J.K. Rowling takes many inspirations from history in her 7 part Harry Potter series, and considering her degree as a Classist it is unsurprising that much of the history she draws from is Classical. On this web page I will explore her use of Classical -specifically Greek- Religion and Mythology, from the obvious borrowing of things such as names, to the more nuanced symbols and plot points that seem to point to a deeper understanding of ancient Greek practises and beliefs.
I also plan on examining the elements of cult and hero worship in the novels, as they are intrinsic elements in Greek religion. For example, the school houses are very much like different cults dedicated to different gods, the gods being the founnders and the way the are payed tribute to by the students is very similar to the ways in which the ancient Greeks used to worship heroes and gods.
Then I am going to examine the many ways in which the names of Rowlings characters are inspired by Greek Myth, such as Merope Gaunt, Voldemort's mother and Hermione.
I will also examine the way is which myths like The Tales of Beedle the Bard fulfill similar functions in the Harry Potters as Greek Myth would have filled in ancient Greek societies, and how some of these myths explain things that actually happen in real life, for example the Homeric Hymn to Demeter which is thought to explain some of the rituals of the mystery cult, and the Tale of Three Brothers, which provides much need background information on the Deathly Hallows.

Robyn Walter, chair of ECC's nursing and allied health division and administrative director of the nursing program, noted that almost 800 people have graduated from the college's nursing programs over the past three decades. "We know that many of our graduates have busy schedules so we hope they will be able to join us anytime between 5 and 8 p.m. on September 27 to reconnect with former classmates and instructors, tour our state-of-the art nursing facility in the Health and Science Building, and enjoy some refreshments."
Nancy Mitchell, a 1996 graduate of the program and current nursing faculty member, will give a brief presentation at 6 p.m. on connecting the past with the future of nursing.
"We have graduates working in nearby communities as well as across the country. They can be found in clinics, military service, hospitals, long-term care facilities, health departments, schools, home care and nursing informatics," Walter said. "For many of our graduates ECC provided the foundation for their career in the nursing field. Many have gone on to earn undergraduate and master's degrees in nursing and now work as nurse practitioners, administrators and nursing educators."
East Central College offers two programs leading to an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Nursing. The main campus in Union, as well as ECC's Rolla site, offers a complete pre-licensure program (generic) for those interested in becoming a registered nurse. A LPN to RN Bridge program is also available for LPNs interested in becoming registered nurses.
Upon completion of either program, graduates are eligible to apply to write the NCLEX-RN exam for licensure as a registered nurse. Both nursing education sites are fully approved by the Missouri State Board of Nursing. The nursing program has clinical labs which utilize technology and high-fidelity human patient simulators. The program utilizes some distance learning technology to promote access and flexibility.
The program has several articulation agreements that promote a seamless progression to the baccalaureate degree in nursing.
Though reservations are not required, Walter encourages the nursing graduates and those who have been involved with the program in the past to contact the college so planners will have an idea on the number of people attending.
Individuals may call 636-584-6616, email: firstname.lastname@example.com or respond to the invitation on the East Central College Alumni Association Facebook page. Walter also hopes that graduates who cannot attend will contact the department with information about their career path since graduation which can be shared with classmates at the September 27 celebration.

INDIVIDUAL "piggy banks" of immune cells might one day be used to boost our own immune systems or to fight HIV and cancer. The immune cells would be grown in piglets from each patient's own cells.
Our immune system's T-cells, which play a key role in fighting off diseases, are "primed" in childhood to fight particular pathogens. This plasticity diminishes after puberty, but Jeffrey Platt at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, has come up with a way to revive it. He reckons that if a human's immune cells are transferred into a young pig, they could become primed like a child's, then implanted back into the person they came from.
To see if growing a human immune system inside pigs is possible, Platt and his colleagues extracted stem cells from human umbilical cord blood and bone marrow, and injected them into developing pig fetuses. Lacking a mature ...

What does environmentalism have to do with allergies and asthma? Probably more than you realize.
Wikipedia tells us that environmentalism is "a concern for the preservation, restoration, or improvement of the natural environment, such as the conservation of natural resources, prevention of pollution, and certain land use actions."
Environmentalism has its roots in the writings of naturalists like Henry David Thoreau, who published Walden in 1854. The movement really picked up steam in the 1960s after the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, which detailed how insecticides and pesticides enter the environment and affect every organism along the food chain (including humans). Carlson's book focused on the pesticide DDT and eventually led to a ban on the dangerous chemical.
The environmentalism movement was not limited to the United States. In India in the 1970s, Gandhi supported the peaceful resistance of deforestation with the slogan "Ecology is Permanent Economy."
In 1979, former NASA scientist James Lovelock published Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth, which put forth the Gaia Hypothesis: that the entire planet Earth functions like a single living organism.
Today, thanks in part to the Internet, the environmentalism movement is stronger than ever. And if you have allergies or asthma, that's a very good thing, indeed.
achoo! ALLERGY specializes in products for the environmental control of allergens inside the home - allergy relief bedding, air purifiers, dehumidifiers, HEPA vacuum cleaners, and so on. These products help allergy sufferers eliminate the indoor allergens that make them sick. However, aside from masks, we cannot offer any products to help you deal with harmful outdoor air pollution - and it turns out that outdoor air pollution makes your allergies even worse.
MSNBC reports that emissions from
petroleum and chemical plants increase ozone (smog) levels and worsen allergies and asthma, especially in large cities. In fact, allergic disease is much more prevalent in developed countries like the U.S. than in third world countries, which suggests that modern, urban life promotes allergy. In a 2006 article, National Geographic writer Judith Neman points out, "There are remote areas of South America and Africa, for example, where allergies are virtually nonexistent."
Dr. David Peden, director of the University of North Carolina Center for Environmental Medicine, Asthma, and Lung Biology, says that several studies show that ozone can exacerbate one's allergies. Peden found that higher levels of ozone increase sensitivity to dust mites as well as the chronic inflammation associated with asthma. Other pollutants like tobacco smoke also increase sensitivity to allergens.
Other research shows that the particulate exhaust from diesel fuel increases a person's sensitivity to allergens like dust mites and pollen. So if you have allergies or asthma, it's a good idea to check the ozone level as well as the pollen count before planning outdoor activities. Try to avoid exposure to high ozone levels when possible. If you exercise outdoors, try to do it in the mornings and away from major freeways to avoid the heaviest air pollution.
To learn more about the effect of air pollution on your health, see Dr. W. Gerald Teague, M.D. on Air Pollution & Your Health.
After Al Gore lost the presidential election in 2000, he decided to invest his time, money, and energy into another kind of campaign that he felt was more important: to educate the people of the planet about global warming. Gore was one of the first politicians to understand the science of climate change and call for a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. In 2006, Gore starred in the Academy Award winning film about
global warming, An Inconvenient Truth, and in 2007, Gore helped to organize the Live Earth benefit concerts at eleven locations around the world.
For a presidential contender like Al Gore to drop out of politics and focus on raising awareness about this one issue, global warming must be a very serious matter.
In the past, there were political debates about whether or not global warming was really happening, but today the scientific consensus is that human activity is indeed causing global warming through elevated levels of greenhouse gases. The NOVA documentary Dimming the Sun even suggests that atmospheric pollution has been masking the full effect of
global warming - and that we may face a climate crisis much sooner than previously thought.
So what does global warming mean for the average allergy sufferer?
Higher temperatures and elevated levels of carbon dioxide increase the rate of photosynthesis for plants, which leads to more plants and more pollen. Plants are also flowering earlier each year, thus extending the allergy season. Christine Rogers, a research associate at Harvard University, says, "Plants are flowering significantly earlier over time and advancing the season by approximately 0.8 days per year."
According to the Agriculture Department, ragweed already produces nearly twice as much pollen as it did 100 years ago! Studies also predict that global warming will bring more intense rainstorms and more mold.
Anyone who has been living in Atlanta for the past couple of weeks knows that elevated temperatures also lead to more problems with air pollution.
Harvard research associate Loretta Mickley explains, "The air just cooks. The pollution accumulates, accumulates, accumulates, until a cold front
comes in and the winds sweep it away." Studies show that increased air pollution leads to an increase in hospital admissions not only for respiratory
problems, but also for cardiac problems.
According to current scientific model of global warming, the poles of the planet will warm up faster than the rest of Earth, which will lead to less cold fronts around the world.
"If this model is correct," continues Mickley, "global warming would cause an increase in difficult days for those affected by ozone pollution, such as people suffering with respiratory illnesses like asthma and those doing physical labor or exercising outdoors."
Genetic engineering involves introducing new DNA to an organism's genome. In the laboratory setting, genetic engineering has already led to advances in medicine and will inevitably lead to many more. However, many people are concerned about the genetically engineered organisms that are already
spreading throughout the environment - especially with the case of genetically modified (GM) foods.
Some scientists think that the rise in food allergies in recent years is due to the addition of GM food ingredients to the American diet. Thirty years ago, food allergies were rare, but now they affect more than 11 million Americans. Rates of peanut allergies in the U.S. doubled between 1997 and 2002.
GM foods entered the U.S. market in 1994 without any special labeling. Experts estimate that 60-70% of processed foods on shelves today contain GM
ingredients. The most common GM foods are soybeans, corn, and cotton. (Cottonseed oil is a common ingredient in many processed foods.)
In 1999, an annual study of food allergens in the U.K. found that soy allergies had increased 50% over the previous year. This trend coincided with
the first imports of GM soy from the U.S., which led scientists to strongly suspect a connection. A Monsanto company study on GM Bt corn (which the
company was forced to reveal through legal action) showed that rats who ate it experienced a significant increase in three types of immune system
blood cells, and a certain type of GM potato has been found to damage the immune systems of rats.
If you'd like to learn more about GM foods, watch the documentary The Future
of Food, which you can find at Google Video.
If you think about Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis, which proposes that the whole planet is like a living organism, then it makes sense that damage to the environment will impact its inhabitants. In Lovelock's latest book The Revenge of Gaia, he
argues that the lack of respect we humans have shown for the planet (mainly through the damage done to rainforests and the reduction in planetary
biodiversity) is testing Earth's capacity to deal with the effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As long as we continue to disrespect the environment, environmental problems will put our health at risk.
When it comes to the fate of our environment, we humans can act either a cancer or a cure. Be mindful of your actions and respect the environment, and it will respect you.
Here is a list of things you can do to help save the planet:

This product is a definite!! For me anyway, I have a lot of problems on my face. This helped me make my pores look smaller than normal. Which in comparison I thought I was going to have my face sanded like my dad did because of his scares & pores. Me not now!! Thanks to this product!!5
After reading other such glowing reviews (including Martha Stewart, apparently a daily user) I was really excited to use this product!
I don't know that I've had the miraculous transformation that others have described here, but it certainly was good for a Self-Care Saturday.
Skin feels nice and soft afterwards
General pampering feeling
Mask is difficult to unfold/apply correctly
Eye/nose/mouth holes are in a strange proportion
Mask felt slimy and did not stay in place well
Liquid afterwards was difficult to massage in
Bottom line: I'll use up the rest of the packets, but I don't know that it'll be a re-purchase.
I get together with running buddies and do out of town runs a few times a year. And I took these along on a recent run trip and shared during a fun night in with the girls. Perfect skin prep for the next mornings race, we all commented at breakfast how nice are faces felt and the silly pics/memories were a bonus!!4

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 12/27/12
It would be easy for Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap to tear up the blueprint amid a 16-game losing streak and come up with an entirely new plan. But Charlotte's first-year coach has no designs for any such radical paper shredding. Instead he's preaching patience. When Dunlap looks at his team's struggles since opening the season 7-5 he recalls the growing pains Kevin Durant, Michael Westbrook and the rest of the Oklahoma City Thunder endured a few years ago. Dunlap says ''Durant and Westbrook took a pounding in those first two years,'' but the Thunder stayed the course and last year won the Western Conference championship. So Dunlap will stick with playing youngsters like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Kemba Walker, Byron Mullens and Jeffery Taylor. They'll make mistakes. They'll learn on the job.

Every generation says this.
Right now, it's video games and gadgets that are cheating kids out of childhood. Before that, it was rock and roll music. Before that, it was pinball machines. Before that, it was kids who sat inside to read instead of playing outside. It's nothing new, and I'm sure we'll be complaining that our kids don't have childhood anymore.
Reading a book vs Playing video games, something tells me the book readers turned out smarter.

I've got the tables that Mike Wenk has loaned us, and I will also have
the supplies that aren't being used at WEF. From what I've heard from
Bill, we don't have a definite time we can start (maybe Mike Simmons
knows?) but after 12pm should be fine. I've got to be at work at 3:15,
so I'd like to be done with my part by 2pm (2:30 at the absolute latest)
I'm figuring if we can meet there somewhere between noon and 1pm that
would be best. I'd rather not just drop the tables and run.
I've also just noticed on the schedule PDF I'm one of only 2 people
scheduled for the 9am-12pm shift on Friday, and I still won't know until
that morning if I can definitely make it. If there's anyone else out
there that can jump in there, that'd be great. From experience last
year, there were times where we had 4 volunteers all busy talking to
people at the same time. We should try and at least have 2 people
staffing the booth as often as possible. I don't know about everyone
else, but I had quite a bit of fun last year.

We did spend a lot of time optimizing our ETL software and here is what we were able to achieve so far:
Loading data into Oracle database via direct path loading from a textfile
Version 184.108.40.206: 28000 rec/second
Version 126.96.36.199: 46000 rec/second

Version 18.104.22.168: 94000 rec/second
Version 18.104.22.168: 101000 rec/second
There a lot of ways to make our software better, we will continue working on improving performance and will publish our results here.
In latest version we have introduced support for Global Variables
They are stored in the registry, this allows to use different settings on different computers.
Please be very careful with this option it is very use to make mistake and run transformation agains wrong database
Today we have a reason to celebrate, our development team has managed to boost loading data from QVD files by 100 percent. Q-Eye version 3.1 can load 2.3 million records in just 16 seconds, that is 140k records per second
Advanced ETl Processor's "Is In list" validation function is used to check if value exists in the database or file.
But In some situations it is not very efficient.
In this case there is better alternative "Is value in database" and "If value in database" transformation functions
The way it works is very simple: during execution <value> is replaced with actual value If number of records returned is more than zero it returns success otherwise failure

Tutoring Schedules & Online Help
Tutor Qualifications
Each department or college sets the specific parameters for its tutors, but in general tutors must attain a grade of "B+" or better in the courses they tutor and they must have an overall GPA of 3.0
Recruitment Process
Most departments/colleges query the student database to create a list of potential tutors that meet the specific qualifications for their department/college. Letters of invitation are sent to students, who have been identified as potential tutors, which explain the benefits of becoming a tutor and the course options available to them.
Tutors in the UMD Tutoring Center earn academic credit for tutoring in lieu of financial compensation.
Courses Available to Tutors
New tutors take a tutor training course SSP 3003: Individualization of Instruction during their first semester of tutoring. The tutor training course is a 2 credit, A-F, upper division elective. It provides an introduction to contemporary learning theory and its application to one-on-one and small group learning situations. In addition to a 2 hour class period each week, tutors are scheduled to tutor 3 hours per week. New writing tutors are scheduled to tutor 2 hours per week, and they are required to attend special workshops designed for new writing tutors during the first 7 weeks of their first semester. During the last half of the semester new writing tutors tutor 3 hours per week.
After successfully completing tutor training, tutors can register for a tutor practicum, which does not include formal class instruction. The options are SSP 3004: Tutor Practicum which requires 3 hours of tutoring per week and which can be repeated for a maximum of 3 credits, Math 3120: Mathematics Tutorial Project, and PHYS 2199: Physics Tutoring each of which requires 4 hours of tutoring per week, and which can be repeated for a maximum of 4 credits.

Nyaribari Chache MP Robert Monda was yesterday accused of using CDF funds to sink boreholes which do not have water. Ben Mogaka who is vying for a parliamentary seat said it is unfortunate for Monda to deceive the people by sinking empty boreholes.
"The MP should tell you why he has used millions of CDF funds to sink boreholes which have no water," said Mogaka. "He should have used the money to connect piped water from Kegati."
Mogaka singled out Taracha, Nyanguru, Kirwa and Ritaro boreholes which were sank last year, but never produced water. He was speaking in his constituency.
Speaking in the constituency during a series of campaign rallies, Mogaka told the voters to vote for change saying bad leadership has left the constituency lag behind in development.

There was another vote, but it was the same result as the first. For the second time, the Greece Central School Board voted against letting a longtime soccer coach keep his job.
The board originally voted last month against a recommendation to keep Bill Hueber as the coach of the Greece Athena's boys' soccer team. The decision divided many people across the town. On Tuesday, the school held a revote. Two board members abstained from voting at the last meeting. They were brand new to the board. On Tuesday, they wanted to vote, but it didn't change the outcome for Hueber.
After 25 years of coaching boys' soccer in Greece, the school board voted to let Hueber go. Neither Hueber nor people who came to the meeting to support him left quietly.
Hueber said, "Is somebody going to let me know what I did wrong?"
People were angry, disappointed and bewildered.
Hueber said, "This board let me down."
Sean McCabe, Greece School Board President, said, "I know they did. I'm sorry on behalf of the district. I apologize."
Hueber said, "That's the way they want to play it. That's not right to the kids, that is not right to me. I gave 25 years of my life to this district. Every single evaluation I had was positive. The athletic director wanted me back. The superintendent wanted me back. A couple board members had agendas and for some reason, they were able to turn a couple other board members to vote their way and shame on them."
Hueber says one board member's son was on his team and she consistently complained about his playing time. Hueber says another board member was cut from the team as a student.
The team's captains came to the meeting in uniform to show support, but to no avail. Soccer camp is a week away.
Zach Mirquet, senior, said, "He was at all our summer games. He watched us play year round. He knew every one of us. I've had him my whole career at Athena. It's just not going to be right without him."
Adam Crandall was the board member who was cut from the soccer team when he was a student. He says he has no vendetta against Hueber.
Crandall said, "I was cut from the team over a decade ago. I have no personal vendetta against him. I voted nay based on input from the community."
The board president made it clear this was a board decision. He would not comment on the reason. McCabe issued a statement saying, "We sometimes disagree on the issues, but we remain united in our unwavering support of Greece students and athletes."
The district will begin interviewing coaching candidates this week.

asking for birth control
Question Posted Tuesday April 17 2007, 6:39 pm
okay first of all i want to go on birth control because my period is rediculous. i know im only 15 but it can last for up to 9 days and i get really heavy clots so i want birth control to lighten it up. i dont know how to ask my mom for it because she thinks im sexually active even though im a virgin. she doesn't believe me when i tell her im a virgin.
okay so i dont know how to ask her and i've never been to a gynocologist and i really dont look forward to going.
is there any sort of pelvic exam needed to get birth control?
also i heard a rumor that it can make your boobs bigger, is that true? because if it was that would be a nice added bonus

i had the same problem except the difference is that i am sexually active. i didnt want to tell my mom because then she would find out about the fact that im not a virgin so i did some research and went to this place called the tapestry. i had to make an appointment to see a counselor and i had a choice to get the pelvic exam or put it off(you have to get it at least 6 months after or the stop letting u get birth control) and i chose to put it off. right now im on the pill. sometimes i guess birth control could make your boobs bigger but watch out cause some kinds can also make you gain weight. theres also a couple kinds of pills that help reduce acne. anyways good luck and i hope i helped.

I had this same exact problem. I'm 15, and I also have horrible periods, and my mom thinks I'm sexually active, but the difference is, I am. lol. Anyways, my mom finally suggested birth control after a while because I was missing school. So maybe talk to her about it, and tell her that your periods are horrible, don't just come out and ask for birth control. Also, maybe talk to your nurse about it. She's the one that actually subscribed me birth control. Sometimes schools have a school based health center, if your school does, talk to your nurse about getting into it and later on asking about birth control. They can give it to you in such a way your parents won't find out about it. Also, you can visit a clinic of somesort. There is an exam you have to get, annoying. But it's not that bad. Also, one of the side effects is that it may increase your boob size, but it doesn't always.
Hope I helped and goodluck :]

answered Tuesday April 17 2007, 9:19 pm:
You and your mother can solve two birds with one stone on this one.
Yes, to be put on birth control the first time, it will require a gyno pelvic exam. Not just for the sake of one, but cecause the gynocologist will want to do a pap smear to rule out cervical cancer, stds, genital warts, etc. He will want to check for tumors on your ovaries that can cause irregular periods and cramping. And check for tubial pregnancy. There is a cause of clotting and long periods.
This gets you a clean bill of health and birth control pills regulated at the strength to get your menustral cycle under control AND tell your mom that YOU ARE STILL A VIRGIN! Hurray!
It's a win - win situation for you both.
Talk to her with this information, and she will more than likely agree with it knowing it will give her piece of mind knowing you are a virgin and she's had a gynocologist check you thoroughly and get you regulated once and for all.
All should be well and happy.
Good luck. (but you can't miss a pill then have sex-that equals instant pregnancy!)

Our bodies didn't evolve for lying on a sofa watching TV and eating chips and ice cream. They evolved for running around hunting game and gathering fruit and vegetables. So, the myth goes, we'd all be a lot healthier if we lived and ate more like our ancestors.
This "evolutionary discordance hypothesis" was first put forward in 1985 by medic S. Boyd Eaton and anthropologist Melvin Konner, both of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia (NEJM, vol 312, p 283). In it they claimed that while our genes haven't changed for at least 50,000 years, our diets and lifestyles have changed greatly since the advent of agriculture 10,000 years ago, and it has all happened too quickly for us to evolve to deal with it. This, they argued, is the reason why diabetes, heart disease and cancers are ...

JWOWW Loses Power and Heat After Another Storm Hits the East Coast
The Jersey Shore cast — and the entire east coast — can't catch a break this month, between Hurricane Sandy and yesterday's wintery nor'easter. So how is JWOWW being affected by the extreme weather conditions?
"Ahhhhhhh just lost power and heat again... seriously with this weather," JWOWW tweeted yesterday (November 7).
Aside from living in the dark right now, the Jersey Shore star dealt with damage at her house after the superstorm hit last week. She posted a photo of her destroyed statue and her fiancé Roger Mathews tweeted pics of the flooding and devastation in their Toms River, NJ neighborhood.
We hope things get back to normal soon for this reality star couple. Hang in there, RogWOWW!
Catch the next new episode of Jersey Shore on Thursday, November 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Detectives in Kitui are investigating the death of a supplies officer of a hotel in Nairobi hotel. The man booked a room at a hotel in Kitui town and left. He is said to have started vomiting moments after he returned to the room at around 2am.
Witnesses said he was with a woman who works at the Kenya Airways supply chain department. Kitui police chief Lillian Okembo said she could not disclose the name of the man before the next of kin were informed.
"We are expecting the wife today. If he identifies the man, then we will release his name," Okembo said. She said that matter was being handled by the CIDs. The Kitui CID boss Sosthenes Makuri said the woman who was with the man was briefly detained and later released.
"We have released the woman on police bond as the investigation gets under way," said Makuri. He said the man wastaken to Kitui District Hospital after his girlfriend sought assistance from the hotel management.
"It is unfortunate the once the man was taken to hospital he was pronounced dead on arrival. It is not clear what the cause of the death was. However we expect to know once the post-mortem is carried out on the body today," said the CID boss.

In 1998, Jeff Harrison took a long, hard look at the Chrysler Museum of Art's gallery of neoclassical sculpture and saw red – deep, sumptuous red. "At the time, the museum walls were painted light gray, light blue and light green. They were to serve as neutral foils for the art and the architecture of the building," says Harrison, the Chrysler's chief curator. "We wanted to refresh the sculpture gallery, and one remarkably easy – yet dramatic – way was to introduce a radically different wall color."
Red had historical precedent, given that many 18th century sculpture galleries were painted that color, says Harrison. But history was far from his only guide when he began choosing colors for the rest of the galleries in the museum, which features the highly respected collection of American and European art amassed by auto heir Walter P. Chrysler Jr.
"When we repainted our Italian Renaissance gallery, we did not use red, which is historically used in Renaissance galleries," says Harrison. "The palettes of the paintings in the room were heavily weighted toward red, and I wanted a color that would serve as a chromatic opposite, so I went for dark green. The Old Masters paintings, which can be pretty dark, regain their lightness against the dark wall."
Over the next seven years, Harrison and his team worked gallery by gallery, converting the neutral palette into one that featured rich blue, saturated rose, electric teal and deep brown – each color chosen for its "sympathetic and dramatic effect" with the art. Thanks in part to advertising executives Bob Morrison and Steve Tobin of Virginia Beach-based ad agency Cortani, Morrison & Tobin, these colors are now part of the Sherwin-Williams line of Chrysler Museum Colors. When Morrison's wife saw the museum's newly painted walls for the first time, she said she wanted the colors for her own home – and the ad men, who previously had done work for the museum, saw the possibility of a partnership between the Chrysler Museum and Sherwin-Williams.
"We matched all the colors from the museum walls and sent them to our Color Marketing and Design department in Cleveland," says Jim Faucette, Norfolk district manager for Sherwin-Williams.
"They created a color card that is actually a piece of art – it's beautiful."
A Fresh Approach
Response to the Chrysler Museum Colors, launched in April, has been tremendous, says Lisa Jenkins, Sherwin-Williams architectural account executive for the Southeastern division. "To step inside one of the Chrysler galleries is to see firsthand how the rules of using color have changed," she says. "You won't see grays, neutrals or museum white," the traditional backdrop choices when displaying art because they help the wall disappear and draw attention to the piece itself. "Here the walls are magnified with color, bringing new dimension to the art and a new interpretation of the artist's expression. It's a new way of thinking about the relationship between color and art."
So, how much difference does a teal wall make in the Chrysler's early 20th century American gallery, home to pieces by Franz Kline, Edward Hopper and the artists of the Ashcan School?
"After the gallery was renovated, a member of our staff who knew the collection as well as anyone walked into the gallery, looked at a painting that had always been there and said, 'When did we get this?'" says Harrison. "It's night and day, absolutely transforming. It was literally like she was seeing it for the first time."
Make It a Masterpiece
HUE. Contrasting colors will make paintings "pop" off the wall. A dark wall will make a painting appear lighter. To create an accent wall, as well as highlight a painting, choose a color from the painting for that wall, then paint the other walls a different color.
TEXTURE. "Flat paint is typically a better choice to highlight art," says Jim Faucette, Sherwin-Williams district manager in Norfolk, Va. "There's no sheen, so the light reflection will come from the art, not the wall." If rich, dark colors look too heavy in a flat finish – or if art is displayed in a high-traffic area – choose a satin finish.
LIGHT. Using COLOR To Go™ paint samples from Sherwin-Williams, paint large pieces of poster board with the wall colors you're considering and hold them against the paintings to determine how the colors work with the art amid the natural and artificial light in the room. Or order 8 1⁄2″ x 11″ paint chips, which ship in a day from Sherwin-Williams.

Ex-Im Charter Awaits President Obama's Signature
Established in 1934 by an executive order and then made an independent agency in the Executive Branch by Congress in 1945, the Export-Import Bank is the official export credit agency of the United States whose mission is to assist in financing the export of U.S. goods and services to international markets. In 2011 alone, Ex-Im financed approximately $32 billion in U.S. exports, sustaining 290,000 American jobs. Because of the fees and interest it charges borrowers, Ex-Im is a self-sustaining entity which, since 2005, has returned a profit to the U.S. Treasury.
On May 15, 2012, Congress passed the Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act of 2012 (H.R. 2072), which extends Ex-Im's authority for an additional three years and, by 2014, will raise the bank's credit exposure ceiling from $100 billion to $140 billion. President Obama is expected to sign the Act into law before May 31, 2012, when the bank's charter is scheduled to expire.

Nowadays, frugality isn't a life choice for most of us. It's a necessity born out of hard times and too little money. The first thing to go for most families is a recreational budget - money you used to have for movies, sports and hobbies is suddenly needed in more important areas like food and shelter. Although, you might be accustomed to thinking you have to spend money to spend time together and/or to be entertained, you'd be amazed by the bevy of free family activities available right in our own community.

Welsh Water chooses Black & Veatch to provide wastewater hydraulic modeling expertise
Welsh Water has appointed Black & Veatch to help manage the various functions of its wastewater collection and transfer system. As one of six framework partners, Black & Veatch will provide wastewater modeling expertise through a three-year framework.
The impact of population growth, urban creep and climate change are placing increasing pressures on sewer networks. Additionally, there is a need to manage waste and storm water drainage systems in a more sustainable way.
Black & Veatch will build hydraulic models of wastewater catchments, providing Welsh Water with a live view of current network performance. This data will feed into Sustainable Drainage Plans (SDPs) – a vital tool for deriving the utility company's investment plans for AMP5 and beyond.
Improved visibility will allow for cost-effective investment with design solutions that address limitations and optimize network management. The benefit this provides includes identifying where surface water runoff can be reduced or eliminated from entering the sewerage network, since this can overload the system and cause flooding.
The approach marks a step change in the way Welsh Water has previously managed its sewer network. It supports the company's priorities on surface water elimination and reduction (SWEAR). The framework also forms a critical component of Welsh Water's long-term strategy to reduce surface water runoff into sewers, and decrease flooding and pollution incidents.
Black & Veatch will utilize the expertise of its local dedicated wastewater modeling team based in Treforest, south Wales to support the framework. The appointment builds on Black & Veatch's long history of providing hydraulic modeling solutions that assist clients in the effective management of wastewater networks.

Imagine Me & You is a 2006 British-American comedy-romance film written and directed by Ol Parker. It centres on the relationship between Rachel (Piper Perabo) and Luce (Lena Headey), who meet on Rachel's wedding day.
The movie takes its title from the first line of the song "Happy Together". Writer/director Ol Parker reveals on the DVD audio commentary that the movie was originally titled Click, after the French term for love at first sight, but conflicts with the 2006 Adam Sandler film Click necessitated the name change.
The film opens on Rachel (Piper Perabo) and Hector's (Matthew Goode) wedding day in North London, England. Rachel's bossy and overbearing mother, Tess (Celia Imrie), is in charge, and dazed dad Ned (Anthony Head) and Rachel's much younger sister Henrietta are supportive. Prior to Rachel arriving and the ceremony beginning, Tess, flower shop owner Luce (Lena Headey) who was contracted by Tess as the wedding florist, and Henrietta are rushing along while chatting with Hector and Cooper "Coop" (Darren Boyd). Luce tells Henrietta something that makes Henrietta take an immediate liking to her, and she asks if Luce can sit by her during the wedding. As they await arrival of the bride, Henrietta confides to Luce that she is nicknamed "H" because, supposedly, her mother exclaimed "Jesus H. Christ!" upon discovering she was pregnant. Rachel arrives with her father and the ceremony begins, but as she is walking up the aisle with her father, her eyes meet Luce's for a fleeting moment...and a connection is made. Rachel looks away, then quickly back, but Luce is gone. The ceremony continues according to plan, and Rachel and Hector marry. At the reception afterwards, Luce introduces herself to Rachel. The two hit it off and begin speaking as if they have already known each other. Luce then impresses Rachel when she fishes Rachel's accidentally-dropped wedding ring out of the punchbowl.
Some time later, Rachel goes to Luce's shop and invites her to dinner with Hector and, unknown to Luce, Cooper, a perennial bachelor and self-professed Lothario. Rachel has planned to set up Luce with Coop, while Luce confides to Heck (only) that she's a lesbian. Heck takes this news in stride and is bemused as Coop is undeterred in his attempts to seduce Luce. During the meal, when Coop starts bragging, Luce espouses she believes in love-at-first sight, while Rachel says it takes time to find the right person.
The next day while grocery shopping Heck and Rachel run into Luce and a woman friend, Edie. Heck then tells Rachel that Luce is gay. Heck inquires as to the relationship of Luce and Edie, but they assure Rachel and him that nothing is going on. Edie says Luce 'loves another.'
While Heck works long hours at his increasingly unsatisfying office job, he encourages Rachel to be friends with Luce. The two spend an evening together, visiting a football match and an arcade, which becomes the setting for a Dance Dance Revolution sequence. At the end of the night, Luce walks Rachel back to her flat. Their goodbye grows awkward from tension, then Rachel leans forward to kiss Luce, but withdraws at the last moment and goes inside her home.
Over the next few days, Rachel continues to resist her growing attraction to Luce in an effort to remain loyal to Heck. For her part, Luce has no wish to break up a committed couple. Unable to deny what she is feeling, Rachel eventually confronts Luce directly at her flower shop. She tells Luce that a romance between them cannot happen, turns to leave, and returns seconds later to kiss Luce in the back of Luce's shop. Their foreplay gets interrupted by Heck, who has stopped by to pick up flowers for Rachel. He tells Luce that he has sensed the distance growing between him and Rachel and partially blames himself for not being there for her. Hearing this, Rachel runs off, later sorrowfully agreeing with Luce that they can't betray Heck. In the meantime, Heck reaches his breaking point at his job and finally quits. When he returns home drunk, Rachel rashly confesses all to him as he sleeps, but without saying who her love is. Heck, who was actually feigning sleep, later calls Coop for support. Coop angrily confronts Luce after figuring out it was her with whom Rachel fell in love. Luce decides that being near Rachel without being with her is too hard. She makes plans to go on an extended trip out of the country, leaving care of her shop to her mother.
While Rachel and Heck are celebrating her birthday at her parents', "H" tells them about Luce's trip. Heck notices Rachel's reaction to the news and figures out that it was Luce with whom Rachel fell in love. Heck does not want to be her second choice or to live a lie, but does want her to be happy, so he leaves. Rachel then confesses to her parents that she is in love with a woman and, with their help, she tracks down Luce, who has already taken a taxi to the airport. Rachel gets stuck in traffic and tries to call Luce, who ignores her. However, Rachel realizes Luce is in the same traffic jam and uses the lessons Luce taught her at the football match about how to yell loudly to call to her. The two women reunite and kiss each other in the middle of a crowded London street.
As the ending credits roll, we see the characters some time later. Heck is on a plane to an unknown destination, all set to write his travel book, when he discovers a young woman (Angel Coulby) will be sitting next to him for the long flight. There is an obvious and immediate attraction, and nervous flirtation, between them. The scenes continue with "H" and her young boyfriend playing at a playground, Coop holding a baby, and Luce and Rachel enjoying each other's company.

Coconut Milk Substitutes
Tuesday, 19 May 2009
This recipe and others can be found in the 12-part illustrated series "A World of Curries". You can read all about this unique Indian flavor here.
At a glance
East Indian
1 cup
1 cup milk (whole or low fat)
Combine the ingredients in a bowl and stir.
Additional Tips
One cup of coconut milk contains--depending on its thickness-- about forty-five to sixty grams of fat--quite a bit in today's world of low-fat diets. Fortunately, a commercial low-fat coconut milk is now available that reduces the fat level to about twelve and a half grams. To lower the level even further, I suggest using a coconut flavoring. Several companies manufacture coconut flavoring, or extract, which concentrates the flavor while removing nearly all of the fat. There are several brands of coconut extract on the market, both natural and imitation. They are available through Internet retailers and also through gourmet shops. By combining such extracts with whole milk, the amount of fat is decreased to eight grams; when combined with low-fat milk, that figure is further reduced to five grams. These substitutes may not be perfect, but they are a lot healthier. Since the consistency of coconut-flavored milk is thinner than that of canned coconut milk, cooks may need to add more of the substitute to a recipe and cook it a bit longer to achieve good results. Yogurt can also be combined with coconut extract; the consistency will be thicker, the taste will be different and interesting, but the fat count will be even lower, to about three grams.
