatte." ;)

My wife has packed a jigsaw puzzle for our trip to Austin for a holiday with grandkids and other two daughters and family... January is our jigsaw puzzle month! ;-)

OMG! Since we found ourselves with an empty nest this fall, we too were led into the abyss by Satan, rediscovering TV. We were shocked to discover that Modern Family wasn't in its first season so we gave each other the first two seasons on dvd for Christmas.
We are now Sing Off and X Factor groupies much to the surprise of our children when they came home for the holidays.
I cant go to bed at night until I watch that days episode of The Closer that I recorded .
We also go on almost daily walks/hikes with the dog. That's a really good thing. Just ask the dog. - December 26, 2011 at 8:28 PM

This is great, Sheri! Lately my husband and I have turned to the dark side, eating dinner in the family room in front of the TV. Our favorite is Castle--aka "Murder and Meatballs." Is it possible to be addicted to the DVR?
- December 26, 2011 at 10:06 PM
- Jo said...
Evilaties! LOL. I read a lot(lovely, lovely Kindle) and also like word puzzles (Word Mole on my Blackberry). I've been without a TV for well over 5 years. I sent it for recycling in a spur of the moment bolshy protest over the UK TV licence fee. Don't miss it much :-)

BAZINGA! I LOVE Big Bang Theory. I try not to miss it or How I Met Your Mother. The rest of TV I can usually leave alone and have for years.
I prefer to read, hang out with my boys, do crossword puzzles, play Blokus (logic puzzle game), listen to the same music you do and add in some country (Lady Antebellum and Gloriana and Rascal Flatts). I watch my 6 year old Tyler do jigsaw puzzles. He says I can help but then doesn't let me. He's a puzzle master and has been for years.
I also drink a lot of coffee at home and at Starbucks with friends (and while I do genealogy).
I love to go to the movies and have lunch or dinner with my girlfriends.
Great post Sheri!! - December 27, 2011 at 6:00 AM
- Jenna said...
Oh Sheri Sheri Sheri...where is Criminal Minds on your viewing list??? :) If you really want to transition over to the dark side you must start watching.
- December 27, 2011 at 6:45 AM
- Sheri said...
Oh Jenna, Jenna, Jenna! I tried to watch it a few times and it scared the crap out of me! Not really gory just a real mind ____!
Terri - If I can try to tie puzzles to science then you can tie it to family history!
Jacqi - Coffee on Wednesday!
Dr. Bill - A whole month of puzzling?
Michelle - It is amazing how fast we get over the empty nest thing
Alex - You better friend me at the Garden!
Shelley - Murder & Meatballs! LOL
Jo - I would have to hurt anyone who tried to throw my TV out!
Susan - We are all pretty much alike, no?
Jen - Bazinga right back at ya! - December 27, 2011 at 7:08 AM
- Deborah Andrew said...
Sheri, GREAT POST! Yes, I meant to yell that because nothing else would express how totally siked (is that the right spelling?) about your post.
I have been in such a trance lately with all of the time suckers that you mentioned. Every time I think of doing a blog post or enter information into my family tree database,I get "sidetracked" with one of the time suckers. Maybe this should be a New Year's resolution for me....I'll have to think about that.
Lastly, I love to do jigsaw puzzles. When it is finished I will glue it, let it dry, frame it and use it for art work in my house. Cheap, fun and pretty. - December 27, 2011 at 7:22 AM
- Dorene from Ohio said...
Sheri -
What a great post! In my other life, I work at a public library, and then when I am off, I enjoy my 2 grandsons, and loads of other members in my extended family. There is always a birthday, wedding, or picnic just around the bend! - December 27, 2011 at 12:04 PM
- Pat O'Donnell Kuhn said...
my father was always doing jigsaw puzzles, infact Deborah, you mentioned about gluing and framing, I have two of his that were just that. One is hanging in my office.
Sheri I love Prime Suspect also, so of course that is why they are taking that off! and you and I share a couple of games on Facebook! - December 27, 2011 at 5:32 PM
- wendy said...
Sheri - did you know you can do jigsaws on the computer? Crazy4jigsaws.com is one place & the other is under the comics section on msnbc - my husband got me addicted! Nice to know you are enjoying yourself! Happy New Year!

And I only have 2 more I-spy quilts in it's current incarnation. (i.e. - the current American Jane borders, binding, and back.) I may redesign this one too, maybe a smaller size. Not sure. Any suggestions? Until then I will keep stocking the little I-spy packets.
And in squeal-worthy news, So You Think You Can Dance is back tomorrow!! WOO! Although I probably couldn't carry-off most of those outfits (nor would I really want to), I do wish I could get my old, decrepit body to dance again. We occasionally have 'dance parties' at our house to songs from old and new musicals [you know, Newsies, High School Musical 1, Singin' In the Rain, etc], but if I try to dance my kids always plead, "MOM! STOP!" So unfortunately I'm already classified as an old geezer, but my awesome little sister actually auditioned for SYTYCD this year. She is in fact, an actual dancer. So just in case you're like me, you can live vicariously here.
WOOPS! Had the wrong link above. It was late last night when I wrote that and I was half listening to the American Idol finale. The link now actually directs where it is supposed to go.

I don't think that was the title of the OP of this thread. But the pattern is familiar. Blame God.
to which you replied in order to support my position quoted above in order to blame God.
Did God create or not create the human species?
You keep verifying my position in blaming god..not human action....human decision, human responsibility. You want all the choices without responsibility.
This historically is also the position of what in some religions is called "The Good God."
Then to solidify your position by default..much like todays crop of politicians.....you use this technique.
I'll take that as a yes.
You keep asking the wrong question at1with0.
The question at issue here is ..are humans accountable for their actions...to God or to something or someone else?? If not to God then who or whom..or what??
That is the matter at issue here. Not holding God accountable. If Humans are not accountable to God...than why would they try to blame God?? That illogic does not even make good nonsense once one learns to think it through.
Once one knows this ...it makes much of human logic and reason ...nonsensical...not even good nonsense.
THen ..once you know this ..you can look at our leadership and see something quite different from the product advertised.

Starring Hyun Bin and Ha Ji WonThis quirky, high concept drama follows a neurotic businessman and a passionate stunt woman who come to possess each other's hearts and bodies...literally! Kim Joo Won is the arrogant, eccentric heir to a large company. Poised to inherit a large department store, he constantly rejects the girls his matchmaking mother sends his way. When he meets Gil Ra Im, a beautiful, driven stunt-woman, she changes his life, as he becomes fascinated by her strength and vulnerability. Ra Im wants nothing to do with this oddball, drawn more to his pop-star cousin Oscar, whose music she admires. Ra Im and Joo Won are thrown together when, due to a magical accident, they end up switching bodies. Now, they'll have to live each other's lives, coming to know each other (and themselves) in the process better than they would have thought possible...
