Developer and architect Hodgetts+Fung share ideas about Los Angeles' iconic Norms site
Tuesday, March 10, 2015
Sam Lubell.
In January AN reported that developer Jason Illouilian (who owns development company Faring Capital) had bought legendary Los Angeles diner Norms, and was considering what to do next with the property. Last week LA Magazine reported that Illouilian plans to build "a community of shops" where the Armet & Davis-designed restaurant's parking lot now stands.
Hof's Hut, another famed California mid-century diner, in trouble after back-to-back fires

Sam Lubell.
While it appears that Los Angeles' famed Norms restaurant is safe, at least for the moment, another local dining landmark is in trouble: Hof's Hut, in Long Beach, which recently suffered "significant damage" due to multiple fires, according to the LA Times.
Another of Los Angeles' Famed Googie Diners, Pepy's Galley, Closes For Good
Tuesday, July 1, 2014
Russell Fortmeyer.
Long-time Mar Vista Lanes diner, Pepy's Galley, an iconic, authentically Googie-style restaurant, closed its doors forever on Monday. By most accounts, the interior will be a total loss, as the building's new owner, BowlmorAMF, intends to convert Pepy's into a catering space for the adjacent bowling alley. The Mar Vista Lanes complex was designed by famed architects Armet & Davis, a seminal Los Angeles firm also known for Pann's and the original Norm's restaurant.

Gaming Events for June 19th and 20thNews 1 comment
We try out the newly updated Orion and Ragnarok Arena
Join the Social Modding Club where we plan events to play some of the great mods of our time, both old and new. The goal of this group is to allow members to easily plan and schedule events for gamers to play together. Moddb.com and Desura allow anyone to easily find, download, install, and update mods. This is the perfect place to setup a group with a forum that pulls gamers together so we can all enjoy the fruits of everyone's labor. My hope is that this will allow gamers to experience some of the amazing online mods that don't always have a large user base. I plan to have regularly scheduled events to keep this group active and a forum that will support users posting their own events or requests for gaming. Please join the group and enjoy the pleasures of playing mods with friends!
We try out the newly updated Orion and Ragnarok Arena
Join us this weekend for some GoldenEye: Source and SourceForts action.
We are playing Frontlines R3LO4D and Forgotten Hope 2 this weekend.
This weekend we are playing NeoTokyo and Age of Chivalry
This weekend we will be playing Alien Arena and Hidden Source.

Good to see this group is doing so well Dolby ! Eventually I've got to jump in on some of this. Kudos !
Hello Everyone,
I sincerely apologize but I am going to have to skip this weekend's events and do not have any other excuse other than I am busy as hell :(
This is the first time since the start of this group that I am skipping an event besides 2 weeks ago when I was in Vegas (which is excusable). So again I apologize and will try to line up a couple events for the next few weeks to avoid this going forward :)
Hello All,
I apologize but I will be going on a very long vacation (vegas and florida) so I will not be posting any events for this weekend. I may post some events next weekend if I get time during my break in Florida. Have a great couple weeks and things will return to normal in a couple weekends, assuming I make it back alive from my buddies bachelor party in Vegas :)
Write about Fistfull of Frags, best dead mod, ever
Yay! Unfortunately there are only a few high quality mods/indies out there out of the hundreds of concepts, so eventually the club may have to recycle the good ones or bravely walk through the random bug-ridden poor gameplay mirey gamble that is mods.
Great group idea!
Welcome new members!
Thanks for joining the group and please feel free to spread the word.
Also check the forums and track boards of your favorite mods so you know when someone posts a gaming request or plans a gaming session. I am going to start posting in there as well to get some gaming sessions organized hopefully. For the official events I plan to switch to a more spread out weekly event style so there are more opportunities for everyone to join at least one. I will try out the new style next week and will post an event for this weekend as well.
I'm always looking for new/old online mods that are really fun but not necessarily heavily played. There are tons so if you have any suggestions feel free to post them in the forum.
Finally if anyone is a developer and wants to work with me to plan an official event around a new update or release, please PM me and I will gladly assist in any way possible. I think as this group grows more that will become a more desirable proposition for both :)
Sorry group I apologize I am still learning the timing of the approval process here at moddb.com. I'm sure they are super busy with getting Desura up and running and the Top 100 contest. So I need to remember to post my event articles well in advance of the event day.
I posted an article late last night for some events this weekend and they are still in the approval process and will probably be showing later tonight. I will learn from my mistake and begin posting my event articles at least 2 days in advance :)
Actually a really cool group idea, but this is exactly what I've been doing for the past few years using xfire!
Yeah I figure since Desura allows gamers to download, install, update and talk about mods then this would be the perfect place to host events for people to play some good old mods and some new ones too.
I used to use Xfire along time ago just for its general uses but I'm glad that is working out for you. If you ever feel like dropping in any of our events or joining the group, please feel free :)

Your ideal destination for traditional Georgian dining in London, Tamada serves unique, eclectic cuisine in the very pleasant surroundings of St. John's Wood in North-West London.

Georgian cuisine is perfect for more adventurous diners, who are tired of eating in the same Thai, Indian, Chinese and Italian restaurants on every corner, and instead seek a new gastronomic experience. Georgian cuisine is very specific to the country, but also features some influences from Middle Eastern and European culinary traditions.

As each historical province of Georgia has its own distinct dining customs, Tamada's menu offers a variety of dishes with a high amount of various herbs and spices to enrich the flavour. In addition to the range of meat dishes such as Chaqapuli (Spicy Lamb Casserole flavoured with wine and plum sauce), Mscvadi Shashlik (Charcoal Grilled and Marinated Pork with plum sauce and potatoes) and Chakhohbili (Chicken braised in tomato and wine sauce with herbs, served with 'shoti puri'), Tamada also offers a selection of vegetarian meals.

To accompany your meal, the knowledgable staff can also recommend a wine from Georgia, the oldest wine producing region in the world.

Delicious Georgian food! Went there with my wife and tried a lot of different dishes and Georgian wine with it. Really great food and the server was very nice and attentive. Will go back to try more dishes for sure.more
Unfortunately, Tamada missed the mark for me and my husband. When comparing to another Georgian restaurant in Notting Hill, Colchis (now closed, gasp!), Tamada doesn't compare to the food once served at Colchis. Additionally, we both felt that for the location, Tamada's prices were too high.
-Cheese filled bread (Khachapuri) - I have to admit that when I read a prior review which stated...more
Tamada - Delicious Georgian food, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful neighbourhood restaurant.
First of all, I find it irritating how one-sided Yelp filters the reviews for this little restaurant. Almost all good reviews are considered "not recommended" for reasons that are beyond me. I think, Tamada definitely deserves a higher score than 2.5 - it might not necessarily...more
I need to congratulate Tamada for making Georgian food and wine live up to its high reputation of being one of the best in the world.
The four starters and mains I had a chance to try ( no I don't have four stomachs - it was shared between a group of five ;) ) were served in hot clay bowls and plates making it even more authentic.
The Meze had an original taste and unusual ingredients. All...more
I must be honest - I have never been to Georgia so cannot comment really how authentic the food is. It has some classical dishes from the area - great stews and some dumplings...etc. food is quite good - especially the stews but it is also not too cheap... The interior is also not very extensive - it feels like a local venue with minimum frills. I think I would try once to see it yourself...more

This institution was established in 1887, and from the first session to the present has been a success. The work done here by the Principal, Rev. J. A. Campbell, is of lasting worth to the County and State. In December, 1900, the building was destroyed by fire, but the Principal did not permit himself and the work he had started to be swept away by one fire, but began at once, on the charred ruins of the old building, the erection of the present magnificent brick building, which was ready for use November, 1903.
Fifty-seven years ago (1855) the people of Harnett proposed to set up housekeeping on their own account. In fine accord with their patriotism, the new county received the name of a distinguished Revolutionary patriot (Cornelius Harnett) whose home was on the lower waters of the Cape Fear; while the capital of Harnett perpetuates the memory of a grand soldier (General Alexander Lillington) in the war of the Revolution. But although formed into a separate county, Harnett county had no separate representation in the General Assembly until 1858, continuing to vote with Cumberland until that time. Since admitted to representation, Harnett has sent to the House and to the Senate representatives of sterling worth, reflecting credit on their constituents and contributing by their actions in the Assembly to the welfare and prosperity of the people of the whole State.
The County embraces about six hundred and forty-five square miles, and bounded as follows: On the north by Wake; east by Johnston; south by Cumberland and Sampson, and west by Moore and Lee. It is divided into thirteen townships, with sixty-seven miles of railroads, practically tounching every township. The taxable valuation of property has increased in ten years from one million to about eight million dollars. The climate is mild and well adapted to the growth of various crops; free from miasma, which makes it a noted county for the health and longevity of its citizens. The western section is rapidly being developed and fruit growing becoming one of the chief industries.
Second Thursday, Friday and Saturday in July and October.

(J. H. Williams resigned in 1904 and succeeded by S. H. Stephenson.)
(S. H. Stephenson died in 1905 and was succeeded by W. H. Stephenson.)1905-1906.
The Board as now constituted remained unchanged till July 5, 1909, at which time the present Board began their administration.
To the People of Harnett County:
Feeling that it is a duty we owe to the public to give an account of the progress of public education in the County, and believing that the patrons of the public schools, the school officers and the friends of education will be pleased to receive this information, and a better knowledge of what our schools are doing will tend to create more interest in them, we respectfully submit this report to you, trusting that the work done and the results of the same may meet with your approval.
Very truly yours,
County Superintendent of Schools.
Dunn, N. C., June 30, 1912.
To the Board of Education:
I herewith respectfully submit this report of the public schools of Harnett County for the scholastic year ending June 30, 1912. In view of the fact that the success of the cause of public education depends in large measure, if not entirely, upon the attitude of the people toward the public schools, I deem an effort as greatly worth while that has for its purpose the establishment of a closer and more vital relationship between the people and their schools. And this report is submitted in the hope that it may serve in some measure to bring about this relationship.
It is hoped that the tables showing the receipts and the disbursements of the public school fund will be of interest to taxpayers generally, who have the right to know and who should know what is being done with the money which they pay for the education of their children. The tables showing the statistics of the individual schools ought to stimulate a spirit of wholesome emulation and rivalry, and thus create in each district an enthusiasm for better schools. It is also hoped that this report will be of particular value to committeemen and teachers. In it will be found the names and addresses of the committeemen of every public school district in the county, and the names and addresses of the teachers of each school for last year.
To the casual reader the pages of this report will reveal no startling or sensational outburst of progress; but to the diligent student they will show evidence of steady growth, of gradual improvement and of orderly, natural development. I desire to call your special attention to the table of comparative statistics, showing in brief summary the progress that has been made during the last decade.
I desire also to thank the board for its wise counsel and for its hearty co-operation with me in every progressive movement for the general improvement of the public schools in Harnett County.
Yours very truly,
County Superintendent.
T. B. McAuley had this to say of the first common school law (1696): "By this memorable law it was in the Scotch forge statuted and ordained that every parish in the realm should provide a commodious school house and should pay a moderate stipend to a school master. The effect could not be immediately felt. But before one generation had passed away it began to be evident that the common people of Scotland were superior in intelligence to the common people of any other country of Europe. To whatever land the Scotchman might wander, to whatever calling he might betake himself, in America or India, in trade or in war, the advantage of his early training raised him above his competitors. If he was taken into a warehouse as a partner, he soon became foreman, if he enlisted in the army he soon became sargeant.
Scotland meanwhile, in spite of the barrenness of her soil and the severity of her climate, made such progress in agriculture, in manufactures, in commerce, in letters, in science, in all that constitutes civilization as the old world never saw equalled or even the new world has scarcely seen surpassed."

Census, Enrollment, Average Attendance, and Teachers of Each School.
By Districts.
The first election held in Harnett County for the establishment of a local tax school district was held at Dunu on September 12, 1905. On October 10, 1905, District No. 8 voted local tax, and on the recommendation of the County Superintendent, this district was consolidated with the Dunn district.
At this time there was no public school building in the Dunn district. The building that had been used prior to this time was a wretched makeshift with no equipment and very inferior light. Immediately after the election the Board of Education and the new Board of Committeemen, or Trustees, took steps to have a new building erected. With the aid of the regular apportionment, which the County Superintendent would not agree to be used further to run the school in the old building, and in this way saved $1,407; this, with the local tax and the loan fund, a new brick school house was built and equipped which is valued at twice the total county school funds in 1902.
The following table shows the local tax districts in the county, the date on which the election was held in each, and the amount received from local tax for the school year 1910-1911.
In the eleven local tax districts the valuation of school property is $20,000, before the tax was voted the school property was valued at $1,000. The length of the school term before local tax was 78 days, now an average of 127½ days. This shows an increase in the length of the school term of about 63½ per cent. The average attendance as compared with the census population was 34 per cent, whereas now in these districts it is 76 per cent.
We have now reached an era in the progress of our schools when the people in any district who want a good school must vote the local tax, because all the best teachers are seeking employment in the local tax districts, where the pay is better, the interest alive and the term is longer.
In districts where the necessary amount cannot be raised by private donation, the State Loan Fund is applied to for help. Loans from this fund are granted on notes, made payable in ten annual installments, with interest at four per cent. While this method of getting money for buildings shortens the term slightly, yet it does not materially interfere with the school, and it has proven a blessing in many districts in our county.
Up to this date the following districts have availed themselves of the advantages of this fund:
In District No. 1, Averasboro, the trustees arranged to take up the notes and pay the entire indebtedness. The County Superintendent was requested by the trustees to take proper steps in taking up these notes, the last of which was not due until 1916. On February 10, 1909, the notes were cancelled by paying amount due, $2,832.00.
At the very foundation of every successful school system lies the practical problem of necessary physical equipment in houses, furniture and grounds. * * * This question of the character of our public school houses is a far more serious one than many people think. Nobody has any respect for any thing that is not respectable. A respectable school house, then, is not only necessary for conducting successfully the business of public education, but is absolutely essential for commanding the respect of the community for that business. The character of the business must, to some extent, determine the character of the place of business.
What, then, should be the character of the public school houses where the business of educating nine out of ten of the State's children for citizenship and social service is carried on? * * *
Within, shall it be a hovel or a home; a place of beauty or a place of ugliness; a place of comfort or a place of discomfort; a place of cleanness or a place of uncleanness? Without, shall the grass grow green and the sun shine bright, and the flowers bloom and the birds sing, and the trees wave their long arms; or shall it be bleak and bare and barren, where Nature, God's great teacher, never whispers to the children her messages of peace and love and beauty from the Master?"—
J. Y. Joyner, Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The estimated amount necessary in the County for a four-months' school was made and submitted to the Commissioners, and they having made the special levy, there is no doubt as to the length of term in every district.
We feel that the Commissioners deserve commendation for their action in this matter. This harmony existing between the Commissioners and the Board of Education on educational matters means much for the schools of Harnett County.
In behalf of the teachers and friends of education of the County, we desire to express gratitude to the editors of both the County papers for their co-operation in the work of the Board and Superintendent, by granting free of charge space in their papers, devoted to the progress of education in the County. This is a commendable spirit, and we feel sure that the people of the County appreciate it, as well as the Board of Education.
The schools were located by the Board of Education in July, 1907, at Angier and Lillington. As to locations geographically convenient to all parts of the County, no better places could have been selected. Already these villages were included in large special tax districts and provided with ample school buildings. Since the establishment of these schools, the building at Angier has been enlarged, and now there is in course of erection a large dormitory for the convenience and growing demand of boarding pupils.
These schools are free and open to every pupil sufficiently advanced to take the high school studies, which begin with eight grade work.
Since a part of the work of the County Superintendent is carried on through correspondence, a few of the circular letters sent out during the year are submitted below, selected as being most pertinent to this report because of the light they throw upon the general character of the year's work. They are placed here in permanent form, in the hope that their publication may serve to further their original purpose.
DUNN, N. C., September 26, 1911.
To the School Committeemen and Public School Teachers of Harnett County:
I have been thinking for some time as to the advisability of holding a joint conference of school committeemen and teachers, just prior to the opening of the schools. The more I study the situation, coupled with experience, the more I am becoming convinced that a great power for good, now almost dormant, resides in the school committeemen.
If we can get the committeemen organized and actively co-oporating with us, we will have a strong right arm in making the schools of the county far more efficient.
I would suggest before we hold our meeting that you think about the following subjects, jot down your thoughts, and come to the meeting prepared to give your fellow committeemen the benefit of your carefully thought-out suggestions in from five to ten minutes.
First. What definite things have you a right as a school committeeman, to expect of the teacher in your district?
Second. In what definite ways has your teacher a right to expect your co-operation?
Third. In what definite ways can you, by virtue of your office as a school commiteeman, increase and improve the educational advantages of the children in your district, as well as in your County as a whole?
This plan can no doubt be improved upon the more we work at it. What do you think of the plan? Do you not think you would like to meet with the committeemen and teachers of the County? Those two classes upon which the success of our schools very largely depend. I will take the liberty to call our first meeting on Saturday, October 21st, 1911, at 10:30 A. M. at Lillington. I hope to see, if not all, a large majority of the school committeemen and teachers present.
Very truly yours,
DUNN, N. C., November 17, 1911.
Dear Madam:—
I am writing you, asking your services in a work that means everything for our County. May I ask you to join with us in bettering the educational conditions in the County?
If every woman in Harnett should feel called from her little isle of safety to the larger ways of service for the children's sake, the good done would be beyond our reckoning.
Now, you have a public school building and grounds in your community, let us make it the most important place, next to the church, in your neighborhood. Well, you ask me how shall we do it?
I have a plan—it is this: Send word by the school children to your lady friends and neighbors to meet you at the school building Friday, November 30th, at 2 o'clock and organize, by merely talking over the following questions:
What can we do to make the school more attractive?
What can we do toward getting some pictures on the walls?
What can we do to get the parents, especially the mothers, to take more interest in the school?
Get all the mothers and young ladies interested and talking about our school, showing that they are proud of it.
I have an abiding faith in the womanhood of Harnett, and I know they can do almost anything they want to. If you learn that certain children in your school district are not in school, make it a point to visit the home, talk with the mother and encourage her about the importance of her children attending school every day during the term. Tell her that her life is being spent for them, and in old age her greatest source of happiness will be in her children, who have grown to be honorable and intelligent men and women through her influence.
If you should know of any children in your district kept out of school because they are not able to get books, will you please let me know who they are, and you and I together will see to it that they have them.
It will be a great pleasure to me as well as encouraging to get a letter from you along any line of school work. I am sending more than five hundred copies of this letter to the mothers.
With best wishes,
Very truly,
DUNN, N. C., October 12, 1911.
To the Teachers:
Will you not do your very best this year in every phase of work pertaining to your school?
I want to ask you to get the names of every boy and girl between the ages of six and twenty-one years old in the district school you teach. I also want you to send me the names of the parents and the correct address of each. If you will do this it will be very beneficial to you and to me.
I will be glad to have this information no later than December 10th.
We must take advantage of every means possible to make the attendance better in our schools. When you have done your full duty you feel easy of conscience, but if you drag along in a don't-care sort of way, you lose your appetite, sweet sleep has left you, your health is gone, you are down and out.
Let's not have such a ghost-like picture haunting us, but rather, we will do our full duty and never drive from our cheeks the roses of youth and that vigorous and happy life that comes to every one who labors well in his or her chosen field.
As soon as you have engaged to teach, let me know where and when your school will begin. I can help you and want to do so.
You should hate to see things done by halves. If it be right, do it boldly; if it be wrong, leave it undone.
Very truly,
Dunn, N. C., January 17, 1912.
To the Teachers:
The Harnett County Teachers' Association will meet in the school building in Lillington at 10:30 A. M. Saturday, January 27, 1912.
We hope to have a full attendance at this meeting. There will be before the Association several questions, as follows: The advantages, if any, of a school with more than one teacher.
Should we have fewer districts and establish public conveyances to take the children to and from school? Other questions will also be heard.
I want to say to you this: Pay special attention to common and decimal fractions, and simple interest. I find in the public examinations of teachers that many of them are deficient in their knowledge of decimal fractions. Drill your pupils well along this line.
Do not go about your work in a mechanical way, but rather move along with your pupils in an inventive way, studying the best way to get the pupil to understand what he does not know by what he does know. Your pupils will make remarkably slow progress if you follow any one particular plan. Conditions and circumstances are such, sometimes
that we must get out of the groove of the theorist and try an unbeaten path. Learn to be a teacher from the various branches of knowledge.
Ask yourself this question: In what does a child differ from a man? As the child is immature in all its powers, it is the first business of education, to cultivate those, by giving to each regular exercise in its own proper sphere, till, through exercise and growth, they come to their full strength and skill.
Let me append to this letter some of the things that have come to me in my experience as a teacher:
1. Help the pupil to form a clear idea of the work to be done, in its several parts and stages.
2. Show him that there are always more things implied than are said in any lesson.
3. Ask him to express, in simple words of his own, the meaning as he understands it, and to persist till he has the whole thought.
4. Aim to make the pupil an independent investigator. Cultivate in him a fixed and constant habit of research.
5. Make the most of the pupil's knowledge. Let him feel its extent and value as a means of learning more.
6. Teach the pupil to hate all falsehoods and shams as things that are odious, hurtful, dishonoring, shameful, cowardly and intensely mean and wicked. Make him to dread a false answer to a problem as a falsehood from the lips.
Very truly,
DUNN, N. C., December 2, 1911.
To the Teachers:
As previously announced, the next meeting of the County Association of Teachers will be held in Lillington Saturday, December 16th, at 10:30 in the school building.
In this meeting we hope to have discussed the school register, its uses and benefits. Bring your register with you and tell us how you keep it. Let us discuss at this meeting also time-saving devices and system in school work.
The one teacher school through lack of system is woefully inefficient. System will do much towards redeeming it. Come, let us reason together about this and thus help one another.
Very truly,
DUNN, N. C., November 2, 1911.
To the Teachers of Harnett County:
Saturday, November 18th, as previously announced, the Harnett County Teachers' Association will be held in the school building in Lillington at 10.30 A. M.
This meeting will be mainly for organization, electing officers and perfecting the roll. Short talks will be given on:
a. Problems of Supervision and School Management.
b. A Model Lesson.
c. The Reading Circle.
d. How to Use the Library.
It is my earnest desire that the teachers make these monthly meetings their own, and that they will feel free at all times to make suggestions, to ask questions pertaining to the advancement of our work. I am looking forward with much pleasure to meeting you all Saturday, November 18th. Come and let us plan together larger and greater things for the children of our beloved and historic county. I shall be greatly disappointed if a single teacher fails to be present, and thereby imposing upon me the unpleasant duty of investigating the reason.
With best wishes.
Very truly yours,
County Superintendent.
This oration of Dr. Thompson is republished in this report for its educational value.
County Superintendent.
If the art of living is the finest of all the fine arts—and who that dreams of a perfect life shall doubt it!—then the saddest thing in life is man's slowness in learning to live it. The world is so beautiful, so beneficent, so abundant. The order of nature is so frugal and so conservative. In the stars of the firmament, there is no lost motion; no planet swerves from its helpful path; there is no dissipation of energy but is conserved in some useful form. If human economy is negligent, destructive, and wasteful, the divine order is contructive and saving. Out of the void and darkness, the spirit of God created all that is, preserves it all, and destroys nothing. Out of the abundance of man's heritage, over which he holds rightful dominion, behold the waste of life, the waste of opportunity, the stupendous waste of material!
Just one old Book contains the wisdom of the ages—written by the best of their times about the best when at their best. As a scheme of life the world's literature has nothing comparable to it. It makes record of the one perfect life, the one universal man, the measure of all men. In Palestine one afternoon, this Galilean had been teaching a vast multitude. "When the day began to wear away, then came the twelve and said unto him 'Send the multitude away, that they may go into the town and country round about, and lodge and get victuals; for we are in a desert place.' But he said unto them, 'Give ye them to eat.' And they said, 'We have no more but five loaves and two fishes, except we should go and buy meat for all this people.' For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, 'Make them sit down.' Then he took the five loaves and two fishes, and
looking up to heaven he blessed and brake and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. And they did eat and were all filled." When they were filled"—with food and no less with wonder—when the multitude and the disciples of the Master were satisfied and ready to go away, then came to his disciples this command out of the carefulness of God, "Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost." A desert place, to be sure—a multitude to be fed, only five loaves and two fishes; but the Lord of Life, the master of the feast, the divine economy of saving, and the fragments more than they had at the beginning!
With the savage man, all is waste; as civilization advances, something is saved, though much is lost.
In a material way, we are saving much. The cotton of the South not long ago was valuable only for the lint, but now a very considerable part of the value of the crop is contained in the seed. Thirty years ago, a seedless lint seemed desirable; today the cotton-grower would almost welcome a lintless seed. Olives do not grow in the cotton belt, nor cows and hogs on cotton stalks; but from cotton seed we get lard made in Chicago, butter churned in Indiana, and olive oil pressed in sunny Italy. Petroleum gives us everything from axle-grease for an ox-cart to gasoline for an aeroplane; and the profits of the Standard Oil Company are largely made from the waste of twenty-five years ago. Armour has learned the saving principle of the whole hog or none; and he puts on the market everything from the ham to the internal secretion of the suprarenal gland. It used to be a problem with our sawmills what to do with the sawdust. Invention found a way to throw it into the furnace for fuel, and later invention converts it into wood alcohol. On farm and in factory, improved implements, methods, and machinery make impossible and ridiculous the slow and wastful methods of other days. Vast areas of waste lands we are reclaiming by drainage, and by irrigation we are forcing the desert places to blossom like the rose. The stage-coach is a memory, and railroads are everywhere; and the wastefulness of bad country roads is preached at every turn by the makers of automobiles and gasoline. The waste power
of turbulent waters is converted into productive energy. Steam and electricity, telegraph and telephone, are crowding the world together and wiping out time and distance; and still, finding it too far withal to steam around Cape Horn, we are spending our millions to save time, and cut across at Panama.
And in a social way, we are becoming conscious of our wastefulness, and are turning our minds to the principles that underlie conservation. I believe that I am right when I say that all social waste is due to the assertion of individual rights, and all social conservation is founded upon a denial of them. And I believe that the best government for any man is that which is best suited to develop the best possibilities that are in him. The form of government, in other words, must be determined by the matter of development.
All government is a denial of natural rights and the substitution of duties for the good of the individual in the common good. The fullest exercise of natural rights is found in a state of savagery; the highest conservation of rights is found in a state of civilization—in that civilization which makes fullest denial of natural rights for the well-being of society.
The State exists for the individual, and the individual must exist and be fitted to exist for the State. No personal right can stand in the way of the individual and social good. The doctrine of right' must yield to the doctrine of duty; in the higher civilization, the sense of selfishness must give place to the sense of service.
The law of eminent domain holds true not only in lands and material things; it is operative as well over men. The State may tax for the preservation of order and compel for the public service. It may fine and imprison for crime; for the safety of society, it may take away all rights for a time or a lifetime; nay, it may take even life itself when the individual so misuses his rights that his death, better than his life, subserves the public good.
Preventive medicine, than which there is no finer fruit of civilization, is founded upon a denial of rights. Compulsory vaccination is primarily for the safety of the individual, but
mainly for public protection. Quarantine against acute, contagious and communicable diseases is prevention of waste through denial of personal rights. We may not allow a man to exercise a right when he exercises it to his own hurt and to the injury of his neighbors. The right is taken from him for his own and the public good, so to conserve best his best rights in the health of his community.
These principles we are steadily learning men to appreciate, and when we come to the full appreciation of the divine economy of service and saving, pestilence will not walk in darkness, nor destruction waste at noonday.
A dairyman's cows are his own, to be sure; but he may not sell infected milk to waste the health and life of his neighbors' children.
A butcher's meat is his own; but, if unfit for human food, he may not offer it at the market-places.
A patent nostrum is its maker's own; but let him warn the purchaser of its narcotic content.
A manufacturer's money is his own; but he may not spend it for the cheaper labor of the undeveloped child, or require of a man for a day's labor toil beyond a definite number of hours.
A man's child is his own; but he may not waste its growth and health and life in hazardous labors.
A man may not waste his own child nor his neighbor's child, nor claim any right of person or property that hinders the aggregate development and safety of his community.
On every hand out of the mouths of frauds, ignorance and politicians, we hear enough of the rights of men; let us hear more rather of their duties. We have had enough of waste; it is time we had more of conservation. To love our neighbor as ourself is but to see ourself in our neighbor and to find our safety everlastingly involved in his welfare. From rights, then, to duties; so lead the way from waste to permanent wealth and happiness.
Think for a moment of the stupendous waste in an uneducated and untrained child, the countless untrained, undeveloped, uneducated children of the past. You desire wealth,
but intrinsic value resides only in man; the value of things is derived from man; and the greater or less value of things is dependent upon the character, the quality of man. A lively consciousness of this fact is the motive of all progress in education.
Our system of public education is founded upon a denial of rights and a material consciousness of duties—a denial of the right of the child to himself, of the right of the parent to his child, of the right of even the childless man to so much of his money as may be necessary for the child's education. To conserve, to construct, this is the mark and work of civilization; to tear down, to hinder, let that be of the past: it is diabolical. To build, to prevent waste, this embodies the whole duty of civilized man. The State is endeavoring to build for the sake of the individual and itself, and the individual must be fitted to fulfil his duty to the State.
To prevent waste, therefore, we have everywhere our common schools, our graded schools, our colleges and our universities; our technical schools for the education of men, and our normals for the training of women. For the same reason we shall come everywhere to a system of compulsory education. Recognizing already the defects and consequent waste of our methods, we are coming even now to the study of exceptional and nervous children and to the medical inspection of the school children in general.
To prevent waste, the State, the churches, and fraternal orders establish and maintain orphanages. These are not mere charities, not matters of sentiment only; they are makers of men and women—they make them, alas! far better than the average home!
To prevent waste, we teach the deaf and dumb and the blind, and make them self-sustaining members of society.
To prevent waste, we care for the insane and the epileptic, and restore many of these unfortunates to happy and useful life.
To prevent waste, gathering up hitherto neglected fragments, the State of North Carolina leads among Southern States in the establishment of a school for the teaching of the feeble-minded. The motive originated in this society, and
stands as one of its glories forever. The Commonwealth of Virginia is urged to follow in this constructive work; and Virginia cannot lag behind.
To prevent waste, everywhere there is better care of the criminal classes. The old misanthropy did not seek to reform and save; the old misanthropy imprisoned in noisome jails without hope of health or reformation, at the offender's cost and wretchedness. No prouder name stands in English history than the name of John Howard, the humane country gentleman, high sheriff of Bedfordshire, the father of modern prison reform. Begun in sentiments of humanity, the new philanthropy leads the State to take account of the offender and forces the offender to take account of the State. We punish the criminal not for the sole purpose of punishing, but for the protection and progress of society, to deter others from the commission of crime and to reform or improve the offender and send him home a useful member of society. If we deprive him of liberty and his rights, it is to make of him a better citizen. We work him and care for him; we feed him, clothe and shelter him; we make him profitable to himself and useful to the State, even against his will.
To prevent waste, we have juvenile courts that consider the defects and possibilities of the criminal; and we build reformatories for young criminals, lest the hope of reformation to useful life be lost by association with the irretrievably bad.
To prevent waste, the physician has ceased to be the mere giver of drugs to them that are sick; he is become the peripathetic teacher of sanitation and hygiene, the guardian of individual and public, the apostle of the gospel of health. Having fought against death at close quarters and failed, he warns all men everywhere to fortify against his approach. And so he adds to the years of human life. If he carries no more of us beyond the limit of three score years and ten, he leads more lives more nearly to this limit. Oh! the waste of life in its prime, the slaughter of the innocents from mothers' arms, the untimely tears of broken hearts, before the physician glimpsed the fulness of his mission and began to rouse the State to the duty of preventative medicine! You've seen
the tumorous scars, in every city, hamlet, and churchyard, that made prematurely leprous the beautiful face of mother earth.
Not that our work is yet fully comprehended or perfected; but this one thing we do, forgetting the things that are behind, we press forward, proud that on stepping-stones of our dead selves we are rising with better conscience to higher things.
To prevent waste, the manufacturer begins to look after the sanitation of premises and the health of his operatives. He finds that he can save life and time and money.
To prevent waste, great insurance corporations are organizing health departments, issuing health bulletins, and teaching their policyholders and the public how to live.
And to prevent the waste of war, this relic of barbarism, the verity of hell—the dream of poet and seer through centuries from Isaiah to the latest soul that sang in sight of things—to beat our swords into ploughshares and our spears into purning-hooks—the greater nations of the earth now seek to adjust their disputes by arbitration. May our young Nation lead the world in this joyous laugh in the face of Death! Oh, it will come some time, and nations will learn war no more! Did you ask when? I know not the day; but when man is wise enough to exercise his duty to his fellow as he would now assert his right in his face, we shall not be far from the
For the world, despite all its evil and waste, is growing better; but from wild grapes to grapes is a long way, a slow and halting evolution.
But there is more of high ideal and noble purpose in the world than ever before; knowledge is being diffued as never before, and we are growing more humane. But if we are on the Appian way, in sight of the Three Taverns, let us thank God, take courage, and go on: we are not yet in Rome.
* * * * * * *
So with all our increase of knowledge and growth of humane sentiment, our utilization of natural resources and
prevention of material waste, our marvelous National progress, the thoughtful man cannot fail to inquire if we are building character, making men and women, as well as we builded in former days. After all, are we not tithing mint and anise and cummin and forgetting the weightier matters of the law? Are we as law-abiding as we used to be; have we the old-time reverence for sacred things; do we reverence God and the State as our conscience, and our conscience as the State and God? By the assertion of rights, are we not following the way of the prodigal who spent his substance in riotous living and would fain, at last, have filled his belly with the husks which the swine did eat?
If my son have not respect for my authority and the authority of the State; if he reverence not God and holy things; if he have not faith and hope and love abiding in him; if he have not respect for the rights of others and respect for himself; if he have not character; no wealth or knowledge of his can tell me that he is not a dangerous derelict without anchor, and I shall know that he is the heaviness of his father.
I am not preaching you a sermon—I am not cut out for that—but whatever of good there is in me comes, I know, from that mature sentiment, which, when the Sabbath dawns for man's rest, says "Come, let us go up in the house of the Lord;" and, when I have entered, "The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him!"
* * * * * * *
It used to be said that the parent controlled the child; it is now a common saying that the child controls the parent. That the parent does not control the child is too grievously true. Parental authority in no sense depends upon the consent of the governed. It is inherent in parenthood; it is a duty which the parent has no right to disregard, whether for himself, for his child, or the State. For the family is the indispensable social unit. The purpose of the family is the training of children to orderly life and citizenship. More and more the family is failing of its purpose. I must train my child in
the way he should go for the child's sake and for society's sake. It is not a work which I have a right to do or not to do: it is my inalienable duty to him, to the State, and to God. I may not relinquish my work any more than the Creator of all things may abdicate His throne upon the circle of the heavens. So only can come among men the doing of justice and judgment. The Puritan may have been unduly austere, but the Puritan made men and women. To spare the rod even and so spoil the child, what is it but to take out of my child the best that is in him along with all his best possibilities? I, his king, will have robbed my subject and wasted the substance of the State.
Patriot and demagogue rant about rights of local self-government—let them descant less upon the beauties of it to the thoughtless, unbridled multitude; but rather, as fathers, let them teach it to their children—teach them obedience to divinely constituted authority and obedience to self. For "he that ruleth his spirit is better than he that taketh a city." So may crime be lessened and more surely punished; so may juries look up to God and care well for the State; these new mad-storms of reckless brains be lulled ere they rise; the company of the insane will grow smaller, and the number of hysteric women and psychasthentic men will grow less.
In the building of character, the right attitude of the soul of man, a work of early years, nothing can take the place of the family. The schools are only supplementary. And I pray you, O schoolmaster, teach my child both obedience and books if you can; but if you can teach him no books, teach him obedience to you and and control of himself—teach him this form of local self-government, this most vital, embryonic form of democracy.
It is said that "when the court chaplain of Frederick the Great was asked by that gruff monarch for a concise summary of the argument in support of the truths of Scripture, he instantly replied, with a force to which nothing could be added: 'The Jews, your Majesty, the Jews!' "—a people enduring, law-abiding, not much given to crime.
"And the Lord said, Shall I withhold from Abraham
that thing which I do, seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the ways of the Lord, to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that thing which he hath spoken of him." It would come in no other way; not even the Lord could bring it any other way!
Therefore, whoso shall rouse the heads of American families to resume their rightful sway, to discharge to their children, the State, and to God their inalienable duty, he shall preserve our rights and prevent the waste of the Nation.
The minimum length of school term of four months provided in the Constitution should not be made the maximum length of term. To stop here is to shut off hope of progress. The door of hope for education should be open to the child in every rural district. The general school fund, supplemented by a local tax, would give a six months' school to the rural districts, as an average.
(1) That every rural district in the County vote a local tax of the maximum rate of 30c on the $100 valuation of property and 90c on the poll. The aim should be for not less than six months' school in the rural districts.
(2) That our citizens, school officers, teachers and legislators all co-operate in making the rural schools better, and thus solve the most vital question before our county.
The School Committee of Angier and Lillington Public High Schools are appointed by the County Board of Education. The powers, duties and qualifications are similar to those of other public school committeemen.
They are appointed for a term of two years, for a term of four years, and a term of six years.ANGIER HIGH SCHOOL
Dr. J. E. Caviness, two years, Lillington E. S. Smith, four years, Lillington H. T. Spears, six years, Lillington.
The school in Dunn is under the management of the same board of trustees as the Dunn Graded School for the whites.
Managed by the White committee, given in the list of white committeemen.BLACK RIVER TOWNSHIP
Managed by the white committee, given in the list of white committeemen.STEWART'S CREEK TOWNSHIP
Considerable progress has been made in the County in the improvement of educational conditions, but there is a great deal yet to be done. A few more school houses need to be built, more school rooms furnished with the equipment necessary for successful work, more consolidations of districts made, more local tax districts established, a better average school attendance secured, and a library of select reference books for teachers purchased. By the hearty co-operation of the parents, the teachers, the school committee and the other school officials, these necessary improvements can soon be attained.
I believe that there is more of the Declaration of Independence expressed in the common school system than in any other of our institutions; there is more of equal opportunity, more of the even chance, more of the square deal, more of the recognition of the individual merits than in any other institution. At the door of the public school all social, political and religious distinctions disappear, all external marks of rank and classification are laid aside, and the children enter the public schools as the sons and daughters of American citizens, and as children of the Republic.

Many in the Republican Party are beginning to see the true nature of Landis's ambitions and her willingness to lie to get what she wants. She has sold her soul to Scott Wagner (angry he lost the garbage contract), Joe Darrah (angry he can't violate township ordinances without being fined by the Courts), and Bill Carter (angry he can't just divide land without subdivision authorization). They are running Russ Wantz to be their puppet. What honest person would choose to run and support a man arrested for solicitation of a prostitute a few short years ago. Wagner, Darrah, and Carter are the only, and I mean ONLY people who contributed to Wantz's campaign. What does that tell you? Wagner gave Wantz $7000 for a township supervisor race. Don't tell me he doesn't want something - namely control and revenge. This whole race and the whole Julie generated "scandal" stinks to high heaven. Before Landis joined the board, we could be proud of how it did business. She has made our board a laughing stock through her actions and lies. Smart voters will see through it and give the honorable Bill Schenck their vote on Tuesday. Then we can figure out a way to impeach that Bozo Landis.What an embarassment Julie Landis is to the Republican Party! The powers that be in the Republican Party should toss her out! Who needs this kind of trash? I'm so sick of hearing about her garbage and false accusations. This creep will do ANYTHING to call attention to herself and try to convince others that she is just a little sweetheart. Paleeeeeeeeze! What must her employer think??! Can't be good for their business. Again - ignore the distraction - vote for Schenck if you care about the future and character of Springettsbury Township.
Springettsbury Township supervisor charged with harassment
There are 132 comments on the The York Daily Record story from May 13, 2011, titled Springettsbury Township supervisor charged with harassment. In it, The York Daily Record reports that:Pennsylvania State Police have charged a Springettsbury Township supervisor with harassment after an incident that took place at the township building last month, according to a news release.

I hope you have proof for these allegations.
#78 May 14, 2011
All the proof you need comes straight from Landis' big mouth. She constantly incriminates herself. Doesn't take a genious to realize it.
#79 May 14, 2011
I may just start hanging around the township building a little more. We have an ordinance officer punching out citizens, and a township supervisor yelling a cussing in a meeting and another one bullying a woman.... what a show...!! What's next??
United States

I'd pay to watch this stuff... this is great!!
(for real though... this is an embarrassment !! This is not some Podunk township)

Bishop challenged a firefighter to a fist fight a few years ago after a township meeting.He has caused more confrontations than any other Supervisor in the years I was with Springettsbury Twp.He needs to go,period.
#84 May 15, 2011
Finally, the truth. This is what voters need to know. The unscrupulous Landis has taken an argument and blown it up into a criminal charge. Sensationalism at its worst. Now Wantz runs an ad in the Sunday paper showing a Criminal Record Check for himself that is clean. It is only clean because he was admitted into the Accelerated Rehabilitation Program after his arrest for SOLICITING A PROSTITUTE! When a person completes that program, their record is expunged. But he was charged and basically, by not contesting the charges, in my mind he pleaded guilty by taking ARD. Combine that with his support from the three men above who all have a selfish financial interest in owning another township supervisor, and you have a very important race about to take place on Tuesday. I am more convinced than ever that Bill Schenck deserves my vote. Keep our township clean.

A woman who has affair(s)with married police officer(s) has no morals, character or integrity. Why do you think her husband filed for a divorce and she lives with a married man.
#86 May 15, 2011
Anyone who has had to deal with Landis and her over the top behavior knows what she is like. Ask the Central School Board members. We don't for one minute believe her version of the incident at the township. Since she supports Russ Wantz, we won't. We don't need another incompetent like her on our township board. We and all of our friends and neighbors who care about our community will be supporting a true public servant, Bill Schenck.
#87 May 15, 2011
People who represent our community and hold public office(s) should be accountable for their moral value, character, and integrity. They are people who we look up to, if they lie and cheat in their personal life how do you expect them to be any different in office. Julie Landis should be held accountable for her actions.
I believe we should take care of our police officers, they do a heck of a job, give up holiday with their families, work some strange hours and have to deal with stresses we have no idea about, all to protect us.

These Springettsbury supervisors have made themselves the laughing stock of the county. What a group of losers. Hey a**wipes,,do us all a favor and resign.
#89 May 15, 2011
Springettsbury is the most messed up corrupt township in the county. And its leaders are worthless.

I suggest all the supervisors resign. They fight like 2nd graders at recess. We have lost all respect for them ( not that we had that much too begin with ).
#91 May 15, 2011
How do you know all this?
#92 May 15, 2011
every thing i see leads to a mole in the wood pile something is bad here or we would not have these accusations from both sides. in the paper today Wagner has donated much to others so i believe he wants a change. carter just wants to get through a sub division that Holman seems to be holding up with engineer demands. after hearing Pasch thurs night it dont surprise me that there are alot of that going on so holmans freind makes big bucks. i talked to the old zoning officer who tells me that holman railroaded darrah and had the engineer lie in court to stop him from having any use of the land he bought. he actually had the engineer write letters to DEP to stop him but they gave him a permit to handle the storm water from 83 and this is when he got canned for not being a YES man and they hired Baugh

Intelligent residents of Springettsbury Townhip - Vote for Schenck. It is true - Landis instigated the whole scam of harassment against the REAL supervisors of the Township to distract from her desire to get more incompetents like herself on the Board so she can run the Township into the gutter. Just come to the meetings and witness her childish behavior. After she acts out, she tries to blame Bishop for reacting to her nonsense. Then she tries to look important by publicly "telling the Township Manager she is his boss" to show off for her police buddies (that don't live in the Township). Wow ... we're so impressed.

Burt's Bees Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer Plum
5 reviews

Package Quality: 4.0
Price: $$
Package Quality: 4.0
Price: $$
Not tested on animals
Burt's Bees is a Cruelty-Free Subsidiary.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Blue
I like Burt's Bee's lip shimmers but was put off buying this one for ages because when I tested it on my hand it looks very dark and quite purpley but I finally bought it today and it's really nice, it comes out as like a sheer burgundy with a slight plum-ish hue, my favourite shimmer so far is Raisin and they're quite similar but when I compare them side by side Raisin is more red tones and Plum is, well, more plum toned! So I think if you like Raisin as well then you would like this too
Age: 36-43
Skin: Acne-prone, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
I was expecting a tinted lip balm but instead got a warm red lipstick with no shimmer. Although it wasn't what I was looking for I do like it. It is a nice red I can pull off.
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Other, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I have Rhubarb and Fig. This is new - Plum. I am brunette with dark eyes. This is a great color, not too red or brown - just the perfect plum. This is the best one of the lip shimmers so far! Makes teeth look white, too! I will reach for it often.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
I was really hoping to like this a lot, but sadly, I don't. I wish it were just a tad sheer, it's too thickish if that makes sense. Neither do I like the 'mentholy' aspect of it and I believe that is drying to the lips. Sorry Burt, this is a dud.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
Oh wow, how pleasantly surprised I was with this lip shimmer! This is a very lovely fall color for lips. A true pigmented plum color. I love the fact that it's all natural and cheap too - $3.99. I like the tingle I get with this too. Burt's Bees lip shimmers, as far as color pay off, are a real hit or miss for me. But this color is pure loveliness!

The bose wave is a cool looking item to have in the home. I own three of them so they must be good. When using in conjunction with an ipod by means of an auxilary cable it never seems to get loud enough. You can get the Bose to go as loud as you can without any distortion in sound. At maximum volume it sounds so clear.

Norbert Schmidt's Homepage
Apps and websites
Video and Audio
Welcome to my personal website, its mostly about Astronomy here.
In my daily life I run a
software developing company called DDQ
, and working with (preferably non windows-) computers and gadgets is my second biggest area of interest. Most of my work and hobby is done on a MacBook and on Linux machines. Most of the professional work is related to astronomy and medical science, so i might be one of the luckiest guys around. I work a lot on astronomical apps and citizen science projects like iSPEX, Venus Transit and more recently
Dark Sky Meter
, an award winning app listed on many famous websites like BBC, CBS.com en Scientific American.
In 2013 i gave a TED talk about citizen science and apps.
In my spare time i founded and developed
, probably the biggest astronomy site in the Dutch spoken languare area.
As of 2012 i am the chairman of the public observatory
Sterrenwacht Limburg
in Heerlen. A great place with some unique antique telescopes in it ( A Fraunhofer and a Saegmuller/Fauth telescope). Further on i like to stroll in the woods, listen and play music. Enjoy life and nature. And of course stargazing with my Deep Sky friends!
Started at a young age with astronomy. The first star i saw was without a doubt Sirius. I was expecting a huge ball with large flames. But no, it turned out to be a magnified dot..Just a little more intense. It DID start my hobby. Strange isn't it?
My hobby-career started with being a proud librarian (about 50 books ;) of the local astronomy club in Overveen. The Netherlands. I still have those books for rent!
Then I joined the JWG (JongerenWerkGroep voor sterrenkunde) and became later on the chief (nonsense) of the department Haarlem-Haarlemmermeer-Bollenstreek. It was 20% Astronomy and 80% Adolescence attitude. But we still had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the yearly perseids Party at a farm of Harro, a friend of mine. Later on i gave some astronomy courses at the local community centre. That was very nice. My main interest was Cosmology and quantum physics. It gave me an escape from daily life. And then I made a long pause because of school, study, and other interests. In 1999 I visited the cloudy solar eclipse in France. Which I found a But the event that started it all (again!) was the Venus Transit of 2002. A lot of people saw the transit and i bought my second telescope: a 127mm Maksutov (make: Skywatcher). The internet was a great help in stimulating the hobby! Some dutch sites and of course Cloudy Nights provided a wealth of information. I decided to join astrostart.nl and galaxies.nl. Both news/forum sites. A little later on i became admin of the astrostart forum (which is now astroforum.nl). I met a lot of friends and good people. You can read more on it here (HYP) Later on I became vice president of the Copernicus Observatory. Nowadays i am still a volunteer. Organising a public observatory had too less to do with the romantic side of the hobby: Stargazing and teach other people to enjoy the night sky. And thats the main focus for now: i really enjoy stargazing, despite the fact that i am living in a severe light polluted area. Hopping Markarians Chain and admiring the sight of the Helix Nebula in Southern France is like drugs. No, really! And for free. It is the most peaceful and relaxing hobby there is!

Free Preview: UCLA Lands Dennis Keyes
Dennis Keyes (6-1, 180, 4.5) from Van Nuys (Calif.) Birmingham committed to the Bruins over the weekend.The Bruins landed one of the best defensive backs on the West Coast when
"UCLA has a good atmosphere, a great campus and I liked the guys I met on the team," Keyes said. "UCLA is close to home and the Bruins have a great tradition."
"Part of the reason I chose UCLA is their excellent track record of sending their defensive backs to the NFL," Keyes said.
Why the early decision? "I wanted to get it over before my senior season, so I could concentrate on my senior year and not have to worry about what college I was going to," Keyes said. "UCLA made feel at home and part of the Bruin family."
The Bruins get an exceptional player who could easily follow suit as another great defensive back for the Bruins. Keyes brings a lot of athleticism to the table. He has recorded an outstanding 35-inch vertical jump and competed in the state meet in track.
A standout on both sides of the ball, Keyes rushed for 1,088 yards and scored over 20 touchdowns. One the defensive side of ball, Keyes recorded over 60 tackles and had 4 interceptions.
Keyes was an all-city, all-area and all-league selection for the last two years.
In an earlier interview Birmingham head coach Ed Crosson said, "Dennis is a very versatile player. He has played seven different positions on defense for us. Dennis has played two different defensive line positions, all three linebacker spots as well as corner and safety."
Keyes will likely end up at safety for the Bruins, but corner is also an option.
The Bruins won this recruiting derby over offers from Cal, Oregon State, Washington, and Colorado. The entire Pac10 was recruiting Keyes and he probably would have had offers from most of the schools in the conference.
"I would have liked to take some trips but I don't think I will," Keyes said. "I am very happy with my decision."
Great get for the Bruins

Cambridge Audio's S525-V2 system turns any song, movie, video game, or TV show into an immersive, room-filling experience. Eyes closed, it's hard to imagine speakers this small can offer such potency. You'll be amazed by the accuracy, detail, and realism from the five tiny satellite speakers that measure less than 6" high and 3" deep. The matching 500-watt subwoofer delivers audiophile-quality bass, so you can experience the visceral impact of big bass drums and baritone saxophones as if the instruments are being played right in front of you. So whether you're looking to maximize your music or movie experience, or add depth to your favorite TV shows and sports, the Minx S525-V2 is ready to fill in the excitement that you've been missing.
The five Minx Min 21 satellite speakers included with this system were carefully designed and tested at Cambridge Audio's London facility by a team fueled with a passion for incredible sound. They completely rewrite the rulebook of what's possible from miniature speakers thanks to BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) technology. BMR drivers use a flat speaker surface that combines the traditional "pistonic" movement of speaker cones with a "bending-wave" movement to create sound. It's what allows the Minx Min 21s to produce a much wider frequency response than comparably sized speakers. You'll also experience a much broader sound dispersion across your entire room, for the most enveloping sound imaginable. Plus, the compact, acoustically damped cabinets offer extreme rigidity, so you hear pure, clean sound no matter how intense your movies get.
The matching Minx X500 subwoofer uses a 10" forward-firing driver made of a single piece of super strong, aerospace-grade aluminum for amazing punch and attack. It's paired with a passive radiator that adds some serious mid-bass boost. Cambridge Audio's software engineers specially designed the sophisticated Digital Signal Processor (DSP) in this sub, allowing it to pump out sensational bass from such a compact enclosure. You may even be fooled into thinking the X500 is several times its size.
Naturally, you want your speakers to fit into your home, rather than designing your living space around your system. That's why the compact Minx Min 21 satellites can be mounted to your wall, placed on stands, or positioned on a tabletop using optional hardware. You can mix and match by adding more Minx Min 21 or smaller Minx Min 11 speakers to create an even more engaging 7.1-channel system.
Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center.

Looking for speakers that'll deliver thrilling, edge-of-your-seat surround sound? Choosing a pre-matched speaker system is one way to ensure seamless home theater performance. These systems are made up of speakers that share the same tonal characteristics that means the sound will stay consistent as it moves from speaker to speaker around your room. Most pre-matched systems come with a subwoofer a must-have for high-impact bass.
Nice tonal balance. Sub is a must. handsome and well built.

Satellite Speakers
Powered Subwoofer
Minx Satellite Speakers: The Cambridge Audio Minx 525 speaker system includes five matching Cambridge Audio Minx MIN21 satellite speakers. The Cambridge Audio Minx MIN21 satellite speaker provides accuracy, detail, and realism from a compact speaker. Its wide dispersion capabilities make it easy to integrate into any room.
BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) Technology: The Cambridge Audio Minx MIN21 satellite speaker features dual 2.25" BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) drivers. The Cambridge Audio BMR drivers utilize patented "bending wave" principles normally seen in advanced flat-panel speakers, combined with piston-movement (backwards and forwards) like in a traditional speaker design. This type of design provides the Minx satellite speaker with a much wider frequency response and deeper and more powerful bass frequencies, plus incredibly spacious sound. The BMR driver design also adds value by delivering a much broader sound dispersion across the entire room, avoiding the typical "sweet spot" pitfall, for a more enveloping sound. The 2.25" BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) drivers employ a rubber surround for added durability and excursion. Each BMR driver utilizes ultra-compact push-pull neodymium magnets for greater efficiency.
Compact Acoustic Suspension Enclosure: The Cambridge Audio Minx MIN21 satellite speaker is only 3.125" (w) x 6.125" (h) x 3.75" (d). The Minx MIN21 features an acoustic suspension (sealed) cabinet for greater detail and tonal accuracy. The satellite speaker employs an acoustically damped thermo-polymer and extruded aluminum cabinet to prevent distortion caused by resonance and vibration. The Cambridge Audio Minx MIN21 includes a detachable cloth grille. The Minx MIN21 cabinets are available in a high-gloss black (with black cloth grille) or high-gloss white finish (with silver cloth grille). The black and white high-gloss lacquers are finished to the highest standard using paint application techniques developed by premium automotive manufactures. The black and white lacquer finishes are hard to scratch and easy to clean.
Binding Posts: The Cambridge Audio Minx MIN21 satellite speaker is equipped with a pair of binding post terminals. The binding post terminals will accept bare-wire, pin-connectors, and spade-connectors. The terminals are color-coded (black/red) to distinguish between positive and negative. The satellite speaker's binding post terminals can be removed to allow use of banana plugs (single only). The binding post terminals simply pull out of the back of the speaker, which allows access to banana connector inputs.
Mounting Options: The Cambridge Audio Minx MIN21 satellite speakers can be table-top mounted, wall mounted, or placed on a floor-standing speaker stand. The speakers can be positioned vertically or horizontally (based on application and mount-type).
Frequency Response: The Cambridge Audio Minx MIN21 satellite speaker features a 120Hz to 20,000Hz frequency range.
Power Handling: The Cambridge Audio Minx MIN21 satellite speaker can handle 15 to 50 watts (RMS).
Minx X500 Powered Subwoofer: The Cambridge Audio Minx 525 speaker system includes the Cambridge Audio Minx X500 powered subwoofer.
Digital Signal Processor (DSP): The Cambridge Audio X500 powered subwoofer features built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) which allows for smaller cabinet construction without sacrificing bass response.
500W Amplifier: The Cambridge Audio X500 powered subwoofer is equipped with a 300 watt (RMS) digital amplifier for increased efficiency and reliability.
10" Woofer: The Cambridge Audio X500 powered subwoofer uses a one-piece, aerospace-grade aluminum, front-firing 10" cone woofer to move air with incredible efficiency.
Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR): The Cambridge Audio X500 powered subwoofer utilizes a down-firing 10" auxiliary bass radiator (ABR) for greater bass response and better efficiency. The ABR design replaces the need for bass ports to eliminate air noise at higher volume levels.
Frequency Response: The Cambridge Audio X500 powered subwoofer has a rated frequency response of 39-200 Hz.
Controls: The Cambridge Audio X500 powered subwoofer is equipped with the following rear-panel controls.
Connections: The Cambridge Audio X500 powered subwoofer is equipped with the following rear-panel connections.
High-Gloss Finish: The Cambridge Audio X300 powered subwoofer is available in a high-gloss black (with black cloth grille) or high-gloss white finish (with silver cloth grille). The black and white high-gloss lacquers are finished to the highest standard using paint application techniques developed by premium automotive manufactures. The black and white lacquer finishes are hard to scratch and easy to clean.
