Rochester Hills native David Havasi takes stage for 'Xanadu'
As a boy, David Havasi never imagined being an actor.
Havasi, born and raised in Rochester Hills, was into sports in middle school, when a friend talked him into attending a dance class. He didn't want to go, but his mother took him to the class.
"I never thought about dance for a second," he said. "I just thought it was not the cool thing to do. Then my mom got wind of it and suggested it'd help out with my sports. She literally dragged me to the class."
It was an all-guys hip-hop dance class taught by two teenagers from Adams High School. Havasi fell in love with the art.
His passion for performance grew until he eventually took it up full-time. Next week, he'll star in a musical production of "Xanadu" in his hometown.
'Xanadu' opens Wednesday, May 23 and runs through June 17 at Meadow Brook Theatre. Tickets are $24 and can be purchased online at www.mbtheatre.com.
The handsome, square-jawed Havasi plays as Sonny Malone, a down-on-his-luck artist from Venice Beach, Calif, in 1980. Malone is confronted by a Greek muse who inspires him to create an artistic expression that can change the world. So he opens a roller disco.
"He's the ultimate underdog," Havasi said. "To him, roller disco means bringing all of mankind to one place to celebrate everything that's great in mankind — art, singing, dancing, music."
Much of the performance will be done on roller skates and the show features songs from the 1970s and 1980. Continued...
"It's a feel-good, fun musical," he said.
The title of "Xanadu" is from a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, in which Xanadu is the name of the Chinese province where Kubla Khan establishes his pleasure garden. The play was based on the 1980 film starring Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly, which was based on earlier films, including "Heaven Can Wait." Newton-John played the muse, who falls in love with Sonny and her forbidden love threatens to banish her to the Underworld.
While in high school, Havasi attended Deborah's Stage Door in Rochester to further his skills. He was also a member of five different choir groups.
Growing up, he said he had always thought about getting in the auto industry. His dad was a senior engineer at Chrysler for more than 35 years. But after graduating from Rochester High School in 1996, he decided to pursue a career in acting. Then he broke the news to his mother and engineer dad.
"I told them, 'I know it's crazy, but I think I want to go into show business,'" Havasi said. "They just didn't know anything about it."
His parents were worried, but told him they'd be at every show to support him.
In the fall of 1996, Havasi enrolled in Oakland University. Needing extra money, he began working at Meadow Brook Theater as an usher.
"I ushered, coat checked, (sold) concessions at intermission and I got to sit on the stairs at the sides of the house and watch the shows," he said.
In 1998, Havasi moved to New York City, where he attended Marymount College-Manhattan. He received his degree in acting and has since gone on to roles in both the Broadway and television versions of "The Producers," as well as parts in "Hello Dolly," "Hairspray" and "The Wizard of Oz."
He met his wife, Liz Power, in 2003 and they married after touring for "The Producers" ended in October of 2009. Continued...
Cheryl Marshall, managing director for Meadow Brook, said Havasi's return to Meadow Brook completes a full circle for him, having started there as an usher and now starring in "Xanadu."
"Having seen this exciting, energetic show on Broadway and then seeing David's audition, we knew he would be the perfect fit for this show," she said. "He is doing an amazing job and is captivating to watch!"

Cranmore, to put it mildly, is a classic. The resort has been in operation for more than six decades and was where Hannes Schneider, the celebrated Austrian skimeister and father of modern skiing, first opened his ski school and brought skiing to the New York and Boston masses. The original skimobile lift is now a museum piece, but there are plenty of modern replacements. Cranmore offers a good dose of daily skiing and surprising challenges.

Date Updated:
Community Sanitation Overview:
Water is derived from a lake about 10 miles from Nelson Lagoon and is treated. Water storage capacity is 850,000 gallons. All homes are connected to the piped water system. Individual wastewater systems enable households to have complete plumbing. A new washeteria was completed in August 1999. The water system needs major improvements, including repair of the distribution system, replacement of about three miles of distribution line, and a new storage tank. There is no garbage collection service, but a landfill is available. Construction on a new water intake and a pump house is planned.
RUBA Status and Activities This Quarter:
On March 19-22, Anchorage RUBA staff traveled to Nelson Lagoon to provide training to utility staff and council. Upon arrival, it was discovered that a majority of the council was absent and staff were occupied with a community emergency. It was determined by the tribal administrator and RUBA staff that the training would be postponed until a later date. RUBA staff began working with tribal staff to address the monthly financial reports for the utility. Information was needed from the utility system, AMPY, which is a prepay program. The tribe uses the AMPY metering system to collect both electric and water use fees. Tribal staff contacted Marsh Creek, who provides technical support and assistance with the AMPY system to see how the water user fees are applied to the customer card. RUBA staff also received the tribal QuickBooks backups to send to the QuickBooks consultants to address multiple issues regarding the utility accounting system.
Capacity Indicator: Finances
Essential Indicators
All revenues and expenses for the utility are listed in the utility budget.
The utility has adopted a balanced realistic budget.
Monthly financial reports are prepared and submitted to the policy making board.
The utility is current in paying all water/wastewater electric bills.

A monthly manager's report is prepared.
Budget amendments are completed and adopted as necessary.
Finances Comment:
The Nelson Lagoon Traditional Council has adopted a utility budget for FY13. Monthly financial reports are given to the council. The electric utility is subsidizing the water utility through the AMPY meter pre-pay system. The tribe received 30,180 gallons of diesel in July 2012. The pumphouse, which is about 10 miles from the community, uses a day tank and gets fuel as needed for the small generator. There are no repair and replacement accounts or line items for repair and replacement in past budgets for the utility. The operator is considered the manager and reports to the council on an as needed basis.
Capacity Indicator: Accounting Systems

The utility does not send out bills to customers as each customer is on the AMPY prepay system for water, wastewater, garbage and electricity. As the tribe uses the AMPY system, any accounts receivable is addressed with each payment the customer makes. An accounts payable system is in place and a report shows three companies are owed a total of $19,928. A cash receipt system is in place that provides the utility and customer receipts of every transaction from a log book. The chart of accounts for the electrical co-op was received and shows all bank accounts, receivables, assets, liabilities, equities and expense accounts for the electrical and water utilities. Bank reconciliations have not been done, but the utility is in the process of getting caught up on these. All financial decisions must go through the tribal administrator and are verbally reported to the council.

A plastic surgeon and his reality TV star wife want to raze an iconic Star Island mansion. Preservationists want to protect it.
And now, an artist living in New York thinks he has a solution: He wants to buy the 1925 home designed by notable architect Walter DeGarmo and restore it to its original grandeur.
"It's a prominent landmark, and it means a lot to me," said Bryan "Mike" Latham, 37, a Miami-raised artist who splits his time between New York, Atlanta and Zurich. "I think the city would be changed if it wasn't there.''
There's just one problem: the mansion is not for sale.
"This isn't about money," said Dr. Leonard Hochstein, whose wife Lisa stars on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Miami. "This is about a family home."
Latham said Thursday by telephone that he offered to pay $7.6 million, the price the Hochsteins paid by buying the bank note on the home. They acquired the home in September, according to property records.
The battle over the Hochsteins' home has brewed since December, when the star couple asked Miami Beach for permission to knock it down. The couple wants to build a 20,000-square-foot home, complete with a wine cellar and five-car garage.
The Miami Design Preservation League, a historic preservation group, filed an application to have the eight-bedroom, seven-bathroom home designated historic — a move that would bound the Hochsteins to preserve it.
"This is a house that has a lot of value for the community," said Daniel Ciraldo, a member of the preservation league.
Located at 42 Star Island Dr., the home overlooks Biscayne Bay from a prime corner of the ultra-exclusive neighborhood, which has been home to Latin music star Gloria Estefan and pharmaceutical billionaire Phillip Frost. A white structure with long, narrow windows, the home can be seen from the MacArthur Causeway.
Hochstein said Thursday the home is crumbling. He said the house is 30 inches below the flood zone and is impossible to elevate. It has cloth electrical wires that have sparked three fires. There's no functional plumbing on the second floor and no air conditioning.
"This is a house that should not be standing, and it's dangerous," Hochstein said.
The city's Design Review Board must approve the Hochsteins' plans. It will meet Feb. 5. The Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board won't consider the application for historic designation until Feb. 12.
Latham, who put in the offer, said he read about the battle brewing over the home and felt compelled to save it. Latham said he remembers marveling at the structure from the Port of Miami, where, as a child, his grandfather would take him to watch the cruise ships setting sail.
"That house has been one of my particular favorites ever since I was a kid,'' said Latham, who graduated from Ransom Everglades School in Coconut Grove. "I can't imagine anyone wanting to tear that down.''
The Star Island home wouldn't be his first renovation job. In August 2010, Latham bought a neglected 19th century home known as "The Castle" in Atlanta and has spent years restoring it.
Boyd Coons of the Atlanta Preservation Center said Latham "saved" the home, which belonged to an eccentric millionaire and featured cannons, a garden and historic memorabilia.
"I think he's an unusual person, and I honestly don't know a lot about his circumstances," Coons said of Latham. "But as I've said, we've seen significant progress on this building that's very important to us. It's making huge progress because of Mike."
The Hochsteins have at least one city commissioner on their side. Jonah Wolfson suggested at Wednesday's commission meeting that the city should prohibit the involuntary historic designation of homes on the Beach. His fellow commission members agreed to send the recommendation to the city's Land Use and Development Committee.
But there's a catch: The committee won't take up the item until the day after the Historic Preservation Board is scheduled to vote on whether to accept preservationists' petition for protection. And, the proposed rule may run afoul of a county provision that bans owner consent as a condition of historic designation — although Miami Beach city attorneys on Thursday said the proposal falls within the city's power.
Meanwhile, Latham said in an email that he plans to persevere.
"I am completely undeterred,'' he wrote. "I can help him find a more suitable property on Star Island to demolish or do as he pleases.''

So I think that I am too early to see a darker line on my tests. All three are now the same taken within 4 days of each other. The BFP line is like a greyed out very light pink shade.
But today I was noticing my hunger and it really has increased!
I nursed my DD for 14 months and was sad when she weaned herself...
I nursed my DS for 10 months and weaned him as he was SO rough to my boobs that I had to wear a bra always, husband could not touch them, and I was loosing too much weight nursing him. 10-15 less than what I was when I was pregnant with him! My boobs decreased an ENTIRE cup size. Talk about depressing! Well when I now feel them there is just more!
Should I test Tue or wait a weed to see a darker line?

Raising the Awareness of Component ObsolescenceAlthough Electronica is largely dedicated to new technology, obsolescence is a growing problem in the supply chain. So this year, Electronica is spending some time on lifecycle management. The Components Obsolescence Group (COG) started in the UK in 1997 when equipment manufacturers recognized that there was a growing problem with component obsolescence, specifically with semiconductors. COG created a forum where equipment manufacturers, users, and solution providers could share information on obsolescence solutions. By 2000, COG UK had grown to more than 150 company members, holding quarterly members' meetings and a bi-annual international conference. The organization includes a wide range of companies, including members from outside the UK, one of which is founding member Rochester Electronics. As the ranks of membership grew with companies outside the UK, the COG international board was created with a view to forming COG organizations in other countries. This led to the formation of COG Deutschland. Today, membership in the German COG group exceeds 90 companies that include a large number of semiconductor manufacturers. Rochester Electronics is one of these members and is the only semiconductor manufacturer participant from the United States. The German COG includes a balance of industry companies that are looking for obsolescence solutions and technology companies that have developed the solutions. Industry companies come from traditional German areas like railway, aviation, and other broadly diverse areas. On Wednesday, November 14, COG Germany organized the Component Obsolescence Group awareness day. The effort was supported by several trade publication articles leading up to Electronica. Rochester and more than a dozen other companies exhibiting at the show participated as information providers. As members of COG Germany, companies welcomed visitors seeking information about obsolescence solutions. We had a nice talk with Ulrich Ermel, the Chairman of COG Deutschland. He told us that "These visitors can be assured that they will learn about how they can confront their individual obsolescence issue and not be given the hard sell by our participating members." Ermel continued by saying that: "COG is community and members are encouraged to participate in the community. Sharing knowledge and helping each other. The balance of type of company is important to COG. There needs to be an equal number of those seeking a solution and those that can provide the solutions." COG is guided by the quality of its membership. Obsolescence is an issue for many companies, but, equally, there are many that can provide relief from these issues. Electronica 2012 COG Obsolescence Day is one way to put the two together. |

"Email is becoming less and less useful as inboxes become cluttered with newsletters and social updates, and people increasingly keep up their personal connections in social networks instead of their email address books," Microsoft's Chris Jones said in a blog post.
"All of this has led many to hope for a better solution so you don't have to settle for today's webmail."
Jones said that in the new Outlook.com service, "your personal email comes alive with photos of your friends, recent status updates and tweets
that your friend has shared with you, the ability to chat and video call -- all powered by an always up-to-date contact list that is connected to your social networks."
The new Outlook.com replaces Hotmail, which was launched in 1996 and was among the first Web-based email services. It is still among the largest with 350 million users.
The upgrade drew some early positive reviews.
"Designed as an eventual replacement to Hotmail, the free browser-based service sports a strikingly simple interface, Skydrive and social media integration, and lots of tweaks both new and familiar," the editors at Cnet wrote.
"And with a promise of 'virtually unlimited' storage (we'll see how that pans out), it should satisfy the most prolific writers and media consumers."
Mashable's Peter Pachal said Outlook's "most interesting new feature" is "social integration."
"For whomever you're conversing with, Outlook imports their most recent tweets and Facebook updates, along with links to profile pages," he wrote.
"You can even Like, comment, retweet and @reply straight from the pane."
Pachal added: "Microsoft's mail service has never been this clean or usable -- or looked this similar to Gmail -- before... Microsoft's Web email service is much improved, and I'd even say superior to Gmail in many ways. If users are to have any issues, it'll probably be with the Outlook name. The brand generates a lot of bad blood among users, and people inherently fear sweeping changes."

This is what my level 4 city looks like in Beta 2-A with the HUD turned off (the HUD will let me see at a glance what a city is producing but that won't be in until beta 3).
Generally speaking, we've been cleaning through city improvements that had been lurking around for a long time that had been marked for deletion for awhile but we hadn't gotten to it. You can still build some pretty hefty cities but they're a lot less redundant and as you get to know the game, you can, at a glance, tell what is what.
I like this change. Let's hope the re-balanced improvements encourage the upgrading of an existing city instead of building a new one!
Ahh, much nicer.
are you going to fix the inorganic look problem in the future?
i mean:
1) the regular ground cover between buildings
2) adjectancy
3) merging of buildings
otherwise it looks good, release the new beta already
This has been bugging me for awhile...but why cant that Inn be incorporated into the town itself?
Looks cleaner than in 2-nil. In that picture I'd like to have cobbled streets, wonder if that is doable. Would hide that road as well, but those will probably see sense soon enough. You really want us to try this 'broken and unplayable' thing don't you?
1. Yes.
2. I'm not sure what you mean. We do want to have buildings that if placed adjacent increase the adjacent building's production. I.e. a windmill next to a farm increases the farm's output. We want to keep these relatively rare and they would be improvements that would come in pairs or groups so that players aren't having to remove improvements because they don't have a spot for the new one.
3. Maybe.
The Inn is supposed to go away entirely, it's a bug.
It's coming (cobbled streets). Cosmetics are something we'll be addressing later on.
The way things look and are animated are going to get a lot of polishing (particularly fighting and spell related) between now and release.
Will there be enough improvements that you still have to make choices between what you want at the high end, or is there enough space to just throw down everything?
Glad to hear it, especially with regards to #1 - all you really need are some cobblestone streets or something similar between buildings, and it'll look much more integrated. More like a city than a dozen buildings sitting on the grass next to each other. [Would also be nice if the outside roads connected in to the city's street network, rather than running diagonally through existing buildings as in the screenshot ]
#2 sounds fine as well, I can live with adjacency as long as we're talking about buildings available with the same technology that we can build at the same time, and never end up in a situation like "I just researched these new windmills, now I need to go find every city with an old farm and demolish some buildings to fit them in."
Looks like a very nice town you got there (waits for update).
Still I really can't see why people hate the way this game looks... Its Awesome!
Cool. It'd be nice to see cobbled streets, with some straw/hay scattered in the corners and up against the buildings so it doesn't look too clean, and have the occasional chicken running around.
Sounds great! Looks to be a big improvment to how things are now. I really like the way cities look in this game, makes them look a lot more interesting than in most games like this.
This is probably something that will be fixed eventually, but I hope the glaring cosmetic tech level/architecture differences in some of the buildings is addressed. For instance, currently in early games, a temple looks a lot more advanced then most other buildings. In the picture above, the council and command post look woefully lower tech then the rest of the city.
Very nice to see city building improvements and hearing about the visual polish. I would love to see a city built on a mountainside a la the white city in LotR. Or anything that would not be quite so flat and symmetrical.
Improvement wise the thing that comes to mind looking at that pic is that the command post should merge into the Fortress which should be the hub of all things military after it has been built.
And the trees could use more detail, but I guess that's part of the polish that is underway.
While on the subject of buildings and towns, will there be alternate building styles we can pick out without modding? So I can, for example, have longhouses and huts rather than the 1600s looking ones we've seen so far?

Agree there, the council I don't mind since it matches with a garden or green in the middle of the town (maybe not a full-scale city but a town probably has one). The army camp shouldn't be within the city walls imho. It should be a 2x2 (might still take one square in the city limit of buildings) and be placed outside. Real life army camps never fit inside cities so it should be external which also makes it a point worth defending. Officer academies or engineer schools should however be inside the city walls. (Archery ranges and stables should be outside). Nothing necessary but worth some thought.
That is a nice looking town. I'm much more sold than I thought I'd be. Still, I liked the rural feel of gardens.
Nix that last comment there is clearly a garden.
the same can be said about farms
don't forget gates in the walls, as of now it looks a bit silly when the road passes through walls
otherwise thanks for your quick reply
i'd love to see some great, funny, surprising animations that are not so 0815 (dawn of war being a good example for good animations imo)
I must echo this question because that was the first thing I wondered. I remember reading previews to GalCiv2 (PC) that stated the reason for going with the building system you did (ie: fixed number of workable tiles to place buildings on) was that you wanted to avoid the "build everything" mentality that appears in some of these turn based strategy games. It's an idea that I fully agree with, or at least, I agree that building a city should be more involved than simply building every structure available to you, with only the order being the important factor.
I am confused, is this food output of the garden the same?
And if so, has the housing improved so much to balance the lack of gardens out?
He also has an oasis, don't those produce food? (Never managed to claim one, no idea). Also could have other cities producing food to support his housing, we really don't know.
Soooo are you releasing BETA 2-A now?

A Calera man was injured Sunday after he drove his vehicle into a tree, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.
Erik Ray Patty, 22, was flown from the scene of the 3:15 p.m. crash to Plano Medical Center, Plano, Texas, where he was listed in serious condition with head, and internal and external trunk injuries.
According to the patrol, Patty was driving at a high speed eastbound on Bray Road at Highway 70E five miles east of Roberta when he lost control of his Mitsubishi, drove off the roadway to the left, overcorrected, and then went off the road to the right where his vehicle struck a tree.
Patty was not wearing a seat belt and according to Trooper Colby Murray's report, driving too fast for the conditions was the cause of the crash.
Trooper Robby Keeling assisted in the investigation.

The Studenica Monastery was established in the late 12th century by Stevan Nemanja, founder of the medieval Serb state, shortly after his abdication. It is the largest and richest of Serbia's Orthodox monasteries. Its two principal monuments, the Church of the Virgin and the Church of the King, both built of white marble, enshrine priceless collections of 13th- and 14th-century Byzantine painting.
Fondé vers la fin du XIIe siècle, peu après son abdication, par Stevan Nemanja, créateur de l'État serbe médiéval, le monastère de Studenica est le plus vaste et le plus riche des monastères orthodoxes de Serbie. Ses deux monuments principaux, l'église de la Vierge et l'église du Roi, construits en marbre blanc, en font un véritable conservatoire de la peinture byzantine des XIIIe et XIVe siècles.
بعد استسلامه بفترة وجيزة وفي نهاية القرن الثاني عشر، عمد ستيفان نيمانيا الذي أسس دولة صربيا في القرون الوسطى الى بناء هذا الدير الذي يعتبر أكبر الأديرة الارثذكسية الصربية حجماً وأكثرها عنى. كما ان نصبيه الرئيسَين المتمثلين في كنيسة العذراء وكنيسة الملك والمصنوعين من الرخام الأبيض يجعلان منه معهداً حقيقياً لفن الرسم البيزنطي الخاص بالقرن الثالث عشر والرابع عشر.
Монастырь Студеница был основан в конце ХII в. Стефаном Неманей, основоположником средневекового сербского государства, вскоре после его отречения. Это крупнейший и богатейший из православных монастырей Сербии. Два его главных памятника – церковь Богоматери и Королевская церковь - построены из белого мрамора и содержат бесценные собрания византийской живописи ХIII-ХIV вв.
Fundado por Stevan Nemanja, creador del Estado serbio medieval, poco después de su abdicación, hacia finales del siglo XII, el cenobio de Studenica es el más vasto y rico de los monasterios ortodoxos de Serbia. Sus dos monumentos principales, la iglesia de la Virgen y la del Rey, construidas en mármol blanco, albergan un auténtico museo de la pintura bizantina de los siglos XIII y XIV.Fundado por Stevan Nemanja, creador del Estado serbio medieval, poco después de su abdicación, hacia finales del siglo XII, el cenobio de Studenica es el más vasto y rico de los monasterios ortodoxos de Serbia. Sus dos monumentos principales, la iglesia de la Virgen y la del Rey, construidas en mármol blanco, albergan un auténtico museo de la pintura bizantina de los siglos XIII y XIV.
Studenica is the high point of Serbian history. The monastery contains the remains of the first Serbian kings, the remains, the shroud and the coffin of Stefan Prvovencani. This is where St Sava Nemanjic, the founder's youngest son, wrote the first literary work in the Serbian language and founded the Serbian Orthodox Church, which was separate from that of Byzantium.
The monastery is a veritable museum of 13th-century Byzantine painting (frescoes in the naos and the sanctuary of the Virgin Mary in 1208-9; frescoes of the southern chapel, in the same church, 1233-34; frescoes of St Nicholas, c. 1230) and 14th-century Byzantine painting (King's Church frescoes, just after 1314). Moreover, the monastery contains important and significant painted ensembles from the so-called post-Byzantine period and more than 100 precious objects in its treasury.
The monastery was built in the middle of a large clearing crossed by the Studenica River. It is surrounded by a circular wall roughly 115 m in diameter. Beyond the farmland are superb forests where broadleaved trees (oak, lime, elm, ash, beech and wild pear) and conifers (black and silver pines) grow on the slopes of three massifs which are 80% wooded. Here, in 1183, Stefan Nemanja founded the Great Joupan. He wanted to build a funerary church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. After abdicating in 1196 and withdrawing to become a monk on Mount Athos in 1197, his sons carried out his wish. The Church of the Virgin Mary was completed by Prince Vukan and his brothers who, in 1208-9, had it decorated with the paintings of Greek artists.
Studenica was the necropolis of the Nemanjic dynasty and over the centuries it developed into one of the focal points of Serbian history. The monastery grew larger within its walls, and refectories and the monks' living quarters were installed along the curve of the circular wall. As foundations increased, more sanctuaries were created in the central area. Some small constructions were clustered together to the south of the original church: St Nicholas (from c. 1240), St John and in the early 14th century, St Anne and St Joachim, the famous King's Church, completed in 1314. At the same time votive chapels, oratories and hermitages were built in the mountains outside the walls.
The two principal monuments of Studenica, the Church of the Virgin Mary and the King's Church, are both in a very satisfactory state of conservation. This is true of the brickwork and the wall construction in marble of the main church. The upper courses of this marble, which was drawn from nearby quarries, has acquired a beautiful golden patina, but the wonderful precision of the Romanesque sculptors responsible for the west and south gates and the great east window has not been obliterated by time.
The King's Church houses the most beautiful murals painted by Michael and Eutychios. Not long after 1314 they painted a cycle of the Life of the Virgin Mary which is among the leading works of Byzantine art. After having worked at the Peribleptos of Ohrid and painting a series of Serbian churches (those of the Virgin of Lievisa, of Zica, of Staro Nagoricino, of Gracanica, etc.) for King Milutin, these painters found the most perfect expression of their style in Studenica: density of forms and volumetric rendering of faces combined with astounding execution which, in terms of perfection, is very close to that of icons, with highlighting in bright colours, shadows and light executed a secco.
The primitive Church of the Virgin Mary served as a model for the churches of Rascie, which constitute a special branch of the great Orthodox family. This royal funeral church was imitated in Banjska, Decani and the Holy Archangels of Prizren. The murals of the naos and the sanctuary, made in 1208-9, are among the first examples of the 'monumental' style that emerged in various different regions after the capturing of Constantinople in 1205 by the Crusaders. These paintings, which are characterized by a new concept of space and a new expressiveness, are an essential milestone in the history not only of Byzantine art, but also of Western art. Cimabue, Duccio and Giotto were also part of this current.

The Logan County High School football team opened the season Friday night with a game against the Butler County Bears. The Cougars were ready and fired up for the game, but in the end came up short to the Bears with a 27-13 loss.
The first half of the game the Cougars showed good potential and enthusiasm against the Bears but it faded after halftime. Senior Justin Rone scored the first touchdown for the Cougars with three minutes to go in the first quarter.
Early in the second quarter, Butler County came back and scored a touchdown to tie the game. The Cougars fought back and sophomore Taylor Blakemore scored the second touchdown at the end of the second quarter.
In the second half, the Cougars would fall as the Bears scored three more touchdowns which would result in a 27-13 loss.
"We played a really good football team and got out played," said LCHS coach Dain Gregory. "We hit a wall at the end of the second quarter and we don't know how to push through that wall yet."
Gregory said the team played a sloppy game in the second half and had several missed opportunities. The Cougars head to South Warren next Friday to face the Spartans. Gregory says the team is going to prepare for this game.
"We've got to fix our mistakes and we will have a very competitive game next week against a good football team," said Gregory.
Logan County (0-1) will be back in action this week at South Warren. Last season, the Cougars beat South Warren for their first-ever win under coach Gregory.

The phosphorescent, indoor landscape at Monster Mini Golf immerses putters in an eerie universe that inverts the sun-soaked cheer of conventional courses. Rimmed in glowing green barriers, 18 holes lure swingers of all sizes to challenge their coordination and resolve in the face of winged monsters, scowling animated trees, a creepy clown, and their opponents' shockingly dazzling smiles. Sheltered from searing rain and howling wind, the indoor course enables play around hazards such as a spell well and luminous, ghostly windmill at any time of the year. An in-house radio station and DJ mask the sound of pounding hearts with lively beats and course commentary, and golfers looking for additional glory can win prizes by participating in regular contests or at the onsite arcade (arcade games not covered by this Groupon).
Danbury Ice Arena's professional skating instructors introduce students to the fine art of figure-eighting with weekly classes based on the curriculum of the Ice Skating Institute. Children as young as three years old can begin instruction in the Tot 1 course, which is designed to instill a sense of comfort and confidence on the ice through techniques such as marching in place, falling properly, and getting up. As skaters expand their abilities, they may continue with progressive course levels that build upon each other. Both adult and child introductory courses focus on beginning techniques such as marching and stopping, which provide a foundation for techniques learned in advanced levels such as performing one-foot glides, making snowplow stops, and evading goalies who have grown tired of being senselessly bombarded with pucks.
The pristine, recently renovated fairways at Meadows Golf Club snake around 12 ponds that vary in size and factor into play-making decisions on at least 14 holes. Water makes itself a prevalent threat to golf balls that are afraid to swim on the 9th and 18th holes, where larger ponds loom ominously to finish out the front and back nines. The 9th, a 240-yard uphill par 3, demands steely nerved shots over two ponds: one that stretches past the tee box to the player's center-right and another that runs along the left all the way to the green. On the par 4 18th, players again face down a tee shot over water, this time being forced to keep their drive to the right to avoid water along the length of the fairway, as well as packs of ravenous ball washers that roam the course in search of prey.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 70 course
- 6,345 yards from the back tees
- Three sets of tees
At Tread Bike Shop, a team of cyclists and professional mechanics unite patrons with their perfect two-wheeled soulmates. Two employees are masters in the art of Body Geometry Fitting, in which they adjust handlebars and saddles to account for riders' comfort, efficiency, and safety while maintaining their ability to outrace cheetahs escaped from the zoo. Further catering to customers' individual needs, the staff helps to select bikes from brands such as Cannondale and Dohan and prepare them for test drives. Throughout the store, a vast inventory of accessories and apparel equips riders for any biking situation, and a repair center tunes up frames and erases evidence of collisions with car doors suddenly painted on brick walls. The shop also rents out both comfort and sports models for abbreviated excursions through the city's streets and parks.
Get America Tours's knowledgeable guides escort groups of sightseers on more than 20 extended and mini tours. Tours journey to places like New York City and the Grand Canyon on 1- to 11-day jaunts taken at a comfortable pace, allowing patrons to hit the area's highlights and spend time soaking up their new setting. Highly trained guides share a wealth of information about history, local gems, and cultural tradition with their tour members. Some guides, able to speak Spanish and German, are also trained as multilingual emissaries. Passengers are ferried across the United States and Canada in either buses, vans, or minivans, depending on the number of passengers, ensuring that tours are never cancelled due to a lack of passengers or an overabundance of giant stuffed animals.
As husband-and-wife botanists Nathaniel Lord Britton and Elizabeth Gertrude Knight Britton explored the majestic Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Elizabeth asked a question that would bloom into something huge.
"Why couldn't we have something like this in New York?"
When the couple returned, they threw themselves into exploring that idea. In 1891, the state set aside land for the project, and private financiers including Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and J. Pierpont Morgan matched the city's financial commitments. In 1896, Nathaniel Lord Britton became The New York Botanical Garden's first director.
Today, the garden's mission is to be "an advocate for the plant kingdom," aiming to lead the charge to document every species of plant and fungus on the planet. Varied terrains unfurl across its 250 acres, including rolling hills, waterfalls, and 50 acres of the forest that once blanketed New York City. All told, there are more than a million plants within 50 gardens and plant collections.
Visitors can learn how to manage their own plants at the Home Gardening Center, which opened in 2005, then enter the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory—a New York City landmark that was unveiled in 1902 as the country's largest Victorian-style glass house. Rotating exhibitions and family events give visitors a reason to come back every season, and there are plenty of hands-on activities for kids, such as digging in the dirt until they reach hot magma in the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden.

i want to from my client side to send the data to the server and the server validate the data and send back the response.
so i found something like this when i was searching
function submitData() { console.log('Sending Data'); var JSONObject = {}; var url = 'http://mywebsite/server/' // construct an HTTP reques var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open('POST', url, true); xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=UTF-8') // send the collected data as JSON xhr.send(JSON.stringify(JSONObject)); xhr.onloadend = function () { //check the result & error messages }; }
i'm need help :(
thanks in advance.
... what is your question?
I have no idea how to submit form with native js.
in jQuery you can use $.post or $.get
example: $.post('process.php', {field1: "value", field2: "value"}, function(result){ //result is response from process.php, such as echo $value etc. });
hope it helps.

Who knew about the view? It has a value, too.
That's what we're learning from the men and women working on an ambitious new project in the county that could benefit us all by attracting more visitors to the area.
This week we checked in on the progress being made on the Hwy 73 preservation project. This effort to combine geographic features of the Sandhills and Piedmont with cultural and historic aspects of the area is still going strong, according to Sandhills Area Land Trust Consultant Jesse Wimberley.
Wimberley has teamed up with Richmond County Cooperative Extension Agent Paige Burns and Richmond County Planning and Zoning Director of GIS James Armstrong to strengthen the relationship between landowners along U.S. Highway 73 and the organizations that offer programs to foster economic goals and culturally historic goals. This project is part of the Sandhills Area Land Trust's (SALT) effort to preserve the history and natural resources along scenic by-ways in North Carolina.
One main goal is to encourage new economic development in rural areas through the promotion of the scenic by-way, and to draw tourist dollars into the area.
When Wimberley speaks of the preservation effort, he uses a term many people may not be familiar with: view-shed.
"As people travel along the road, they have a very positive experience," said Wimberley. "It makes you feel better. It induces you to feel like you want to see more — you want to explore. It makes the whole experience pleasurable."
Wimberley hopes to help landowners expand the "view-shed" by implementing strategies to increase land value and to entice businesses to locate along Highway 73.
"It will have a accumulative effect if we set up the climate for business growth," said Wimberley.
One strategy Wimberley aims for is to place a map in the hands of people who are interested in the area.
"I want to create a hard copy map," said Wimberley. "It will be something you can pick up and it will have all three scenic byways (in this area of the state). I hope it will catch your eye. Then for more details you would go to the website."
Wimberley said the website should allow visitors to the area to create a personalized tour tailored to their interests.
"For instance, if you like birdwatching, you would put that in and the website would tell you where to stop along the way, where good viewing spots were," said Wimberley.
Tourists with time and money to spend may enjoy a trip to a local vineyard, later stop by a rural peach farm, or just enjoy the fall colors as they dress up Richmond County's countryside in the fall.
At a kickoff event for the project last fall, Burns said, "This project will build on that sense of community and share it with others who are seeking to experience something new and different off the beaten path. Ultimately, the Scenic By-way project seeks to promote a beautiful and little known part of Richmond County, protecting what makes it special and yet bringing economic benefits to those who are fortunate enough to live and own businesses there."
We like the mix of preservation and innovation.

The Atlanta-based EQUIP World Relay members began their walk to Guatemala on Monday, and passed through LaGrange on Friday morning.
The 2,400-mile expedition left from Atlanta Monday morning, and reached LaGrange on Friday, traveling about 22 miles per day by foot.
EQUIP CEO and President John Hull said that the walk was created to draw attention to issues and struggles in Guatemala and other countries around the world, and to provide leadership training to their leaders.
"Our founder, John Maxwell challenged us 14 months ago to look at leadership training," said Hull. "We wanted to not just train leaders, but challenge them to become leaders of influence."
Hull said that organization is beyond profits and puts value on community service and influence of leaders, including government officials, to change their "self-serving" images to become more service oriented. He seeks more churches and organizations to get involved in the community and more people to volunteer.
With Maxwell being internationally recognized as a leadership expert and New York Times best selling author for his books on leadership, Guatemalan leaders asked EQUIP leaders to help them in leadership training to help their country become more developed.
"Half of the women in Guatemala are illiterate and have at most a sixth grade education." explained Hull. "Forty seven percent of the children there suffer chronic malnutrition, which affects their ability to think and focus in school. That's a leadership issue."
According to Hull, leaders in Guatemala asked for help in training about 140,000 public school teachers and about 100,000 private school teachers. After arriving in Guatemala in approximately 110 more days, there will be a rally to discuss more needs and leadership issues in the nation.
In efforts to strengthen nation's leaders, the relay also takes supporters on a physical, mental, spiritual and emotional journey that can develop skills that leadership is based. Such a challenges are hard work and sacrifice. Supporters come from all around the world to participate in EQUIP relays. In addition to the EQUIP members, five supporters came to be a part of the walk through LaGrange, from Florida, Egypt, Canada, Ohio and Tennessee.
A total of 50 supporters have participated in the walk from Atlanta to Opelika, Ala. It is estimated that 1,000 people will have participated in the walk when the relay reaches El Paso, Texas and a total of 1,000 supporters is expected to walk from Mexico to Guatemala.
A map of the relay can be found at http://equipworldrelay.org/attend. To sign up to walk, pray, give or for more information, visit http://equipworldrelay.org.

Most of the explanations I have read on Hawking radiation have certain things in common.
1.) Virtual pair creation via borrowing energy from the vacuum (HUP).
2.) One of the virtual particles has positive energy and the other has negative energy.
3.) The negative energy particle is capture by the hole and the positive energy particle escapes to infinity.
Im having a lot of trouble understanding the above. If one of the particles has negative energy then why does energy have to be borrowed from the vacuum? It would seem that +E -E equals a net zero energy requirement. Why is any borrowing of energy via the HUP necessary?
Why does the negative energy particle necessarily get captured by the BH? It would seem that either particle would have an equal probability of being captured.

For Miller, now it's back to the future
If accepting a job as director of basketball administration at UConn seems unbecoming for someone with Glen Miller's resume, he doesn't necessarily see it that way.
"It is what it is," Miller said on Friday. "It's a step backward, the first time I've had to experience a step back like this, but I'm just very excited to get this opportunity. I'm looking at it as I'm not on the floor coaching this year, but I'll have a chance to help in a lot of other areas, and it will enhance me as a coach."
Indeed, Miller, 49, sees this as a chance to get back into the college basketball coaching world after being unceremoniously bounced from it less than a year ago. Miller spent the prior 10 seasons as coach of a pair of Ivy League programs (Brown and Pennsylvania) before being fired by Penn in the midst of the season last December.
Miller had won an Ivy League title in his first season (2006-07) at Penn, but went just 29-51 over the next 2 1/2 seasons before being dumped.
"You always want to be successful, individually and collectively, and I didn't experience the kind of success I had experienced in my previous 20 years
Getting back into the coaching world isn't easy, however, especially with the blemish of being fired mid-season on his resume and rumors that he was never really able to connect with Penn fans the way his predecessor, Fran Dunphy, did.
Miller tried for a few head coaching jobs that didn't work out, and probably could have latched on as an assistant at one of a few other programs. Ultimately, he decided to come back home and work under Jim Calhoun again. A two-time Register Class LL All-State player at Fitch (1978 and '79), Miller played for Calhoun for two seasons (1981-83) at Northeastern and was an assistant under him at UConn from 1986-93.
"It's great," Miller said. "He's given me some good opportunities, and he's giving me another one now. I'm excited to get back and do what I can to help the program win another national championship, which is our goal."
Miller takes over for Beau Archibald, who spent three seasons at the position before resigning last month in the wake of alleged NCAA recruiting violations. When Archibald (and before that Patrick Sellers, who also resigned from his assistant coach position last month) held the job, it was called "director of basketball operations."
Now, UConn is calling it director of basketball administration. What exactly Miller's duties will be in the newly re-titled position haven't been clearly defined. He calls himself a "utility guy," and he'll be a liaison between the program and the athletics department's compliance and business offices, while also being involved in staff meetings, drawing up game plans, Xs and Os, and many other things. Continued...
Two things Miller will not be able to do are on-floor coaching (in games or practices) and recruiting.
"No doubt, I'm going to miss those things," Miller said. "But a lot of duties that I have are things I've been involved with as an assistant coach or a head coach. I have a lot of experience in those areas, and those areas are vital to a program's success. I can have an impact, even not being on the floor and out on the road recruiting."
"On top of that," he said, "I still have the experience and qualifications to recruit and coach on the floor if, down the road, a situation presents itself. I'm kind of like a utility guy. I can cover a lot of areas."
Miller's "demotion", if you will, is hardly unprecedented. Several other coaches at successful (albeit low-major) Division I programs have resurfaced in similar positions at bigger programs. Dennis Wolff, the longtime coach at Boston University, is now director of basketball operations at Virginia Tech. And Barry Hinson, who had a long stint as head man at Missouri State, hooked up with Kansas two seasons ago as director of external relations before being promoted to director of basketball operations recently.
"It's a profession that is very rewarding, a lot of fun, but it's very difficult to get jobs," Miller said. "If you stub your toe once, you have to have the opportunity to get back into it. Right now, I'm in a great situation."
