let me start out with the fact that im new to the hobby, i just bought a house and my father-in-law has me on a kick of growing stuff ever since he hooked us up with a few tomato plants in the backyard, ha...
im not proud of it but i manage a fish store and the bulbs that we use for the fish tanks,were talking 48" bulbs that put out approx. 40 watts of light, 10,000K and 20,000K as well as actinic and 50/50s(anything made by corallife really), we also have metal halides ranging in 175watts, 250watts and 400w... is this too much power for my Peppermint, habenaro peppers and strawberries? do i need lights at all? are these worth growing inside? im thinking about trying to grow this stuff in my new basement... any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

The basic technology is the same but the lights are not usually interchangeable because of the spectrum. Aquarium lights, especially salt water, and very especially coral lights, produce a spectrum almost entirely in the blue which is not ideal for plants. Something like a 10,000K lights isn't so far off but even they vary from virtually actinic to some with quite a spread of wavelengths. You could use these lights if you really wanted to but they have short lives and low light output compared to just standard cool white fluorescents from Home Depot. Perhaps you could use fittings from your store with a nice quality ballast and stick in some different tubes. How much power you need will depend entirely on how much area you want to cover. Metal halides are handy for getting a lot of light, for really high intensities, and for lighting taller plants, but not usually worth messing with anything below 400W. Personally I wouldn't grow them inside if you can put them out in the sun but lights are handy if you have no yard, for starting stuff in a controlled environment, or for extending the growing season. |

4. Integration: Basic Trigonometric Forms
by M. Bourne
We obtain the following integral formulas by reversing the formulas for differentiation of trigonometric functions that we met earlier:
`int sin\ u\ du=-cos\ u+K`
`int cos\ u\ du=sin\ u+K`
`int sec^2u\ du=tan\ u+K`
`int csc^2u\ du=-cot\ u+K`
We now apply the power formula to integrate some examples.
NOTE: All angles in this section are in radians. The formulas don't work in degrees.
Example 1: Integrate: `inte^xcsc^2(e^x)dx`
Example 2: Integrate: `int(sin(1/x))/(x^2)dx`
Integral of sec x, csc x
These are obtained by simply reversing the differentiation process.
`int sec\ u\ tan\ u\ du=sec\ u+K`
`int csc\ u\ cot\ u\ du=-csc\ u+K`
Example 3: Integrate: `int csc\ 2x\ cot\ 2x\ dx`
Integral of tan x, cot x
Now, if we want to find `int tan x\ dx`, we note that
`int tan x\ dx=int(sin x)/(cos x)dx`
Let `u=cos x`, then `du=-sin x\ dx`. Our integral becomes:
`int tan x\ dx=int(sin x)/(cos x)dx`
`=-ln |u|+K`
`=-ln |cos x|+K`
Similarly, it can be shown that
`intcot\ x\ dx=ln\ |sin\ x|+K`
Summary of Integrals of Trigonometric Functions
We summarise the trigonometric integrals as follows:
`inttan\ u\ du=-ln\ |cos\ u|+K`
`intcot\ u\ du=ln\ |\sin\ u|+K`
`intsec\ u\ du=ln\ |\sec\ u+tan\ u|+K`
`intcsc\ u\ du=ln\ |csc\ u-cot\ u|+K`
Example 4: Integrate: `intx^2cot\ x^3dx`
Example 5: Integrate: `6int_0^1 tan{:x/2:}dx`
Example 6: Find the area under the curve of `y = sin\ x` from `x = 0` to `x=(3pi)/2`.
Integrate each of the given functions:
1. `int(sin\ 2x)/(cos^2x)dx`
2. `int_(pi//4)^(pi//3)(1+sec\ x)^2dx`
3. If the current in a certain electric circuit is i = 110 cos 377t, find the expression for the voltage across a 500-μF capacitor as a function of time. The initial voltage is zero. Show that the voltage across the capacitor is 90° out of phase with the current.
We need the following result from electronics, which gives the voltage across a capacitor, where C is the capacitance:
`V_C=1/Cinti\ dt`
4. A force is given as a function of the distance from the origin as
`F=(2+tan\ x)/(cos\ x`
Express the work done by this force as a function of x if W = 0 for x = 0.

the rims can have the support ring removed/replaced. can the rims be used on other honda cars that use the same bolt pattern? does the rim have a unique bead/lip design that cannot be used on other tires? i found a set of free rims/tires and wonder if i can reuse them on other cars if i replace the tires and take out the support ring. |
Follow-Up Postings:
found a nice video at youtube showing the removal process. i can see the rim is built different internally to support the runflat ring. the lip looks similar to standard rims but it is not the same. the current rim owner says he cannot substitute normal tires on the rims. thats why he is giving them away. 300+ for each new tire. plus mounting at the honda dealer. |
With the Honda Pax system you have run flat tires on special rims, and you have an active TPMS system. Many people are choosing to "depax" their vehicles. This can be done in a number of ways. Apparently Acura MDX wheels and tires and sensors work. He's trying to recover some of his expense of doing the depax, and you'll be hard pressed to make efficient use of them IMO. www.collegehillshonda.com There is a video clip on that website describing depax options for their customers. The tire machine required for a shop to correctly service these wheels and tires costs over 10 grand. Only shops that genuinely see enough of these to justify that expense are buying it of course. |
i have not read why the tire wear is so poor. each assy weighs around 75lbs? the van strut is tuned to control this mass and replacing the wheels with aftermarket stuff affects the ride. shocks/springs/bushings/swaybars are all designed to work together. i wonder what an approved shop wants to remove the tire? the process pushed out the support ring which is than removed from the tire. i am thinking of just scrapping the rims since they are free. |
honda wants $20/tire to dismount. discount tire wants $80 each. yes, they have the equipment to do it but it takes along time. thru the magic of youtube, i saw a video where the tech took off the tire in 2 min. maybe it was edited? |

Cleveland Police Chief Charles "Buster" Bingham said three pit bulls attacked the driver trying to locate the proper address for a delivery order.
"One of our officers was locking the gates at the North Cleveland Cemetery on North Bayou Ave. when the driver stopped and asked the officer if he could help locate the address," said Bingham. "The officer was unsure of the correct location and the driver went to the property just north of the cemetery to search for the location.
"Shortly after, the officer heard growling and screaming that sounded like someone being attacked by dogs and he responded to the scene."
Bingham said three dogs attacked the driver and the officer was forced to discharge his weapon into the ground twice to scare off the dogs.
One dog continued to attack and the officer attempted to taze the dog before it scampered off.
"The officer then called for an ambulance and the victim was taken to the hospital," said Bingham.
The extent of the driver's injuries are unknown.
In a completely separate incident Friday night, the Bolivar County Volunteer Fire Department responded to a small shed fire in Renova around 8:30 p.m.
BCVFD Chief Lee Tedder said the fire occurred in an empty storage shed behind the baseball field off of Old Highway 61 in Renova. The cause of the incident is unknown.
Tedder said the backside of the shed was burned, but firefighters were able to put out the flames before it could cause damage to a nearby house.
"There was no insulation in the structure and we had to pull off some siding," Tedder said. "The power running to the shed was not connected."
About 16 firefighters responded to the call.

MIDDLEBURY — A long-in-the-works hydroelectric project slated for the Otter Creek Falls has taken two positive steps forward in recent weeks, with the Middlebury selectboard issuing a conditional letter of support and the Holm family submitting their plan for review by federal regulators.
MIDDLEBURY — An Addison County Superior Court jury on April 29 sided with Porter Hospital and one of its Emergency Department physicians in a malpractice lawsuit filed by the family of a Orwell man who died from a heart ailment in 2006.
BRIDPORT — Bridport and Ripton have picked new elementary school principals who both have strong ties to Addison County.
Bridport Central School directors recently selected Kathleen Kilbourne to lead their students and teachers beginning on July 1. Kilbourne, 38, is currently associate principal of Milton Elementary School and previously taught for 15 years at Bristol Elementary School. She will succeed longtime Bridport Principal Georgette Childs, who is retiring.
STARKSBORO — Starksboro author Ellen Michaud's new book, "Blessed: Living a Grateful Life," has Addison County written all over it. Dripping with vibrant imagery and drawing from a wide range of local examples, "Blessed" is a call for women to rest their minds, open up their hearts, listen and realize the beautiful flow of spiritual light that runs throughout themselves and the world.
MIDDLEBURY — A Vermont born and bred visionary, Susan Vigne helped broaden the scope of elementary education when she co-founded the Aurora School — taking students out of the classroom and putting them into the community through a hands-on approach to learning.
THE CAST OF the Middlebury Community Players' production of "The King and I" rehearses in the Town Hall Theater on the evening of April 25. The show opens April 28 and will be performed over two weekends.

Ask the Archivist
Decking Boalt's Halls
Q: Your column about Boalt Christmas carols reminded me of another old tradition. Does the law school still put on the annual Christmas Show?
A. Alas, the traditional ChrisHanuKwanPanchaBodhiSadeh Show no longer celebrates the season when the Light of Learning vanquishes the darkening mind of the law student. But memories linger long in the Law School Archives.
In December 1963, the Class of 1964 presented the annual Christmas Show, which that year was a musical review titled Nuts In Boalt. The (loose) plot involved a law student named Marvin Gardens (Myron Moskovitz) who is certain he has been driven crazy by law school, and seeks help from the eminent psychiatrist Stefan Riesenfreud (Ted Bell). The show was recorded, and subsequently issued as a two-disc LP album, later converted to a compact disc, and now mp3 files. Though some recording quality has been lost in the mutations, the spirit of what was obviously a very enjoyable evening continues to shine through. The opening number, "We Came to Boalt," is a classic.
Here are links to the musical review, with each file approximately one side of the original double LP:

ESPN And Electronic Arts Sign 15-Year Deal
What About Madden? (332 comments)
From the article: "At least in the short term, Madden's name will stay on the pro football game, rather than being replaced by ESPN or another brand."
I think it would be kind of silly for them to ink a deal with ESPN but not with Madden's current employer ABC. Hell, they're owned by the same parent company (Disney) and Monday Night Football (and ABC show, of course) has already dabbled in the video game market.
I'd expect it of EA to make sure that they had the rights to use of the ABC properties as well, although it will be interesting to see if they somehow incorporate ESPN Sunday Night Football into the Madden franchise.

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - Page updated at 07:30 p.m.Washington State quarterback recruit Austin Apodaca sticks with Cougar commitment
By Bud Withers
Seattle Times staff reporterWhen Mike Leach was done with his home visit — when he was finished chewing the fat about family, football and rodeos in Wyoming — he told Austin Apodaca something that resonated.
"They straight-up said it," said Apodaca. "They have big expectations. He pretty much told me: Expect the bowl-game lifestyle."
And finally, a quarterback who had hung tough with Washington State through all of its uncertainty could heave a big sigh of relief.
Take this to the bank: If Apodaca doesn't sign a football letter of intent Wednesday with the Cougars, it won't be because he changed his mind. He's been sold on the program since Day One. His story is illustrative, however, of some of the collateral stresses of the recruiting game.
"To be honest," said Mike Apodaca, his father and coach at Silver Creek High in Longmont, Colo., "it's way harder to be recruited twice than it is once by the same school."
The first time was a snap. Austin Apodaca, playing at the 3A level (5A is biggest) in Colorado, was a good, 6-foot-3 prospect who sent out a highlight tape of his junior year in January 2011.
He heard back from Paul Wulff's offensive coordinator, Todd Sturdy, and the Cougars expressed interest. They soon told him they were going to offer a scholarship, and Apodaca took an unofficial visit early last June.
"I just fell in love with the place," he said. "It was my kind of town, my kind of environment."
It was all so easy. Apodaca committed, shut down all the other recruiters and prepared for a stress-free senior year.
And mostly, it was. He threw for 44 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. Sturdy was at his game the night before the Cougars played at Colorado, and saw Apodaca riddle eventual state champ Windsor for four touchdowns, three through the air, in a 42-21 win. (Windsor would get even, 14-7, in the title game, as Apodaca had three interceptions and a fumble.)
Apodaca kept an eye on the Cougars from a distance, and his instincts would prove prophetic. It was the Oregon State loss at CenturyLink Field that began to gather dissent against Wulff.
"That was probably the first time I saw him crack a little bit," said Mike Apodaca. "Like, 'Crap, things might get weird here a little bit.' "
Wulff's future, Austin realized, might be his future. A new staff might not only run a different offense, it might revoke the scholarship offer.
On the last day of November, Wulff was fired.
"A couple of other schools from the Mountain West, some from the Pac-12, some from the WAC, came in to see if I was still committed," Austin said.
Leach was named the next day. Apodaca was steadfast, even as he had no contact from the new staff.
"I was aware I had options," he said. "I just always loved Washington State. I'm not one to commit and wait for the next-best thing. You should be a man of your word."
"He was incredible, to be honest with you," said his father. "I'm not sure I would have done the same."
One of the new staff's first priorities was to assess the recruits committed to Wulff. Some heard quickly. Apodaca didn't. Still, he didn't waver.
The senior Apodaca said it was between 10 days and two weeks before the new staff got in touch. Even then, there was no assurance. Then came the December "dead period," which grinds recruiting to a halt from before Christmas until after New Year's.
"That was probably the most challenging part," said Mike, "the dead period."
"I was unsure for about a month," his son said. "It was nerve-wracking for a 17-year-old."
As assistant coach Eric Morris explained it to them, Apodaca might have had to go through the most rigorous process of all the old recruits.
"With it being a quarterback, and coach Leach coaching that position, he was going to make sure," said Mike Apodaca. But it's logical the Cougars were trolling to judge interest levels of other quarterbacks.
Austin, who also plays point guard in basketball and center field for the Silver Creek baseball team, weighs 187 and assumes he'll redshirt. He was The Denver Post's All-Colorado quarterback for 2011.
Apodaca has an above-average arm, is mobile and makes a lot of plays on the run. WSU fans also have to appreciate this about him: He's already stood tall in the pocket for the Cougars.

Hi everybody! We bought a storage unit from a friend who got divorced, stored his stuff, and then never wanted to see it again. He moved away! One of the items we have that is absolutely gorgeous (but doesn't in any way fit into our design style) is a Henredon leather sofa, custom made. It is a three-cushion sofa, dark brown leather, VERY masculine design. Contemporary/modern, but almost looks like it would be in a Bogart movie at the same time. Since Henredon doesn't even list prices on their website, I've come to the conclusion that their furniture is in the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" category! Why don't we just ask him how much he paid for it? you may be thinking. It's a bit of a sticky-wicket situation -- he doesn't know exactly, as he just picked out the design he wanted and his then-wife ordered the furniture! Thanks for any hints, ideas, etc. |

See if you can find out what they are going for on eBay or CraigsList. |
Well you could always call the company and maybe get a round about figure. Obviously though you are not going to get out of it what was paid for it. Put it on craigslist with a price and see what happens. Leather is fabulous. By the by what state are you in? If close might be interested in it. Teri |

The management at Grant & Power Landscaping in West Chicago, Ill., is so confident that its company stands out in the market that it invites potential clients to compare it to other companies using a 36-point checklist. That said, managers know they must continually try to improve upon that. That's why the list containing customers' comments will be examined and discussed during a focus group that Grant & Power Landscaping plans to convene sometime this year to develop business strategies on the company's strengths and weaknesses.
Although details about the survey group have not yet been finalized, Jan-Gerrit Bouwman, sales manager, says the company plans to utilize SurveyMonkey, an online customer survey portal. Additionally, the company will extend personal invitations to select customers for feedback meetings.
"As a company we like to evaluate our processes every year and see what is working well and what we can improve," notes Bouwman.
Part of those improvement efforts has entailed hiring a business development manager this year to pursue expansion, he adds. That ongoing improvement approach has been part and parcel of the company's mission since Gene R. Grant Jr. and Tom Power started Grant & Power Landscaping. That was in 1978 when the two were teenagers. In 1982, Power decided to pursue another career and Grant bought out his partner. Grant now serves as CEO of the company, having retained the regionally recognized name as well as the letters G and P and a tree on the logo.
Three partners - Bouwman, sales manager; Scott Hutchings, vice president of operations; and Sharon Zipse, CFO - make up the rest of the company's management team.
Bouwman, RLA, MLA, ASLA, started with the company in 1998. A native of The Netherlands, he received his master's degree in landscape architecture, plant ecology and vegetation science at the University of Wageningen in The Netherlands. He has served as a mentor and a Trailblazer for PLANET.
Owner/Management: Gene R. Grant Jr., CEO; Jan-Gerrit Bouwman, RLA, MLA, ASLA, sales manager; Scott Hutchings, vice president of operations; and Sharon Zipse, CFO
Founded: 1978
Headquarters: West Chicago, Ill.
Markets: Northwestern, western and southwestern suburbs of Chicago
Services: Maintenance, including edging, pruning, weed-eating and spring and fall clean-ups (the company does not provide mowing); design/build; and snow plowing
Employees: 100
Website: http://www.grantandpower.com
Grant & Power employs 100 people, including two full-time mechanics who handle vehicle and equipment maintenance. While the company looks for employees who have qualifications and are team players, the most important trait is a positive attitude, says Bouwman.
The company offers a monthly five-step maintenance program. Clients are invited to create and customize their own programs. The five-step program includes a spring cleanup in April or May; early summer maintenance in June and July; late summer maintenance in August or September; fall care and winterizing in October or November, and winterizing and dormant pruning in November or December. The monthly estate maintenance program is recommended to clients who require a consistent professionally groomed appearance for their landscapes.
Bouwman says more and more clients are requesting rain gardens, as almost every property has issues with drainage. Rain gardens, as well as permeable pavement and rain harvesting, play a role in addressing poor drainage, he says, adding that water management will become a more significant concern going forward.
As with most companies, the recent recession affected Grant & Power Landscaping. Bouwman says that many companies in the local market responded by slashing their prices, while others operated by paying cash to employees and avoiding workers' compensation costs.
"A lot of companies don't abide by the rules. That's always an issue," he says. "It's not very easy because it's so very competitive. Somebody comes in and does the job for half. You move on; there is nothing you can do."
To retain its customers, the company puts its focus on quick turnaround in service and quality control, Bouwman says.
The company's umbrella services, established prior to the onset of the 2008-2009 Recession, have helped sustain revenues. Each of its services - design/build, maintenance and snow plowing - brings in one-third of the company's revenues, with customer retention rates high. For example, maintenance and snow plowing services retain about 90 percent of the customers, and 65 to 70 percent of the design/build jobs are from referrals.
While the Recession also put a dent in the amount of community service in which the company is engaged, it still remains a priority. The company has participated in the PLANET Day of Service, GreenCare for Troops and the Kelly Hutchings Memorial Golf Outing to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The company is also a sponsor for the Illinois fundraising efforts of Operation Support Our Troops-America (OSOT America), a nonprofit group established to assemble care packages to send to U.S. troops serving overseas.
Grant & Power Landscaping has earned many landscape awards. Bouwman attributes that to the company's ability to attract and retain high-end customers.
"When you move up to higher end customers, you get more unique jobs and when you get more unique jobs, you can turn those into awards," he points out.
Equipment upgrades are conducted with an eye to leveraging the best technology for increased ergonomic comfort, enhanced safety and minimal maintenance needs.
The company points out on its website that the green industry has one of the highest OHSA-identified hazard rates in the U.S. and that it endeavors to focus on improving the industry's safety standard. Grant & Power Landscaping adheres to PLANET's Safety Training Achieves Remarkable Success (STARS) safe company program to help reduce hazards and injuries. It has been honored by PLANET for its safety efforts.
Project managers are committed to safety excellence and employee training. The company tracks job-related incidents, meets OHSA postings and regulatory requirements, enters the STARS program annually, hosts ongoing discussions about safety with employees, shares best safety practices with fellow PLANET members and encourages other companies to join.
Going forward, in addition to establishing focus groups, Bouwman says Grant & Power Landscaping plans to build upon its success by expanding services to its existing residential and commercial customer base, such as burying gas lines for grills and fireplaces, coordinating tree removals and tree pruning, and providing irrigation systems, trellises and arbors.
"We are still brainstorming for more ideas," says Bouwman. "In the future we will be expanding geographically, but that is a few years away."
The award-winning company boasts staff members who answer calls from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, an interactive website, 35 years of experience, financing options, references, clean and well-equipped vehicles, professional and bilingual staff, quality control, a comprehensive maintenance program, a snow-tracking system for real-time information, professional membership, community involvement, and licensed and insured employees.
While acknowledging that other companies in the market provide similar service, they do not comprise the majority, claims Bouwman.
"We have a very strong brand so when a customer calls us, they know we are going to take care of them," he says.
So much so that the company updated its mission statement to reflect that approach: "At Grant & Power Landscaping we work to share our professional experience and expertise to help our customers' visions come alive. We build long lasting relationships with our customers, employees and community through ethical business practices, exceptional customer service and innovative ideas. Our goal is to always surpass expectations."

LAFF 2013 Review: Few Things Last 'Forev,' But That Doesn't Mean They're Not Worth the Trip
LA Film Fest By Allison Loring on June 15, 2013 | Be the First To CommentLos Angeles is known for being a town where it is hard to meet people and have meaningful interactions. Angelinos live in their cars and do not frequently use public transportation like other big cities such as New York and Chicago, further lessening the chance you will randomly catch someone's eye across a crowded subway car. There is certainly a predominant bar and night life scene in LA, but it is rare to walk away from those interactions with anything more than a random hook up. Forev gives audiences a glimpse into single life in Los Angeles for two 20-somethings looking to connect with someone, but not quite sure how. Pete (Matt Mider) is a mild mannered guy spending an evening in with a pizza and some TV, but his night is quickly interrupted when his neighbor Sophie (Noël Wells) crashes through his door in the throes of a very intense make out session. After overhearing her potential hook up bragging about her on the phone to his friends, she quickly sobers up and as it becomes clear Pete does not look put out because Sophie mistook his apartment for her own, he may have a thing for Sophie himself.

Lancaster Regional Players' 'Best Christmas Pageant Ever' great family fun
BY: Jennifer Lysiak, Lancaster Editor | November 15, 2012
LANCASTER- Since Christmas is a wonderful time to spend with family what better way to come together this holiday then to attend the Lancaster Regional Player's production of 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," at the Lancaster Opera House.
Called one of America's favorite Christmas stories, "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" has been a favorite among young readers since 1972. Funny, memorable, and outrageous, it is a story about a family of incorrigible children who discover the Christmas Story for the first time and help everyone else rediscover its true meaning.
The Herdmans, who are the worst kids in the history of the world lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear, and hit little kids. So no one is prepared when this outlaw family invades church one Sunday and decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant.
None of the Herdmans has ever heard the Christmas Story before. Their interpretation of the tale: the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies and Herod needs a good beating, has a lot of people up in arms. But it will make this year's pageant the most unusual anyone has seen and, just possibly, the best one ever.
First time directing for The Lancaster Regional Players, David Nuijens, said the story is about a sense of renewal.
"We look at Christmas as new beginnings and certainly that's what the Christmas Story was all about. The Herman's, the nasty kids in the town, all of sudden are getting the idea," said Nuijens, who has been acting and directing for many years.
Directing this show, Nuijens works with a cast consisting of kids of all ages and from all over Western New York, including Lancaster, Alden, Amherst, Clarence, and Williamsville.
"The energy is a little scattered now, but they're doing well," remarked Nuijens. "I'm lucky we have some very good kids. I enjoy working with them."
Nuijens said the show is a group effort and his directing style is not to dictate how the actors should do things.
"I take suggestions from the kids, the adults, and the parents and we try to put something together that we think is going to be enjoyable," said Nuijens. "Christmas shows you always know you're going to have a big audience. I think they will enjoy seeing the kids on stage."
Starring in her first lead, Christina Morrow of Lancaster will be performing as Beth Bradley, the narrator, who is telling the story.
"I'm nervous because it is my first lead and I haven't had this many lines before, but I also find it extremely exciting," said Morrow.
Morrow, a junior, attends Lancaster High School and has been performing in opera house plays since 2008 when she had her first role in The Miracle on 34th Street. Since then, she has taken on roles in Annie and The Miracle Worker.
"I really like being able to portray different characters," said Morrow. "I like being on stage and I like to bring enjoyment to people."
Morrow plans to go to college in Los Angeles and get a bachelor's in fine arts. In 10 years, she hopes to be successfully supporting herself in acting, possibly working in television.
"I believe someone should come and see this show, because we offer a new perspective on the Christmas Story and we're young, which means we bring a new persona to the stage," remarked Morrow. "It's loud. It's fun. It's enjoyable and it's funny."
An interesting element to the show is the two individuals who play Mrs. Clark and Shirley, who is part of the Baby Angel Choir. Mother and daughter in the show and in real life mom, Deann, and daughter, Catherine Powell of Clarence, will be performing together for the first time.
However, Catherine who is nine years old has been acting for four years. Deann is new to theater.
"I like the feeling of being on stage and going to rehearsals and just being there and acting," Catherine said.
Deann explained that Catherine has performed in three opera house summer theater camps and has worked with the Amherst Players. And after that experience, Catherine asked if she would audition with her in the next show.
"And I said I would think about it and this came up and this was actually one of my favorite books when I was a kid so I did," said Deann. "It is an awesome story."
Deann added the cast is amazingly talented and working with Nuijens is wonderful too.
"It's been amazing. I wish I would have done this years ago," Deann remarked. "As a long as my daughter wants me there, I will audition. I can't promise I'll ever get another part, but I will audition."
Catherine said she enjoys having her mom with her in the show.
"She can help me and I can coach her and, like, she can keep track of my water bottle," laughed Catherine. "It's fun to do it with her. People should come see the show, because it is really funny and the cast is really, really good."
The cast also includes Alex Bogart, Annabella Bogart, Aaron Boos, Mary Louise Dahlke, Cassandra Lynn Dwyer, Allsion Gray, Mitchel Guidie, Cameron Heffler, Stacy Kowal, Michael Maciejewski, Christina Metauro, Adam Misnik, Alex Schilling, Jake Shapiro, Penny Striker, and Kelsey Szefler. Members of the Angel Choir are Maeve Devine, Maddalena Orbach, Annabel Paradise, Sarah Pasternak, Jadyn Potoczniak, and Julia Smith.
Performances will be beginning Friday, Nov. 30 and run through Sunday, Dec. 16 with shows at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and 2:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for students and seniors, and $13 for children 12 and under. The Lancaster Opera House Box Office is open from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and one hour before curtain on show nights. The Lancaster Opera House is located on the second floor of the Lancaster Town Hall, 21 Central Ave., Lancaster. Tickets can also be purchased by calling 683-1776 or on the Web at www.LancOpera.org.

Thursday Thoughts
40May 10, 2012 by Katie
Hey everyone! It's THURSDAY! Guess what that means?! You've almost made it to the weekend! Haha Thursday was always one of my favorite days because you're so close! Although I'm in Kansas City enjoying my break from school and work, I still have plenty of thoughts to share with you. The brain hasn't been turned off completely, just focusing on more fun things!
1. I love these bracelets that I saw on pinterest! I'm adding them to my "To Do" list for this summer, I'm hoping to make a few! My favorite is the teal and gold one, the second picture.
2. This is a great quote and something that I remind myself of when I think – why don't I have toned a toned stomach or back, why aren't I faster, why didn't I get better grades? Did I really put in the effort?
3. I've been DYING For a lemon bar! When I was younger they were my favorite dessert, and I found this gluten free recipe! I just might have to try it…
4. So pretty. So majestic.
4. I love this dress. This is the kind of thing I imagine myself wearing when I'm "grown up," aka have a real job and have events to go to that would require such a lovely dress.
5. How cool is this idea? I definitely want to try it, however I'm going to have a hard time finding a sock to match my hair color…
6. This is a quote I say to myself whenever I'm doing anything that I start to think is too hard, or I can't complete. I definitely said it over and over again in my head during many long runs. Plus, I LOVE this movie…
7. So remember my deep and undying love for Peeta (aka Josh Hutchinson?):
Um… yea. Well I discovered he was born in 1992… which makes him younger than my little brother. And at least a year from turning 21… *sigh* Time to let go of that one. But don't worry:
and he's also a redhead.
Any projects on your To Do list this summer?
What's your favorite animal? Mine are the elephant and the blue whale
Category Thursday Thoughts | Tags: pinterest

haha. nice.I love that sock bun. so unique!
He'll be 21 this year if he was born in 1991!!! That's not bad at all – you go girl! haha!
I love the black dress!
My favorite animals are dogs, but I love elephants, too!
The sock bun is amazing! I recently tried it after seeing it on pinterest and I'm in love. It's so easy. You don't have to have a sock that's exactly your hair color, just something close. If you roll it well, you won't see the sock underneath the hair.
I love those bracelets as well! So beautiful.
mmm i love me some lemon bars too!! we'll make them together someday and then we can eat the whole batch together, mmkay?
I'm in love with bracelets right now. The more the better As for animals, I love black bears and penguins.
I love moose. Maybe I will get to see one when I am back home in Maine next week. Projects-update my teaching licenses.
I want that dress- it's so pretty!! I just need to have somewhere to wear it!
love love love the peeta/katniss meme I was also born in 1992 = my obsession with josh hutcherson has increased exponentially now that i know that!
I love the black dress – so classy! Favorite animal = giraffes! I think I like them because they are tall and I am so short!
HAHA. You make me laugh!!! LOVE that last one–that's pretty good
That dress is real pretty. And I LOVE that quote about things being hard. Stealing
I don't want to think about my To Do list for summer–my hubby and I are selling our house, moving across the country (which means finding a new home), and planning a trip to Europe! And I will also need to find a job now that I've graduated and we'll be in a new city!
Those bracelets are super super cute, I keep meaning to hit up the craft store over the weekend, but there never seems to be time!
Lol too cute you would look great next to Prince Harry! He is the cute one between the brothers!,
LOVE that dress! Although I too need an occasion to wear something like it
I am shocked to find out Peeta is a baby!! What did you think of the guy who played Gale? I thought he was hot, but he looked WAY older than he should have! He looked like a Hollywood movie star, not someone in District 12!
hahah I showed one of my students the Peeta picture because she is obsessed with him!!! Granted she is only 12 years old and really genuinely thinks she is going to marry him..oh middle schoolers..
Oh laaaawdy, a 92 child? Dang. Does that make me a cougar if I'm 24?

[666] Massive Foveolar-Gland Polyposis of the Stomach: Clinicopathologic, Histologic, and Molecular Analysis of Three Cases with Gastrectomy
Raul S Gonzalez, Juan M Sarmiento, Neal Osborn, Steven Keilin, James R Spivey, Michael Rossi, Charles Hill, Pelin Bagci, Volkan Adsay. Emory, Atlanta
Background: A distinctive syndrome characterized by massive transformation of the gastric mucosa into innumerable hyperplastic/hamartomatous-like polyps has been sporadically described in the gastroenterology and surgical literature, but its pathologic features have not been fully characterized, and nomenclature has varied.
Design: Clinicopathologic and molecular characteristics of three such patients who underwent gastrectomy are described.
Results: Two men and one woman, aged 37, 50, and 53, had massive polyposis replacing the entire gastric mucosa (Image 1). The polyps ranged from a few mm to 9 cm in size. Microscopically, they had hyperplastic features with foveolar-type lining. They appeared to originate and protrude from surface epithelium, with lower aspects of the mucosa typically unremarkable. Cystically dilated glands were often present, suggesting a hamartomatous nature. All patients had fewer than five inflammatory-type colon polyps. One patient, with a history of microsatellite-stable right-sided colorectal carcinoma, had a 3 mm gastric invasive adenocarcinoma of diffuse-infiltrative ("poorly cohesive cell") type. The other patients had focal dysplastic changes but no carcinoma. The patient with cancer and her sister both had a heterozygous c.1139G>A SMAD4 germline mutation. Copy number variation analysis performed on tissue from another patient showed a gain in chromosome 18 at the locus containing SMAD4, again implicating the gene in the pathogenesis of this syndrome. Immunostaining for SMAD4 was noncontributory. All patients are alive at 43, 16, and 8 months.
Conclusions: Massive gastric polyposis is emerging as a distinct syndrome. Based on morphologic characteristics in this study, we propose the name Massive Foveolar-gland Polyposis Syndrome (MFPS). Germline SMAD4 mutation appears to be the key event, and this entity may be related to the subset of Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome (JPS) cases associated with SMAD4 mutation, which occasionally show malignant transformation. Unlike in JPS, polyps in MFPS are largely restricted to the stomach, with only rare non-adenomatous polyps in the lower GI tract. Appropriate genetic evaluation should be performed MFPS patients.

Need Information?
A pacemaker is a small device, about the size of a matchbox, which is run by a battery, electronic circuits and computer memory that together generate electronic signals through wires, or leads, which are attached to the heart wall. It helps the heart beat in a regular rhythm.
Pacemakers can help pace the heart in cases of slow heart rate, fast and slow heart rate, or a blockage in the heart's electrical system. It is programmed to stimulate the heart at a pre-determined rate, and settings can be adjusted at any time.
The most common reason for a pacemaker is a heartbeat that slows to an unhealthy rate (bradycardia). A pacemaker resets the heart rate to an appropriate pace; ensuring adequate blood and oxygen are delivered to the brain and other parts of the body. It may also be used for:
Most pacemaker surgery is done under local anesthesia so the patient is awake during the procedure, but the area where the pacemaker is implanted is numb. The procedure usually takes between one and two hours.
A pacemaker is implanted just below the collarbone. If only one lead is needed, it is placed inside the lower-right chamber (the right ventricle). If two leads are needed, the other is placed in the upper-right chamber (the right atrium). The leads are then attached to the pacemaker.
Pacemakers are checked with a device called a programmer. When the programmer is held over the pacemaker, it is able to get information about how the pacemaker is working. The programmer can also be used to change the controls of the pacemaker. Routine evaluation, in the doctor's office or even over the telephone, ensures the pacemaker is working properly and monitors battery life, which generally runs from five to ten years.
The American Heart Association (AHA) advises that if you have a pacemaker, you should be aware of your surroundings and of any devices that may interfere with it.
Here is a list of devices that will not affect or damage pacemakers. Most people do not need to worry about coming into contact with these devices.
Here is a list of devices that will affect pacemakers. Your pacemaker may not work properly if you come into contact with these devices.

Hi everyone: Please use this space to raise questions, post news, share stories, start discussions, or in general engage in conversations related to Wikipedia Regional Ambassadors.
You can also send questions to the Wikipedia Regional Ambassador Google Group mailing list at email@example.com or visit it on the web. Archive is not public, so either join the list or request to receive replies by e-mail.
These are questions which have been framed other places, appear to be important the function of the Regional Ambassadors, and have yet to be answered. When they come up in emails or discussion, they tend to disappear in the onrush of new communication. This cannot be allowed to happen, so here is a place to collect them, until they are answered, so that they will have a stable presence somewhere. Please leave this section at the top of the list, so that it's easy to SEE and respond to. This is not an ordinary discussion topic. I have placed the open questions I know about in priority order as I perceive it to be; feel free to change the order if you are so inclined. (Tom C.)
Explanation. The version of the Memorandum of Understanding which is to be used in the fall is the final document specifying to faculty what is expected of them when they become Wikipedia Teaching Fellows. A number of faculty have been waiting, some for weeks, to see this document, before they commit. It is becoming urgent that we meet their need, I think.
Q: Please, when might we have even a final draft, if not a final version, of this document? 22.214.171.124 19:05, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
A: NOW. See current version (Release Candidate 01?) on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:United_States_Education_Program/MOU
Explanation. This possibility has been raised a couple of time, and the idea appears to have gained approval. This might help give our email communications added "clout".
Q: What is the status of this idea? 184.108.40.206 19:16, 1 August 2011 (UTC) +1 Mattsenate (talk) 19:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
A: Last I heard, Annie said she'd ask Frank about this. Bob the Wikipedian (talk) 04:04, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
I just wrote this letter to a prof. about getting a quick start on editing for someone who's arranged to have a tutorial session with me this Friday. This gives her some well-written, focused material the dive into before we talk. One of the documents will be the core of our tutorial in face, as I mention. Just thought other RA's might find this useful. This all came from the [Bookshelf], by the way.
TomCloyd (talk) 05:41, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
...to the newly selected Regional Ambassadors! Annie Lin (talk) 23:31, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
I know that a lot of work is, and will be, going into this. Thanks for this resource, and for allowing us all to be a part of this very exciting initiative. I see great promise in what we're doing. Now we just have to make it happen. These pages will certainly help! TomCloyd (talk) 16:01, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
What is the protocol regarding Memorandums of Understanding for returning courses? That is, does each new semester of a course require a new MOU? Also the resource page notes that a new MOU is in the works, will all courses need to shift over to this forthcoming document? Maximilianklein (talk) 18:00, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
Could this page be moved to Wikipedia US Regional Ambassadors, as it does not include many others of us?Leutha (talk) 11:14, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
Do you seriously expect many Canadians to be interested in becoming regional ambassadors if you decide arbitrarily to close down English Wikipedia over some parochial U.S. political dispute? Do you think Canadian, British, Indian, etc., university professors will be inclined to use Wikipedia as a teaching tool if its functioning depends on the whims of a bunch of Yanks who can't see beyond their own borders?
This closure is one of the most moronic actions I have ever seen taken by people over the age of ten. It won't achieve any positive result. All it will do is insult non-American users, and damage the reputation of Wikipedia as an objective institution.
DOwenWilliams (talk) 03:04, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
I think this is a good idea but IMO its not going to solve all the problems. Unfortunately, for many reasons, Wikipedia is developing and cultivating an atmosphere of uncivil behavior, assumptions of bad faith and just generally a lack of patience when dealing with new editors. The read and learn all the policies before making your first edit approach isn't very realistic. In the case of this particular idea, what will end up happening is the same thing that will end up happening with the idea of the Campus ambassadors. We'll recruit a whole bunch of eager a well intentioned editors and then run them off with uncivil behavior. Only in this case the ones we are running off aren't the students but the professors and they have a lot of nubile young minds to influence away from WP. I think if we are going to do something like this we need to start dealing with the uncivil behavior or this good idea just might end up backfiring. --Kumioko (talk) 13:34, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
For historical reasons, much talk of ambassadors in general, and regional ambassadors in particular, focuses on the USA (or at least North America). I think it would be appropriate for outreach.wikimedia.org to try to reach out to other parts of the world. What do you think? (I'd love to help on the European side...) Bobrayner (talk) 20:13, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
I boldly edited Wikipedia Professor Orientation/Module Three. Perhaps others may want to review my edits or contribute their own. Pine(talk) 07:59, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
My group now has 30 members and we'd like to have a private sandbox so we can practice technique. Can that be arranged? 184.108.40.206 06:59, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
I have been regional ambassador for both California and the Pacific Northwest for a while. user:Kevin Gorman wanted California so I gave it to him. user:Guerillero gave Kevin course coordinator rights. Elsewhere, user:ragesoss and user:ktr101 gave input into this and said that it seemed not inappropriate. If anyone else has comments then please share. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:15, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
This seems like a good opportunity to start moving the whole Regional Ambassadors infrastructure to Wikipedia. I suggest that we port over the list of RAs, and then set up a lightweight procedure for requesting the course coordinator on the education noticeboard, for anyone who wants to do RA-like activities (such as Kevin's case of wanting to help professors in the Bay Area get started). Speaking individually, I certainly endorse Kevin, but I don't think any community-based process like this should be based on Outreach, and we're long overdue for moving over the RA stuff anyway.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 22:38, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

St. Charles Journal | News | NEW: Lake Saint Louis man shoots neighbor he thought was intruder
A bad outcome for someone who probably drunkenly stumbled into the wrong house. I can totally see the homeowner not being able to recognize his neighbor in a darkened house after just waking up, especially since the neighbor was in an altered mental status, and thus not as easy for the victim to recognize (if he even knew him at all).A Lake Saint Louis man says he shot an intruder that turned out to be his neighbor.
Police said they received a call around 5:30 a.m. Thursday morning from the homeowner, who lives alone in the Harbor Town condominiums located on the western edge of Lake Saint Louis. They arrived to the scene to find the next-door neighbor laying on the floor, shot in the knee and pelvis.
When questioned by police, the homeowner said he was sleeping upstairs when he heard a noise, grabbed his gun and found a person in his downstairs kitchen. The homeowner warned the man three times to not move or he would shoot, police said, but the man continued to approach the homeowner, who was on the staircase.
Police said they suspect the man had been drinking, as his speech was slurred and he smelled of alcohol. He was taken to SSM St. Josephs Hospital in St. Charles and is expected to recover.
The case is still under investigation, and the names of both men were not released. Police do not suspect the homeowner of foul play.

I grew up thinking I didn't like veggies. As a vegetarian, this was a bit of a problem! When I finally started cooking for myself, I realized that I love them- just not boiled or canned. The caramelization that happens to vegetables when roasted=magic! My one year old boys agree- for the most part. But when even roasting won't cut it, I've found that shredding them up with some potatoes and making hashbrowns always does the trick. Whether it's zucchini, rutabaga, squash- hashbrowns are my savior! |

how do you make these hash browns i would love to know |
Just shred the veggies and add to the shredded potatoes. I've found that it helps to have a little more potato than vegetable so they'll stick together. And I always add onion, but my kids love onions. I add a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, mix it all in a bowl, then add to frying pan that is also lightly oiled. I often have two pans going at a time so I can keep extra in the fridge once they're made. I've thrown in carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, rutabaga, squash, zucchini, turnips, you name it! If you're worried about your kids loading up on too many potatoes, though, you can make fritters instead. My kids seem to like those, too, and then they get the added health benefits from eggs. |
As a children's cooking teacher (and a parent myself), I'm not a big fan of hiding vegetables. The #1 reason (in my opinion) that children learn to hate veggies is that their parents TEACH them that vegetables are to be feared, disliked and distrusted. Even if it's not said in so many words, what do children learn when their parents 'sneak' vegetables into other foods? When parents tell them, no dessert until you eat your vegetables. It's a clear message--these things are so foul, that we have to masquerade them as something else and punish you if you don't eat them. With parents giving them that message, what kid has a chance of learning to love vegetables? I happend to love vegetables--almost all of them, cooked almost any way possible. As a result, they were presented as something to enjoy in our house, my dd saw me eating them with pleasure, and she never picked up on the fact that she was supposed to 'hate' them. Lead by example--show your children what a treat it is to have fresh fruits and vegetables on the table. Let them help pick out some pretty ones at the market, or better yet--have them grow their own. Don't force vegetables, don't punish if they don't like a particular one. There are so many to choose from, that it's okay if they have a few favorites and a few they can't stand. Now, I do cook with vegetables--I add assorted vegetables to my meatloaf (adds flavor/moistness, cuts down on fat), I always add a handful of carrots to my BBQ (makes it sweeter and more flavorful), I add other vegetables to other foods as well--BUT the difference is I DO NOT hide those things from my family. They know I'm putting the vegetables in to make the original recipe better. I'd also respectfully suggest that making frying your 'go to' method for getting vegetables into your kids, you're sending another poor message--anything fried is good, is a treat. Even if you're frying in a relatively healthy manner, it's the MESSAGE they're learning that will stick with them the rest of their lives that's the problem. |
Thanks for these tips. My two year old son doesn't like veggies that much except for carrot. Thanks a lot, you give me some idea on what other foods to add on the menu. I really hope he will eat veggies. I'm also researching other nutritious foods that he will like and will be good for his overall health. |

Herbert W. Armstrong's first visit to Czechoslovakia occurred midway through 1985, about six months before his death. Located in Central Europe, the country has its modern origins dating back to late 1918 after its declaration of independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. During World War ii, Adolf Hitler, eager for lebensraum, split the country and ordered its inclusion as part of Nazi Germany. Then, during the mid-1940s, its land was seized by the Soviets. It remained a Communist state through the late 1980s.
The unofficial ambassador for world peace took a short flight from Paris to Prague, initiated at the request of Jaroslav Gebert, a representative of the Czech government adjunct responsible for travel of foreigners, events and conventions.

I am working on stripping an old chifferobe. I am using the same stripper that I've used on about 5 other pieces in the last week very successfully - it seems to have very little effect on this piece, however.
On others, I was able to put it on, go about some other work, and come back and scrape off most, if not all of the finish. This thing however seems like it automatically dries the stripper out before I even finish applying it - what I am able to scrape off looks like wax. What do I need to use to remove the waxy finish to be able to get to the actual color on the piece? Thanks in advance! Stan |
Follow-Up Postings:
I usu Mineral Spirits as an all-purpose cleaner of sticky substances. A product call Goo Gone also works. I haven't had either cause any harm to a surface but will loosen a poor condition finish. |

Are You Looking For More Love In Your Life?
Then you've come to the right place, because Rachael Lay is all about how to improve not only the amount of love in your life, but the quality of love.
Because life really is too short, to not experience and enjoy the most INCREDIBLE kind of love possible.
See, I've discovered that when our lives are full of good, rich, deep PASSIONATE love, we stand at the gateway to so many possibilities.
When we know what it is to feel loved, to love, then everything else becomes so much easier and there are so many more bonuses to be had in life.
My business, my passions, my mission, are all about love.
Love for others, love from others, love for yourself.
I have seen incredible changes, witnessed huge turn arounds, and celebrated wonderful successes when love was the guide.
Ultimately, I know that when we set love as the foundation for a good life, we can make our way through so much more than we ever believed we were capable of.
And yet, so many of us are accepting love less than that which we really desire.
- We exist in relationships that are unhappy
- We lose ourselves in trying to make others love us
- We hide our sexuality and withhold our natural desires
- We stop loving ourselves because of what we believe about who we are
Too many people let themselves believe that what they have, is as good as it gets.
But I can promise you that life can be absolutely AMAZING when you let more love into it.
My business is about SPREADING THE LOVE and all of my coaching offerings are based on creating, sharing, expressing, feeling and living love.
That might mean helping you to overcome relationship problems so you can create more love with your partner;
Or perhaps you need help with finding true love;
It could mean supporting you in feeling more love for yourself, so that you can accept more love from others;
Whatever love means to you, I can help.
I specialise in love, and I'm passionate about the relationships we have with ourselves, and with others.
So, if you are ready for more love in your life, take a look at my offerings pages to learn more and I look forward to hearing from you.
