Knight foundation summer Institute
Terry Newirth, Haverford College
Chromatography is a technique commonly used to separate mixtures of compounds into their constituent components. Separation is always based on some physical characteristic of the compounds, like size or polarity. Techniques like this are used to analyze bodily fluids for drugs, e.g. for Olympic athletes. It is also used to determine the compounds that give characteristic flavors to food, so the food industry can determine how to add flavor compounds artificially.
In this lab we will separate artificial food dyes. The separation is based on polarity. These dyes are all polar, so they will be soluble in water. We absorb them onto paper, which is also polar. Then we use water, with a little salt, to move the dyes on the paper. Since some of the dyes are more polar than others, they are absorbed more tightly to the paper and are moved more slowly by the salt water.
To learn how mixtures of compounds can be separated, and to learn what food dyes are in the foods we eat.
|FD&C Food Dyes*
|150 ml beakers or wide-mouthed jars
|Commercial Vegetable Colors
|plastic wrap
|M & M's
|Kool Aid
|round toothpicks
|0.1% NaCl solution
|chromatography paper or blotter paper
|small stapler
Preparation Before Class:
Purchase the five FD&C food dyes: Blue 1, Blue 2, Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6. These should be made into 0.5% solutions in water by dissolving 0.25 g of each dye in 50 ml of water. Probably 10 ml will be much more than you need. To make 10mL of dye solution requires the amount of dry dye approximately equal to the size of a small pea. Store in a screw top vial or bottle if possible.
You can purchase the dyes from:
Rainbow Colors,
286 Baxter St. Tolland,
For 500 ml of 0.1% NaCl solution dissolve 0.5 g NaCl in 500 ml of water.
For Chromatography paper you may purchase blotter paper from Staples Office Supply store or any other office supply store. That works just as well as real chromatography paper. The blotter paper should be white and cut into rectangles of about 5" x 3". This size will fit in the 150 ml beakers. If you have taller beakers, you can adjust the size of the paper so the paper folded into a cylinder (see below) will fit the beaker or wide-mouthed jar.
This project is easy enough that students could work alone or in groups of two or three.
By comparing the spots on the commercial items with the spots of the FD&C food dyes, it is possible to determine which dyes are used in which foods.
One can see that some of the vegetable colors are pure dyes (Blue and Yellow); green is not surprisingly blue and yellow. If one looks very carefully at the red vegetable dye, you can see that it is a mixture of red 40 and red 3. It is fun to look at all the colors in the brown M& Ms. Try it.
The students could hand in a report with the results from your chromatography investigation.
Students might want to explore different solvents or liquids in the beaker. Why do we use 0.1% salt water? Would regular water work just as well? Would rubbing alcohol work? These are questions the students can answer through experimentation.
Philadelphia Science Content Standards:
This experiment fulfills Benchmark 1 for grades 5-8 which states that students should "design modify, and conduct an investigation through testing, revising and occasionally discarding ideas, all of which lead to a better understanding of how things work." It also satisfies Benchmark 3, which states that students should "collect and summarize date from an experiment and interpret the results in terms of the data."
Cross References:
This lesson is related to Fall Colors, which also looks at separation of pigments, using chromatography.

The Vampire Diaries
What Did Ian Somerhalder Get Nina Dobrev for Her Birthday?
Back on January 9, The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert) celebrated her 23rd birthday. The Bulgarian beauty served up a gourmet meal for her friends and cast members, but what did her co-star and rumored boyfriend Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) get her to mark the occasion? A $1,000 chair.
TV Guide reports that the expensive gift is ultra fancy, and Nina told them, "I kept stealing his, so he got me one." Ulterior motives! "We live in them," Ian said of the studio chairs, which swivel and have pockets, a table, and cup holders.
The cast is on the TVD set so much, it only makes sense to get something comfy, but for $1,000, we'd expect it to do more tricks than just spin around.

The 2001 attacks carved a deep gash into Lower Manhattan, and scarred the minds of New Yorkers with memories of the collapsing Twin Towers that left 2,753 people dead. Ten years later, the nation can count two wars and a sprawling national security apparatus as a part of the legacy of that bright autumn day.
Less obvious in the calculus of the 'post 9/11' world that emerged is the 700-mile fence on the U.S.-Mexico border, the unmanned drones that cruise into Mexico on the hunt for drug traffickers, an unprecedented level of immigrant deportations and one baggy pant wearing baby-faced Mexican kid known as 'Puebla'—New York state's first and only convicted terrorist.

Aromatics Markets Choppy
11:27 AM MDT | October 28, 2010 | Lindsey Bewley
Aromatics in North America were still focused on spot transactions that were described as choppy. Benzene on the U.S. Gulf saw buyers reduce bids by 5 cts/gal, but with no response from sellers. Spot styrene slid just 2 cts/lb off the recent peak. In Europe there was just as much uncertainty, and even more volatility. Benzene gave up $50/m.t. while styrene surrendered $40/m.t. But spot toluene held to a decrease of $25/m.t. in a narrowing trading range, players say. Mixed xylene held level, with sellers telling of strong isomer demand into fiber...

Boris -- Philadelphia, PA -- August 4th, 2010
I dont think ive been to many shows where every band was fucking amazing, and oh were they all fucking amazing.
The show was Disappearer who is a stoner/sludgeish band outta boston who killed it, Russian circles who also killed it, and the almighty BORIS!
So heres my story:
Im from NJ and my brother lives in philly so i like to go down there and check out shows there instead of say, NYC. so i missed my first train down and had to catch another one, which stopped in trenton for a transfer to go to philly. with just my luck i had to wait 45 minutes for that fucking transfer! got into the city and my brother picked me up and we went straight to the starlight ballroom. Waited in line for doors to open at 7:30 and my brother left because he had a show to play, and unfortunately for him didnt come back untill boris's 3rd song. this was my first show on my own, and i thought it was pretty cool. i didnt have to wait for anyone to do their bullshit, and could do whatever the fuck i wanted without congregating with my friends. so i got a nice spot over at a table on the side to watch disappearer and russian circles. the sound was amazing over there, and i could enjoy a show without some motherfucker trying to talk to me the whole time. Both the bands were amazing, but unfortunately i didnt know any song names so i dont have a set for either. After russian circles the mighty boris came on, and i promptly got a spot in the crowd front row center,and was ready for my eardrums to be destroyed. Boris fucking killed it. definately one of the most amazing shows ive ever been to.
Boris played:
1. Farewell
2. Rainbow
3. 8
4. Luna
5. Statement
6. Floorshaker
7. a bao a qu
8. 16:47:52
9. Akirame Flower
11. Korosu
12. 1970
13. Untitled (last track of smile)
as has been going on recently, michio kurihara played the entire set with them and just put it over the top. After the show i went to the merch booth got a pink boris shirt that says farewell on the front, and BORISPINK on the lower back. i also got the new Boris/Ian Astbury (from The Cult) collaboration called BXI which is awesome.
also if anyone is interested here is the gear they used
Two Sunn Model Ts w/ two unkown brand cabs
an Original Ampeg Svt and a new Ampeg SVT II out of an Ampeg 8 x 10
a double neck First act half bass/ half guitar
A gibson les paul custom
An Orange Rockverb 100 full stack
and a Sunn 1200s through a smiley face era sunn 4x12 (i think)
Michio Kurihara:
A knock of gibson sg which was AWESOME!
2 reissue blackface fender twin reverb combo amps
Disappearer 9/10
Russian Circles 8/10

10 days and counting until the Reid Report show goes on air!
Hi Joy – I'm a fan! I purposely look for your commnts on all the MSNBC shows but I especially like your interactions with Chirs Matthews ( who seems to really like & respect you). YOU are very, very informed and thought provoking- I like that!! I love listening to you and your perspectives . I'm gona tune in to your show -I have a sugestion. MSNBC keeps us very informed of what's happening in politics, BUT-they never give us direction on what to do – of ow to answer the call – of who to call- how to actually do something and get involved to foster change. Please give us that "Here's what you can do NOW" step in your show format. God bless- break a leg!

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5, 2005 The Army's new noncommissioned officer of the year credits a strong commitment to training and the warrior ethos with developing him as an effective leader.
Sgt. Jeremy Kamphuis was named the Army's top NCO Oct. 3 at the Association of the U.S. Army's annual meeting here.
Kamphuis, a squad leader with the 127th Military Police Company based in Hanau, Germany, represented U.S. Army Europe in the NCO-of-the-Year competition. To earn the title, the 23-year-old native of Grand Rapids, Mich., beat out the top NCOs from the Army's nine other major commands.
Sgt. Chad Steuck, who serves with the 10th Mountain Division's 4th Brigade at Fort Polk, La., earned Soldier of the Year honors. The newly promoted Steuck represented U.S. Forces Command in the competition.
Speaking to the American Forces Press Service during the AUSA meeting, Kamphuis said his deployment to Iraq underscored the lessons in leadership he's gathered during his five-year Army career.
Kamphuis joined the Army Reserve in 2000, and then went on active duty in 2003 because he said he wanted to concentrate on his military training fulltime.
Just back from Iraq in April, Kamphuis said the experience reaffirmed the importance of "giving 100 percent" training until the skills used become almost instinctive.
"When it comes to combat, you fall back on your training," he said. "Then, when the hard times come around, you don't have time to be scared. You just fall back on what you're trained to do."
That's what happened to Kamphuis' unit during a particularly memorable firefight at an Iraqi police station in Baghdad. The MPs helped defend the station and took no casualties in the process.
Kamphuis said his deployment also reaffirmed his belief in "leading from the front."
"I don't expect my soldiers to do anything I wouldn't do," he said.
To young soldiers aspiring to be strong leaders, Kamphuis offered a simple formula for success. "Live by the warrior ethos," he said.
That ethos, which the Army teaches all soldiers at all levels, has four basic tenants:
Following those tenets, Kamphuis said, "is a sure-fire way of becoming a great leader."

This is the Umbrella Project Page for HuntingdonshireEngland.
- Administrative centre Huntingdon
- County Flower - Water-violet
- People from Huntingdonshire are called - ?
Huntingdonshire (abbreviated Hunts.) is an historic county of England covering the area around Huntingdon, St Ives, Godmanchester, St Neots, and Ramsey. Huntingdonshire lies between Northamptonshire to the Northwest & North, Bedfordshire to the Southwest and Cambridgeshire to the East. It is a small shire. After Rutland it is the smallest county in England. It is also a very flat county. The northern part is dominated by the fens, which are in places below sea level. The south has low, green hills.
Between 1889 and 1965 it formed an administrative county. Since 1974 it has been administered as a non-metropolitan district within the non-metropolitan county of Cambridgeshire.
Huntingdonshire is currently a "district" as far as local government boundaries are concerned but in the minds of everyone who lives there it is still a county.
Huntingdonshire is largely a rural county. The soil of the fens in the north was once under water. Now it provides some of the best growing soil in the land. The old county council's motto is very appropriate: "Labore Omnia Florent". Without the work of drainage engineers the fields of much of Huntingdonshire would be an inland sea (looking much as it does whenever the Great Ouse floods).

Singapore banks likely safe from euro zone crisis
Singapore's lenders are not heavily exposed to the European banking system and will not suffer much collateral damage if the continent's debt crisis worsens.
The assurance came from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) yesterday in response to queries from The Straits Times about the risks facing local banks.
It noted that euro zone banks in Singapore account for less than 10 per cent of the total loans to residents in Singapore who are non-bank borrowers. 'The MAS has been closely monitoring developments in the global financial markets. Our local banks' exposures to European banks are not material.'
The debt crisis has the potential to spiral out of control in Europe. Many of its banks hold significant amounts of euro zone sovereign debt on their books. -By Yasmine Yahya

A new doc: Entourage's Constance Zimmer has been cast as Dr. Cahill, "a confident, self-possessed and laser-focused professional with a wicked sense of humor" who will appear in Episode 12-16. We know she has at least one scene with Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw), and also appears in a big group scene.
A ... voice? There has also been a casting call for a male doctor in his late 40s who will appear in a three episode arc ... but we'll only hear his voice. Weird, right?

Very comfortable Candlewood Suite and staff was helpful, even amid all the busyness
Great service and a sound nights sleep
July 11, 2015
All the staff were very friendly but the desk staff went that extra mile to help, the hotel was very clean inside and out and the car parking good, it has a large supermarket a very short walk away. The outside sitting area was small but was a nice quiet place to sit and relax, the rooms are large and well appointed and kept clean. My last stay was for three months and I wouldn't hesitate to return to the same hotel.
Comfortable and big

Miley Cyrus Leads Call For Black Emoji Characters
Like Us On Facebook
Like Us On Facebook
Emojis have taken on a huge role in modern texting, but have recently been accused of being stuck in the pre-integration era. This injustice was recently highlighted by 20-year-old pop-star-turned-civil-rights-activist Miley Cyrus, who makes the point that although there are currently emojis for various ethnicities, none exist for black people.
This began when Sephora's official Twitter account called for more colors of the nail painting emoji, which is currently only available in pink.
Miley, a follower of the Sephora brand twitter account, saw the tweet and used it as an opportunity to call out a more gaping omission.

Massachusetts Judge Sues the Boston Herald for Article and a Reporter's Remarks
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
TERENCE SMITH: The unusual case involves Massachusetts Superior Court Judge Ernest Murphy, who is suing the Boston Herald and four of its reporters for defamation and libel.
Under the headline "Murphy's Law: Lenient Judge Frees Dangerous Criminals," the paper described how Judge Murphy had sentenced an 18-year-old man to probation for the statutory rape of a 14-year-old girl.
The paper also has reported that the judge said to the prosecutors of the victim, "Tell her to get over it."
Discussing the case later on the O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, Herald reporter Dave Wedge had this exchange with host Bill O'Reilly.
O'Reilly: "Are you absolutely, 100 percent sure that Judge Murphy said that the rape victim should 'Get over it'?" Wedge replied, "Yes, he said this – He made this comment to three lawyers. He knows he said it, and everybody else knows that he said it."
Judge Murphy flatly denies that he made such a statement. His suit against the Herald comes to trial next month.
TERENCE SMITH: Joining me now are Alicia Mundy, Washington correspondent for the Seattle Times, who recently wrote about the case in the Washington Post; and Alex Jones, director of the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University. Welcome to you both.
Alicia, the libel suits are not uncommon, of course. But this is very unusual. Why?
ALICIA MUNDY: Well, first of all, we have a judge who is suing for libel based on a story that is based on what he said as a judge officially. That makes it very unusual.
But more importantly and perhaps more interestingly is that the judge is bolstering or attempting to bolster his case against the Herald by bringing in tape of what one of the Herald reporters said on TV, specifically on The O'Reilly Factor, to try and prove that the reporter not only made mistakes, but that he actually committed malice against the judge.
TERENCE SMITH: And that's a key, is it not, Alex Jones, to proving libel against a public official? There's quite a high bar, is there not?
ALEX JONES: There is. And the Supreme Court created this mechanism sometime back that created the opportunity for journalists to be able to be mistaken, provided they are not mistaken recklessly or intentionally.
And so that's why public figures and public officials so rarely bring libel suits, because they have to get over that hurdle. It's not simply a matter of whether there's defamation. It has to be either false or knowingly false or done with reckless disregard for whether it is false.
TERENCE SMITH: All right. Alicia, take us back a little in this case. There was not one but I guess a total of 17 articles in the Boston Herald and columns that dealt with this issue.
ALICIA MUNDY: Yes. It began in February of 2002.
Prosecutors in New Bedford, which is near Boston, had been complaining about Judge Murphy because they felt he was letting too many accused criminals out on bail too easily. And then Judge Murphy had a case in which he sentenced the rapist for having statutory… for statutory rape with a 14-year-old girl who had been hanging out with him. And the prosecutors were very, very upset about this. And shortly thereafter there appeared the first story in the Boston Herald, "Murphy's Law," and it said that the judge had said to one of the prosecutors, "tell her to get over it."
Later there were follow-up stories that said that the young girl had tearfully take the witness stand and read her statement and it was a heart-wrenching scene.
And the stories continued about this judge and his callous remark, its impact on the victim, her mother and basically it built up into quite a drumbeat of stories.
TERENCE SMITH: And yet, when the suit was filed and depositions were taken, a different story emerged. Not only did the judge deny flatly that he said anything like, "Tell her to get over it," but a deputy prosecutor and others said that, too.
ALICIA MUNDY: Well, in the depositions, what came out is that the reporter had initially thought he had three sources, or I believe said he had three sources in his deposition, but as it turns out, two of those sources had not been present when the judge had said anything, and only one of them in his deposition said that he told the reporter a different story, that he had told the reporter the judge said something different, something that might be considered benign. "She's 14. She can't go through life as a victim. She's got to get over it."
TERENCE SMITH: So more solicitous than dismissive.
ALICIA MUNDY: Quite different.
TERENCE SMITH: Alex Jones, it's very frequent these days for reporters to go on television and talk about stories. Does this take them into different and uncharted waters?
ALEX JONES: Well, it takes themselves into a different place than we have been traditionally, but I think that this is sort of the product of the world we're in now, with cable news especially.
Now it is frequently the case that the reporting in journalism is done by print reporters and they are frequently now being invited to go on cable news shows like The O'Reilly Factor and others. And the environment of television, as you know, especially cable television, is action; it's got to be action.
So they're being pushed to say as much as they can be pushed to say and sometimes you can get caught up in the heat of a situation and misspeak. I mean, that happens. When you are in an environment that involves a libel suit, it compounds the danger. I don't think that this is going to mean that journalists are not going to do it.
But certainly if this journalist is trying to argue that because he said something on The O'Reilly Factor that might prove to be damaging to him in his libel suit, then he should not be held accountable for that. That's ridiculous. Of course, if you go on television and speak about a case or an article which you've done, then that's germane.
Especially in the case of a lawsuit that's being brought this way, when malice, when the mindset and the attitude and the belief system of the reporter is very important to whether or not the judge will be successful in bringing this suit, they're going to be able to go into the head of the reporter and anything that sheds light on what the reporter's attitude is, including what they might say on television, that could be damaging.
I think that the larger point, though, is that when you get on these shows, a lot of times journalists will go well beyond what they would do when they are doing their journalism for their news organization. Those things have to be verified.
When you get on television, you're sort of talking, you're shooting your mouth off, you're encouraged to, you're put under pressure to do that in some ways. And so sometimes you can go well beyond. You can start asserting, and that can be interpreted by people listening as factual, or at least your claim that that's the facts, when in fact it's not backed up by the kind of reporting and verification that you would insist upon for your original piece of reporting in the news organization that, you know, you've done the story for.
TERENCE SMITH: Alicia Mundy, the judge maintains in his complaint that his health suffered, that he and his family received death threats as a result of all this publicity, that there was real damage to him. So what is he seeking from the Boston Herald?
ALICIA MUNDY: Well, he is seeking both damages, financial monetary damages, and he'd like a front page retraction from them. One of the prosecutors who had spoken against the judge in one of the stories complained he was too lenient, in his deposition said this went far, the reaction of the stories went far beyond what he had expected, that it was a frenzy. The judge received death threats. People sent him a wad of excrement wrapped up in toilet paper to his office. His daughters were mentioned in a chat room sponsored by the Herald newspaper after one of the columns ran in the Herald and people got on the Web site and said, "Why doesn't somebody go rape his daughters?", who were also teenagers. "Why doesn't somebody rape his daughters? Here's where he lives. He lives in this city in Boston."
TERENCE SMITH: So it got very brutal. What does the Herald say in its defense?
ALICIA MUNDY: The Herald is sticking by the stories, although it has come out in depositions that at least some of the statements printed as facts in the stories were not accurate.
For instance, the victim, the 14-year-old victim, actually never took the stand. So there was no heart-wrenching scene in court. She didn't tearfully read her statement. She said nothing in court.
TERENCE SMITH: So that goes to the mistake. But, Alex Jones, you say it has to go further than that, to malice and reckless disregard.
ALEX JONES: It does. I mean, basically what the law is calculated to do for people who are elected officials, people with power, is to say journalists can be wrong. But it does not want to give journalists a blank slate. And so what it builds in is "you could be wrong, but you can't be wrong to the extent that you don't care whether you're right or not."
If it should be proved in this case that the Herald had very ample reason to believe that their reporting was wrong or at least questionable and if they persisted in doing it in story after story after story after story, that is a different kind of attitude than simply making a mistake in a story about the judge.
I think that the judge's case is going to hinge on whether he can demonstrate that they knew or had reason to believe that this was false and persisted and persisted and persisted in reporting it. If that should be the case, then even this high standard of liability could be met and the newspaper could be found guilty.
TERENCE SMITH: And finally, very briefly, Alicia Mundy, this goes to trial. This goes to trial in January.
ALICIA MUNDY: January 19.
TERENCE SMITH: And that's before a judge or a jury?
ALICIA MUNDY: I believe the judge who is suing is asking for a jury because he feels that he can show what happened and show the depositions of the reporter and get a jury to look at this and feel for him.
TERENCE SMITH: Okay. Alicia Mundy, Alex Jones, thank you both very much.
ALEX JONES: You're welcome.

She went to Houston, where she ended up being arrested for theft, CBS News reported. Turner then gave the police a fake name, which belonged to a 22-year-old Colombian illegal immigrant and had warrants for her arrest.Turner was then deported by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), who took her fingerprints but never checked them before Turner left the country.Read more at GlobalPost: One of Colombia's top drug lords capturedHer family has been searching for her since her disappearance, even checking friends' Facebook pages for information about Turner's whereabouts. They managed to track her to Houston, where she worked at a club under a different name, although authorities wouldn't help them from there, they said, CNN reported.They soon learned that their teenage daughter, a US citizen who cannot speak Spanish, was in Colombia, working as a housemaid, the Daily Mail reported. A detective also learned that Turner had been partying and smoking marijuana and is now pregnant, CNN reported."There's no words," her mother, Johnisa Turner, told CNN of the ordeal. "It hasn't been easy at all."When Turner's location was found, US authorities asked Colombian police to pick her up at the embassy, but the South American country wouldn't release her and she is still being held in a detention facility, CBS News reported."ICE takes these allegations very seriously," said ICE Director of Public Affairs Brian Hale, CBS News reported. "At the direction of [the Department of Homeland Security], ICE is fully and immediately investigating this matter in order to expeditiously determine the facts of this case."The ICE said authorities believed Turner's story and she maintained her false identity throughout the process, CNN reported. When she was handed over to an immigration judge she was deported. The agency said the criminal database searches and biometric verification showed no information that made Turner's claims not true.Still the family attorney, Ray Jackson, says the ICE "dropped the ball," when not matching her fingerprints to the name she gave them.Read more at GlobalPost: Colombia's friendlier face to the world

by Richard Wolf, USA TODAY
The political fortunes of Barack Obama and
Mitt Romney could be determined today in little-known counties with
names like Loudoun, Lucas and Larimer.
After 17 months and more
than $2 billion spent crisscrossing the nation in search of votes, the
two presidential candidates, their staffs and an army of journalists and
political junkies will huddle tonight over county maps and precinct
reports to gauge the voters' verdict.
It won't be New York,
Chicago or Los Angeles that decides the election. Instead, swing
counties such as Virginia's Loudoun, Ohio's Lucas and Colorado's Larimer
will play outsized roles in picking the next president. (More on those
places below.)
Today, turnout among Democrats' and Republicans'
base voters will begin to tell the tale of the 2012 election. Turnout
was above 65% in 10 swing states in 2008 and 61.6% overall, slightly
higher than 2004.
Then the TV networks and other news
organizations will begin releasing the results of "exit polls" taken
outside polling places, which will shed light on the choices made by men
and women, whites and minorities, young and old, urban and rural. More
so than in the past, that information is likely to spill out on Twitter
and other social media outlets.

Syllabus | Assignments | Schedule | Links
Spring Semester, 2008
Why a class in physiology?!
Once you receive your degree in plants, for the rest of your life you will be asked questions about how plants work. In your professional work with plants -- whether you become a garden curator, golf course superintendent, nursery manager, landscape designer, horticultural writer -- knowing what makes plants tick will help you be better at your job.
For these reasons, we have developed a course in plant functioning, oriented to turf, the garden and the landscape.
348 Landscape Plant Physiology (2) Physiological principles as they relate to landscape design and contracting, turfgrass management, public horticulture: photosynthesis and transpiration, respiration, water and hormonal relations, mineral nutrition, plant development and response to the environment.
"Facts leaked out of her brain within days of being stuffed in, but she had excelled ... all her life because she always knew the most direct route to the information she required."
Knowing things is important. Equally important is knowing how to find information and find answers when faced with something we don't know. This class is about both.
You will learn many things about how plants work. We will also explore how to search for specific information in online and paper sources.

TICONDEROGA - The Festival of Trees, a holiday tradition in Ticonderoga, will again be held at the Hancock House.
The Ticonderoga Historical Society is looking for any community organizations, school groups, clubs or business to once again to participate in its annual Festival of Trees.
Groups are invited to decorate the Hancock House with a tree, centerpiece, gingerbread house, cookie tree or any other type of festive decorative art in a traditional theme.
Because of fire regulations participants can use only artificial materials.
The trees will be placed on display Nov. 27 through Jan. 1.
A champagne reception will be held Sunday, Dec. 12, 1-3 p.m.
For information call Robin Trudeau at the Hancock House at 585-7868 or contact Beth Iuliano at 585-7030.
Ticonderoga's Hancock House, earlier known as the Headquarters House, is a reproduction of the Colonial Mansion built in Boston from 1737-1740 and occupied by John Hancock, president of the Second Continental Congress and signer of the Declaration of Independence.
It serves as home to the Ticonderoga Historical Society.
The Headquarters House was erected in 1926 and presented to the New York State Historical Association by Horace A. Moses, a native son of Ticonderoga, to further the interest of the people of northeastern New York and the Lake Champlain and Lake George valleys in history and the fine arts.
According to the Hancock Museum literature, the house was constructed as a replica of the John Hancock home which stood on Beacon Street in Boston and which was demolished in 1863 to make room for a new wing of the State House.
John Hancock, a Revolutionary patriot, was a rich Boston merchant and his home was one of the finest of Colonial mansions.
Entering through the front door, one cannot help but notice the magnificent staircase that has three different designs of spindle used on each step, with intricately carved newel posts. A splendid specimen of Georgian architecture, this building was faithfully executed from the measured drawings made by John Sturgis before the original was destroyed, and it would be fireproof. The exterior, made with Weymouth granite, have survived well the atmospheric and weather conditions, which have lent a happy effect to the stones, causing color changes of greens, pinks and a warm gray.
The museum holds many cherished and priceless antique rarities for visitors to see. The first of these are the original paintings hanging on the walls. Portraits of New York governors were commissioned and executed for the City of Albany through the term of Charles Evans Hughes. Since Governor Hughes' days, the Herbert H. Lehman and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt portraits have been added through anonymous gifts to the association.
Artists are invited to show their art throughout the summer and give lectures in the Assembly Room.

GREENWICH, N.Y. (AP) - A 33-year-old man faces rape charges after state police say he had sex in a hotel with a child he met online and drove 145 miles north to meet in person.
The Albany Times Union reports that Matthew S. Berry of White Plains was arrested Friday. Troopers say he arranged to meet the youth near the child's Washington County home and drove the youth to a Lake George hotel.
Police declined to disclose the age or gender of the youth. They said Berry provided alcohol and paid the youth for having sex.
Berry was charged with third-degree rape and unlawfully dealing with a child. He was sent to Warren County Jail on $10,000 bail. Police didn't know if he has a lawyer.

$32,430 – $37,766 Invoice
14 / 20 MPG City/Hwy
Enter your information and a representative will contact you for this 2007 Chrysler 300C !
What's New
Chrysler's 300 sedan looks more like a luxury car than a standard-sized American sedan, and for 2007 it gets even more limo-like with a new stretched-wheelbase version that provides more than 46 inches of rear leg room (compared to 40.2 in the already comfortable standard version). Also new for the 2007 model year is the availability of such additional luxury-car features as adaptive cruise control that maintains a safe distance between your vehicle and the one ahead, SmartBeam headlamps, heated rear seats, an auto-dimming passenger-side rearview mirror, as well as turn signals and "puddle" lamps built into the exterior mirrors.
Chrysler re-launched the full-size, rear-wheel-driven, V-8-powered American sedan for 2005 in the form of the 300, and the car proved popular with a wide and diverse demographic base of consumers. With its Bentley-like exterior design (Chrysler calls the design "stunning" and "noble") the 300 appealed to seemingly everyone from senior citizens to tuners who quickly found ways to customize the car's appearance with various aftermarket accessories.
While the exterior styling continues for another model year, there are several new colors available, and the Chrysler 300 also becomes available in a new long-wheelbase version that puts 6 more inches between the front and rear axles, with most of that added length benefiting those sitting in the back seat with a lot more leg room. Those sitting in back also can have heated seats for even more limo-like comfort. The long-wheelbase version is available in the 300 Touring and 300C rear-wheel-drive models.
The standard Chrysler 300 comes with rear-wheel drive, a 190-hp, 2.7-liter V-6 engine and 4-speed automatic transmission, 17-inch wheels, air conditioning, a CD audio system, a power driver's seat, adjustable lumbar support for both front seats, power windows/locks, keyless entry, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and more. The 300 Touring is available with rear- or all-wheel drive, has a 250-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 engine and 5-speed automatic transmission, electronic stability control, traction control, fog lamps, and more. The 300C adds a 340-hp, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine, 18-inch wheels, a 276-watt Boston Acoustics audio system, dual exhaust, power-adjustable pedals, and more. Also available is the 300C SRT8, a high-performance version, with a 425-hp, 6.1-liter Hemi V-8 and enhanced suspension and other hardware, including 20-inch wheels.
The Competition
The Chrysler 300 competes in the Large Conventional segment, which consists of 14 models. Buyers in this segment look for performance, comfort, and exterior styling, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Avoider StudySM and the Escaped Shopper Study.SM
The top sellers in the segment during calendar year 2006, according to the J.D. Power and Associates Sales Report,SM were the Chevrolet Impala (289,868 units sold), Chrysler 300 (143,647), and Dodge Charger (114,201). The Chrysler 300's 143,647 sales in 2006 represent a decrease of 0.3 percent compared to the previous year. Other models offered in the Large Conventional segment include the Pontiac Grand Prix, Buick Lucerne, Toyota Avalon, Ford Five Hundred, and Nissan Maxima.

Getting a deal on a cell phone overseas
By Lucy
Lazarony Bankrate.com
Want the convenience of a cell phone on your next
overseas vacation?
Get ready to do some serious shopping. Most American
cell phones won't work overseas, so you'll probably need to buy
or rent a new phone for your trip.
The good news? You've got a ton of options.
The bad news? Figuring out the best deal for your
calling needs and your wallet is going to take some work. You have
six options:
Take your phone and
phone number
The first thing to determine is whether your current cell
phone will work overseas.
Do you have a multi-band GSM phone? GSM stands for
Global System for Mobile Communications, the standard technology
used by cell phone providers in more than 200 countries.
If you have a dual- or tri-band GSM phone you can
make calls using a GSM network in other parts of the world. You'll
be able to take your phone and your phone number with you on your
overseas trip.
U.S. carriers selling GSM world phones include T-Mobile,
AT&T, Cingular and Nextel. If you're using a multi-band GSM
phone in the U.S. you'll need to activate the phone so it works
on international frequency bands. Be sure to contact your carrier
before your trip.
"The upside is it's the simplest way to go and
you get to keep your phone number," says Scott McNeely, digital
publisher at Lonely Planet Publications. "The downside is it
can be kind of expensive, particularly if you're going to be on
the phone for more than a couple of minutes at a time."
As handy as it may be to take your cell phone overseas,
you'll get slapped with some serious international roaming charges.
You'll pay $1 to $2 per minute for any call you make or receive
in Europe. And calling rates are even higher in other parts of the
world. Some carriers charge activation and other fees for worldwide
service. Be sure to check.
Take your number, buy or
rent a phone
Another way to keep your cell phone number when you travel is to
remove the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card from your phone
and place it in a handset that operates on international frequencies.
The SIM card, which is about the size of a thumbnail, stores your
personal information, including your phone number and address book.
Call your carrier to make sure your SIM card is able to work overseas.
The downside to bringing your SIM card overseas is
the cost. You'll be zapped with hefty international roaming charges
and other fees. For example, AT&T charges $25 for a SIM card
programmed with a customer's personal information and $7.99 monthly
fee for its WorldConnect service.
You'll also need to buy or rent a GSM phone that works
Rent a phone
Rental fees on overseas phones vary widely. You'll pay about $7
or $8 per day and $30 to $50 per week. Monthly rates are anywhere
from $50 to $150 per month.
You'll want to shop carefully. Per-minute calling
rates vary widely. Some cell phone rental companies charge shipping
fees of $15 to $35. Others charge $2.50 fee for itemized billing.
Companies that rent wireless phones to global travelers
include InTouch
USA, Planetfone,
Abroad and Telestial.
Some rental car companies will toss in a "free"
cell phone rental with your European car rental. They include Avis,
Eurodrive and Europe
by Car.
You may not have to pay a daily or weekly rental rate
for the phone but you'll still have to pay for any calls you make
and receive. Be sure to ask about per-minute rates. That "free"
phone could be saddled with a lousy per-minute rate.
You'll also want to watch out for fees. Europe by
Car charges a $40 delivery-and-collection fee on its "free"
cell phone rentals. Avis charges a $25 delivery-and-collection fee
plus a rental fee of $5 a day if you keep a cell phone more than
seven days.
"One way or another, the phone isn't free,"
says Ed Perkins, a nationally syndicated travel columnist and consumer
Buy a phone
If you're going for a long vacation or you make frequent trips abroad,
you may be better off buying a phone that works in your destination
For example, Nextel customers have the option
of renting a phone through Cellhire for $8 per day or $99 per month
or buying a P280 phone, which is designed to work on the specific
GSM network used in 90 countries. The P280 phone has a price of
just $49.99. It requires a one-year or two-year contract and comes
with a $35 set-up fee.

Jun 07, 2006
Yesterday, being the hormonal wreck that I've been lately, I tell Mr. Flinger how LB has been really *really* grating my nerves. The jar of spinach she threw at the grocery store was not only the last straw, it got all over my new, white skirt (note to the Internet: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT BUY WHITE WITH A TODDLER). It's hard to look smart and sophisticated with green goo running between your legs while your boobs pop out of your stylish shirt when you bend down to shove your squirmy child back into the mammoth truck stroller thingie as she flings her head back yelling, "Moorreee!!! MOOORRREEEE!!!"
Damnit child, I'll show you more…
See, I understand "Love you forever" now. I used to cry out of terror because can you imagine driving to your kids house to pick him up and rock him? Can you imagine crawling in to his room and wanting to hold the man with the life and the car and the money? Can you imagine wanting to hold your teenage kid, all piercing and tattoos and hair goo who hasn't bathed in two weeks? But I understand now. I thought I knew when I was pregnant what it would be like, but I had no clue. Now? I could write that book complete with toilet paper races in the potty and green goo dripping from my knees in Albertsons.
Motherhood is this club that nobody can ever really tell you about. Oh, sure, you're pregnant and you hear "sleep while you can" and "your life will never be the same." Sure you see babies and think, "Ahhhh, how cute!" and "Can I hold him?" Then they fart/poop/puke all the while screaming and you hand them back and go home and want your own because even if you still smell like vomit-filled-crap, it's kinda cute, right?
Not at 3AM.
But then this thing that only craps and keeps you awake goes to sleep. And as we all know, "There is no better behaved child then the sleeping child." Angelic, really. And you stand over the crib as the tears splash on the new hands and new cheeks and new feet and you can not believe, there's just no way, you made that.
That baby turns into a toddler. You fall more in love. She does things, she spits, or hits, and it's your job to teach her it's not ok to spit or hit unless your spitting when you brush your teeth or hitting a ball with a bat. You are The Authority. You are The Comfort. You are IT. She exclaims, mouth wide open, "MOMMY! MOMMY!" when she sees you come down the stairs and you melt, just a little more than a little bit, and swoop her up and forget all about the streak of poop you just cleaned off the capert… again. You forget all about the thousand cups of yogurt you cleaned splattered all over the fridge and pantry door. You forget.
So you end up crying to your husband, literally tears streaming down your face, royally pissed off about the spinach/grocery store episode until you remember something she learned that day and you begin to laugh through your tears, crying even harder saying, "she's just the best. I want to be home with her. She's just the best. Please don't make me leave her. She's just the best."
To which your husband replies, "I think I underestimate the emotional work being a mom is. It's not just physically hard to chase a toddler butemotionally draining, too."
Internet, he got it. Amen, he got it. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Awww… My dh needs to read that. He totally forgets how emotionally draining it is being around little ones all day.
By lanna on 2006 06 07
Amen, Mr. Flinger! My DH gets it too-which is good….better to be united than to be outnumbered by the TODDLER.
By Amy on 2006 06 07
Well said, Amy!

Awesome for Mr. Flinger!
Tonight I found myself yelling "GET YOUR FEET OFF THE KITCHEN TABLE" more times than I care to remember.

Don't you love it when they 'get it', if only for a moment?
By Renee on 2006 06 07
Exactly, Renee. I'm sure I'll need to be pointed to this post in another few days and reminded he did "get it".

Oh no…LOL…it was the 4-YEAR-OLD who decided to act like the spawn of Satan this evening. Overheated/overtired = not good

My mom didnt last long going back to work after my older brother was born. She just couldnt stand the idea of him in daycare. Im keeping my fingers crossed that when my time comes and then my maternity leave is up, that my mom or MIL will be willing to watch them. I think that is the only way Ill be able to be ok with going back to work.

That is sad about your WHITE skirt!! I hope it's bleachable, so you can get the spinach out. It is crazy how kids can drive you insane, but you can still love them and find them precious. There is something about your OWN kids that can do that. I can remember back to my babysitting days that I (figuratively speaking) wanted to kill my bratty cousins and never see them again EVER, but it's never been that way with my own kids. Do I need time away from them DEFINATELY, but and hour or so and I want to see them again.

i hate to say this, but he only thinks he gets it. Which is a great big thing but really, these men will never ever GET IT. I think that is the main difference between us and them. oh, that and the penis.

one word for Mr. Flinger, WOW!
Sorry to hear your skirt. If the green come out, save it for when we go out this summer I will try not to spill martini on it.
