Shanghai: 2 year old brussels griffon/shih tzu mix 10 lbs good with most dogs/adults - no children under 14 years. This spunky little boy has a huge personality in a little 10lb body! Shanghai is confident and feisty; he knows he's adorable and doesn't hesitate to use his cherubic appearance to get what he wants. Like many terriers, he has boundless enthusiasm and endless charm but he can be outspoken and stubborn as well. He's a busy chap who likes to plenty of stimulation and activity; but he also enjoys some snuggle time and cuddling with his special person. We feel Shanghai would do best in a home with children 14 years ... (Read More)of age or older. He's quite the character and his antics are the source of constant amusement to us. He gets along well with most all dogs and would probably be happiest in a home with a doggie playmate. Shanghai's adoption fee is $225; he's neutered, microchipped and current on vaccinations. (Less)

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Brussels Griffon in Indiana
Brussels Griffon Dogs can make good pets in Indiana if they match your IifestyIe. The Brussels Griffon is a pouty toy dog that resembles a miniature Boxer. The Griffon is similar in temperament to a terrier. Brussels Griffons are peppy and can be somewhat high strung but are very cheerful and companionable. Griffons are demanding, need to be the center of attention, and can be quite spoiled. Griffons do fine with older children. A Brussels Griffon can do fine living in an apartment with daily walks and exercise.

Geographic Range
Spermophilus tridecemlineatus is found in central North America. Originally confined to the prairie, it has extended its range northward and eastward over the past two centuries as land has been cleared. Currently S. tridecemlineatus can be found as far east as Ohio and as far west as Montana and Arizona. It reaches its northern limit in central Alberta and Saskatchewan and is found as far south as the Texas coast.
Spermophilus tridecemlineatus prefers open areas with short grass and well-drained sandy or loamy soils for burrows. It avoids wooded areas. Mowed lawns, golf courses, cemetaries, well-grazed pastures, parks and roadsides are common habitats for it now that it is no longer limited to prairie regions. (Jones 1988, Kurta 1995)
- Habitat Regions
- temperate
Physical Description
total body length: 225 to 300 mm tail length: 75 to 109 mm
Spermophilus tridecemlineatus is a small slender ground squirrel with alternate longitudinal stripes of dark brown and tan, extending from the nape to the base of the tail. The dark brown stripes are broader than the tan lines and have tan rectangular spots along the midline. The "thirteen lines" consist of either (1) seven broad dark brown stripes alternating with six thin tan bands or (2) seven narrow yellow stripes alternating with six broader dark brown stripes. The ears are short, and the tail is thin and sparingly bushy. This squirrel often sits erect with head pointed up.
The skull of Spermophilus tridecemlineatus is sciurognathous and sciuromorphous, meaning that the lower jaw is v-shaped and that there is a large zygomatic plate anterior to the orbit where the lateral masseter arises. The infraorbital foramen is small and shifted forward. A postorbital process is present. The dental formula is 1/1, 0/0, 2/1, 3/3. Like all rodents, S. tridecemlineatus lacks canines, has evergrowing incisors with enamel only on the front and sides, and has a large diastema separating incisors and cheek teeth.
(Kurta 1995, Jones 1988, Palmer 1995, Lawlor 1979)

- Average lifespan
Thirteen-lined ground squirrels are diurnal and most active at midday and on warm sunny days. They dig shallow blind-end emergency burrows as well as complex deeper underground burrows used for nesting and hibernation. These squirrels are not colonial but may concentrate in one area with desirable substrate. Home ranges are 4.7 ha. for males and 1.4 ha. for females. Density ranges from 1 to 20 animals per acre depending on the season. Home burrows are defended. In the fall, thirteen-lined ground squirrels rapidly gain weight (up to 4 gm fat per day) to prepare for winter dormancy. They hibernate in underground burrows from August through March. They are true hibernators, allowing their body temperature to drop to just above freezing and their heart rate to drop to as low as 20 beats per minute from their usual 200. During hibernation, S. tridecemlineatus can lose up to 1/3 of its body weight. Food caches are consumed during hibernation arousals, especially just prior to emergence.
Thirteen-lined ground squirrels are important prey species for carnivores, raptors and snakes. They also play host to many ectoparasites including fleas, lice, mites, ticks and other endoparasites. They molt twice yearly.
(Jones 1988, Kurta 1995, Palmer 1995, Livoreil 1996)
In the spring, males arise from hibernation before the females and soon begin their search for available females to breed. A male copulates several times with a female before leaving to search for other females. Seventy five percent of each litter is sired by the first male to breed the female. There is no post-copulatory guarding behavior. Males breed with one female until they have successfully bred for over 9 minutes. A delay between breeding by other males and a long copulatory duration are correlated with breeding success for specific males.
(Schwagmeyer 1994)
Communication and Perception
Thirteen-lined ground squirrels have excellent senses of vision, touch, and smell. They use alarm calls and other sounds, as well as using special scented secretions, to communicate with other squirrels. They rub glands around their mouth on objects to leave scent marks. They also greet one another by touching noses and lips.
Food Habits
Spermophilus tridecemlineatus is omnivorous. Spermophilus means "seed lover," and this squirrel eats the seeds of weed plants as well as available crop species like corn and wheat. It will eat the leaves of grass and clover and hoardes plant material underground, transporting it in cheek pouches. Animal matter consumed includes insects, occasional small vertebrates, bird eggs and carrion. (Kurta 1995, Palmer 1995)
- Primary Diet

- eggs
- carrion
- insects
- terrestrial non-insect arthropods
- Plant Foods
- leaves
- roots and tubers
- seeds, grains, and nuts
- fruit
- Foraging Behavior
- stores or caches food
Thirteen-lined ground squirrels give alarm calls when they sense the presence of a predator, then all surrounding squirrels escape into their burrows. Main predators include snakes and hawks, such as red-tailed hawks and Cooper's hawks.
- Known Predators
- birds of prey (Falconiformes)
- snakes (Serpentes)
Ecosystem Roles
Thirteen-lined ground squirrels impact plant communities by eating seeds and foliage. They act as important prey bases for small predators, such as weasels, raptors, and snakes, and help to recycle soil nutrients through their burrowing activities. They also play host to many ectoparasites including fleas, lice, mites, ticks and to endoparasites.
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Consumes agricultural crops like corn, wheat, oats and sunflowers although the damage is limited to the harvest season, not during winter storage.
- Negative Impacts
- crop pest

The First Double Eagle Melt Rarity
In the case of the 1920-S twenty, 62 auctions have taken place over 18 years, an average of less than four examples per year in all grades. Like certified resubmissions, the number of appearances of rare coins will always exceed the actual number of different specimens. The average grade of all those auction appearances is 60.3.
Certified population is a tool that is available for the major grading services, including NGC and PCGS. This coin almost perfectly meets the average grade of all 81 examples that NGC has certified. In fact, the calculated average grade of those 81 submissions is 61.05. Actual grades at NGC range from a low of AU53 to a high of MS65. The average grade at PCGS is similar, calculated at 59.04, and combining both services, that average is almost exactly 60. PCGS-certified examples of the 1920-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle range from VF35 to MS66. The wide grade makes the issue available to a larger number of collectors than some of the later rarities. Coins struck from 1929 to 1932 are normally found in higher Mint State grades.
This example exhibits satiny yellow luster with delicate olive and rose highlights. Splashes of steel-blue adhere to the highest design points, suggesting its originality. Both sides have the usual quota of surface marks found on any Saint-Gaudens double eagle at the MS61 grade level. Census: 12 in 61, 45 finer (1/11).(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 26FZ, PCGS# 9171)

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 10/21/12
Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly looks at which corner outfielders the Phillies are likely to keep or are on their way out. Among the ones who could be free agents are Juan Pierre, Laynce Nix, and Ty Wigginton. I have a mild interest in Wigginton, but Pierre may be a better fit for the team and he shouldn't be too costly. Here is what Salisbury writes: Juan Pierre For a guy who lingered on the free-agent market into January and came to camp on a minor-league deal, Pierre made a huge contribution in 2012 and was a bargain at $800,000. He made 98 starts in left field, ranked second on the team in batting average (.307), tied for second in hits (121) and third in on-base percentage at .351. He also led the team with 37 steals and was caught just seven times. In addition to his contributions on the field, Pierre was one of the most prepared and professional players to come through the Phillies' clubhouse in years. He never took a play off. If Pierre wants to stay in baseball after his play...

After a Shower
Oil on canvas
25 x 30 inches (63.5 x 76.2 cm)
Signed lower left: Robert Wood
Artist's stamp and titled verso: "AFTER A SHOWER"
The son of a painter, Wood crisscrossed the United States after arriving from his native England in 1911. He first came to Texas in 1924, painting in store windows in Dallas, Houston, and Corpus Christi before settling in San Antonio. Wood studied with Jose Arpa and exhibited in the 1928 San Antonio Competitive. With loose brushwork, powerful color, and spontaneous compositions, Wood's paintings from around 1930 are his most Impressionist. In 1931, Wood moved to an area near Helotes Creek, northwest of San Antonio, where he settled into fairly formulaic Hill Country landscapes by 1940. However, After a Shower, retains some of the spontaneity and freshness of his earlier, more Impressionistic paintings.
Condition Report*:Canvas is slightly loose on stretcher; no evidence of inpaint when examined under UV. Framed Dimensions 31.5 X 36.5 Inches
Wood, Robert William:Robert William Wood is one of the most popular and reproduced American artists of the Twentieth Century. Born in England, Wood immigrated to the United States at the age of 19 where he soon became an itinerant painter, making his living doing casual work and selling or bartering his small paintings as he traveled throughout rural America. He settled for a time in San Antonio, Texas, concentrating on the Texas landscape as his primary subject matter, creating scenes that featured the beauty of the hill country around San Antonio and Austin. Wood soon developed a national reputation as a painter, especially after moving to Laguna Beach, California. In yet another move, to Woodstock, New York, Wood produced landscapes inspired by the passage of the seasons on the forests near his studio. A publishing agreement led to inexpensive reproductions of his work being made available to the public. October Morn and his other popular works quickly made him one of the most well-known painters in the U.S. His original paintings are still highly sought after by collectors, especially in Texas and California.

The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/460,795, filed Jun. 13, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,222,736, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to indicating devices and methods, and in particular, to placing reminders on medicine containers.
People have difficulty remembering when to administer or self-administer a medicine. People often forget whether they have taken the day's daily dosage, especially if the dose is not taken at a regular time of day. Similar difficulties arise when doses must be taken several times a day on a predetermined schedule. These difficulties are greatly increased when several different medications must be taken on different schedules. Then one must remember not only the scheduled times, but which one of several medications must be taken at each time.
A very common approach to solving this scheduling problem is incorporating a mechanical scheduling device into a medicine container. One of the drawbacks of the known devices is their tendency to make the medicine container top-heavy and thus unstable. Another disadvantage is the tendency to inadvertently change the setting of the indicating device when handling or opening the medicine container.
Moreover, these known devices have been incorporated in or near a child-proof cap where relatively high forces must be applied by hand. Accordingly, these scheduling devices can be damaged by the high forces associated with opening a child-proof cap. These devices also tend to interfere with or obstruct the normal operation of the child-proof cap. This interference is especially problematical for persons with poor hand strength or coordination and therefore may have difficulty opening a medicine container, with or without a child-proof cap, if the scheduling device provides any kind of obstruction or interference.
In FIGS. 1-2 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,920,912 a disk with a window is connected by its axle to a cap. Rotating the disk exposes markings on the cap to indicate the time of the last or next dose. In the embodiment of
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,960,713 a cover can rotate about a stub to expose markings on an underlying cap. In
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,082,129 an outer housing connects through a ratchet mechanism to a threaded cap. The housing can be rotated clockwise to tighten the cap. Overtightening will cause the ratchet mechanism to slip so that a window will move relative to the markings on the cap and thereby display updated reminders regarding the medication in the container.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,662,224 a ring with time markings can be rotated about the neck of a medicine container to align with a pointer to indicate the last time a medicine was taken. See also U.S. Pat. No. 4,802,438.
In U.S. Pat. No. 6,089,180 a wire loop acting as a pointer is wrapped around the neck of a medicine container to point to time markings on a band encircling the container. Also a cap is marked with days of the week and is covered by a shell having an opening. Rotation of the shell can expose the week markings.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,482,163 a collar with time markings fits around a medicine container marked with an arrow. The collar can be rotated to indicate when a dose was last taken.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,347,804 a disk is rotatably mounted in a recess atop a cap for a medicine container. The disk has two pointers at a fixed spacing for indicating the time of the last and the next dose.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,345,541 a ring is rotatably mounted on a central hub atop a cap for a medicine container. Again, the ring has two pointers at a fixed spacing for indicating the time of the last and the next dose.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,501,370 an indicator disk rotatably mounted in a central hole in a cap for a medicine bottle can point to markings on the cap to indicate the time for the next dose.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,358,117 a simple arrow rotatably mounted on a cap for a medicine container can be rotated to point to markings on the cap to indicate the time for the next dose.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,641,759 the inner threaded cap has a hub molded with a pointer. An outer shell is mounted on the hub to form a child-proof cap. If no pressure is applied the outer shell can be rotated counterclockwise to align arrow with a marking on the shell indicating the time to take the next dose.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,446,179 an upper pointing disk has a barrel that fits in a cavity in a threaded cap. The pointing disk can be rotated to point to markings on the underlying threaded cap to indicate either the time of the last or next dose. The pointing disk may either have an opening to expose one of the markings on the underlying cap or be transparent so that an arrow on the disk can be aligned with the visible markings on the underlying cap.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,432,300 a cap has an opening that can align with one of the four openings shown in the housing of FIG. 7 to allow dispensing of a pill. In some designs a ratchet allows the cap to be rotated in only one direction, so that the user first sees one of the messages marked on the housing before clearing a dispensing opening. One embodiment has a dispensing opening facing from the top and another embodiment has a dispensing opening facing to the side.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,011,032 a slide can be moved circumferentially to indicate the number of pills per dose.
In U.S. Pat. No. 6,003,467 a ring or disk has seven raised elements that can fit into seven openings in a cap for a medicine bottle container. When the cap is removed the underlying raised elements can be rotated to place one of the raised elements through a specific hole in the cap that is marked with an arrow to indicate the next day when a dose is due.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,261,548 a cover has a window that exposes one of the markings on indicator wheel. The device has a ratchet mechanism that allows the indicator wheel to advance relative to window every time the device is removed from a medicine container. See also U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,299,701; 4,011,829; 4,749,093; 4,782,966; 4,489,834; 5,678,712.
Accordingly, there is a need for an improved technique for reminding people of when to take medication from one or more medicine containers.
In accordance with the illustrative embodiments demonstrating features and advantages of the present invention, there is provided a reminder device adapted for attachment to a medicine container. The reminder device has a base and an indicator rotatably mounted on the base in order to rotate and indicate a scheduled event. The base has an opening for frictionally engaging the bottom of the container. The base along some transverse plane within the opening is shaped to engage the container along most of its periphery.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention a reminder device can hold medicine. The reminder device has a container for holding medicine, and a cap for closing the container. Also included is a base adapted to attach to the bottom of the container. The reminder device also has an indicator rotatably mounted on the base in order to rotate and indicate a scheduled event.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the present invention a reminder device is adapted for attachment to a medicine container. The reminder device has a base with an inner side for adhesively engaging the bottom of the container. Also included is an indicator rotatably mounted on the base in order to rotate and indicate a scheduled event.
In accordance with still yet another aspect of the present invention a method is provided for indicating a scheduled event. The method employs an adjustable indicator base and a medicine container having a cap. The method includes the step of attaching the adjustable indicator base to the bottom of the medicine container opposite the cap. Another step is adjusting the indicator base to indicate a scheduled event when medicine is ingested.
By employing devices and methods of the foregoing type an improved technique is achieved for reminding a person when medication was last administered (or when to next administer medication) in a container. In a preferred embodiment a short cylindrical base is forced fitted onto the bottom of a medicine container (alternatively, a flatter base can be adhesively secured to the bottom of the medicine container). The exposed face of this base has a recess containing a rotatably mounted indicator, for example, a disk molded with an arrowhead pointer. This pointer can be rotated to point at an indicia marked on the frustoconical sidewalls of the recess in order to indicate an hour of the day. Also in this preferred embodiment, the disk has an aperture that acts as a window to expose one of the indicia on the floor of the recess in order to indicate the desired date of the week.
The base is arranged to give the medicine container a wider and more stable base to prevent tipping. In contrast, indicating devices attached to the top of a medicine container tend to destabilize. Moreover, placing the base on the bottom of the medicine container avoids interference with removing the cap on the container. Also, the base can provide a gripping surface to make removing the cap easier.
The above brief description as well as other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more fully appreciated by reference to the following detailed description of presently preferred but nonetheless illustrative embodiments in accordance with the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Referring to
Outside face 16 of base 10 has a recess 18 with a floor 20 surrounded by a frustoconical sidewall 22. On the opposite side of face 16 is an opening 11 in base 10, which opening is shown forced fitted onto the bottom of a medicine container 24. The bottom of container 24 can be thrust into opening 11 and up against shoulder 14, which acts as a stop. Once installed, the outside face 16 of base 10 acts as a support platform to hold medicine container 24 erect.
The inside surface 13 of opening 11 may be relatively smooth and cylindrical to provide intimate contact and high friction between base 10 and container 24.
Friction can be increased in some embodiments by roughening surface 13 or by coating it with a friction-enhancing substance such as an elastomeric material. Preferably, the contact between inside surface 13 and the outside surface at the bottom of container 24 is so intimate that most of the periphery of container 24 is engaged by inside surface 13 along some transverse plane, for example transverse plane 36 (although plane 36 is exemplary and the conditions existing at plane 36 will likewise exist at many other transverse planes neighboring plane 36). This intimate contact can be maintained whether surface 13 is smooth or roughened.
An indicator 26 is rotatably mounted at the floor 20 of recess 18. Molded on the underside of disk 26 is a cup-shaped axle 28 with a bulbous rim having an inturned lip. Axle 28 is designed to snap into hole 30 in the floor 20 of recess 18. A radial pointer 32 in the form of an arrowhead is molded on the outside of disk 26. Disk 26 can be rotated so that pointer 32 can point to any of an encircling plurality of indicia 34 (e.g., the 12 numeric indicia shown in
Disk 26 has an oval opening 38 acting as a window to expose one of an encircled plurality of indicia 40 marked on the outside of floor 20 in order to indicate a day of the week for a scheduled event. Thus, a user can rotate disk 26 to indicate either an hour of the day, or a day of the week, but not both simultaneously. In alternate embodiments only one of the two techniques for indicating day or hour may be employed. In other embodiments, both day and hour can be indicated but with the positions of the indicia reversed. It will be appreciated that in still other embodiments disk 26 may be rotated to align indicia on the disk with a pointer marked on sidewall 22.
Referring to
In this embodiment, base 42 does not have a cylindrical opening that force fits onto a medicine container. Instead, an adhesive layer 52 is placed on the inner side of base 42. In some embodiments that adhesive layer 52 may be supplied with a protective paper (not shown) that is removed just before adhering base 42 to the bottom of a medicine container.
To facilitate an understanding of the principles associated with the foregoing apparatus, its operation will be briefly described. The operation of the reminder device will be explained in connection with the embodiment of
Preferably, the reminder device will be easily removed from an empty medicine container and reinstalled on another container. This feature accommodates the common situation where a prescription is refilled and provided in a new container.
Once installed, indicator disk 26 can be rotated to point to a scheduled event when a medication will be ingested next (or when a medication was ingested last). If the medication must be taken several times throughout the day a user will most conveniently set pointer 32 to indicate the hour when the medication must next be ingested. If the medication is taken once per day, window 38 may be positioned to indicate the day when the medication must be ingested next. Installing the reminder device on a specific medicine container will facilitate handling medications with different schedules. The medication for each container can be separately and independently scheduled by using a reminder device dedicated to that one medication.
Distinct advantages flow from mounting the reminder device on the bottom of a medicine container. In particular, the reminder device is located away from the cap 25. This prevents interference with the removal of cap 25, which can be important when the user's hand strength is impaired or cap 25 is a childproof or tamper-resistant cap that is ordinarily difficult to remove. Moreover, base 10 can have grip-enhancing qualities by virtue of the knurled edge of flange 12 or the elastomeric texture of coating 15. Thus the user can securely grip the container 24 by holding base 10. Since the base 10 has a greater outside diameter than the bottom of container 24, increased leverage may be applied to cap 25.
Also, the setting of indicator 26 is less likely to be disturbed because the indicator is mounted in recess 18. Thus, after one sets indicator 26 cap 25 may be replaced and the container 24 handled without a significant risk of disturbing the setting of the indicator 26.
Also, placing the reminder device on the bottom of container 24 makes that container more stable. If one were to place a reminder device in or on cap 25, container 24 would become top-heavy and would tend to tip. With many such top-heavy containers in a medicine cabinet, toppling one container would cause a chain reaction with many containers tumbling out of a medicine cabinet. In contrast, the present reminder device increases the stability of medicine container 24 by making the container bottom-heavy, that is, by lowering the center of gravity of the container.
It is appreciated that various modifications may be implemented with respect to the above described, preferred embodiments. While the above reminder device is preferably molded in plastic, in other embodiments the device can be made of stamped metal, ceramics, etc. Also, the overall dimensions of the device can be altered depending upon the targeted medicine container, the desired strength, etc. Moreover, in some embodiments multiple independent indicators can be employed to allow one to separately and independently indicate an hour of the day and a day of the week. Furthermore, the indicator can be one or more rings that rotate in or on annular tracks. Also, the indicating device need not employ a raised arrowhead and may take various alternate shapes. In addition, the indicator disk need not rotate by means of an axle but may instead be fitted inside a circular track to rotate inside that track. Also, any reference to an indicator disk being located in a recess should be taken as a relative characterization, so that a generally flat surface having an annular ridge may be deemed to provide a recess that is located within that ridge. Furthermore, the stability offered by the above base can be enhanced not only with a flange but with a number of radially projecting spokes.
Although the invention herein has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it is to be understood that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and applications of the present invention. It is therefore to be understood that numerous modifications may be made to the illustrative embodiments and that other arrangements maybe be devised without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

Jamie Moyer was released three times in his baseball career before he was 30. So what's another setback at the age of 49? The Colorado Rockies felt they had to make a move with Moyer in an effort to patch together a leaky rotation. Moyer, however, isn't ready to retire. The Rockies didn't want to simply release him. So on Wednesday, the Rockies designated Moyer for assignment. That gives them 10 days to dispose of his contract. That gives them plenty of time to put him on waivers and let Moyer know if any other team out there might have an interest. Asked if he is interested in trying to continue to pitch, Moyer said "I am." For now, though, Moyer has a few days to kick back. "I'm going to go home (Wednesday night) and go to a high school graduation on Saturday,'' he said in reference to the coming event for Hunter, his second-oldest son. "His team (Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego) is in the playoffs so after the graduation we will to go a baseball game.'' Then Mo...

Antiochian Village
|This article forms part of the series
|Orthodoxy in the Americas
|Jurisdictions (list)
The Antiochian Village is a center for Orthodox activities in Bolivar, Pennsylvania (5 miles north of Historic Ligonier ) that was founded in 1978. It is under the jurisdiction of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America and consists of a conference center and a camp. It was the site of the Ligonier Meeting in 1994. Antiochian Village consists of two elements: A Conference and Retreat Center, and a Summer Camp with off-season offerings.
Conference and Retreat Center[edit]
The conference center has one hundred guest rooms, meeting rooms, a banquet hall, dining facilities, and a theological research library. The Saints Peter and Paul chapel is also located within the center. In 2004, the Antiochian Village Heritage Museum was opened, featuring historical artifacts of Orthodox significance, such as icons and vestments.[1]
"The Village" hosts Orthodox as well as external events and retreats. The Orthodox Christian Fellowship East Coast College Conference takes place at the conference center each December. There is an annual Sts. Thekla and Raphael Pilgrimage every fall. St. Thekla is the patron saint of an outdoor chapel on the camp grounds, and St. Raphael is buried just next to the outdoor chapel. The Antiochian Archdiocese has many of its national delegate's meetings and its biennial Clergy Symposium at the conference center, due to the central location and facilities that are conducive to host such meetings.
The Conference and Retreat Center also has four regulation football fields, used for football camps, soccer camps, cheerleader training, marching bands and tournaments. In the Winter of 2013 the dining hall was converted into "The Cedars" banquet facility. The Cedars can accommodate up to 300 people for Weddings, Reunions, Dances, and Proms.
The current Executive Director of the Antiochian Village Conference and Retreat Center is Mr. John Scanlan.
Camping program[edit]
The Antiochian Village Camp program holds both a summer and winter camp each year. The summer camp consists of four 2-week sessions from June to August each year. Approximately nine hundred campers between the ages of 9 and 17, as well as sixty staff, attend the camp every summer. Some main parts of the summer camp program are daily services in the St. Ignatius chapel, Christian education classes, a challenge course, an overnight camping program, and afternoon sports and activities. There are two 4-day winter camp sessions for older campers (12 to 17 years old) over long weekend breaks from school in the winter. Winter camp includes a day trip to go snow tubing and various outdoor winter activities. The camp also has a family camp for families to attend together, and in 2005 started the Villedge Adventures program for 16 to 18 year old campers. Since 2006, there are "Sacred Arts Camps" during the summer for interested campers to learn Byzantine Chanting and Iconography.
In addition to St. Thekla and St. Raphael, the camp's patron saints include the child saint Artemius, St. Herman of Alaska and St. Ignatius of Antioch. The reliquary at the St. Ignatius Chapel includes the relics of St. Herman and St. Moses the Ethiopian.
The camp is currently conducting a capital campaign called "Village 2010" to raise money for many necessary upgrades to facilities. The St. Ignatius Chapel will be expanded, five new cabins will be built, a new dining hall will be created, as well as numerous other projects.
The Antiochian Village Camp has been accredited by the American Camp Association since 1982.
See also: Antiochian Village Camp History
The Antiochian Village was set up by Metropolitan Philip of the Antiochian Archdiocese. The 280-acre (1.1 km2) grounds were purchased from Camp Fairfield, a Presbyterian camp, in 1978,[2] and the first camping season was the summer of 1979. The Conference and Retreat Center was built in 1985 and doubled in size in 1990. Fr. John Namie was the first director from 1979 to 1988. Under his directorship, the camping program grew from a two-camper session to an ACA accredited camping program that served hundreds of Orthodox Youth each summer.
After a succession of directors, Rev. Joseph F. Purpura was the director from 1993–1996, during which time the Ligonier Meeting was held at the conference and retreat center.
Fr. Michael Nasser was made director in 1997. He grew the camp from a three-session summer program into the current format of four fortnight-long summer sessions, as well as two winter camp sessions, family camp, and sacred arts camps.
The current Camp Director is Fr. Anthony Yazge. He took up this position in 2007, having previously participated in the camping program as session priest.
H. Paul Finley was the Director of the Conference and Retreat Center from 2006 to 2012. The current Conference and Retreat Center Director is John Scanlan.

Individual, Family, School, And Community Predictors Of High School Male Suicidal Behaviors: An Analysis Of 2010 Iowa Youth Survey Data
Beck-Cross, Cathy
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectTeenagers--Suicidal behavior--Analysis--Iowa; High school students--Suicidal behavior--Analysis--Iowa; Youth--Suicidal behavior--Analysis--Iowa
Youth suicide is a public health issue and the second leading cause of death for young Iowans ages 15 to 24 years, with young males six times more likely to die than their female peers (Iowa Department of Public Health, 2009). Suicide among adolescents is a complex issue, but there are patterns of individual, family, school, and community influences that contribute to the likelihood a young person will think about, plan, or attempt suicide. Examination of those patterns reveals that adolescent males have a different constellation of risk and protective factors impacting their likelihood of suicide (Kelly, Lynch, Donovan, & Clark, 2001) than adolescent females. Using Bronfenbrenner's (2005) bioecological model of human development, the purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the macrosystem of race/ethnicity, and the microsystems of individual (risk behaviors of substance use and anti-social choices, and resilient behavior of self-determination), family (family engagement), school (school connectedness), and community (community support) predicted the suicide behaviors of intent or attempt in 11th grade males in the state of Iowa. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated each of the variables was predictive of either suicide intent or attempt, with substance use, anti-social choices, self-determination, family engagement, and school connectedness predictive of both of the suicidal behaviors. This study provides information about predictors of suicidal behaviors among young males, which can lead to the development of targeted strategies for prevention. Recommendations for policy and practice are provided for individual, family, school, and community interventions.

So much for gangsters or communists infiltrating Hollywood. The real invisible menace turns out to be scientists.
"Just a sign of the modern times — the science has to be there," says director Roland Emmerich, whose end-of-the-world film, 2012, opens in November. "We are all looking for great themes out there, and science has those."
Audiences agree.
Knowing, Nicolas Cage's apocalyptic science thriller, surprised critics by topping the box office with $24.8 million in ticket sales over the weekend. Angels & Demons star Tom Hanks last month toured Europe's CERN atom-smashing facility, which also stars in the antimatter mystery movie premiering May 15.
And a spate of other science-themed flicks arrives this year as well. James Cameron's alien world of Avatar opens in December, and Sony's animated inventor comedy, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, opens in September.
"It turns out a lot of people in Hollywood think science is cool," says Jennifer Ouellette, director of the Science and Entertainment Exchange, the Los Angeles-based outreach office of the venerable National Academy of Sciences.
The exchange, which formally opened in November, pairs up films and shows in development with scientists. Its goal is to get the science on the screen straight, the latest example of science's mind-meld (to use some Star Trek lingo) with the popular imagination.
"Writers and directors have discovered there is a higher tolerance, maybe even an interest or a demand, for better science," says Angels & Demons director Ron Howard, who worked with CERN scientists on the film's depiction of the lab. "Audiences are getting smarter by the minute."
On the small screen, shows such as CBS' TheBig Bang Theory and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation are undoing the legacy of Star Trek's pointy-eared Mr. Spock by making scientists look almost cool, says media scholar David Kirby of the United Kingdom's University of Manchester. "We are in a golden age of science on television," he says.
Shows like CSI and Fox's Bones, in particular, try to get science right, says Kirby, a former academic biologist. "Science gives these shows certainty in uncertain times. Even if science, in reality, is all about uncertainty."
It came from outer space
Says sociologist Wesley Shrum of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, "Science in entertainment isn't anything new." A Trip to the Moon, the 14-minute silent movie regarded as the first science-fiction film, was a hit after its 1902 release. The Lost World in 1925 featured dinosaurs trying to eat scientists and stomping city dwellers, almost seven decades before Jurassic Park.
"Movies change to reflect the society around them, and the way science appears certainly reflects that," says astronomer and blogger Phil Plait. In the past century, scientists went from somewhat remote heroes in films, such as 1943's Madame Curie, to more sinister figures in the Cold War, such as the title character in 1964's Dr. Strangelove, to more human characters, such as Jodie Foster's Eileen Arroway in 1997's Contact. Of course, mad scientists have always been popular, from 1931's Frankenstein to today's Fox show Fringe, blessed with its own nutty professor who works in a basement lab.

OK, this is something that always bugged me whenever I watched a parade, and I really want to know...
How are they controlled?
I mean, I know some have drivers on board as some have obvious cabin space, but consider the beauty and the beast float in the parade of dreams? consider the princess ballroom float in christmas fantasy?
In fact, there's a lot of parade floats that just do not have the space on board for a concealed cabin, unless the driver is lying in some kind of coffin-sized control room, but then could anyone safely guide a huge float through crowds of people everyday in those conditions?
If anyone knows where the drivers are in a lot of those impossible floats, or knows HOW they are driven pleeeeeaaaaaase tell me!
I'm new here on this forum, so Hi, (i should have said that first)!!!!!

Protected crops
Protected or greenhouse crops (i.e. those grown in glasshouses, plastic houses, and poly-tunnels) are predominantly those vegetables or ornamentals which cannot be produced economically outdoors, or which are in demand out-of-season. Typical of glasshouse vegetable crops are tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, beans and peppers. Smaller-scale businesses produce indoor and bedding plants, and are thus often linked to a nursery or garden centre.
Protected crops usually have high market value and are relatively expensive to produce, requiring specialist methods of cultivation, irrigation, ventilation, pest management andenvironmental control.
A sample of Items held in the Protected crops category
- Swamp Cypress Rust Mite (Epitrimerus taxodii)
- Brown Rot of Potato
- A threat to our woodlands, heathlands and historic gardens - Phytophthora kernoviae
- Eggplant Borer (Leucinodes orbonalis)
- Field Grown Strawberries
- 23. Genetic marker-based selection for resistance to bTB has the potential to make a significant contribution to bTB control
- Identification of Colorado beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) and insects frequently mistaken for it
- Aphid parasitoids – new opportunities and challenges.
- Mushroom production - introduction
- Pepper weevil (Anthonomus eugenii)

dōTERRA CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils represent the safest, purest, and most beneficial essential oils available today. They are gently and skillfully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy. Experienced essential oil users will immediately recognize the superior quality standard for naturally safe, purely effective therapeutic-grade dōTERRA essential oils.
Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or the smell of fresh cut mint, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide plants with protection against predators and disease and play a role in plant pollination.
Essential oils are non water-based phytochemicals made up of volatile aromatic compounds. Although they are fat soluble, they do not include fatty lipids or acids found in vegetable and animal oils. Essential oils are very clean, almost crisp, to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin. Pure, unadulterated essential oils are translucent and range in color from crystal clear to deep blue.
Try this at home: Squeeze the peel of a ripe orange. The fragrant residue on your hand is full of essential oils.
In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. Modern scientific study and trends toward more holistic approaches to wellness are driving a revival and new discovery of essential oil health applications.

Getting defensive
No. 8 Huskies overwhelm No. 6 Yellow Jackets
JACKSBORO — When Arbnor Kelmendi buried two long 3-pointers to start the game it looked like Stephenville might get Hirschi into a shootout.
The Yellow Jackets average nearly 69 points per game and had scored 70 in their Area victory last week.
But after holding a 17-15 lead with one quarter gone No. 6 Stephenville was deep-sixed by the Hirschi defense. The Huskies controlled the final three quarters and the game, 70-45, in a Region I-3A quarterfinal at Jacksboro High School.
Stephenville (26-8) scored 28 points on 11-of-45 (24 percent) shooting over the final three quarters.
No. 8 Hirschi (21-9) found offense in the usual places with Marcus Foster scoring a game-high 24 points followed by sixth man Torrence Cooper with 16.
"I thought we played our best game of the year," Hirschi coach Donald Hedge said. "I thought we did what we wanted to defensively. They were hurting us early in the game, getting back door and getting some second shots.
"I thought it was our best game of the year and we got major contributions from a lot of people."
Hedge had nothing but praise for Kelmendi coming into the game and his team saw early he wasn't blowing smoke when he knocked in his first two 3-pointers. He finished with 16 points and a team-best four assists but it came on 6-of-19 shooting.
"We knew that he would get hot but it was up to us how we would respond," Foster said. "Really we just needed to defend. Once we got a feel for the game I felt we were going to win."
The Huskies used a 6-0 spurt to take its first lead. LaKarl Williams was a spark with nifty passing and the baskets came from Foster, Devonte Barnes and Williams.
A nice set play out of a timeout gave Foster a layup and the Huskies a 28-27 lead with 43 seconds left in the half. D'Shan Harley made a hustle offensive rebound and save to Torrance Cooper, who was fouled and buried two free throws with 4.6 seconds left in the second period for a 30-27 halftime lead.
Kelmendi had 11 points in the first half to match Foster for game-high honors. He hit one more big 3-pointer, capping a 6-0 run and cutting the Hirschi lead to 34-33 with 4:11 in the third quarter.
But Hirschi closed the quarter on a 13-1 run and earned its third trip to the regional tournament in four years.
The Huskies lost in this quarterfinal round a year ago but they held two playoff opponents to 96 points to get back to Lubbock.
"That was one of our best games of the year and I feel like we can play like that every night," Foster said. "The whole key was to defend and rebound and we did a good job of that tonight."
D'Shan Harley came off the bench to provide 12 rebounds, eight points on 4-of-5 shooting and two blocks. Terrence Cooper also scored eight, including five in the first quarter to help Hirschi keep pace. Mack Sillemon added six points and four assists and Devonte Barnes had six points and six boards.
"It's good to get back to the regional tournament and hopefully we can keep the momentum going," Hedge said.
The Huskies made 27-of-47 field goals (57 percent) as they hit at least half of their tries in each quarter. They made 5-of-12 3-pointers while the Jackets launched 26 and made seven.
Stephenville's Juder Stidham had 15 points (6-of-8 field goals) and eight rebounds to go with Kelmendi's effort. Those two had 12 of the Jackets' 18 field goals.
Hirschi will play Midland Greenwood at 8:30 p.m. Friday at the United Spirit Arena in Lubbock. That will follow the Kennedale-Abilene Wylie game which tips off at 7 p.m.
The Region I-3A championship is set for 8 p.m. Saturday.

Claussen sees glass half-full
He's likely Reds' No. 2 starter
By Marc Lancaster / Post staff reporter
SARASOTA, Fla. - Brandon Claussen takes his share of well-intentioned grief in the Reds' clubhouse for his goody-goody persona, but you can't say there's anything disingenuous about it.
The left-hander is relentlessly positive, and his self-deprecating humor has a way of defusing his tougher days at the office. After a start last July in which he tied a club record by allowing five home runs to the Chicago Cubs, Claussen remarked that "it was like I was throwing watermelons up there and they were Gallagher."
It's all good, clean fun, but that only serves to hide his competitive edge. Broach the subject of the Reds' collective pitching effort last year, when the staff ranked last in the National League in ERA, and Claussen flips it around.
"It depends on how you look at it," he said. "There's a negative side of things and there's a positive. If you want to fret on the negative, you're almost setting yourself up for rejection later on. I kind of look at it like, OK, we were the worst, and when you're at the bottom, the only way to go is up. It's not going to get any worse."
That's the sweetness and light of it. Nudge Claussen a little bit further and he acknowledges how tantalizing the Reds' stat sheet must appear to opponents. Still, he said, he and his colleagues shouldn't allow any of that to bother them.
"I definitely think we're going to be underestimated, there's no doubt in my mind," said Claussen. "If I was playing an opponent like us, I would assume we were going to walk all over them. I would. But I really think it's all about an attitude. I try and take a positive attitude coming to the field every day, if I'm throwing in the bullpen, if I'm shagging. I'd rather look at things positively than negatively."
That's a longstanding approach for the 26-year-old, but the foundation is a bit more solid as he enters 2006. This time a year ago, Claussen was one of a handful of players grappling for the final spot in the starting rotation.
"He scuffled, too," Reds manager Jerry Narron recalled.
Claussen certainly didn't wrest the job away from anyone else. It almost fell to him by default, as a pitcher with obvious potential and no minor league options remaining. When the regular season began, Claussen spent the first two weeks on the bench, throwing occasionally in the bullpen. He finally made his season debut April 19, becoming the last major league player on an Opening Day roster to see action.
Once Claussen finally joined the fight, it didn't take him long to get up to speed. And as the higher-priced veterans all around him - Paul Wilson, Eric Milton and Ramon Ortiz - collectively imploded, the stability Claussen provided became increasingly valuable. For the most part, he (and Aaron Harang) kept the team in the game.
That was more than could be said most nights of the week early last season, and it made a difference for Claussen.
"As you go out there and have a little bit of success, that's what breeds confidence," he said. "I just really try not to do too much, I try and keep the game nice and easy. As I went on last year I got more and more confident. I was feeding off the guys that were playing behind me, I could feel that they were confident in me. The coaching staff definitely was."
Narron vouched for that. Unbidden, he brought up what he considered a key at-bat in Claussen's development last season. It came in a game against the Brewers on Sept. 5. Former Milwaukee first baseman Lyle Overbay entered the game 9-for-13 with four home runs in his career against Claussen, but the young left-hander struck him out with the go-ahead run on second base in the seventh inning of a tie game.
"I saw the confidence," said Narron. "I saw him get Lyle Overbay out when he needed to one day in about the seventh inning. He needed the experience, he needed some positive experience, and he got that."
Claussen ended up 10-11 with a 4.21 ERA in 29 starts last year, firmly establishing himself as a member of the Reds' rotation. He could very well be the team's No. 2 starter to open the season, behind Harang, after the consistency he displayed in 2005.
It's been a long road for Claussen, who was drafted in the 34th round eight years ago by the Yankees. But if he hadn't taken the route he has, maybe his outlook would have changed, maybe he might not be here at all.
"I think it's important for everyone to have a vision of where they want to be, but I don't make that my main focus," Claussen said. "I don't want to miss the journey. The journey's half the fun anyway."
No one, Claussen included, drew any sort of enjoyment from the Reds losing 89 games last season. But in Claussen's world view, that experience will only make the next step in his journey more satisfying.
"I would love to be on a team that really turned this thing around, not only for the team but for the city of Cincinnati," he said. "I just think it makes the victory that much sweeter when you've been on the losing end of the battle every once in a while. I just wouldn't want to go somewhere, walk in, win and leave."
