Rate Dr. Matthew A. Lucks
Dr. Matthew A. Lucks's Ratings
I've been seeing Dr. lucks now for a few years. Recently I needed an adjustment on my medication and his staff was completely unwilling to help me. His office manager Laura was very rude and went so far as telling me I had to pay an additional $500.00 for special treatment. After paying the $500.00 Laura still won't return my calls or help me obtain the medication adjustment with the insurance company. I would not recommend seeing this doctor, you are just a number to him and the care he provides is superficial.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2606782].votes_count ]]
Dr. Lucks is a very caring physician. He is very knowledgable and takes the time to listen to the patient and his/her family. He treats the patient with respect. He even took the time to call me himself to inform me about my test results. It is extremely rare to find such a kind, compassionate physician who truly cares about his patients.

// FAQs
Are there additional entrance requirements for the Flight Operations major?
Yes, in addition to meeting the academic requirements for the college, those interested in the Flight Operation major must obtain a Class II or Class I aviation physical prior to registering for flight labs. Please visit the
Aviation Medical Examiners
site for providers in your area. Students must also provide proof of citizenship with a passport or driver's license and birth certificate. Students who are not United States citizens must also complete additional entrance requirements that may take up to six weeks to process.
Do I need to have 20/20 vision in order to be a professional pilot?
No. As long as your vision is correctable to 20/20, that does not prevent you from obtaining your pilot licenses and certificates.
Do you have an ROTC program at Westminster College?
Our ROTC program works through the University of Utah, although you will complete your flight training and college degree at Westminster College. Currently we have very strong Navy and Air Force students, some of whom have moved on to be ranked #1 in their respective military flight schools. Find out more about the
Navy ROTC
and the
Air Force ROTC
Are flight training costs included with normal tuition?
No, flight training costs are in addition to tuition costs. You will need to set up a flight training account with the cashier's office prior to your first flight. Your training will automatically be billed to this account after each flight. An information sheet that estimates additional
flight training costs
is available for your review.
information can be found on the Financial Aid website.
Where do you conduct your flight training?
Our Flight Operations Center is located at Salt Lake City International Airport. Our facilities are among the finest in the state. Operating from an international airport offers invaluable experience that is essential for professional aviators.
Is there a possibility of being hired as a Westminster flight instructor upon graduation?
Yes, we offer a CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) internship for those who complete this license. Our full-time instructors mentor the interns to help prepare them for CFI employment. We attempt to hire as many instructors as we can from our intern pool.
Is it possible to just take the flight training courses, and major in something other than Flight Operations?
Yes, students may choose to major in any program of study that is offered at Westminster while also completing their flight courses with us. Students who would like to explore other, non-aviation degree options are invited to meet with academic advisors who can customize a four year plan of study that best aligns with their career goals. A variety of exciting major and minor degree options are available!
How much does it cost to fly the flight simulators?
We have multiple flight simulators (technically called "flight training devices") at the Flight Operations Center and in our Flight Simulation and Testing Center. For a nominal lab fee (charged fall and spring semesters only), students have unlimited solo use of the PCATDs, the MFD, and software training resources during lab hours. Much of your training, and especially practice, can be accomplished in the simulators resulting in a significant cost savings.
Do you have a NIFA (National Intercollegiate Flying Association) flight team?
Yes, we started competing in 2002 and have been very successful. NIFA offers an opportunity to challenge and increase our student's aviation knowledge and skills. We have been recognized numerous times at the regional and national levels for our safety procedures. We have hosted the regional event, and have attended Nationals three times--in 2005, 2007, and 2008. In the 2007 National SafeCon, we won the
Loening Trophy
--recognizing us as the top all-around aviation program in the country. You can find out more about
What if I already have a Private Pilot certificate? Can I receive college credit for previous training?
Yes, Westminster College will consider prior learning credit for students who have received flight and ground training under FAR Part 141 for Private, and Commercial certificates, and Instrument ratings. For training conducted under FAR Part 61, the college will only consider awarding credit for the Private certificate and Instrument rating. Prior learning credit can be awarded after assessing the transfer student's knowledge and flight ability. Refer to the Aviation Studies
course catalog
for the latest policies.
Do you provide transportation from campus to the Flight Operations Center at Salt Lake City Int. airport?
No, students are responsible to provide their own transportation to and from the Flight Operations Center. This is a 9 mile drive from campus. UTA provides bus service from campus to the Flight Operations Center--with one downtown transfer. Students are also encouraged to carpool as many students are scheduled during the same flight blocks.
How do I schedule a visit to campus, the Flight Operations Center, and/or the Flight Simulation and Testing Center?
Call the Admissions Department at 1.800.748.4753 or 801.832.2200.

The Diocese
Bishop William Turner
Born near Preston in 1799, William Turner went to the English College in Rome in 1820. He was a fellow student there with Nicholas Wiseman, who later became the first Archbishop of Westminster. Returning to Lancashire in 1826, his ministry encompassed the poor parishes in central Manchester, exploding at that time thanks to the industrial revolution. He was a member of the Old Chapter and became Vicar General to the Bishop of the Lancashire District, Dr Brown.
William Turner was consecrated first Bishop of Salford by Cardinal Wiseman on 25th July 1851.
Bishop Turner had to contend with pressures caused by the Irish potato famine of the 1840s and the American cotton famine of the 1860s. He lost a tenth of his clergy through fever contracted during their service of the sick. Even so, he increased the number of parishes from 30 to 70 during his time of office. He promoted Catholic education at primary and secondary level. He introduced the Xaverian Brothers in 1854 and founded the Salford Catholic Grammar School in 1862. During his episcopate the female teaching orders of Loreto and the Faithful Companions of Jesus also came to the diocese, the Sisters of the Cross and Passion were founded, and with Alice Ingham of Rochdale he laid the foundations for the future Congregation of the Franciscan Missionaries of St Joseph. Bishop Turner attended the first Vatican Council (1869-1870), though ill-health forced him to return to England before the Council ended. He died in office at Salford on 12th July 1872.

Prince Oberyn Martell may be new to Game of Thrones, but he's had no trouble catching up with the way things are done in King's Landing. Just five episodes into this season, Oberyn has already snarked and orgied his way into our hearts. And now that Tywin's offered him a spot on the Small Council, he's basically the Anthony Kennedy of Westeros—only way more entertaining.
Still, for those of us who, ahem, haven't read the books, Prince Oberyn's arrival has come out of left field. So, we rang up actor Pedro Pascal to help us draw a better picture of his character, his role this season, and his upcoming battle with The Mountain. Highlights:
GQ: No one can ever just go to a wedding in Game of Thrones.
Or in life! No one can just go to a wedding, in life. So I guess the show is a reflection of reality: You get totally wasted. You get laid or you don't get laid. You have a good time or you have a bad one. Weddings are endless in their possibilities.
So what really brings Oberyn to King's Landing?
He has really bad blood with the Lannisters. His sister was raped and murdered in a typically brutal Game of Thrones fashion. Oberyn Martell blames the Lannisters, particularly Tywin and his dog Gregor Clegane, The Mountain. It's a fortuitous opportunity for Oberyn to attend Joffrey and Margaery's wedding, representing House Martell. Of course his true agenda is revenge.
Tell us more about the kingdom of Dorne.
It's very "Other." I think [show creators] David Benioff and Daniel Weiss see the opportunity to usher something new into the series now that everyone has become familiar with so many different regions and styles. The characters of Oberyn and Ellaria Sand, his paramour, definitely bring in a different flavor. As a fan before the audition even came around, I was struck by how different he was from everyone else and the way he shoves himself into the center of it all.
He's ballsy!
He doesn't give a shit! He doesn't consider the consequences of his actions, or, if he is considering the consequences, he looks forward to the confrontation.
Game of Thrones isn't exactly sex-shy, but Prince Oberyn may be the first pansexual character we meet living in this quasi-medieval world.
He's this person who does not regard these medieval morals that control most of this world. He doesn't behave the way he does to prove a point—it's simply what makes sense to him. To live life to its fullest and to never deprivehimself of experience. I think that goes into every element of his life: loving, hating, eating… and drinking!
A total epicurean.
Of course people want to live. Some of us—most of us, generally—want to live long lives. Maybe that life won't be as long if you spend it doing what you want, whenever you want, how you want. But Oberyn refuses to limit himself, and I think that's kind of brilliant. His behavior is not deviant or shameful, as it has often been depicted—not on Game of Thrones, but generally. It's not alternative for him; it's just logic. He takes pride in it. It's simple and it makes sense.
Oberyn tells Cersei Lannister and her father Tywin, "bastards are born of passion. We don't despise them in Dorne." Are Prince Oberyn and Ellaria immune to the daddy-issues that plague other characters?
Yes. They're protected obviously because in the culture of King's Landing it is so stigmatized. But I also think they are uniquely pioneers of their own morals. They're just punk rock!
How do "bastards" factor into the Game of Thrones universe?
The bastards in this story really highlight societal hypocrisies and these regulations that shape the way people are supposed to be living their lives. It's all so corrupt and controlling—a reflection of the powers within our reality, I find. People, love, and life are messy. Oberyn says that "bastards are born of passion" because so often life comes from lovemaking. And lovemaking and love relentlessly exist outside of the rulebooks. That is why bastards are such a marginal element of society. They're reflections of passions that can't be controlled.
What are Tywin's motives behind his appointment of Oberyn to the small council?
At the end of the day being on top is what's important at any cost. The Lannister name is what's important to Tywin—the power of sitting on the throne. Oberyn definitely has some bad blood with them, so to bring him into his inner circle—in order to continue moving his own agenda forward—is so typically Tywin. Oberyn participates because for him it's a game. He's enticed not so much by being in a position of power, but by getting closer to his enemy. The nugget that Tywin presents to him is the opportunity to face The Mountain.
Spoiler alert! We know—and got a peek in the trailer—that Oberyn will get his fight with The Mountain.
It was a lot of fight choreography that was stuff I'd never done before. I have mostly stage experience. So I've never done anything as challenging as this. We filmed in Croatia at the Hotel Dubrovnik, which is basically abandoned—it was destroyed during the war. There was this amphitheater right over the water that the crew set beautifully. It was the most insane production team I'll probably ever work with. It was thrilling and scary, grueling and beautiful, and delicious, and fun. David and Dan, in their adaptation, still refuse to completely betray the books, but they keep surprises hidden.
Folks don't last long in the GoT world. If you had to write an obituary for Oberyn what would it say?
Lived it. Loved it. Bye.
Fuck, marry, kill: Cersei, Ramsey, or the Red Priestess? Be specific with your reasoning.
My God. That's hard. To be obvious, I'd have to kill Ramsey because that guy's just wrong. I would never want to cross paths with somebody like that. Fuck the Red Priestess. And then I would marry Cersei because that's Lena Headey, and I love Lena Headey. I'm going to try and marry her, anyway.

I expected some sweet or deep flavor notes given the aging barrels, but all I found was a bitter grappa-esque sourness that came and went quick. A terrible dram.

Break the silence! Minnie Driver, Paul Adelstein and Alfred Molina in a true story about stillbirth. Ready for post production. Read more
Break the silence! Minnie Driver, Paul Adelstein and Alfred Molina in a true story about stillbirth. Ready for post production.
About this project
A film that breaks the silence about stillbirth.
Based on a true story, RETURN TO ZERO tells the story of a couple who, just weeks before the delivery of their son, are devastated to learn that he has died in the womb and will be stillborn.
Grief and trauma nearly destroys their marriage, until they learn they are again pregnant, and must navigate their way through a terrifying and turbulent pregnancy with the help of an empathetic doctor. With warmth, humor, and exploration of the human spirit RETURN TO ZERO casts a light on an all-too-often overlooked subject.
The Cast
Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting), Paul Adelstein (Private Practice), Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2), Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Kathy Baker (Edward Scissorhands), Andrea Anders (Better off Ted) and Sarah Jones (Vegas) star in this compelling story.
The Crew
Written/Directed by multi-award-winning film and commercial director Sean Hanish, and based on his own experience, RETURN TO ZERO attracted an amazing crew of talented craftspeople (including Producer Paul Jaconi-Biery, Emmy Award-winning Production Designer Ed Rubin, award-winning Director of Photography Harris Charalambous, and award-winning Casting Directors Ronnie Yeskel and Sharon Howard-Field) who helped bring this emotional story to life over 19 days of shooting in Los Angeles.
In addition, volunteers came in from all over the country to participate, bringing their time, energy and skill to bear on a story that needed to be told.
Our Story/Your Story
In the U.S. alone, there are 26,000 stillbirths a year, the same as the number of people killed in car accidents. And yet, no movie has yet tackled this difficult, and sadly silent subject.
Through the blog on our website, www.returntozerothemovie.com we've created a forum in which people from all over the world have come to share their stories of stillbirth. We've tapped into an amazing community of people who have been touched by stillbirth, and have been in awe of their response to the project.

What Happens Next
Once all post work has been completed on RETURN TO ZERO, it will be ready to be seen by millions. And that's where you come in...
We're Almost There!
RETURN TO ZERO is in the can! Our amazing editor is putting the film together, and now all we need is funds for music, post-production sound, and color correction.
And that's why we've come to Kickstarter. This film has been a community project from the beginning, and we believe that it's only through the community that we can get it pushed over the final hurdle and in front of an audience.
Why $50,000?
$50,000 is the minimum amount we need to complete the edit of the film, do a basic sound mix, and a minimal music package to get the film in shape to submit to film festivals. Once at a festival, distributors will see the film alongside an audience, the way it was meant to be seen. And we know that once they do, RETURN TO ZERO will be on its way to theaters.
But what if we do better than that? Here's what we do with the money:
$75,000 upgrades our sound and picture: allowing us a full professional mix, full color correction & upgrades our VFX shots for screening at festivals.
$125,000 upgrades our music exponentially allowing us to record a live orchestra for our score! We'd also be able to get a final professional Dolby mix on the sound track for distribution.
Anything above $125,000 upgrades us to have a marketing & promotional budget at the film festival we premiere at, to give us the very best chance for theatrical distribution.
Risks and challenges
The biggest challenge is to make the most of the footage we have -- color correction, post sound, music, ADR, these all take time and money. We're shooting for film festivals that have hard deadlines, and it's going to be a challenge to make those. And there will be stumbles along the way -- color correction that takes an extra few days, post sound that goes over budget.
We're all-in with this project, which can be scary, but we keep moving forward now matter what. We'll need time to identify the right post people to work with -- people who share our passion and have the creative vision to execute. This can take time, and can lead you down dead-ends now and then, which is frustrating, but part of the process.
On rewards: we will keep everyone updated as the project moves forward and we get closer to reward time. We take our obligations seriously, but there's always the chance of delays -- we will do our best to notify everyone in a timely manner. This model of filmmaking is new, and a real challenge, but we do appreciate all the assistance we've received so far, and will be diligent with rewards.
What are we up against?
Hollywood doesn't make movies like this anymore. Movies for grown-ups that tackle difficult subject matter with grace and humor.
And so, from the beginning it's been up to us to figure out how to get this project made. There's no studio involved, there are no big-money guys who will bail us out.
What we do have is an immensely talented group of people willing to work for a fraction of what they're worth to bring this story to life.
We know there's a huge audience for this movie, but if we can't finish the film, nobody will see it.
That's the challenge we've faced from Day 1. And we've gotten this far. Now we just have to finish the job.

BOSTON (AP) — Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose said he is making progress in his rehab from reconstructive knee surgery but his left leg "still isn't right."
Rose spoke with reporters after Wednesday night's 71-69 loss to the Celtics in Boston. He says he's doing more every week, but he still can't dunk. Rose said the team is leaving it to him to decide when he feels ready, but he says he won't let the injury change the way he plays. He wants to make sure he can handle being banged around inside.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Orlando Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu was suspended 20 games by the NBA after testing positive for steroids.
The NBA said Turkoglu tested positive for methenolone, an anabolic steroid. He began serving the suspension Wednesday night when the Magic hosted the Atlanta Hawks. Turkoglu took full responsibility for the positive test and apologized to the Magic organization, fans and fellow teammates. He said he took medication from a trainer in Turkey this past summer to help him recover from a shoulder injury and mistakenly neglected to check it against the NBA's list of banned substances.
NEW YORK (AP) — After 17 years fighting for NBA players, Billy Hunter might be down to his last, most difficult battle. This one is for his own job.
A lengthy report critical of seemingly every aspect of Hunter's leadership has given players plenty of reason to fire him as executive director of the players' association, and some will go to Houston for All-Star weekend with that intention.
His future is expected to be the focus of the players' meeting, unless there's a resolution beforehand. He's already been placed on indefinite leave, likely the first step in a termination that could be voted on during the meeting.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky received the news it dreaded when freshman forward Nerlens Noel was declared out for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee.
Noel tore his ACL on Tuesday night when No. 25 Kentucky lost at Florida. An MRI revealed the injury, and the 6-foot-10 forward will have surgery in the next two or three weeks. The projected recovery period is six to eight months.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson will need surgery to repair his left Achilles after the tendon was cut by a skate blade late in the second period against Pittsburgh.
The Norris Trophy winner last season as the NHL's top defenseman, Karlsson was cut by Penguins forward Matt Cooke's skate blade as the two tangled along the boards. Karlsson leads NHL defensemen with six goals, scoring three times in his previous four games. Karlsson immediately fell to the ice and was in visible pain. He needed help getting back to the bench and showed frustration, throwing his stick against the boards before disappearing down the runway.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Just more than 24 hours after firing Scott Howson, the Columbus Blue Jackets announced the hiring of Jarmo Kekalainen of Finland as the first European to be a general manager in the National Hockey League.
Kekalainen, director of amateur scouting with the St. Louis Blues 2002-10, held a news conference Wednesday in his native Finland at the same time the Blue Jackets Blue Jackets held theirs in Ohio.
A college football player who delivers a hit to the head of a defenseless opponent could be kicked out of the game next season under an NCAA proposal that took a step forward Wednesday.
The NCAA Football Rules Committee said it had unanimously approved strengthening of the penalty for intentional above-the-shoulder hits. The 15-yard penalty will now have an ejection tacked on, assuming the Playing Rules Oversight Panel approves the plan next month.
Player safety was the theme of the committee's three-day meeting in Indianapolis, with the ejection for targeting the most noticeable change fans will notice in 2013 across all NCAA divisions. The committee also tweaked the rule on below-the-waist blocks.
NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL insists it is ready to get the 2014 Super Bowl played at Met Life Stadium in New Jersey no matter what the weather conditions are early next February.
The NFL has contingency plans for all games, but with a winter storm hitting the Northeast just after this year's Super Bowl in New Orleans, there are concerns about the championship game being played for the first time outdoors at a cold-weather site.
Several reports indicate the NFL has discussed changing the day of game set for Feb. 2 if weather complications arise. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy would not offer specifics of the contingency plans, but says Wednesday "we will be prepared if we have to make adjustments."
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — After leading the Minnesota Vikings to a surprising playoff berth last season, coach Leslie Frazier had a contract option picked up for 2014.
The Vikings announced they exercised the fourth-year option, helping Frazier avoid what would have been a lame-duck season in 2013 while also giving the team some flexibility going forward.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A lawyer for Barry Bonds urged a federal appeals court to toss out the slugger's obstruction of justice conviction, saying a rambling answer he gave while testifying before a grand jury was not a crime.
Appellate specialist Dennis Riordan argued that Bonds was not formally or specifically charged with the felony that he was convicted of committing. A federal jury in April 2011 found baseball's all-time home runs leader guilty of obstruction for saying he was a "celebrity child" when asked about injecting steroids.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Every University of Miami baseball player underwent testing recently for performance-enhancing drugs, including human growth hormone, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.
The testing for HGH is not typical for the school, according to the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the university has not authorized the information's release. But these are not typical times for the perennially strong program, which has been linked to Major League Baseball's latest drug mess. The school is awaiting the results, the person said.
SEATTLE (AP) — Fighting back tears while his hands trembled, Felix Hernandez signed a seven-year contract with the Seattle Mariners that makes him the highest-paid pitcher in baseball.
During a news conference, Hernandez officially signed his new deal that will be worth $175 million. The contract covers the final two years of his current deal that was scheduled to run through the 2014 season and adds five additional years through the 2019 season.

Montana's fisheries were hit by powerful floods the spring of 2011. Flooding put small towns underwater, washed out Fishing Access Sites and closed roads. FWP stream protection permits flew out the door later that summer as the repair work began.
A major oil spill on the Yellowstone River also affected fisheries.
On the Missouri River near Wolf Point, biologists doing larval fish sampling found a genetically confirmed wild pallid sturgeon larva, the first such find in the Missouri River Basin.
For these and other stories of Montana's fishing waters, see FWP's 2012 Fishing Newsletter.
The stocking of many of Montana's high mountain lakes is a legacy of our grandfathers and their friends who strapped on packs with milk jugs full of fry to transport them to secluded lakes. Stocking today is done by helicopter.
Mountain Lakes in the South Fork Flathead drainage like Woodward Lake are part of a broad-scale conservation program aimed at restoring westslope cutthroat trout populations in 21 headwater lakes that were historically stocked with nonnative trout. To date 16 lakes have been restored.
Leslie Nyce, FWP conservation technician in Hamilton, is holding a large brown trout caught while electrofishing on the Bitterroot River. Fish caught in this annual sampling process are released and Nyce assures us this beauty slipped happily back into the river. Some lucky angler may get their own close look at this brown trout.
Last spring the flood control reservoirs upstream of Lewistown performed as intended when hit by high spring run-off, but when the emergency spillway on East Fork Reservoir let loose flooding occurred in some areas and washed out the East Fork access road. For a full report on how fish did in the area see FWP's 2012 Fishing News Letter.
FWP fisheries crews were unusually busy last year. A late spring melt followed by extreme high water and an associated oil spill on the Yellowstone River consumed much of the season.
At Fort Peck Dam spillway anglers had a great angling experience in 2011 and a great view of a very rare event. Large numbers of adult paddlefish migrated up the Missouri River and congregated at the base of the spillway. When the spillway shut off, FWP rescued 18 paddlefish that were trapped in a channel between the river and the spillway and returned them to the river.
FWP's Aquatic Invasive Species Program was granted authority to conduct mandatory watercraft inspections, and provided $1.14 million in funding by the Montana Legislature. The boost enabled FWP to more than double its summer watercraft inspection program. Stacy Schmidt of the AIS Program is shown here doing AIS monitoring below Holter Dam near Helena.
The fall of 2011 provided a bumper crop of high quality kokanee eggs for 2012 stocking. Three million eggs from Lake Mary Ronan and 500,000 from Little Bitterroot Lake were spawned by the Flathead Lake Salmon Hatchery.

When playing KingHunt, there's that sense that a great game could eventually arise from promising beginnings. Currently, it's deeply reminiscent of Fruit Ninja but also full of untapped potential. Sometimes vague in its explanation, I suspect there will be numerous updates in KingHunt's future, leading to quite the hit. For now? Well, it's fun. I'll give it that.
Unlike Fruit Ninja, there's definitely a story contained within this slicer and dicer. Players traverse across 12 different medieval realms, defeating bosses and unlocking challenges. The core gameplay is the same throughout, with players using their finger to slice across numerous enemies at once, but it's a fun if familiar mechanic. The bosses are a little too easily defeated but watching the points rack up is rewarding enough.
With the benefit of the personality that characters bring over fruit, there's some fancy slicing action going on that looks really quite impressive. Along the way players can collect gems through regular play, as well as trinkets through a bonus stage. Problems lie, however, in the way in which KingHunt rarely advises on what's going on; instead leaving players to stumble through and figure things out for themselves. In particular, the concept of swiping through 'level up' badges isn't clearly defined, leaving one wondering what's going on at first.
While KingHunt might be a little rough around the accessibility edges and not as revolutionary as it'd like to be, it's still fun. It's understandably got some catching up to do given the time advantage that Fruit Ninja has. Fortunately, this title has all the necessary elements required to succeed and I'm confident it will improve over time. For now, enjoy the finely honed game mechanics and easy to learn gameplay.

2002 Jaguar X-Type Tire Size
Choose the correct rim size for your 2002 Jaguar X-Type. Then pick the correct stock tire size from the left to get a detailed explanation of the tire code. If you don't know the correct stock tire size, check the inside of your driver side door or owner's manual.
Front and Rear 205/55R16 91 |
205 |
This number indicates that your tire has a width of 205 millimeters. |
55 |
This number means that your tire has an aspect ratio of 55%. In other words, your tire's sidewall height (from the edge of the rim to the tire's tread) is 55% of the width. In this case, the sidewall height works out to be 112.75 millimeters. |
This letter denotes how your tire was constructed. Radial is the standard construction method for about 99% of all tires sold today.
16 |
The tire size was designed to fit rims or wheels that are 16 inches in diameter. |
91 |
This tire has a load index of 91, which means it's capable of carrying a load of 1353 pounds (615 kg) or less. A higher number means the tire can carry more weight. A lower number means the opposite. |
This tire has a speed rating of H, which means 130 mph (210 km/h) is the maximum speed that can be sustained for 10 minutes. A higher speed becomes dangerous. |

Shawnee County approves anhydrous ammonia seller
Published on -7/3/2012, 1:58 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Commissioners in Shawnee County have approved a permit for a north-central Kansas company to store and sell anhydrous ammonia fertilizer.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports (http://bit.ly/MSXqF7 ) the commission voted unanimously this week after hearing from several farmers about the need for a retailer in the area.
St. Marys-based J.B. Pearl Sales & Service plans to put up two 30,000-gallon anhydrous ammonia tanks at a Shawnee County site owned by the company northwest of Topeka.
Anhydrous ammonia is a noxious gas that is stored and transported in tanks as a pressurized liquid, then injected into the ground as a fertilizer.
Officials of J.B. Pearl say more than 700 similar facilities currently operate throughout Kansas.

Gillard government tinkering with super 'could prove costly'

The claim was made ahead of a meeting in Melbourne on Wednesday of Financial Services Minister Bill Shorten and wealth industry executives, where the looming federal budget and tax concessions on super are expected to feature.

Scrambled Eggs with Ricotta and Broccolini — Meatless Monday
by Maria Russo in Recipes, May 12th, 2014Whether you maintain a meatless diet just one day a week or adhere to a vegetarian lifestyle, eggs are surely a welcome addition to your meat-free menu, as they're versatile, packed with protein and, perhaps best of all, quick to prepare. Because there are multiple ways to cook eggs, you can incorporate them into nearly any meal — even lunch and dinner. The next time you make fried rice, try serving sunny-side up eggs atop the dish to add substance, or bake eggs in tomato sauce for a rustic Italian supper.
Food Network Kitchen sticks with a scrambled centerpiece in its fuss-free recipe for Scrambled Eggs with Ricotta and Broccolini (pictured above). While this 20-minute meal is a cinch to prepare, it's a dressed-up version of the everyday scrambles you likely ate as a child; instead of calling for American cheese, this recipe incorporates rich ricotta to create a creamy taste, and it swaps in vibrant Broccolini in place of traditional peppers and onions. It's important to stop cooking the eggs once they're set to yield tender, fluffy results every time. Finish the eggs with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and serve with bread to round out the meal.

Special thanks to Maria for sharing this delicious recipe. Its so simple to prepare at home and can be served everyone in a little time. I have added this to the list of recipes.
It's interesting to me that somehow in our society, something like eggs isn't considered meat or something very close to it. Almost all the arguments you can apply for not eating meat can also be applied to eating eggs. The environmental effects, inhumane animal farming techniques, cleanliness of the pens/coups, possible contamination, etc are all concerns that apply to both. To me, for a Meatless Monday, you'd have to cut out eggs as well.

Making a Character in Two Seconds or Less
How the Big Fish ensemble makes us remember small roles
Everyone in the Big Fish ensemble plays a million characters, give or take.
Based on Daniel Wallace's novel and Tim Burton's subsequent film, the show follows Edward Bloom (Nobert Leo Butz), an Alabama legend who turns his life into an epic story. Instead of just falling in love, he says he learned about romance from a mermaid. Instead of making friends with an oddball up the street, he insists he took a road trip with a giant. His boundless gift for fantasy touches everything in his path.
In creating Big Fish the musical, which is now on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre, the artistic team understandably transforms Edward's tales into lavish production numbers. Director-choreographer Susan Stroman, along with composer Andrew Lippa and librettist John August, delivers showstoppers in a haunted swamp, a lavish circus, and a field that magically explodes with daffodils. And that's just in the first act.
However, those numbers wouldn't be half as dazzling without the ensemble, who zip between costumes and dance styles with dazzling speed. A woman who's playing a trapeze artist one minute might be a college student the next, and a man who's playing an enchanted tree might be operating a giant elephant puppet just a few scenes later.
What does a chorus member have to do to transform all these small roles into a coherent performance?
"Because we don't speak lines, it's very important for the ensemble to be even more specific with who our characters are in a specific scene," says Angie Schworer, a veteran of seven Broadway choruses who earned the Gypsy Robe for this production. She adds that Stroman—or "Stro," as everyone calls her—looks for clear character choices in every scene, from every performer: "If Stro needs to pull you back or if she needs to change something, great. But it's always better not to be in a gray area."
That spirit has been part of the show since the beginning. "When we first started this process, we all had to come in and tell 'big fish' stories to everybody, and Stro asked that we know who all these characters are," says ensemble member Bryn Dowling. "What are their names? Where do they come from? It helps me as an actress in everything I do on stage—how I sing a song, how I dance."
In one scene, Dowling plays a campfire—yes, an actual campfire—who dances around a group of boy scouts. "What Stro had given me was that this fire might have been one of the crazy stories [Edward] had told his son," she says. "She wanted it sassy, but fun and playful, like maybe it came out of nowhere, then it moved and sparked and had a life of its own."
Sarrah Strimel, meanwhile, plays the mermaid who teaches Edward about love. The mermaid never speaks, and we only see the top half of Strimel's body when she emerges from the orchestra pit, yet she's still a significant character, popping up at several emotional moments. "As a dancer, I don't have my body to tell the story," Strimel says. "I don't have my voice. I pop up for a few seconds at a time, and I have those few seconds to fully convey what's happening."
Her strategy involves choosing a clear mood for the mermaid's entrances. "There are certain nights when I come up that I choose different tactics that the mermaid might have. And I know it might sound silly, like I'm doing some heavy drama, but it really is something that matters. Every night, [I ask myself], 'How does she feel now when she pops up?' Sometimes she's really excited, and sometimes, she might be a little more pensive about her situation."
The alternative to making these choices would be just hitting the physical marks without deciding what they mean. "You could do it like that and just raise your arm up," Strimel says. "But then how would you craft a character that feels essential to the story?"

Romantic Mason Jar Enclosure Cards I went with magnet street for my save the dates and got a coupon for my next order. Well that was enough for me and I quickly filled my cart. The customizable tool is great, the options were lovely...but the forces quantity count really disappointed me. I needed 30 (that number includes 5 extras( but was forced to buy 50. Very very dissapointing. But overall I love the quality and the pretty hard shell keepsake box it comes in.
Very Personalize-able!
Color Me Neon Enclosure Cards The online editor was incredibly easy to use and I was surprised by the amount of personalization I could do. I changed colors, sizes, fonts, anything! This was great--I made exactly the invitations that I wanted and would not have been able to find anywhere else. The paper quality is good! My only complaint was the envelopes. I was only able to choose from white or ivory, and that just didn't give me the pop I wanted. Overall this was an excellent experience.

Writing Center
Get help with your writing at one of our three locations:
Eicher Hall: Main LocationWriting Center - Library Satellite: Weeknights and SundaysOnline: Appointment Only
The Writing Center's main location is 218 Eicher Hall, located on Grant Street between Wallwork Hall and the smokestacks. Students may use the Writing Center's quiet, comfortable space to work on class assignments or meet with a tutor.
The lab is equipped with computers that run the full Microsoft Office suite, a printer, and a small library of reference books. Unless otherwise noted, the Writing Center is open Monday through Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Friday 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
This location is staffed by trained peer tutors who can help with class assignments or presentations and out-of-class writing such as cover letters and scholarship applications. Tutors will work individually with you at any point in the writing process, from brainstorming to revising. Though they are happy to provide strategies for revising papers, tutors do not write, edit or grade papers.
No appointments are needed to visit the Writing Center in Eicher Hall—just walk in. At your request, your tutor will let your professor know that you visited the Writing Center.
The Writing Center's Library Satellite is available on the first floor of Stapleton Library behind the reference desk. Head toward the back wall of the library and look for the Writing Center signs near the green booths.
Two trained Writing Center peer tutors are available in these booths Monday through Thursday 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. and Sunday 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
Tutors at this location have access to laptops with Internet access and can help students with electronic or hard copies of their work just like the Writing Center in Eicher Hall. Students who wish to use a computer or printer can do this elsewhere in the library or bring a laptop.
No appointments are needed to visit the Writing Center's Library Satellite; you can j ust walk in. At your request, your tutor will let your professor know that you visited the Writing Center.
The Online Writing Center is available for IUP students who are studying off campus or would like to meet with a trained peer tutor at a time when the physical locations are closed or busy. We use an online appointment calendar to schedule appointments at least 24 hours in advance.
During the session, you will share your screen with the tutor through WebEx, a web-based conferencing program. You can discuss your paper live with the tutor using your computer's microphone and speakers.
The appointment calendar and helpful instructions for how to use the Online Writing Center are available online.
Please note: Online appointments are conducted no sooner than 24 hours after the time that you schedule. If you need help sooner, stop by the Writing Center in Eicher Hall or Stapleton Library. No appointment is needed for walk-ins.
You can also ask writing questions on our Facebook page or by sending a tweet to @IUPWriting.

Reconnect with Rekonq
Superb Surfing
Rekonq looks set to replace Konqueror as the standard web browser on KDE, which is reason enough to put the surfer through its paces.
In the Linux community, Rekonq is not an unknown quantity: The lean browser has been part of the Kubuntu (Ubuntu with the KDE desktop) standard lineup since version 10.10. Just like Apple's Safari, Rekonq relies on the fast WebKit HTML rendering engine. This is a fork, or advanced development, of KHTML, the engine that Konqueror uses to render websites.

Ghosts, goblins and superheroes were meandering through the halls of the Kane Regional Centers this Halloween. Residents, staff, volunteers and visitors all joined in the fun. The residents got a kick out of the costumes and enjoyed the special treats.
At the Kane Center in McKeesport there was a Halloween parade with a contest for best costume for a resident and best costume for a staff member. "The residents were truly excited to see other residents and the staff members in costume," said Ken Schmigel the Recreation Therapy Supervisor at Kane McKeesport. The top prize for staff members went to the zombie bride and for residents the honor went to the witch.
The haunted house at Kane Glen Hazel was open for business again this year. Kathi Lindsley, Albert Pantone and Sheryl Kaecher from the Recreational Therapy department put together the best display to date. They had plenty of support from the Glen Hazel staff and volunteers. The BNY Mellon volunteers provided a major assist earlier in the month.
Ross Kane had a Halloween party with singer/entertainer Ron D'Amico. Mr. D'Amico sang songs from performers like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. The residents took pleasure in the old time music and most of them sang along.
Seventy five students from Our Lady of Grace grades K to 2 trick or treated at the Kane center at Scott Township. The day was mostly treats as the students sang songs and entertained the residents. "The children's voices were beautiful and their interactions with the residents made the day extraordinary," said Marci Donovan of Kane Scott.
All four centers are now busy with preparations for the upcoming holiday season. They will do so with fond memories of Halloween fun.

Daniel Levinson Wilk: Paula Deen's Racist Wedding Fantasy Was Once Reality
tags: racism, African American history, Bloomberg Echoes, Paula Deen, Daniel Levinson WilkDaniel Levinson Wilk is an associate professor of American history at the Fashion Institute of Technology. The opinions expressed are his own.
Paula Deen is in trouble. Last month, in a deposition for a discrimination suit brought by an employee, the Food Network star blithely admitted to using racial slurs. Perhaps equally disturbing, she also said she had fantasized about throwing a slavery-themed wedding for her brother, an idea that came to her after eating at a restaurant with an all-black staff.
Deen has apologized, though the Food Network has announced that it won't renew her contract. Whatever her motivations, she tapped into a long history of slavery fantasy in the U.S.
In the years preceding the Civil War, as northern states gradually emancipated their slaves, many expensive hotels in New York and other northern cities made it a policy to hire only black men to wait tables in their dining halls. Although it seems that these waiters were all free men, some may have been only recently emancipated.
The theatrical tradition of blackface minstrelsy developed over the same antebellum decades, feeding a parallel longing for a not-yet-past plantation slavery; New Yorkers could take in a blackface show and then walk down the block for a meal served by black men....

Photo of Mt. Everest from the International Space Station
Mount Everest is the planet earth's highest mountain, with a peak at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea level.
Fun fact: Olympus Mons is the highest mountain in the solar system -- it's on Mars.
Mount Everest is part of the Himilayan mountain range which runs across northern India causing a natural border between India and China (the smaller countries of Nepal and Bhutan are both part of the mountain range).
Mount Everest is partially in Nepal and partially in China (Tibet)... The international border between China and Nepal runs across the very top of the mountain. The top of a mountain is called the summit.
Tibet was an independent country at one time, but at the moment, China holds it. The north side of Mount Everest is in Tibet.
The south side of Mount Everest is in Nepal. Nepal is a "sovereign nation" which is a fancy way of saying it is a country that rules itself. It was a monarchy up until the 1990's at which point it became a parliamentary monarchy. In a monarchy, the country is ruled by Kings and Queens, usually all from the same family. In a parliamentary monarchy, the country still has kings and queens but it also has elected representatives and a Prime Minister. This is the type of government Great Britain has too.
Sir Edmund Percival Hillary was a New Zealand mountaineer and explorer. On May 29, 1953 at the age of 33, he and sherpa Tenzing Norgay from Nepal became the first climbers known to have reached the summit of Mount Everest.
Queen Elizabeth, II was coronated on June 2, 1953. "Being coronated" means receiving her crown and becoming the queen. She found out about Hillary's accomplishment during her coronation and decided to make him a knight. That's why he's called Sir Hillary.
Hillary and Tenzing are also nationally recognized in Nepal, where ceremonies are held every year on May 29th to celebrate their accomplishment.

Episode Information
Watch the full episode. See more American Experience.
U.S. Grant: Warrior
Few public figures have ever held such a firm grip on the American popular imagination as Ulysses S. Grant. The greatest hero of the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant was a brilliant military strategist who rose from obscurity to a rank held previously only by George Washington, then became a leader for whom thousands of Northern soldiers were willing to fight and die, and for whom thousands did. His hard-nosed fighting style won him the nickname "Unconditional Surrender" Grant and the admiration of the Northern public. However, the strength of the Confederate resistance forced Grant into a hard war that destroyed the South and led to his being labeled a butcher. As the author of the great Union victory at Vicksburg, which etched his name in military history, he irrevocably altered the course of the war. Perhaps most memorably, he was the general who took Lee's surrender at Appomattox and the author of its generous terms. This AMERICAN EXPERIENCE paints a revealing portrait of one of America's most paradoxical leaders, from his first days on the Ohio frontier to the darkest days of the Civil War.
