A dazzling weekend of arts and artists
The latest composition of music professor Paul Salerni will highlight a weekend of spectacular arts programming at Lehigh. Salerni's Saturday evening premiere of the one-act opera,
Tony Caruso's Last Broadcast
, will feature a libretto by Dana Gioia, chair of the National Endowment of the Arts. Gioia also will give an informal talk on writing a libretto on Sunday afternoon.
Both events will follow a poetry reading by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, one of the best-known poets of post-Stalin Russia, on Friday evening. His poems also will be incorporated into
American Visions II
, a song cycle composed by Louis Karchin and performed by the Da Capo Chamber Players in the first LUVME (Lehigh University Very Modern Ensemble) concert of the new year on Saturday evening.
American Visions II
follows the first
American Visions
concert, which was presented at Zoellner Arts Center to honor the American spirit in words and music on the second anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"This weekend offers an incredible series of events," says Deb Sacarakis, director of programming and outreach for Zoellner. "The programming provides opportunities to come into contact with people who represent various components of the featured concert. With the Yevtushenko reading, the concert and the Gioia conversation, you have the chance to hear other work, to witness and learn about the creative process and successful collaborations, to talk with the artists."
Fortunately for Salerni, conversations with Gioia are a frequent occurrence in a long and prosperous collaborative friendship that spans nearly 20 years. The two began working together after Salerni set a Gioia poem from
The New Yorker
to music. Pleased by the transformation of his words in "Garden on the Campagna," Gioia "blessed" the arrangement and began sending him both finished and unfinished works for him to score.
Tony Caruso's Last Broadcast
tells the woeful tale of a failed tenor and eccentric radio personality who hosts a program for opera lovers until the station's managers decide to change the format from classical to pop. During the last broadcast of his program, Caruso is visited by the ghosts of his mother, opera diva Maria Callas, and a mystery woman who offers him redemption.
"His mother makes him feel guilty for failing at his art," Salerni says. "Then Maria Callas explains to him why he failed. Finally, his last visitor gives him an opportunity to alter his fate. It's dramatic, it's entertaining, and Gioia's words are incredible."
The Salerni opera provides an opportunity for three Lehigh students to perform on stage: music major Raina Savitsky '04, theatre major Gelsey Bell '04, and sociology/anthropology major Elizabeth Luber '04.
In the orchestra pit with Salerni, who will play the keyboards, will be several Lehigh students and staff and faculty members. Students include Andrew Rakowsky '04, Ryan Murray '06 and Charles Butterhof '07. The list of professors and staff include David Bakamjian, Michael Christianson, Chris DeSanto, David Riekenberg, Gary Rissmiller, Jim Thoma, David Diggs, Linda Ganus and Bill Warfield. Additional singers will be Deb Field and Jan Opalach.
On Friday evening, Yevtushenko will offer his poetry reading at 8 p.m. in Room 145 of Zoellner. Gioia's informal talk titled "Words for Music: Writing a Libretto," will be at 2 p.m. Sunday in Room 145 at Zoellner. Both events are free and open to the public.
The Lehigh Uuniversity Music Department will present the LUVME (Lehigh University Very Modern Ensemble) in AMERICAN VISIONS II at 8 p.m. Saturday. Paul Salerni premieres his unstaged one-act opera TONY CARUSO'S LAST BROADCAST, with libretto by poet and NEA Chairman Dana Gioi and AMERICAN VISIONS, Louis Karchin's setting of the poems by Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko. Tickets are $15, and discounts are offered to senior citizens and students. For tickets, call 610-758-2787 or order online

LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- Dakota Warren booted three field goals and UTEP set up a touchdown with a 60-yard run on a fake punt in a 16-10 victory over New Mexico State on Saturday night.
On the fake punt, the ball was snapped to Joe Banyard, who raced 60 yards to the New Mexico State 6. Moments later, Leilyon Myers scored on a 5-yard run.
Warren connected on field goals of 42, 47 and 37 yards. Myers was tough up the middle -- 55 yards on 16 carries
New Mexico State couldn't establish a running game, rushing for just 16 yards on 29 attempts.
Aggies quarterback Andrew Manley completed 20-of-37 pass attempts for 242 yards and a touchdown, but was sacked six times.
New Mexico State moved the ball inside the UTEP 5-yard line three times, but only had a field goal to show for it.

Myth-busting the bodhisattvas
Adam Savage, star of TV's popular Myth Busters, gave an impassioned speech at the recent Reason Rally in Washington, DC. At the conclusion of his talk he had the following to say:

I have concluded through careful, empirical analysis and much thought that somebody is looking out for me, keeping track of what I think about things, forgiving me when I do less than I ought, giving me strength to shoot for more than I think I'm capable of. I believe they know everything that I do and think and they still love me and I've concluded after careful consideration that this person keeping score is me. (Source)

Avalokitesvara: The heart of the rainbow
As a child growing up in Scotland I had a strong relationship with the Holy Spirit. I would pray for the Holy Spirit to fill me with the love that existed between God the Father and God the Son. I have no idea where I got this sophisticated understanding of the Holy Spirit — but he was the personification of the love that enabled God to let his son be sacrificed to redeem mankind. I prayed that this mighty love would free me and others from the suffering I saw around me. Perhaps it made sense of how God could be a god of love and yet, alongside the beauty … Read more »

G.K. Chesterton: "The true object of all human life is play."
The bodhisattva moves through life elegantly, "in the zone" and in a state of playful "flow," and he can do this because he has abandoned any clinging to the idea of self. "Let go of your sense of self; you have nothing to lose but your suffering," Bodhipaksa tells us.
I think Chesterton was absolutely right when he said that the object of life is play. The best kind of life we can live, I believe, is one in which we love, laugh, and learn: one in which we can be serious without being down, and can laugh irreverently at life's difficulties without being facetious or trivializing them.

Vajrapani: Breaking free
Wrathful Vajrapani, the bold blue Buddha of energy, is helping Vajradevi to transform her demons.
A few years ago I was sitting in a London office one winter day as the rain came down in slick sheets. Lightning flashed across the low sky and, as the thunder suddenly crescendoed, a half-dozen car alarms shrieked out to the surprise of pedestrians. No-one had touched the vehicles. The unseen power of the thunder had set the alarms off. It seemed a mischievous reminder from nature of the power at her disposal.
It also brought to my mind Wrathful Vajrapani, the Bodhisattva of energy or power. This is the figure I took on … Read more »

Dear Auntie,
I'm concerned that all the images I've seen of female Bodhisattvas are well endowed with decidedly non-sagging, bodacious breasts. I realize these are images of "ideal" women who are only 16 (so the sagging hasn't set in yet). But, as a less well-endowed woman, I'm wondering if there is … Read more »

Golden girls inspiring Frazier's push for GB rowing place
Posted: February 08, 2013|
Training under a banner of Olympic gold medallists Heather Stanning and Helen Glover has proven a huge inspiration for Frazier Christie, who is aiming to take the next step in his own rowing career this weekend.
The 20-year-old is a member of the GB Rowing Team's Start programme at the University of Bath, as were London 2012 women's pair champions Stanning and Glover.
"I joined the Start programme just after Heather and Helen left Bath but it's been great to train alongside the banner of them that has been in gym since they won their gold," said Christie.
"My ultimate goal is to represent Great Britain at the Olympics. The GB team has a good development pathway and in the short-term I want to get to the Under-23 World Championships [in Austria]. That would be a good stepping stone."
Related content
Christie can take a step closer to that goal on Saturday when he rows at the GB Rowing Team's second winter assessment trials in Lincolnshire.
He is one of four University of Bath rowers selected for the trials and he was also invited to train alongside the British senior and under-23 squads in Spain last month.
"It was hard work training at an altitude of 2,300m but I got a lot from it," he said. "It was also good for my confidence to know I'm considered one of the top guys."
Christie also got some extra altitude training at Christmas in Kenya, where his father serves with the British Army.
Dan Harris, GB Rowing Start coach at Bath, said Christie has shown the sort of dedication needed to progress.
"He has a good attitude to training and is totally committed," he said. "Because of that he is physically robust and physiologically he has stepped up massively."
Christie started rowing as a sixth former at Prior Park College and now receives support at the University of Bath from a Santander Scholarship. He is also a Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) student.
He will partner fellow economics student Jack Cadman in a pair at the weekend and both will be aiming to secure invitations to the final senior trials in April.
The other Bath pairing sees mechanical engineering student Alex Wilding, who receives a Bill Whiteley Scholarship, row with Ben Jackson, a sport and exercise science student.
* Are you female aged 16-22 and at least 178cm? Or male aged 16-20 and at least 188cm tall? Want to get tested? Contact Dan Harris – email@example.com – to apply for the GB Rowing Team Start Programme.

The First Batch of Windows, a Ceiling Tile, and a Question
A few weeks ago, we loaded up the first ten windows from the building and our contractor Jerry hauled them to the workshop to be worked on.
Yesterday, the new/old windows arrived!
This was especially exciting, because with the exception of the floor we put in this room, I think this was the first non-demolition development since we began the project.
Because we want to reuse as many existing/old materials as we can, we had the craftsman salvage as much of the old windows as he could. In this batch of five, the window on the far right was the only one that had to be made almost entirely new.
Now, with the other batch of five, a lot of the wood was completely rotted out, so a lot of the windows had to be rebuilt. The good thing is, this batch of ten windows represented the most dilapidated of all the 65-plus windows in the building; we wanted to start with the worst case scenario so we could see how it would go.
The craftsman did a great job. Hopefully one of these days I can mosey up to his workshop in Missouri, take him some cookies, and document his process. And eat some of his cookies.
The other day I showed you this ceiling, which is both beautiful and terrifying all at once.
Drumroll, please…
This is the very first stripped, cleaned-up ceiling tile! It was blasted off, but not with sand, because it's a little too abrasive, and not with soda, because the soda can't be reused, but with something…well, with something I can't remember because it's 8:26 and I've only had .92 cups of coffee.
But I'll find out today and post more details.
PLASTER vs. SANDSTONE
And now, for a new issue/question.
This is the wall that separates the north and south sides of the building. The walls are covered with plaster, but we were curious about what was underneath (in many cases, it's been brick…but we've learned never to make assumptions.)
So the plaster was taken off in a small, hidden area…and we discovered that the entire wall is sandstone.
So one of our next decisions is whether to leave the plaster (which would obviously be painted at a much later time) or remove all the plaster from the wall to reveal the sandstone underneath. The stone would certainly require some cleaning up and, eventually, probably sealing in some way. But we can't decide whether it would contribute to or detract from the look of the place.
What do you think?

Sandstone because it's just such a beautiful colour. Plus you can either use a sealer on it but if your using the area as a food area a clear varnish would be best.
Cindy Mansfield On Friday, February 15 at 1:25 pm
Just turned 60 and I love it!!! I would stay right here where I am…..
Cindy Mansfield On Friday, February 15 at 1:30 pm
Oops! I mean sandstone! Would be beautiful!!
Betty O'Neal On Friday, February 15 at 1:26 pm
Sandstone definately. It will hellp make the space special. Anyone can have plaster, right?
Good Luck !!!
Michelle On Friday, February 15 at 1:27 pm
I agree ~ sandstone! No contest – plaster or sandstone ~ sandstone will win every time!! Anyone can have plaster!!
Huey On Friday, February 15 at 1:27 pm
Will the sandstone ever be touching the brick portion of the wall? Or will there be a separation by either a divider or usage of space? That said. If you are going to be defining areas separately,definitely go for the standstone, it will have the feel like it was done on purpose. If it is to be continuous, then the space may seem chaotic and mishmashed, an afterthought. Think of what you are using it for…..then let us know!!!!
Mimi22 On Friday, February 15 at 1:28 pm
Since sandstone is so soft, and will be on an interior wall, I would cover it with the plaster.
Plaster, of itself, is an art. I think a slickly plastered wall, done by an artisan, would make the brick stand out. The squares of the sandstone would do battle with it, in my humble opinion. As a child, the lady who babysat me lived in a large, old sandstone home.
The inside walls were all plastered. They were cool to the touch, from the thick stone behind them, and slick, from the trowel and sandpaper of a master "mudder".
Kristin L On Friday, February 15 at 1:28 pm
Sandstone! It is somewhat unique, where as plaster can be done any time, any where. Besides, I'm a bit fond of exposed brick and stonework.
Jennifer C LC On Friday, February 15 at 1:31 pm
At one point in time it was brink and sandstone. Someone in history came along and covered it up with the plaster. You could take it all down. (It's EXTREMELY messy if you haven't done it yourself.) You could take part of it down and leave part of the plaster for areas of character. I personally love the look of the brick and the sandstone, but that's my opinion. I think it all depends on what you're going to use the building for. A local pizza shop in town moved into an old building and one wall was completely brick. They sealed it (to follow code) but it also brought out some of the color in the brick and it's truly beautiful.
I don't think you can really go wrong with either decision as long as you don't cover it all up with drywall and modern fixtures and textures. That is if you're trying to restore the building which is what it sounds like you are trying to do. My husband and I will be tearing the plaster down in our home (1917 bungalow) to reveal the brick where it is because we want that character and to break up the look of the walls so it isn't so plain… if that makes sense. There is a gal here in Minnesota who is on the DIY channel, Nicole Curtis who is an expert in restoring old houses and buildings. She may be able to help you too. Good luck, it's truly a beautiful space. Can't wait to see it finished!!
Kay Johnson On Friday, February 15 at 1:31 pm
Reveal the sandstone. The work will be worth it.
Jeanie On Friday, February 15 at 1:32 pm
I think it might clash with all of the exposed brick.
ChristineM On Friday, February 15 at 1:36 pm
Definitely sandstone. If that was the original with the building, why not stay with as much of the original as possible? It would look so great
Kathie On Friday, February 15 at 1:37 pm
I'd remove the plaster, restoring it to it's original state will be well worth the trouble, that's what I'd do
Mindi Crawford On Friday, February 15 at 1:37 pm
Sandstone! How Wonderful!
Jody On Friday, February 15 at 1:39 pm
I love to vote…sandstone, if that was the original part of the facade then it just has to be. Besides character in the long run the stone would be so much easier to maintain. We have it built around our fire place and it's beautiful after we took the white paint off it! Not an easy task but so very worth it for the natural beauty.
KimberlyS On Friday, February 15 at 1:40 pm
Sandstone definitely!!! It adds so much character to the space.
Becky in VA On Friday, February 15 at 1:41 pm
Sandstone or Plaster?
What exactly is sandstone?
Which would be more practical in the longrun?
Amy P On Friday, February 15 at 1:42 pm

sherri in NY On Friday, February 15 at 1:45 pm
Definitely the sandstone, love the natural look and color. By the way, what are your plans for this building ???
Patsy On Friday, February 15 at 1:45 pm
I vote for the sandstone. It is so much more interesting than painted plaster.
Pam On Friday, February 15 at 1:46 pm
Well….I don't have enough information to advise you on this….if I knew what the intention of the building would be…I could toss in my two cents worth. As it is, I will just sit back and enjoy the journey.
Pamel On Friday, February 15 at 1:47 pm
Great job! It looks so awesome already! My husband and I agree-sandstone-
Lois On Friday, February 15 at 1:50 pm
Love the look of the sandstone! BUT, if it is damaged to much it may be cost over look in the end, I would ask your contractor (the hubbs advice as he was one) and the time to remove it might come in to the cost of removing the plaster…. bottom line is time and cost …. but I do LOVE the sandstone lol
{vicki} On Friday, February 15 at 1:53 pm
Nancy B On Friday, February 15 at 1:54 pm
Depending on look you're going for………personally I would go for sandstone & the texture & character it would bring to the space. I'm sure it could be beautifully restored.
Mary Ann E On Friday, February 15 at 1:56 pm
Joyce On Friday, February 15 at 1:58 pm
I agree that the sandstone would add so much to the historic building. Oklahoma has had so many bad renovations, it would be lovely to leave the sandstone exposed. Maybe you would like to leave a little of the plaster wall or new wallboard to paint a strip of fantastic color. I mean it is a huge area, you might want to break it up?—–but I love the sandstone.
LaDonna On Friday, February 15 at 1:59 pm
Joanne O On Friday, February 15 at 1:59 pm
Do you need someone else to say it? Go with the sandstone.
Victoria On Friday, February 15 at 2:00 pm
Agree with comments that it would depend on what the space is going to be used for.
The other factor is … what wall surface do YOU want? Since it appears that you folks must be spending a small fortune on this wonderful building rehab project in your hometown. Do what would please you the most.
Good luck!
Melinda Clair On Friday, February 15 at 2:01 pm
I think the sandstone because it is unique and beautiful. It goes with your whole idea for the building…used and old…gives so much character and charm. You know when it was first built there was a lot of love and work that went into it. Think of all the people carrying in those rocks. Well, they would want you to show it off again!!!!! Ha… Anyway that is my opinion! Good luck! I am anxious to see what you are going to do with it. I can come and help work for you!!!! I am from Kansas and miss that area! Take Care…Melinda
M J On Friday, February 15 at 2:01 pm
Sandstone. It could be the most original piece in the building. The sandstone is part of the story this building is telling you. My hope is someone will tell you this chapter, just like the biscuit reveal was a chapter. The sandstone shouldn't be too hard to seal if you need to. I'm so jealous. My husband and I were going to buy an old church and renovate, until the inspection gave us the bad news about the cost of just the roof. I guess I'll have to live vicariously through your redo. Can't wait to see what other surprises and stories this building has to tell you! Cheers!
Steph On Friday, February 15 at 2:02 pm
Sandstone…..what a wonderful piece of history you are preserving!
Mamalantz On Friday, February 15 at 2:04 pm
Keep with the real thing!
58Teresa On Friday, February 15 at 2:05 pm
Whichever you choose – outside walls need to be insulated insulated insulated – keep the inside walls the natural and the outside walls insulated. think of costs going up – unless you can put it your own power for heating and cooling (does it get cold where you are?)
mickey On Friday, February 15 at 2:05 pm
I vote for sandstone. It's prettier than boring plaster.
Melissa W. On Friday, February 15 at 2:06 pm
SANDSTONE all the way.
Abigail On Friday, February 15 at 2:06 pm
Love the sandstone!!
debi m On Friday, February 15 at 2:06 pm
The natural sandstone would look great; BUT it all depends on how durable it will be, whether it can be properly sealed, & what will this building be used for? Also, going down to the bricks, sandstone, & mortor, you have to consider how this place will be insulated against the heat & cold. Please let us know what you're going to use this building for???
Liz Eubanks On Friday, February 15 at 2:07 pm
I wonder if many of the people saying "sandstone" know what native sandstone in Oklahoma looks like. It is usually red. I doubt it will look good with the brick. Also, if you are not from an area that has a lot of sandstone, you might not realize that most of the sandstone you see is on dilapidated houses and thus that is what comes to mind frequently.
I have a long wall next to my driveway with at least 6 2×2 columns, all of sandstone. Very red. Not my favorite. However, if what you are doing with the space is something very western, it might be OK. It may have never had a sandstone interior, just because the building is, but I think if you want to expose a a little of it for the history, expose some, not all, unless your are spending all that money for a barn. My opinion.
ptunia On Friday, February 15 at 2:08 pm
I think a nice, warm paint color to match the warm color of the brick or the gray mortar…too much stone can detract from each other. By the way, your ceiling tiles are worth a fortune!
The Mommy On Friday, February 15 at 2:08 pm
I might be the only person to say this but my vote is plaster. I think it gives you more options without it the walls being too busy.
Becca W. On Friday, February 15 at 2:10 pm
Uncover and use the sandstone! It will speak to the character of the building
Cori On Friday, February 15 at 2:13 pm
If it was my property, I would go with the sandstone. BUT this is yours, so you should go with what your gut is telling you as long as it's in the budget
Sharon On Friday, February 15 at 2:15 pm
I agree with most of the people who commented…I love the look of Sandstone, plus that is what we have in Oklahoma (northeastern, that is)
Jennifer On Friday, February 15 at 2:17 pm
Sandstone. If it detracts in any way it will still be a good detraction.
Brunella Brunet On Friday, February 15 at 2:17 pm
Looks like sandstone is the favorite answer to your question and I vote for sandstone too, I say keep as much to the original as possible. Good luck with the renovations.

Kahle On Friday, February 15 at 2:36 pm
I believe the plaster would be the best for several reasons. The plaster is a blank neutral and it leads the eye up to the beauty of the tin ceiling. The sandstone would make an uneven edge for the crown molding and baseboard causing possible difficulties with gaps. In addition, the room may seem dark and cave-like because of all the stone and the color palette of yellow, brown, orange and red.
cindi On Friday, February 15 at 2:36 pm
wow….going with the sandstone….hoping it passes the safety regs…
and please, oh please….what is this final project to be?????
Jeanne F. On Friday, February 15 at 2:38 pm
I would uncover and restore the sandstone. It'll be a lot work, but it'll add to the charm of the building. It's good to preserve as much of an old building's history as possible, and I think you'll be glad that you did. The stripped ceiling tile is just gorgeous!
Tammy M> On Friday, February 15 at 2:38 pm
Well, I am going to say that it depends on the purpose of the building. It really doesn't, but I'm dying to know what you are doing with that huge place so……..
Sandy On Friday, February 15 at 2:39 pm
I really think the sandstone!!! I live just outside of Marquette, Mi where many of the downtown buildings have sandstone, including the original city hall. It is really stunning! I think you would always be happy with that decision!
Kelly D On Friday, February 15 at 2:40 pm
Hey Ree..
Thanks for sharing your renovation process with us
If you are trying to keep the building as true to its historic past then I would check with your local historical society to see what was the "norm" for the time that the building was first built.
They also might be able to share with you techniques used in the past to keep things like that sand wall functional.
BTW if it were me and I was trying to keep the building to its true historical form i would go with the sand wall

Oh, golly, snakes, mice, rats, insects finding safe haven between those stones and then appearing at inopportune times, and then retreating out of reach from capture…nightmare! Now if you can seal the stone to be critter proof, then I would totally go with the stone.
Joseph Conklin On Friday, February 15 at 2:44 pm
The Sandstone would return the true character of the building. Agree expose it and refinish it to its natural beauty.
Connie Pruitt On Friday, February 15 at 2:46 pm
I like sandstone.
Was the ceiling made in Nevada Mo? We have a place here that has made that for years.
Melody On Friday, February 15 at 2:47 pm
I like the idea of the sandstone. And thanks so much for the update. I was just thinking about the building last week and wondering how it was coming along.
Susan On Friday, February 15 at 2:49 pm
Sandstone…it will give the building such character…beautiful!
Ronne On Friday, February 15 at 2:49 pm
If it's going to remain one room then i vote for Plaster…the sandstone competes with and detracts from the brick. Sandstone will also most likely require periodic sealing
Tammy G. On Friday, February 15 at 2:50 pm
I would leave the plaster. I think the Sandstone would clash way too much with the brick next to it. Plus, it would be a lot of added cost & work to make the Sandstone usable. Maybe do some sort of textured painting on the plaster that would compliment the Brick
Jenny On Friday, February 15 at 2:53 pm
Sandstone, it's gorgeous. But…tell us what you are using the building for! I'm dying to know!
marj On Friday, February 15 at 2:54 pm
Well. looks like sandstone is winning–hands down!!! I've gotta agree. Is the sandstone both the exterior and interior wall? If so, that could get pretty iffy. If, however, you have a real craftsman (which it seems as if u do) working for u, he,she,they would know how to stablize it to make it safe and beautiful at the same time. Why go half way with the walls when you're going totally original everywhere else. Of course, I'm not doing the work nor paying to have it done. Gonna be a real showplace however u go.
dawn On Friday, February 15 at 2:55 pm
I think it depends on what your final intent is for the space and how it will contribute to the overall integrity of the room….however, I would love to see the original sandstone come alive and it would provide a beautiful contrast to the lovely red brick, I vote sandstone!
Cathy On Friday, February 15 at 2:56 pm
I love the brick that's been exposed and the sandstone is so beautiful. In my mind, it would depend upon the intended use of the building…I think I would uncover the sandstone, for its beauty and if you needed a different look later, you could cover it, but I say, open 'er up and let that original stone show!
Barbara M On Friday, February 15 at 2:56 pm
Erin Pf On Friday, February 15 at 2:57 pm
What an incredibly fun project! I would definitely go original and sandstone, much more unique than plaster!
AmyG On Friday, February 15 at 2:59 pm
Sandstone. It's lovely.
Kareno On Friday, February 15 at 3:00 pm
Take it down to the Sandstone….pretty/character
Debbie t. On Friday, February 15 at 3:02 pm
I would take down the plaster and expose the sandstone. Provided the sandstone is in good enough condition to last a long time.
Amy On Friday, February 15 at 3:04 pm
Sandstone. It has way more character. I love your ceiling tiles. They are beautiful!
cindy moore On Friday, February 15 at 3:06 pm
Definitely sandstone!! Blast the rough spots w/ sand. tuckpoint any holes and seal it – if necessary
Sue S. On Friday, February 15 at 3:08 pm
Oh, definitely sandstone. It has SO much more warmth and character. I drive by this building about every week. It is so wonderful to see it being saved. Keep up the good work.
Susan On Friday, February 15 at 3:08 pm
If the sandstone is in good shape, expose it! If not, there are myriad things you could do with it. The Kitchen Cousins recently did a kitchen where they wanted to expose the brick, but it was in bad shape, so they covered it with distressed (for age) mirror tiles that looked really amazing – maybe they looked so good because it was such a small space and they were only used as a backsplash, but the effect was amazing.
Susan the Singer On Friday, February 15 at 3:12 pm
There are a lot of variables. I get wanting to keep the purpose of the building under wraps, but that would influence our opinions. The sandstone might look really awesome, but if it doesn't at least coordinate with the brick, it may make the room feel like it was just slapped together with no forethought (which, with old buildings, may be entirely true).
I'd say it would depend upon how the building looked when it was first used: was the sandstone just used as a cheap wall material and covered with plaster, or was it covered later, for various and sundry reasons?
I'm afraid that if there's too much exposed brick and/or sandstone, it's going to look busy, slapped together, inharmonious. It could also be that the plaster on top of the sandstone is all that's holding the building together, and removing it may damage the structural integrity of the whole place.
Truly, I'm no help, but there you go: It could work, if it looks like the sandstone was supposed to be seen, originally; but it might not work, if the sandstone & brick clash and look like a train wreck of building materials. No help at all.
Gail On Friday, February 15 at 3:13 pm
I vote sandstone! Gorgeous!
Kathryn On Friday, February 15 at 3:13 pm
I love the sandstone but find myself agreeing with the previous comments that unless we know the purpose of the building, it is really hard to say.
Linda P. On Friday, February 15 at 3:13 pm
Oh Ree…please leave the sandstone. It may take a little more work but in the end it would defininately add much more character and old charm.
joanie On Friday, February 15 at 3:14 pm
SANDSTONE. How wonderful for you that it's there. History. Character.
Joanne S.R. On Friday, February 15 at 3:14 pm
sandstone all the way!!!! too beautiful to cover up.
desiree dankt On Friday, February 15 at 3:15 pm
In dutch magazines sometimes you can see walls who are mostly been cleaned, but a part of the platster is last. And when the plaster has have different collours in the past, they show all the different collours they have found. On this way you leave a part of the past and history of the building. The part of the wall that is cleaned they make in a good condition. I like a wall that way: for me it shows all the memorys that are in this building but you can also show the beauty of the sandstone.
I wish you and Marlboro Man good luck with this dissision (and the many that may come)
PS my appolagize of my bad english: I'm dutch that is why
Teresa Jacobsen On Friday, February 15 at 3:17 pm
Please…SOS….save our sandstone!
Lauren On Friday, February 15 at 3:18 pm
Sandstone! I love things restored to their original state. It is sad when people try and cover it up. My only keep plaster is if the sandstone is so destroyed that it wouldn't be worth it. I love this project and am enjoying following all your journey along the way!
Linda Maitland On Friday, February 15 at 3:19 pm
Leave the Sandstone…gonna be GORGEOUS!
Terry On Friday, February 15 at 3:19 pm
For nearly the thousandth time….sandstone!
Lisa G. in TN On Friday, February 15 at 3:20 pm
I vote for sandstone. Brick is almost always a plus.

JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Municipal Authority [JMA] held a special meeting yesterday afternoon to approve a revised proposal after the Department of Environmental Protection [DEP] denied the Hunt Marcellus Operating Company's request to buy water from the municipal authority.
Authority members voted unanimously in favor of the revised proposal.
The agreement states that the JMA will supply 157,000 gallons of water at either the Silver Creek and Long Level Road intersection or at the Silver Creek Water Plant.
What began as a small unattended campfire on May 29 has turned into the biggest blaze in Arizona history. Recently helping in the battle against this epic blaze were forest firefighters Don Weis of St. Marys and Bill Maiers of Johnsonburg.
The pair recently returned from a 17-day stint out West, from June 8-24, where they were among three Pennsylvania crews sent out to assist with the firefighting efforts.
"A fire of this size will need resources from all over the country," Weis said.
David J. "Bud" Silvis, 86, of 152 Baumer Rd., St. Marys, died Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at the Pinecrest Manor after an illness of the past several months.
He was born on March 27, 1925, in St. Marys, the son of the late David and Irene Cheatle Silvis. In November 1949 at St. Agnes Episcopal Church, he married Loraine E. Overturf, who preceded him in death on Jan. 13, 1999.
He was a lifelong resident of the area and attended St. Marys schools. He was employed as a chemical engineer at the Stackpole Carbon Co., retiring in 1983.

Gear Review
Matthew Charette
Not a pack for a day trip
I am sure this pack is great for those of you lucky enough to actually heli ride regularly. as far as being a pack that you can use to bootpack/snowshoe through the backcountry, it is not. It has plenty of room for a days worth of safety gear and really is large enough to use as a pack to hike from a base camp of some sort. However it is not built to withstand such use. I usually have no complaints with Dakines products in the durability field, but I feel as though this pack was designed more to hop on the big yellow bus than it was to haul a board, crampons, and axe to a summit and then shred down with snowshoes in tow. After 1 use the snowboard strap on the front was frayed almost all the way through, I was using it for a 3 mile ascent from basecamp. I had my Nidecker Ultralight strapped in and the edges from the board chewed up the low grade board strap in no time, I was almost forced to carry my board luckily it held on long enough to get me to the top, though it will never be able to hold a board properly again (may be sending this one back BC, sorry :(. ) I do like the ease of use with the axe loops however even those are not quite big enough to easily/quickly get a axe with a floating leash, a straight handled leashless axe may fit better. the front pouch is not easily accessible when loaded down and the goggle pouch gets crushed by the board strapped to the back of the pack. The interior of the pack leaves a lot to be desired as well though at this pricepoint I was not exactly expecting a high end organizer. For what it is, you get a pack that would likely hold up to years of heli riding, with the occasional short bootpack, for a school pack this would be just fine though the lack of interior organizing would be a negative for me it is not for many people. I will say that this pack LOOKS great. I dont like to leave negative reviews but I couldnt get over the short comings of this rig.

Cooking and Baking
Thoughts on marinating canned tuna?
Is it really even possible let alone advisable? I mean, it's already cooked. I was thinking of taking it out of the can (which is always a good start), breaking it up with a fork, putting it in the fridge, in a ziploc bag with some marinade for about 15 minutes. Clearly, it can't hurt, but I wonder if it's really going to impart more flavor than say just mixing in some marinade with the mayo and mixing it up.

The Angletech Aeropod fits the Cruzbike seat perfectly and holds enough crap to weigh you down if you don't watch out. It's costy, though, unless you find a used one.

Tastes can change; So, too, can an owner's requirements of their home.
In the early 1960s, for instance, no floor plan seemed better suited to the demands of modern life than the split-level—which divides interior space into sleeping zones, family gathering rooms and service areas. Designers next introduced the "split foyer," which directs traffic up and down from a locale between two floors—giving equal value to kitchen and bedrooms above and family recreation and laundry below.
But such schemes aren't for everyone and, after years of application, restrictive rules—like walls—can wear thin.
Gini and Bob Mulligan are 25-year occupants of a circa-1960s split foyer situated on a wooded setting in Fairfax.
"We were really attracted to the extraordinary country setting when we bought this house in 1988," said Gini. "We were less attracted to the house itself, but thought, well … we can make some changes once we're settled in."
Fast-forward a couple of decades, and the rethinking process is still under way.
"We solicited ideas from a lot of remodelers, but modifications to a split foyer that worked for us weren't easy to come by. In the end, we decided that our surroundings called for a farmhouse with a big welcoming porch. Unfortunately, the conceptual drawings we received mostly just showed we weren't being heard."
Compounding the issue was the couple's extensive wish listwhich included a large master bedroom suite, a gourmet kitchen, substantially enlarged living and entertainment spaces, private places for billiards and studio painting, and lots of natural light and visual continuum in all directions.
Ranked above all this, however, was a call to dramatically redesign the front facade.
"A spilt foyer puts the front door midway between the first and second levels," said Gini. "How do you modify a feature like that?"
Enter Craig Durosko, founder and chairman of Sun Design Remodeling.
"A split foyer is a fascinating challenge," said Durosko. "For starters, you have to eliminate the mid-level front-facing stairwell, and create alternatives that really advance the owner's vision. Typically, this is going to entail structural changes and a redefinition to the home's basic architecture."
The starting point is to concentrate on solving functional considerations, according to Durosko. This then drives the search for an architectural language that satisfies a broad criteria, including the appropriateness of the home's design to its setting.
What evolved was a rural variant of French colonial style, a language associated with Louisiana and the Delta states—places where the indoor-outdoor component is a lifestyle essential.
"Relocating the front door to the second floor main level wrapped by a porch called for distinctive front stairs," Durosko said. "We designed the pavilion roof to reconcile the porch to the higher pitch of a new third-level hipped roof. Three dormer windows—needed for natural light—followed from this."
The new entry portal is a glass-facing double French door. Six divided light windows now grace the reimagined front elevation. Porch support piers are perfectly aligned with its roof columns. The broad flaring stairway narrows toward the top. Old brick was deployed to extend the existing chimney.
Durosko and his team created an evocation of a "raised rural" French colonial style, originally created in the 18th century for a country setting.
By contrast, the remade interior explores open floor plan sensibilities. A footprint above the garage is allocated to a sizeable master suite with 15-foot cathedral ceilings and generous views of the leafy lot from front and back. Three small bedrooms on the home's south side are converted into a generous guest suite complete with its own rear entrance. Front-facing rooms are converted into a library, which accesses both suites, and the new locale for a mid-house staircase linking both the existing lower level and a new third floor.
Other small changes dramatically expand the home's primary living area. Removing just 90 square feet of mid-level foyer permitted designers to reconfigure the living room and dining room into an L-shaped great room wrapping a new gourmet kitchen, which opens on two sides.
The kitchen's cathedral ceiling—crowned with an extensive window wall—invites natural light. Gini said any seat in the primary living area is visually linked to the wooded setting from all sides.
Relocating the stairwell and opening some walls transforms the lower level into a far more light and airy family entertainment center. The third floor also gains light from front and back dormers.
"Rocking on the front porch in the morning or the evening surrounded by trees is just deliciously satisfying," said Gini. "The house is a perfect realization."
The makeover was recently named the nation's best residential addition in the $100,000-$250,000 category by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.
Sun Design Remodeling Specialists frequently sponsors tours of recently remodeled homes, as well as workshops on home remodeling topics.

Stanford Law School held its graduation ceremony on Sunday, May 15, 2005 at the university's Memorial Auditorium. Among those who participated in the ceremony were 167 candidates for the degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD); 18 for the degree of Master of Laws (LLM), with 8 focusing on corporate law and business, and 10 focusing on law, science, and technology; 12 for the degree of the Master of the Science of the Law (JSM); and 4 for the degree of Doctor of the Science of Law (JSD).
This year's John Bingham Hurlbut Award for Excellence in Teaching was awarded to Robert Weisberg '79, Edwin E. Huddleson, Jr. Professor of Law, a two-time winner of the coveted prize. Issuing the graduating class a final homework assignment, Weisberg said, "Dig out your original application essay. Read it–it will remind you of what you aspired to do when you applied to law school. And it will remind you to keep aspiring."
This year's law school ceremony marked the first for Larry Kramer, Richard E. Lang Professor of Law and Dean, who told the graduates, "Law is a powerful tool, used for good, used for ill, and sometimes used with indifference. We hope that we have helped you see the difference between those uses.... Set high goals for yourself. We need great lawyers to solve tomorrow's problems. Go out there and do the impossible because you can. And go out there and live great lives."
Also speaking at the ceremony was Shirin Ebadi, winner of the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize. Ebadi, an Iranian human rights lawyer, was awarded the 2005 Jackson H. Ralston Prize in International Law by the law school. The prize is awarded for distinguished contributions to the establishment of international peace and justice through arbitration, diplomacy, the peaceful settlement of disputes, and the promotion of world order. Past recipients include Jimmy Carter, former president of the United States, and Vaclav Havel, former president of the Czech Republic and leader of the Velvet Revolution.

How to Make a Movie Set
Two Methods:Before ConstructionTime to do it
Movies are the biggest part of entertainment. Movie making has developed in a worldwide market and demands of better films are on a rise. A set is the most important part of a movie. Without a set a movie is merely a group of people standing and doing things i.e. acting! Hence, making a good and appealing set is vital in movie making, to give justice to the story and also the movie. To know how to make great movie sets read the article.
Method 1 of 2: Before Construction
1Study the script. The script is the most important part of a movie. It has information about the story, characters, plot and all the things that will happen in the movie. Studying the script thoroughly will you give you an idea about how the set should look.
- Break down the script into a pattern of images or scenes. Before doing this ask the writer or production coordinator if he/she have already done it for you. But if not then make a long script a group of small parts. This would make it easier for you to understand each part and every frame of that part of the movie. "How would you eat an elephant? Eat one piece at a time." I hope you got the meaning!
- Now visualize the background and the places where you want to show a part or scene of your movie. Try making a storyboard and adding visual details of the set. This would make it a lot easier for you to understand and build that foundation on which you will make your set. "A house could never be made without a blueprint!"
- Add details of colors, furniture etc in your storyboard. Also mention in a note if other materials and props are to be used.
- After you have carefully thought about all the items you will need in your set, place them in your "yet imaginary" set. Its good to observe the relative distance between the objects and whether they look the way you want them to be or not, before you start constructing the set for the movie.
2Talk to the director. Talking to the director about what kind of elements and specific items he/she would like to see and most importantly would not like to see is very important, as the director may not like the concept upon which the set has been placed. So its better that you understand the concept of the set according to the director, because the director is the boss! And this would also save you from the frustration of rearranging the set afterwards.
- The director would also give you the details of your budget (i.e. the budget allocated to you for constructing the set), of the whole movie or a particular area in a scene of the movie.
3Purchase all the material you will need. If Steven Spielberg isn't financing the movie, do mind your budget. Your best bet is to break down your budget for every specific scene so that you will have a detailed information about how to use your budget effectively. "How would you eat a" whatever!Ad
Method 2 of 2: Time to do it
1Start construction. Now that your "blueprint" or sketches and the material you purchased for the set have been approved by the director, start constructing the set. Start constructing the items that are highly detailed and also require lot of time to make, so that you are assured to finish them in given time and wouldn't mess them in the last minute rush!
- Its good to do some research about the architecture if you're showing a specific time era.
3After the set has been made, take photos of the set. And then show them to the director. Take photographs regularly after every scene or during breaks to have a record of the changes and different looks on every scene. This would make it easier for you to reset all the things for re-shoots.
4Keep track of things. Make folders and place your photos, sketches and notes in it. Keep those folders with you all the time for a quick review.Ad
We could really use your help!
- While making sketches of a set: highlight specific locations to the background and set.
- Its okay to spend a little more of your budget for quality and cutback on what is not vitally important.
- While purchasing items: try doing comparison shopping to find the best deals. This would save your budget.
- Giving suggestions to the director about possible changes in the set that would be more attractive is a good way to make the movie better.
Things You'll Need
- A script
- Notes and directions of the director
- Budget
- Building material
- Decorating material
- Notepad
- A sketchpad for drawing sketches
- Instruments for drawing (pencils, pen, markers, erasers, sharpeners etc.)
- Camera (for taking photographs)

Perhaps it might have been just water under the bridge, but Jinkee just wanted to let it all out once and for all.
On ABS-CBN's "Kris TV" recently, Jinkee admitted that she had seriously dealt with husband Manny Pacquiao's womanizing, which she said was a result of the former pound-for-pound champ's fame and the influence of those who surround him.
The downside of fame
"Medyo lumiko lang (si Manny) ng ibang landas," Jinkee said. "Minsan naiimpluwensiyahan ka ng pagiging famous mo. Hindi kasi 'yun ang dati mong buhay and then parang nabigla ka."
Manny, she said, was overwhelmed with the appreciation he was getting, especially from women.
"Ang alam niya may gusto na sa kanya, so grab the opportunity, go. Kaya dumarami sila, actually," Jinkee emphasized.
Associates acted as go-betweens
She also revealed that Manny's close associates and staff had acted as liaisons in these relationships, and in effect became the persons who had encouraged his extra-marital affairs.
"Minsan may mga bodyguard, minsan kapag may nagustuhan, o 'pag naglalakad minsan 'yung mga mata (sinasabi) sa bodyguard 'O number, ganoon.' Kapag may mga tao ka, sila ang nagwo-work para sa iyo," Jinkee revealed.ALSO READ: Jinkee defends Manny's generosity
Despite this, Jinkee could just only laugh at all her husband's past shortcomings. She said she has moved on from these past episodes in her life.
Nice words for Krista
Jinkee also had something nice to say about the most prominent personality linked to Manny nearly three years ago.
In the interview, Jinkee said that starlet Krista Ranillo, who is now married to a US-based Filipino American businessman, deserves a peaceful life.
"Pabayaan na natin siyang (Krista) manahimik. Good for her. Past na naman 'yon," said Jinkee, who never minced words against the former actress when rumors spread about the affair.READ THE BLOG: Manny and Jinkee: True love wins
Evidence surfaced in 2010 when cameras of the entertainment program "TMZ" caught Manny and Krista together in the boxing champ's car, which was leaving ABC Studios in California after Manny appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
Krista and Manny met while filming Manny's film "Wapakman " for the 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival.
Marriage stronger than ever
Jinkee now says that her marriage is stronger than ever, especially with Manny emerging from his defeat to Juan Manuel Marquez in December.
What makes their bond solid as a rock despite all the challenges?
"The love that never fades and God, kasi 'yun ang pinakasentro sa aming relationship ngayon," Jinkee said.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team took to the field for its second scrimmage of training camp. The Mocs used the afternoon workout to go through its pregame routine, as well as get in an 89-play game simulation.
"I think we looked a little sloppy, but I don't think I am ever satisfied," stated head coach Russ Huesman following today's action. "We got a lot of game situation and game management stuff in, which we wanted and was probably the most important thing. Game management and running substitutions was big for us to run through. We got some good stuff out of it, but I'm not sure of how well we played."
The scrimmage mostly featured the first team offense and defense going against the second team units. That meant senior defensive lineman Derrick Lott (Kennesaw, Ga.) went to work against the Mocs No. 2 offensive linemen. The preseason first team All-Southern Conference defensive selection finished the afternoon with five tackles-for-loss and broke up a pass.
"It was an organization thing," explained Huesman. "You want to get things done, and normally when you go one's vs. two's the offense moves the ball and you get the kicks that you want. It helps you script out what you want to do in game situations. When the two's offense is in, you hope that the one's defense stops the ball and you can make substitutions. You can gauge what's going to happen and that's the only reason we did that."
Junior receiver Terrell Robinson (South Pittsburg, Tenn.) started off with a big play on the the No. 1's third possession. On the first snap of the drive, sophomore quarterback Jacob Huesman (Chattanooga, Tenn.) found Robinson over the middle for a 56-yard scoring strike. Robinson finished a very productive scrimmage with five catches for 124 and the score.
Robinson was also 3-6 passing for 60 yards and one TD under center. His TD strike was a 43-yard hookup with freshman Xavier Borishade (Kennesaw, Ga.).
On the offensive side of the ball, Huesman was 14-23 for 178 yards, two TDs and one interception. Freshman Scottie Fleming led the team in rushing with 37 yards on five carries. He gained all 37 yards in one drive with the third team.
The kicking game showed signs of improvement. Junior Nick Pollard (Smyrna, Tenn.) was 4-5 on field goals, hitting from 29, 37 twice and 44 yards. He also missed one from 44 yards.
Defensively, UTC was led by freshman Alex Kirby's (Calhoun, Ga.) interception of Huesman, the only takeaway of the scrimmage. Freshman Ryan Bossung (Nashville, Tenn.) had two breakups and freshman D.J. Prather (Calhoun, Ga.) had two hurries. Senior defensive back Chaz Moore (Memphis, Tenn.) added two TFLs while freshman Keionta Davis (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and sophomore Josh Freeman (Atlanta, Ga.) each added a sack.
Be sure to be back at Finley Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 17 for Meet the Mocs. Many of UTC's athletic teams will be on hand, signing autographs and taking photos in the First Tennessee Pavilion at 1:00 p.m. (E.D.T.). For more information on Meet the Mocs, click here.
The season opener against UT Martin is less than two weeks away. The Mocs kickoff the 2013 campaign at home against the Skyhawks on Thursday, Aug. 29, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now on GoMocs.com or by calling the UTC Ticket Office at (423) 266-MOCS (6627).

This is a very clearly-written text covering primarily complex analysis, and including a number of hard-to-find results. This second edition was published in 1939 and has been in print continuously since then.
The mathematical prerequisites are low: a rigorous course in single-variable calculus is enough. The book refers throughout to particular sections of Hardy's A Course of Pure Mathematics for background (Hardy's book, despite its very general title, is merely a rigorous calculus book). The most valuable sections for modern readers are the numerous far-from-trivial examples (throughout the book), an in-depth exploration of the maximum modulus theorem (including Hadamard's three-circle theorem and the Phragmén-Lindelöf theorem), a thorough study of entire functions (here called integral functions), and a detailed look at asymptotics and Tauberian theorems for power series.
This is very much a pure-mathematics book, with no applications given to other sciences and almost no applications to other areas of mathematics. It's a peculiar feeling to read a detailed chapter on Dirichlet series and to realize that it never mentions their use in number theory! It is also a very analytical book, with no pictures or geometric arguments, not even in the chapter on conformal mappings: everything is done with formulas.
The three chapters on Lebesgue measure and integration are probably the least valuable part of the book today. This theory has been streamlined and now has better terminology, and the material here is found in most books on real analysis in a more concise and easier-to-understand form. The one chapter of Fourier analysis is less dated, but the material is found in many real analysis books, and in most Fourier analysis books that use the Lebesgue integral.

Hello, I'm a beginner in Unity, in Blender and, in fact, in 3D modelling in general.
I made a scorpion in Blender for my game and it's well imported in Unity but every time I try to give it an armature in Blender, for animate it, it looks good on blender but not at all in Unity.
It seems that the normals of the bones are used instead of the object's ones. I read this happen when we give two armatures to a single model or when we made an armature with one bone only. But it's not my case.
Here's my scorpion with armature in Blender:
And here in Unity:
=> The one on the right hasn't any armature. The left one is the scorpion of the Blender's screen who has one armature
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.
(Also, english isn't my first language, sorry if I made some mistakes)

Sprout Social!
Sprout Social is totally awesome! Hootsuite is really rough-looking and terribly confusing… In this particular post, I have created a video based on the Sprout Social dashboard interface. I will be talking about the tools that are offered on the FREE account only since I have yet to upgrade. What's really awesome is that the Sprout Social FREE account is actually more usable than the Hootsuite paid account. These guys must really went after Hootsuite because they really put them to shame analysis and user-freindly wise. I highly recommend this product and I would also like to add that it is definitely worth every 39 of your dollars! Enjoy the video!
Sprout Social vs Hootsuite? Which One Is Better
——-> (Article Excerpt) At first notice, Sprout's interface is substantially more attractive. The home page dashboard is one of the most useful and visually striking aspects of the entire application. It provides a fantastic snapshot of all connected accounts, as well as aggregate trends of these profiles. Upon first loading the application you are given a good sense of where all of your accounts stand.

Hootsuite vs Sprout Social: Which Social Media Management Tool Is The Best
——-> (Article Excerpt) The world of social media marketing is always evolving, and so are the techniques and clients that we use to manage all of our social media accounts. For many business owners and marketing agencies, managing your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other accounts individually just isn't an option, which is why services like HootSuite and Sprout Social are so incredibly helpful.
Hootsuite vs Sprout Social: Which Is Better To Monitor Social Media Campaigns
——-> (Article Excerpt) Being able to move tweets that you've responded to into the archive is an efficient way of managing Twitter & Facebook. The ability to see a track of the conversations with users and add notes is useful. Certainly for our business On Landscape we can marry this up with users on the site which makes it more of a social CRM in that aspect. Hootsuite doesn't alert you to when you have a RT nor a new follower, which is a key thing when building an audience and community. SproutSocial does both, which is a great feature.

An impressive line-up of 56 travel retail industry executives will be participating in the 'Miles for Smiles' fun run in Dubai on 22 November to raise funds for cleft charity The Smile Train.
The effort has already raised US$25,000 in August.
It costs just US$250 to fund the life-changing 45-minute operation that transforms a child's life in developing countries.
The Moodie Report, the leading travel retail online publication is an active campaigner since 2006.
Last year, together with Hugo Boss, they have successfully organised a travel retail industry fund-raising dinner in Hong Kong which raised over US$350,000.
Since then, the industry has continued to embrace the cause via a series of initiatives around the world. DFS Group, the sector's leading retailer, is currently mounting a multi-location, multi-category promotion on behalf of The Smile Train.
Bacardi is donating significant proceeds from its US$200,000 Bombay Sapphire Revelation decanter (only five available) to the cause.
Publisher Martin Moodie explained, "I like The Smile Train for its transparency, the direct link between donation and deed, its focus on underprivileged children in emerging countries, and the incredible difference its funding makes to the lives of thousands of children and their families."
"I also like the way The Smile Train focuses on developing retained medical knowledge in the countries in which it operates - rather than sending in 'flying doctors' who are not around for any after care that may be required."
Many cleft children are abandoned in impoverished countries.
The Smile Train is dedicated to helping millions of children in the world with cleft lips and palates by providing free surgery, free training for doctors and research to find a cure.
The charity has supported hundreds of cleft treatments, training and research programmes in more than 64 countries.
