Subpart B - Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
Code of Federal Regulations
Standard No. 302; Flammability of interior materials.
This standard specifies burn resistance requirements for materials used in the occupant compartments of motor vehicles.
The purpose of this standard is to reduce the deaths and injuries to motor vehicle occupants caused by vehicle fires, especially those originating in the interior of the vehicle from sources such as matches or cigarettes.
This standard applies to passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses.
Definitions. Occupant compartment air space
means the space within the occupant compartment that normally contains refreshable air.
S4.1 The portions described in S4.2 of the following components of vehicle occupant compartments shall meet the requirements of S4.3: Seat cushions, seat backs, seat belts, headlining, convertible tops, arm rests, all trim panels including door, front, rear, and side panels, compartment shelves, head restraints, floor coverings, sun visors, curtains, shades, wheel housing covers, engine compartment covers, mattress covers, and any other interior materials, including padding and crash-deployed elements, that are designed to absorb energy on contact by occupants in the event of a crash.
S4.1.1 [Reserved]
S4.2 Any portion of a single or composite material which is within 13 mm of the occupant compartment air space shall meet the requirements of S4.3.
S4.2.1 Any material that does not adhere to other material(s) at every point of contact shall meet the requirements of S4.3 when tested separately.
S4.2.2 Any material that adheres to other materials at every point of contact shall meet the requirements of S4.3 when tested as a composite with the other material(s).
Code of Federal Regulations
Material A has a non-adhering interface with material B and is tested separately. Part of material B is within 13 mm of the occupant compartment air space, and materials B and C adhere at every point of contact; therefore, B and C are tested as a composite. The cut is in material C as shown, to make a specimen 13 mm thick.
S4.3(a) When tested in accordance with S5, material described in S4.1 and S4.2 shall not burn, nor transmit a flame front across its surface, at a rate of more than 102 mm per minute. The requirement concerning transmission of a flame front shall not apply to a surface created by cutting a test specimen for purposes of testing pursuant to S5.
(b) If a material stops burning before it has burned for 60 seconds from the start of timing, and has not burned more than 51 mm from the point where the timing was started, it shall be considered to meet the burn-rate requirement of S4.3(a).
S5.1.1 The test is conducted in a metal cabinet for protecting the test specimens from drafts. The interior of the cabinet is 381 mm long, 203 mm deep, and 356 mm high. It has a glass observation window in the front, a closable opening to permit insertion of the specimen holder, and a hole to accommodate tubing for a gas burner. For ventilation, it has a 13 mm clearance space around the top of the cabinet, ten holes in the base of the cabinet, each hole 19 mm in diameter and legs to elevate the bottom of the cabinet by 10 mm, all located as shown in Figure 1.
Code of Federal Regulations
S5.1.2 Prior to testing, each specimen is conditioned for 24 hours at a temperature of 21 °C, and a relative humidity of 50 percent, and the test is conducted under those ambient conditions.
S5.1.3 The test specimen is inserted between two matching U-shaped frames of metal stock 25 mm wide and 10 mm high. The interior dimensions of the U-shaped frames are 51 mm wide by 330 mm long. A specimen that softens and bends at the flaming end so as to cause erratic burning is kept horizontal by supports consisting of thin, heat-resistant wires, spanning the width of the U-shaped frame under the specimen at 25 mm intervals. A device that may be used for supporting this type of material is an additional U-shaped frame, wider than the U-shaped frame containing the specimen, spanned by 10-mil wires of heat-resistant composition at 25 mm intervals, inserted over the bottom U-shaped frame.
S5.1.4 A bunsen burner with a tube of 10 mm inside diameter is used. The gas adjusting valve is set to provide a flame, with the tube vertical, of 38 mm in height. The air inlet to the burner is closed.
S5.1.5 The gas supplied to the burner has a flame temperature equivalent to that of natural gas.
Preparation of specimens.
S5.2.1 Each specimen of material to be tested shall be a rectangle 102 mm wide by 356 mm long, wherever possible. The thickness of the specimen is that of the single or composite material used in the vehicle, except that if the material's thickness exceeds 13 mm, the specimen is cut down to that thickness measured from the surface of the specimen closest to the occupant compartment air space. Where it is not possible to obtain a flat specimen because of surface curvature, the specimen is cut to not more than 13 mm in thickness at any point. The maximum available length or width of a specimen is used where either dimension is less than 356 mm or 102 mm, respectively, unless surrogate testing is required under S4.1.1.
S5.2.2 The specimen is produced by cutting the material in the direction that provides the most adverse test results. The specimen is oriented so that the surface closest to the occupant compartment air space faces downward on the test frame.
S5.2.3 Material with a napped or tufted surface is placed on a flat surface and combed twice against the nap with a comb having seven to eight smooth, rounded teeth per 25 mm.
(a) Mount the specimen so that both sides and one end are held by the U-shaped frame, and one end is even with the open end of the frame. Where the maximum available width of a specimen is not more than 51 mm, so that the sides of the specimen cannot be held in the U-shaped frame, place the specimen in position on wire supports as described in S5.1.3, with one end held by the closed end of the U-shaped frame.
(b) Place the mounted specimen in a horizontal position, in the center of the cabinet.
(c) With the flame adjusted according to S5.1.4, position the bunsen burner and specimen so that the center of the burner tip is 19 mm below the center of the bottom edge of the open end of the specimen.
(d) Expose the specimen to the flame for 15 seconds.
(e) Begin timing (without reference to the period of application of the burner flame) when the flame from the burning specimen reaches a point 38 mm from the open end of the specimen.
(f) Measure the time that it takes the flame to progress to a point 38 mm from the clamped end of the specimen. If the flame does not reach the specified end point, time its progress to the point where flaming stops.
(g) Calculate the burn rate from the formula:
B = Burn rate in millimeters per minute
D = Length the flame travels in millimeters, and
T = Time in seconds for the flame to travel D millimeters.

Small and mid-sized private bank shares like Karnataka Bank Ltd, Lakshmi Vilas Bank Ltd and Dhanalaxmi Bank were up 15-20% from the previous close, after Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Raghuram Rajan suggested the policy framework for foreign banks would be liberalised in a manner that would allow them to take over smaller Indian banks.
"That is going to be a big opening because one could even contemplate taking over Indian banks, small Indian banks and so on,� Rajan said at a gathering in Washington on Saturday, adding the final guidelines on the policy framework for foreign banks operating in India would be out in the next few weeks.
Banks like Karnataka Bank, Lakshmi Vilas Bank and Dhanalaxmi Bank led the rally on Monday in response to Rajan's comments as markets speculated on possible takeover candidates.
South India-based banks such as Karnataka Bank and Lakshmi Vilas Bank that have a strong franchise in the Southern markets have always been seen as possible acquisition candidates. The two banks reported total advances worth R25,244 crore and Rs 11,849 crore respectively, as on June 30. Karnataka Bank's market cap as on Monday stood at Rs 2,051.57 crore, while that of Lakshmi Vilas Bank was at Rs 759.43 crore.
In his comments, Rajan said foreign banks which choose to operate in India through the wholly-owned subsidiary model will receive "near national treatment" however, with riders.
�Your country should allow the same to our own banks and secondly, you come through one route either you have a branch or you have a subsidiary; don't do both,� he said.
The comments come in light of the discussion paper on foreign banks in India which RBI first issued in January 2011. The policy framework, however, has still not been finalised despite multiple rounds of deliberations. Among other things, the paper mooted the idea of allowing foreign banks to operate through a wholly-owned subsidiary model in India, which would give them treatment similar to domestic banks.
Meanwhile, foreign banks have been circumspect on the option of subsidiarisation as it would restrict their ability to

Microsoft is aiming the SideWinder X6 keyboard at the serious PC gamer who demands programmable keys and customisable functionality. In our opinion, the X6, available for around £40 online, is sure to please even the most hard-core gamer.
The X6 is a slick black keyboard that measures 51.3cm by 4.6cm by 23.4cm. It takes up a fair amount of room, so be prepared to clear some space in order for it to rest comfortably. Its thick rubber feet are sure to keep it from slipping during gaming sessions.
One of the X6's main features is a unique, removable number pad. Depending on your preference, you can connect the keypad to either side of the keyboard via a magnetic contact.
The keyboard also has an adjustable backlight display that illuminates every single key. Standard keys glow red, while the keypad and programmable buttons have an amber hue to them. The intensity is adjustable via a large knob at the top of the keyboard.
The X6 has a number of hot-key features that enhance the overall gaming experience. Once you install the bundled software, you can customise the 30 'S' keys found on the detachable keypad, as well as a row of keys down the left-hand side of the keyboard. You can also store these keys in one of three save states, which gives you a way to switch between a work mode and play mode, for example. A convenient button on the top row allows you to switch through these profiles at any time. Through the included software, you can also assign specific configurations to particular games. These custom layouts will automatically load with the game they're bound to.
Not only can the keyboard learn three modes, it can record macros on the fly. During gameplay, you can press a button that will log any sequence of keystrokes you wish. We had great success with this feature when buying weapons at the start of a Counter-Strike match.
In addition, there's an interesting 'cruise-control' button that lets you teach the keyboard a specific keystroke -- up to four buttons pressed simultaneously -- that it will then repeat for you whenever you like. It's certainly a useful feature for accomplishing mundane tasks in a role-playing or real-time strategy game.
If you're playing games in Windows Vista, a dedicated 'game explorer' button will allow you to instantly navigate and choose which game to launch. Unfortunately, this feature won't work with Windows XP.
The X6 has other vanity controls as well. Adjacent to the backlight-dimmer knob, there's a volume-control knob. The keyboard also has media-control buttons, as well as a dedicated calculator key.
In terms of comfort, the X6 didn't wow us with any sort of advanced ergonomics. In fact, we found it quite irritating to use for everyday typing purposes. The built-in hard plastic wrist pad provides no cushioning, nor is it removable, which prevents you from using a wrist rest that you're more comfortable with.
Also, there are no drop-down feet to raise the height of the keyboard. This a strange oversight, as almost every keyboard we've ever seen has the ability to change its height. We did, however, like the feel of the keys and their relatively silent operation. The X6 has a certain smoothness to it that we really enjoyed.
While we didn't enjoy using the Microsoft SideWinder X6 for everyday typing, we had a much better experience when using it to play games. Even though its angle isn't adjustable, the default positioning of the board is great for resting your fingers at the default 'WASD' key positions. Our trial runs with Left 4 Dead and Far Cry 2 proved that we could easily spend hours playing comfortably using the X6.

'Limousine liberal" is an old American term used against those who inherited lots of money and then became "traitors to their class" by embracing populist politics.
The Roosevelts and Kennedys enjoyed the high life quite apart from the multitude that they championed. And they were exempt, by virtue of their inherited riches and armies of accountants and attorneys, from the higher taxes they advocated for others. Few worried about how their original fortunes were made long ago, or that as lifelong government officials they had their needs met by the state. Most were relieved instead that as very rich people they wanted less rich people to pay their fair share to help the poor.
But the new liberal aristocracy is far less discreet than the old. Most are self-made multimillionaires who acquired their money through government service, finance, law, investment, or marriage. If the old-money liberals lived it up tastefully within their walled family compounds, the new liberal aristocrats are unashamed about living openly in a manner quite at odds with their professed populist ideology.
Class warrior Barack Obama spent his winter break in a ritzy rental on a Hawaiian beach. It cost the taxpayers $7 (or is it $20?) million to jet him and his entourage 6,000 miles for their tropical vacation. But whether the first family escapes to Hawaii or Martha's Vineyard or Costa del Sol, the image of a 1 percent lifestyle seems a bit at odds with the president's professed disdain for "millionaires and billionaires," "fat cats," and "corporate-jet owners" who supposedly can afford such tony retreats only because they have done something suspect. The media used to ridicule grandees like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush for wearing cowboy hats and wasting precious presidential time chopping wood or chain-sawing dry underbrush on their respective overgrown ranches. But for liberal class warriors, golfing and body surfing in the tropical Pacific while staying at a zillionaire's estate become needed downtime to prepare for the looming battle against 1 percenters. One wonders about the conversation between the Obamas and their landlord. "We will stay here, but only on the condition that you remember that you didn't build it"?
Multibillionaire Warren Buffett is a tireless advocate of hiking inheritance taxes on small businesses and farms. But he has pledged much of his wealth to the Gates Foundation, a ploy that will cost the federal Treasury billions of dollars in lost revenue. Meanwhile, if inheritance taxes go up, millions of terrified Americans will double up on their life-insurance policies — an industry central to the multibillion-dollar Buffett empire. It never seems to occur to the liberal-minded Buffett that there is something tawdry about advocating a policy that he not only seeks mostly to avoid, but will even profit from.
So tax avoidance is another characteristic of the new aristocracy — ask Jeffrey Immelt, the General Electric CEO and Obama point man on jobs and growth, who endorses the Obama agenda even as he managed to skip taxes altogether on his company's 2010 profits. What should Immelt say? "Taxes are for the little people whom we try to help"?

Ronda Rousey may have strayed from her signature arm bar with a swift liver kick, but she's no Bas Rutten (thank goodness).
In case you forgot about the guy or this if your first time hearing about him, he was a UFC Heavyweight Champion and was known for his brutal liver shots.
Here are a few clips of his work:
Notice that there is no cage here to hold back the fighters that Rutten could have swiftly tossed into the audience. Next time you pick up a towel with your foot to throw it into the laundry basket, you can probably image what Rutten felt like when performing those seemingly effortless liver kicks.
About 2 minutes in, you see both fighters fall right through the ropes.
We call a lot of UFC fighters beasts these days, but back in Bas's day, that actually meant something. Just look at these gloveless fights and see how a few of his slaps send the other guy straight to the mat.

FTSE firm as Barclays readies axe over 'casino'
by Gavin Lumsden on Feb 11, 2013 at 10:42
(Update) Just one day to go before Barclays (BARC.L) unveils its strategic review and investors remain hopeful that chief executive Anthony Jenkins will effect real change at the bank while improving profitability.
Barclays edged over 3p or 1.1% higher after weekend reports that Jenkins plans to cut 2,000, or one in 10, jobs at its 'casino' investment banking division and close a controversial tax avoidance unit. The moves should save £2 billion.
Shares in the bank have advanced 15% so far this year and are up nearly 29% over one year.
With Hong Kong, China and Japan closed for the Lunar Holiday, a lack of overnight momentum saw the FTSE 100 start quietly but soon resumed its upward drive, rising 28 points or 0.4% to 6,291.
European markets were flat with the FTSE Eurofirst 300 virtually unchanged at 1,161.
Miners led the way in London after fresh evidence on Friday of China's recovering economy buoyed the commodity stocks. Evraz (EVRE.L) jumped 11.4p or 3.9% higher to 300p and Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC.L) gained 11.3p or 3% to 388.8p.
Tesco (TSCO.L) gained 6.4p or 1.7% to 369p after Exane BNP Paribas upgraded the supermarket group to 'neutral' from 'underperform'.
Chip designer Arm Holdings (ARM.L) slipped 2.3% or 21p to 897p to be the biggest faller on the FTSE 100, with portable power plant provider Aggreko (AGGK.L) off 1.5% or 24p at £15.64.
The pound edged back on currency markets trading 0.5% down at $1.5719 against the dollar while the euro gained 0.8% to nearly 85.2p to the single currency. The yen strengthened 0.6% to 93.2 to the dollar.
Gold weakened 0.3% to $1,662 an ounce.

What Happened to the Homecoming Court in PAUSD?

Still have it at Gunn, don't know about Paly.
on Sep 2, 2013 at 2:56 pm
The kids are too sophisticated. Also, some foreign parents have repeatedly objected to it.
on Sep 2, 2013 at 3:28 pm
I think since Homecoming Courts are based on looks and popularity, they were deemed to competitive (kind of like our non-existent GATE program).
on Sep 9, 2013 at 9:35 pm
Looking back over the years I've been a parent at Gunn and even when I attended Gunn it seems that being on the Homecoming Court has/had more to do with campus involvement (clubs, athletics, student government, philanthropic endeavors, etc.) then looks or popularity. Maybe when palo alto parent left that comment he/she meant that the kids that are voted onto court tend to be the "popular" kids because they are so involved and well known throughout the school and different groups so they get the votes? Or maybe it's very different at Paly. Either way, it's too bad it's looked at like that.
on Sep 10, 2013 at 1:23 am
The ones who won were usually justified because they were nice to everyone, vs. just being attractive. And they weren't necessarily involved in school activities. It was a fun tradition and a shame it's gone when other schools still have it. "Too competitive?" Competition is the name of the game in Palo Alto.

SCA8 Repeat Expansion Coexists with SCA1—Not Only with SCA6 The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 73, Issue 4, 1 October 2003, Pages 972-974 Anna Sulek, Dorota Hoffman-Zacharska, Elzbieta Zdzienicka and Jacek Zaremba Full Text | PDF (54 kb) |
High Germinal Instability of the (CTG)n at the SCA8 Locus of Both Expanded and Normal Alleles The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 66, Issue 3, 1 March 2000, Pages 830-840 I. Silveira, I. Alonso, L. Guimarães, P. Mendonça, C. Santos, P. Maciel, J.M. Fidalgo de Matos, M. Costa, C. Barbot, A. Tuna, J. Barros, L. Jardim, P. Coutinho and J. Sequeiros Abstract The autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of late-onset, neurodegenerative disorders for which 10 loci have been mapped (SCA1, SCA2, SCA4–SCA8, SCA10, MJD, and DRPLA). The mutant proteins have shown an expanded polyglutamine tract in SCA1, SCA2, MJD/SCA3, SCA6, SCA7, and DRPLA; a glycine-to-arginine substitution was found in SCA6 as well. Recently, an untranslated (CTG)n expansion on chromosome 13q was described as being the cause of SCA8. We have now (1) assessed the repeat size in a group of patients with ataxia and a large number of controls, (2) examined the intergenerational transmission of the repeat, and (3) estimated the instability of repeat size in the sperm of one patient and two healthy controls. Normal SCA8 chromosomes showed an apparently trimodal distribution, with classes of small (15–21 CTGs), intermediate (22–37 CTGs), and large (40–91 CTGs) alleles; large alleles accounted for only0.7% of all normal-size alleles. No expanded alleles (⩾100 CTGs) were found in controls. Expansion of the CTG tract was found in five families with ataxia; expanded alleles (all paternally transmitted) were characterized mostly by repeat-size contraction. There was a high germinal instability of both expanded and normal alleles: in one patient, the expanded allele (152 CTGs) had mostly contraction in size (often into the normal range); in the sperm of two normal controls, contractions were also more frequent, but occasional expansions into the upper limit of the normal size range were also seen. In conclusion, our results show (1) no overlapping between control (15–91) and pathogenic (100–152) alleles and (2) a high instability in spermatogenesis (both for expanded and normal alleles), suggesting a high mutational rate at the SCA8 locus.

Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 8: Molecular Genetic Comparisonsand Haplotype Analysis of 37 Families with Ataxia The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 75, Issue 1, 1 July 2004, Pages 3-16 Yoshio Ikeda, Joline C. Dalton, Melinda L. Moseley, Kathy L. Gardner, Thomas D. Bird, Tetsuo Ashizawa, William K. Seltzer, Massimo Pandolfo, Aubrey Milunsky, Nicholas T. Potter, Mikio Shoji, John B. Vincent, John W. Day and Laura P.W. Ranum Abstract We reported elsewhere that an untranslated CTG expansion causes the dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder spinocerebellar ataxia type 8 (SCA8). SCA8 shows a complex inheritance pattern with extremes of incomplete penetrance, in which often only one or two affected individuals are found in a given family. SCA8 expansions have also been found in control chromosomes, indicating that separate genetic or environmental factors increase disease penetrance among SCA8-expansion–carrying patients with ataxia. We describe the molecular genetic features and disease penetrance of 37 different families with SCA8 ataxia from the United States, Canada, Japan, and Mexico. Haplotype analysis using 17 STR markers spanning an ∼1-Mb region was performed on the families with ataxia, on a group of expansion carriers in the general population, and on psychiatric patients, to clarify the genetic basis of the reduced penetrance and to investigate whether CTG expansions among different populations share a common ancestral background. Two major ancestrally related haplotypes (A and A′) were found among white families with ataxia, normal controls, and patients with major psychosis, indicating a common ancestral origin of both pathogenic and nonpathogenic SCA8 expansions among whites. Two additional and distinct haplotypes were found among a group of Japanese families with ataxia (haplotype B) and a Mexican family with ataxia (haplotype C). Our finding that SCA8 expansions on three independently arising haplotypes are found among patients with ataxia and cosegregate with ataxia when multiple family members are affected further supports the direct role of the CTG expansion in disease pathogenesis.

We analyzed the SCA8 CTA/CTG repeat in a large group of Japanese subjects. The frequency of large alleles (85–399 CTA/CTG repeats) was 1.9% in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), 0.4% in Parkinson disease, 0.3% in Alzheimer disease, and 0% in a healthy control group; the frequency was significantly higher in the group with SCA than in the control group. Homozygotes for large alleles were observed only in the group with SCA. In five patients with SCA from two families, a large SCA8 CTA/CTG repeat and a large SCA6 CAG repeat coexisted. Age at onset was correlated with SCA8 repeats rather than SCA6 repeats in these five patients. In one of these families, at least one patient showed only a large SCA8 CTA/CTG repeat allele, with no large SCA6 CAG repeat allele. We speculate that the presence of a large SCA8 CTA/CTG repeat allele influences the function of channels such as α1A-voltage–dependent calcium channel through changing or aberrant splicing, resulting in the development of cerebellar ataxia, especially in homozygous patients.

About 5 mins later--she showed me her grimy dirt-filled gloves and said, "SEE grandma--now I'm a gardener too!!!" I had to chuckle!

Is there an OS6 theme for OS7?
I apologize in advance if this seems a ridiculous question, but is there a theme anywhere out there you might be aware of that can give the 9900 the appearance of OS 6? In particular, and I may be one of 1000 people that would say it but I actually liked the icon set OS 6 had, which i've heard some people refer to as "glass" or "wire frame." The stock theme on the 9650 vis a vis OS 6 has up till now always been my favorite.
maybe you will like this one...used to be my fav on os5 and os6 *grins*~ Still waters run deep ~ - 01-21-2013, 10:28 AM #3

Is there an OS6 theme for OS7?
Thank you for the reply folks! In fact, that theme named "imagining" is perfect. It is essentially a dead-on replica of OS 6, except of course keeping in mind that the 99** is running a higher resolution, so the icons look a tad smaller than they did on the previous generations of device, but it's so d*mn close i'm satisfied. Thanks again.

Have you been planning this or did you slap this together just for me lol. Very cool.
I planned this after I finished the 3D Round series, but it's difficult to make the 9810/9850 version ,so it got delayed until recently the TB7 leaked.
- 01-22-2013, 09:50 AM Thread Author #11
So it will be called "Classic 6"? I'm excited about that and looking forward to it.
I'm not really the sort that needs to be cutting edge, and I have no immediate plans to upgrade to BB10 when it comes out. I was rather satisfied with my old Bold 9650 but I was ready for some updated hardware, and all the apps I already want or need were as available on OS 7 as they were on 6, so to have the 9900 feeling like my 9650 but with the updated hardware would be awesome.
I didn't know you were the one who created the 3D and 2D Round series themes. I looked at those but noticed that there is some problem with making all the icons appear correctly on the Bold 9900? I didn't quite understand what was going on there, so I didn't download them. The Classic 6 theme won't suffer that same issue will it? - 01-22-2013, 10:16 AM #12
well, if you have a 9650, you should know there are two type of layout for OS6, custom and blackberry6 (like the default one)
OS7 does have those two types too,but unfortunately, the custom layout (3D round series) has this "invisible folder" issue, and can't be fixed.All the apps in folders are invisible, you have to move them out to see them or use hotkey, search to launch them directly.
but the blackberry7 layout are working perfectly, Classic 6 is a blackberry7 layout theme, so it won't have that problem.

By Sophia Saifi "It's a tapestry of storytelling elements," Haupt said. "You want to pull that tapestry apart and throw it together as fast or slow as you want without other things being in the way."
Performances are a series of open rehearsals where actors perform with their scripts and music in hand; conjuring up sets and color simply through song and dialogue and using chairs as props.
This year's conference has three plays that consist of Broadcast (the story of radio from 1901 to 1950), The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes (the quest of a man who hates musicals and wakes to find himself stuck in one), and Goddess (a mythical love story set in the jazz bar of a contemporary West African city).
Each of the plays are a testament to the diversity of work that has passed through the NMTC and it is a fact that Haupt is keen to stress.
26 Jun 2013
Across the campus actors are sprawled across porches and huddled over cafeteria tables, pouring over the changes to their scripts, under a tree someone warbles a song, and behind shut doors there is the constant melody of the composer-in-residence banging out tunes on a piano.
There is a sense of safety as art is nurtured and created while surrounded by a perpetual buzz of activity. Haupt remembers the first time she came to the O'Neill.
"I thought that it would be a really nice thing to do for a couple of years but I'm still here," she said. "I'm here because every year is a new year for me. There are always new people and there will always be new projects."
Single tickets to the Music Theatre Conference performances are now on sale to the general public. They can be purchased by calling (860) 443-1238 or visiting theoneill.org.
The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center was founded in 1964 and is based in Waterford, CT. Programs at the Center include the Puppetry Conference, Playwrights Conference, Critics Institute, Music Theater Conference and the National Theater Institute. The Monte Cristo Cottage, O'Neill's childhood home, is also owned and operated by the group.

Serves four.
Sweet strawberries, tart balsamic, and vanilla ice cream make one great dessert.
Bring the vinegar to a simmer in a 2-quart nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until glossy and reduced to 3 Tbs., about 10 minutes. Pour the reduced vinegar into a small bowl and let cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, sprinkle the strawberries with the sugar and pepper (if using) and toss gently until combined. Let stand, stirring once or twice, until the sugar dissolves and the berries release some juice, 10 to 15 minutes. Put a scoop of ice cream in each of 4 parfait glasses or bowls. Top each with about 1/4 cup strawberries and their juices, drizzle with about 1 tsp. balsamic syrup, and sprinkle with about 1/2 Tbs. pine nuts. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.

by cheshirecatmom, 5/23/2012This is precisely why we all scream for ice cream; what a surprise this dish was! I'll save plain ol' hot fudge sundaes for winter. While strawberries are in season, I'm making these.
by s7murphy, 3/14/2011Yum! LOVE this combination. It reminds me of my favorite "coupe" at Mario Batali's Otto pizzeria, except there they make it with olive oil gelato. You definitely have to watch the balsamic syrup to make sure it doesn't reduce too much, otherwise it can become sticky and hard like a reviewer noted.
by TheMomChef, 6/7/2010Understand the concept, but it wasn't very good in actuality. Read my full review at: http://themomchef.blogspot.com/2010/06/ice-cream-parfaits-with-strawberries.html
by Pielove, 6/2/2010Delicious! The balsamic syrup and black pepper make for such a complex, interesting flavor that plays off of the sweet, fruity berries and the ice cream. Carolcooks, did your balsamic vinegar have added sugar? It should not harden like that-- it sounds like the behavior of a sugar syrup, not a balsamic syrup.
by carolcook, 5/24/2010Terrible. Made it twice to be sure I was doing it correctly. On the second go, I reduced it less. Both times, turned hard after cooling. Put it in the microwave for a few seconds for serving. Instantly turned hard when hitting the ice cream.

1% Sales Tax Referendum on November Ballot in Boone County
Posted: 9:18 PM Oct 8, 2012
Reporter: Jessica Geraci
Boone County
BOONE COUNTY (WIFR) -- Voters in Boone County will be faced with another issue on this November's ballot, whether to increase the county sales tax to help the local school districts.
The Belvidere School Board is behind a referendum to increase the tax by one percent. Members say collecting more in sales tax will reduce the amount they would need to collect in property taxes. This will help pay off bond debt from newly constructed buildings. Its estimated District 100 will collect more than $2 million from the sales tax increase. North Boone Schools would also get a cut of the tax revenue.
The money from the referendum can only be used on capitol projects. Not things like textbooks or teacher salaries.

I am, too. I started off with EWSB vintage 2003, neat, which continues to impress me every time I pour some... I think I'll need to pick up a few more bottles. After a rinse to the glass, a small taste of the 4RSmBLE2012, this bottle has maybe two more tiny pours in it, and I'm not planning to open any of my remaining bottles for a while. Finally, I'm wrapping up the night with a decent pour of OGD BiB with a cube.

Mikey Hughes spent the summer of 2008 in the Big Brother house, watched 24 hours a day by millions of viewers.
Before going into the house Mikey described himself as wacky, zany and non-conformist. He certainly lived up to that description! After 12 weeks in the house, he also proved he's a survivor.
Michael Hughes (33) from Kilwinning, Ayrshire, a presenter and producer on RNIB's Insight Radio, was a housemate in 2008's Big Brother. He was the first blind person to join the UK show.
Find out more by reading Michael's story as producer and presenter of The Early Edition on Insight Radio.
A blind person appearing in such a high profile show presented many opportunities to challenge stereotypes and attitudes to blindness amongst the public. Blind people are often relegated to niche specialist programmes either on TV or on radio. Even when they feature as characters on dramas or comedies they're often played by sighted people. The effect of this 'invisibility' is that many people don't understand blindness. They have very little idea about the challenges that someone who is blind might face and they have little experience of seeing someone who is blind get on with their life and live independently.
So, the impact of having someone blind on Big Brother, with all the media interest that the programme generates, could be profound. However, it is important to note that no one person can be expected to represent all blind and partially sighted people. We hope that audiences and housemates judged Michael as an individual first and foremost and that his blindness did not define him.

Greetings! Well, I'm a white wolf therian and a very spiritual though not religious person. As a wolf therian, I am very monogamous, I believe in having just a single mate to love and cherish. I am a very thoughtful person, always thinking and enjoy reading and learning new things. I first come off as a bit shy and cautious around new people but I warm up very quickly. As being of a wolf spirit, I can be a bit hyper and crazy as well as lazy laid back at times. I am also very protective and nurturing to my friends and loved ones and will go out of my way for them. I hold many interests and I continually explore what life has to offer. While not religious, I am a very spiritual person and practice mediation and other techniques to get in touch with my psyche and to learn who I really am. I am who I am, I don't put up a facade to others. Now lets see here, I love the arts and reading, hence why I ended up joining this site. I am not here for the "yiff" as more that I enjoy looking at what others create. You can learn a lot about someone by their style of writing, how they word things and how they paint the scene to the reader. The same can be said about artwork as well, everyone has their own style and techniques. Lets see, with all that out of the way, like I said, I like the arts which I practice myself be it drawing to sculpting and photographing..well, just about any art form where I can work with my hands really. I love to read be it fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, fantasy and so on. I enjoy the outdoors and the rain. Nothing beats relaxing out in the sun on a warm, summer day or relaxing with a good book t the sound of rain. I like cooking, fabricating, crafting and just about anything else where I can express myself through my hands. If you want to chat or the like, feel free to send me a message. Well, that's it for now ;p
Just wanted to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas! I hope you all have a wonderful day with your loved ones.

I know this probably sounds strange. But does anyone know the secret to keeping ice cream in the cartons from going icy on top after opening them? I know there are bigger things in life to worry about, but it is just one of my pet peeves of opening it one night and then a couple of nights later it is covered with a layer of ice on top. As much as you scrap it off it still tastes different afterwards.
used saran wrap, too and it works. This is a huge problem with homemade ice cream.
I can't remember where I saw this but I do it and it seems to work.
After you use the ice cream cover the top with a piece of wax paper that fits snuggly over the tope of the remaining ice cream making sure that the edges come up slightly up the walls of the carton then make sure you store it in the coldest part of your freezer.
do you have an relatively empty freezer? freezers need to be full in order to be cold enough. fridge's on the other hand will be too warm if they are over full. maybe this could be your problem? our freezers packed and we don't have that problem with the ice cream.
I know from both rest. and grocery store work ice cream is the hardest to keep frozen. You should only keep it in a deep freeze not the freezer in your fridge. The fridge freezer doesn't usually get cold enough to keep it really frozen. The ice is forming from the water thawing in the ice cream and then it can start to spoil.
when it comes to ice cream. maybe your temp in your freezer is wacky. it sounds like somehow the icecream is thawing and freezing again. sacrilige!

- True colors, heavy, nice tableclothReview by Kerri
- The best thing about this company is value for price. The color is true to what is shown online. The fabric is heavyduty, nice looking, drapes well, non-iron, high quality. The hem is well done, small, smooth, finished-not a rolled hem, it lays flat. The fabric does not snag easily, washes well, doesn't fade. Looks classy for weddings but very durable as well. I have used the tablecloths purchased here for photo back drops, table cloths, drapes, wall coverings, wedding decoration valances, decorative display tablecloths, beautiful base color for under lace tablecloths. Truly versatile. Worth many times the price. Love the Burgundy color-very rich. (Posted on 5/20/10)

Intermittently, this happens to me
Mostly, Mail works fine for me and sent items appear in the Sent Items mailbox. Just occasionally I realise that something I have just sent did not appear there. It just happened to two emails, both of which were indeed sent as I received replies.
I can workaround the problem by setting up an automatic blind copy, but this fills up my in-box horribly. Has anyone got a real solution? An explanation would be good, too! |

Ohio voters prepare to tackle five statewide issues when they go the polls next week. Should the constitution allow construction of a single resort casino in southern Ohio? Should limits be placed on the interest payday lenders can charge? Thursday on the Sound of Ideas, we'll try to clear up any remaining confusion about state issues one through six. And our panel of journalists will take on the week's other top stories...another severe blow for the Flats East Bank project and the Port Authority's role in scuttling Eaton's move to the Flats; and a Cleveland construction company executive to serve time for bribery in Lorain County.

Ralph nader is right. America's founding fathers never envisioned a two-party system. The constitution completely ignores the subject. The "Mr. Smiths" were to be citizen-legislators who went to Washington to represent their constituents for a specific reason (it's obviously more complicated than that now but the intent remains) then come home and give it to the next person. I don't know a single person who embraces all the planks of either party. If we had six or eight candidates on the ballot and a run-off election for the two highest vote recipients, every American would have a real choice. The current permanence of the two parties creates a "hold-your-nose-and-vote-for-the-lesser-of-two-evils' among the average American.
Consider Pat Buchanan: Pro-life, Period! Pro-union, period! But both of those constituencies were afraid to "waste" their vote. Perfect candidate for the preceeding two groups, no votes for the candidate from either constituency.
If you question my ability to make this point consider this: I'm an active evangelical, a union official, a fiscal conservative and a social gadfly. I've been run out of several churches, not for moral failures but rather for my position that a vote for a republican is a wasted vote because they NEVER do anything about abortion. It's their cyclical get-reelected issue and they'll never let it be solved.
This is a classic "spilt the spoils" two-party dictatorship. Far from a democratic republic.
Jeff, Grafton
The voters have spoken numberous times about this guy. While I support his right to exercise his constitutional rights, his position that the two parties are esentially the same is absurd. He is simply cluttering the process and as we have seen in past elections, interferring with the will of voters who can actually tell the difference between the two parties and make a clear choice.
There is no way as he asserts that he would be competative in this race. If people were interested in his campaign, he'd be competative right now!
This guy is just annoying.

Conemaugh Township's Dillon Boyer poses with the game ball after scoring the 1,000th point of his career Wednesday. (Submitted photo / December 20, 2012) |
DAVIDSVILLE — Conemaugh Township senior guard Dillon Boyer recorded the 1,000th point of his career Wednesday in a 65-17 win over WestPAC North rival North Star.
Boyer needed nine points entering the contest and he finished with 11 points. The milestone bucket came at the 5:32 mark of the second quarter on a layup.
"I knew about it, but was taking it like any other game," Boyer said. "My teammates were talking about it. It was a special moment and a relief that it came early in the season instead of while we were making a playoff run."
He became the 11th boys player and 24th player in Conemaugh Township history to reach the 1,000-point plateau.
"What can you say about a player like Dillon," head coach Chuck Lesko said. "He is the epitome of a student-athlete. I can't think of a better person and a better athlete. He is in the top one percent of athletes in my opinion. It was really nice he could share his moment with the home crowd."
Boyer's teammate Jeff Fisher led all scorers with 18 points while pulling down 10 rebounds. Josh Burns added nine points and Jeremy Sotosky had eight points in the victory.
Conemaugh Township was able to clear the bench and get everyone playing time, coach Lesko said.
"We are playing pretty well," Boyer said. "They key is to work together as a team. If we keep doing that it will help us down the stretch with making a playoff run."
North Star's Dave Saylor grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds.
The Indians also won the junior varsity game.

Fans looking forward to seeing more of Derek Jeter in the Yankees lineup this season will have to wait a while.
The Yankees' captain will miss at least this weekend's series with the Twins.
The Bombers' all-star shortstop felt tightness in his right quadriceps muscle while running to first base in the fifth inning during Thursday's game against the Royals.
He stayed in the game for one more at-bat before being taken out of the game and taken for an MRI, which revealed a grade 1 strain.
It was his first game since breaking his ankle during a playoff game in October.
"I was certainly caught off guard when I got the phone call from Steve Donahue that we're going to pull him from the game," said Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman. "And Derek usually doesn't say anything, so when he said something, you knew it was. He said cramp. A cramp for Derek is something more than a cramp."
Cashman said the Yankees hope to have Jeter back after the All-Star break when they play in Boston next Friday, but he wouldn't rule out a possible return to the disabled list.
The Yankees captain released a statement expressing his hope to be back in playing condition soon.
"It's frustrating. I don't know what else you want me to say. I worked hard to get to the point of rejoining the team yesterday. It's not how you draw it up, but hopefully I'll be back out there soon and help this team win some games," Jeter said in the statement.

Upper Deck sticking by Woods
MILWAUKEE – Sports card and memorabilia maker Upper Deck Co. said Tuesday it will continue its relationship with Tiger Woods.
The company, and its Upper Deck Authenticated collectibles division, said the two "look forward to his eventual return to the PGA Tour."
Upper Deck CEO Richard McWilliam said in a statement the athlete and his family have the company's full support.
Reader poll
When will Tiger Woods return to the PGA Tour?
- San Diego Open (Jan. 28-31)
- Arnold Palmer Invitational (March 25-28)
- Masters (April 8-11)
- U.S. Open (June 17-20)
- After the U.S. Open
- He will not return in 2010
2218 total votes.
Woods announced late last week he was taking an indefinite leave from public life and golf while he works to fix his marriage after multiple allegations of infidelity.
Since then, Woods' sponsors have been weighing their options as the media firestorm surrounding Woods continues. Companies use celebrity endorsements to sell products and boost their image. But the propositions can be risky and expensive if a celebrity falls from grace.
According to new figures released Tuesday from TNS Media Intelligence, Woods' top six sponsors have spent about $79.3 million on ads featuring Woods or his name through October this year.
Woods has been Upper Deck's exclusive golf spokesman and autograph signer since 2001. The company declined to comment on the length or value of the contract.
The company, which is based in Carlsbad, Calif., sells everything from thousand-dollar autographed pictures of Woods to original artwork and autographed shoes.
It has not had a golf trading card set since 2005, but spokesman Terry Melia said sometimes Upper Deck includes single cards of Woods, along with other celebrities and stars, in baseball card launches.
Major sponsor Accenture dropped Woods on Sunday, saying he no longer fits with the company's image. The consulting firm had banked heavily on the golfer to push its attributes of perfection and integrity.
According to TNS, Accenture included Woods' name or image in 83 percent of its advertising spending from January through October, for a total of $31 million. That marked the biggest percentage of a company's ad budget, out of Woods' main sponsors.
Other sponsors including Swiss watch maker Tag Heuer and AT&T have said they're examining their relationship with Woods. According to TNS, Tag Heuer spent 23 percent of its advertising money on ads with Woods, for a total of $953,000. Figures for AT&T weren't available.
Gillette, a unit of Procter & Gamble, announced Saturday it would not air ads featuring Woods. The grooming products brand did not say when and under what conditions it would resume airing them. According to TNS, 9 percent of the brand's advertising through October this year included Woods, for a total value of $14.3 million.
Besides Upper Deck, other companies that have said they stand by Woods include Nike Inc. and Electronic Arts, which both spent under $4 million on ads with Woods, or less than 5 percent of their ad spending.
