Lots of us seem to have Christmas villages that we don't know what to do with. Altho I live in soCal where it doesn't snow, I grew up in Chicago where it does snow sometimes. I got the idea of taking my old snow village and making it look like Chicago when I grew up. I could put up signs on the buildings with the names of the schools I went to, and the police building I have could really say CPD. I could have a Lincoln Park Zoo with the little animals. I might be able to cut up old photos of my family standing around. I know I could get a model of a car my family had.
My family would think that was interesting. That way I would feel fine about giving away some of the buildings that don't fit in. Unless I could use them to do the town my husband grew up in. The reason I am starting now is that we are going to Chicago briefly in June and I might be able to get models of Chicago buses or some little signs I could use or even ideas. Maybe the reason we aren't that enthralled with the snow villages is that they really don't have a meaning for us. I did see some Village 56 White Sox buildings but I was a Cub fan so I think I can do better by myself. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Great idea. Making it so personal would surely make it more interesting. Think about the lighthouse collectibles....we always look to see if they have the ones WE saw first. Same with the 'Cat's Meow" collectibles sold as souvenirs. And yur idea of using old pictures of family, just think how creative you can be with that! I give you a 10 on this idea. Barbara |
Great idea, especially the part about incorporating family photos. |

Nice idea to personalize them. I'm a little (well, a lot) removed from the Dept. 56 offerings. I have a dear friend back East who was huge into Dickens and the North Pole series - purchasing one if not two of every piece available. I accompanied her on her buying junkets every now and again and though thinking them charming, never really got bitten by the bug. I do have a church and six shops and houses, plus a few people and accessories from the Dickens series which I like very much- just enough to put up a holiday vignette without dealing with hundreds of boxes. I haven't kept up with all the different village eras available now, but I always thought a permanent display with a hobby model railroad might be an interesting project for someone. |

I think you have a great idea to make it more meaningful for you. My 8 yo got interested in the moving trains at the various train shows when he was a toddler. Then he saw some of the train diaramas incorporating local scenery. He has been hooked since. We pick up the $.50 buildings at thrift stores. Every year, he puts together his little set with various toys and buildings. He makes his own roads and special effects with crayons and cardboard. I bet he'd love to add some photos too. |
Last year I started to use little rice lights to make kind of a park scene and realized I don't need all the commercially made buildings to create a cute winter scene. Their figurines are the wrong scale for the buildings anyway. I don't understand why, they are a big enough company to have noticed the problem. We are going to take photos when we are back in Chicago and we can use some ideas, but I would like to do the period when I was a little girl. Actually I will be going to DeKalb Illinois for a college reunion, and flying in to Chgo. /Adella --your son sounds really creative. I saw a boys room once with a shelf about 1 foot from the ceiling and the train could run around the room, above the doorways. We have the big train set made in Germany which is nice for the grandchildren to play with as its tough to wreck. I will take photos of the display. I don't have that many houses, but enough to have gotten bored with putting them up the same way each year. |

My dad is a model railroader, and I love the idea of trying to create a set moment in time. His railroad is set in something like 1958, so of course OLDER stuff (buildings, cars, people) is perfectly acceptable, bcs in 1958, you could still find buildings built in 1897, and trucks made in 1947 and trains made in 1941. So keep that in mind--in an accurate rendition, you'll have several eras represented (just nothing NEWER). |
Thats a good point Talley, there would be a range of eras going back from the time I pick. In Chicago our house was old when we moved in and had an attic full of old trunks, and a new house or a new car was not the norm. My kids on the other hand see new houses and new cars all the time. Thats California for you. Where does your Dad set up his trains? |
- Posted by talley_sue_nyc (My Page) on Wed, Apr 16, 08 at 15:34
He used to have them set up in our un-insulated attic. They moved to Clive (a Des Moines suburb) awhile ago, and he has a special room in the basement. I love model railroad setups--more the town models than the trains, but the trains too. We went once (w/ Dad & Mom) to this place in NJ called "Northlandz," w/ these spectacular layouts & bridges, but it annoyed the heck out of me--there's be a house perched on the side of the hill, and a driveway, but then about 8 inches down the driveway, it would cease to exist, and there would be nowhere (literally, no level land) for a car to drive on. I like the "context"--even if the road drive off the edge of the layout (sort of, "out of the frame," or "offstage"), that's OK. But who would live in a house you can't drive to? |
thanks for the idea of the trains Talley, the houses that I don't want anymore because they don't fit in with the theme can go to grandson who has a model train set up. This weekend in an elegant part of Los Angeles, according to the LA times they are having a home tour and some body has a garden with a model train set up going through it. We just put out some solar lights that are blown glass globes and they seem to work. |

the houses that I don't want anymore because they don't fit in with the theme can go to grandson who has a model train set up Before you send them to him, you should check to be sure that the SCALE is the same. Trains come in some pretty basic scales, and if he's any sort of hobbyist, he won't want things that aren't in the right scale. HO gauge/scale: 1:87 |

Hofmann: 'Evening for Josie' helps Homewood teen
By Maryellen Hofmann Citizen firstname.lastname@example.com May 16, 2013 2:50PM
Josie Nordman | Supplied photo
Updated: June 20, 2013 6:17AM
To paraphrase lines from Shakespeare, "All the world's a stage … where every man (and woman) must play a part."
So was the case last weekend when members of The Drama Group banded together to stage an "Evening for Josie," a benefit performance to defray medical costs for Josie Nordman, the 19-year-old college student from Homewood who's in need of a double lung transplant.
If you live in the Homewood-Flossmoor area, chances are good that you know about Josie. The 2011 Homewood-Flossmoor High School graduate is suffering from end-stage lung disease as a result of cystic fibrosis, a genetic lung disorder she was diagnosed with as an infant.
Or perhaps you've noticed the license plate "CURE CF" around town on the Nordman family car.
If you don't know Josie personally — through her involvement in local theater or as an avid equestrian — you might have noticed the donation fund "Jars for Josie" at local businesses. The collection effort is sponsored by Homewood orthodontist Lisa Grant.
Or maybe you've contributed to the effort by dining at a local restaurant on dates set aside to help the cause or donated to one of two fundraising websites established by friends of the Nordman family and local businesses.
Since news of the family's situation surfaced, neighbors and friends have banded together to help the family. In recent weeks, residents of some surrounding communities have mounted fundraising efforts to offset the costs of a lung transplant that are not covered by insurance. Last weekend, it was The Drama Group, which is based in Chicago Heights and where Josie has performed.
Tina Zagone, of Olympia Fields, a longtime member of the theater group, said several members suggested producing a benefit performance. The Drama Group board agreed to sponsor the venue, and local residents took it from there.
Zagone said she and Judie Felix co-founded the group "Many Hands, One Heart" with the belief that everyone has a gift, talent, ability or resource that can be used in a tangible way to help others in need. They organized a similar event years ago and decided it was time to resurrect the concept.
Lynn Werth, of Crete, lined up a talented all-volunteer cast. Bobbie Sievering (Josie's grandmother and a Drama Group volunteer), of Park Forest, organized ticket sales, and a Nordman family friend, Christine Casey, solicited auction items.
Felix, a Joliet resident, first met Josie in 2009, when she was working in H-F High's theater department. When she heard that Josie was in failing health, Felix had to do something.
"I knew she had cystic fibrosis, and I felt a kinship with her since I have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease," Felix said, adding that Drama Group members use social media to keep track of young performers as they move on to college.
Josie is the oldest of four children and is a sophomore at Northwestern University, majoring in theater. She was placed on the lung transplant list in December. Her lung capacity diminished rapidly in the past year and is now at 16 percent.
In a recent telephone conversation with Josie while she was en route to the hospital, she described the outpouring of community support as "incredible and awe-inspiring." She said she's trying to stay in school and be as productive as possible while awaiting a transplant.
Insight Awareness, a wellness and education center in Homewood, has set up an online fundraising page. Donations can be made through June 4 at giveforward.com./The Josie Nordman Fund or www.indiegogo.com

NEW YORK – When the idea was first broached in a coach's meeting, it was instantly received with smiles. Then a few chuckles.
Play zone against Creighton? The nation's best long-bombing team?
"It was brave of us as a staff," said coach Ed Cooley. "Everybody thought we were crazy probably trying to play one of the best three point shooting teams in the country zone, but because of Dougie, you always have to have a man and a half around him. And you know, he almost pulled it off."
The zone not only forced Creighton into 8-of-30 three-point shooting but also helped dictate a slower, deliberate tempo that the players embraced. At one point during the game, Cooley asked his players if they wanted to shift to man-to-man for a few possessions. The answer was a resounding no.
"They said, "No, Coach, we're good. We're good. We know where they're at. We know our slides." That's when you've got to listen. You've got to be more of a listener than a talker," Cooley said.
The players were excited about the prospect of trying something new against the Jays, especially after getting blown out just a week ago in a loss in Omaha, 88-73.
"It comes from our coaching staff doing a great job of scouting the personnel and what they do best," said LaDontae Henton, who made the all-tournament team. "We wanted to slow the game down on offense and make sure we played our pace. For us to play zone against a good three point shooting team it goes to show how our coaches believe in us and how we can take the three away from a great shooting team."
The player who controlled the game's pace was senior guard Bryce Cotton. He never got rattled over his usual 40 minutes, scoring 23 points and turning the ball over only one time. As a team, the Friars lost the ball just six times.
"He's got a great pace to his game," said Creighton coach Greg McDermott. "He's not the biggest guy. I don't think he's the most athletic guard in the league, but number one, he's a winner, and, number two, he just changes speeds, and he's got a knack of making big shots. I was scared to death of the fact that he didn't shoot it good the first two games because, in my mind, I'm saying, there's no way Bryce Cotton's having three bad games shooting the basketball in a row, and that proved to be the case."

Greatest Show on Earth!
Once again we were very fortunate avoiding the rain problems that many other
parades faced. The weather was perfect and i feel that the parade was a tremendous success.
We are ready to begin plans for the upcoming 2014-2015 Mardi gras season.
We have chosen a theme and work commence on the floats in the next two weeks
We are presently entertaining nominations for maids and court members, and if you
or any of your family members are interested in being presented as a maid, junior maid, or Junior Duke, please feel free to contact me directly so that arrangements
can be made now.
This year we had 26 floats and 15 marching bands we would hope to exceed
that next year and we can do so with your cooperation. All we need is for each member in our club to recruit one new member, and that would double our number and thereby enable us to present 30 floats next year.
In the interim, should you have any questions with regard to your membership in the Corps de Napoleon please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Browse Online or Call Us – 5048885849
Participating in an authentic mardi gras parade is a surreal experience. When the tractors first start their engines and the marching bands begin playing their tunes, it is impossible to prevent the tingling down your spine.
But it gets even better, as you exit the formation area and you see and hear the roar of the crowd as they wave their hands for the coveted baubles that you have procured for what is known on the world as "The greatest show on Earth!"

Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D. - 8/25/08
Making the Right Choices
A vibrant university consists of faculty, students, staff, alumni, parents, community members — the list goes on as do the expectations to meet their personal, social, and educational needs. Especially on a residential campus, education doesn't just happen in classrooms and laboratories. Our students — many of them living on their own for the first time — make choices every day. As a university, as a society, we have an overriding interest in providing them with the information they need to make the right ones.
Some of those choices inevitably concern the use of alcohol. Washington State University has long maintained an active and effective effort, coordinated through our Alcohol and Drug Counseling, Assessment, and Prevention Services program, to provide the education and support that our students might need.
Washington State University will always take a strong stance against the abuse and irresponsible use and consumption of alcohol. Recently, questions have been raised about our current alcohol policy. In fact, the new policy is not significantly different from the old policy, which permitted serving alcohol on campus with the appropriate liquor license. The new policy permits the same; however, a permanent liquor license will be held in the new restaurant in the CUB and in the club house of the Palouse Ridge Golf Club. It is important to note that alcohol will only be served with meals and an open bar will not be in the CUB restaurant.
Alcohol availability is a fact of life in our society. There are bars near campus and elsewhere in the community where students, faculty and staff of legal age can have a drink. Responsible restaurant and bar owners are diligent about making sure that alcohol is sold only to those 21 and older and that patrons are not overserved. These requirements will be rigorously enforced at Washington State University.
I am far more concerned about the sort of unregulated and unsupervised abuse of alcohol by underage students that is too frequently a part of private gatherings around our campus and on campuses nationwide. Unfortunately, some young people see binge drinking as a rite of passage. This is not just a college problem; patterns of alcohol abuse often are formed in high school or junior high. Education is a big part of the solution; so is counseling; so is enforcement when laws are violated. Our nation tried Prohibition once, and found it ineffective.
In the past week, college presidents from about 100 of the nation's universities called on lawmakers to consider lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18. They maintain that current laws, by making alcohol "forbidden fruit," encourage underage binge drinking. While I do not agree with the group's desire to lower the drinking age, I applaud these presidents for sparking a discussion about how we can seek more effective solutions to the challenges associated with alcohol use and abuse.
In our society, we are faced with a world of choices. For some people 21 and over, deciding whether to have a drink with a dinner or after a round of golf is simply a part of life. Alcohol can be abused; it can be used responsibly. I assure everyone who is concerned about this issue that WSU continues to be committed to providing the tools necessary to make responsible choices.

Court Square Group on 11th Annual Inner City 100
Now in its 11th year, the Inner City 100 list provides unmatched original data on the fastest growing inner-city businesses in the U.S. For the 2009 list, over 5,000 nominations were received. The 2009 Inner City 100 winners grew at a compound annual growth rate of 40 percent and an average rate of 324 percent between 2003 and 2007. Collectively, the top 100 inner city businesses have employed nearly 17,000 people and created nearly 10,000 new jobs over the past five years.
"We are delighted to celebrate businesses like Court Square Group that are playing a critical role to revitalize distressed urban communities throughout America," said Michael Porter, founder and CEO of ICIC. "By creating jobs, income, and wealth for local residents, these high-growth businesses are vivid proof that the most effective way to address economic inequality in America is to equip every community to prosper in the market system. Inner City 100 companies also provide a window into the future where all companies will need to learn to address diverse customers and mobilize diverse workforces."
Court Square Group is a professional consulting firm providing strategic services in information technology, SharePoint document management, network security and life science IT and quality compliance. The company has offices throughout the northeast and has been servicing clients on a global basis since 1995. More information can be found at www.courtsquaregroup.com.
The 2009 Inner City 100 winners operate from 55 cities in 31 states. Fifteen companies on the list are based in California and eight are from Massachusetts. Texas, New York and Colorado each have seven companies on the list. Pennsylvania has six companies on the list and Ohio has five. Three states (Florida, Missouri and Indiana) have four companies on the list. Among the top cities represented in the 2009 list Denver has seven winning companies and Boston, Philadelphia, Oakland, and San Francisco each have four companies listed on the Inner City 100.
The list is proof of concept that doing business in an inner city area holds a distinct competitive advantage. ICIC has been studying the economic condition of the largest 100 American cities for more than a decade and is working to revitalize inner cities across the country.
The 2009 Inner City 100 winners attended the Inner City 100 Summit in Boston for a two-day event featuring seminars for Inner City 100 owners and managers at Harvard Business School, a reception at the Harvard Club of Boston, and a gala awards dinner at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center that is expected to draw more than 800 guests.
Highlights of the 2009 Inner City 100 list include:
- Inner City 100 companies are 34 percent minority-owned. Nationally, just 8 percent of companies with annual revenues over $1 million are minority-owned.
- The 2009 Inner City 100 companies are 18 percent owned by immigrants to the United States.

Fast Facts
Faculty: All faculty in the School of Business Administration teach in this program
Are graduate studies available for this program? Yes
Can you major in this program? Yes
Can you minor in this program? Yes
Emphasis within the major: The full spectrum of business; students may further specialize if they wish.
Program website:
This program offers students a strong foundation for career success.
This fact sheet is also available as a PDF.
If you're interested in many aspects of the business world, then the business administration major may be right for you. Business administration students participate in an interdepartmental program that covers the full spectrum of business. Within the major, you may further specialize or prepare generally for business, governmental activity, or pre-law or graduate studies. Graduate students in the program take advanced-level classes in all areas of business.
Students take courses in statistics, information technology, financial accounting, management accounting, business ethics, marketing, finance, business communication and strategic management.
A Distinctive Program
The business administration major provides a broad range of experience-based educational opportunities designed to give students an academic foundation for career success. Stetson University's School of Business Administration is fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International, a prestigious accreditation.
Academics and Research
Facilities and opportunities
All faculty in the School of Business Administration teach in this program and are committed to providing an education which will serve as the foundation for a successful career in business. All classes at the DeLand campus are held in the Lynn Business Center, which features smart classrooms and meeting space designed to prepare students for real-world encounters.
Preparation for graduate study
Students may choose to prepare for graduate study in law, business or another field.
Graduate study
The business administration program features a graduate component for students who possess undergraduate degrees from accredited institutions and wish to pursue graduate studies toward receiving a master of business administration degree. The graduate program is offered at both Celebration and DeLand and can be taken in two tracks, accelerated and professional. The accelerated track allows students to complete the program in as little as one year and is designed for recent graduates from an undergraduate program. The professional track is designed for working professionals and allows students to complete the program at the student's own pace; the program is typically completed in 18 months on this track.
All classes meet once per week and are offered in the evenings beginning at 6 p.m. to accommodate the schedules of graduate students. Undergraduate study in business is not required. However, foundation classes at the undergraduate level are required and those students who did not major in a business field will likely require more foundation classes than those students who majored in a business field.
Additionally, a dual-degree program is offered via the College of Law and the School of Business Administration that allows students to earn both a J.D. and an M.B.A. Students wishing to complete this program must satisfy the admission requirements and be admitted to both the College of Law and the School of Business Administration. Though the classes for both components of this program are offered at the Gulfport campus, the classes for the business component are also offered at the DeLand campus and the Celebration center.
Awards and Recognition
Grant-funded research
Students are encouraged to take part in the Stetson Undergraduate Research Experience. Each year undergraduate scholars are selected in a university-wide competition for grants to work with a faculty mentor on a summer research project.
Undergraduate awards and honors
The department awards the Business School Foundation Merit Award for Business Administration. Undergraduate students also have the opportunity to join the honor society Alpha Kappa Psi.
Beyond the Classroom
Students have interned at companies including AAA, Bank of America, Delta Airlines, Florida Hospital, IBM, Morgan Stanley and NASCAR.
After Stetson
Diverse careers
Business administration majors are in demand as customer service representatives, business analysts, financial planners, project managers, retail/merchandising managers, and sales representatives and managers. Recent alumni accomplishments include studying as a Ph.D. student in financial management, working as an assistant vice president at Fixed Income Group and as an R.J. O'Brien futures broker, working as a marketing project coordinator at AAA and working as a computer programmer analyst for the Volusia County Health Department.

"White Rose:" A Traveling Exhibit
The UNI Center for Holocasut and Genocide Education and the Grout Museum District present a traveling exhibit from the White Rose Foundation in Munich. This exhibit focuses on the most famous non-violent student resistance movement during the Nazi era. In 1942-1943, a small group of students and a professor in Munich distributed leaflets calling for the overthrow of Hitler and his government. The efforts of their group, which they called the White Rose, have left an enduring legacy for today's generations of Germans, who consistently place the members of the White Rose among the Germans whom they most admire.
On Saturday, March 9, at 2 p.m. in the Jean and Clair Parker Theater in the Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum (Grout Museum District), there will be a free screening of "Sophie Scholl: The Final Days," a 2005 dramatization of the capture and trials of Sophie Scholl and other members of the White Rose.

A potentially poisonous chemical has been discovered in the groundwater on the York College campus, but an engineer for CUNY says, as it isn't at dangerous levels, there is no need for concern.
Tectonic Engineering & Surveying Consultants was hired by the state Dormitory Authority to help solve a flooding problem in the subbasement at York. It reported the existence of perchloroethylene in ground water that was sampled and tested at a monitoring well near the Performing Arts Center, according to Ali Vedavarz, CUNY's director of engineering services.
He added that the departments of Environmental Protection and Environmental Conservation have been notified. However, the DEC says it has no record of such a notification and the DEP did not respond to requests for comment by press time.
PCE, also known as tetrachloroethylene, is a colorless liquid widely used for dry cleaning fabrics. Exposure to harmful amounts of PCE over extended periods of time can cause cancer, liver and kidney damage and memory loss and confusion, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Water continues to seep into York's basement through cracks in the slab, a problem aggravated by a rising groundwater table. In an effort to correct that problem, Tectonic proposed pumping water from below the basement slab, which would involve pushing wells into the sand beneath the Academic Core Building, to extract the water through a header pipe. It would move south under the Guy R. Brewer Boulevard sidewalk in front of the building then under Liberty Avenue to a recharge area located near the Health and Physical Education Building.
But that idea was scrapped when the PCE was found. Tectonic concluded that the existence of the chemical in the groundwater would warrant the installation of a water treatment plant at the south side of the campus. A treatment plant is costly, requires a large footprint and has a high service and maintenance cost, making it unfeasible for the college, Vedavarz said.
In most cases, its operation and maintenance must be outsourced and requires continuous monitoring, he added. As a result, it was more practical to consider a waterproofing option that has no environmental impact.
The new plan involves covering the subbasement with a mesh membrane, raising the slab and reinforcing the walls so that the water is pushed down. It would stop the continued groundwater infiltration without having to remove or relocate the boilers, chillers, and other major equipment. The estimated preliminary cost of the waterproofing work is about $26 million, Vedavarz said.
He maintains that the PCE is below the maximum level allowed by DEP and therefore is not dangerous. Since the college has ditched the initial pumping plan, placing a treatment plant on the campus is not required.
The college's administration has not notified students or the surrounding community about the presence of PCE in the water, according to Vedavarz, who said he is not sure if that is required at this point.

*Written yesterday on my last day of vacation.*
It's pathetic that the worst part of my trip has been having to maintain an uncomfortable "head back" position while trying to keep my tan even on my neck.
There certainly isn't anything wrong with sitting poolside in the hot sun waiting for my Pleasure Punch to arrive. Who could complain about this? Back home my mother tow me it's a measly ten degrees Celsius and windy as all hell, so this seems the perfect way to spend my last day in Las Vegas.
My bloggers are gone, TBH had an early flight and Inris is off playing in a poker tournament, but oh– my drink has just arrived chalk full of vodka so it all balances out.
This trip has been the definition of perfect. My first trip to Vegas was with a bunch of immature whores and left something to be desired, but this trip was amazing. I'm going to fly home tonight feeling refreshed and relaxed, having seen things I've never seen before and been places I've never been, with the most amazing company.
We've seen the Hoover Dam, the Las Vegas sign, the wax museum, the Bellagio fountains. We saw the landscape from the window of a limousine as we sipped mimosas. We gambled– I lost, but they won! We talked about our blogs, and you, and about the loves in our lives. We set ourselves deadlines for milestones and, while I shall say no more about that, it is necessary and is nice to have friends to confide in. We toured the strip, I was saved from a snake, and we had our fortunes told by a fraudulent psychic. We ordered in, we ate out, we had expensive drinks and cheap white wine. We saw Nathan Burton's comedy magic show, we toasted Ben Affleck, and we made a brief friendship in the elevator. We had the same man mistakenly knock on our door three times in a row, and we stayed in the biggest most incredible suite I've ever been in. We had a great view from the fiftieth floor, and a TV in the bathroom.
There are worse ways to spend October.

(ATLANTA) – A field of 30 LPGA Legends made their way to the Country Club of Roswell today to get ready for the inaugural Judson Collegiate Invitational and Legends Tour Atlanta Pro-Am hosted by 5-time Legends Tour Champion and Atlanta area resident Rosie Jones. Practice rounds are underway as the Legends, along with 42 college students from across the nation, prepare to play in Sunday's pro-am and Monday's competitive stroke play round.
"The course is playing even longer than it typically does thanks to 10 inches of rain we've had in the last two days," notes Jones, a 13-time LPGA Tour Winner and the 2011 Solheim Cup Captain of the U.S. squad. "To score well, you're going to have to be pretty accurate with your irons coming into the greens and be on the right side of the hole. I think with it only being an 18-hole event on Monday, you're going to see a score of maybe a couple under par win it."
Current and former Atlanta area residents and Legends professionals Jenny Lidback and Gail Graham agree that the course will pose a healthy challenge for their Tour peers this weekend.
"It's got a little bit of everything," observes Lidback, a past major champion on the LPGA Tour with one top ten finish thus far on The Legends Tour. "It's got pretty severe uphill holes, downhill, dogleg lefts, dogleg rights and it's pretty narrow so you have to drive it well."
Graham, twice a winner on the LPGA Tour, concurred that driving accuracy will be key to scoring well enough to be in contention. "There are a lot of elevation changes from tees to greens so you'll want to keep it in the fairway," points out Gail, "and that will be my strategy along with firing at the pins. We've only got 18 holes so you gotta go for it, take dead aim and take no prisoners."
LPGA and World Golf Hall of Fame members in the Legends field include Nancy Lopez, Beth Daniel, Pat Bradley, Amy Alcott, Donna Caponi and Hollis Stacy. Most recent Legends Tour champion Sherri Turner, who won last month's Hannaford Community Challenge in Portland, Maine, will also appear. Other Legends notables include Legends career money leader Jan Stephenson, 27-time LPGA Tour champion Jane Blalock and Legends past major champion, Sherri Steinhauer. Kathy Whitworth, LPGA Hall of Famer and the winningest professional in the history of the game, will lead a team in the pro-am.
Legends professionals will tee it up in a pro-am on Sunday, July 15 and an 18-hole tournament on Monday, July 16. The collegiate golfers will play alongside the Legends on Monday for the first round of their own competition and then go on to play second and final rounds on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.
Tickets are $10 per day per adult and free to kids under 17 as well as military personnel. They can be purchased at the gate, which opens at 11:00 a.m. for Sunday's pro-am and 8:00 a.m. for Monday's tournament. More details can be found at www.thelegendstour.com.

.- The Pope's vicar general for the Diocese of Rome, Cardinal Camillo Ruini, is inviting the faithful to participate in ceremonies on April 2 and 3 to commemorate the first anniversary of the passing of Pope John Paul II.
According to Europa Press, the cardinal sent a letter to all pastors, religious superiors and faithful of Rome announcing two events to commemorate the anniversary and give thanks to God "for the gift [Pope John Paul II] has meant for the Church and humanity."
The first event will be a prayer vigil and rosary on Sunday, April 2, in St. Peter's Square, which will hearken to the intense atmosphere of prayer that prevailed on the night the late Pontiff died. After the recitation of the rosary, Pope Benedict XVI will greet the faithful from the window of his study.
The second event will be a commemorative Mass in St. Peter's Basilica on Monday, April 3.
In his letter, Cardinal Ruini explained that the purpose of gathering together to pray with the current Pope is to express "the intense and profound feelings of gratitude that we hold in our hearts for our beloved Pontiff."

Educational Administration Degrees
When people think of education, they often think of teachers and teaching assistants. However, there are a lot of individuals who work outside of classrooms to keep the school running smoothly and efficiently. These individuals are educational administrators, and they manage the school by enacting policies and procedures, and making sure they are carried out properly. They supervise staff and interact with parents on a daily basis, making communication a vital skill. They may also make budget decisions that affect the school on a grand scale.
If you enjoy learning about educational policy and if you hope to make a career out of participating in operating a school, then a degree in educational administration may be a good fit for you. Educational administrations must be organized and open to collaborative work. They often train employees as well; the positions therefore require patience and an understanding of adult learning.
Classes and Assignments of an Educational Administration Major
Whether an individual pursues online masters educational administration degrees or traditional degrees, the educational administrator major will prepare students to assume leadership positions within schools. Classes will teach students about contemporary issues in education, the political and economic issues that affect educational policy, leadership theory, and staff management. Projects will include research, papers, reading assignments, and solving example problems that may arise in management practice. Many projects have an internship component during which a student will observe and participate in field work related to educational administration.
Degree Levels for an Educational Administration Major
- Associate. It is uncommon for colleges and universities to offer online associate educational administration degrees. However, students interested in pursuing that path through higher education can prepare themselves by pursuing an associate degree in a field related to education.
- Bachelor's. As most educational administrator positions require at least a master's degree, it is uncommon for universities to offer online bachelors education administration degrees. However, students can choose to major in education, which will set a strong foundation for graduate-level study in the field.
- Master's. At the master's degree level, students will learn about staff management, record keeping, budget maintenance, and the shaping of educational policy. Students will conduct research and write papers, and may also be required to engage in field work. At the master's level, students may be required to write a theses over a topic related to education administration.
- Doctoral. The doctoral level of educational administration prepares students for careers in academia. This degree delves deeper into the theories and practices behind educational administration. Students will be required to conduct research and report their findings in the form of a dissertation over an issue within the field of education administration.
A Future as an Education Administration Major
The best college degree for education administration will prepare students to be well-rounded and able to fit into a variety of administrative positions. Students who graduate with the most useful college degrees have the option of becoming principals, assistant principals, deans, directors, and development officers. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for education administrators is excellent and the average salary for an educational administrator is generally high, though that varies based on the specific position, geographical location, employer, and experience.

A ceremony will be held Sunday to remember the "Simpsonville Slaughter" of 1865, when a group from the Colored Calvary were brutally slain near the spot just west of Simpsonville, where the Whitney M. Young Job Corps Center now stands.
Shelby County Judge Executive Rob Rothenburger announced recently that seven county road department employees have been recognized by the University of Kentucky's Transportation Cabinet upon their completion of the Roads Scholar and Master Scholar Training Program.
This voluntary training series provides local and state government employees with information on properly maintaining local streets and roads.
The Shelby County Rockets just can't get over the hump.
Shelby (7-11) rallied from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit and had a chance to win the game late, but came up short again in a 62-60 loss at Grant County (13-6) Tuesday.
The Braves were the eighth team this season to beat the Rockets by five points or fewer.
A hot Simon Kenton start buried the Lady Rockets in the first quarter Saturday, and the Shelby girls' couldn't dig out, losing, 73-57.
The host Pioneers (13-4) raced out to a 17-4 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. The Lady Rockets (7-9) finally put a dent in the lead in the fourth quarter. Trailing 55-36, Shelby outscored Simon Kenton, 21-13, in the fourth quarter.
Like most Americans, I watched President Barack Obama take the oath of office via TV screen.
But instead of sitting on a sofa or standing around with co-workers in the break room, I stood shivering, shoulder to shoulder with a throng of total strangers just seven blocks away from where Obama placed his hand on Abraham Lincoln's Bible and became the first African-American President of the United States of America.
Shelby's own GRA-KAT Environmental Services have been doing landscape, excavation and erosion contracting work since 1978.
The company has worked some major land-management projects in the county, including the demolition on Shelby Manor Nursing Home and the development of sidewalks at the Court House and on Rocket Lane. It also provides environmental inspections and universal waste recycling.
There are currently 42 registered child sex offenders living in Shelby County.
Their victims range in age from 2 to 18 and their crimes from sodomy to incest.
Local officials said many more offenders never were identified, and, sadly, many offenses could have been prevented.
In the last two weeks, two local men have been charged with separate cases of child sexual abuse. Along with making headlines across the state, the allegations have reawakened a concern for protecting children in the community.
There was a familiar face with a new role on the Triple S Planning and Zoning Commission Tuesday.
Gil Tucker, formerly vice chairman, led the meeting as the new chairman of the commission.
The commission voted Tucker to take over that position in light of George Best's departure to take a seat on the Shelbyville City Council. Ed Rudolph has taken over as vice chairman, and Jake Smith remains treasurer.
Kathy Ranard's main concern is keeping Shelby County from becoming too trashy.
She has her work cut out for her, but she is trying to stay ahead of the game with her Litter Abatement Program.
Ranard, the Clean Community coordinator, says that getting local people and organizations to "Adopt a Road" is also helping, as is using inmate labor to help offset the cost of cleaning up trash from roadways.
As of Wednesday, Shauna Gramig can focus on the upcoming softball season.
Gramig, a senior catcher for the Lady Rockets, won't have to worry about her college career, because she took care of that by signing her letter-of-intent to play for the Georgetown College next season.

Juice Attack
Are juices as nutritious as the fruits they come from?
Juices do hold onto the whole fruit's vitamins and minerals. However, they don't offer much of a very important nutrient - fiber - which is contained in fruits' peels and membranes.
Fiber helps the digestive process and protects against certain cancers. From a weight-management standpoint, fiber also helps because it's filling and helps curbs your appetite.

Over the winter I put quite a few plants into the gritty mix. All of these plants overwinter indoors - some in an unfinished basement, some in finished areas of the house. The plants in the finished area all require drip pans. The problem I had was whenever I went to water I always had quite a bit of water go right through the mix (the whole point, no perched water). However eventually the water would build up in the pan and would overflow unless I could get in there with a syringe and suck it out. This became time consuming. Many of the plants are too heavy to lift every time I want to drain the excess water.
What I've decided to try to do is build little drains with shutoff valves into the poly drip pans and either connect them all together or just use a bucket and open the valve when I need to drain them. The problem is that I can't seem to find a fitting that will lay basically flat against the inside of the drain pan (as flat as can be on the curved surface, I will put silicone in behind it). Does anyone know of anything that might work? I need something with a *very* small profile on the inside of the pan since almost all of my pots use the built-in drip pans that just barely fit. Then I need a way to connect the grommet or flange-type-thing to 1/4" tubing. So far these look like my best bet: http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/Itemdesc.asp?ic=HPMG14&eq=&Tp=
Even that grommet doesn't look like it will be thin enough on the inside - not to mention it's about 2$ per pot with the valve... Thanks! |

There isn't really any cost effective way of doing this, because what you'd need is a bulkhead of some sort. Problem is, I don't know that they make them that small, and they aren't cheap. What I do is use a 5 gallon bucket. For the large pots, which are obviously heavy, I just place it right on top of the bucket if it fits without falling in. I then water, and the waste just goes into the bucket. For smaller pots, I'll just set them in the sink and water, or use the 5 gallon bucket with a piece of egg crate over the bucket. Then, I use the waste water in the garden somewhere. I find that watering with the gritty mix can be a challenge, but one that is worth the benefits. I am looking for a way to make sure all of the mix gets wet, because the water drains out well before the mix is wet enough. Oh, and a note on the 1/4" tubing: due to the small internal diameter of the tubing, you may find that it won't drain because the air won't beable to be displaced fast enough. Unless the tubing runs straight down quite a bit, to allow gravity to push the water, you will get an airlock in the tubing. Although a good thought, I suspect you'll end up buying materials to make these little drains, and find yourself disappointed. This spring I built a custom deluxe rain collection system where water collects from a resin tabletop places over a rubbermaid tub. This ensures clean water, as the water from the roof has too many contaminates for my indoor plants. Anyway, I popped a 1/2" drain hole in the bottom of tub, with a 5/8" hose barb fitting to connect a standard hose. The other end of the hose goes to a barb fitting and valve, that goes though the wall into the basement, where I ran PVC pipe to a bucket that has a bulkhead through the bottom, where I attach a coffee filter before that drains into my 55 gallon barrel for storage. All I have to do is open a valve in the basement to drain the rubbermaid tub on the deck into my storage barrel. Anyway, the rubbermaid tub, even when full, did not have enough pressure to force the water through the hose and into the basement. It basically got airlocked, so I had to add a vent pipe to allow the air pressure to relieve. Mind you this is 1/2" ID pipe and hose, and this problem is WAY worse in 1/4" tubing. So, the short answer, go the route of the 5 gallon bucket instead. Joe |

The 5-gallon buckets aren't really an option for me, though I appreciate the suggestion. Some of the pots are far too heavy to be lifting at every watering and in the case of the 8-10' tall citrus trees they are already basically hitting the ceiling so I have no room to lift them up and into a bucket unless I want to cut off another foot of growth. I suppose I could if absolutely necessary but that will be a last resort. Could you explain more about the vent pipe you created? Is there some way I could make a little miniature one with the 1/4" tubing? Do you think it might work, for example, to put a 1/4" T with the open leg facing up so that there was air pressure "above" the water? |
The T thing is how I made the vent for my rain water system. It just has to have the stack pipe be above the height of what the water is draining from. How high up will these catch trays be? If they are set directly on the floor, you won't beable to drain them. You could always get something different instead of poly trays. Something that holds more water, so you don't have overflows. Shallow tupperwares, cookie sheets, or rubbermaid tote lids are a few things that come to mind. Sometimes, to prevent waste, I'll use a turkey baster to suck up the water from the trays, and keep running it through the gritty mix. If you MUST do the drain thing, then I would get a threaded barb fitting for the tubing, drill a hole that makes the threads a tight fight, and use RTV silicone caulk to seal it in good. Joe |
- Posted by redshirtcat 6a MO StL (My Page) on Sun, May 29, 11 at 2:44
The height varies. Some are 2-4 feet off the ground on plant stands others (the large trees) are only a few inches off the ground on rollers. Last winter I used a turkey baster and a giant syringe for quite awhile every day. Some of the trees are in 24" planters. To get that much gritty mix wet it takes a good deal of water. I had them on slightly larger clay catch basins and would use the baster when they were about to overflow. There are so many pots that I really would like to try another way this year. In the basement I can just let the excess go into the floor drain but in the finished areas I have to find something that looks halfway decent to deal with the water (I can't put them all into a huge basin or etc). I will give the threaded fittings a try. I have a lot of time to find a solution so I will try it a few ways and see if I can make it work. Thanks for the help! |
Use a Wet Vac to remove the excess water.....it's even useful for the dead leaves, spiders and spilled soil..... |

In my situation, I water slowly with a fine "rain" nozzle. I have saucers beneath many plants, but they have shallow lips. Josh |
- Posted by emgardener (My Page) on Mon, May 30, 11 at 14:12
Interesting system you have there. So your pots are draining via the tubes, down to the ground I presume? How do you know when you've watered enough, not being able to see the draining water? I think this is your answer redshirtcat. Joe |
- Posted by redshirtcat 6a MO StL (My Page) on Mon, May 30, 11 at 17:34
Thanks guys. I've found wet vacs to be very helpful in the past (I used one early this spring when I was fixing my lawn irrigation - cut the main, vac out the fluid) - but in this case I don't think I would be able to get in there with the vac without replacing all of the saucers. Most of my plants are in cheap poly planters similar to this one: http://www.planter.com/products/detail.aspx?ProductId=1015&SubFamilyId=14&FamilyId=13&LineId=12 That was obviously a mistake as you can see the drip pan is built in and there is no room to really get in there and get at the overflow (which is why I had to use a syringe last season more than the turkey baster). Emgardener's tubing suggestion looks like it might be perfect for me. The pictures above are interesting. They look like homemade SWCs (with the 2 buckets inside of each other)? I understand that even if you're making SWCs I can use the same principle (I will try next weekend) but what IS going on in the pic? Josh: do you use that fine spray mister indoors? In finished areas of the house? If so do you have a specific product that you suggest? I can't have any overspray onto the wood floors and curtains etc. I'll probably have to build in the drains anyway since at some point they will likely fill up over the course of the winter but an indoor fine sprayer would certainly help with watering the gritty mix. |
- Posted by emgardener (My Page) on Mon, May 30, 11 at 23:01
The double buckets are for drainage only out to the yard. I didn't want the pots draining onto a wood deck. I've installed drip lines to each tub that go off on a timer. So some water overflows. Probably take more pictures tomorrow on the whole setup. |
- Posted by greentiger87 none (My Page) on Tue, May 31, 11 at 0:50
Maybe add a larger pan underneath, and then wetvac that? I use a little siphon made from some airline tubing and a water bottle to soak up the water. Lol, I actually used to use a turkey baster as well... I'm glad I'm not the only one in this predicament. I'm looking into better solutions, but I haven't found anything simple yet. Another thought, if you don't mind the look, is to get one of those underbed storage containers - there often labeled as shoe storage. Large area but relatively short walls. You could easily fit several of your pots in one. |
- Posted by greentiger87 none (My Page) on Tue, May 31, 11 at 1:07
Wait, maybe I'm missing something (I'm still a beginner to DIYing, to some extent)... but why can't you just drill a hole, put in the tubing, and caulk it with silicone? I've done this many times in other contexts, and never had a problem. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, May 31, 11 at 10:35
Hey, Redshirt! I use a Haws brand watering can with a rose tip for my indoor plants. It provides a nice, slow watering that doesn't splash everywhere or disturb soil. I think there are quite a few other brands, though, that provide the same product. Josh |
- Posted by redshirtcat 6a MO StL (My Page) on Tue, May 31, 11 at 12:18
I might be able to use the simple hole with silicone solution - that is basically what emgardener suggested and what I will try. In my case I need valves on each one (or on sets of connected drains anyway) since they are in finished areas and I don't want visible drip pans anywhere. It looks like he has quite a drop to some area below and Joe's point was that drains require some kind of atmospheric pressure to function properly so in addition to a valve I might have to add a T connection with one end facing up and a little pipe going up above the water level so that the drains will function properly (you have vents in the plumbing in your house for this reason as well). With a large enough pipe diameter venting wouldn't be such a big deal but using 1/4" pipe it might be difficult. I will know soon if it will work the pipe should be here sometime this week. And Josh: thanks for the tip. I didn't even know such things as "roses" existed. I learn so much on these forums. I ordered one of their plastic outdoor models from Amazon so that should help significantly. Maybe over the winter when there aren't so many plants to buy I will spring for one of the really nice metal versions... they look so tempting. |

From a personal blog to just tennis news / gossip, I've seen myself grow and gained many opportunities which I don't think I will experience if I hadn't chose this path.
Branding myself as the 'Asian Tennis Blogger' from April 2008 onwards, I've met Rafael Nadal and Richard Gasquet (the first two players I met) at the KLIA airport to interviewing Roger Federer, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe and James Blake at a press conference, and from meeting charismatic tennis ATP players like Fernando Verdasco, Nikolay Davydenko and Robin Soderling to celebrating WTA tennis player Li Na's birthday during her trip to Malaysia for WTA Malaysian Open - I'm living my dream as a tennis blogger and tennis fan!
Through tennis blogging, I've also met many great friends from around the world. My family, friends and partner have been very supportive of my passion too.
Perhaps the only missing thing in my life right now is watching at least a Grand Slam tennis tournament and I really hope it's going to be the US Open - I think the atmosphere is just superb although many would have opted for Wimbledon instead.
Tennis blogging aside, I do have a full time job (although most people think bloggers don't) and I'm based in Kuala Lumpur. I enjoy watching tennis and reality shows and having a good cup of coffee.

I'm considering purchasing some of my shiny, new appliances from Sears. (I'm not in the Viking, Sub-Z price point). Sears is offering the best deal on a GE Profile fridge I'm considering (even better than the GE friends and family discount). But, the service plans Sears offers are much more expensive than the GE direct plan ($550 for 5 years and $379 for 3 years, compared with $100 for 4 years - admittedly, I haven't researched fully what the GE plan entails).
Anyone have experience with these service plans? Thanks in advance. (I'm posting this on the appliances forum, too). |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know, but based on my experience this past weekend trying to get a $2.99 replacement belt for my vacuum, I would be hesitant to buy anything from Sears again, especially not a service contracts. Without boring you with all the details: - 800 number tells me my part number is wrong (it's not) but that the part I need is in stock at my local repair center. - Same 800 number can't locate that same center on their system to confirm hours. Says the location I'm asking about doesn't exist. (it does.) - Phone number on internet is not answered. Nor are 3 different phone numbers given to my by different store locations in the dozen or so calls I placed, most of which either disconnected me when transferring my call or put me through to a line that was never answered. - Was told that the parts/repair centers often don't answer the phone because everything is walk-in. (No voicemail for hours, how would I follow up on a pending repair?) - When I finally got to the "non-existent" repair center, they confirmed that the part showed avail on computer, but they didn't actually have one. - The explanation I was given was a shrug and "I just work here." Note that as promised I did not give you all the details. Sears? No thanks. |
- Posted by theresa_92841 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 30, 08 at 1:23
I think it can depend upon the location. I have been very happy with my Sears protection plans so far. They have been responsive, capable and worth the money I spent. We'll see how that holds up as time goes on. I just bought some new appliances and will find out if it holds true for them too. |
