U.S. transportation systems and the estimated 4,000 transportation facilities move over 30 million tons of freight and provide an estimated 1.1 billion passenger trips each day. Since 2001 the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has protected these systems and facilities from terrorist attack. One program TSA utilizes is the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program, through which a common credential is being developed for transportation workers with access to secure areas. Ultimately planned for all transportation sectors, TSA, in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard, is initially focusing the TWIC program on the maritime sector. This testimony discusses (1) the progress made in implementing the TWIC program and (2) some of the remaining program challenges. This testimony is based on GAO's September 2006 TWIC report, as well as selected updates and ongoing work. To conduct this work, GAO reviewed program requirements and guidance, documentation on the status of the TWIC program, and interviewed program officials from TSA and the Coast Guard.
Since GAO's 2006 report on the TWIC program, TSA and the Coast Guard have made progress in addressing legislative requirements and implementing and testing the program through a prototype and pilot, as well as addressing GAO recommendations related to conducting additional systems testing. Although GAO has not yet evaluated the effectiveness of TSA's and the Coast Guard's efforts, the two agencies have taken the following actions to continue to implement the TWIC program: In January 2007, TSA and the Coast Guard issued the first rule in federal regulation to govern the TWIC program, setting the requirements for enrolling maritime workers in the TWIC program and issuing TWICs to these workers. The Coast Guard issued complementary guidance in July 2007 to explain how the maritime industry is to comply with these requirements. Enrollment efforts began at the Port of Wilmington, Delaware, in October 2007, and additional enrollments are under way through a contractor. Of the 1.2 million identified TWIC users, 492,928 (41 percent) were enrolled as of September 12, 2008. The TWIC program has initiated its TWIC Reader pilot to test card reader technology for use in controlling access to secure areas of maritime transportation facilities and vessels, and assess the impact of their installation on maritime operations. This pilot is expected to inform the development of a second TWIC rule on implementing access controls in the maritime environment. TSA and the maritime industry continue to face two potential challenges in implementing the TWIC program. TSA and its enrollment contractor continue to face challenges in enrolling and issuing TWICs to a significantly larger population than was done during TWIC program prototype testing. TSA and its enrollment contractor now plan to enroll and issue TWICs to an estimated target population of 1.2 million workers by April 15, 2009, compared to 770,000 workers estimated in January 2007. Over 700,000 additional workers (59 percent of projected enrollees) still need to be enrolled in the program by the April 15, 2009 deadline. TSA and industry stakeholders will need to ensure that TWIC access control technologies perform effectively in the harsh maritime environment and balance security requirements with the flow of maritime commerce. While testing is underway, the lessons learned of the ongoing tests remain to be distilled and used to inform the development of additional regulatory requirements

Real historians and biographers are going to have a field day - some have already started - digging below the layers of fiction about Obama and his presidency that only now are growing old for the mainstream media. Thus far, the 21st century has followed the example of the 20th, as portrayed by Eksteins, to point where some co-writers - also co-dependent?- have become exhausted by the kind of transparent charade demanded by the Obama administration.

Keywords: Rites of Spring, culture, Obama, Jay Carney, Modris Eksteins, propaganda, morality, moral relativism, Jay Carney, Deal W. Hudson
WASHINGTON,DC (Catholic Online) - In his magnificent narrative of why European nations embraced the prospect of World War I - Rites of Spring: the Great War and the Birth of the Modern Age - the Canadian scholar Modris Eksteins writes about the chief consequence of the breakdown in a shared consensus on morality:
"Our century [the 20th] is one in which life and art have been blended, in which existence has become aestheticized. History as one theme of this study will try to show, has surrendered much of its former authority to fiction."
The pertinence of this remark can hardly be challenged as we watch on a daily basis a White House that continues to construct one fictional narrative after another in order to avoid the facts of Bengazi, Obamacare, and the Russian takeover of the Ukraine. This last fiction must be particularly painful to Eksteins, a Latvian whose family immigrated to Canada after being battered by successive occupations of the Germans and the Russians.
Eksteins employs the controversial Parisian premiere on May 29, 1913 of the ballet, Les Sacre de Printemps (The Rite of Spring), composed by Igor Stravinsky, choreographed and danced by Vaslav Nijinsky, and produced by Sergei Diaghilev, as the "first act" of his dramatic reconstruction of the cultural personae leading to World War I. With its complete rejection of traditional musical and dance forms, The Rite of Spring created a performance-long furor in the audience that started with the first notes from the bassoon of Stravinsky's evocative score.
As Eksteins notes, this was the first time in the history of art that the reaction of the audience was as much a part of the performance as the performers:
"Art has transcended reason, didacticism, and a moral purpose: art has become provocation and event."
In the resulting mishmash of observer and observed, subject and object, the purpose of art no longer serves to exalt, to illuminate, or to aspire - art becomes the occasion of precipitating a reaction, most visceral, and collapsing the invisible wall between the actors on stage and those in the theater seats. In doing this, the audience on that May night just over 100 years ago was participating precisely in what they saw on stage - a frenzied dance to the death of a maiden chosen to be sacrificed to the coming of spring. Except in this case, most of the audience shouted for the sacrifice of the ballet's composer, Stravinsky, and its lead dancer, Nijinsky.
Whether a pistol shot was actually fired at Stravinsky, as many accounts of that night claim, has never really been confirmed. Thus, part of the aestheticized existence postulated by Eksteins is the preference for uncontrolled passion over any kind of more measured response.
This kind of bacchanalia is easily seen in the recent media reaction to the racist comments of the Los Angeles Lakers' owner and the middle aged curmudgeon in bluejeans and a cowboy hat who wouldn't back down to government intimidation (the comments of the former were clearly racist and those of the latter, more ambiguous). These two might as well have been put in the hands of the Jacobins and marched immediately to the guillotine.
The construction of these narratives, sweet always to the interests and prejudices of the cultural elite, have gone less and less challenged by anyone in the news reporting profession; it used to be to uncover and expose lies, both big and small. No doubt in the last 20 years these same reporters, with notable exceptions, have been co-authors of the solipsistic narratives intended to silence any criticism of their enshrined cultural and political leadership.
Real historians and biographers are going to have a field day - some have already started - digging below the layers of fiction about Obama and his presidency that only now are growing old for the mainstream media. Thus far, the 21st century has followed the example of the 20th, as portrayed by Eksteins, to point where some co-writers - also co-dependent?- have become exhausted by the kind of transparent charade demanded by the Obama administration.
I, for one, cannot help but think about the glorification of the 2008 Obama campaign and his subsequent years in the White House when I read Eksteins' mention of the "compromise" between fiction and the fact that it is becoming both possible and necessary.
"In search of this compromise our historical account proceeds in the form of a drama, with acts and scenes, in the full and diverse sense of those words. In the beginning was the event. Only later came consequence."

Mars plays a mean defense. The red warrior has overwhelmed nearly two-thirds of all international spacecraft that have sought its mysteries. For NASA's latest encounter with Earth's testy neighbor, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter team will be going into battle armored with discipline, training and experience.
Backyard astronomers, grab your telescopes. Jupiter is growing a new red spot. Christopher Go of the Philippines photographed it on February 27th using an 11-inch telescope and a CCD camera.
Japan's space agency said Tuesday it had re-established partial contact with a problem-plagued probe sent to collect samples from an asteroid, but a fuel leak could cut communications again.
The components of life may have been under attack in the hostile environments of the universe's first galaxies, say astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
Space shuttle Discovery has a fuel tank sensor that isn't working properly and a dent in a robotic arm, potentially delaying its planned launch in May.

Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - Portland's Mamadou Danso scored the lone goal in Saturday's match with the Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium.
The only problem was that the goal was an own goal, allowing the Crew to walk away with a 1-0 win on the 79th-minute tally and giving the hosts their second victory in five games.
Portland was the better side in the first 45 minutes with Jack Jewsbury creating a good chance outside the penalty area with a shot that flew just over Andy Gruenebaum's goal.
Darlington Nagbe then had an opportunity to open the scoring a few minutes later for the Timbers, but his shot from 14 yards narrowly missed the left post.
The second half saw Columbus start to create a bit more in attack and the Crew came within inches of opening the scoring from a corner kick on the hour mark.
Chad Marshall got on the other end of the corner kick and headed the ball past goalkeeper Troy Perkins. However, Nagbe was positioned on the goal line and he deflected the ball off the crossbar to keep it out.
But Portland wasn't as fortunate in the 79th minute as Josh Gardner's shot was tipped off the post by Perkins, only for Eddie Gaven to flick the ball toward goal with his heel. Danso tried to block the shot but ended up redirecting it into his own net, leaving the Timbers with only four points from their last nine games.

Is dead rat smell harmful to health?
I've read many of the posts here talking about dead rat smell. We have a similar problem in one of our closets.... for almost a month now, we've emptied the closet and checked the attic, no body found... so we think it's in the walls....not sure if we want to tear down our walls.
I've tried everything and the smell won't go. I am going to try one of those odor bombs.
But can it also be harmful to health? Should I disinfect the closet, any suggestions on products to use?
The smell in the wall - IF it is from a dead rodent - will go away in a few weeks.
Disinfecting the closet??? From what? I thought the 'body' (if that is what the smell is from) was in the walls...
Are you sure it isn't mold or mildew? THAT needs to be disinfected...
I would think that the smell of rotten meat (which is what it would be if it's a rodent) is a LOT less harmful to your health than any chemicals you might spray into the air to combat the smell. After all, dead animals are natural, deodorants are not :)
You might have some issues with maggots and flies if the body is accessible to flies. While maggots will make quick work of a decaying body, it's just nasty :)
Do move any clothes and items that tend to absorb and hold on to odors of any sort.
I have no idea where the myth came about that baking soda absorbs odors...it doesn't.
The body will dry up and not smell in a few weeks. In my experience a mouse takes 2 to 3 weeks to dry up....never had a rat!
If it's been longer than 3 weeks I would suspect something else...either sewer gas or a larger animal.
But the odor is not harmful to your health.
The one thing that may help is putting a dish of charcoal and or kitty litter in the closet.

we have what we suspect to be a dead mouse in one of our heat ducts. we are pretty sure it is a mouse because lately we have had a bit of a problem with them, so we out some posion in the basement. we know that seem to like the ductwork, as we have found droppings next to a few vents.
we dont have any way to get into the duct without tearing it apart, so removing it isnt really an option.
is there anything we could use to neutralize the smell?
Like western_pa_luann stated. You cannot neutralize the smell. It will go away in a couple of weeks. If you live in the country you kind of get used to it in the fall or winter.
What you have to do is get in the attic and try to find where they got in the wall at and close off that source. Rats and mice will follow urine trails of other rats and mice. So if it happens once you have very good chances that it will happen again. one place that is a bad area for it to happen is the soffit area of a kitchen (if you have soffits above the cupboards) The way they are designed a mouse can get in them, walk along to the end and drop into a wall cavity. Once in the wall, they cannot get out. A mouse can go through a hole the size of a dime, so you really have to look around the perimeter of a house to see where they are getting in. And yes....mice do get into attics very easily.
We used to put out poison for mice where I used to work. Don't do that. They die in the walls and you have the odor to contend with until they fully decompose. Finally switched to snap traps and assigned one of the janitorial crew to check and change them. But, when we had the odor problem we burned scented candles until the odor went away. Doesn't eliminate the odor but did make it bearable. Just make sure you snuff out the candle before going to bed at night. You could probably use those plugins but I've never had one I could stomach and I'm not so sure plugging an oil into an electrical outlet is any safer than a candle.
Be careful using anything to eliminate or cover the odor if you have pets or people w/asthma, etc in the house. The fumes can be deadly or at best irritating. If you must use something look for products that are safe around pets and use with caution anyway. If your weather permits at all, open windows as much as you can, to get fresh air.
We used to live in a house that frequently got squirrels in the attic. They can rip open holes thru wood, metal, screen, etc, if they want to bad enough. When they die in your walls it can stink to high heaven for weeks. If it's bad enough, the odor can cling to clothing, etc. Health food stores often sell products based on enzymes to kill odors on furniture, carpet etc that helps.
One incident like this should have to looking hard for the ways animals got in, and preventing them from getting in anymore. You might have to look in some normally inaccessible places like your roof, around chimneys and vents, etc. One of the places squirrels kept getting in for us, was an eaves vent that was not really visible from the ground due to the meeting of some roof angles. The rodents just strolled right up to the vent, tore off the cover, and invited themselves in. Trees and fences, sheds, cars, etc, can make it easy for them to get to the roof.
The smell of the dead rat has indeed infected my "Psychological Health" to the comment way above, everyone else has been able to wash it out there nostrils but I can still smell it, it's very strong in the kitchen and we thought it was behind the laundry so we moved the machines but no rat, then we moved the stove and it was not there either. The rat is in the wall and we cant get it out because it costs LOTS of money especially with the electrical currents. Please please, tell me how to get rid of this smell, because it's spreading through the house and I cannot bare it much longer. It's sickening.
Um . . . no. A pathogen is a bacteria, virus or fungus. A poison would not contain a pathogen; it would contain a poison. Live rats carry pathogens which are potentially harmful to humans. The smell of a dead rat, while certainly unpleasant, is not toxic and will go away as the rat decomposes and dries up (fortunately a fairly quick process). Unfortunately, decomposition produces chemicals that the human nose can smell at very low concentrations, lower than can be detected by all but the most sensitive instruments. If you absolutely must have the smell gone immediately, the rat carcass must be removed.
You need to check along the base of all exterior walls for points of entry...and use concrete or something to patch it....anything else they can chew through....you must cut off their access or you will never solve your issue then cut off their food...and use sticky traps or the traps that kill them and you won't have to deal with the smells just the bodies...lol
We have the same-nightmare. A colleague told me about RatZappers. They electrocute, no poison! I ordered 2 and dropping off today. Ultra and the Classic. She caught 3 and there was no smell. They crawl in, it kills them instantly so humane, and you then just dump the body in a bad.
We have had the most awful smell in our house for three and a half months - it's just about past and now we have literally 100s of bluebottles flying around. It's been just awful. The council came in and confirmed we had rats - norwegian rats (they can tell from their droppings).They put lots of bait down - they died - in our dining room, kitchen and utility room walls. The smell can only be described as rotten veg that has been left out in the heat for a days. It's been so awful that people can't come in our house as they would literally vomit. Our little ones (aged one and three) have been sick becuase of the smell. Our clothes in our cupboards even smell.
The only thing that has masked the smell a tiny bit was lavender oil (which is also a smell that I personally hate, but one can't be fussy now!).
We are now going to have to spend a lot of money to get someone to search the whole of our house (a large victorian house so very old and probably full of holes in the celler, attic walls you name it!).
It has been devasting and to now have all the flys is just unbearable. If the doors and windows are closed in the space of a few hours there will be a few hundred flies at each window.
So my advice to anyone (and I'm sure this isn't what the professinals would advise..but) DON'T put bait down as they will run and hide and die - likely in your house and you may experience what we have had to go through. Personally.. I'd use lots of traps and try and find out where they are coming from.
Sorry to anyone that has gone through this or is going through it - it's awful.
Yes, Texasredhead, I KNOW this is an old post so please don't ask. Even old ones can be helpful as vermin have been dying in walls since we all moved out of log cabins.
My hint is not timely for those suffering with the smell but:
We live next to an open field and were plagued for years with field mice.....never could find where they came in at. We couldn't poison as we have inside dogs and snap traps just scare the bee-jeezus out of me, 'specially when I can hear the poor mouse flopping around in death throes.
My Dad suggested those plug in thingies that supposedly run through the wiring in your house (?). He swears by them. What the heck, if they don't work, we're only out 30 bucks for two of them - one upstairs and one in the basement.
We haven't had a mouse one for several years since we plugged them in. We got two more for our cabin and never found another chipmunk nest in our bed. Mice were a problem up there too - can't poison them because of other critters that eat them and you can't snap trap them because we weren't always there. That'd be a nice little stench to invite a bear break in. Oh! Our neighbors got a couple for their cabin too! No more mouse/chipmunk problems for them either. Three homes can't be wrong.
We ordered ours from Amazon.
BTW, it doesn't bother our dogs - Chihuahuas.
I live in an old house that's hard to keep clear of critters, much less mustiness. One solution is to run an aroma diffuser with peppermint - in particular, one of the ones sold by diffuserworld (see link). I have a few different kinds. If you must have it totally quiet, try the Aroma Sonic with some peppermint or other oil added to the (distilled!) water. But if you really want to blast the place, try the Aroma Ace (does not use water). (These all will need an electrical outlet.) You can adjust: time on, time at-rest/off, and output amount.
Hmm... just looked, and I see they have a new one I haven't tried yet!
Vitacost sells 4-oz. bottles of peppermint (and other) oils, for one place. I've used a few different brands. I also got some atomizers (by Aura Cacia) and I keep peppermint oil, etc., in those and spray corners of the house now and then.
It has to be oil -- extract won't do it!
Rodents don't like peppermint, either. Though, it needs to be sprayed fresh every so often. Just leaving a dab of it here and there for a long time isn't enough.
....And keep track of sweet potaters... once, I left a bag of sweet potatoes somewhere in the house, and forgot about it. Stuff got set on top of it. After a few weeks... what a horrible smell! I was certain that a rat had died in the wall. I was ready to tear down the house. Then, I finally found the sweet potatoes. Or, what was left of them!
Here is a link that might be useful: diffuserworld
Hey there,I am having similar issues with the dead rodent in the wall. In the guest bathroom I kept hearing strange noises in the walls before I went on vacation. I'd be in the tub carrying on, when a rustling,furry,scratching startling noise would catch my attention. Scared me half to death to be honest. It sounded like it was stuck sort of shaking around trying to get out and sounded much bigger than a rat, maybe even an adult possum?(Possum problems where I live)
Anyway I left for about a week and came home to a rank disgusting smell(we know the drill)
We literally sat around debating to go rent a hotel room..
But who has money for that these days? We tried the vinegar and sat out baking soda with vanilla ex on cotton balls.
It sort of helped but only a little while before the rank comes back stronger. I fear the animal is larger and I'd like to knw if its say a possum, how long will it take to dry up? We can't even eat in our kitchen and spending $ on going out to eat is getting expensive, not to mention running to mcdonalds to eat isn't healthy either. If this is going to be severals weeks to months, we need to get the animal out! We can't live with the smell even if it is natural..I looked at diffuserworld.com listed above-and a diffuser is like $60.00 or more, I can't afford that! And say I could afford it, a lot of oil I'd have to go through? I'm considering cutting into the wall where I heard the scratching loudest. Its hard to guess about where it is though. I can't just cut into our walls hoping I find this dead rodent. Any help?
Listen.. All of a sudden it stunk in my garage. My wife said we must have a natural gas leak. I came home and it did kinda smell like propain or mercaptain. But I doubted it was that. I took our empty bottles to the depot but doubted they were the problem. It was odd that the stink just showed up all of a sudden one day. By night fall. I could smell it upstairs. It was nasty. I went into the garage again and suddenly it smelled like death. I started moving tool boxes,my washer,dryer and then the deepfreeze. Omg. It was coming from my deepfreeze. I got down on my knees and sniffed the side panel. It was coming from inside. Then, at that moment, a fly crawled out and flew away. It was then I knew there was a dead rodent in there. A hole in the back of the deepfreeze where the power cord comes out was big enough for a rodent. We don't have a rodent problem. At least we didn't. I think it was an isolated incident. One must of come in when my garage door was open? I unscrewed the panel and found a dead rat. It got electrocuted and died. It couldn't have been there long cause it didn't have rigamortis. But the smell won't go away. Will that take weeks too? How long do you think it was there? Does anyone know approximately?

Measure taken in the light of the blasts at Chennai Central
The South Central Railway (SCR) has beefed up security across all stations under its jurisdiction in the light of the blasts at Chennai Central Railway station, which killed one person and injured several others.
The Railway Protection Force personnel along with their general railway police counterparts intensified patrolling and conducted extensive checks at railway stations and trains in the zone. Passengers were advised to remain alert during the course of their journey and bring to the notice of the railway authorities if they noticed any suspicious/unclaimed articles or explosives/inflammable material in trains or at stations.
Passengers can alert the railway staff or call on 040-27833366 or send an SMS to 09701370728 to enable the railways to initiate prompt action. Passengers have been asked not to carry fire crackers/inflammable substances like gas cylinder, petrol, diesel and kerosene stoves, lanterns, explosive chemicals and detonating substances.
The SCR warned that carrying inflammable and explosive articles was a punishable offence entailing punishment of up to three years imprisonment or fine up to Rs. 1,000 or both, according to a press release.

Phoenix Suns
Former Suns owner Jerry Colangelo: Dan Majerle is 'a lunch bucket guy'
On the night Dan Majerle was inducted into the Phoenix Suns "Ring of Honor" back in March 2003, then-owner and chairman Jerry Colangelo beamed as he talked about one of his favorite former players.
"When you think of Dan Majerle, you think of a guy who gave maximum effort in every game, every practice, in everything he did," Colangelo said.
Those intangibles not only made Majerle an asset on the court, but also as an assistant coach with the organization for five-plus seasons.
It's the reason many were surprised in January that Majerle was passed over by the Suns in favor of Lindsey Hunter for the interim head coaching position.
While Thunder Dan's number wasn't called in Phoenix, his former boss was more than happy to give a glowing review of the former All-Star on Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Monday.
"Dan Majerle is a working class guy from Michigan," Colangelo said. "He's a lunch-bucket guy, that's who he really is. The doctors (before the draft) told us to stay away from him because of his bad back and the pins in his ankles.
"What they didn't tell us is about his heart. He overcame all of those obstacles through hard work, commitment, toughness, all of the intangibles you look for in athletes. That's who Majerle is."
While there are very few remnants left from Colangelo's days (1968-2004) with the organization, the founding father of the Suns said he hopes the team's rebuilding process is a rather short one.
"I'm hoping for the best for them," said Colangelo, now chairman of USA Basketball. "I gave birth to the franchise. I love the franchise. I hate to see them lose any games. I hate to see any of the negativity that's taken place.
"I'm hoping this ends quickly and that they can turn this thing around."

Until the euro area addresses this key issue, caused by the failure of the Greek program, the risk of a disorderly exit from the euro area will remain real. (more…)

Comic retailers were cautiously ecstatic about sales at the end of Summer 2012, after 12 consecutive months of growth for periodical comics, according to a recently released report in ICv2's Internal Correspondence #80 (see "ICv2 Releases 'Internal Correspondence' #80"). The caution comes from having seen both high and low points across recent decades, but the "return to floppies," as Things from Another World's Andrew McIntire described it, has reassured comic retailers that their core business has a future despite the growth of graphic novels and the more recent surge in sales of digital comics.
Retailers attribute the growth to "a happy convergence of a lot of things," as Jamie Graham of Graham Crackers Comics put it. Those include strong editorial performance from the Big Two (New 52, Avengers Vs. X-Men, and Before Watchmen), the prominence of comic-based properties in movie theaters (Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, and Dark Knight Rises) and on TV (The Walking Dead), the strength of Image (Saga, more), and the relaunch of Valiant Comics.
New and lapsed customers are coming into comic stores, and that's stimulating sales across the board. And although there are risks, retailers note that the current surge in sales is based on readers rather than speculators, making it much more sustainable than the comic sales boom in the 1990s.
In the graphic novel space, hits such as Dark Horse's Avatar and Vertigo's Get Jiro were noted, both of which attract customers outside the core audience.

"They say you want to be peaking come playoff team. And outside of the Green Bay game, which was a little different situation, we've been performing at a very high level the last half of the season."

"Look at the teams we played when I was not there - Indy, Minnesota, Green Bay, Philadelphia - that's four playoff teams right there. I don't think it's a significant statistic. We just have to play better when I'm not in there or play easier teams."
"The Lakers are a public team, like the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings. They get a lot more people betting on them. Even if a team like that should be at 20:1, we might go 15:1 because we know we're going to get more play on them."
"[The Green Bay Packers loaded the team plane with generators and emergency supplies.] When we get to Nashville, there's going to be a guy who drives (the supplies) to Hattiesburg, (Miss.) ... From there, hopefully, we can disperse this even further south."
"Our first game against East Bay was early in the year. Both of our teams have improved since then, and playing them at their home pool is a much tougher environment than playing them here. We need to come out and play high intensity water polo right from the start."
"[Detroit 17, Green Bay 3:] There was no finesse at all in this game, ... This was a Norris Division, Black-and-Blue Division slugfest."

Kent State University Chorale Presents The World SingsPosted Oct. 21, 2013
Kent State University's Hugh A. Glauser School of Music presents the Kent State Chorale Fall Concert, under the baton of Associate Professor of Music Scott MacPherson, on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 7:30 p.m. at St. Patrick Catholic Church located at 313 N. DePeyster St. in Kent.
The audience will be dazzled and moved with selections by composers from Estonia, South Africa and Venezuela. The chorale will perform a variety of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries, from motets of Tomás Luis de Victoria and Sebastian Vivanco, to music of Franz Joseph Haydn, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Arvo Pärt and his Estonian countryman Urmas Sisask. Rounding out the world tour are American composers Randall Thompson, Andrew Rindfleisch and Ron Jeffers, as well as South Africa's Peter Louis Van Dijk, and Venezuela's Alberto Grau.
"Come experience the amazing and infinite sounds of the human voice in the beautiful resonant sanctuary of St. Patrick Catholic Church," says MacPherson.
The group rehearses four days a week to master five centuries of choral literature. As the flagship choral ensemble of the university, the Kent State Chorale performs on campus and throughout the region and state, touring each spring semester.
Tickets for the performance are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors and Kent State faculty and staff, $10 for groups of 10 or more patrons, $8 for non-Kent State students, $5 for children, and free for full-time Kent Campus undergraduate students.
Tickets are available weekdays noon to 5 p.m. at the Performing Arts Box Office, located in the lobby of the Roe Green Center in the Center for the Performing Arts at 1325 Theatre Drive on the Kent Campus. The Performing Arts Box Office accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover, in addition to cash and checks.
The box office at St. Patrick Catholic Church will open one hour prior to the performance for walk-up sales and will accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Tickets and more information are available by calling 330-672-ARTS (2787) or visiting www.kent.edu/music.

azalia care?
If you've had some success with Azalias, please let me know the key points. (This is for the growing season in the North Texas area.)Also need info for lillys.
Hi Kelly. You are a transplant from the North aren't you? We always want that which won't grow in where ever we live. The only place in TX where Azaleas really do well is Far East TX where they have acidic soil. The soils in the rest of the state are very alkaline which is lethal to Azaleas, Rhodies, Camillias, Gardenias and the like. You can plant them in raised beds filled with an acidic soil but the water is also alkaline and turns the most acidic soil alkaline after a while. Then you'll need to acidify with those special acid loving fertilizers and/or acidify the water you use. It's a big pain and most people give up after having killed numerous plants.
There are a few of the true lilies that do okay here (Stargazer came back for me for several years) but they really don't like the summers much and I don't think they get enough chilling in the winter usually. Daylilies, however, do great. Tiger lilies will also naturalize. There is a great book called "Gardening in Difficult Soils" which is mostly for Texas gardeners and has tons of information on plants that actually like it here. Not jsut natives but other adaptable plants. check it out.
Kelly, Don't feel bad, I am a Northern transplant in Florida. Although I am a Master Gardener, I too HAD to try and defeat local conditions by planting old favorites.
12 years later, I have learned to love my sandy soil, and really enjoy locally adapted plants.
It seems to be part of the transfer process.
Greetings, well can somebody tell me why my azalia blooms then in a month or two its dead? We have put it into the ground in different locations, same dead results, hey how about a pot, you guessed it dead. I know I have a little bit of a green thumb. I also enjoy the art of bonsai for the past 20 plus years. So please help, I don't want to kill another azalia!!!
Don't give up!~ There are several types of acidifyers that are liquid and easily available. Potting the azalia helps, and when you feed it on a regular basis, and stop feeding for blooming season. My azalia is slowly taking over the side of the apartment building for the second time since I bought it. The management had it cut down 2 years ago so they could paint, and it's already more than half way back up. Also remember that there are many types of azalias, some for shade (that's what I have) and some that require full sun. When you pot, you have to balance between the need for more water, and getting root rot. I add charcoal (the kind you buy for gardening or your fish tank,not the bar-b-que)at the very bottom of all of my pots to add extra oxygen and to keep the drainage clear. be sure you water only with treated (acidified) water, and cover the base of the tree with plastic when it rains. Use untreated water when you want blooms,(depending on your blooming season)plant WILL NOT BLOOM WHEN IT'S BEING FED!! This is the only plant I know of that reacts this way. Good luck, and enjoy your azalia!!
Hi there :)
I tink my azalias are doing ok . All except one :( I am new to the planting world and hate to see a plant die . A tiny bit of the leaves are slightly browning and looks like wilting a bit . Can I save her ? I planted with Azalia planting mix . I have not yet bought acidifyers yet , will this help ? Could grub worms also be a problem ?
Thank you
We follow the philosophy that it is redundant to plant what grows here. Why not something else. OK, we dug up the soil where we wanted the azalias and amended it with sphagnum and potting soil. We have kept it covered with sphagnum and mulch and ferterlized regularly with acidic fert. and epsom salts from any drugstore. For the past five years we have had magnificant flowers. It does take a bunch of work however. Good luck.

Selling Hypertufa planters
Hello everyone,
This is my first post but I have been learning in the background for a little while now. I have been experimenting with hypertufa planters and now have too many to use and am thinking about selling some since I do craft fairs for other items I make. I am just wondering what the turn around time would be if I sell out of a particular size how long I would need to wait to make and sell another. Should I wait the whole 28 days until its "cured" or can I sell them after the first week or 2 where from what I have gathered here is when about 75% of the curing takes place. Thank you in advance for your input!
If they look great they will sell. Everyone can go to the web and find a recipe and make one. At least that is what they will say when they walk by you stand.
They need to be better that they can make on their own Use color, tile insert - very professional looking will sell.
Have a few planted creatively and you may sell a few more.
Good luck
Here is a link that might be useful: My containers
Get in touch with the local botanical gardens and plant sales for a good place to sell your troughs. The botanical gardens will deliver you a captive audience of plant folks. Lots of times local garden clubs have fund raising sales where you can set up for a nominal donation.
Sometimes you just have to load up the car/trailer and drive to sales. Don't get discouraged as sometimes the first year at a particular venue can be a bit dismal, but once people know you are going to be there, they will come looking for you year after year. Also, you'll figure out the size of trough and the price that seems to appeal to folks in your area. You can't please everyone -- the day you leave your large stuff at home is the day someone wants it, and vice versa.
I've never done real well at craft fairs as it just doesn't seem to be the right audience. Maybe it is different in other areas of the country. That being said, large Christmas Fairs can often be a great place to sell "Christmas presents for your gardening friends".

Anybody know if there is a rifled slug barrel made for a winchester 1300 12g?
How about holographic sights, anyone have input on that?
I live in a shotgun only zone for deer so i would like to optimize the performance as much as i can without going out and buying a whole new shotgun. I also plan to equip it with a Knoxx recoil reduction stock and rubber overmolded forearm. should be pretty neat.

Yes on the barrel and yes on the holographic sights. Many makers and choices for the sights.
Thank you, I was hoping the answer was yes. I'm having a tough time finding the rifled barrel, maybe I'm not looking in the right spots or just not looking quite hard enough. could you tell me where i can find one?
Are you using Google? Put this in the search feature "rifled slug barrel made for a Winchester 1300 12g?"
Cabela's? Gander Mountain? Just about every other sporting goods retailer?
From C3Shooter:
Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
Does your 1300 have a changable choke? Mine does and I bought an extended, rifled choke tube. I've been pleased with the results and it was conciderably less then a new barrel. Now if your looking to get all you can out of the modern slugs @ 100yds, I'd go with a full barrel but where I use slugs the longest shot is 40-50 yards on whitetail and my rifled choke will do just fine.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...
"the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
Since Winchester went Tango Uniform, there are not alot of aftermarket acessories made. Winchester did make a rifled barrel but they are rarely seen on the market. It seems 1200/1300 owners do not let go easily (I know I don't).
I have been looking for a rifled barrel for my 1200 for several years. I have seen them but I am unwilling to spend $200 on a barrel for a gun that cost me $189.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.

French Manicures
Trend Alert: French Manicures
I've got a hefty laundry list of qualities I don't like about Heidi Montag, but what I do love are her gorgeous nails. Whether they're gold or burgundy, they are always long and perfectly manicured.
I thought that French manicures were on their way out, but then along comes Heidi and Britney Spears bringing this classic back again. Most of you think they're tacky and should be saved for formal occasions only. For the rest of you who are still loyal fans, here are two great at-home French manicure kits I think you'll love.
Sephora Easy French Manicure Duos ($8) is a double-ended nail varnish that houses either a beige or a pink color on one side and a clear base and topcoat on the other. However, if you're looking to create the white tip, you still need another product. I suggest this French Tip Pen ($8) since it's so easy to use.
For one more easy-to-use French manicure kit, read more.
Barielle French Manicure Set ($16) contains an opaque white, a clear and a pale pink polish that allows you to create a French manicure in five simple steps.

364 Tasting Notes
Picked this one up on my recent excursion to Wooster. The long straggly black leaves are enticing and I love a good Irish Breakfast…Tea and actual Irish Breakfast. A malty aroma eminates…and then. Eh I have to say this is a soft cookie Irish breakfast. There should be a lot brightness to it. It's fairly smooth but have that subtle peppery bite that you would expect from Irish breakfast.
This is my first Milk Oolong type tea. Thanks to Teavivre for allowing me to sample this tea. I already love Oolongs for their nutty and buttery characteristic. So I was excited to try this one. I have a pouch of Verde au Lait that I acquired in a trade and it fell short of the goal. I made it at work and shared with my co-worker who I am making a tea lover as well. A pale yellow liquor typical with most green oolongs. I've been going nuts a bit with getting a week ahead on music logs since the baby will be here any day, and I've been re-inventing our broadcast clocks…tea is much needed. This is great! Milky? I am not really getting a milky flavor from this tea. Buttery? Absolutely! I feel like I'm in the theater enjoying a huge bucket of popcorn with double butter. For dinner last night I made garlic lime shrimp in a butter sauce. I think this would make a great butter substitute in cooking. Four tasty pots were made with the leaves.
Pardon my absence from the Steepsterverse. Work schedule has been kinda nutty as of late. Has a nice malty cocoa like flavor. Reminds me a lot of the Gonfu black from Teavivre. Very smooth. Somewhat grainy like whole wheat bread. Another great offering from Teavivre
Picked this one up on a recent trip into the mall. I guess it's part of the interesting dichotomy about Teavana is you switch a few ingredients…and you have a different Teavana tea. For instance take the Cha Yen Thai. Subtract the black tea and pineapple and add apple and voila Zinginber Ginger. However this is not a bad thing cause the Cha Yen is hands down one of my favorite teas. Enjoying it after father's day lunch with my wife and daughter. MMMMM baby back ribs and tea. Yes a good day indeed.
I received my shipment from Teavivre the other day wickedly excited of course. As I am finding with other teas there are many degrees of the lapsang…like Kevin Bacon. Which reminds me of one of the most amazing sandwiches I had from Melt in Cleveland named the 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon(six kinds of bacon!). A great tie in to lapsang or Tea review ADD? You decide. I do love lapsang and I'm finding that I like the more subtle lapsangs as well. I'm starting to appreciate lapsangs that have a great black tea base as well as the smoke. This one is a little less smokey. Much like the Upton Black Dragon as opposed to the strong smokiness of Dr. Tea's. There's a little sweetness that comes through. I'm also detecting some nuttiness(almond) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qtEjJuGo_U As much as I love drinking lapsang I also love cooking with it. I combined this with Man tea's Jalapeno black and made a turkey brine and then smoked the turkey. Another great lapsang
I picked this up hoping that it help clear up the last bit of bronchitis I've been battling. I'm happy to say that it's been helping. It does really seem to help get the phlem moving out. I know that's so appetizing but that's what it's suppose to do. Flavor…well I'm really sure if the flavor is the main concern with a medicinal tea. It's fairly tasty. I like the sweetness of the licorice on the end of the sip like with a good licorice oolong. Reminds me of the halls commercial in the bath house…Breathe my friend!
There are those days when simplicity is what is just what the doctor ordered. I have mentioned it before but a good jasmine green is truly a delight. Warms the soul and calms the spirit. Especially since I've been battling getting rid of bronchitis. The lungs are purring like a kitty and not in a good way. I love this tea. Reminds me of Summer Breeze by Seals of Crofts. I can't believe I have not reviewed this yet!
Found this tea at Marc's for about 2.50 a box. It's not too shabby for a bagged tea. I'm not sure if I've been on the receiving end of a bigger energy boost because of the saffron, but still a tasty tea. The Assam is pretty good and I can tell that it is a darker oolong. I like that semi roasted oolong flavor to this tea. In a pinch it's a good quick work pick me up.
Otea is the name of the loose leaf tea brand at the local asian market. I have tried to find more info on the company but to no avail. I have to say though that they just really have some great quality tea and it's very modestly priced. I needed get some more dynasty peanut satay sauce. It is amazing if you like spice and flavor…which is also what I'm finding with this tea. I have had other ginger peach combinations and they just aren't up to snuff. They smell great but once brewed don't equal the pre-steep excitement. The dry leaf smells like candy! It's purely intoxicating. On personal note I'm not a huge fan of darjeelings. However the mix on this one is just right. Usually the ginger overpowers the other flavors in the tea. I like this one because you can pick up the subtle sweetness of the peach. I gave the hairbrush to the peach…cause he's got hair(Veggietales anyone). For $2 dollars an ounce this one is definitely going into the permanent collection.
I have tried the Jasmine Dragon Pearls and the Organic Keemun and green, too. I did not know the brand was Otea. I put my reviews under CAM (Cleveland Asia Market). My only concern was how long the tea had been in those glass jars….
Oh, where is my hairbrush….. Everybody's got a waterbuffalo, yours is fast but mine is slow… My two favorites! ;D
