Please remember that Propel Montour does not have school delays. Propel Montour will only close school if Pittsburgh Public Schools close for a day based on weather concerns. All three local networks, WPXI, KDKA, and WTAE, will be updated if a school closing does take place. Also, an Alert Now phone call will be made and an email will be sent. Please contact the school if you have questions regarding our winter weather procedures.
***Updated Jan. 26, 2014 - As the question continues to arise, we wanted to address why at Propel Montour we do not delay school. Since Propel does not provide transportation, we open at the normal starting time because for students that can get to the school we know they will be car riders and not outside exposed to the weather. This gives parents that are capable a chance to have a normal day of their own, giving their child a full school day. At the same time we obviously respect and support the delays of all our sending school districts, and will never mark a student late when they come via a bus from a district that has delayed.
It is extremely unlikely that we would not know about a Pittsburgh Public Schools closure prior to the Propel Montour start time of 8 AM. As PPS even says on their website, they try to make their decision by 5 AM. This information can be found on their website at http://www.pps.k12.pa.us/Page/1412. If they start with a two-hour delay, and then choose to close, this will therefore likely happen by 7 AM and an Alert Now from us would immediately be sent. We hope this further clarifies our policy.

I love my super xtd. It's probably the hottest face in my bag. I have the fast 12 LS driver and rocketballz 3 and 5 woods and rocketballz irons but the xtd is by far the best club in my bag.

Adams Super Hybrid XTD Review
GolfWRX editor review-
The Titanium face and crown brazed to the stainless steel sole make this hybrid the hottest hybrid we have tested. Long is an understatement. Low spinning cannon!
Has a slot on the crown to maximize the launch conditions. Some traditionalists will not like the feature visually.
Bottom line:
Longest hybrid I have ever hit to date. This is in the bag and early predictions I say we have a hybrid of the year here. Long, lower spin, great sound and this tester loves the silver paint and sign me up for the slot on the top that some might not like! Wow!!!
The first time we pulled this baby out of the box we were a little apprehensive. There is clearly a slot carved out of the top of the head. Very unique look and not what you want to see looking down at a club. However that is about all we will say against this super car. We have our self a super car, super model or super golf club here. This is a unique launch and this GolfWRX editor is drinking all the cool aid and asking for more. I have had it in the bag now for 2 months. We received it early for a review and needed some stick time to make sure it was as good as we noticed in week one. Well it is.
We tested a 17* Adams Speedline Super XTD Hybrid on and off the course. We compared it on flightscope and trackman to verify what we saw on the course. For 17* model the launch was higher than we expected and higher than the normal 17* hybrid. Based on the high launch we expected the carry to be shorter but that was far from the truth. This head produces so much ball speed and lower spin we were hitting the ball close to the distances of our gamer Ping i20 3 wood that are made of steel. While the 17* hybrid was shorter than the Ping i20 15* 3 wood and the Tour Edge 3 wood that is Titanium, is was getting very close to them in distance. Yes we said close. We were only 5 yards less on carry and 14 yards back on total distance from the mighty 3 woods. The Adams XTD Super Hybrid is 2* higher in loft and many inches shorter yet almost went as far as the lower lofted 3 woods. Good knows what the XTD 3 wood will test like in a few weeks. The spin numbers on trackman for me were only 400 rpm's greater with the 17* XTD than the 15* 3 woods.
When I was hitting balls I could see the ball speed coming off the face hot. You can see it. In play I knew it was going to be long and allowed me to slow the swing down. I was more balanced as a result and hit some great shots. My playing partners were also amazed I was hitting the hybrid as long as they were hitting their 3 woods.
Adams claims they have the highest CT in a hybrid of 240 and has the lowest center of gravity that increases ball speed and lowers spin. There is a "velocity slot" on the top of the crown and the bottom of the sole. These slots increases the spring effect across the entire face for added ball speed and more forgiveness. GolfWRX says WOW. No we are saying WOWOWOWOW. Not that was mature right? Not it wasn't but there are some products that just make us want to yell out to all of our readers to come on in and try this out!!! This is one of those heads.
The silver paint job looks great. I really liked the flat paint and the new look. Headcover was also designed with care. Has a very functional velcro flap that wraps around the shaft making it easier to take the cover on and off.
What can you not like about this hybrid. Well here is something… $300.00 beans for this hybrid from the local superstore. This is a lot of cash for a hybrid but to get the Ti (Titanium) technology that always will cost you more.
As the spring and summer of 2012 rolls out we are excited to hear and see some comparison data from any and all against this mighty Hybrid. Early call is the hybrid of the year.

Absolutely love my 19, 22 and 25 nothing but good stuff to say however i am very disappointed in the quality of the head covers. My previous Adams hybrids – Pro Idea came with fantastic head covers with a magnetic closure which prevented them from falling off and really made you feel like you had a quality product. These head covers are garbage and i am shopping now to replace them.
Whoever handled that aspect of this product line needs to step it up quickly.
Bought the 17 and 21 in stiff flex. 21 goes 215 on a good hit the 17 only goes about 225..go figure.
The 21 is a hell of a club.
Bought the 17 today. Was 212-220 on the range with range balls. Face is somewhat closed; went home and marked a line on the top to aid me in alignment. I'm 63 years old, my Cleaveland 270 driver (10.5) is just over 240 for comparison.

I am interested in having the Adams hybrid XTD . Could you tell me an address where I can order it because this product is hard to find in France.
I just ordered my 14.5′ Super XTD 3 wood the other day without ever hitting it. I've hit the 17′ Super XTD hybrid on the launch monitor and was SHOCKED at how long it was! I was consistently hitting it 250 and easy too. Great club, can't wait to get my hands on the 3 wood.
Playing the 21* XTD hybrid with an S-Flex Diamana Thump shaft. Loving it from the tee or the fairway. Long and workable as well.
Craig can you let me know when you get the Adams xtd 14.5 3 woods in stiff shafts and how much they will be I play in south Wales ( machynys g c).
I have the rep coming next week as we are looking to stock the Adams stuff (particularly fairways and hybrids). I am based at Sedbergh Golf Club in Cumbria. Let me have your details and I'll keep you posted.
Sedbergh Golf Club
I took it out on Demo from Martins PGA in the stiff shaft. I was on holidays from Ireland and OMG, I used it in the stiff shaft and it is the most amazing club i've ever used. I hit it 270 Yards… Never ever hit anything like it in my life. Only problem I can't get it over here in Ireland. If you live in the states buy it. You don't know how lucky you are.
where in the UK can they be bought? located in Scotland
I have the 17 degree version. It is very long… almost as long as my strong R11 4 wood. Easy to swing and better than my RBZ out of the rough. I highly recommend this one.
I bought the Adams XTD Super Hybrid 17′ after hitting it straight down the middle of the driving range 3 times in a row. I traded in my Adams 15′ 3 Wood & my TaylorMade Recuse club!
Out on the course, I hit a 209 yd fairway shot slightly downhill to middle of green on a par 4.
The Adams Super Hybrid replaced "two clubs" which brought me back to 14 clubs again !
If you have never hit this hybrid, and are thinking about getting a hybrid, GO HIT IT. Best hybrid on the market.
Have the 21, Best Hybrid around. Never could find anything to replace my trusty old Titliest 585h til now! The difference is easy to notice high long accurate all true
Guys, just try it, its like someone has turned a light on. There has not been a hybrid or fairway wood like this. To compare like for like, the difference in trajectory and distance is just so noticable its untrue, you don't need a launch moniitor to tell you
Just go hit it.
I'll even send you a straw for the kool-aid you'll be drinking.
It's stupid good!
Nice infomercial Rick. Doubt it is that good!
Could be the best club I have ever hit! Hot as my driver, sounds and feels great and is deadly accurate and very long. Buddy of mine hit the 19 degree 248 yds over water in Palm Springs to 3 ft for eagle! The ability to execute all types of shots with this club allowed all of us in the group to go after pins and distances we have never thought possible… Worth every penny!
Nice review……nice hybrid….way too much cash required…..think I'll pass on this one…..until it hits the discount stores.
Pretty cool! I love hybrids and would love to take this one for a test drive. Er, not out of the tee box persay, but I think the top slot won't matter as long as it gets near the pin!

good God I would *love* to get my hands on those button pads
I'm usually silent about what I usually say online but this is amazing. Take it from me. I never ever really comment on things. This is actually my first comment I've made about a cosplay picture because it really blew my eyes out. I mean I'm at a lost of words right now. I really think it's your shades and hair that helps alot.

Battle Angel Gally?? J/K, she looks great. (GUNNM's main character has a similar appearance; She's called Gally in the Japanese Manga, instead of being named Alita in the USA translated/altered version)

Bob Marley may be the face of reggae, but it was Jimmy Cliff who first helped bring that sound to the world as the star of the 1972 crime drama The Harder They Come. (To this day, its soundtrack regularly ranks as an all-time great with music critics and dorm-room aficionados alike.) Though he's released some 30 albums since, Cliff, 64, has been absent since 2004's Black Magic. Now he's returned with a new album, Rebirth (out now), and a new muse: producer Tim Armstrong of Berkeley, Calif., punk heroes Rancid.
The pair were introduced by an even more legendary punk, the late Clash frontman Joe Strummer, who counted both as collaborators and friends before his death in 2002. ''The last studio recording Joe did was on Black Magic,'' Cliff recalls. ''When we met, everything flowed so easily it reminded me of those old, authentic times.''
Intent on recapturing that kind of vibe, Cliff decided to make Rebirth a continuation of his landmark 1970 album Wonderful World, Beautiful People. With Armstrong there to keep the arrangements uncluttered, Cliff builds towers of groove around his wise-man narratives, mixing songs about economic instability (''World Upside Down'') and gun violence (''Bang'') with a handful of melodic larks. There's also a cover of the Clash's reggae-inflected 1979 classic ''Guns of Brixton,'' whose original lyrics referenced Cliff's character in The Harder They Come, bringing the entire history of modern reggae from Marley through punk, across a revival and back again full circle. But don't call it an ending: ''The concept of the way people live and say, 'You're 64, you're 71, you should be doing this or that,''' says Cliff, ''I don't live by that. That's what keeps the fire in me.''

Classic Names With Modern Nicknames
I love long, classic names, but don't particularly want my child saddled with "Genevieve" or "Beatrice" for everyday conversation. The perfect compromise seems to be a classic name with a cooler nickname, maybe something a little less common. For example for Beatrice, you could call her "Tris" (or the more classic Bea).
This is the girls forum, I know, but if any similar boys names come to mind that would be fantastic
(ex. Bennett-Ben)

President Barack Obama greets the crowd after a ceremony to honor the NCAA College football BCS National Champion University of Alabama Crimson Tide, Thursday, April 19, 2012, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- He's been in campaign mode for months, but President Barack Obama makes his quest for a second term official with rallies Saturday in Ohio and Virginia. He'll be casting Republican rival Mitt Romney as a flip-flopping protector of the rich.
The events at two universities, Ohio State and Virginia Commonwealth, are billed as the official kickoff of Obama's re-election bid, even though he's been solidly engaged in his campaign. He filed the necessary paperwork to seek re-election over a year ago.
During the stops, Obama wants to convince voters that his policies have put the economy on more solid footing despite fresh evidence the job market remains weak. He's also expected to try to define Romney as a candidate peddling failed policies for the economy and national security.

Speed demon star found to skirt Milky Way's black hole
Astronomers have found something more interesting at the center of our Milky Way galaxy than just a black hole: a star orbiting that black hole at the record-breaking speed of 3,100 miles per second. It takes less than twelve years to make one full orbit, but its speed isn't its only scientifically interesting aspect.
The star's environment and proximity to the black hole will provide physicists with a unique opportunity to test Einstein's theory of relativity (which states that objects with mass distort the fabric of spacetime).
Using orbiting bodies to confirm Einstein's general relativity isn't a new kind of observation to make. In the 19th century, astronomers noticed Mercury's orbit didn't do what Newton's laws of gravity said it should. But when Einstein's theory of relativity came on the scene, the little planet's irregular motion was explained: the Sun's mass was curving spacetime, and because Mercury orbits so close to the Sun it was affected by this curve. The same phenomenon has been observed around neutron stars, but the effects in both cases aren't very pronounced — neutron stars only weigh about three times as much as our Sun.
The newly discovered star, called S0-102, is one in a class of similar "S-stars" that surrounds the Milky Way's central black hole, and it's the fastest one scientists have found:
Pictured above, from the Keck Observatory: "The orbits of stars within the central arcsecond of our galaxy. In the background, the central portion of a diffraction-limited image taken in 2012 is displayed." (Image Credit: Andrea Ghez and research team at UCLA/data sets obtained with W. M. Keck Telescopes)
The second fastest, and the record holder until recently, is a star called S0-2 that circles the black hole once every 16 years. The presence of two short-period stars is significant, since having a pair will give scientists a chance to look at two objects' change in orientation over time. This will ultimately yield more precise measurements on how much space has been curved by our galaxy's black hole.
Measuring the warping effects of the Milky Way's black hole on spacetime will be much easier than observations done on the Sun or neutron stars, because the black hole is about 4 million times as heavy as our Sun. That means the warping effects will be much greater, and the results that much more interesting. And because both S0-102 and S0-2 look to be quite close to the black hole, the effects should be clearly visible, increasing the likelihood of an accurate measurement. Having two stars will also help astronomers calculate out the effects of other objects in the vicinity. Comparing observed motions should make it clear what is an effect of the black hole and what is an effect of a nearby dead star.
Another way scientists will test relativity will be to measure the stars' redshift. The light traveling from a star through curved space should be shifted towards the longer end of the electromagnetic spectrum compared to light passing through "normal space."
Because the stars travel around the black hole so quickly, it won't take too long for scientists to observe a full orbit. And both stars will make their closest approach in the next 10 years — S0-102 in 2020 and S0-2 in 2018 or 2019. So by the end of the decade we should have some interesting new evidence about general relativity. Right now, scientists don't expect their observations will challenge Einstein's theory of relativity, but there's always a chance that some result will come as a big surprise.

Accused Fort Carson soldier arrested on Alabama warrant charging child enticement
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A Fort Carson officer accused of trying to lure girls in Colorado to have sex with him has been arrested on a similar warrant out of Alabama.
Lt. Aaron Lucas, 31 was arrested Wednesday in Colorado on a warrant by Madison, Ala., police. El Paso County sheriff's officials say the warrant alleges enticement of a child and sexual child abuse of a child younger than 12 in 2002.
Lucas had been free on an $80,000 bond after being arrested in October on suspicion of charges including sexual assault, attempted sexual assault and indecent exposure in communities surrounding Fort Carson in Colorado.
The field artilleryman of Huntsville, Ala., was assigned to Fort Carson in 2009 and received the Bronze Star for valor during a deployment to Afghanistan.

The ten commandments of New York apartment hunting
Don't even try to find your perfect apartment without following these lifesaving rules
Thu Jun 12 2014
CommentsAdd +
And it came to pass that there were very few domiciles in the city of New York, and those that existed were scarce and required great riches to acquire. Many struggled to find a place in which to lay their heads, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. But one day there came among them a prophet, who gave unto them a stone tablet on which was engraved ten important teachings. On that day the people gave thanks indeed, and there was much rejoicing in the land, and much celebrating and dancing was made. And on that day the people did use these ten commandments wisely, and never again was any forced to wake up in a cold sweat at 4am, wondering how it was that they were living with four other people in a one-bedroom in Crown Heights above a fat man who plays the tuba. Hallelujah!

Thou shalt negotiate
The price you see ain't always the price you'll get—in a good way—according to real-estate agent Sarah Beth Hill (perfectstrangersofnyc.com). "If you are applying for a one-bedroom apartment for $2,200 and would like to pay $2,100, offer $2,000," she says. "The landlord is more likely to meet you in the middle."

Thou shalt visit thy potential pad during the day and the night
"Go there at night, find the nearest Laundromat and stay there for 15 minutes. You'll immediately figure out who your neighbors are," Hill suggests. (Tip from us: Don't just hang there postmove. It's weird.) "Most tenants will be at work in the daytime, [and you want] a true representation of what living there will be like."

Thou shalt not get scammed
"Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true," warns Hill. "And if someone is asking for money to secure an apartment, which is called a good-faith deposit—and quite common when renting—make sure you know who you're giving that money to. Real-estate agents are supposed to carry licenses in their wallets. Ask to see it!"

Thou shalt move only come winter
Tricky and unpleasant, we know, but if you can possibly wait to buy or rent between November and March, you'll likely find a bargain. "Typically, apartments are around $100 a month cheaper during those months," says Hill.

Thou shalt get all Sherlock Holmes about finding traces of vermin
"Open the cabinets, especially under the sink," urges Hill. "That will be the biggest indicator if there are unwanted roommates." Landlords legally have to tell you if there've been bedbugs in the building within the past year—but they aren't required to disclose rodent issues. (Makes sense.) Visit nyc.gov for a list of residences that have experienced rat attacks.

Thou shalt be prepared
Have all your paperwork (W2, employment letter, pay stubs, references) ready and on you when you scope out a pad. Hill recommends e-mailing yourself the docs so they can be forwarded at a moment's notice. A delay could lose you that new place—and then you'll end up hate-stalking whoever does get it.

Thou shalt talk to strangers
While social media is great (great, we say!), it never hurts to make a few calls or, you know, talk to people face-to-face, so they can witness your awesomeness in the flesh. "The best way to find crucial contact info for the landlord or management company is to poke around the lobby and scan the notice board," advises Hill. "You can also ask people there if they know of anyone moving out." Another obvious (often overlooked) tip: Call the numbers on for sale signs.
Photograph: Shutterstock
Thou shalt not mention your drums or drugs
Chatting with your potential roomies or landlord is no time to play up how cool you are. "Treat your viewing like an interview," suggests Hill. "Dress appropriately and bring attention to your positive characteristics—specifically that you can pay rent on time." So if your key trait is your ability to get the party started, zip it.

Thou shalt not be too choosy
"Most people only stay in an apartment for about one to two years," Hill points out. "Many of their credentials change, allowing them to find a bigger, better apartment, downsize or move in with their significant other. Don't let decent apartments slip away by being too picky. In NYC, if you hesitate, you lose the place."

About Us

In "Love Will Guide Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
Gather the children in a circle in the storytelling area and show them the story basket. Say something like, "Let's see what's in our story basket this week."
Tell the group the items in the story basket will be placed on this table after the children have passed them around the circle. Take the story-related items from the basket, one at a time, and pass them around. Objects that are fragile, or which should not be passed around for any reason, can be held up for all to see and then placed directly on the table.
As items come back to you, display them on the table. Then say, in your own words:
Today we are exploring the "wisdom in religions of the world." This is the third Source and it says Unitarian Universalists believe all faiths and beliefs have something important to share. Today we will learn about Sufism. It is a very old religion and a very gentle religion. Sufis believe that by opening your heart to love you can be closer to God. A devoted Sufi is called a Dervish.
Remove the chime from the story basket. Tell the children that every time you tell a story, you will first use the chime to help them get their ears, their minds, and their bodies ready to listen. Invite them to sit comfortably and close their eyes (if they are comfortable doing so). You may tell them that closing their eyes can help them focus just on listening. If someone is unable to close their eyes or sit still, invite them to hold one of the story basket items or an item from the fidget basket. In a calm voice, say:
As you breathe in, feel your body opening up with air. As you breathe out, feel yourself relaxing.
Repeat this once or twice and then say:
When I hit the chime (or, turn the rain stick over), listen as carefully as you can. See how long you can hear its sound. When you can no longer hear it, open your eyes and you will know it is time for the story to begin.
Sound the chime. When the sound has gone, begin telling the story "The Dervish in the Ditch." Use the chime again to indicate that the story is over.
Then, ask:
Make sure everyone has an opportunity to experience the items in the story basket, whether by sight or touch.
You may wish to make fidget objects available to children who find it difficult to sit still while listening to a story or can focus better with sensory stimulation. Remind children where the fidget basket is before you begin the "centering" part of this activity. (For a full description and guidance, see Session 1, Leader Resource 4.)
Consider using rug squares in the storytelling area. Place them in a semi-circle with the rule "one person per square." This can be very helpful for controlling active bodies.

You might ask where I've been lately, and believe me when I say that I've been insanely busy. First with Voodoo things are, shall we say, nuts. We are working to launch a new product line in the very near future. CPU Magazine requested that I write a monthly column, which means I will probably link to each and every column from my blog - but it also means that my time is getting thin. I also rode with Team Voodoo at the ride for MS this weekend (just a small group of us). We managed to raise some good money for MS research - it was a very well organized event. I'd like to thank all the people who sponsored me for this ride, it won't go unnoticed.
As many readers of my blog have witnessed I have been suggesting that there may be consolodation in the semiconductor space, and I have also said that ATi is a likely candidate for takeover. In my opinion ATi is a jewel that needs some polishing to make it into an amazing company. I, like all of you, have read the rumors - and I do have an opinion on the potential of AMD and ATi coming together and I will share my opinion in the upcoming issue of CPU Magazine. It's going to be a doozy.
In the meantime people have been questioning whether or not I've "switched camps" - and I think you need to realize that I was never in one particular camp. Voodoo has always supported the best technology, that is why up until now we sell 100% AMD on the desktop and workstation, and about 50/50 AMD to Intel on notebooks. People can't expect Intel to remain in this position forever and as such we have been eagerly awaiting the launch of Conroe. I have been testing it, and as I said before it's *!%#ing fast. I honestly believe Intel Conroe is going to revive our industry and kick things into high gear.
I still believe Conroe will be a challenge for Intel to produce in volume so I am a firm believer that Intel will not wage a price war unless they are forced to. It's hard to wage a war when you don't have enough ammunition. ..and to be perfectly honest, Intel may be able to demand a premium for Conroe Extreme so why bother discounting it?
Regarding AMD in Dell, I don't believe AMD will allow Dell to cherry pick only the top end Opteron for their portfolio. It is my belief that Dell will launch more AMD, including Turion and Athlon 64 in the near future. I just checked AMD's stock price - it seems like a killer opportunity to get in at the level that everyone was wishing they got in at before. Intel at $15-$16 looks pretty sweet too!
So that's it for my random babble, I'll be back soon - and be sure to check out the next edition of CPU - it should be interesting.


text: This facility is no longer a b&b, now doing "long term" (30day) rentals. However, not all units are continuously rented out and you can have a room by the day if your timing is right. Mine was and I am thankful. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable at a pleasing price. The "common area" has a full kitchen available.... More
