My garage door remote won't open the garage door but my neighbour's remote can when the wall unit's lock out mode is turned on.The opener is a Sears Craftsman Model #13953910. Neighbour has a genie. I already tried erasing the existing code by pressing the learn button but it does not go out by itself after the 6 seconds or longer and the remote still worked.The problem is the same for the two garage door openers in my house so I don't think it's the logic boards. Thanks in advance for the advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There's an LED on the unit near the learn button. If it's flashing, it's giving you some diagnostic codes. If you have a door control that isn't just a plain button, try disconnecting it from the overhead unit. Then see if you can erase all of the existing remotes. The door control has a circuit board in it and I'm thinking maybe there's something wrong with it. |
Thanks for the quick reply and post. My husband went and brought a new opener. Problem solved I hope. |

Ubisoft has told CVG that reports of its new always-online DRM system having been cracked already are false.
"You have probably seen rumors on the web that Assassin's Creed II and Silent Hunter 5 have been cracked," it said in reference to the earlier report of submarine sim Silent Hunter 5 having been cracked to work without being online constantly.
Ubi added: "Please know that this rumor is false and while a pirated version may seem to be complete at start up, any gamer who downloads and plays a cracked version will find that their version is not complete."
The DRM system, which requires users to be connected to the internet at all times during gameplay (there is no offline option), was included in submarine sim Silent Hunter 5 when it released in the US yesterday.
Crackers claim that those who download its pirated version need only "Install game and copy crack, it's that simple!" Are they telling porkies?

I'm finally back in Ottawa after a long spell of travelling. I visited some travel media in London, U.K., then headed to Cardiff, Wales for the Travel Media Association of Canada conference. That conference will be held in Ottawa in 2011, so we hosted a luncheon to invite delegates to sign up.
We decorated the room with a huge banner of the Peace Tower from Parliament Hill, had tulips as centrepieces to celebrate the Canadian Tulip Festival, and provided everyone with a maple-flavoured lollipop with their dessert, courtesy of Fulton's Pancake House and Sugar Bush.
The highlight was this video, which we shot over a period of a few months. How many people / places can you name?

Any advice on trading w/someone who is not listed as a GW member. Or I just can't find them when doing a member search. I was unlisted once when I haven't logged on for awhile (months) and had to re-establish my member page.
thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
When I receive e-mails from non-GW members with requests, my first e-mail response is to politely suggest that they join the GW. Perhaps your inquiry will reveal more information about your potential trader. With most trades I like to know who I am corresponding with which includes their GW biography and GW trade list. Chervil2 |
A non-gardenweb person can ask about a trade. I don't mean someone just hanging around looking without being a member. If someone googles an item, and it is on your trade page, they can link to you. Like earlier I was trying to find a web site with good info on Glaskin's Perpetual Rhubarb because I have little seedlings, and my trade page was not that far down the google list. Now, as far a trade goes, I've had some very good seed trades from unknown people. But a seed trade gone bad you're only out a little bit. I've never done a plant trade with an unknown person. You could always ask that they send first. Remy |
Well, here is a really strange one. I got an email via GW about a trade. Their email wasn't blocked so I wrote back and we are trading. BUT...when I do a member search, their name doesn't come up. Soooo. go figure. I suggested them contacting GW to report the technical snaffu problem. Has anyone else ever seen this b4? Sue |

Did you figure out this mystery? I got an email recently from someone and it says "This email originated from Gardenweb" and it has their Gardenweb name but the person doesn't exist. I tried the search function, the member list and google but nothing comes up. How could they send a message through Gardenweb if they're not really there? I hate to be rude but if I reply to the email, that person would have my email address so I'm leery |

I never did trade with that person or could find their GW member page. We had everything all set (address and all). I waited to get their package first (since the ground was still frozen in Ohio at the time)but I never heard back. So I really didn't worry over the whole afair and traded with another person who had a nice variety of plants. Hope that helps! |
Well I don't know about that since I just became a member today. But its hard to get started in the trading. What kind of plant are people looking for. I just bought my house it was built in 1919 and I dont know what I have if anything. But if not what would everyone suggest in getting started if I just went to the local garden center and just buy stuff and hope that people will want it?? |

Hi James, before you start to buy plants look around your area and see what kinds of natives you have available. If you live by the woods and have some woodland plants a lot of people would like to have those. Trees that others may not have access to, wait and see what pops up too. You never know what an old house like that will have to surprise you with. If you don't know what the different plants are there is a forum on GW called Name That Plant. There are so many people over there that can guess it in no time. If they don't know they will look it up or help you to. Good luck! Nancy |
James, Folks look for all kinds of plants..perennials, annuals, shrubs, rooted starts or cuttings, rooted roses or cuttings, cannas, tropicals, houseplants, native things...tulips. crocus, daffodils, glads, dahlias,...you name it and some of us will want it all. I've even been known to list things I don't have...but my best friend and neighbor has it...and I'm welcome to it. Occasionally there are plant starts for postage on the trade page. Another way to go, is to start many things from seeds. There are a few offers for 'free' seeds at the seed exchange...the receiver is to send a bubble envelope and return postage for it. You might want to go and edit your member information to include your state...I like to know right off the bat if the trader is in my state or near, as opposed to being clear across the country, due to postage costs. I see you have hostas on your want list...when I divide and move mine might you like starts of them for postage? If so, email me and we will go from there. In the meantime, build a wish list...and I may have other things to move and divide that I could include as well. Sue |
I've found you can't search for members on this daggone forum. You'll have MUCH better luck going to Google and putting in their GW name and the word "gardenweb" in Google's search and you'll find them! |
At the bottom of the forum page, there is a link "Member Services", click there and you will get a list of options. One of those options is "search for members". this will give you their member page/trade list page. You can also use the search feature on the forum page (about halfway down). This gives the postings from that member....but does not ever include (why, I still don't understand) any postings in the Exchange forums, but the other "conversation" forums seem to work. google will cover the exchange forums, at least the ones that are old enough to have been picked up there :) Hope this helps some. |

James, some of us more experienced gardeners have full gardens, so we trade for non-plant items, like movies, crafts, birdhouses, books, anything we can use in our lives. So if you don't have plants to trade, see what non-plant items you might have to swap. Put them on your trade list. I love trading for useful non-plant items. I just don't have room for more plants right now. Chemocurl came to visit me a couple of years ago, and she brought me my favorite garden tool--a brand new Fiskars unbreakable, lifetime guaranteed, all metal shovel. She got it cheap at an auction just for me, with the tags still on it. And I can pry an oak tree outta the ground with it and not break it! LOL Also, if you haven't already, check your local Freecycle.org group. They're springing up all over the place. It's a group where people just give away stuff--no trading, buying or selling. It must be free, no strings attached. I give away lots of plants on Freecyle. And once a non-gardener gave me a nice Rubbermaid composter on wheels that was in the backyard when she moved into her home. Good luck to you, James. NancyAnn |
James, may I suggest sending the money orders you promise for the plants that people send you. Several weeks and still waiting - you've conveniently dropped off the face of the earth. Not a good start. |

I usually start a class on a particular global issue with some charts with country rankings. I have noticed that students like to compare countries and that it engages them in critical thinking. If the issue is health for example, I would ask the students whether they know "what is the average life span in the world," "which countries are at the top, which ones are at the bottom," etc. The students make guesses and then I show them the actual data. We talk about what we see on the chart for a few minutes. Then, I continue in the same way with health spending, fertility rates, disease prevalence, etc. The idea is to engage the students in thinking about these issues and then to use factual information.
Besides showing the numbers, I also ask follow-up questions. For example, "why do you think the U.S. spends more money on healthcare than any other country?" or "do you think that spending translates into better health care outcomes?" or "Why are fertility rates in poor countries so much higher than in the rich countries?" etc. Often the class discussion takes a new path as students become engaged by something else they see on the charts. I let them explore on their own and only guide the discussion to revolve around the factual information.
An additional benefit is that the students become more comfortable interpreting numbers and work with statistics. Also, they learn what data are available and from what institutions. Often, the students are not aware that such information is available and can be used in analyses and in their own term papers.

Most Embarressing Moments at Disney
My children reminded me of this the other day while we were talking to family members about our last vacation at WDW in June of 2005. We went with my best friend's family and had one of the best vacations we've ever had. On our last day (8th day) we went to Epcot. It was very hot that day and the park was crowded. Around 3:00 we had done everything we wanted to do and the lines were very long and no more fast passes were being given out. Because we had dinner reservations at 5:00 we did not want to go back to our resort. We decided to ride the monorail. At least it would be air conditioned and we could get off our feet for awhile. After about an hour and taking a little nap we got off and headed back to the Epcot entance gate. I was walking in a very exausted trance directly behind my husband not paying much attention to where he was going. To my surprise and to the surprise of 3 other men, I had followed my husband right into the men's room and right up to the urinal. I was so shocked, I just started screaming. It took a few seconds to even realize where I was. My husband had to push me back out the door. My children had watched me walk into the bathroom and were on the ground laughing by the time I came back out. They will never let me live it down.
I'm glad you put clothes on

That's funny!!! Wow, you must have been tired.
My embarrassing moment is not nearly as entertaining. When my son was younger, he would want to ride the rides but had terrible anxiety over them. There was a very bad instance where he threw up in the line for Test Track. He threw up all over my sandals and I'm sure a few other people got wet! I was mortified. I'm sure they all thought I was a terrible parent for bringing a sick child to the park, but really, he was just nervous.

Too Funny!!
My most embarrasing moment was our first trip to WDW with our fiesty little
3 and half year old DD! She just thought she was such a big girl in her Cinderella dress and she was determined to ride DUMBO ALONE!!! Well we all know that can not happen and when I tried to get in with her she started pointing and yelling "GET IN YOUR OWN DUMBO"...Then she tried to kick me and told me to get out of her DUMBO!!!! AH!!! Not my little peanut!!! DH caught it all on tape!!! While I was pretty embarrased and aggrevated with my little angel at the time...Now I look back and watch the video and it is hilarious!!! She finally realized I had to ride with her and we had a wonderful flight!! Kids will do that too you sometimes....

I really don't remember what I did when I came out of the bathroom. I felt like I dreamed it. It didn't seem to bother the other men. They didn't stop what ever they were doing.

My most embarassing moment happened at Typhoon Lagoon in 2005. Here's a copy from my blog about it:
I recently returned from a well deserved vacation. On my last day, we decided to go to a water park. I had never been to one before and I looked forward to the adreniline rush and refreshment of large pools of water. Like most everything else in my life, I decided that I would just jump right in. I headed right to the big slide. They called it "Humunga Cowabunga" and I was certain I would soon know why. As we headed toward the top, we passed the large crowd of people who waited at the bottom for their children or spouses. I assumed it was a sort of huddle of shame. The only reason to wait at the bottom was because you were too pansy to go down the slide. I'm fairly certain that it gave me a marginal ego boost to pass them as I headed for the stairs. At the top of the slide, I took note of everything I should do. First, you sit in the slide, second you wait for the light to turn green and you cross your ankles while pulling yourself from the flat top down the slide which then promptly dropped about three stories, resulting in a 60mph plummet to the bottom. The sliders before me screamed like they were taking a beating while they slid to the bottom. As I started my slide, ankles crossed, I refused to scream. Instead I closed my eyes and thought "Dear God, what about this is supposed to be fun? It hurts like hell and at some point I'll have to come to a stop.. I forsee that being an excruciating experience." Right about then my legs accidently uncrossed resulting in a record breaking wedgie. As I got to the bottom, I vowed to never do it again. I stood up and was so busy pulling my swimsuit out of my bum, I failed to notice that my top fell down. The large crowd at the bottom didn't. Last edited by cleo; 04-13-2007 at 12:42 PM.

Okay...this is not on par with walking into the men's room or losing my top...but I was red in the face over it!
We were leaving Epcot via the monorail and heading up the platform. My middle son was holding on to a stuffed Pluto he had gotten that day. As we approached the top of the landing he was holding it over the railing to the "bush area" that was unreachable down at the bottom. I figured we were in TROUBLE if he dropped his new "best friend" down so I told him to let me hold it. Of course, this makes him cry *big bad mommy takes away his toy*. So a CM who was sweeping the area asks him what is wrong and he tells him (he is 4 at the time) that his mom stole his " pavorite prend" (aka favorite friend). Well, I start to explain that I didn't want him to drop it by demonstrating holding it over the railing...and I bet you would never be able to guess what happened? HA HA..I dropped the stuffed Pluto down into the bush area. Lucky for us the CM was able to get some sort of grabber arm thing and pull it out. When he pulled it out he handed it to DS and told him to keep it safe! Especially from his mom. HA HA HA. Ds didn't hold him out over the railings anymore. My family STILL makes fun of me for that and it was YEARS ago!

I've never gone on a behind the scenes tour, but I've always been curious as to what we don't see, just the same.
A few trips back, we had walked through the castle and off to the right was Bert and some penguins. While our son was in line for autographs and photographs, I noticed a door just opposite that would lead, I presumed, behind Snow White and Pooh. I opened the door and walking down a hallway was Mary Poppins, coming to join Bert. I don't know who was more surprised--she or I. I mumbled something like "I was just curious as to what was back here." and quickly closed the door. When she came out a second later, she looked at me with a smile on her face but not in her voice, and said, "Please do not EVER do that again." To this day, we speak of the day that I was fussed at by Mary Poppins.

It was 2004, I had just graduated high school and went with my friend Jenise and her family. It was POURING in MGM. It just started out of nowhere. Everyone was standing on the sides of sunset boulevard, huddling in stores or under their canopies to wait it out. Jenise and I are walking straight down the middle yelling "Panchos are for wimps! Rain doesn't bite! come on people!" thinking we were so cool.
I look down, turn to Jenise and say "uh... I forgot I'm wearing white shorts." Yes. White shorts. Pink underwear. Miss "Im too cool" (thats me) was parading down sunset boulevard, letting everyone see her panties. I was HORRIFIED. And at that point, there was nothing i could do about it. I didn't have a thing to cover myself up. See through shorts for the next like 2 hours until they dried up. ugh!

This past May we took our 1st family trip to WDW. We went to AK on Mother's Day. It was hot and quite busy by the afternoon. We were gonna leave when I talked dh into letting ds and I go on EE one last time...actually I told him it was Mother's Day and I wanted to ride it one more time before we left for the day whether he liked it or not -LOL!! So we walk over go to the FP area so dh could sit in the shade with dd and my ds and I took off for the entrance! My ds ran off and therefore I followed as fast as I could run....and tripped on the bumpy ground and flew head first through the air and landed smack face down/belly down/knees down on the ground as if sliding into home plate! Before I knew what had happened there was like 3 CM's and othe guests there asking me if I was ok. Trying to regain my dignity I stood up and hobbled over to my ds who was standing there staring at me, looking mortified. I insisted I was ok and just wanted to get on EE before the line got longer. Boy did my one knee hurt the next coupole of days..other than that I was no worse for the waear. Upon exiting EE my dh told me he watched it all from the FP area and was laughing when he saw me "disappear" What a trip

OMG too funny all of these stories! Last August my family and I were in MGM at The muppetvision 3D , I think that is the one sponsored by Kodak? Anyway there is a 10-12 minute intro with music and all sorts of pictures and things shown on all the TV's while you're waiting. Well DS4 decides he can't handle the waiting anymore and screams "ENOUGH WITH THE"@#$%^*^" PICTURES ALREADY!!

Illinois Amber Alert
Illinois Employer Report Form
A: The Personnel Rules state that a former certified employee who resigned or terminated in good standing may be reinstated to a position in the class to which the employee was assigned prior to resignation, or to a position in any other position class for which the employee is qualified. Reinstatement is a means of employment, it is not a guarantee of employment.
In order to be considered for employment via reinstatement, you must apply to agencies for posted vacancies.
A: In 1997, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that military veterans shall receive absolute hiring preference over non-veterans in the same grade category. Absolute Veterans Preference refers to two aspects of the hiring process. First, preference points are awarded to the passing scores of veterans when they apply for open competitive grades. The points vary depending on the nature of the military service and the status of the veteran.
Second, when an agency hires from the open competitive eligibility list, it must consider veteran applicants before non-veterans.
A: If you are fluent in both English and Spanish, orally and written, you should indicate "SS" for Spanish speaking in the box marked Option (next to the positions title) on the front page of the CMS 100 Employment Application.
If your bilingual skill is in another language other than Spanish, please contact CMS at (217) 524-1321 for the appropriate option code.
Please note: If you are selected to be interviewed at DCFS for a bilingual position, your bilingual skills will be tested. Failure to pass the bilingual certification for a bilingual position will result in not being selected for that position. We encourage bilingual candidates to apply for both the bilingual and non-bilingual option.

Gold Capped: The basics of selling glyphs {WoW}
Jun 16th 2010 10:40PM This isn't true. You don't have to follow these rules to make money off of glyphs. You won't make anywhere near as much (I average 200-400g a weekend)
I make 20 glyphs of each type. Yeah, its a pain. I try to maintain that 20. At first, just start with one class. Pick a price, and stick with it. 8g? 7g? 10g? Look at your server and pick something reasonable.
List the bid and the buyout the same. And list away. Don't worry about undercutting. Just list. Are you going to miss out on some? Yep. Are you still going to make money? Yep. Are you going to get hate mail from other scribes? Yep. Are other scribes going to buy out stacks of your glyphs at a time? Yep.
Make more. 20 at a time. Keep them on the AH. Lazy way to make money if you are doing more then one profession/AH game.

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The Lord told me to sing this song of sorrow for two princes of Israel: | 1 "Take up a lament concerning the princes of Israel |
2 What a lioness your mother was! She raised her cubs among the fierce male lions. | 2 and say: " 'What a lioness was your mother among the lions! She lay down among the young lions and reared her cubs. |
3 She raised a cub and taught him to hunt; he learned to eat people. | 3 She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he devoured men. |
4 The nations heard about him and trapped him in a pit. With hooks they dragged him off to Egypt. | 4 The nations heard about him, and he was trapped in their pit. They led him with hooks to the land of Egypt. |
5 She waited until she saw all hope was gone. Then she raised another of her cubs, and he grew into a fierce lion. | 5 " 'When she saw her hope unfulfilled, her expectation gone, she took another of her cubs and made him a strong lion. |
6 When he was full-grown, he prowled with the other lions. He too learned to hunt and eat people. | 6 He prowled among the lions, for he was now a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he devoured men. |
7 He wrecked forts, he ruined towns. The people of the land were terrified every time he roared. | 7 He broke down their strongholds and devastated their towns. The land and all who were in it were terrified by his roaring. |
8 The nations gathered to fight him; people came from everywhere. They spread their hunting nets and caught him in their trap. | 8 Then the nations came against him, those from regions round about. They spread their net for him, and he was trapped in their pit. |
9 They put him in a cage and took him to the king of Babylonia. They kept him under guard, so that his roar would never be heard again on the hills of Israel. | 9 With hooks they pulled him into a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon. They put him in prison, so his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel. |
10 Your mother was like a grapevine planted near a stream. Because there was plenty of water, the vine was covered with leaves and fruit. | 10 " 'Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of abundant water. |
11 Its branches were strong and grew to be royal scepters. The vine grew tall enough to reach the clouds; everyone saw how leafy and tall it was. | 11 Its branches were strong, fit for a ruler's scepter. It towered high above the thick foliage, conspicuous for its height and for its many branches. |
12 But angry hands pulled it up by the roots and threw it to the ground. The east wind dried up its fruit. Its branches were broken off; they dried up and were burned. | 12 But it was uprooted in fury and thrown to the ground. The east wind made it shrivel, it was stripped of its fruit; its strong branches withered and fire consumed them. |
13 Now it is planted in the desert, in a dry and waterless land. | 13 Now it is planted in the desert, in a dry and thirsty land. |
14 The stem of the vine caught fire; fire burned up its branches and fruit. The branches will never again be strong, will never be royal scepters. This is a song of sorrow; it has been sung again and again. | 14 Fire spread from one of its main branches and consumed its fruit. No strong branch is left on it fit for a ruler's scepter.' This is a lament and is to be used as a lament." |

The Composers
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
The works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are generally held to mark the peak of Viennese Classicism. As a composer who excelled in every genre, he can be rightly regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music.
Born on 27 January 1756 in Salzburg, Austria, Wolfgang received his musical education from his father, Leopold and quickly showed aptitude, playing his sister's piano pieces at the age of four and composing from the age of five. Leopold, fully aware of the remarkable talents of Wolfgang and his sister, Nannerl, took the family around Europe, showcasing his children before Kings and Queens.
Having toured as a child prodigy for ten years and come into contact with all manner of musical styles and practices, including a meeting with J C Bach in London, Mozart began his adult musical career in Salzburg in 1773 in the employ of the Archbishop.
Although the greater part of his job was to compose church music, the young Mozart quickly became the chief composer of instrumental and vocal music in Salzburg and gradually became more dissatisfied with his position. Matters came to a head in 1781 when Mozart realised he could make a living as a freelance musician in Vienna. By the end of 1781, having obtained a release from his employment, he was established as the greatest keyboard player in the Austrian capital.
Mozart's finest works date from the ten years he spent in Vienna, the last years of his tragically short life. His reputation as a composer was immediately established with the opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail, and shortly after he married Constanze Weber. Their marriage appears to have a happy one, though both were financially naive.
The busiest years were between 1784 and 1788, in a period of financial security. Mozart gave numerous subscription concerts, for which he composed a dozen excellent piano concerti, in addition to private concerts for the local nobility. In 1784 Mozart also became a freemason at a lodge in Vienna and often composed music for meetings, most notably the Mauerische Trauermusik.
Opera, however, was still Mozart's priority and he scored great successes in Vienna and Prague with Le nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni. These were followed in the final two years of his life by three more operatic masterpieces: Così fan Tutte, La Clemenza di Tito and Die Zauberflöte.
After the death of Leopold in May 1787 and a temporary lull in creative activity, Mozart began to give fewer concerts. His finances suffered as a result and from mid-1788 he was often in debt, forced to rely on loans from friends. However, the Mozarts never had to do without servants or any other luxuries of their class.
Mozart's work was still attracting international interest and was widely published. He was working on a Requiem commission when he died on 5 December 1791 from rheumatic inflammatory fever, but there is no evidence that this was in any way a burden on him as is sometimes suggested. Nor is there any evidence that he was poisoned, by Salieri or anybody else. He was buried in a common grave, as was the usual custom at the time, on a calm, mild day (not the snowy, stormy day of legend).
Mozart's reputation continued to spread after his death with Breitkopf & Härtel releasing a 'collected edition' of Mozart's works as early as 1798. In 1862, Köchel released his thematic catalogue of Mozart's works (works in Mozart's catalogue are thus prefixed by the letter K) prompting Breitkopf to publish a 'complete edition' between 1877 and 1883. His popularity has, if anything, grown to new heights in recent times with the majority of his works occupying prominent places in the repertory.
There is some doubt that the Sinfonia Concertante in E flat K. 297b is by Mozart. References to such a piece, for flute, oboe, basson and horn, exist in Mozart's letters, written for a performance at the Concert Spirtuel in Paris. However, the piece was suppressed by the director Joseph Legros and lost.
The present work was discovered in the nineteenth century and is for a different combination of oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn. It may be an arrangment of Mozart's original or a completely different piece.
Whatever its origins, the work is a charming ensemble piece with some wonderful woodwind writing. The highlight is perhaps the finale, a set of variations on an andantino theme related to the first movement.

History of ArtsWave
ArtsWave began as the Cincinnati Institute of Fine Arts, founded in 1927 by Mr. & Mrs. Charles P. and Anna Sinton Taft. The Tafts believed that Cincinnati could truly distinguish itself through a deep investment in its cultural assets, and the original Institute's mission was "to further the musical and artistic education and culture for the people of Cincinnati." Included was a $1 million endowment for the arts, contingent on raising $2.5 million in matching funds from the community. The people of Cincinnati responded and the endowment was created.
In 1949, in response to the financial difficulties of some local arts organizations, and the continued erosion of endowment funds, the Cincinnati Institute of Fine Arts established the Fine Arts Fund as an annual, community-wide campaign in support of four local arts organizations:
- Cincinnati Art Museum
- Cincinnati Opera
- Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
- Taft Museum
This initial campaign surpassed its fundraising goals, helping to establish the Fund's core mission: that of ensuring the financial health of its four constituent organizations.
Due largely to an increased commitment of support from the corporate community, in 1978 the Fund was able to expand its support of Cincinnati's artistic community in two ways. Firstly, four additional organizations were invited to join the Fund:
- Cincinnati Ballet
- Contemporary Arts Center
- Playhouse in the Park
- May Festival
Secondly, the Fund established a "Projects Pool" to provide special one-time grants to other, smaller arts organizations in the region.
In 1995, the Fund again increased its support of Cincinnati's emerging and established smaller arts organizations. The Arts Services Office was established to assist in fostering relationships within the Cincinnati arts community through programs and resources for boards and volunteers. The Arts Services Office also operates several nationally-recognized programs, including a volunteer pool to match volunteers with arts clients, and training and tools for board members.
For 86 years, the Fine Arts Fund provided vital support for the greater Cincinnati arts community. During this period, the Fund evolved several times in response to changing economic and cultural conditions. Currently, the organization is in the process of transforming its structure, goals, strategies, and name to meet a new mission: to be a leader and regional catalyst that works to advance the vitality and vibrancy of Greater Cincinnati by mobilizing the creative energy of the entire community. The Fine Arts Fund — now known as ArtsWave — works toward these larger goals.

Course Designers
The pairing of Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley brings together two individuals with a common passion for the game of golf. The Schmidt-Curley partnership dates back to 1984.
The significant accomplishments of the Landmark Land Company, developers of world-class properties, are PGA WEST, the La Quinta Hotel Golf Club and Kiawah Island.
In 1990, Lee Schmidt left Landmark to become Senior Design Associate for Jack Nicklaus. At that time, Brian Curley became Director of Design and Construction for Landmark Golf Company. In late 1997, Brian bought the Design Division of Landmark Golf Company and reunited with Lee.
The formation of Schmidt-Curley combines two friends and seasoned professionals with a strong desire to continue creating courses that will stand the test of time. Schmidt-Curley projects span from California to Arizona, Las Vegas to China, Louisiana to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Their Philosophy is to design a course that is demanding, but at the same time beautiful and enjoyable. A course that stirs the senses and elevates the players' appreciation of the land and his own game.
As you will see, Canoa Ranch will mimic Lee and Brian's effort to provide the finest product possible. From the panoramic views of Elephant Head to the beauty of Green Valley, Canoa Ranch is enjoyable, beautiful and memorable.
Golf Digest World Rankings
The June 2001 issue of Golf Digest featured the top courses around the world.
In China, the top 3 courses all have ties to Schmidt-Curley.The #1 and #3-ranked courses are Spring City Resort in Kunming and Chungshan Hot Springs, both courses designed by Lee while he was with Jack Nicklaus. The #2-ranked course, the Faldo Course at Mission Hills, was designed by Brian with Nick Faldo. On the list at #10 is Agile Country Club, a recent Schmidt-Curley design.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — By a vote of 10 to 4, the City Council on Monday overrode Mayor Angel Taveras' veto of an ordinance to reduce property taxes for the city's nonresident landlords, Council President Michael A. Solomon said.
Solomon opposed the override, as did Seth Yurdin, David A. Salvatore and Samuel D. Zurier, Solomon said. Michael J. Correia was absent.
"I'm a little disappointed," Solomon said. "It's over a $6-million shortfall. That money has to be found somewhere."
The ordinance reduces, starting next year, the real estate tax rate on non-owner-occupied residential buildings from 175 percent of the owner-occupied rate to 160 percent of the owner-occupied rate.
Taveras released a statement after the override was announced:
"Mark my words: the Providence City Council just voted to increase taxes for the majority of homeowners in Providence, while renters are unlikely to see any benefit. There was no need for this ordinance, as the Council could have addressed concerns about tax rates during the budgeting process. Homeowners in our cities and towns are already feeling squeezed. We should not be passing any laws that could add to their burden."
In his veto message, Taveras had cited estimates by the city's internal auditor that the ordinance could cost the city about $6.6 million in revenue next year. The money would most likely be recouped by raising taxes on owner-occupied houses, Taveras had said.

Distinguished Professor Marlene Belfort Named to Key NIH Advisory Panel
Marlene Belfort of The RNA Institute and Department of Biological Sciences. |
ALBANY, N.Y. (June 30, 2014) — Distinguished Professor Marlene Belfort, renowned for her groundbreaking research in the field of genetics and biochemistry as well as her passionate guidance of young scientists, has been appointed to a major advisory panel of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Belfort is one of nine individuals from prestigious research institutions nationwide to be added to the NIH Council of Councils, whose 27 members advise and make recommendations to NIH's director on important areas of emerging scientific opportunities, rising public health challenges, and knowledge gaps which deserve special emphasis, strategic planning or coordination.
Belfort, who joined UAlbany's Department of Biological Sciences in 1985 and became an affiliated faculty member with The RNA Institute in 2011, has received a host of prestigious honors, most notably her election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1999. She was appointed a Distinguished Professor, the highest academic rank in the State University of New York system, in 2003.
Of particular significance to Belfort, however, is the award she received in 2002 for dedicated mentoring from the American Society for Microbiology. The prize recognized her passionate guidance and fostering of young scientists.
Her major discoveries in the field of genetics involve the study of organisms' hereditary information encoded in DNA and RNA. Belfort's work provided new insights into genome organization and the role of introns, mobile elements, and RNA biology in the evolution of life.
She has served on and chaired prestigious committees for such organizations as the NIH and the National Academy of Sciences. Her term on the Council of Councils runs through Oct. 31, 2016.
Read here the full NIH announcement on its new Council of Councils appointments.

Go Green, Rambo-Style: Shoot Up Your Neighborhood with Some Flower Shells
These special shotgun shells take the green revolution to the next level. If planting stuff the traditional way is too boring for you, then you might want to shoot up gardens instead with Flower Shells as your ammo. You could also pack a couple of seed bombs that you can toss when you're out of shells.
The Flower Shells were thought up by developer Per Cromwell of Studio Total. Unlike Flower Grenades, Flower Shells actually contain gunpowder so you can blast them as you would blast real bullets with your shotgun. Each shell contains a reduced amount of gunpowder and is filled with flower seeds. Shoot the shells into patches of dirt or grass with it and you'll see daisies, sunflowers, and meadow flowers blossoming in those spots in a matter of weeks.
The Flower Shells are currently up for funding on Indiegogo, where a pledge of $50(USD) will get you a set of four shells. Shotgun sold separately.

Why the world has to have so many different ways to measure we may never know. But if you are one of those who really has to convert kilograms to pounds or pounds to kilograms, then Kilogram Converter is for you!
Kilogram Converter is a compact utility which allows you to convert from kilograms to pounds and vica versa. Kilogram Converter takes the confusion out of converting between kilograms and pounds by allowing the user to visually see the relationships between the two systems as they use a slider bar up and down. For those who wish to convert an exact weight, Kilogram Converter comes equiped with a mechanism to allow you to enter in the figures.
Word Sorter is a handy little tool that enables the user to extract a word list from any given text. The list can be extracted alphabetically, showing each case of the word found in the text, or by word frequency, beginning with the least, and ending with the most used word.
Although many things such as emotion and thought may be difficult to measure, some things are much easier to quantitize. Measurement Converter aids in converting one measurement to another similar measurement. Why people care so much about measurements and conversions still remain a mystery to one such as myself.
Binary Adder is a simple solution for those seeking a quick and easy way to perform basic operations on binary numbers. It is a perfect homework companion to help you check your answers. Binary adder allows you to change back and forth between several bases as well.

Phyllo-Wrapped Figs with Prosciutto and Stilton
Bon Appétit | December 2002
The Gatehouse Restaurant, Providence, RI
Makes 8 servings
This is terrific made with fresh figs when they're in season. But dried ones, which are readily available year-round, work well, too.
- 16 teaspoons Stilton cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 32 dried black Mission figs
- 4 6x4-inch thin prosciutto slices, cut lengthwise in half
- 8 sheets fresh phyllo pastry or frozen, thawed
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups ruby Port
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 4 1/2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
Form 2 teaspoons cheese into 1-inch-long log. Place 4 dried figs around cheese and press gently to adhere. Wrap 1 prosciutto strip around fig bundle. Repeat with remaining cheese, figs, and prosciutto.
Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface (keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and damp towel). Brush phyllo lightly with melted butter. Top with second phyllo sheet; brush with butter. Repeat with 2 more phyllo sheets. Cut stacked phyllo sheets into four 6-inch squares (discard phyllo trimmings). Place 1 fig bundle in center of 1 phyllo square stack. Bring all edges of phyllo square up toward center and squeeze firmly at top, forming pouch and enclosing fig bundle completely. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, melted butter, and fig bundles, forming a total of 8 pouches. Brush outside of phyllo pouches with remaining melted butter. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake pouches until golden, about 17 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring Port, balsamic vinegar, and sugar to boil in medium saucepan. Boil until mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 15 minutes.
While Port mixture is being reduced, boil cream and pine nuts in another medium saucepan until reduced to 1 cup, about 8 minutes. Remove cream sauce from heat; season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
Spoon 2 tablespoons cream sauce onto each of 8 plates. Place 1 phyllo pouch atop sauce. Drizzle each lightly with Port sauce and serve.

There was something sweet about falling in love and singing about it in the rain, atop a hill, on a rooftop or with a chorus of singers behind you. Wouldn't it be wonderful, I thought, if true love made a person jump out of bed, glow like the rising sun and break out in song and dance?
This notion which I nurtured led to my adolescent friends and I putting on several musicals (like "The Little Rascals") in the basement of one of our friends. Naturally, it was about getting the attention of the local girls.
We rehearsed steps like the Temptations, had spotlight performances imitating James Brown and Little Stevie Wonder. We even had a warm-up act before we came out!
Parents and others children attended our little concerts as they admired our efforts, enjoyed our refreshments and wanted to know what we could do for an encore. This was all before the Jackson Five burst on the musical scene in late 1969 and took dance and pop music to a whole new level.
Like everyone else I became an admirer of their music and dance which resembled the choreographed musicals I watched and loved on TV. Besides, we moved the following year from Atlanta to Decatur, Ga., where a whole new world of music was awaiting me.
That's right. I joined the high school chorus! This turned out to be my favorite class in high school. It combined the most beautiful, talented sophomore, junior and senior females in high school with the musicals I grew up loving in my childhood! We sang those show tunes and a few popular songs, not unlike the musical TV show "Glee," only with far less talent and drama.
We had a bubbly music teacher named Nancy Stidham, the only teacher whose name I can remember four decades later. She was fair, funny, tough and talented in how she worked with each student to bring our voices together. In my first year of musical competition we received the highest attainable rating, "Superior."
The following year our teacher introduced us to a new musical, "Jesus Christ — Superstar." Every time we rehearsed that song I felt sick to my stomach. After about two weeks of rehearsals I found the courage to approach Mrs. Stidham in class and whisper I could not sing this song.
As the class was singing it, she softly asked me why. I explained that it did not feel right. It was the lyrics. The words were offensive to me. She stopped the class, asked the senior students to come up one at a time and asked if they felt this song was sacrilegious. I watched as they talked.
Most agreed that the song was sacrilegious but several had no problem singing it anyway. I braced myself for her decision. She quickly told the class to put that sheet music away. We would not be singing it. That made her my favorite teacher of all time. It also gave me, a relatively quiet student, more respect with my musical peers.
More than that, my decision to take a stand on the music I chose to sing brought me in touch with my own spiritual yearning to please God and to seek out music that did more than praise the virtues of love but which praises God as the source of love who first loved me.
Psalm 33:1 says, "Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. — New International Version.
When a person loves God and is in love with God, they are inspired to sing of His goodness because that is what people in love do — they sing!
At Ephesians 5:19 Paul wrote to one Christian congregation to be "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord."
Music is a wonderful gift from God. If you listen, you can find it almost anywhere in nature. Birds sing, many animals sing, even the angels in heaven sing. According to Childrenmusicworkshop.com, early musical training helps develop brain areas involved in reasoning.
It also enhances teamwork skills and discipline. How? Well, in order for an orchestra to sound good, all players must work harmoniously towards a single goal — the performance. They must commit to learning music, practicing and attending rehearsals.
In music, you learn a mistake is a mistake; the instrument is in tune or not, the notes are well played or not. It is only by much hard work that a successful performance is possible. Through a study of music, students learn the value of sustained effort to achieve excellence and the rewards of hard work. This also produces greater self-esteem.
When it comes to singing spiritual praise to the One living and true God, all of these principles come into play. After all, life may not be a musical, but thanks to God, we have music to enrich our lives.
As art historian Anita Brookner once said, "Always let them think of you as singing and dancing."

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Posted By: Susan HendersonDate: Sunday, 24 January 1999, at 6:52 a.m.
In Response To: News from the medical world regarding cancer. (Stephen)
I'm all for spreading the good news, but most people don't want to hear it.
I am babysitting children whose mother is an MD and knows nothing about nutrition. I have told her about the diet, but she went on the defensive. I am most certain that these children are type O's. I can see these children change right before my eyes after they have eaten a meal. It's a shame to see these children wasted all the time when a lot of their behavoir could be corrected through diet changes. It's funny, a lot of my friends are in the medical field and really just don't want to here about this diet.
I wonder if there has been any studies on future generations and diet? For instance, how is our diet affecting our children-- are we making them more sensitive to what they eat and more prone to disease? I would think most people would see the beauty of this diet, if they knew they could help their children and their children's children. But I just don't think most people care like they say they do.
I won't give up telling people about the diet, because I know it works, and I have helped a few people with making the necessary changes. Though it's not just telling them about the diet--it's also educating them on where to buy organic foods and such.
Sorry for babbling, Susan

الكتاب المقدس
راعوث |
04 |
Ruth The Book of - was originally a part of the Book of Judges, but it now forms one of the
twenty-four separate books of the Hebrew Bible.
The history it contains refers to a period perhaps about one hundred and twenty-six years before the
birth of David. It gives (1) an account of Naomi's going to Moab with her husband, Elimelech, and
of her subsequent return to Bethlehem with her daughter-in-law; (2) the marriage of Boaz and Ruth;
and (3) the birth of Obed, of whom David sprang.
The author of this book was probably Samuel, according to Jewish tradition.
"Brief as this book is, and simple as is its story, it is remarkably rich in examples of faith, patience,
industry, and kindness, nor less so in indications of the care which God takes of those who put their
trust in him."

Elana Fishman: Editor By Day, Fit-And-Flare Skirt Savante...Also By Day
Digital Intern
Working every day with Senior Digital Editor Elana Fishman in my peripheral vision, I can't help but notice two key things about her. The first is her constantly flawless posture (seriously—it's like her spine is tethered to an invisible ruler). The second is what often adorns her perfectly poised body: covetable fit-and-flare skirts by the thousands. Okay..maybe not thousands, but she's got to own at least hundreds of those things.
After trying to limit my "I love your skirt" compliments to two a week became not enough, I decided the matter required further investigation and asked Elana to tell me a bit more about her wardrobe staple. Click through the slideshow for her comments, as well as a few of her favorite fit-and-flare picks.

40 Compliments That Rappers Have Given Nas Over The Years
"When Nas came out, there was no higher rapper in the world than Nas. The flow, Illmatic, changed the whole game. Nas is the only emcee from my generation, maybe Rakim but that was the generation before me, but Nas for my generation was the most respected emcee in any genre of rap. He could do a song with Puffy or Wu-Tang, the same thing." —Kanye West

text: I'm curious if it's possible to sell WDW park tickets that I already have. My family recently purchased 10 day park hoppers that don't expire so that we would be set up for future trips however there is now a strong possibility that I will be taking a job with the Disney Company and will be issued a silver pass so I won't need the tickets. I'm guessing that there is a secondary market for things like this but I was curious if anyone had any suggestions of what the best way to go about this is.

Over 100 years ago, finishing touches were being added to the ship itself at the Queen's Island slipway and now a different kind of project is underway as builders work tirelessly to finish the structure commemorating it.
The six-storey construction in the derelict shipyard where Titanic was put together is, at 90ft, the same height as the ill-fated liner's bow and among the details included inside is an impressive replica of its grand staircase.
Titanic Belfast has, like the ship, taken three years to build and is on course to open on schedule on 31 March - just ahead of the April centenary of its maiden voyage.
"It's a great feeling to see the building as visitors will see it and to find that its content, which looked great on paper, looks even better in reality," chief executive Tim Husbands said.
It is hoped 425,000 people will be attracted to what operators insist is an experience, rather than a museum.
Visitors to Titanic Belfast will be taken on a journey through a series of galleries devoted to different aspects of the ship's tragic story - from Boomtown Belfast and how the thriving industrial port city was chosen as the birthplace of the world's biggest liner, through a recreation of Harland and Wolff, and to the triumphant launch.
Titanic belongs to Belfast. I'm very pleased that the city which gave Titanic to the world will now be able to welcome the world to Titanic Belfast.Robert Ballard, oceanographer who discovered the Titanic wreck in 1985
Titanic belongs to Belfast. I'm very pleased that the city which gave Titanic to the world will now be able to welcome the world to Titanic Belfast.
Robert Ballard, oceanographer who discovered the Titanic wreck in 1985
But as the recounting of events moves to the fateful night of the sinking in 1912, the lights dim and the temperature falls for the telling of haunting survivor accounts while the fates of the 1,522 victims cover the walls.
The story doesn't end there though and visitors can look at the findings of British and American inquiries into the shipping disaster and the myths and legends surrounding it over the last 100 years.
The Titanic Below gallery also looks at the liner's final resting place two-and-a-half miles below the Atlantic, with video footage shown on a screen below the glass floor and live streaming from ongoing dive missions.
As well as the Titanic Belfast opening, the centenary is also set to be marked with one of the world's largest light shows projected onto the building, the opening of a memorial garden at City Hall, and an MTV slipway gig.
Gallery 1: Boomtown Belfast
Visitors step back into Edwardian Belfast to set the context for the birth of the Titanic - and her sister ships - and appreciate the achievement they represented, gaining insights into the wealth, confidence and industrial might of the city in the 1900s. Visitors will walk through Belfast's 'streets' towards Queen's Island, eventually passing through a set of original Harland & Wolff gates into the yard itself.
Gallery 2: The Arrol Gantry and Shipyard Ride
Visitors take a journey in a metal elevator up the Arrol Gantry, the enormous steel structure built to facilitate the construction of Titanic and her sister ships, Olympic and Britannic. They then join Harland & Wolff's workers on a 'shipyard ride'. Believed to be the first of its kind, the ride is a five-minute journey in a six-seater car that rotates and moves up and down along a circuit - accompanied by CGI, audio and special effects. Full-size replicas, including riveting machines and Titanic's rudder, give a scale perspective into working life in the shipyard.
Gallery 3: The Launch of Titanic
Visitors have a view down the slips where the momentous launch of the Titanic took place, using innovative glazing that transposes original imagery of Titanic's onto the glass, demonstrating the sheer scale of the vessel.
Gallery 4: The Fit-Out
Visitors learn of the skill and craftsmanship that went into Titanic, from the fitting of its enormous boilers and engines to the fine joinery and upholstery work of its linens, carpets and cabins. Experiencing the reality of the ship's interiors in a '3D cave' that recreates the engine rooms, third class saloons, first class corridors, grand staircase, a la carte restaurant and navigation bridge, visitors will be able to 'walk' the ship's length. They can also take in detailed, full-scale reconstructions of 1st, 2nd and 3rd class cabins.
Gallery 5: The Maiden Voyage
As Titanic leaves Belfast and then sets sail from Southampton on her maiden voyage, visitors can see the extraordinary photographs of Father Frank Browne - the young Irish Jesuit who was given a gift of a ticket to travel on Titanic from Southampton to Queenstown and photographed the journey. His images provide a unique chronicle of Titanic's first and only voyage.
Gallery 6: The Sinking
The atmosphere of the exhibition changes radically into a dramatic sensory experience, as visitors enter a darkened tunnel where the temperature, soundtrack and images all evoke the tragedy of Titanic's collision with an iceberg and subsequent sinking.
Visitors will sense the tragedy and the ending of the dream which led to Titanic's creation. They then move into an area where the narrative follows the stories of survivors and the 1,500 victims and the worldwide press coverage of the tragedy - with particular attention devoted to Belfast and to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where the bodies of some of Titanic's victims were buried.
Gallery 7: The Aftermath
A poignant wall of 400 life vests leads the way to interactive visual and audio displays centred round a 25ft replica of a Titanic lifeboat to mark the aftermath of the sinking, the British and American inquiries into the disaster and the ongoing question of whom - if anyone - was to blame, as well as the subsequent important changes to safety at sea legislation. Visitors can also explore Titanic's passenger and crew database and follow the parallel lives of her sister ships, Olympic and Britannic, and the story of Harland & Wolff after the sinking.
Gallery 8: Myths and Legends
After the disaster, Titanic's story fragments as legends and cultural representations of the ship become increasingly different from the reality. An interactive table enables visitors to explore some of the films, books, plays and poetry which Titanic has inspired. The myths and legends that surround the ship are also examined, and in many cases debunked. To contrast the fictional Titanic with the real ship, visitors are also introduced to the difficulties of locating Titanic's wreck, two-and-a-half miles below the surface of the North Atlantic.
Gallery 9: Titanic Beneath
The culmination of the visitors' journey takes them to meet Dr Robert Ballard and explore with him the wreck of the Titanic. Viewing huge projection screens, they feel as if they are flying over the wreck in a submersible and then descend to appreciate a bird's eye view of the wreck - made from a mosaic of thousands of Ballard's photographs - which brings you as close as is possible to walking the deck of the ship as she lies on the ocean floor. As the visitors' view narrows down, they are presented with the opportunity to explore Titanic's debris field and look at some of the thousands of items which lie around the wreck - ranging from huge boilers to small personal items which remind us once again of the scale of human loss which the disaster represents.
Visitors are left with a lasting impression of the splendour and grandeur of Titanic and of Belfast's achievement in building the ship, but also with an important reminder that the story is about individual lives, about achievements and losses.
The narrative ends not with the disaster, but with an examination of how the spirit of Titanic has lived on, in the Ocean Exploration Centre. Footage from Dr Ballard's ongoing exploration of our seas and oceans is shown alongside more local endeavours, as Irish universities explore the marine environment around Ireland.

This book is a study of Supernaturalism from a new point of view--as a Source of Income and a Shield to Privilege. I have searched the libraries through, and no one has done it before. If you read it, you will see that it needed to be done. It has meant twenty-five years of thought and a year of investigation. It contains the facts. I publish the book myself, so that it may be available at the lowest possible price. I am giving my time and energy, in return for one thing which you may give me--the joy of speaking a true word and getting it heard. The present volume is the first of a series, which will do for Education, Journalism and Literature what has here been done for the Church: the four volumes making a work of revolutionary criticism, an Economic Interpretation of Culture under the general title of The Dead Hand. ~ Fan of this book?
