- What is a Choral Book, a Director's Aide and Video, or an Accompaniment CD? How do I know what I am ordering? Do you have descriptions of all your products listed?
- Complete descriptions of all products is on the PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS page:
- a link to the product descriptions appears to the right on each product page
- On the Product Description page, products are listed by title under different categories. Look for the category (ie, Kathie Hill Classics) or look for the title of the musical within the categories (ie, "Christmas in Reverse is under Kathie Hill/Word Musicals)
- Then look for the product name (ie, "choral book") in that category
- If I order digital product in PDF, MP3 or WMV format, will I receive it by email or how can I download it?
- Digital product is not delivered by email, but can be downloaded as soon as your payment has processed by following these simple steps:
- Click the DETAILED INVOICE link which appears in your order confirmation email or return to the Kathie Hill Music eStore (kathiehillmusic.com) and click MY ACCOUNT in the green bar at the top of the home page.
- LOG IN using the email address and password with which you set up your account. If you have forgotten your password, click the FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD link that appears immediately below the log in area and a new password will be emailed to you immediately upon request. (NOTE: You must use the same email address you used with your order/when you signed up for your account. If you no longer have access to that email address and therefore cannot receive your new password, CONTACT us.)
- In the Previous Orders area select the order which includes your digital product by clicking the VIEW button to its right.
- In the download files section of your order detail, click the blue DOWNLOAD button which should initiate a dialoge window asking if you want to save the file or open it. If you see a message stating that your download has expired see the next FAQ below.
- If prompted, do not choose to open the file/s, but SAVE them to your hard drive in a location where you can easily find them and labeled as the product name or Kathie Hill Music.
- Once your download has completed you can open or unzip the file (you should simply be able to locate the file and right-click for PCs or control-click for Macs and choose an option that offers to un-compress or unzip the file) from the location where it was saved.
- Print your files based on the number of paid licenses purchased (ie, 3 copies for choral books or vocal charts, 5 copies for Rhythm Charts, etc.) Should you need to print or make additional photo copies you must return to KathieHillMusic.com and purchase the necessary licenses (3 licenses for 9 copies, 5 licenses for 15 copies, etc.) Only your integrity regarding this issue will allow us to continue providing the convenience and savings available through the digital downloads.
- What if I can't download my files?
- Your download is available to you for 7 days and 7 attempts. We recommend you use the Save as option in your browser (Right-click on link on PC and Ctrl-click on MAC for submenu) to save a permanent copy to a safe location. If your link has expired CONTACT US by phone or email and we will reactivate your download/s for 7 additional days and 7 more attempts. If you have difficulty on one computer, try downloading from another computer before contacting us.
- What if I lose or accidentally delete my file/s?
- Like physical product that is lost or broken, we cannot replace digital files without payment. Simply reorder the product/s and repeat the download process.
- Why can't I find a Preview Pak for most of your musicals?
- If preview paks are still available from the publisher, we can offer them online. But once the books go out of stock or to "print on demand" they are no longer available to us to list on our site.
In the case of the "mixed" products like the Kathie Hill Classics and the WAM! 4 Kids releases, the books are only available digitally, so there are no physical books to include in a preview pak. This is why Listening CDs for these products are priced lower than others or they can be downloaded, saving you the cost of shipping a physical CD. - Can I order products over the phone?
- We'll be glad to answer questions not covered in our FAQ by phone, but all orders must be placed online through the KathieHillMusic.com web store. This provides us with an electronic record of your order for shipping/download purposes & royalty payment to our writers and provides you a detailed list of your orders under your ACCOUNT information as well as access to any digital products you purchase. More importantly, it provides online financial security as we have no verbal or written record of your credit card information.
- When you order online you have the benefit of: having no one (including us) know your credit information except Paypal, which processes your Visa, MasterCard or Paypal account info
- having a permanent account which allows you to place orders without re-entering all your shipping information
- having a record of your orders that we can pull up immediately to answer any questions you might have
- allowing us to have better records for paying our royalties, taxes, etc.
- Does all product ship directly from Kathie Hill Music?
- All product will ship directly from KHM via USPS unless we are low in stock on one or more of your items. To ensure fastest delivery, we wil have those items drop shipped from the original distributor via UPS.
- Can you track a package we have not received?
- We can confirm the delivery of all Priority Mail shipments and send a USPS tracking number for all Express shipments. For quesitons on drop shipped product contact us and we will provide a UPS tracking number from the distributor who shipped that product.
- What do I do if I'm having difficulty shopping online?
- You can contact us directly with your questions using information on our Contact Us page.
- Can I pay by check?
Online ordering provides the fastest shipping and online records, but we do provide a pay by check option at checkout.
During checkout, choose the pay by check option and complete the checkout process. Once you receive the order confirmation by email, print that confirmation out and mail it along with a check for the appropriate amount to:
Kathie Hill Music
208 Buffalo Run
Goodlettsville, TN 37072- Is sales tax added to my purchase?
Our store automatically charges Tennessee residents sales tax on all orders, but the TN TAX is refunded through Paypal on all credit card orders. TN Residents paying by check or money order can deduct the sales tax from their product total.
- What advantage is there in ordering from Kathie Hill Music?
- KHM warehouses only KHM product and on site. That means that we can process and ship your order quickly, often on the same day it is received. Orders on older products may require a drop shipment from that publisher, but we can always give you the most accurate information on product descriptions & availability.
- Do you have a choral club or way to receive product samples for an annual fee?
- Our goal is not to have a new musical, collection or product every quarter, but to provide you with the best, most innovative product. Also, because much of our new product is digital you will achieve greater savings by purchasing downloads to preview music than through the traditional choral club or preview pack.
- Can I use my Word Choral Club member number for a discount on products?
- As Kathie Hill Music is no longer exclusively distributed through Word Music we cannot offer discounts to their choral club members.
- Where can I get a coupon code for that entry on my order?
- Coupon codes are often included our email blasts. To receive those, make sure you subscribe to our email list here: www.kathiehillmusic.com/emailSubscribe.html
- What is a licensed digital download?
- There is no manufactured product to ship. Instead you can immediately download the master files to your computer (PDFs to print, MP3s to burn to CD or play from an iPod or computer, or video (WMVs) to burn to a data DVD or play from your computer) and, using instructions provided, make copies equal to the number of licenses you purchased. Upon process of payment, log into your KathieHillMusic.com, go to MY ACCOUNT-ORDERS and download your masters. Because of the size of some files a broadband connection is recommended. Face plates and sequence inserts are provided.
NOTE: Your honesty in making copies equal to your paid licenses will dictate whether we can continue this service.
- Is it legal to copy music?
It is illegal to photocopy printed music or duplicate recorded music or video without permission of the publisher and paying the specified royalty. It is also illegal to make more copies of digital music than you have a paid license to make.
If music is still in print, the simplest thing to do is to purchase more copies of it. If you need extra copies of individual songs for music that is out of print, you will need to contact the publisher who may let you make copies for a fee of (approximately) $.75-1.25 per song/per copy with minimum license fees of $15-20. To copy an entire book or musical the fee is approximately $5.00 per copy.

- Can I copy or project the words only?
- The lyrics and/or script to all music are also copyrighted material. Copies: If you have purchased choral books/music for your choir, you may make an equal number of words-only copies for your children for convenience use only. For example, if you want to make the words only copies for the kids to take home to learn the musical, instead of having them take the books home, that is permissible. The number of words-only copies must equal the number of books you have purchased,may not be used to further the number of copies of the musical.
Projection: You will need permission and a paid license from the publisher to reproduce the words in any form, and such permission may carry a fee (from $15 - 20 per song for up to 500 viewers). If you have a CCLI license it does not extend to music prepared for non-congregational performance, including children's musicals. Under the CCLI license, handouts and overheads can only be prepared for congregational singing.
- Is it legal to transfer music to overheads, flipcharts, posters, presentation software or slides?
- Again, CCLI does not cover use of overheads, but you can pay a fee of approximately $20 per individual song or $150 for all songs in a musical or collection. Those fees are also paid to the individual licensing agent (listed above) or WAM! 4 Kids songs, Tri Song Samplers, Preschool Praise'ntations songs and Songs & Chants for Antsy Pants songs, contact email@example.com and you to be invoiced for these fees. (For more information, see www.CCLI.com.)
- Can I copy the cassettes and CDs?
- Bulk CDs are available for most Kathie Hill musicalssold in packs at reduced prices. If you want to make your own CDs, you must (you guessed it) obtain permission from the publisher who will probably charge a minimum license rate of $18.20 depending on the number of units requested.
- Is it legal to make videos of our production?
- The copyright law prohibits copying songs on videotapes and other recording devices without permission, even for copying at special functions. However, if you want to create such recordings for your church library, shut-ins, etc., a CCLI should cover such activity at or by your church. (For more information, see www.CCLI.com.) If you want to distribute multiple copies (for profit, at cost, or for free), you will need to contact the publisher of the musical for synchronization licensing information.
- What if we want to sell tickets to our performance?
- If a musical is being performed outside the context of a regular church service, particularly if the performance is given in exchange for a ticket (including donations at the door), a performance license may be needed. The royalty for the license is reasonable, and the amount varies based on conditions such as how many performances will be given, the ticket price, how many people the venue seats, whether it's a dinner theatre environment, how much was spent on the books, recordings, and accompaniment product, etc.
For more information or to obtain a performance license, please contact us at KathieHillMusic.com.
- How about reproducing the artwork or logos?
- Any of the artwork pertinent to the music which appears in the choral book, DAV or on websites is reproducible for tee shirts, bulletins, programs, etc. However, you cannot sell the tee shirts or other items that you create with the logo. Also, as a courtesy, please only use the clip art included when you perform a Kathie Hill musical in it's original form. If you are creating your own script or using portions of other musicals, please create your own clip art also.
- Can I loan music to other churches/schools?
- There is no law that prohibits the lending of music, but my experience is that the music never comes back in the same shape it was lent, and sometimes it never comes back at all! If you choose musicals that have great songs that can be used by themselves, you will be building a library of quality children's repertoire that you should be able to pull from time and again.
- Do you have performance videos of your musicals?
A Performance Video is a full production of the musical by a children's choir. That will be a listed product, in VHS or DVD format.
A Demonstration Video is an "Instructional Video" is included in the DAV for each musical from Kathie Hill Music with others choreography videos available separately from other publishers. These videos show you, not only the set, props and costumes, but also include a brief description of how they are made. There are close-up demonstrations of small group, large group and individual choreography for most of the songs in the musicals and in several instances, the Instructional Videos in the DAV includes video footage or images you can use in your performance. However, there are not full performance videos available unless they have been sent tome by churches who have performed a particular musical.
NOTE: Pay-by-check orders will not be shipped until your check is received by Kathie Hill Music.

Northern Exposure: My favorite bites in Ilocos (part1)
Ilocos is a region with a distinct cuisine and a lot of history surrounding it. It is also a very popular cuisine…having spread its delicious influence southwards so that non-ilocanos, like me, are lulled into believing a dish like pinakbet (a steamed/braised vegetable dish) was ours all our lives. One such dish of Ilocano provenance is bagnet, what I like to think of as a chicharon/pork belly confit hybrid. To a pork-chick like me, a kind of holy grail. So, aside from all the famous sites of that region, I was also very (very!) much looking forward to the food. Here are my highlights:
Bagnet –This was the number one dish I was itching to try right in its homeland (I have had a number of times before in Manila – like this time!). Bagnet is made of pork belly (other choice cuts are used as well) that is boiled, then rested, then put in a slow deep fry, then chopped up and deep fried again quickly to crisp up. Scary to some, almost unbearably divine to others (i.e. me). We had it at three places and I enjoyed it every single time. It is served traditionally with KBL (kamatis, bagoong, lasona) – tomatoes, fish sauce, and onions. Bagoong in Manila is usually shrimp paste, but in Ilocos it is unrepentantly powerful fish sauce. This, for me, is the best condiment to have with bagnet, the strong flavors cutting through the fattiness of the pork like a culinary light saber.
We had bagnet in La Preciosa Restaurant in Laoag, at Sitio Remedios our resort, and in Saud Beach Resort Pagudpud. I like the one in La Preciosa the best, although really I enjoyed every one.
Poqui poqui – Strange name, simple dish. Touted as the Ilocano version of tortang talong, it is made up of eggplant, onions, tomato, and egg. Now, I love tortang talong, not just like, love, so I was certainly going to try its northern cousin. As expected, when the combination of egg and eggplant are involved, I loved this too. Grilled eggplant is sautéed with tomatoes, onion, and egg. Simple, yes, but at La Preciosa restaurant it was so sneakily tasty that I unconsciously kept going back to it until I realized just how much of it I had eaten! This is definitely a dish I will recreate at home!
Dinendeng – I wanted to try dinegdeng because aside from being a typical Ilocano dish, it wasn't as popular down here as, say, pinakbet, which can almost be called a staple in many Filipino tables. Either a vegetable soup with fish, or a fish soup with a whole lot of vegetables, I honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. But I did! The broth is flavored with fish sauce (bagoong isda, not patis) and a few pieces of fried or grilled fish. The star of this soup for me though is the vegetables. They are vibrant and green, if cooked just right…bright, sweet-grassy notes in an otherwise mild fish soup. Mostly green vegetables are used – ours had okra, ampalaya/bitter melon, sitaw/long beans or snake beans, squash flowers, sigarilyas/winged beans, and these little pods that come from the malunggay plant. We had this at La Preciosa and at Sitio Remedios. I like the one at Sitio Remedios better but both were very good.
Vigan Longanisa – In the Philippines there seems to be a longanisa (like a sausage or chorizo) for every region…even some cities boast their own. I count myself lucky as I adore longanisa and, thanks to all these regions churning out their own versions, always have a nice selection in the freezer (right now it's Lucban, Vigan, Zamboanga…and some made by a friend right here in Manila!). So it goes without saying that I would be trying my share of Vigan's version. I enjoyed this savory, garlicky, longanisa every morning for breakfast at our resort, but the Vigan longanisa I enjoyed most was the one I brought back home with me…fried by C that same night :) Maybe because it really is best freshly fried? C loved it too so we are jealously guarding our stash…
Pinakbet – No trip to Ilocos would be complete, food-wise, without trying pinakbet. Pinakbet is a braise (well, technically I think it's steamed) of various vegetables native to the region, flavored with fish sauce (again, not patis but their own "bagoong isda"). Vegetables commonly included are ampalaya/bitter melon, eggplant, okra, and sitaw/long beans. Other vegetables, depending on what's available, are also tossed in the mix. Where I come from, we also add squash. As a child I would try to pick out the ampalaya pieces behind my mother's back. In Ilocos I gamely took them on…even if the mini ampalaya they use is stronger in flavor. I got a few good pieces down though and it was not as bitter as I feared. Am I outgrowing irrational childhood food traits? I hope so! :) We had pinakbet in Sitio Remedios and Pinakbet Pizza in Plaza Burgos in Vigan. I still prefer my pinakbet with rice though, thank you :)
La Preciosa Restaurant - Rizal Street, Laoag City, Ilocos Norte
Sitio Remedios – Barangay Victoria, Currimao, Ilocos Norte
Saud Beach Resort – Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte
Plaza Burgos – Vigan, Ilocos Sur (walk up Calle Crisologo and you will hit it); there are a few restaurants surrounding the plaza but you can sit at a table on the plaza itself and they can serve you there.
NOTE: Nena has put up her first post on our Ilocos trip! She will be doing a whole series on our adventure, so keep checking back at Ramblings From a Gypsy Soul for her wonderful travel writing and beautiful photos! :)

Hi Glamah16! We are of the same mind! :)
Hi Manggy! Hehe...longanisa as therapy...is that your professional opinion? ;) Coz I definitely agree!
Hi Dhanggit! I can just imagine...when I was working abroad I would eat all Pinoy food when I would come home for holidays :) Whereabouts in the Philippines will you be headed? :)
Hi Mike! Yay! A partner in crime :) - 10:19 PM

Sigh, you're making me crave all of that wonderful food all over again! The food was indeed a highlight and I swear the dinendeng and poqui poqui were such revelations! I've vowed to try making the latter as well. :)
- oggi said...
OMG! The bagnet makes me hungry!
Poqui poqui is a strange name.:) - 2:23 AM

Joey, that bagnet is simply a piece of heaven. I am going to make a special request for it from my brothers when I visit the Philippines.
- Marvin said...
"cutting through the fattiness of the pork like a culinary light saber."

oh my god, longganisa, i cant even tell you the last time ive seen that..... we have a filipino food restaurant in richmond that i've been meaning to check out, called manila! manila! this has made me more excited and motivated.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Nens! I am craving too! Good thing I've got bagnet and longanisa in the freezer :) I totally agree that dinengdeng and poqui poqui were revelations...let me know when you find a good recipe and I'll do likewise :)
Hahaha! Hi Oggi! It is more than strange I think ;) Believe me, even the Ilocanos made comments!
Hi Veron! I'm sure you will like it...especially since you have had first hand experience in making your own pork belly confit (bravo!) :) Are you visiting anytime soon?
Hi Marvin! It's always nice to sneak a little Star Wars in :) Patis (which you are familiar with I believe) is the fish sauce we commonly use as a condiment or an ingredient in many dishes (this is what you use to dip your mom's lumpia in). Bagoong isda (fermented fish paste) is slightly thicker than patis, although much more liquid than the more common shrimp bagoong. It is darker than patis and cloudy...unlike patis which is clear. And ohboyohboy does it pack a punch! They also make this in Batangas where it's called Bagoong Balayan :)
Hello Tiny Mango! Thanks for dropping by :) Good to hear you have a Filipino restaurant opening nearby you...hope it's good! - 12:22 PM

i was born in ilocos [bacarra near laoag] and grew up there a bit [then hawaii, NYC, NM]. those food you depicted are in my veins and still sustain me [i try to recreate them as often as possible here in albuquerque nm or when i used to live in nyc] but i can actually conjure the characteristic aroma of each dish in my brain. it is that deep seated. great post!
- Bordeaux said...
Oh yes, the bagnet looks really yummy. Would love to go try it in the Beautiful Ilocos myself. Looking forward to Part 2 of this series!
- aria said...
holy heavens, your pictures are so beautiful! it all looks fantastic, now i'm ravenous!! YUM
- charcuterista said...
I have to agree - the Bagnat looks fantastic! Great photo! I have a large peice of pork belly coming in this weekend - most of it is already designated as pancetta, but maybe I can use part of it for this...
- Suzana said...
Joey, it sounds like great fun! That bagnet... wow! Looking forward to hear more about the trip. :)
- Rosa's Yummy Yums said...
What wonderful dishes! Yummy!

Swoooon! I've really enjoyed reading your blog. Thank you for sharing so much with us.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Sakai! I share your excitement :)
Hi Sub-urban Rambler! It's so nice to know this post has reached a local Ilocano :) Glad you enjoyed it...your region is so beautiful, and the food fantastic!
Hi Bordeaux! I hope to have the 2nd part up soon! :)
Hi Aria! Thanks :) The food was really amazing!
Hi Charcuterista! You make your own pancetta! How impressive :) Would love to be your neighbor, heehee :)
Hi Suzana! Bagnet is awesome in my book...albeit not the healthiest thing in the world ;)
Hi Rosa! They really were :)
Hi there Just a Plane Ride Away! Thanks for stopping by and so happy to know you enjoyed the post :) - 2:31 PM
- Burniki said...
Hi, I'm a fan of your blog :D Yeah I recently visited Vigan and Pagudpud too and reading these posts about your Northern adventures made me feel wistful!
Anyways, you didn't try the Pipian? It's a very interesting dish, I can't make out the taste though. You'll find out what I'm talking about when you get a taste of it. Take Care! - 7:58 AM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Burniki! Thanks for you nice comment! I'm glad you are enjoying my blog :) :) Just writing these Ilocos posts made me feel wistful too! I don't think we got to try Pipian...more for next time! :)

It's open on Duke Go Grab it!
Though it's going slow right now.... 4 hours for the LiveCD and 12 hours for the DVD. Time to find a better mirror.
F7 Test 1 is finally shipping in about an hour from now... though that hasn't stopped me from going through all of the mirrors looking for an open mirror (I didn't get any early copy). I found one open mirror in Taiwan, but that one was corrupted and the DVD ended up being 1GB Then I ended up finding a US one with open-access to 32-bit disc 1! So I downloaded that to at least take a look at Anaconda, but then that broke after 10MB.
I think I'll just wait another 45 minutes for the official mirrors to open. Though next time I'll just code a program to traverse all official mirrors looking for early access.
It's open on Duke Go Grab it!
Though it's going slow right now.... 4 hours for the LiveCD and 12 hours for the DVD. Time to find a better mirror.
I'm downloading the dvd at 300kB/sec right now. I should be able to do an install in an hour or so.
What mirror are you using? My original downloads have since chocked. Though the Kernel.org mirror is now up and going very well.
I was not using a mirror, I used bittorrent. The download is over, I will install in a few hours.
Good writeup on the first test build Michael, it looks sharp. I love the looks of the new icons and the fact an easy to use installer is there for the taking.
What's up with the lack of GCC though? Geez.
The lack of GCC is due to Fedora developers claiming a normal desktop user not compiling things... that they should just use yum.
I downloaded the installer dvd. I could not install on an nf7-s (Barton 3200+) computer, seems like pata devices were not recognized. Tomorrow I will try installing on an Intel platform P4 email@example.com and an Asus p5wd2 Premium.
I haven't had any problems with PATA devices... You might want to try booting it with all-generic-ide argument just to see if that does anything.

Very truly yours, John Venditto Town Supervisor. Bethpage Memorial Gathering Remembering the Victims Honoring the Heroes On Wednesday, September 11 a special gathering is being held to honor the victims and remember the hoeroes of the tragedies of one year ago. At 6:45- 7:30pm the churches and synagogues throughout Bethpage will be holding prayer services and liturgies each in their own faith...in their own way. Following the religious services, the congregations will march in a candlelight procession to the Bethpage Memorial Gathering in downtown Bethpage. At 8:00pm a candlelight vigil will be held at the Rotary Memorial in parking lot B-5 - south of the LIRR - on Stewart Avenue, across from 7-Eleven. There will be an interfaith service to comfort families, friends and neighbors of the victims of 9/11. The prayer offering will also honor all of the rescue and recovery workers and give thanks for the generosity of people whose financial and emotional support have sustained the surviving victims of this act of terrorism. The candlelight vigil is being sponsored by an ad hoc committee that includes clergy, elected officials, members of the Bethpage Fire Department, Chamber of Commerce and various other civic organizations. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL COUNCILWOMAN MARY MCCAFFERY AT 624-6319. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR PLACE OF WORSHIP FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS WELL AS EXACT TIME SCHEDULES FOR EACH REGILIOUS SERVICE. WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! It's Back to School Time Supervisor John Venditto recently composed a letter which appears on the Town of Oyster Bay Website. We wanted to provide residents with the information in that letter as well as some additional facts in regards to the Bethpage Community Pool. We will also be updating the community as new information is received. Dear Resident, I am taking this opportunity to update you on the PCB contamination at the Bethpage Community Park and nearby residential properties. I have indicated in previous communications to residents that elevated levels of PCB's were found in test soil samples taken earlier this year at the park and, more recently, at nearby residential properties. At the urging of the Town, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) convened a public meeting on June 19 to inform the community about the contamination and plans for further testing. While the DEC and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) indicated that there were no immediate health concerns due to the contaminants, after careful consideration of all of the facts and the concerns of the community, I opted to keep the park closed until more information was known. In addition to closing the park following the disclosure of PCB contamination, the Town has been working closely with State and federal officials to resolve this issue. SOME OF THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: * The NYSDEC, which is the agency responsible for overseeing soil testing and the remediation process, has determined that, much, if not all, of the contamination in the park and nearby residential properties is the result of waste disposal activities by Northrop Grumman and the Navy. * The NYSDEC has put Northrop Grumman and the Navy on notice that they must now move to the next phase of the investigation and remediation process. * The Town has contacted Congressman Peter King and is working closely with him to convince both Northrop Grumman and the Navy to comply with the NYSDEC's request. *The NYSDEC is in the process of convening a meeting with Northrop Grumman, the Navy, the Town and other involved agencies to resolve outstanding issues. *The Town has retained outside legal counsel to advice us regarding this matter. Some of the issues counsel will be exploring are how the Town can negotiate with, or otherwise compel, the responsible parties to clean up the park, and if they refuse to do the work, what legal remedies the Town has to recover the cost of the cleanup from them. ADDITIONALLY , THE TOWN: * Asked the NYSDEC/DOH to test residential properties that immediately abut the Northrop Grumman Plant 24 access road. Seven of the 20 properties tested were found to contain PCBs above the federal standard. The NYSDEC has indicated that further, more comprehensive testing will be done to the 20 properties. As lead agency, the NYSDEC is dealing directly with the homeowner regarding testing and the results of those tests. *Asked the NYSDEC/DOH to conduct testing of residential properties beyond those that abut the access road. The NYSDEC has indicated that as their investigation continues, they will test additional properties as the data indicates is warranted. "Engaged an outside environmental consultant to take soil samples in the park, which were then compared to additional samples taken by the NYSDEC and NYSDOH. The results of these tests confirmed the initial findings that some areas of the park do have elevated levels of PCBs. The consultant is continuing to review all that data given to the Town by the NYSDEC/DOH. *Took remedial measures recommended by the NYSDEC/DOH, which included covering all open dirt areas in the park. * Mailed informational letters to the park district residents, one informing them of the contamination and the closing of the park and another inviting resident to the NYSDEC meeting on June 19. One of the questions I know is on the minds of many residents is when will the park reopen. Following discussion with the NYSDEC and NYSDOH, the Town will, in the next few weeks, be reevaluating the decision to close the park with an eye toward a partial opening of some facilities. As for the remediation, it is premature, at this point, to speculate on a time frame for remediation to take place, but the Town is doing everything in its power to expedite the process.

Who says a wastebasket has to be boring? SpaceSavers offers wastebaskets to fit every style and design. With our wastebaskets including wire, faux leather, wicker, and more, wastebaskets can now become a decorative piece in your office space.
Style and function do not have to be antonyms. SpaceSavers loves to transform what may have been a servile beast in the past into an operational beauty today. Your office space does not have to be drab and dull, monotonous or uniform. It can exude panache. Take the humble wastebasket, for example. Its primary purpose is to literally hold the waste or trash from a day's work. Just because it holds the refuse from your hard labors, does not mean it needs to stand out like the ugly duckling among swans. If you like to keep your office space attractive, welcoming, and stylish, your wastebasket should lend itself to the overarching office décor. SpaceSavers can help turn the ugly duckling of your office into a swan that does not detract from the overall look of the décor. If you love the modern look of a wire basket, but want it to have a bit more style, we are here to help. We not only have one kind of wire basket, but a variety of different styles to choose from. We have edgy, delicate, subtle, to bold wire baskets. You won't have to keep this wastebasket hidden under your desk. This is no ordinary trash can. We have faux leather waste receptacles. It is contemporary, but not cold. The fabric feel of these wastebaskets will give warmth to your office setting. It helps elevate the look of your office space, instead of bringing it down. The embossed woven pattern gives a sense of visual texture as well. You will not be disappointed by the way this trash can holds the garbage and holds onto style. If you love traditional, more natural materials in your furnishings, we recommend choosing from one of our wicker wastebaskets. You can go natural, with just the natural wicker coloring, or you can go more vintage chic with the white wicker. Wicker is beautiful, classic, and timeless. It works well in many traditional styles. It hides whatever you are tossing into the wastebasket from everyone's eyes, making for a less chaotic and cluttered look to your office. Wicker pairs well with canvas, so if you also store some of your office essentials with some of SpaceSavers' canvas storage boxes, the wicker wastebasket will compliment the natural look of the canvas. For a vintage modern look, try using one of our elegant faux suede wastebaskets. The striped interior paired with the solid neutral faux suede is elegant, modern, and with the addition of the stripes, lends itself well to any vintage modern décor. It's so beautiful. You are not going to want to keep it hidden. If you love the faux suede, but aren't sold on the stripes for your décor, we also have a faux suede wastebasket that looks as if someone has tied it up with a black ribbon like a package. It gives a window panel effect that is elegant and charming. We think you will love it. Maybe you will love it so much that you will get a second one, window pane style, but in a round version of it. We have that too. So, give even your most humble of furnishings some style. Your office does not have to be boring. It can reflect your style with the right office accessories and furniture to fit your kind of taste. Even the lowly wastebasket adds to your overall décor in your office space. So, design the perfect stylish office with the right wastebasket from SpaceSavers. Toss that boring old plastic thing that is too small, anyway, in the, well, in the garbage. You are moving on up in style.

A "Skrull" is a faker, a poser, an intruder who pretends to be friendly but you can already tell means to do you or your friends/associates harm. The term is from the name "Skrull", as in the fictional alien race of shapeshifters in Marvel Comics intent on invading Earth.

Basic RagaMuffin Information
- Lifespan: 15 - 18 years
- Weight: 10 - 20 pounds
Medical Conditions Seen in RagaMuffin
RagaMuffin Traits
- Lap Cat
- Intelligence
- Ease of Training
- Grooming Requirements
- Shedding
- Good with Children
- Good with Dogs
- Chattiness
RagaMuffin History
- One can trace this breed's ancestry back to Josephine, the Ragdoll original cat from the 1960s.
- This spin-off breed earned the name, RagaMuffin in the 1990s by breeders who split from the Ragdoll group when they felt their cats were treated like street orphans.
- This breed was developed in 1994 as a result of out crossing to Persians, Himalayans and Domestic Longhairs.
- The United Feline Organization was the first to accept RagaMuffins at its cat shows.
- The Cat Fanciers Association recognized the RagaMuffin in the miscellaneous class in 2003.
RagaMuffin Behavior Concerns
- The RagaMuffin doesn't let its big size stop them from their focused quest: to cuddle on laps. This is a very docile, easygoing breed.
- This breed is known for quietly shadowing their favorite people from room to room. It is not unusual for them to be waiting at the door to greet their people when they come home from work.
- If you are looking for a cat breed who tolerates children, look no further. In fact, these mellow, tolerant felines have been discovered inside many a baby stroller on walks.
- Possesses a strange but lovable affinity for jumping inside boxes.
- Not very hunter-like, the RagaMuffin fares better when kept indoors. It does not do a good job of fending for itself outside against predators.
Look of RagaMuffins
- Although related to the Ragdoll, the RagaMuffin differs in that its medium-length coat comes in almost every color of the rainbow. A Ragdoll comes in only three specific pointed colors - solid point, mitted, and bicolor.
- The most popular RagaMuffin coat colors are blue, brown tabby with white, tortoiseshell and mink. It feels soft, like rabbit's fur.
- A RagaMuffin's head is more rounded and wedge-shaped and the nose has more of a slight dip than a Ragdoll. Final difference: a Ragdoll's walnut-shaped eyes are always blue, but a RagaMuffin's eyes come in a variety of hues.
- This hefty-sized, long-bodied breed sports a long tail, powerful shoulders and a broad chest.
- The RagaMuffin is a slow grower, taking up to four years to fully attain physical maturity.
Grooming RagaMuffin Cats
- This breed's medium-length, silky coat is mat-resistant and benefits by weekly combings to rid the coat of any dead hair.
Suggested Nutritional Needs for RagaMuffins
- The RagaMuffin is prone to developing a fatty pad on its lower abdomen, so it is vital to measure food portions daily to prevent obesity.
Fun Facts of RagaMuffins
- This breed goes by the affectionate nickname, "Muffin." It is also known as "Daughters of Josephine," a reference to the cat credited with being the original Ragdoll, the cousins of the RagaMuffins.
- The rare, expensive breed can cost as much as $1,000 per kitten.
Did you know?
- A decrease in cat grooming behavior may indicate they are in pain.
- Some cat parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your cat.

MSPB eyes gaps in employee motivation
Monday - 1/7/2013, 6:42pm EST
From tightened purse strings to a rapidly retiring workforce, federal agencies face a potential witches' brew when it comes to maintaining employee motivation, the Merit Systems Protection Board found in a new report.
In "Federal Employee Engagement: The Motivating Potential of Job Characteristics and Rewards," the agency responsible for ensuring federal workforce policies are on the up and up, points to the importance of keeping employees engaged, especially amid the uncertainty roiling through the federal community.
"Having skilled, engaged employees is more important than ever, especially in light of austere fiscal conditions, budget constraints, impending retirements and public debate over the value of federal employees and their work," the MSPB report stated.
In general, federal workers are a mostly motivated bunch. More than 70 percent of federal employees reported that they feel "highly motivated" at work, according to MSPB's research.
But drilling deeper into the data, the agency found gaps in two key areas: Many federal employees do not feel all that motivated by the specific characteristics of their jobs, and they increasingly feel that job performance is disconnected from reward.
Are federal jobs motivating?
MSPB found that many employees say certain characteristics of their jobs are not particularly motivating.
MSPB measured employee engagement using the "motivation potential level," which factors in how significant employees rate the work they do, the variety of skills required for their jobs and their ability to complete entire projects as opposed to repetitive piecemeal work.
According to the research, just 21 percent of respondents reported high levels of job-related motivation potential. Another 52 percent had mid-level scores and 27 percent reported low levels of job motivation potential.
MSPB recommended several tweaks to job design, such as giving employees more say in scheduling and performing their work.
"One key is to give employees meaningful work and the autonomy, support and feedback they need to succeed," said MSPB Chair Susan Grundmann, in a release announcing the agency's findings. These changes won't necessarily put a dent in agency's already beleaguered budgets. "Often, significant improvements can be made on a cost-neutral basis," she added.
Money may not be most important reward
Many employees also said job performance is not adequately recognized and is often seemingly disconnected from rewards, such as bonuses or promotions.
But not all rewards valued by employees are monetary, MSPB found. More respondents singled out nonmonetary awards, such as personal satisfaction and having interesting work, than bonuses, for example.
Still, the rewards in the federal government are not all that rewarding, according to employees.
Just 23 percent of the survey respondents indicated strong levels of correlation between performance and recognition, MSPB's research found.
"In other words, 77 percent of federal employees did not perceive strong connections between the effort they expend, the performance that results and the rewards that they most value," the report stated.
With many budgets locked down, MSPB suggested agency leaders be upfront with employees about how high performance will be rewarded.
"Candor is key," the report stated. "If agencies are honest with their employees about the actual or potential lack of money for rewards, the effects on motivation will be less severe than if agencies remain silent, making and then breaking an implied (or actual) promise that high performance would result in a financial reward,"
OPM survey: Tight budgets, pay freeze 'taking toll' on employee satisfaction

Simulation of the Fluid Dynamics in an Active Liquid Heat Sink for CPU Cooling System
S.-H. Wang, S. Melendez, M. GomezMicro and Precision Manufacturing Center, Kun-Shan University of Technology, Taiwan
This study numerically investigates the fluid dynamics in an Active-Liquid-Heat-Sink (ALHS) for a computer microprocessor cooling system. Principal concepts, basic design, and the integration of the ALHS technology into an internal CPU liquid cooling system are presented. Basic assumptions and numerical methods, especially for rotating machinery in fluid dynamics, are discussed in detail.
From the numerical simulation, the stirring effect by the impeller on the velocity field is quite significant. The maximum velocity, which occurs in the vicinity of the impeller, can be well over five times the average velocity. Since convective heat transfer is largely dependent on liquid velocity, much higher cooling efficiency is expected, especially in the neighborhood of the impeller that could be located on top of the CPU heat source.
The simulation also reveals that, with increase of impeller rotational speeds, the velocity as well as the flow rate increase almost linearly. This result is very useful for the design and optimization of the cooling system.

is there or will there be a Titleist app for android phones ?
Hi Lefty FPL,
I touched on this a bit in another thread but here is the update...
We currently do not have an app for Android devices. We are in the process of enhancing our mobile-friendly version of Team Titleist and hope to have that ready for release in the near future.
In terms of Android apps, we do not have a plan to release one in the near future. We sent a survey out a while back to Team Titleist to get a better sense of what devices everyone is using and based on the results and feedback, there wasn't a strong enough case for developing a separate app... yet.
I say "yet" because we are planning to send another survey out to see if this has shifted at all since we last checked in.
I know this is most likely frustrating to hear for Android device users but I assure you we are dedicated to providing the best possible experience for all of our Team Titleist members and we will continue to listen, improve and deliver.
As always, don't hesitate to share any feedback or input.
Thanks Mike for the quick reply, I just recently switched over and find the phone and android system much better IMHO.. but I'm sure there will be some response to that statement in the meantime I can access TT from the web portal . As always a faithful Titleist player .
FPL all the way !
I would like to see an android app as well.
Yours faithfully,
Alex R
Good app, but cant use it anymore because i swithched to android, PLEASE MAKE AN APP FOR ANDROID
Yes, there is a need for the Android App.
i didnt even know there was a app.... i like these discussion boards, they keep me informed
Last year
Have an Android App been made yet?
At of the end of 2013, 78% of the smartphones in the US were Android devices. It seems that the app for Android users would be coming out.
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the post. We still only have apps available for iOS devices and don't have any immediate plans to launch an Android version.
When surveying our membership and looking at mobile device share, we are still under-indexing on Android usage as compared to the universe of all smartphone users.
We are seeing a modest increase in Android usage among our audience but unfortunately it hasn't reached a point where we can dedicate resources to developing for that platform.
My apologies for any frustration or disappointment but as I mentioned above, it is something that we continue to explore and we'll keep everyone updated if we start working on an Android version.
Thanks for understanding.
From an iOS user, here is a little feedback. You mentioned that updates are coming, so maybe what I'm about to say will be a moot point.
It would be really nice if in the Titleist Social Stream section, when you click on a TT post that it doesn't throw you to Safari and would keep you in the app itself. That's really annoying, particularly if you check out multiple posts and have to switch back and forth.
Second to that, maybe it's my Safari settings, but if I read a post once in Safari, I can't respond to it. You can click on "Reply", but can't type anything in the window. I'm an FJC member as well and can respond to posts on my iPhone there, but not TT.
Overall, I really like the app, the look and feel are solid. I'd use it more if it kept you in the app instead of throwing you back and forth.
18 hours ago
I switched from iPhone to Droid and am not looking back. It would be great to see a titleist app for droid because even though the web portal works it just doesn't feel the same.

Mine too IP.
I also cannot bear the viciousness against Chan that we see all the time.
Anyway time will tell who will be the best one of them all this year. Certainly an interesting season to be sure for both Chan fans and Chan haterz.
Mine too IP.

I vote yes!
As for this year, I agree that it's a bit early to tell. My hopes continue to lie with Daisuke, but at this point in the year, a goodly number of the men could turn out to be splendid. I'm really pleased to think of Oda on the list of promising skaters going forward. One more person I'd love to see on the list, and that's Jeremy...I can dream, can't I? When he's on (in Grand Prix and/or Nationals), he's heartbreakingly superb--artistry and quad capabilities! But he never seems to pull it together at worlds. I've almost given up having wishes about the fate of American male skaters.
Hanyu was third in the FS. He was not even close to winning the event with that FS. And Hanyu was not only marked down considerably in TES, but PCS losing to Kozuka, Abbott (who had a meltdown himself) AND Machida, someone that has no political capital whatsoever. That program did not only evaporate the 10 point lead he had on Kozuka, he actually ended up losing to him by a considerable margin (7.70 points). He was not even close to winning with three falls.
Chan lost a lot of points on TES, but his PCS score remained relatively high to his TES (14.35 point gap). He would have actually won if he did not zayak the last combination, i.e. just did the 2A instead.
I have no skin in the game for either, but it makes sense to me why Hanyu's meltdown did not get the same outrage from fans.
ETA: Of course in the Hanyu scenario it did help that Kozuka had an amazing skate and Machida kept it pretty clean aside from the fall on the quad.

I'm wondering if you've actually calculated or checked their skating contents or scores before you made such assumption?
By not accurate but fast checking:
Japan Open 2011:
Patrick Chan 159.93
Artur Gachinski 152.71
Takahiko Kozuka 148.21
Jeffrey Buttle 138.33
Florent Amodio 138.25
Daisuke Takahashi 130.79
Japan Open 2012:
Daisuke Takahashi 172.06
Takahiko Kozuka 165.08
Jeffrey Buttle 160.86
Evgeni Plushenko 156.21
Michal Brezina 151.53
Patrick Chan 137.42
Patrick's last year's three fall but otherwise clean program will be at around fourth place in this year's Japan Open. So your assertion was not correct.
By more accurate checking:
Last year:
Chan BV=76.27, PCS=84.06
Gachinski BV=76.12, PCS=74.78
Kozuka BV=72.12, PCS=73.88
Buttle BV=52.50, PCS=79.14
Amodio BV=64, PCS=72.16
Takahashi BV=56.33, PCS=78.64
Despite Patrick's three falls, he had the highest BV among all 6 skaters. He executed his program very well besides the falls. I will stand by my opinion which I've said before. Patrick has won 2011 Japan Open with three falls, simply because others were worse than him at that competition. This year everyone was up graded the game. Patrick won't win with that many falls even if he just made three fall mistakes but otherwise clean.
Last edited by Bluebonnet; 10-24-2012 at 11:37 PM.
Patrick wasn't the best at 2011 Japan Open, that's the problem.
Patrick also had other issues other than just falls at 2011 Japan Open. So, once again, if Patrick Chan rotated all of his planned content and fell 3 times, he still would have beaten Takahashi at Japan Open this year. Which is not how it should be.
Which is why I noted that Kozuka's performance -- amazing so lucky to see it in person!!! -- was a factor.
But Hanyu also lost to Machida in both TES and PCS as well, whose program was more equal to Verner's at CoR. And I agree with that. Machida's version of the Firebird was pretty awesome.
I suppose yes if both Kozuka and Machida skated like Verner did Hanyu would have won because of his short program lead. But Hanyu skated a flawless SP; Patrick didn't.
As I said, I don't really care to win this argument, but simply just logically explain why I think there is less outrage. So I'll leave my comments on this at that.
ETA: I realize that we ought to add apples to apples with the SP. So let's take out the BV from the new 1.1 rule. So Hanyu's base value w/o the bonus is 41.50, higher than Patrick's (40.80). So with the +GOE his TES was 49.85 + 43.86 PCS = 93.71. Of course this whole exercise is pointless since you can't compare scores across competitions....

I don't think people blame Chan when he falls multiple times and still wins. I think people get frustrated with the system and when we express it the Chan uberfans act like we're too stupid to understand the scoring and be able to identify good skating. Chan is far superior IMO to Hanyu at this point so I also wouldn't score Hanyu as high as the judges did at SA.
Chan has the potential to break that record pretty easily, me thinks. Chan has always had COP friendly programs, and it wouldn't surprise me if that record is broken by him at some point in the season.
The audience at SA certainly did not object to Hanyu's score, though. That said, I think EVERYONE, including Orser and Hanyu (Orser himself told me he expected a score in the high 80s.) did not expect the judges to give that high of a score.
ETA From the GS article on the Men's SP:
The rules have changed since last season, so I was able to take advantage of the bonus for landing the jumps late in the program, he explained. I am really surprised by the score, but I dont want to think about it too much. Its only the first Grand Prix, and I dont want to get too excited and let my emotions get the best of me.
Hanyus program was chock full of choreographic nuances which he executed with flair and excitement. As a result, the leader was also rewarded with the highest program component scores of the night (51.71/43.36).
I was focused on my technical score, so I was very surprised, said Hanyu. I wasnt really focused on the artistic score, but now that you told me the performance score was high as well, I am very surprised. I have been doing very well in practice, so Im pleased.

As has been said a million times, a skater receives 6.3 points for falling on a rotated Quad Toe. That is wrong. The scoring system needs to be changed across the board for the -GOE penalty given to jumps.
The PCS were really too skewed as well, with Patrick receiving huge numbers for that kind uninspired performance. He wasn't 10 points better on PCS than Gachinski.
Playing devil's advocate, since it's being brought up -- do you have a problem with Hanyu received scores of 7.30 and 7.50 for falling on a Quad Toe and Salchow at the SA LP?
Actually my husband, being the non fan he is, found that to be the weirdest thing about the scoring system. He went on and on about that on the way home on Monday.

I knew I'd get support in this! And, speaking of top men and where they are now, wasn't it great to see Kurt competing again, and reviving Singin' in the Rain, no less?
This got me thinking that one of the reasons Kurt is so great and so liked by many fans (in addition to natural talent) is that he had the opportunity to really hone his abilities not just as a pro skater but also as a competitive pro skater. I hope events like the MWO and Scott Hamilton's planned competition will provide such opportunities for more skaters.
Well, that's why I added Richard Dornbush to the list of interesting stories to follow re the top men - his score from Finlandia was so impressive! I haven't seen the performance itself but I'm sure it must have been pretty good to be rewarded like that; maybe he's on his way to a real breakthrough season?As for this year, I agree that it's a bit early to tell. My hopes continue to lie with Daisuke, but at this point in the year, a goodly number of the men could turn out to be splendid. I'm really pleased to think of Oda on the list of promising skaters going forward. One more person I'd love to see on the list, and that's Jeremy...I can dream, can't I? When he's on (in Grand Prix and/or Nationals), he's heartbreakingly superb--artistry and quad capabilities! But he never seems to pull it together at worlds. I've almost given up having wishes about the fate of American male skaters.
I wish we could actually discuss the top men and their prospects without it descending each time to "who is more overscored", which has been done to death. But apparently I am in the minority.
p.s. if we don't punish other serious errors on a jump with a zero score, why should falls be different? They may need to receive a lower score than they do now, but certainly not nothing.
Buttercup, I'm in total support of talking about other broader stories beyond Chan vs. everyone else. Here's some of the narratives I'll be following..
** Tatsuki Machida is looking really strong this year. He was my new favorite coming out of Skate America. It's going to be really tough for him to get on the world team (wah!), but I think he can still establish himself this year. His SP is so awesome (and not surprising as Lambiel choreographed it) and while he doesn't have the speed and power of the Japanese men, I think he will be consistent enough where we might get to enjoy his skating some more this year!
** Dornbush, I agree, will be an interesting story this year. Here's his long from Finlandia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QbIO...eature=related
** I would also watch for Ross Miner. I feel like he gets underrated on this board. He's working on a quad, not consistent yet, but Ross has a tendency to peak later in the season...and I think he's hungry to be at Worlds.
** Fernandez, of course, is always interesting to watch and it will be interesting to see how his programs look after his breakout season. Also it will be interesting to see if he can sustain good skating all season long so he can get a Euros medal.
** Meshnov, old or not, looked quite nice at Skate America. His quads were actually quite nice! It would definitely be interesting if he can beat Gachniski (and Plushenko) this year.
** Oda, Oda, Oda! He looked soooo good at Nebelhorn. I missed that guy's skating and I'm glad he's back! I hope he can workout his math problems.

Dell thought that containers meant "cheap". It jumped onto the container bandwaggon, but never could control quality at the start or finish. Unlike Apple, Dell never made a serious attempt. That's what killed them.
The company culture at Dell never bothered much with quality, just cost. An accountant's attitude,
Now PC's and the like are a cheap consumer product, provided by firms with funny names such as Huwei and Samsung. But Huwei does not stint on quality.
