The Mavericks Celebrate 25 Years With a Tour, Jo Dee Messina's Back, Randy Rogers and Kyle Park to Play Coleman Rodeo – Top Stories of the Week
Here are the top 5 stories for the past week just in cased you missed one.
Here are the top 5 stories for the past week just in cased you missed one.
You might remember a mother-daughter duo called The Judds back in the late '80s-'90s. I was lucky enough to get to see them in concert and I have to say I was blown away. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
In 1986 Dan Seals made his mark in country music by scoring two chart topping songs that summer. In early June, the Dan Seals song "Bop" owned the airwaves, but by the end of summer the pop turned country artist was back on top with his song "Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)". "Bop" went on to become Dan's most successful song ever and while both were nominated for several awards in 1986. the song "Bop" won the 'Song Of The Year' award from the Country Music Association. But 1986 also had other amazing songs like it.
The 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards aren't scheduled to air until April 7, but we already know some of the top acts that have won. In a special announcement on Friday (March 22), the ACMs revealed the winners of some of the special off-camera awards, including huge stars like Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton.
This Years annual Christmas Make-A-Wish party kicked off with breakfast and a very famous person, Santa! Wynonna Judd admitted that sometimes it's not all about her and after watching the kids interact with the Macy's Santa Claus, she realized that there was someone far more famous than her in the room.
Here's a show you do not want to miss. It's the academy Of Country Music's special show titled "Girls Night Out". The show features, Martina, Carrie, Miranda, Reba, Sara Evans, Jennifer Nettles, The Judd's, Loretta Lynn, Vince Gill, Rascal Flatts, Ronnie Dunn, Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton serenading his soon to be wife (this weekend actually).
I told you earlier in the week of the memoir from Ashley Judd "All That's Bitter And Sweet".
Now the "Judds" Wynonna and Naomi have a reality show coming out on the OWN network and discuss their own version of family secrets.
The Big winners at Sunday nights Academy of Country Music Awards Show didn't win cash, but rather big silver statues. And the this years Entertainer of the Years goes to...

I went to my son's high school open house this week, only to find that two (out of six) of his teachers were not there. This has happened before and it's so aggravating! The open house has been on the schedule since July. I can understand if they were ill or something but these teachers were at school the day of the open house and were also at work the next day. Makes me wonder if they were avoiding the parents for some reason. I don't know why it isn't mandatory that teachers be at open house. I know that when my son was in band, he was required to attend - it was actually part of his grade! Just want to vent... maybe open house isn't that big a deal to teachers? |

Have run into the same thing myself. Our kids get an afternoon off so the teachers don't have to teach, so they can be at the open house without having to pay them overtime. Then, they don't show. I think, without very good reason,their paychecks should be deducted,(and am I ever going to hear it on that comment) I am one of those in your face moms, so if I really have an issue, I make it a point to see the teacher another time. But to have them not show is just plain rude. Rose |
I just went to an open house for my kid. There was a no show there as well. However, I know the cause of that one. That no show was because the teacher was taking a college class. They need to keep taking classes around here to keep up their certification. And that teacher's class happened to be on the day of open house. |
I agree teachers should be there. I teach and I feel that being professional is very important because teachers are not perceived as being professionals. If the principal ok's the teachers leave then discuss it with the principal. Remember that the college professor requires his/her students to be in class as well. |
- Posted by FlowergirlDeb2 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Sep 19, 02 at 23:45
I think that too many teacher's are burned out, and that not being at an open house shows complete disrespect for the parents and students. They should be reprimanded somehow, if they care. |
- Posted by sheilajoyce (My Page) on Sun, Sep 22, 02 at 20:47
Lots of our teachers take or teach college classes after school. Also, some of them are club sponsors or coaches and have planned activities with their students. |
Lots of teachers are also working second jobs just to pay the bills. Separate thought: I find it interesting how many public school teachers have their own kids in private school. |
Some secondary schools hold two or three different back to school nights - one for each grade level. The PE, Art, and Music teachers, who teach ALL grade levels, take turns going, so that one member of the department is there to greet parents. And many of the teachers take graduate courses, which are condensed. Missing one evening's class would be the equivalent of missing two weeks of a regularly scheduled college course, so they can't afford to miss it. |
- Posted by Talley_Sue_NYC (My Page) on Fri, Oct 18, 02 at 19:18
I'd still complain to the principal, because then she/he can schedule a set of Open House nights or something. |
- Posted by NancyLouise (My Page) on Sat, Oct 19, 02 at 9:59
I wouldn't get upset about it. There may be very legitimate reasons why 2 teachers didn't show up. Open houses are "meet and greets" very casual. You check out the school, your child's schedule,etc. Not a time for conferences or indept talks with teachers. I don't see the problem. NancyLouise |
I know that a couple of our grade school teachers also coach volleyball and have had games on Open House night. The Open House was scheduled after the games. Keep an open mind about why those teachers weren't there. It is always tough for anyone to have to decide between two important activities. |
I agree teachers should attend Open House nights, but do keep in mind teachers are human and could actually be sick or have a sick child at home. Classes, part time jobs, other school related duties and sickness are some excusable reasons to miss, but other than that a teacher should show up at Open Houses to show support for their students and school. I don't think it would be fair to deduct a paycheck for not attending an open house because many teachers put in a lot of extra hours before and after school and on weekends that they are never compensated for. If I got paid by the hour I would make an awesome amount of money! BigMac, I personally don't know of any teachers that can afford to put their children in private school nor do I know any that would choose to. Maybe it depends on where they teach or live. |

Only one priest has the inner strength to tackle it - but success in his nightmarish endeavour threatens to carry a high price.

WASHINGTON - U.S. Representative Denny Rehberg introduced legislation on Thursday that would exempt Montana from certain parts of the Antiquities Act, which allow the President to designate land as a National Monument.
Rehberg took the action after recent news of an internal memo from the U.S. Department of Interior that outlines plans to designate some 13 million acres of land in several Western States as national monuments; the proposal includes roughly 2.5 million acres in Montana.
Rehberg has characterized the proposal as a "land grab," and in a statement on Thursday, he noted, "For more than a century, the Antiquities Act has served a valuable function in the preservation of America's natural treasures, making it all the more tragic that it's now being misused for a 13 million-acre land-grab. When it comes to land in Montana, we've got a long-standing tradition of working together to find consensus-based solutions. Circumventing that tradition by unilaterally carving out millions of acres with the stroke of a pen is not the American way."
The legislation introduced by Rehberg would requires Congressional approval of new National Monument designations in Montana.
(March 3, 2010) U.S. Representative Denny Rehberg is taking action against what he's calling an attempted land grab by the federal government.
Rehberg has joined other members of the Western Caucus in adding his name to a letter sent to the Department of the Interior regarding proposed monument sites throughout the west.
In the letter, the Western Caucus has four requests of Secretary Ken Salazar.
They want all pages of an internal draft document regarding the proposed monuments; any maps or other documents detailing the proposed list of monuments; any record of communications with anyone outside the department related to the monuments; and any documents and notes relating to "brainstorming" sessions concerning the monuments.
Rehberg spokesman Jed Link says the boundaries for the monuments are unclear.
One of the proposals is for a 2.5-million acre monument in northeast Montana, an area larger than Yellowstone National Park.

I purchased a 21" Craftsman walk-behind (non-self propelled) mower in 2000 that I used for 10 years on a 1/10th acre lot (still works fine). We moved into a new home on a 1/2 acre property two years ago and it now takes us about 2-2.5 hours to mow our fairly flat lot. Since moving in, we've been debating a mower upgrade. We've talked about a rider (all neighbors have them), but are leaning towards a walk-behind because of the exercise. Mostly, we'd just like a little reduction in the mowing time and effort (especially in the summer when it approaches 100 degrees).
A coworker mentioned to me that a good self-propelled mower would help us quite a bit. Can anybody comment on this? I've narrowed my choices down to a Honda HRR216VKA, Toro 20332 and a Toro SR4 (this last one would be a reach in affordability). 99% of the time, we mulch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

I mow a 1/4 acre and I own a John Deere JS46 mower. Love the mower and I can knock mine out trimming and all in no longer than an hour. Not trying to sell the JD mower, but I've been really happy with it, but I'd also give the high end Honda's a good look too. Solid machines, no doubt. If you were to look at a rider for your size lot, I'd give serious consideration to either a Snapper or a small Simplicity. Both have deck sizes around the 30" mark and would excel on a small lot. |
Have you considered that new Toro Timemaster? There is some talk on these further down the forum. |
911radioman - I haven't read anything about John Deere walk-behinds, I'll do some research. tomplum - I have looked at the Timemaster and from the size alone, it is impressive. I read some horror stories on the web since it was just released and has typical 1st-release problems. The only issue is the price; it is about double what I wanted to spend. |
Spend the cash now for a new Snapper rear engine riding lawn mower---or---spend a lot later in Doctor bills, especially new knees, etc. Anybody who thinks mowing that much grass with a push mower will be fun, hasn't been at the mowing game for very long! Sheesh: "Buy them shoes, send them to school, and they eat the books"! rj |
I just got a Toro Timemaster yesterday because the John Deer 14sb bit the dust and torqued a bolt off in the spindle. I was going to get the new 25 inch Ybravo but it was expensive...1499 and there were no dealers anywhere for hundreds of miles. I came very close to getting it but fell for the 30 inch toro when I saw how compact it was. Handles fold up so nice I can get it in my SUV. It was only $1000 at the toro dealer...same as Home Depot. ...and it was SO much wider. I used it this weekend and it cleaned up the yard really well...noticibly faster. I could push it under pine trees just fine. It handles just like the John Deere...mostly because the engine is set back by the rear wheels because of the belt drive system so it's balanced...easy to lift and turn..really easy. Personal pace system seems rugged. The mower blades come outside of the wheels by 1/2 inch or so so it's actually nicer to trim with. The variable speed Pace system is very responsive and tight...like my Kirby vacuum cleaner except no reverse. No clippings to be seen after running over the yard. I can't do the wet spots any better than the JD..it's heavier but the footprint is bigger. No improvement. I can almost span the little "creek" I have where the sump pumps to the surface in wet season. Toro starts like a Honda...really easy. Electric start seems heavy and useless by comparison. This thing seems built like a tank but maneuverable...I know the flat deck is not meant for wet grass and that there are no high lift mulch blades yet but give it a while. I grabbed the first ones that appeared on the shelves here in Chicago this weekend. No dealer has any personal experience to speak of. I sort of feel that they might be in short supply once folks find out how easy they are to run. I'm not sure on cut quality...it was the first cut of the season and the yard was very uneven. It sliced through the thick stuff like butter taking off 1-2 inches but I'm not sure it can whip off the top 1/2-1 inch. Yard looks tended to. We'll see. |

Bought my Snapper RER 28" cut mower in 2003 and have done almost nothing except ordinary maintenance. Living in Florida, it is used weekly except during a couple of cooler months. Lot size to cut is smaller than yours - mine is about 1/4 acre interrupted by 3 beds containing trees an bushes - lot of curved cutting. Would I buy another if mine were to fall apart for some reason? Yes. I bought a riding mower because of time, my age, and a much better choice of cutting heights. |

And by "haters", I mean those who complain every time a Pixar character is added to the theme parks - Nemo's two attractions, Monster's Inc, the Block Party Bash, etc. You know who you are. If you've complained "I'm sick of seeing Pixar characters, I want to see the Disney characters!!", then I'm talking to you! :-)
It is my assertion that it is not Pixar characters that keep invading the parks, but rather the newest popular character, regardless of where they originated. The problem is that since the Pixar era began, there have not been any good Disney characters created. Here is my argument:
Year --- Disney ---------------------------- Pixar
1995 --- Pocahontas ------------------------ Toy Story
1996 --- Hunchback of Notre Dame -----------
1997 --- Hercules --------------------------
1998 --- Mulan ----------------------------- A Bug's Life
1999 --- Tarzan ---------------------------- Toy Story 2
2000 --- Emperor's New Groove --------------
2001 --- Atlantis -------------------------- Monster's Inc
2002 --- Lilo & Stitch / Treasure Planet ---
2003 --- Brother Bear ---------------------- Finding Nemo
2004 --- Home on the Range ----------------- Incredibles
2005 --- Chicken Little --------------------
2006 --- ----------------------------------- Cars
2007 --- Meet the Robinsons ---------------- Ratatouille
So here's my question. Since the Pixar era began, what movies that Disney released do you feel are under-represented in the parks? What characters has Disney created that are memorable enough to have a presence? If you think the Pixar characters are too prevalent, then it follows that you think the Disney characters of the same era should have moved in instead, no? I think we can all agree that Stitch is a great character - and he's everywhere. Pocahontas is in Animal Kingdom. Hunchback, Hercules, and Mulan all got their own parades at MGM, I think. But Emperor's New Groove? Home on the Range? Chicken Little? You really want to see any of those atrocities in the parks? I certainly don't.
In my opinion, Disney is not simply "using just the Pixar characters", they are using the best characters available to them created in the past 13 years, regardless of who created them.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Watchdog Group Cites Fracking and Pa.'s 'Revolving Door'
BUFFALO, N.Y. The oil and gas industry frequently argues that fracking means jobs. "This appears to be especially true for former regulators and other public officials in Pennsylvania," finds the Public Accountabiity Initiative, a watchdog group based here.
Numerous top government officers and environmental regulators in Pennsylvania have either left their public jobs for careers in the oil and gas industry or come to government from the industry, according to the report. "The revolving door trend in Pennsylvania raises questions about whether regulators are serving the public interest or private industry interests in their oversight of fracking," the group states in a summary of its findings. (Click here to read the full report as a pdf)
The following are major findings from the report:
While media outlets have written about some of these connections independently, such as Gov. Ridge's Marcellus Shale Coalition lobbying, the Public Accountability Initiative says its report is the first extensive look at the revolving door between the gas industry and all of the Pennsylvania government entities responsible for its regulation. In preparing this report, the advocacy group says it found several striking revolving door connections that have previously gone unreported:
- Former Gov. Ed Rendell and his Environmental Protection Secretary Kathleen McGinty have a financial stake in companies servicing the fracking industry. Rendell and McGinty are operating partners in Element Partners, a private equity firm that invests in the energy sector. Several of the companies serve the natural gas industry, such as 212 Resources, Agility Fuel Systems, and Environmental Drilling Solutions.
- Secretary of Environmental Protection Michael Krancer's Executive Deputy Secretary for programs is now a lobbyist for Shell. John T. Hines, the author of a 2011 leaked e-mail revealing a new DEP policy requiring Krancer's approval of all notices of violation in the Marcellus Shale, is now a government relations advisor for Shell Oil Company.
- Husband and wife Eric and Sarah Battisti left the Rendell administration to lobby for the gas industry. While Sarah Battisti's departure for BG Group was noted in the press, it was not reported that her husband, Eric Battisti, a senior deputy secretary to Rendell, left to work for Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney where he lobbies for EQT and Williams Companies.
- Several prominent law firms that are destinations for regulators and public officers after they leave government are members of the Marcellus Shale Coalition. Buchanan Ingersoll Rooney, K&L Gates, and Blank Rome are three of the most renowned law firms in Pennsylvania, and many regulators and public officers are hired after leaving government or come to government from one of the three firms. All three also lobby for companies engaged in fracking and are members of the gas industry advocacy group, the Marcellus Shale Coalition.
The Public Accountability Initiative describes itself as a "nonprofit, public interest research organization investigating power and corruption at the heights of business and government."

Easy Fast Loans For The Unemployed
Just because your unemployed does not mean you cannot still get an easy fast loan. The reason why, finance lenders make good money by providing loans to those who find themselves in a desperate situation.
Any financial lender who will risk lending money to a person while they are going through a period of unemployment should be applauded for their understanding and their trust. Of course, because the lender is taking a risk, they will charge a higher interest rate then compared to their normal mainstream loans.
Bearing this in mind, you are in a very good position to build a relationship with your lender.
They take the risk, you prove your not a risk. They take the risk you will not make your repayments and you make sure you pay on time every time.
Once you prove to your financial lender that you are not a risk then they will offer you a lower interest rate, immediate approval and an extended period to repay the amount you have borrowed.
So how do you start? To access easy fast loans for the unemployed firstly you find a lender and only ask for a small amount of money. You borrow the money and make the repayments on time, or even better, the day before the payment falls due.
Pay off your first small loan and then ask for another but slightly larger amount this time and repeat the process. You will quickly prove to the lender that your not a risk and deserving of borrowing money as circumstances dictate because you can be trusted.
If you fail, then you will never get a loan whilst on unemployment benefits, anywhere – period!
To find a lender, search online using the search keywords in quotes of "easy fast loans for the unemployed". The search will return many lenders who are prepared to lend money to unemployed persons.
Look through each website looking for fees and charges, interest rate, schedule of repayments and requirements such as proof of identity and benefits.
Many lenders will offer a no credit history check, but remember, that might mean a higher interest rate. Be diligent in your online searches, take notes and make good sound comparisons.
If you are wise and do not expect too much from a lender, you will find online easy fast loans for the unemployed.

Fast Decision Loans Unemployed
Fast Decision Loans Unemployed
Having sourced many a loan during our period of unemployment we found the best fast decision loans unemployed was a payday loan. Lenders look upon unemployed as a risk, but there are still lenders willing to give the unemployed person a go.
Many lenders have a requirement that you must be employed before they approve any loan.
That includes some low document loans and no credit check loans. But, some lenders will lend you money during your period of unemployment.
We searched online for our lender. We looked at a website very similar to this and read the material on the site. We were then able to make an informed decision as to how we would seek out our lender.
The first thing we did was to search online for unemployed loan lenders. We looked at each site and narrowed this down to two lenders. We made our application and one lender approved our application quickly.
You see, fast loans decisions can only be made online. The reason why is you do all the work, you fill in the application form and submit it with any other requirements the lender may have.
No employee has had to speak with you or fill the form in for you.
That just leaves the loans approval officer to look over your application and any documents before making an immediate decision. You could have your money approved within hours by applying online.
Of course other unemployed fast decision loans are payday loans and we have discussed this extensively on our site. Payday loans are quick and made for one purpose, to be repaid in quick time.
Personal unemployed loans are often taken over a longer period with lower rates of repayment to fit in with you managing your financial affairs. By having low repayments, means you have more money to live on, especially with unemployment benefits.
So fast decision loans unemployed, search online, make your comparisons and apply to the lender that meets your circumstances the best.

These were beautiful earrings, bigger than expected. The setting is nice, and they were very light in color, but you could still tell they were purple and not clear. These were a birthday gift for my mom, who loves purple. She loved them, and we got a great price; everybody wins!
Mary, Jeffersonville, IN – April 2014
Given as a gift and received an "they are ok" response.Color is a bit anemic, very faint. Also, these should be packaged in a small box instead of the little bag that they came in. A nice box would enhance the presentation of the gift.

Got these earrings along with a matching necklace for a Christmas gift for our daughter. She hasn't seen them, but we have and they looked really nice and matched up quite well.

Transit of Venus Story
Rare Alignment
A transit of Venus occurs when Venus passes directly between the sun and earth. This alignment is rare, coming in pairs that are eight years apart but separated by over a century. The most recent transits of Venus were a thrilling sight in June 2004 and 2012, with the next transit of Venus pair occurring in December 2117 and 2125.
Global Expeditions
Observers from two locations on earth see two distinct paths (red and blue) of Venus across the sun. The slight difference in times Venus takes, moving from edge to edge, can mathematically unlock the distance from earth to the sun, and thus the size of our solar system. For 17th & 18th century transits, intrepid explorers set out to answer a leading question of mankind. Not all of them made the http://panaceahealthsolutions.com/buy-levitra-low-price voyage back home.
Mystery of "Black Drop"
Just before or after the circular black dot of Venus seems to touch the edge of the sun, a peculiar "black drop effect" sometimes occurs between the contact points. A ligament of darkness smears the juncture of cheap generic cialis Venus and the sun. You can see a similar anomaly if you almost pinch your thumb and forefinger together. Just before you sense contact, a black feature spans your two digits.Transits Lead the Hunt
Once again, transits are on the leading edge of new discoveries. The NASA Kepler mission and others are using the transit method to find habitable planets around distant stars. The Kepler spacecraft monitors over 150,000 stars, looking for periodic dips in their light curves which reveal the generic viagra available online pharmacy presence of companion planets. You, too, can join this quest for new worlds.
Get Your Gear
Midwest Treasure: TROVE
Art exhibits, family activities, a bus tour, historic artifacts, lectures, webcasts, telescope viewing, and more complemented the visual spectacle near the Michigan-Indiana border. This hub of 2012 transit of Venus activity in Michiana celebrated the math, science, history, and art of the celestial phenomenon.

Plot the amount of light detected by a spacecraft as it observes a planet transiting a star.
Background: There are several ways to find new planets. First, scientists can sometimes measure the http://revistaneon.net/uk-cialis wobble of gay levitra the parent star caused by the gravity of the hidden offspring planet. Second, they can detect a Doppler shifting of the star's light spectrum as the orbiting planet repeatedly moves toward us, then away. Third, they can look for dips in brightness that reveal planets blocking out a little light as the planets orbit the star within our plane.
The Kepler spacecraft is monitoring over 150,000 stars simultaneously as it looks for planets around distant stars. For comparison, imagine looking down from a skyscraper at 150,000 streetlights that are miles away and you hope to see some gnats flying in front of a few lights. If the insect passes in front of the streetlight along your line of sight, the amount of light you see will dip by a minute amount. It may be too little for your eyes to notice, but the spacecraft is capable of discerning such small dips in brightness.
In this activity, the light from a star covers several pixels on a simulated computer chip. From afar, the star would appear as a mere point of light, but the closer you get the more you can see and count distinct pixels. For simplicity, students will count the number of we like it levitra online canada no prescription pixels that reach the link for you viagra pfizer online sensor for the duration of a transit. A recurring, periodic dip in brightness suggests a planet is orbiting the host star, whereas a random dip in brightness may indicate any object, such as a nearby asteroid in our own solar system, is intersecting the light path between the star and the spacecraft.
To Do: Print or display the 15 snapshots, left, of a transit. On graph paper, plot the numbers of yellow squares (y-axis) per unit of time (x-axis). You may want to begin with multiple t=0 pixel counts to show the normal state of the scene with no transit, from which the curve can begin. The units of time are not defined for this activity, but a transit may last for several hours. Compare the www.boehler.org graph derived by the students with actual data from a transit, right. To speed up the activity in a class, assign each kid the t=0 time frame just to make sure they are all on the same track. Then have the kids choose a partner to count the lone second snapshot you designate for them.
Party like it's 2012!
If you are hosting a Transit of Venus celebration, here are some items to consider. See the 2004 Celebration in Mishawaka, IN, for scenes of an observing site.Months before:
- Scout out event sites, with consideration given to unobstructed sight-lines, security, parking, restroom availability, electricity, internet access, and absence of the best place cialis pharmacy lights with glare (for telescope viewing later that night).
- Secure permission from landowner or government entity to conduct event at that site.
- Get approval for tents or trailers to be set up adjacent to or near scopes, especially for telescope owners who come from afar.
- Invite amateur astronomers with telescopes and solar filters to set up their scopes for public viewing. Ask them to stay beyond twilight for stargazing session and planet-viewing (Mars and Saturn).
- Invite local musicians or school bands to perform John Phillip Sousa's Transit of Venus March or other ToV music.
- Put out a call for Transit of Venus art through a local art organization or advocate.
- Purchase solar viewing equipment, whether simple or major. Realize that with just solar shades, Venus is small--near the limit (about a minute of arc) of what the human eye can discern. Don't wait for last minute when supplies are hard to get.
From May 1 to June 9, 2012, the Northern Indiana Pastel Society will coordinate an art exhibit by its members that features the transit of Venus and the curious realm of exo-planets. The call for art invites members to use ideas such as Venus, planets, sun, moon, stars, space, sky, sunset, new worlds, habitable planets or related themes.
Concurrently, the exhibit cases flanking the vignovin.com library entrance foyer will house historical artifacts from previous transits of ganeric cialis Venus, including original contents from the US Naval Observatory (USNO) expeditions.
The two events support a collection of transit of Venus attractions, known as TROVE, in the Michiana region. Plan a visit to to this and other TROVE sites for a complete transit of Venus experience.

A Special Session of the American Astronomical Society (AAS)
History of Astronomy Division (HAD)
Sunday, Jan 08, 2012, 1:00 PM - 3:40 PM
The June 6, 2012, transit of Venus, completing the pair that began on June 8, 2004, will represent the last chance to observe one of these rare events from Earth until the next pair, December 11, 2117, and December 8, 2125. This year's transit will be extremely advantageous as almost all the visit our site generic viagra cheap most populated areas of the Earth will be able to see at least some of the transit: the only land masses from which no part of the transit will be visible are the western Iberian peninsula, the western part of Africa, the eastern part of South America, and Antarctica. We invite presentations on both important historical aspects of levitra online pharmacy the transits of Venus and modern applications. From a historical point of view, the occasion is of importance in providing a point of departure for a reconsideration of the singular importance of the transits in the history of astronomy and in the geographical exploration of the Earth, which led to massive preparations and far flung expeditions in the eighteenth century in pursuit of the Halleyan project of www.breinweb.nl determining the solar parallax. The nineteenth-century transits also played out against a background rivalries among the great European world empires (England, Russia, France, and the U.S.) then at their height and then sliding imperceptibly but ineluctably toward the Great War. The 2012 transit offers an opportunity to revisit the important expeditions of the past—many of which have been catalogued and some noted by markers or restored—and to engage in "experimental archaeology," the reconstruction of past observations, including of the Black Drop and luminous aureole, about which it was and www.karlbarth.nl is often mistakenly stated that, particularly for the earliest observations, it is produced by refraction by the atmosphere of Venus. Possible observations of special historical interest in 2012 could include some using historical instruments and techniques or observing from the same locations as earlier observers. But far from being an entirely retrospective exercise, the history of transit observations defines critical problems to be addressed by modern high-resolution observations from Earth and space. These include the detailed profiling of the atmosphere of Venus with ground-based and space-based observations (from satellites meant to study the link for you viagra pharmacy in india Sun) and the study of a local analogue to exoplanet transits across their parent stars, the focus of many contemporary astrophysical investigations and space missions whose key astrophysical goals are to understand the prevalence and structure of planetary systems very different from our own solar system. In short, though often said to be of strictly historical interest owing to the fact that the Halleyan solar parallax method has long since been superseded, transits of Venus continue to be of great importance to astronomers and astrophysicists working at the cutting edge of important problems of our own day.

Cleveland Astronomical Society Meeting
Thursday, March 1, 2011
Speaker: Chuck Bueter
Observers on the North Coast are well-positioned to see the last transit of Venus in our lifetimes on Tuesday, June 5, 2012. The celestial phenomenon begins shortly after 6:00 p.m. EDT, when the inner planet appears to straddle the solar limb and is visible until the sun sets with Venus halfway across the sun. In past centuries, transits of Venus were significant as nations collaborated to quantify the buy levitra without prescription size of the solar system and embarked on global expeditions. Today the rare alignment exemplifies how astronomers detect planets orbiting distant stars using the transit method. We have a front row seat, and can view with our eyes what the NASA Kepler Mission hopes to capture many light years away with its sensitive photometer. With some tips, caveats and legal disclaimers, Chuck's presentation will encourage you to do what Momma (and smart astronomers) generally advise against--stare at the sun. Bring safe observing opportunities to your community, participate actively in a transit of Venus experiment and marvel at the solar system in motion on June 5, 2012.

44 Guidelines for Selection of Speed Reduction Treatments at High-Speed Intersections
The distance that the treatment extends from the intersection proper should be related to
stopping sight distance and/or distance to achieve the desired deceleration at a comfortable
deceleration rate. The distance should also be selected to work in concert with other treatments
or features such as in-pavement markings at pedestrian crosswalks, lane drops or adds, or warn-
ing signs. The markings have potential to draw additional attention to those warning signs and
to encourage drivers to reduce their speeds as they approach the intersection.
The standard width for longitudinal pavement markings is four inches. Wider pavement
markings generally range from 5 to 10 inches wide.
4.6.4 Speed Effects
No specific information was found to describe the impacts of wider longitudinal pavement
markings on speed at intersection approaches or roadway segments. The increased visibility and
comfort associated with wider pavement markings could lead to increased speed in some appli-
cations. Although this treatment may not directly affect reduced speeds, it may increase driver
awareness of an impending intersection, thereby indirectly reducing speeds if drivers perceive a
greater risk.
FHWA is conducting demonstration projects in Alaska and Tennessee to evaluate the impacts
and effectiveness of increasing the width of pavement marking edge lines from four inches to six
inches; a report is due in June of 2009.
4.6.5 Safety Effects
There is no conclusive data associated with the crash-reduction effects of wider longitudinal
pavement markings.
Cottrell (1988) conducted a before-and-after evaluation of wider pavement edge lines on rural
two-lane highways in Virginia and found no evidence to indicate any safety benefit.
Conclusive evidence suggests wider longitudinal pavement markings are easier for drivers to
see, which can contribute to roadway safety. (Gates et al., 2002) The greatest improvement in
visibility is achieved at night.
4.7 Roundabouts
4.7.1 Overview
The high-speed intersection treatments discussed in this section are widely used throughout the
United States, United Kingdom, France, and Australia. Roundabouts use intersection geometry to
reduce speeds and conflict points. These treatments can be applied to a variety of applications.
Design variations include roundabout type, size, number of lanes, and geometry. Secondary effects
and considerations should include operations, right-of-way, access, horizontal and vertical geom-
etry, and driver expectancy.
4.7.2 Applicability and Considerations
A roundabout is a type of circular intersection with specific design and traffic control features
to ensure that travel speeds on the circulatory roadway are typically less than 30 mph (50 km/h).
These features include channelized approaches and geometric curvature. (FHWA, 2000b) The
following qualities distinguish a roundabout from other circular intersections:
OCR for page 44
Treatment Descriptions 45
� Yield control is provided on all entries,
� Right-of-way is given to circulating vehicles,
� Pedestrians can cross only the roundabout approaches (behind the yield line),
� Parking is not allowed within the circulatory roadway or at the entries, and
� Vehicles circulate in a counter-clockwise direction.
Roundabouts have been designed to improve some of the safety and operational deficiencies
that occur in other types of circular intersections, such as traffic circles and rotaries. The
specific design features of a roundabout can reduce speeds and the number and severity of
Roundabouts are appropriate for locations with a high crash frequency or severity, intersec-
tions where queues need to be minimized, intersections with irregular geometry, intersections
that need to accommodate U-turns, and areas with a large amount of right-of-way available.
Pedestrians are accommodated at a roundabout by crossings through splitter islands located
around the perimeter of the roundabout. Roundabouts potentially are difficult for visually
impaired pedestrians to navigate. NCHRP Project 3-78, Crossing Solutions at Roundabouts and
Channelized Turn Lanes for Pedestrians with Vision Disabilities, provides additional information
on the impacts roundabouts have on visually impaired pedestrians.
At single-lane roundabouts (see Exhibit 4-12), bicyclists have the option to mix with traffic
or use the pedestrian crossings. At multilane roundabouts, bicycle paths should be separate and
designated from the circulatory roadway, for example, by providing a shared bicycle-pedestrian
Landscaping placed on the center island of a roundabout may need to be maintained to keep
the intersection aesthetically pleasing and to manage intersection sight distance. A maintenance
program should be developed for the landscape design of a roundabout. (FHWA, 2000b)
4.7.3 Treatment Layout/Design
Roundabouts can be adapted to a variety of user and vehicle types based on the environment,
number of lanes, and space used by the intersection. Identifying the proper dimensions of the

46 Guidelines for Selection of Speed Reduction Treatments at High-Speed Intersections
key design features--including an appropriate design vehicle--is critical to ensure proper oper-
ations and safety for all users at roundabouts (FHWA, 2000b).
To distinguish roundabouts from other types of circular intersections, key design features such
as a central island, splitter islands, circulatory roadway, yield lines, pedestrian crossings and, in
some cases, an apron, have been defined and are shown in Exhibit 4-13.
A mountable apron may be designed around the perimeter of the central island to provide
additional width required for tracking through a single-lane roundabout. Large vehicles may use
the entire circulatory roadway at double-lane roundabouts to track and maneuver. (FHWA,
Single-lane, four-leg roundabouts have a typical daily service volume of approximately 20,000
entering vehicles per day. Two-lane, four-leg roundabouts have a typical daily service volume of
approximately 40,000 entering vehicles per day. (FHWA, 2000b)
4.7.4 Speed Effects
Roundabouts have the potential to lower speeds to allow drivers more time to react to poten-
tial conflicts. Traffic measured at 43 locations revealed that the geometry yields 85th-percentile
entry speeds between 13 and 17 mph. (Rodegerdts et al., 2007)
4.7.5 Safety Effects
One of the most significant benefits of roundabout installation is the overall improvement to
intersection safety. Crash reduction research for conversions of all types of intersections to
roundabouts (55 sites studied) found a 35% reduction in all crashes and 76% reduction in injury
crashes. Specifically for rural two-way stop-controlled intersections that have been converted
to roundabouts (10 sites studied), research found a 72% reduction in all crashes and an 87%

How to Make Your Eyes Look Younger
While many beautiful things have been written about eyes—not to mention countless songs—I'm going to throw out another eye truism about which absolutely no one waxes poetic: Eyes are the first place that really show your age. You've heard of people with gray hair who still look youthful (mostly men, but that's a topic for another day), but crinkly eyes? Have I made my point? No one says you look young despite the crepey lids, crow's feet, under-eye circles and bags. No one.
Being a 43-year-old woman with a job and kids, the demise of my eyes has been in, well, sharp focus lately. Although it takes time for eyes to get old looking (collagen needs to degrade, blood vessels need to give out, sun damage needs to leave its mark), the cumulative effect seems to have hit me overnight.
Until very recently, okay, until an hour ago, when I met with one of my favorite makeup artists, Sarah Lucero—Global Director of Education for Stila Cosmetics and an old (though you wouldn't know it in her case) friend—my strategy for dealing with my aging eyes has been real simple, indeed: Cover Everything. With concealer, with eyeliner, with mascara, with eye drops, with sunglasses, with a pillow case—no ammunition too strong, no regimen too time-consuming.
I was telling Sarah all about my blitzkrieg approach to aging eyes, when she casually noted that there is actually a point of diminishing returns with this method, namely when you've spackled yourself so thoroughly that you just look artificial. Oh it's a look. Just not necessarily a younger one.
She gave me a smarter solution. First, cover less. Sarah said something that is still reverberating in my mind: "I like a little under-eye circle peeking through." Huh? Yes, even babies have some blue tones under their eyes; covering blueness completely is just weird. Back to that artificial thing. The point is to blend your concealer just in the innermost corners of your eyes, where those natural blue tones that everyone has appear more like a bruise (no one wants to look punched in the face, after all).
Number two: Step away from black. If your eyes are old and tired to begin with, why rim them in heavy black liner and charcoal shadow? You know what happens when you do? The makeup inevitably melts a bit with your body heat and turns grayish. In effect, using all this dark makeup is like guaranteeing you'll have dark circles later in the day. Instead, shake things up with brown (or burgundy) pencil and lighter shadow shades (think: beiges, pinks, and even sheer silver or gold). They define without overly darkening your eyes.
Last, curl your lashes and sweep on a coat of black (yes, black) mascara. The black mascara contrasts nicely with the lighter makeup elsewhere on the lid creating a "pop," as makeup artists call it. Translation: It makes you look more wide-eyed and awake. For its part, a lash curler is less invasive and every bit as effective, in my experience, as an eye job (which I'm not ruling out, full disclosure). It also separates your lashes so you don't need to brush on 25 coats of black mascara a la Kardashian (incidentally, you want to see what heavy eye makeup looks like on a 50-something versus a 30-something? Look at side-by-side photos of Kris and Kim. I rest my case: After a certain age, too much eye makeup just makes you look older).
So there you have it, how to look younger, in the blink of a minimally-made-up eye.
Necessary eye products: Cover Girl & Olay Simply Ageless Eye Corrector, Elizabeth Arden Smoky Eyes Pencil in Mulberry, Stila Eye Shadow Pan in Compact in Kitten, and BeneFit Cosmetics They're Real mascara in black.

As noted by the Los Angeles Times, "the anti-vaccination movement is a corner of the United States that is backsliding into medieval ignorance." The same holds true for the science deniers of safe, legal abortion.
If you choose to avoid standard, recommended vaccines such as measles, you are not merely putting your own health at risk -- you are choosing to do the same for all the rest of us. Sorry, folks, but that's the harsh reality.
If there is any diabetes takeaway at all from this blog, it is that I cannot stress enough the importance of getting your eyes examined on a regular basis. Don't be fooled into thinking that just because you have no symptoms, that everything is fine.
With increasing research, the message is becoming clear: For most people with uncomplicated heart disease, the risk of angina, arrhythmia or death is relatively low during sexual activity and comparable to the risk associated with mild to moderate physical exertion.
Just like learning a tennis swing or a dance step, we need to practice something until we can do it without even thinking about it. And if we need to practice something to that degree, it's helpful, if not necessary, to practice according to a regular schedule.
Understandably, many allergy sufferers are searching for a compelling and long-term solution to lessen their symptoms and improve their quality of life. There is one such treatment that, while effective, goes underutilized by the majority of allergy patients: immunotherapy.
The health and fitness industry is filled with unnecessary complexity and thousands of experts sharing conflicting ideas. If there is anything I've learned during 10 years of strength training, it's that mastering the fundamentals is more valuable than worrying about the details.
I'm not talking about the meat you put in a sandwich. I'm talking about celiac disease -- a serious genetic condition that television personality Joy Behar dubbed as "baloney" on the Jan. 20, 2015 episode of MSNBC's Morning Joe show. Let me say that again: a serious condition.
Coming up on my third colonoscopy, I am reminded that there is a stigma for medical issues of the colon. Before my very first colonoscopy when I was 15, I was laughed at by an acquaintance for saying that I would be getting a colonoscopy.
We all want what is best for our children, but the truth is that we are all in this together. Vaccines matter. They save lives. And when they are not given, the impact can be devastating and far-reaching.
What's better to drink, regular soda or diet soda? This is probably one of the most common questions fielded by nutrition and health experts. I think that the answer is clear -- diet soda -- but the choice is a false one.
With each hardship I've learned that I am a survivalist. I am resourceful. I am an alchemist of my surroundings. And I'm resilient beyond (even my own at times) belief.
I am not the kind of person who wants to forget trauma and suffering. Rather, I want to cherish it. I want to remember that life is fragile no matter my effort to prevent another cancer -- no matter my dad's effort to stay active, healthy and strong.
Why are we so judgmental as a society to those we sense are getting away with something, or being treated differently? If someone has that handicapped sticker, or is pre-boarding a plane with or without an obvious impairment, there is most likely an untold story. Many illnesses or disabilities can be invisible, and they could be fighting a battle we don't understand and cannot see.
Some philosophers have argued that the desire to act in a way that is consistent with one's values and sense of self is linked to well-being. But others have argued that learning to express thoughts and feelings that obscure one's true inner state is an important adaptation for successful living. A team of psychological scientists has been working to resolve this issue empirically.
We patients are not averages, we are human beings. We respond differently to diseases, treatment and their aftereffects, including possible relapses.
On January 28, it will be 90 days since diabetes Type 1 became a part of my 8-year-old daughter's life.
Just because you order a salad when you go out, (while thinking you are being virtuous), does not necessarily mean that it is good for your waistline. The mantra "I'll just have a salad" can be a dieter's dream or a diet disaster depending on what goes into that salad.
For the overwhelming majority of humans, the current flunami is a shaking, aching, sniffling, hacking inconvenience that will run its course, no matter what we do with our shiny degrees and cutting-edge prescriptions. As such, a visit to the doctor is generally a waste of time and dollars.

Soap, Moving and Pneumonia
Hello MoSoap customers and well wishers! It's Debra and my family has finally allowed me close to a computer after kidnapping me and taking me to a doctor. Seems painting the outside of our "new" old building at 12'oo at night in 40 degrees weather can make one ill, I have found out and now I have pneumonia. I thought we could have plumbing and a kitchen within a month of moving in, but learned I was overly optimistic with working on a 106 year old building and dealing with contractors. Every week I was told, "sure we will be there…" and no one showed. No drain, no running water…that makes it a difficult process in cleaning soap pots, molds and lye buckets. So needless to say, I have given up on trying to fill orders, make new soap or paint any longer. My husband and aunt do not want the store open until I am completely healthy again….I guess I can't complain about them for caring.
So my aunt Virginia has been kind enough to contact everyone and will be answering the phones for a while if you do call. I don't know what I would do without her and am grateful she lives close by to our new house. Again I will try to post more on the move and stocking up soap. Everyone has been so kind with well wishes on our move and what to see the progress I have made with the building. If you want to keep up with the drama of my new" house" and trying to set up the soapshop, you can find it on Facebook at Commercial Hotel of Ironton .
Again my apologizes to everyone who waited since February for me to ship in April and now canceling the orders but I just can't make enough new soap fast enough.
Lorine Schocknmyer permalinkApril 20, 2012 6:43 pm
Debra! Hope you get better soon. Pneumonia is not something to be taken lightly and we want you around for a long long time! We received the olive oil soap and sugar soap and love them so much! Thank you :) We will order as soon as you're up and running… Looking forward to watching the progress on your "new" home!
Julia Chapman permalinkApril 28, 2012 9:12 am
You should be proud of your family! They obviously care a great deal about you. Those of us who love your great soap know it's worth the wait!

Boston College will play Notre Dame on Nov. 21, 2015, in the first football game played at Fenway Park since the then-Boston Patriots left for a new stadium.
Fenway Sports Management made the announcement today. The game will be broadcast nationally at 7:30 p.m. as part of Notre Dame's Shamrock Series, in which the Fighting Irish play a "home game" once a year away from their South Bend, Ind., campus.
Fenway Park was once a regular venue for football. The Patriots called it home for five seasons before relocating to Boston College in 1969. In the last game played at Fenway, the Pats defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, 33-14.
Before the Patriots, several professional teams called Fenway home, including the Boston Redskins (forerunner of the Washington Redskins) and the Boston Yanks (forerunner of the Indianapolis Colts). College and high-school football games were also once a staple at Fenway.
BC and Notre Dame will play a hockey game on Jan. 4 as part of the annual Frozen Fenway series.

DW and I have just bought a 50" flat panel TV and are trying to figure out a creative way to house the new beast. Our ideal would be to have the thing on a cart that can swing around, so that it could be seen in the living room, or across the dining room from the kitchen.
Does anyone out there have experience with using carts big enough to hold a 50" flat panel TV set? Are they wicked expensive, can they hold a top-heavy display without risk of tipping, and is the mobility worth it? Oh, and where did you get whatever unit you may have gotten? |

I had to leave home for a month this summer, just a few months after seeding the yard around new construction. The housesitter neglected the yard and didn't mow it the entire time.
Now my yard is littered with three-foot-tall, red-stemmed, wheat-like grass that has aggressive stolons and is taking over. I haven't been able to identify this grass to determine if it is a week that needs addressing. If I had to guess, I would say that it is annual ryegrass, and that I should just let it grow all over the place and reseed with fescue and bluegrass in a month. What should I do? |

We should be able to help you but I think we may need some more information about you. Here are a few questions that would provide helpful information for us. Where do you live? |
I live in Vermont, zone 4. Tomorrow I will take some photos once the sun comes up. I seeded the yard with a mixture, which included about 20% annual ryegrass. The reddish tufts of grass were outgrowing the rest of my lawn but regular mowing seemed to keep them in check. After a month of neglect, however, I'm worried that it is crowding out the finer grass that you can see growing below it. |

I was in a flooring america store the other day ans saw this beautiful porcelain tile called gold coast. The store personnel said it was a by lexington but they didn't have a board to get the numbers from. it was one the floor laid as a sample.. I can't seem to find it online or anywhere else for that matter to show my husband. I see that mohawk has a gold cost, though very similar, it's not the same one. Can anyone help? |

Ok. So I went a little crazy and I decided to make a white satin dress. (perfect for a summer wedding!) I thought it would be fabulous to base my design on the Elizabeth Gathered-Waist Dress and make a dress that can be fully functional anywhere, not just down the isle. I dropped myself into several situations to demonstrate this. It can be worn as a truly 50s inspired dress, or with a leather jacket for evening, as a wedding dress, on a stroll in the summertime, and it fits right in in both the retro style and the modern style of architecture and areas. I love my little cut out detail in the front and I added a tie that can be in a front or back bow, or just wrapped several times and tucked in for a sleeker look. I was going for some major versatility. This contest is all about who can make vintage modern again the best, and who can keep the essence of the era while still staying up to date and I think my cutout front white gathered waist dress does just that. I paired it with nude peep toe canvas wedges, black heels, a black leather jacket, and shocking red lipstick and vivid blue eyeliner for a retro-modern feel. Enjoy!
This dress is made from ivory satin with poly satin lining. Fully lined and under stitched with ivory zipper back.
