Hi, everyone. It's Amy Belle Isle, from stem parties, and I promise that no paper lanterns were harmed or even used in this guest blog post. (If you've seen any parties I've done that Jenn has posted, you know how hard that was for me.) In fact, this guest post was almost an entire post about ways to use those bad boys. Instead, I'm keeping it seasonal and featuring a few ways to work with the controversial Candy Vegetable of the Gods: Candy Corn.
Love it or hate it, there's no denying it looks festive! Here are just a few ideas:
Serving Trays
The two versions of serving trays pictured a use inexpensive acrylic box frames, candy corn, tape and ribbon. That's it!
The cupcake tray is simply one frame filled with candy and topped off with the party food of your choice. This could work for anything that is in an individual dish or wrapper. Shot glasses filled with chilled pumpkin soup, anyone?
The drink tray could be used to give some height and pizzazz to anything you're serving. I'd steer clear of anything too hot on the surface though. Simply take two acrylic box frames, fill one with candy, line the edges of the other one on top of it, put a few pieces of double-sided tape to secure the two together and then run ribbon of your choice along the tape to "hide" the seam. Voila!
You can hot glue the two frames together but I like to encourage tape so you can reuse them. Just think of all the ways and themes in which you can use this idea by changing the items you place inside!
Party Favors:
I love the look of acrylic obviously. It just makes everything look a little more modern. Even though I don't love candy corn in my mouth on its own, I do love it mixed with peanuts. Give me salty-sweet any day. Am I right, ladies? Fill the boxes with the mixture, tie with ribbon, add a tag and let your guests know that you're glad they took time out of the busy holiday season to join you.
Floral Accents
The simple arrangement I made here is made by placing a small cylinder vase inside a larger one and then adding candy corn in the gap between the two. Fill the smaller vase with water, pick the flowers of your choice and add a few twigs to give it an extra touch of autumn. I've adorned this one with some ribbon for that extra touch.
Candle Accents
Shy of buying these adorable candles from Plum Party, nothing could be easier than filling various sizes and shapes of candle holders and vases with some candy corn and placing a candle inside. Give it a glow!
{pictured at top} How cute are these Classic Candies party invitations (starring our treat of choice!), and Candy Corn Halloween Cards from tiny prints?!
Not enough ideas yet?
• Fill various sizes of cylinder or square vases with candy corn for a simple and chic display.
• Completely cover inexpensive frames of all shapes and sizes with glued on candy corn and make a seasonal focal wall with them.
• Use branches from your yard or the craft store and cover the branches with glued on candy corn. Place inside a vase to make an interesting centerpiece.
• Hang clusters of orange, white and yellow paper lanterns all around the party space. (I almost made it. So close.)
Hopefully these simple ideas will inspire you to look at candy corn, as well as other small seasonal items, in a new way. Just don't blame me if you make yourself sick dipping into your new "décor" as you go.
Thanks, Jenn, for asking me to guest post and for giving yourself a much-deserved chance to exhale and do the 153 other things you are doing right now. You inspire us all!

LOVE candy corn – how it looks, how it tastes (well, the first couple anyway. but that doesn't stop me from making myself sick eating them). So much so that I have to ban myself from any candy corn thoughts until at least October 1st. Then it's my birthday month and all bets are off! So evil of you to draw my attention to them while we're still in September.
Your ideas are fantastic. Off to my party closet to pull out all things acrylic!

Katie McQuaid's Scene in Manchester: Fratello's lends helping hand Christmas Day
One reason: "I couldn't get people to work," McDonough said.
They served 400 meals last year, their largest year. He expects to do the same this holiday season.
"For me it was more to show the kids how good their life is," he said. "And my brother feels the same way."
"It was going to be a one-time deal, and we just kept it going," he said.
If you would like to help serve the Christmas meal at Fratello's, I am afraid you are out of luck. The McDonoughs have more than enough people to help. I think that is a wonderful reflection of our community.
One of my favorite Central High School graduates is about to make her Broadway debut as a member of the ensemble in "Cabaret." Kaleigh Cronin, who grew up performing in many community theater productions around our city, and who even had a stint on the PBS show, "Zoom," has spent the last couple of years with the touring production of "Jersey Boys." According to Broadway.com, Cronin will be rubbing elbows with some pretty big-time celebrities in the Cabaret cast, including Alan Cumming and Michelle Williams. The production opens at Studio 54 on April 24. Bus trip, anyone?
SEE Science Center has created the perfect after-school program for parents who want to infuse their children with more STEM. STEM, my new favorite buzz word, stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
In the first week, participants built towers and learned about structures. In week two, they learned about weight, balance and pivot points through zip line building. This week they will focus on space while building a space craft (pretend, not real).
nh365.org Event of the Week
Nothing makes me want to shout hallelujah like a live performance of Handel's "Messiah." Experience it Friday at 7:30 p.m. at The Cathedral of St. Joseph on Lowell Street.

US 4467193 A Abstract A parabolic light emitter incorporates a solid state light emitter embedded in a transparent body formed with one planar surface and an opposing surface formed as a paraboloid, the outer surface of which is coated with a light reflecting material. In one embodiment, a reflective member is interposed between the light emitter and the planar surface.
Claims(7) 1. In a touch input device having a plurality of beams of light generated from individual light surfaces, and a plurality of photosensitive devices for responding to said beams, the combination comprising an elongated body of transparent material, a plurality of optoelectrical devices embedded in said material, said body having an external surface in the form of a plurality of paraboloids, said paraboloids being aligned with their axes of symmetry in parallel, each of said paraboloids being aligned with one of the optoelectrical devices, a reflective coating on the exterior of each of said parabolic surfaces, and said body having a plane surface located on the opposite side of said optoelectrical devices from at least one of said paraboloid surfaces.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each of said optoelectrical devices has at least one electrical lead passing through its reflective surface.
3. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each of said optoelectrical devices has two electrical leads connected with it, all of said leads passing out through a side of said body adjacent said plane surface.
4. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said plane surface is a single surface located on said opposite side of all of said optoelectrical devices.
5. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said beams are oriented in a plane, and said body is curved about an arc in the plane of said beams.
6. Apparatus according to claim 5, wherein a plurality of plane surfaces are provided, one for different ones of said optoelectrical devices along said arc.
7. Apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said plurality of plane surfaces are all normal to their respective beams.
Description 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to touch input devices of the type used to enter data into a data processing system by intersecting at least one of a plurality of light beams with a finger or stylus, and more particularly to light emitters used in connection with such apparatus. 2. The Prior Art A variety of types of touch input devices are known, and in one commerically available type of such units, a number of light beams is provided spaced slightly in front of a CRT so that at least one light beam is broken when a particular position on the face of the CRT is indicated as being touched with a finger or stylus. Each of the light beams begins with a light emitting source such as a LED, and a light responsive device such as a phototransistor is located at the other end of the beam. Interruption of the beam produces a signal at the output of the photoresponsive device associated with the interrupted beam, and this output can furnish time and position information with respect to the touch input. Because, under ideal conditions, each light beam is initiated from one source and is terminated in one receptor, it is normally necessary to provide means for collimating the light along the desired path, and to prevent it from spreading to other photosensitive devices, to prevent the occurrence of interruption signals from photosensitive devices not directly associated with an interrupted beam. Typically the means for doing this has comprised aligned aperatures, or focusing lenses, or both. Other techniques involved gating the photoresponsive device into operation one at a time, so that at any given time only one LED and one phototransistor is operative, making collimation unnecessary. Still other techniques involved the gating of the photoresponsive in groups, the groups being so arranged that all of the devices but one in a group are relatively remote from the beam of the operating LED. While the techniques of the prior art have met with considerable success, they introduce either complexity in terms of additional electronic circuitry, or relatively low efficiency in utilization of the light produced by the LEDs. For example, when a lens system is employed for collimating the light into a beam, only the light rays within the solid angle intersected by the operative portion of the lens is guided along the desired beam path. Light rays in other angles are scattered or absorbed, and do not form a useful contribution to the energy of the light beam. In addition, the lens reflects a portion of the incident light at each surface, and this reflected light is also lost. In addition, when collimating or lens systems are used, extreme care is necessary in orienting the position and attitude of the parts. When a lens system is used incorporating lenses physically separate from the light emitters, they must be positioned accurately so that the light emitter is at the focal point of the converging lens. Also the lens must be accurately located coaxially with the desired path of the light beam. Even when an LED structure is used which incorporates a transparent housing with a curved surface approximating a converging lens, the unit must be located accurately relative to the desired path of the light beam. It is the principal object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for producing a narrow beam of light without incorporating lenses or apertures. Another object of the present invention is to provide a light source for touch input devices which exhibits a greater efficiency in the utilization of light produced by the light emitter. Another object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement for producing a light beam of a much greater proportion of the total amount of light emitted by a light emitter, without increasing the sensitivity of positioning of the parts which go into the system. These and other objects of the present invention will become manifest by an examination of the accompanying drawings and the following description. Reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 illustrates a light emitter incorporating an illustrative embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is an illustration of a modified embodiment of the present invention; and FIGS. 3-7 are illustrations of further embodiments of the present invention. Referring now to FIG. 1, a cross sectional view of the first embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The arrangement comprises a body of clear plastic material 10, in which is embedded an LED 12. A pair of leads are connected from the LED 12 to a pair of terminals 14 and 16, by which an external source of power may be connected to the LED, to cause it to emit light. The plastic body 10 is formed at its rear surface 18 in the shape of a paraboloid, i.e., the surface of revolution generated by rotating a parabola about its axis of symmetry, and a coating 20 of light reflecting material such as aluminum is coated onto the exterior surface of the part 18. The forward part of the body 10 comprises a plane surface 22, and directly behind the plane surface 22 is a projecting flange 24, by which the unit may be mounted by brackets (not shown). When the LED 12 is energized, it generates light through a solid angle extending through approximately a hemisphere, and this light is directed backwardly toward the part 18. Substantially all of the light is reflected from the reflecting surface 20, and forms a parallel beam 26. The beam 26 is indicated in FIG. 1 by a plurality of dashed lines, indicating individual rays emitted from the LED 12. The LED 12 is located at the focal point of the parabolic surface 18, so that all of the rays in the beam 26 are parallel to each other, and normal to the front surface 22. The aluminized reflective coating 20 which is coated onto tthe rear surface of unit 10 reflects substantially all of the light generated by the LED 12 and impinging on the rear surface. Only a small fraction of the light is absorbed by the surface, and the combination of the good reflecting properties, and the fact that the reflecting parabolic surface extends over a considerable solid angle, contributes to the utilization of a large proportion of the light generated by the LED 12. Some of the light reflected from the surface 20 is shaded by the physical parts of the LED itself, but the amount of the beam 26 interrupted because of the shading is a small fraction of the total beam. The flange 24 provides a convenient mechanism for mounting the unit 10, and because the front face 22 is planar, the attitude of the unit 10 is readily controlled simply by positioning the face 22 against rigid stops, or against a wall having an aperture aligned with and passing beam 26. Because the front surface 22 is planar, and transverse to the direction of the beam 26, minor errors in positioning of the unit 10 in a direction transverse to the beam 26 does not introduce an angular error into the beam. This avoids any difficulty in attitude control which would accompany a system having a convex front face, so that lateral misadjustment relative to a member engaging the front face would result in an angular error of the beam. In the system of the present invention, the internal reflection from the surface 20 is highly efficient, and the angle of incidence of the beam 26 on the plane front surface 22 is transverse to this plane. At this attitude, internal reflection from the surface 22 is at a minimum, so that the maximum allowed amount of light is passed into the beam 26 outside of the unit 10. The aluminum coating 20 may be deposited on the exterior surface of the part 18 by any convenient means such as by sputtering, vapor deposition, or the like. In addition, although aluminum is a preferred material for the reflecting layer because it is easy to apply and relatively inexpensive, it is also possible to use other materials for the reflecting layer such as silver, gold, or other noble metals. In any case, the surface 20 remains parabolic, so that the rays are reflected into a coherent parallel beam 26. FIG. 2 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the present invention. There a transparent member 30 incorporates four LEDs 32 oriented at the focal point of four paraboloids 34. The LEDs 32 are located at the foci of the paraboloids, so that each produces a parallel beam in the direction normal to the front surface 36 of the member 30. Flanges 38 at the ends of the member 30 allow for support of the unit 30 in a bracket or like not shown. When mounted, the unit 30 is oriented in a direction so that the surface 36 is normal to the direction desired for the beams, and the four beams are parallel to each other and transverse to the plane 36. Each of the LEDs 32 has a pair of leads 33 extending out through the rear of the paraboloids 34, so they may be connected to a suitable energizing source. The outside surface 40 of the paraboloids is covered with a reflective material such as aluminum or the like, as described above. Although only four light emitters are shown in the apparatus of FIG. 2, it will be obvious that any number of them can be associated together in a single unit, by which a number of parallel light beams may be efficiently produced. If desired, the leads to the LEDs may extend through the body of the unit 32 and exit through one of the projections 38, as shown in FIG. 4. There, the leads 48 extend to the lower projection 38 and are connected with conductive contact members 50 on the exterior surface. The contact members 50 are adapted to engage corresponding contact members in a socket (not shown) so that electrical connections to the LEDs are automatically established upon insertion into the socket. The leads 48 are arranged to overlie each other in the beam direction so obstruction of the beam is minimized. The arrangement shown in FIG. 5 has opaque members 52 positioned directly in front of the LEDs 32, to intercept light which is not reflected from the parabolic reflecting surface. Preferably the members 52 have a concave spherical surface facing the LED so that the intercepted light is reflected back to the parabolic surface, and adds to the intensity of the beam. Additional opaque members 54, formed of material which absorbs rather than reflects light, are provided in the surface 36 to absorb stray light which is not intercepted by the members 52, as shown by the dashed lines in FIG. 5. Stray light having a greater divergence from the beam path than shown by the dashed lines is fully reflected by the surface 36, and emerges, if at all, in weakened and scattered condition, so that it represents a relatively low noise level when detected by various photo detectors. In the apparatus of the present invention, the LED is placed at or near the focal point of the parabolic surface. If the position of the LED is offset slightly from the exact focal point of the paraboloid, an angular error in the beam results, which is inversely proportional to the distance between the LED and the rear surface of the paraboloid. For manufacturing processes which allow the LED to be positioned accurately at the focal points, the LEDs may be located quite close to the rear surface of the paraboloids, with a result that a light beam may be produced which is very narrow across its width, or alternatively, a wider beam may be produced which incorporates an even greater proportion of the light generated by the LED. On the other hand, when a manufacturing process is used which does not admit of great accuracy in the placement of the LEDs, the sensitivity of placement may be lessened by incorporating a shallower parabola so that the LED is positioned a relatively greater distance away from the rear surface. This results in a beam which is either wider, or slightly dimmer owing to the utilization of a lower percentage of light generated by the LED, so that the maximum angular error of the beams produced can be kept under control. By manipulation of these variables, the present invention allows a means of providing a plurality of parallel beams in a single component, with beams which are substantially parallel to each other and do not exceed a given limited angular error. Thus it is possible to produce the apparatus of the present invention rapidly and economically, when close tolerances are not required for the positioning of the LED at the focal point of the parabaloid, and still maintain parallelism of the beams. Although the apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 2 has been described especially in connection with light emitters, it is apparent that the principals of the present invention can also be applied to light responsive devices such as photodiodes or the like. In such a case, the LEDs are replaced by photodiodes, and receive light from a beam which is intercepted and reflected from the parabolic reflecting surface. In this way, a relatively small light receptor is produced, which is responsive to substantially all of the light in a parallel beam such as the beam 26, without requiring any lens in front of the photoresponsive device. Such a unit is shown in FIG. 3, where a photodiode 40 is embedded in a transparent plastic housing 42. A reflective coating 44 covers the exterior of the parabolic surface, just as in FIG. 1. The electrical leads 46 are brought out through the rear of the unit, just as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. The advantages of ease of mounting and orientation, and the relative insensitivity to tolerances in the positioning of the photoresponsive device at the focal point of the paraboloid, are the same as those pointed out in connection with FIGS. 1 and 2. The method of making the apparatus of FIGS. 1-5 is substantially the same as that currently employed in connection with LEDs which have transparent housings with convex surfaces, and need not be described since they are familiar to those skilled in the art. The plastic material of which the housing is formed may be any transparent plastic material, but is preferably a thermoplastic material so that the photoemitter or photoresponsive devices may be easily molded in place, supported in position by the leads. The members 52 are preferably attached to the LEDs 32, by transparent material, before the LEDs are molded in place, so that their positions relative to their respective LEDs is fixed. FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the present invention having an opaque tube 60 formed of metal or the like, in which a transparent body 62 is supported. The body 62 is formed of transparent plastic or the like, and has a parabolic surface 64 at one end of the tube 60, coated with a reflective layer 66. The light emitting diode 68 is positioned at the focus of the parabolic surface, embedded within the body 62, and is connected to exterior terminals 70 by wires 72. The front surface of the body 62 is preferably planar, to reflect a minimum of light from the diode 68, and to provide minimum defraction of light from the diode. The other end of the tube 60 may be extended as long as desired beyond the front surface of the body 62, to shade the body 62 from ambient or stray radiation, which, in reflecting from the front surface of the body 62 may produce unwanted results. All of the embodiments of FIGS. 1-6 may be used with photosensitive devices, instead of light emitters, and in such event, the LED is replaced at the same position with a phototransistor, photodiode or the like. When the embodiment of FIG. 6 is used for a photosensitive device, the tube 60 tends to shield the photosensitive element from ambient or stray radiation, which may otherwise reach and activate the photosensitive element. When the tube 60 is formed of metal and connected to a reference potential or sink, it provides electrostatic shielding for the active element. When the parabolic devices described herein are used in groups, as in a touch input device where two groups form beams of radiation along orthogonal axes, the straight line arrangements shown in FIGS. 2, 4 and 5 are preferred when there are rectangular sides to the touch input area. When the operative area is circular, however, as when used with a conventional cathode ray tube, it is preferable to connect the individual units in such a way that the units form a circumferential line concentric with the CRT screen, or to mold the member 30 in the form of a circular arc. The individual parabolic unis are preferably oriented within the curved member so that the radiation beams are parallel and equally spaced apart, which is accomplished by spacing the units further apart at the extremities of the arc than at the center. FIG. 7 illustrates such a body, formed in an arc concentric with a CRT 80, and having nine active units, each with a parabolic reflective surface 82. Again, the units may be either photoemitters or photodetectors. The arrangement of FIG. 7 has an inner plane surface normal to the beam direction for each unit. Alternatively, the surface of the member 30 is formed of a plurality of planes each tangential to a circular arc concentric with the CRT. In this event, the orientation of the active units must be non-parallel, so that they cooperate with parallel beams, allowing for defraction at the inner surfaces. Although the foregoing description is in terms of devices used with touch input systems, it is apparent that they may be used in any situation in which a radiation beam is to be produced and monitored. It will be apparent that various modifications and additions may be made in the apparatus of the present invention without departing from the essential features of novelty thereof which are intended to be defined and secured in the appended claims.

TIM MOORE, 32, grew up in a California home with a shag rug and sand-colored sofas, but his soul screamed for color. ''I liked reds and oranges,'' he said. ''Only later did I understand why. You like certain things because your ancestors liked certain things, and it is inside you.''
Mr. Moore, who was born in Mexico and adopted by an American family at 3 months, does not fault his adoptive family. ''It would have been so helpful if my parents would have had even a painting of Mexican culture to connect to,'' he said. ''But they did the best they could and didn't know better.''
His older sister, Dellory Matthews, 45, has, however, put his insights into practice. When she adopted her daughters -- Emily, now 14, and Katy, 11 -- in Russia in 1999, and took them home to Salt Lake City, she embraced their heritage, buying Russian jewelry for them, along with table linens, vases and holiday decorations, and learning history and traditions. ''I knew how important it is to validate their culture in the home as well as ours,'' she said.
Instead of ignoring their children's cultural roots, many adoptive families today are recognizing that their children will have a dual identity. Parents are taking language lessons; families are joining culture camps; some parents are taking the child back where he or she was adopted. And adoptive families are decorating with objects from the child's birth country.
Maxine Rosenberg, a Manhattan psychotherapist who specializes in adoption and who wrote ''Growing Up Adopted'' (Simon & Schuster, 1989), said that adopting a child abroad raises many issues. ''If I don't embrace my child's culture,'' said Ms. Rosenberg, who has a 30-year-old daughter adopted from Korea, ''then I run the risk of denying it, which would cause resentment and identity issues. But if I go overboard, I'm forcing the difference.''
The actress Angelina Jolie said recently that she is building a house in Cambodia, to keep her adopted son, Maddox, in touch with his roots there. Few adoptive parents go that far, but the author Tama Janowitz has put a Chinese scholar's rock next to an Andy Warhol painting in her brownstone in Brooklyn for her 8-year-old daughter, Willow, adopted in China at 9 months. In other homes, parents are draping a curtain in a Ming dynasty pattern over a Disney-theme bassinet and mixing SpongeBob SquarePants figures with Russian or Asian action figures.
Joy Lieberthal, a social worker and the president of Also-Known-As, an Internet organization for adults who were born in foreign countries and adopted, said that a decade ago adoption experts began hearing from people in her organization that they had felt a sense of loss and isolation as children. ''We all had funny last names that didn't match our faces,'' said Ms. Lieberthal, who was born in Korea, adopted at 6 and raised in upstate New York.
At the same time, China and Russia began allowing foreigners to adopt children born there and, like many other countries, started requiring prospective parents to stay two to three weeks to get visas for their children. (Of the 21,616 international adoptions last year -- up from 8,102 in 1989 -- 6,859 were in China, 5,209 in Russia and the rest in such countries as Guatemala, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, India and Vietnam.)
While waiting for the visas, the parents had time to explore the countryside, learn about the culture and, of course, go shopping.
''You really relate to the child's culture and appreciate it,'' said Maureen Robertazzi, 50. She and her husband, Frank, 46, who live in East Hanover, N.J., adopted their 8-year-old daughter, Aubri, as an infant in Hangzhou, China.
''We heard the music, tasted the food, saw things we wouldn't see in Chinatown or in magazines that we now have in our home including typical floral paintings and wind chimes,'' Ms. Robertazzi said. She said that near the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou, popular among adoptive parents, there were stores filled with Chinese furniture and street artists who did paintings for new parents to take home along with their babies.
The cultural immersion can begin even before the trip. Dr. Andrea Colton, 51, a dermatologist in Boca Raton, Fla., read everything she could about China before adopting her daughter Emma, now 10. The trip solidified her appreciation of Chinese culture.
''I never liked the color red, dark woods, the old wooden beds or the blue and white pottery before,'' Dr. Colton said. ''Now I love it all. I have a big bowl of Chinese ceramic balls, silk paintings in Emma's room and blue and white pottery. I think part of me feels Chinese because of her.''
Thomas Heaton, 44, a single United Methodist pastor in Nashville, Ind., has been making rice and beans for Sunday supper since adopting his son Manuel, 9, in Guatemala five years ago. (Because Guatemala is one of the few countries that allow single men to adopt, he returned two years ago and adopted José, now 14.)
As Mr. Heaton's love for his sons grew, so did his appreciation for their culture -- and its textiles. A year ago, he started Mayan Traditions, a company that sells baby blankets, bibs and linens from Guatemala. ''If I hadn't visited the country, I wouldn't have known how looming is part of their culture,'' he said, noting that part of the profits are returned to the boys' orphanage.

Flock of Seagulls Promises New Wave Hooks and Big-Ass Hair at Grand Central on May 11
A Flock of Seagulls is remembered for two things.
Some people fondly recall the Liverpool quartet for its 1982 single -- and accompanying MTV mega-hit video -- "I Ran (So Far Away)," as well as a steady string of other hazy, early-'80s Duran Duran-isms.
But to the average North American pop music consumer, this iconic New Wave crew can be metonymically reduced to one cartoonish element: The completely ridiculous, big-ass hair.
What is it about the Seagulls coif that's obsessed pop-culture commentary to this day? Why has The Flock become the definitive reference point for any and all overblown pop hairstyles (i.e. "Dude looks like a member of A Flock of Seagulls")? Hadn't punk already desensitized the masses to ridiculous 'dos?
It isn't entirely fair, though, to conflate the mohawks and liberty spikes of the '77 generation with the teased poofs of Thatcher-era pop. Radio-ready New Wave, as epitomized by AFoS, was a high-fructose sweetening of punk's stomp, rhythm, and snarls.
So fittingly enough, the way that musicians idiosyncratically styled their hair became much less threatening and much more, uh, poofy.
A Flock of Seagulls with Erotic Exotic. Friday, May 11. Grand Central, 697 N. Miami Ave., Miami. The show starts at 10 p.m. and tickets cost $20 plus fees via fla.vor.us. Call 305-377-2277 or visit grandcentralmiami.com.

Re: Hearth insulation I think you are correct in your assumption that there would be little difference in refractory properties of the two materials as they both use portland cement. From a practical standpoint I have used Hebel (manufactured by CSR) as floor insulation in a few ovens, although short of demolishing them can't tell how the stuff is standing up. I also used Hebel (75mm thick reinforced with 5mm steel cast into the centre, they call this stuff "Power Panel") as both the supporting slab and insulating layer under the floor of my mobile oven. I did it this way in an effort to reduce weight.Because this is visible from underneath where it sits in a steel cradle supported by 4mm flat bar with spacings of 1 ft. It is evident that there are some large cracks.I do not know if the cracks were caused by the Hebel being weakened by the heat or whether it was going over a speed bump at speed after I forgot that I was towing an oven (oops, no shocks) End result though is that I don't believe the stuff is as strong or heat resistant as they claim. Vermicrete for me and it's cheaper. Last edited by david s; 03-21-2012 at 04:30 AM. |

Re: Hearth insulation Gudday I've used "hebel' as hearth insulation in my oven. Mainly it was cheap ( I as given 1/2 of it) and was a lot more avaliable than pearlite or FB board at the time. Its been about 18 months now with the hearth still being straight and true and yes I have put a straight edge across it. I have played with the hebel before and made ugly "stone" garden carvings carved wall panels and the like with a friend. You can saw it, rasp it, use power tools dremels etc but the one thing you have to be carefull with is if you take to it with a hammer and chisel. The wrong angle a bit to big a hit and you can crack it so easy. You have to watch it when transporting it and wrap it up carefully otherwise it will break in the boot of you car even on a small trip. No wonder it cracked on your trailer model Davids. I can't see however that FB board or pearlite would put up with oven bouncing on them as there pretty soft and you can dent them with a finger nail. I'm reluctant to pull up my hearth to check the condition of the Hebel so I can tell you its worked well for 18 months with no indication that is failling in any way. Ive also used it in an oven door which got cracked from dropping from the first couple of uses but it lasted till a month ago when I replaced it with a secound door also made of hebel.

Re: Hearth insulation Thanks Dave, that was a really encouraging answer. I´ve heard from a lot of people here in Germany that they´ve been using Hebel/Ytong for the insulation of the hearth, but I couldn´t get any information if it remained stable over a longer time. What I was concerned about was the combined thermic/mechanical stress. But in fact, the mechanical stress seems to be at least a dozen times smaller than Ytong/Hebel can take and I´ve found some measurements here on the forum that the temperature under the hearth is by far not as high as inside the oven, so I will give Ytong/Hebel a go.

Re: Hearth insulation Hi there, I found another variant of insulating material on the www, this is sold in Germany under the brand name "Poroton", I don´t know the brand name in the US, but this is often used here for insulating the hearth. As it is made of clay, just like ordinary bricks, it should be able to cope with the temperature. The insulating properties are pretty much the same as Hebel/Ytong (which are excellent) and it is cheap. So it is proven to work, it is cheap and it is sold in every DIY-store here. My stand is completed by now, tomorrow I will start building the hearth, I think will use Poroton.

About the Commissioner
Tom Burack has served as the Commissioner of the NH Department of Environmental Services since November 2006. He has focused the department on providing exceptional customer service in all of its programs while also addressing the new environmental challenges of a changing climate and transitioning to a clean energy economy, as well as ensuring long-term stewardship of the state's precious natural resources, especially its lands and waters.
Having served as DES Commissioner under two Governors, John Lynch and Maggie Hassan, Tom had previously been an attorney in private law practice, representing a wide range of businesses, institutions and individuals in environmental, health and safety, and energy matters. Now one of the most senior state environmental agency leaders in the country, Tom is serving as the first state co-chair of E-Enterprise for the Environment, a joint, collaborative effort of the states and the US Environmental Protection Agency to modernize the delivery of environmental protection in the United States. Tom entered this role after serving as President of the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS), a non-profit, non-partisan association of state and territorial agency leaders whose purpose is to improve the capability of state environmental agencies and their leaders to protect and improve human health and the environment.
With respect to energy and climate matters, since its formation in 2008, Tom has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, Inc. and Chair of its Audit Committee. Tom served as the Chair of the Governor's Climate Change Policy Task Force (appointed by Governor Lynch), which completed development of the New Hampshire Climate Action Plan in March 2009. Tom subsequently served as Chair of the New Hampshire Energy and Climate Collaborative and as a member of the State Energy Advisory Council, which in 2014 developed and released a ten-year energy strategy for the State of New Hampshire.
With respect to management of the state's natural resources, Tom served on the NH Water Sustainability Commission (appointed by Governor Lynch), and is currently a member of the steering committee for NH Lives on Water (the NH2O initiative), an effort to develop a broad stakeholder group to promote wise stewardship of the state's water resources.
Tom has been a leader in promoting greater efficiency and effectiveness of New Hampshire state government programs through the use of Lean and other continuous process improvement management strategies. He is currently serving as a member of the Commission on Innovation, Efficiency and Transparency in New Hampshire State Government (appointed by Governor Hassan). In addition, since its inception in 2008, Tom has served in the coordinating role for the Commissioners Group, an informal partnership among Commissioners of approximately two dozen state agencies dedicated to improving the operations of the executive branch of New Hampshire state government.
Prior to joining DES, Tom was an active participant in the NH Business & Industry Association's environmental programs and also served as chair and a member of the boards of directors of both the NH Land and Community Heritage Investment Program and the Audubon Society of New Hampshire.
Tom graduated from Dartmouth College and the University of Virginia School of Law, and is a Harry S. Truman Scholar. He resides in Hopkinton, NH with his wife and two school-aged children.

We went to kaohsuing in 2012 year end and found that many hotels and B&B were full. We picked fullon as it's still vacant. Without much expectation, the hotel delighted us very much. There are many local restaurants nearby, and one famous for beef noodle is just around the corner. We also found convenient stores and pharmacy shops near by. Convenient stores in Taiwan is big and well serviced, there is ATM inside that means we even don't need to go to bank. The hotel room basic but it is big and clean. The staff are polite and helpful, they allow us to park the rental bicycle in the luggage store room. I love the sauna room very much, what a relax after a whole day walk.

- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Booking.com, Travelocity, Cheap Tickets, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Despegar.com, Agoda, Odigeo and Fastbooking so you can book your Fullon Hotel Kaohsiung reservations with confidence.

The Evolution of Women's Rights in InheritanceKristine S. KnaplundPepperdine University School of Law Hastings Women's Law Journal, v. 19, p. 3, 2008 Pepperdine University Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2008/6 Abstract: This article presents the research results of an extensive examination of 1893 Los Angeles County probate records, which are the earliest such records still remaining in the Los Angeles County Archives. This research was undertaken to determine what effect the 1861 California Married Women's Property Act, together with subsequent changes in California probate law that were implemented throughout the latter half of the 19th century, had on testate and intestate succession of women's property. The article first provides historical background information about Los Angeles as it was 1893 (including population figures, the racial and gender makeup of the inhabitants, issues related to communication, migration, and technology, and a snapshot of California probate law at the time). It then gives a brief factual overview of each of the decedents whose records were studied, followed by an analysis of testate distribution patterns (with particular attention to differences between male and female decedents). Finally, it provides additional information about so-called problem wills - those which gave rise to will contests and other litigation.

Side/Base Edging and Flattening
I been reading a lot about tuning in general. There's a lot of opinions going around and that makes it confusing for someone new like me. Of course this is the internet so there is a lot of wrong info out there.
-I have read that the adjustable edgers are not worth it because they are less accurate than the set ones. -I have read that base flattening is not worth it since it doesn't beat the shop and therefore base edging doesn't matter that much either. Sorry if I have a lot of misinformation but please someone set me straight! |

Best article I've read on tuning:
Tuning - The Carver's Almanac Personally I'm suspicious of adjustable edgers but I suspect that a good quality one works fine. Most of the ones I see are cheap ones that come with "tuning kits", little bags of shiny trinkets you buy on EBay and then realize you should have bought the iron separately and then bought the proper tools from a shop one by one. Not sure what you mean by base flattening, I am a firm believer in base structuring where grooves are ground into the base to promote water channeling under the board. Especially critical in spring. |

I have read nothing but good things about the SKS Multi-edge tool though.
So, I purchased: http://www.racewax.com/p-375-base-si...es-w-file.aspx but... if I did want to spend the money, then us, I would get dedicated angle-specific side edge & base edge guides. |

One the issues I can foresee for dedicated edge angle tools, is if you have magnetraction (or a copy of, which my Burton has "Frost Bite" edge), where a long edge guide & file may not be ideal. |

Today is the first day of school for my kids:
Some of us are more excited about that than others of us:
As we approached the school for this morning's drop off, I saw a mom walking a small little girl down the sidewalk.
"Seems like it was just a little while ago I was taking you guys to kindergarten," I said. The girl's backpack looked huge. I remember how big my kids' backpacks used to look. I remember how hard it was to leave them at school that first year.
"I cried after I dropped you off."
"Are you serious?" one child asked, incredulous.
"Awww, Mommy cried," the other added, not sympathetically.
I just love my middle-schoolers.
The first day is always a little bittersweet for me, a marker of time passing. One less year left. Today is their last first day of middle school. I can hardly wrap my head around the fact that just two short years ago, our first day looked like this:
Bittersweet as it is, today I am grateful for so many things. I am grateful that my children have a safe school to attend, with teachers who care and work hard for them. I am grateful that my children are healthy and have every reason to expect that this year will be a good one. And I am grateful for the reality check of annual photos, a tradition that reminds me how fleeting this time is, how the children who stand in front of my front door today will only be these particular children for a very short time.
I'm grateful for the reminder to notice and savor who they are every day, because tomorrow they will have changed, just a little bit more, into the people they are becoming. And while I will love those new people just as much as I love the ones I'll go home to later today, I will always miss the children I used to have–my shy kindergarten girl who wore bows in her hair, my grinning, gap-toothed 3rd grade boy, my just-about-to-sprout 6th graders.
I'm sure that two years from now, when they are sophomores who know everything, I will be just as nostalgic for my my goofy, moody, often-sarcastic 8th graders.
Happy new year, everyone.

Extending and Relating Semantic Models of Compensating CSP

Business transactions involve multiple partners coordinating and interacting with each other. These transactions have hierarchies of activities which need to be orchestrated. Usual database approaches (e.g.,checkpoint, rollback) are not applicable to handle faults in a long running transaction due to interaction with multiple partners. The compensation mechanism handles faults that can arise in a long running transaction. Based on the framework of Hoare's CSP process algebra, Butler et al introduced Compensating CSP (cCSP), a language to model long-running transactions. The language introduces a method to declare a transaction as a process and it has constructs for orchestration of compensation. Butler et al also defines a trace semantics for cCSP. In this thesis, the semantic models of compensating CSP are extended by defining an operational semantics, describing how the state of a program changes during its execution. The semantics is encoded into Prolog to animate the specification. The semantic models are further extended to define the synchronisation of processes. The notion of partial behaviour is defined to model the behaviour of deadlock that arises during process synchronisation. A correspondence relationship is then defined between the semantic models and proved by using structural induction. Proving the correspondence means that any of the presentation can be accepted as a primary definition of the meaning of the language and each definition can be used correctly at different times, and for different purposes. The semantic models and their relationships are mechanised by using the theorem prover PVS. The semantic models are embedded in PVS by using Shallow embedding. The relationships between semantic models are proved by mutual structural induction. The mechanisation overcomes the problems in hand proofs and improves the scalability of the approach.

+ - 13-Year-Old Makes Fibonacci Solar Breakthrough->
Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: While most 13-year-olds spend their free time playing video games or cruising Facebook, one 7th grader was trekking through the woods uncovering a mystery of science. After studying how trees branch in a very specific way, Aidan Dwyer created a solar cell tree that produces 20-50% more power than a uniform array of photovoltaic panels. His impressive results show that using a specific formula for distributing solar cells can drastically improve energy generation. The study earned Aidan a provisional U.S patent – it's a rare find in the field of technology and a fantastic example of how biomimicry can drastically improve design.

Re: Keenum, is this another case of Chris Myers and KJax?
I think we can all agree on something: there should be an open QB competition in camp. People that are wanting to see Keenum want him to win that competition and earn the starting job. People who are argueing against him just doubt his abilities to beat out Fitzpatrick and maybe also Savage.
He won`t be cut before that competition, OB would be stupid to do so. There is a lot to like about Keenum and he was in a pretty bad position last season. But saying he didn`t get his chance is stupid. He´s got a bigger chance than probably 99% of all other UDFA. And he`s earned his chance to get another fair shot in training camp. Nothing more than that so far.

Once they battle drifts to get to fishing houses, anglers are often finding them locked in winter's stubborn grip.
Minnesota anglers scrambling to get their icehouses off lakes by Monday's midnight deadline faced an unusual problem this year: just getting out to them.
Many had to slog through deep snow and drifts just to get to their houses, only to find them frozen to the lake, encased by an unusually thick buildup of ice and snow from this year's harsh winter.
In some cases the drifts around the houses are 7 feet high, said Capt. Greg Salo, who works in enforcement for the Department of Natural Resources.
"The wind is probably the biggest problem," he said.
The DNR allows some flexibility for owners who truly cannot get their houses out but says the deadlines for most are firm. It has even recommended that owners bring friends and equipment out to help. In some areas, icehouse removal businesses are sprouting up.
Dave Kuntz, an ice fisherman on Lake Waconia who removed his icehouse on Monday, agreed that recent snow dumps made it difficult to get to the houses.
While this year has been unseasonably cold, he said the deadlines could help to ensure the safety of icehouse owners while on the lake.
"The weather can turn so fast," said Kuntz, who was able to remove his house without difficulty. "It can make a big mess. Fish houses could start falling in the lake."
The deadline set by the DNR for icehouses to be off the lakes is a minute to midnight Monday for anglers on the state's southern inland lakes; for northern anglers the last call is March 17.
Even as the deadlines remain firm, the DNR will work with icehouse owners in light of the unseasonable cold, according to Maj. Phil Meier with the DNR's Division of Enforcement. This year, he said, houses off the beaten path will receive special consideration.
But owners were cautioned to take the deadlines seriously and not use the weather as an excuse.
"This isn't a free pass to wait and see what happens," said Salo. Icehouse owners should keep in contact with their local conservation officer if they are unable to remove their houses in time but are making honest efforts to get them out, he advised.
After the deadline, owners of houses left on the lake could be fined $125. If the case is prosecuted, they could be on the hook for court costs. Meier said the DNR has been encouraging owners to remove the structures weeks in advance of the deadline and said that bringing along a few friends to help is a good idea.
The situation has also opened up opportunities to make a little money as people are offering their icehouse removal services for a fee.
"We're seeing signs up quite frequently all over the area," Meier said.
The DNR has been keeping tabs since December on which houses may be at issue under the law. Icehouses with trash piled up or without the required licensing markings are big indicators, Salo said.
The DNR encourages icehouse owners having trouble getting off the lake to contact their local conservation officers. To find yours, visit www.dnr.state.mn.us/officerpatrolareas/index.html.

The end of "Last Days Here" was in early 2009, 3 years ago. Since then, Pentagram has toured the US twice and Europe once and Bobby has showed up and performed fine at every show.

I think the biggest point is here, why would you take cheap shots out of nowhere at the fans psyched to see bands they love, and at least one of which, ag front, that is from nyc ; put ny hardcore in the map, and has an amazing timeless album...I mean why should u even comment on music site if ur just going to try to insult people involved. You obvioudly dont really hsve any deep love of music, you are mire into wstching and criticizing the 'scene' involved. So yeah, scenester and poseur fit you as names unless you retract your statements minimizing one of the most powerful, radical, and sustaining forms of music, all of you who did. I bet you would now deny liking any band, even ones you like; just so you could keep denying youre a hipster or poseur. You are just like a Maury Povich guest, an embarrasment and pity to behold. Long live hardcore, metal. , and all fans of it and anything true.
