Halifax Health, Deltona shake hands on health care deal

DAYTONA BEACH — Halifax Health is proceeding with plans to open a primary care clinic in Deltona, while also negotiating to purchase two more parcels in the city, totaling 34 acres, for $7.5 million.
The Halifax Health Board of Commissioners and the Deltona City Commission approved an agreement Monday pledging to work together to identify future health-care needs in Volusia County's largest city, and to operate the clinic, which would be open to walk-in, non-emergency patients.
In Deltona, commissioners hailed the agreement as good for residents, both in terms of improved health-care services and economic development.
"I also would like to say thank you and personally welcome you to our beautiful city," Vice Mayor Zenaida Denizac said.
Halifax Health CEO Jeff Feasel and other Halifax Health officials said they are responding to a request from Deltona leaders for more health care services. They declined to discuss the specifics of the hospital's plans, such as how many jobs might be created.
"Nothing definite," Feasel said. "We are going to work with the city of Deltona to explore the options."
The Halifax Health board has authorized hospital officials to negotiate for the purchase of 30 acres in north Deltona for an estimated $6 million. The hospital is also eying a 4-acre property in east Deltona with an estimated price tag of $1.5 million.
The hospital has not revealed the exact locations of the properties or how they might be developed.
Halifax Health is planning to open a walk-in clinic at 2090 Saxon Blvd. The hospital is spending $850,000 to purchase a 5,000-square-foot building that previously housed a retail video store and is anticipating it will spend an additional $650,000 to prepare it for business.
Halifax Health and city commissioners approved the agreement Monday to work together to identify future health-care needs in Deltona, such as pediatric and obstetrician-gynecological services, in addition to operating the clinic. Feasel said the clinic will keep people out of the emergency room and provide care for residents suffering from flu-like illnesses and other less serious conditions.
"When you said OB/gyn and pediatrics, you couldn't have said two words that are more necessary in this community," City Commissioner Nancy Schleicher said.
Schleicher asked Feasel whether the Halifax taxing district boundaries would be expanded to include Deltona, which already is taxed by the West Volusia Hospital Authority. Feasel said the Halifax boundaries would remain the same, but the West Volusia taxing district might consider providing funding for indigent care offered at Halifax's facilities in Deltona.
Bill Griffin, director of system research and planning for Halifax Health, said the reasons the health care provider is looking at West Volusia now are twofold. First, Deltona came knocking, and second, the hospital's board challenged hospital leaders to find new revenue-generating opportunities through partnerships and other business ventures to make up for revenue lost when reducing the hospital's tax levy.
The hospital is in the running to partner with Bert Fish Medical Center in New Smyrna Beach, vying with Naples-based Health Management Associates Inc. Halifax Health is working with Jacksonville-based Brooks Rehabilitation to offer rehab services to trauma and stroke victims at its main campus in Daytona Beach.
Meanwhile, the hospital's hospice operation is looking to open a care center in Ormond Beach.

This is a limited edition print (250) that I will personally sign and number. In addition, each print will be accompanied by a letter that my father wrote to his good friend George Lee. In the letter, my father explains the meaning behind each of the plaques that you see on the print and his specific design instructions. The symbols in this fine art print represent Bruce Lee's personal journey of self-cultivation. Specifically designed by my father, the symbols hung on separate plaques in his Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute in Los Angeles. The meaning behind each symbol and the print is revealed in the VLOG below. I hope you will watch. I also included a photo of the meticulous process involved with creating each print. Special thank you to Ngauge and the people at Kolibri Art Studio for all of your hard work!

Reports: Chad Henne signs with Jacksonville Jaguars
Chad Henne signed a two-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday, according multiple reports.
The former Miami Dolphins starter will backup Blaine Gabbert.
Henne was a second-round pick out of Michigan in the 2008 NFL draft. He was 13-18 as a starter with the Dolphins, and completed 60.7 percent of his passes for 7,114 yards.
Henne, who underwent season-ending shoulder surgery last season, threw 31 touchdowns and 37 interceptions during the 36 games he played for Miami.
Henne was first targeted by the New York Jets, but once the team extended the contract of Mark Sanchez last week, signing Henne became less of an option.
Henne also planned this week to visit the Seattle Seahawks.
The Dolphins continue to await word on where free agent star Peyton Manning will sign. He reportedly visited the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, and is considering the Dolphins, the Denver Broncos and the Arizona Cardinals.
Miami still has Matt Moore, but entered the offseason intent on finding an elite starting quarterback.
The Dolphins are still considering Matt Flynn, or possibly selecting a quarterback inn next month's draft.

text: I have seen PLASMA comes with a subset of level 3 BLAS, as DGEMM and DSYRK. Also I know that in order to link the final application a classical BLAS library is needed, but, which BLAS uses PLASMA internally?, its own BLAS routines (dgemm, et al.) or the one comes from the provided standard BLAS (OpenBLAS, ATLAS, etc.)? If its own BLAS routines are not used internally, what is the reason PLASMA_dgemm et al. were created?

Few figures in the history of American popular music have reached the status of Bob Dylan. As the man who showed the world that popular music could be classified as art, Dylan has created a distinctly American body of work to match the legacies of Walt Whitman, Louis Armstrong, and his early musical hero, Woody Guthrie.
Dylan's lyrics and songs unearth and revitalize the American folk and blues tradition, serving as a key link in the chain that extends from Southern work songs, blues and Anglo American ballads to the many contemporary singer-songwriters for whom Dylan is a main influence. But Dylan's story is not simply that of a musical evolution. As a public figure and artistic innovator, he has taken and chronicled a journey emblematic of modern America's own development.
The exhibit explored Dylan's impact with personal artifacts, listening stations and films. The exhibit featured more than 150 artifacts, including Dylan's 1949 Martin 00-19 guitar, typed and handwritten lyrics, rare concert posters and handbills, signed albums and dozens of photographs. At the center of the exhibit were four films exploring different facets of Dylan's career, with rare performance footage and interviews with Dylan and other artists. In addition, three viewing stations allowed visitors to watch excerpts from the Dylan films Don't Look Back and Eat the Document, as well as an interview with Dylan himself. Throughout the exhibit space were seven listening stations that enabled visitors to hear Dylan's musical evolution and innovations during this 10-year period.
The exhibit was curated by Experience Music Project.
"We've been visiting the Rock Hall for three years, about two times per year. Your displays are fabulous and we learn something new each time we're here...It's even allowing us to teach our 9-year-old son about all music...So do we think it's worth a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Dayton, Ohio in the pouring rain? You bet! Rock on." "Wow - This is the music of our lives. This place is awesome - extremely impressive. We grew up on Alan Freed, Bandstand and Cousin Brucie. Keep up the good work - we'll be back."

On October 2, the 2011 FORTUNE Battle of the Corporate Bands competition came to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum for the finals showdown. For the past six months, regional competitions were held in Dallas, San Francisco and Chicago, where corporate bands vied for one of eight finalist slots. Bands from across the country – and one from Venezuela – were awarded coveted spots on the finals stage in Cleveland, representing Mattel, Ernst & Young, GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Progressive Insurance, ConAgra Foods, Starbucks, Resource Interactive, and Procter and Gamble.
The Battle of the Corporate Bands is held each year to salute the best amateur, company-sponsored bands, and is presented by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), FORTUNE magazine and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. The goal of the national competition is to promote the benefits of making music, which have been shown to increase employee morale and improve productivity in the workplace. "Competing in the Corporate Battle of the Bands ranks right up there as one of the best experiences of my life," says Ernst & Young/American PI's Carolyn Powers. "Working with 11 virtual strangers, we created something as a whole infinitely better than anything any of us could have created individually. I am proud to have worked alongside so many passionate and dedicated people. Better yet, the team from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, FORTUNE Magazine, NAMM, Gibson and JBL put together an amazing weekend of food, music and entertainment. Best of all, I can now say, 'I performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!'"
The weekend kicked off Friday night for competing band members and their guests at the House of Blues Cleveland, with electric sets by Dixie Peach and an all-star band featuring Mickey Thomas' Starship bassist Jeff Adams, .38 Special band member Jeff Carlisi, former Billy Joel drummer Liberty DeVitto, Sheryl Crow guitarist Peter Stroud, and Allman Brothers and Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell. To say the least, everyone left inspired.
On Saturday afternoon at the Museum, each band was given a 30-minute practice set to familiarize themselves with the stage setup and dial in their sound. At 7:00 pm, the doors to the Museum opened to a fully catered affair, and the competition kicked into high gear. The panel of judges included Jeff Adams, Jeff Carlisi, Liberty DeVitto, Peter Stroud and Pro-Mark Drumsticks Director of Sales Worldwide Pat Brown.
This marked the Rock Hall's 11th year hosting the battle, and the level of talent these corporate bands bring to the competition continues to impress audiences and bands alike. "The talent level of the other bands coupled with the pride of representing Progressive in our own backyard made for an extremely exciting event," says David Krew of Progressive Insurance and keyboardist in the Messengers. "The Rock Hall puts on a great show, and we were thrilled to be a part of it." The judges deliberated for close to 30 minutes and came back to the stage to announce Mattel / The Toys from El Segundo, California, as third place, Progressive Insurance / The Messengers from Cleveland, Ohio, as second place and Ernst & Young / American PI as the first place winners.
The winning American PI band members (pictured) are full-time employees in Ernst & Young's Advisory Services Performance Improvement (PI). The young rock band was formed last December, just months before their debut gig in February 2011. With band members located across the country, the musicians of American PI hadn't rehearsed since the regional finals in San Francisco. Rehearsals in Cleveland brought the band back together, as they honed their sound as a team, building on individual strengths to form a single, dynamic group. "Along the way we went from being strangers in the same firm, to colleagues working together, to bandmates, to friends – and we felt it the entire week in Cleveland preparing for the competition" says Ernst & Young/American PI's Kevin Grassi. "We became a family. The connections we've made through music are deep and personal. It's not easy for a large band to jell, and to have found 'musical soul mates' in a professional colleague is truly amazing."As the winning band, Ernst & Young/American PI have been invited to come back to Cleveland in April 2012 to participate in some of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Induction festivities as well as to attend the ceremony.
"Performing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a dream come true for our band," says Ernst & Young/American PI's Tom Cucuzza. "Since our inception, the music we have chosen to play has been exclusively based on the music of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees. Our warm-up set and competition set on Saturday were a homage to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, so performing these songs at the Rock Hall had extra significance to all of the band members." The band's set at the competition included songs by Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield and the Allman Brothers Band. "Playing the Allman Brothers' 'Blue Sky' at the Rock Hall on Saturday afternoon was a highlight for the band, particularly when it was evident that we 'stopped traffic' in the Rock Hall as visitors were gathered around all of the railings and balconies during that performance."
Winners in the "Best of" categories were:
Thanks to all of the bands for their hard work, commitment and passion for Rock and Roll. It was a pleasure to host these fantastic musicians and we hope to see them all back here next year!
The event was sponsored by JBL by Harman and Gibson Guitar and proceeds from the competition benefit the Rock Hall's educational activities.

Why Union?
Why Union's Nursing Program?
Come to Union, and we'll be happy to tell you all about how wonderful our nursing program is. However, the best way for you to learn about Union's nursing program is to hear it from the graduates themselves. If you would like to be a part of the Division of Nursing at Union College, apply today.
"I loved the Union College Nursing Program because of the unique, caring atmosphere." ~Rachel Downey, '13
"My favorite part of the nursing program was the people. By the end of school, we feel like such a family, not only to our fellow students but to our instructors, too." ~Allison Thomas, '13
"My favorite aspect of the nursing program at Union was the professors. It was obvious that they were passionate about nursing and helping others learn. They were there to help us all learn how to be better people and nurses. I am definitely proud to say I graduated from the nursing program at Union. They have a reputation for being great and producing great nurses! I felt that the nursing program was a step above the rest and that it made me a better person and a better leader. " ~Marla Hawronsky, '09
"I loved the Union College Nursing Program because it was very personal. The instructors really get to know you and connect with you to individualize the learning experience. They work with each student to ensure they achieve success." ~Misha Sisodia, '13
"I had a great experience at Union. In school, I can remember feeling so frustrated writing out my medication cards for clinicals, or trying to figure out how on earth an abnormal lab value related to my patient's diagnosis. But now I am so glad that I had to do that, because every day at work I need to know what the medications I am giving are for and what side effects I should look out for. I actually still make medication cards to review on my day off (nerdy, right?). At the end of my orientation at my job, my preceptor told me that she could tell I went to a good nursing school because I had such a good base of nursing knowledge, clinical skills, organization and confidence. So thank you, Union, for giving me a good foundation to build on. . . . Even at the end of a very long and crazy night of work, I can honestly say that I love my job." ~Lauren Clark, '10
"Union College provided me with an excellent education, giving me sound building blocks for starting my career. I loved the environment that has been fostered in the nursing program at Union. You will be challenged more than you can imagine, but the rewards will more than make up the difference." ~Jason Odenthal, '10
Make the nursing program part of your story!

|Four Vandals are champs
ARLINGTON, Texas – The Idaho men's and women's track teams crowned four individual Western Athletic Conference champions and had nine first-team all-WAC and five second-team all-WAC performances on the third day of the WAC outdoor track and field championships in Arlington, Texas, and both teams find themselves in second place heading into the final day.
Hannah Kiser set the track record in her first 10,000 meter race with a 35:20.35 to take gold, while Barry Britt ran the same race in 31:42.77 for a 10-second victory on the men's side.
"On the track, sweeping the 10k was pretty exciting," Idaho track and field coach Wayne Phipps said. "With two very well established runners you might say it's not so surprising, but it's easier said than done. In the 10k anything can happen and it's a very competitive field on both sides. I'm excited for both Hannah and Barry."
Jeremy Klas won the men's pole vault with a school record vault of 5.36 meters, while Kristine Leonard tossed a personal best 49.59 meters in the discus to take gold.
Klas wasn't the only Vandal vaulter to find success. Matt Sullivan earned first-team all-WAC honors in the event with a third place finish after a vault of 4.96 meters. Dylan Watts finished fourth with his jump of 4.71 meters to take home second-team all-WAC honors.
"Our guy vaulters, Jeremy Klas winning and Matt Sullivan competing with what was originally thought to be a broken wrist and getting third was amazing," Phipps said.
Freshman Halie Raudenbush took third in the women's steeplechase with a time of 11:03.51 to pick up first-team all-WAC honors, and on the men's side, freshman Nathan Stark took home fifth in the steeplechase for second-team all-WAC honors with a time of 9:32.69.
"I'm really excited for those two freshmen," Phipps said of his steeplechase performers. "Halie Riedenbush getting first-team all-WAC in the steeplechase, an absolutely new event for her, and same thing with Nathan Starke, who was a 400 runner in high school and we thought it would be a good idea to try the steeplechase and he ends up getting second-team all-WAC, so I'm really excited for them."
Also turning first-team all-WAC performances for the Vandals were Alyssa Covington, who finished third with a leap of 5.86 in the long jump, Sarah Nutsch, whose heave of 56.88 meters in the hammer throw was second, and Mike Marshall, who finished second in the men's hammer throw with a toss of 66.76 meters.
Idaho's second-team honoree's also include Ugis Svas, who took fourth in the men's javelin with a throw of 64.97, Jason Lorentz, who took sixth in the men's long jump with a 7.34 meter leap, and Johanna Hocketstaller, who finished sixth in the women's discuss with a throw of 47.04 meters.
Several Vandals qualified for Saturday's finals in preliminary track events on Friday. Liga Velvere's 58.83 in the women's 400m hurdles was the top qualifying time, as was Lauren Schaffer's 2:08.07 in the women's 800m. Keli Hall also qualified in the women's 800m with a 2:12.87. Marquita Palmer and Anna Kalbrener each qualified for the finals in the women's 1500 meter run. Karlene Hurrel earned the final qualifying spot in both the women's 100m and 200m, with an 11.92 in the 100m and a 24.38 in the 200m.
"Karlene Hurrel making the finals in both the 100 and 200 when she wasn't projected to was huge," Phipps said.
On the men's side, Jeff Osborn and Colton Hastings earned a spot in the finals in the 1500, Ben Ayesu-Attah and Andrew Bloom did so in the 400 meter, Kyle Tylor qualified in the 800 and Jesse Villines and Blake Gerling qualified in the men's 400 hurdles.
Both Vandal teams are in second place in the meet entering the final day on Saturday. The men have 56 points, and trail UT Arlington, which has 76. Utah State and Texas State are tied for third on the men's side with 44 points each. The Idaho women have 48 points, and trail Texas State's 74. UTA is in third with 39 and UTSA has 38.
"For both men and women we're pretty happy with where we are right now," Phipps said. "There are always going to be ups and downs. We had a few events on the guy's side where we were projected to score a few more points than we did, but then we rebounded in a couple other events. It's pretty much the same on the women's side. Tomorrow sets up very well. We got more people into finals, especially on the women's side than projected, but we snuck a couple guys in there as well."
Field events begin at 9 a.m. (PT) on Saturday and the meet concludes with the men's 1600-meter relay on Saturday evening.

The Main Exhibition Hall of The Huntington's historic library building features, "Remarkable Works, Remarkable Times: Highlights from the Huntington Library."

The library is one of the largest and most in-depth independent research libraries in the United States in its fields of specialization: British and American history, literature, art, and the history of science stretching from the 11th century to the present. "Remarkable Works, Remarkable Times," highlights about 150 objects from the library's collection, which currently numbers nearly 9 million items. The exhibition is organized around 12 key objects, each anchoring a section. The display includes the Ellesmere manuscript of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the Gutenberg Bible, Shakespeare's First Folio, John James Audubon's Birds of America, and Henry David Thoreau's manuscript of Walden.

Once the house of Henry E. Huntington (1850–1927) and his second wife,
Arabella (1850–1924), the Huntington Art Gallery opened in 1928
displaying what was then the greatest collection of 18th-century
British art in the country, including the celebrated Blue Boy by Thomas
Gainsborough and Pinkie by Thomas Lawrence. Since then the collections
have grown enormously and now contain many great works of art of the
Italian, French and Netherlandish schools, as well as a much broader
range of British art and design from the 17th to the early 20th century.
a $20 million renovation, the gallery offers visitors an enhanced
experience with one of the finest collections of European art in the
nation as well as a more accurate sense of the lifestyle of one of the
most prominent millionaires of the early 20th century. In addition to a
thoroughly updated infrastructure, the refurbished mansion includes
5,300 additional square feet of public space, new interpretive
components, and new gallery presentations of approximately 1,200
objects of European art from the 15th to the early 20th century. MORE
First opened in 1984, and expanded in 2009, The Huntington's Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art has expanded again into a 5,400-square-foot space in the Lois and Robert F. Erburu wing that was previously used for storage. Recent major acquisitions, such as a carved organ screen by Depression-era African American artist Sargent Claude Johnson (1888–1967), The Locomotive by Reginald Marsh (1898–1954), and Global Loft (Spread) - pictured at right- by Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008), join loans and works from The Huntington's permanent collection to tell an expanded story of American art from the colonial period to the 20th century. MORE
Located in the Library Exhibition Hall, "Beautiful Science: Ideas that Changed the World" showcases some
of science's greatest achievements, from Ptolemy to Copernicus, Newton
to Einstein. The 2,800-square-foot Dibner Hall of the History of
Science comes as a result of the marriage of The Huntington's history
of science materials with the Burndy Library, a 67,000-volume
collection of rare books and manuscripts donated to The Huntington in
2006 by the Dibner family of Connecticut. The exhibition highlights four areas of
exploration: astronomy, natural history, medicine, and light. A gallery
on each focuses on the changing role of science over time, particularly
the astonishing leaps in imagination made by scientists over the years
and the importance of written works in communicating those ideas. Works
in the exhibition represent centuries of thought, showing how knowledge
has become more refined over time. MORE
The Dorothy Collins Brown Wing of the Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art is devoted to the work of early 20th-century Pasadena architects Charles Sumner and Henry Mather Greene. Synonymous with the Arts & Crafts Movement in Southern California, their insistence upon fine craftsmanship, houses and furniture harmonized as single artistic expressions, and the use of the highest-quality materials set new levels of excellence. This approach belonged to a larger cultural movement that began in England in response to the Industrial Revolution.
The Huntington's exhibition, organized in collaboration with the Gamble House/University of Southern California, has three parts. The main hall features the full spectrum and evolution of the Greenes' artistic genius, with examples of their designs for furniture and decorative arts. The second part is the reassembled stairway from the 1905 Arthur A. Libby house, and the third part of the exhibition is a recreation of the dining room of the Henry M. Robinson House, designed and built in Pasadena between 1905 and 1907.

Testimony before the Subcommittee on Legislative Branch, Committee on Appropriations, U.S. House of Representatives
Thank you for the opportunity to present the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO's) budget request for fiscal year 2013. CBO's mission is to provide the Congress with objective, impartial, and nonpartisan analyses of budget and economic issues, including the information and cost estimates needed for the Congressional budget process. In fulfilling that mission, CBO depends on a highly skilled workforce. About 92 percent of CBO's budget represents compensation for the agency's staff; another 5 percent is for information technology (IT) equipment and services; and the remainder is for data, training, office supplies, and other items. As a result, the contours of CBO's budget and the staffing levels of the agency have been and will continue to be closely linked.
CBO's proposed budget for fiscal year 2013 is $44.6 million. In light of the budget constraints facing the federal government, this request represents an increase of only 1.9 percent ($850,000) from the $43.8 million provided to CBO in fiscal year 2012 and an increase of only 1.2 percent ($555,000) from the regular appropriation of $44.1 million provided to CBO in fiscal year 2009.
Operating the agency in fiscal year 2013 with only slightly more funding than was provided for this fiscal year and little more than was obligated four years earlier would be possible only through a further reduction in the number of CBO analysts; minimal increases in salaries; and sharp cutbacks in spending on IT, data, training, and other items. Although CBO will continue to make every effort to serve the Congress as effectively as possible, the changes that would be required under the proposed budget would unavoidably diminish the number of estimates and analyses of budget and economic policies that CBO was able to provide.

Migration and development have emerged as a pressing policy priority on the global agenda. This report identifies critical lessons from the past decade of policy experimentation and offers recommendations for migration and development policy.
The impact of climate change as a driver of human migration is expected by many to dwarf all others. Still, certain frequently repeated forecasts of the number of people who stand to be displaced by climate change are not informed by a complete understanding of migration dynamics, as this report explains.
الأردنية ودعم اقتصاده. وابتدأت العَمالة غير العربية الآتية من آسيا بالزيادة في السنوات الأخيرة في الأردن، وبالأخص من سريلانكا والفِليبّين.
Migrants from the Philippines and Sri Lanka have taken on a growing role in filling labor shortages in Jordan, leading to significant challenges surrounding the recruitment of these foreign workers. Based on interviews with government officials in sending and receiving countries and focus groups with migrants, the report analyzes the role of private recruitment agencies and points to oversight gaps.
The report examines U.S. immigration and international development policies, which have unique objectives and respond to distinct political and administrative constraints, and points out that international development has never been a U.S. immigration policy objective; nonetheless, it is an unintended consequence.

The Dover Art League and Downtown Dover Partnership are collaborating to bring new visitors to the downtown corridor with some seasonal First Friday activities.
This Friday, as the Downtown Dover Merchants celebrates First Friday beginning at 5 p.m. on Loockerman Way, children can navigate through a straw maze donated by TA Farms, LLC of Wyoming.
To add to the fun, the Dover Art League is sponsoring a free craft activity and complimentary temporary tattoos for children through 7 p.m.
Pumpkin painting will also be available – free for children thanks to the donations of Fifer Orchards, in Camden.
A professional photographer will be on hand to capture images of participants alongside interactive art displays of artist Joyce Lapp. Electronic photos will be made available to the public at no charge.
"We are eager to decorate Loockerman Way Plaza with all our fall decorations," said Dover Art League President Tammy Miller. "I can't wait to see the excitement this brings to the children."
As part of each First Friday event, the participating Downtown Dover Merchants adopt a local not-for-profit organization through the "First Friday Gives Back" program. Danny Palmer, of TA Farms, has donated 50 mums to benefit October's adopted non-profit, Cancer Support Community Delaware. These mums will be given away to the first 50 people that donate at least $5 to the cause.
For more information, you can contact the Downtown Dover Partnership at (302) 678-2940, email@example.com or via www.downtowndoverpartnership.com. The Dover Art League can be reached at (302) 674-0402, email@example.com or www.doverartleague.com.

Castle Douglas : Michelin's recommendations
Located to the north of Loch Carlingwark, this inland market town has an auctioneering operation and serves the area's farming industry. The town acquired its perpendicular layout in the 18C. Its name also dates from that period, in honour of a local merchant, Sir William Douglas (1745-1809), who made his fortune in the West Indies, before acquiring land in the area and creating the town's cotton industry.

If I have a weak spot, it's my right hip. When I run, it's the first place I hurt. And at the end of the day, lying in bed, it's often the source of a dull, can't-get-comfortable ache. I'm not exactly sure how I injured it, but it happened around the time I was working at a job two hours away. I blame the crummy seats on New York's ancient commuter trains.
A doctor I consulted about the pain told me that the culprit, in my case, is a short, squat, deeply buried muscle called the piriformis. It's practically impossible to reach the thing to give it a nice massage. You can rub your feet when they hurt; your piriformis, not so much. The only thing that makes mine feel better is the yoga pose called pigeon. (If a yoga teacher has ever told you that you have "tight hips," then you know what I'm talking about.)
The doctor sent me to a physical therapist, who gave me a collection of exercises to strengthen the muscles around the hip. I love this idea—exercises to support my weak parts. These days, I do the regimen every Monday as part of my weight training. I suffer through 30 leg lifts on both sides, then lying on my front and back, and then a rather torturous little exercise called a clamshell. Ouch. Doing the exercises consistently has helped—I no longer get shooting pains down my leg (shooting pains = get medical attention ASAP).
I've been moaning about my hips for long enough—mostly to blank stares from my non-running friends—that I felt incredibly vindicated when I read the story in the March 2012 issue of More about how important the hips are. The story opens with a 40-year-old woman whose hips are giving her problems, and I wanted to reach out and hug her.
I feel your pain, sister!
It turns out that weak hips are often the source of lower back and knee pain because of the role our hips play in keeping us balanced and aligned. The story suggests two easy exercises, standing variations on the movements I've been doing. Next stop, I surrender to resistance bands. Stay tuned. (That was a message to my hips.)

The American Institute of Architects Detroit's Urban Priorities Committee (AIA-UPC) is conducting a design competition to redesign the riverfront of Detroit. The competition will focus on the area between Cobo Hall and the Renaissance Center and between Jefferson Avenue and the Detroit River. This section of Riverfront which includes Hart Plaza is at the heart of the city. The major streets from the radial street plan created by Augustus Woodward (based on L'Enfant's layout of Washington D.C.) intersect just north of this site. The program is direct and purposefully vague with the intention of generating creative solutions. Design solutions can be approached from an architectural, urban planning or artistic perspective.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wild one I love this candle, its so cool. The only suggestion it to make sure you have a bottle that is skinny enough. I felt like I wasted part of mine the first time beccause i used a bottle that was too wide April 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Coco~a~gogo WOW I got mine at the store for 2.99. Surprised to see them for so much on website. November 23, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by LinsRenee SSSSOOOO NEAT!! I always burn long candles on a wine bottle during warm months when outside. These candles are too neat- and are enjoyable. The only think I do not like is that they burn too quickly. I also bought these in the store and they were only [$]... I would not have paid the 7 something online for them. May 4, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by shopgirltn7 Okay, but not great I liked the fact that these candles had different colors within one candle, they just seem to run 'thin'. I'm not sure how many set's I'll have to buy in order to have a nice presence on my chianti bottle. April 24, 2013

Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 9:48 a.m.
EnergyUnited and North Carolina's electric cooperatives are looking for teachers to receive Bright Ideas education grants for the 2013-14 school year.
Grants of up to $2,000 will be awarded directly to educators for creative, hands-on classroom projects that may not otherwise be funded. There has been $600,000 pledged for funding the state's teachers.
Applications will be accepted April 1 through Sept. 20. Teachers who submit their applications by the early bird deadline of Aug. 16 will be entered to win a $500 Visa gift card.
To apply, educators must include a budget, explain the creative elements, implementation, goals and evaluation of the project, and have approval from the school principal. Applications will be judged in a competitive evaluation process, and judges will be on the lookout for projects that feature innovation and creativity. The application, grant-writing tips and examples of past winning proposals can be found at www.ncbrightideas.com.
North Carolina's electric cooperatives created the Bright Ideas grant program in 1994 to improve education by engaging students in meaningful learning projects that encourage creative approaches. Since then, North Carolina's electric cooperatives have contributed more than $8.5 million for 8,300 projects benefiting more than 1.5 million students.

Men's Track 7th at Sykes & Sabock; Franklin 2nd at Armory Meet
Sykes & Sabock Results
Armory Collegiate Results
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (2/2/13) - The Princeton track & field team finished seventh at Penn State's Sykes & Sabock Challenge Cup on Saturday, Feb. 2.
The team scored 43 points in the 12-team meet.
Junior Tom Hopkins was the runner up in the 400. He ran 47.58, faster than 29 other competitors. Hopkins made up one leg of the Tigers' 4x400 relay that placed third. He along with sophomores Tom Scott and Bradley Paternostro, and senior Austin Hollimon clocked a 3:16.32. Hollimon, who competed in the US Olympic Trials this summer, scored in the 600 as he ran 1:21.26 to finish in seventh place.
The Tigers got nine points in the 800 as they placed 5-6-7. Senior Peter Callahan was the first across at 1:51.35 and was followed by junior Michael Williams at 1:51.41 and senior Russell Dinkins at 1:52.25.
Dinkins was on the DMR that was third as well. He was joined on the relay by junior Tyler Udland ,and freshmen Sam Berger and Brian Poirier.
Another third-place finish belonged to freshman Brett Kelly in the 3000. Kelly clocked an 8:28.42 in the event.
Senior Michael Palmisano scored in the mile with a time of 4:06.80. It marked a PR for Palmisano as he shaved nearly six seconds off his previous best time. Incidentally, it was a Tiger than won the event. Princeton alum Mark Amirault '11 ran 4:03.40 as he finishes his eligibility and earns a master's at Virginia.
In the field events, junior David Coneway was a scorer in the pole vault. Coneway cleared 4.65 (15-3) for the points.
The Tigers took a break at Sykes & Sabock to watch teammate senior Michael Franklin run the 3000 at the Armory Collegiate as it was webstreamed online. Franklin finished second in the race with a PR of 8:04.59 behind Henry Lelei of Texas A&M, who finished fifth at the NCAA Cross Country Championship this year.
Princeton will split off again next weekend as they compete at the Husky Invitational and host HYP on Saturday, Feb. 9.

Fox Searchlight is very busy at Sundance '11.
With this offering, they bring world of Tom Lippe (Ed Helms), an insurance salesman who is as naive and straight-laced as they come ...but his innocence doesn't last long.
When Tom is asked to go to an annual insurance convention in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he has no idea what's in store.
The talents of John C. Reilly, Stephen Root and Rob Corrdory are showcased here riffing their way through the convention.
I spoke with Helms after the movie and he said the improv not only made the final cut for the comedic bits, but the dramatic moments as well. Helms developed the story and has executive producer credits.
Cedar Rapids will open nationwide in February. I'd say wait to see it then and catch the flicks that may not make it beyond Sundance.
Not knocking Cedar Rapids as it's a hell of a good time, but your money might be better spent seeing this film next month for a third of the price.

Who has the Munchies? I certainly do, well, did, before I wrote this review. Aside from the common snack attack, Munchies are a candy available in the United Kingdom and made by Nestle. I didn't know quite what they were at first when I spied them in an import store. I was certainly perplexed by the long square-shaped roll. What could possible be inside? Plus, the name is so cute!
I admit I find the packaging very fetching, and I like the fact they display the nutritional facts very prominently on the front. I'm downing 273 calories by eating these, yay!
So what exactly are Munchies? My prompt tearing into the package to find out quickly answered my question. They're caramel filled chocolates with a small crunchy bit of shortbread biscuit on the bottom. The size and proportions are similar to Rolos, but these are square with line designs on top. Dare to be square!
The chocolate is sweet and slightly malty tasting. The caramel is flowing and sticky and delivers a good burst of extra sweetness with some milky notes. The shortbread center is crunchy and very buttery and blends beautifully with the caramel and chocolate. It's a great texture contrast: smooth chocolate, chewy, thick caramel and crunchy biscuit.
I was impressed with sturdy these are, as they survived a trip from the UK to Los Angeles where I bought them. Then back in my suitcase to New Jersey, all the time remaining intact.
The flavors aren't anything especially more special than anything I can find on candy shelves here in the States. But the addition of the biscuit base does make them unique enough for me to pick up more next time I see them.
Rating: Will Buy Again

Africa (sub-Saharan)
Africa (sub-Saharan)
Recent Activity
Since 2003, at least 200,000 people by UN estimates have been killed in Sudan's Darfur region, and more than two million have been displaced. Unfortunately, 2006 brought the crisis to new depths as the ethnic violence continued and spread into neighboring Chad. The number of refugees and internally displaced has grown, heightening concerns about destabilization in Chad and the Central African Republic.
Recent Activity
More than half of all the states in the world, countries of immigration as well as emigration, now tolerate some form or element of dual citizenship. This report goes beyond statistical trends to the heart of these changes and how best to think through the policy answers.
This report identifies features of remittances that make them ideal leveraging agents for poverty reduction and migration management agendas, and proposes a four-part international research and policy agenda for maximizing the development impact of international remittances.
This report draws from the existing body of knowledge surrounding circular migration to identify: research gaps, shortcomings of common policy routes, innovative circular migration policies, and critical considerations for policymakers seeking to design and implement positive circular migration schemes.
For an increasing number of scholars, international migration has undergone a transformation particularly in the last decade or so. Although circular migration's impact on development is far from settled, a review of the current literature suggests increasing optimism about its developmental potential.
Previously confined to everyday conversations among migrants and their families, remittances are now on the minds of most governments, members of civil society, the international community, and, to some extent, the private sector. The continued deficiency in our understanding of some of the fundamental aspects of remittances is evident in current literature.
This report seeks to bring new light to the issues of migration by sea—particularly the interception and rescue of "boat people"—by synthesizing key discussion takeaways from an international forum of policymakers, international organizations, NGO representatives, and academics.
This volume finds that while emigration may be beneficial in some cases, unhindered high-skilled emigration, particularly in the case of sub-Saharan Africa, can have disastrous consequences. The author, Arno Tanner, recommends specific policies where carefully targeted development measures could be used to mitigate the negative consequences of brain drain.
This report looks at what, over time, has determined the various departmental or ministerial locations of migration policy decision-making in different states.

Window Cleaning Platform
A Window Cleaning Platform is a platform that can ascend and descend the faces of skyscrapers and other large buildings to clean windows. In Grand Theft Auto IV, window cleaning platforms are operable and featured on several buildings in Liberty City. Window cleaning platforms are used in three missions in GTA IV (Blood Brothers, Deconstruction for Beginners, and Late Checkout) in which they are used to ascend buildings to gain a good sniping position or advantageous assault/escape. Window platforms can also be used outside of missions. The player can control the movement (up or down) of the platform to ascend to the top of buildings. On the website Whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com there is a forum post showing the location of all the platforms thought the city. A non-operable wooden Window Cleaning Platform is also present on the San Fierro Tower in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Sept. 24, 2010
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Former Arizona State star shortstop Andrew Romine became the 97th Sun Devil to play Major League Baseball when he started at shortstop for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Friday night against the Chicago White Sox at Angels Stadium.
Romine hit .282 for the AA Arkansas Travelers this season, collecting 108 hits and 21 stolen bases. He was named both a Texas League Mid-Season and Post-Season All-Star in his fourth year of Minor League baseball. He led all Texas League shortstops with a .972 fielding percentage.
Romine played for ASU from 2005 to 2007, batting .304 in his 144 career games. He missed half of the 2006 season after suffering a blood clot in his shoulder, but returned to help lead Arizona State to the postseason. Andrew totaled 146 hits, 77 RBI and 40 stolen bases during his career, twice playing in the College World Series. He was named an Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 choice in both 2005 and 2007. Romine was a fifth round pick of the Angels in the 2007 draft. Andrew and his father Kevin, who starred at ASU in the early 80's, become the first Sun Devil father-son tandem to play at both ASU and in the Major Leagues.
Romine becomes the sixth Sun Devil to make his MLB debut in 2010, joining Eric Sogard (Oakland Athletics), Mike Leake (Cincinnati Reds), Ike Davis (New York Mets), Colin Curtis (New York Yankees) and Brett Wallace (Houston Astros). Romine was teammates with all of them at some point during his Sun Devil career. The six Sun Devils to make their Major League debuts in 2010 ties an all-time school record for most Arizona State MLB debuts in a single year, joining 1978.

Editors from SLMag this week had a rare opportunity to visit the hidden treasures, as we dubbed them, of the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Most of the UMFA's permanent collection is stored underground. We even had a burly security guard following us around on the tour to deter an Indiana Jones impulse to snatch an ancient Chinese porcelain and make a run for it.
These aren't by any means lost works of art, simply pieces that don't often get into the public galleries above. Museums today are considered a kind of entertainment—the public flocks to travelling blockbuster exhibits featuring ancient pharoahs or gruesome body parts. It's easy to forget that the heart and soul of a museum often lies elsewhere, in its permanent collection that may seldom be put on public view.
The UMFA has more than 20,000 pieces of art stored in climate-controlled, geophysically protected safeness below the museum on the UofU campus, so its understandable that much of it is seldom, if ever, seen by the public.
We met museum staff and volunteers who are meticulously cleaning, photographing and cataloging a collection of textiles of upwards of 300 pieces that includes many spectacular 1920-1930s Navajo blankets. Plus the occasional surprise.
"It's amazing," said Conservator Robyn Haynie of a spectacular example of a thangka silk fabric with repeating Buddhas that had been unrolled. "You'll find these kinds of pieces randomly."
Fabrics take meticulous care to catalog and store—in this case, the painted thangka should never have been rolled in the first place. Once it is flattened, cleaned and cataloged, it will be stored properly flat. Other fabrics require carefully controlled levels of light and humidity to preserve them.
And in the end, preservation is what a museum is all about.
In other parts of the underground and unseen by the public museum, we were treated to glimpses of posters, contemporary art works, impossibly delicate porcelain figurines, furniture and Asian carving. All of it was carefully sequestered and protected. Truth be told, some of it is quite ugly. But beauty is in the eye of the collector, and museums are fed more by bequeathed collections than by acquisition.
"You can see why we have to limit what we accept," said Jennifer Ortiz, collections manager (below with thangka) who is overseeing the cleaning and cataloging of the textile collection.
It's painstaking, even tedious, work—going over each piece inch by inch—recording its thread count, confirming its provenance, cleaning it with tiny, gentle vacuum cleaners and screens. But getting these textiles catalogued will improve their chances of making it into a future exhibition above ground. Meaning you may get a glimpse of UMFA's hidden treasures.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Fruit & Nut Trees
Seaberry (page 2 of 2)
by Lewis and Nancy Hill
Grow Them by Land or by Sea
Seaberries are easy to grow and require little space. Because male and female flowers grow on separate plants, you need at least one of each sex to produce fruit. Flowers are pollinated mostly by wind, so space plants closely: 6 to 8 feet apart in rows, or 3 feet apart as a hedge. One male (distinguished by its larger flower buds) can pollinate five or six females.
Plant seaberries in spring in full sun. They grow in most soils, even sand or gravel, tolerate both seashore and road salt, and withstand drought well. They seem to do best in a well-drained soil (pH between 5.5 and 7.5). A thick organic mulch, renewed each spring with compost or manure, should supply all the other nutrients they need and protect the shallow roots. Seaberries grow quickly and usually bear their first fruits two to three years after planting. Some varieties produce 30 to 50 pounds of fruit per shrub annually, but it may take several years to reach maximum production.
Seaberries need little pruning, unless you want to train them into bushy shrubs or shapely small trees. From time to time, cut out damaged or unproductive branches. Prune in fall after harvesting the berries in late summer. The plants resist most diseases and insects, so spraying is seldom necessary.
Harvest berries when they are fully colored but still firm. Although birds like to nest in the shrubs, they aren't keen on ripe berries, so netting isn't usually necessary. Pick the berries by hand, or if the bushes are large, cut some of the branches and shake off the berries. This technique keeps the plant small and berries within reach for easy harvesting.
Seaberry Juice
Wash the fruits, then puree them (or crush them with a potato masher). Strain the juice, discarding the seeds and pulp. Measure the juice (2-1/2 pounds of berries yield about 1 quart of juice) into a large pot, and heat to 120° F. Mix 1 part sugar or honey to 6 parts liquid, and continue heating until the sugar dissolves. Pour into sterilized bottles, and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for up to six months. For a light, refreshing drink, mix the seaberry juice with other fruit juices, such as apple, orange, or raspberry, and soda water to taste.

Per Virtual Machine FAQ
Per VM Pricing and Licensing for Select vCenter Products
This FAQs document provides information for existing VMware customers who are interested in learning about the new Per Virtual Machine (VM) licensing model that was announced on July 13, 2010 for specific vCenter products.
What is VMware announcing?
Because cloud management requires greater flexibility, licensing models for cloud management products need to be adapted to better match how customers use those products. Starting on September 1, 2010, several existing VMware vCenter products, including vCenter AppSpeed , vCenter Chargeback and vCenter Site Recovery Manager, will begin to be sold and licensed on a per virtual machine basis. vCenter CapacityIQ will move to a per virtual machine licensing model in late 2010 or early 2011. These products will transition from the existing per processor licensing model.
Why is VMware changing its management products to a per VM licensing model?
Cloud makes applications location and hardware independent, changing the traditional model of one application to one server. In the cloud, management software maps to the virtual machine rather than the underlying processor. This makes per VM the ideal metric for the cloud: cloud management requires a flexible licensing model that matches how customers will manage resources that are abstracted from the underlying hardware.
What products will transition to per VM and when will the per VM licenses be available for purchase?
VMware vCenter AppSpeed, vCenter Chargeback and vCenter Site Recovery Manager will be available per VM beginning 9/1/2010. vCenter CapacityIQ per VM licenses will be available starting in late 2010 or early 2011.
How long can I continue to buy per processor licenses?
If you have purchased per processor licenses and wish to continue with this model, you will also be able to continue purchasing per processor licenses through December 15, 2010. However, after December 15, 2010, you will only be able to buy per VM licenses for vCenter AppSpeed, CapacityIQ, Chargeback and Site Recovery Manager.
Can I continue using my existing per processor licenses?
Yes. You can continue to use the per processor licenses you already own. You can continue to renew VMware Support and Subscription (SnS) for the per processor licenses using the same renewal terms as when you initially purchased the products.
Is vSphere or vCenter Server licensing affected by the per VM change?
No. VMware vSphere (all editions and kits), vCenter Server and vCenter Server Heartbeat will continue to be under their current licensing models. VMware is moving to per VM for the vCenter family as there as pricing for managed objects is a well-established model for management software. Based on market response and the evolution of cloud computing, VMware may consider a per VM offering for vSphere in the future.
If I have per processor licenses, will I be able to trade them in for per VM licenses?
Yes. If you own per processor licenses for vCenter AppSpeed, CapacityIQ, Chargeback or Site Recovery Manager, you will be eligible to exchange those licenses for per VM licenses.
What is the benefit of converting to per VM licenses?
Per VM is the ideal metric for the cloud: cloud management requires a flexible licensing model that matches how you manage resources that are abstracted from the underlying hardware. Per VM licensing gives you the flexibility to apply the right amount of management to each VM, and have the management capability follow the VM without worrying about whether the hardware is licensed appropriately.
I want to convert my licenses. What is the process?
To initiate a conversion request, you should complete a Customer Service Request.
When you submit your request, please provide:
- The primary license administrator's name a e-mail address
- Products that you would like to convert to per VM
- The contract or order numbers, if known
- License keys, if available
Alternatively, or if you have additional questions, call 877-4VMWARE and choose licensing support. (Or visit the Phone page for international phone numbers.)
Note that VMware will only accept requests from the primary license administrator. Once you have submitted a request online, you will be given a case number. You will be contacted by a conversion specialist within one business day to start the conversion process.
Is there any cost for the license conversion?
No. There is no cost to convert per processor to per VM licenses.
When I convert per processor licenses, how many per VM licenses will I receive?
Information about conversion ratios can be found here.
Do I need to deactivate my per processor licenses before using new per VM licenses?
The converted licenses will deactivated during the conversion process. When you submit a conversion request, VMware Customer Support will provide instructions on the conversion process.
I want to buy additional per VM licenses. How much will new per VM licenses cost?
Effective September 1, 2010, you will be able to begin buying per VM licenses. These products will be sold in packs of 25 virtual machine licenses. This is a more cost-effective way for customers to implement the management products since it eliminates the need to license them on a per processor basis. See current pricing.
How will I know how many per VM licenses I need?
Reporting in vCenter Server will allow you to see the total number of virtual machines deployed and managed by a specific vCenter product.
Can I split a per VM license pack and use it across multiple sites?
Yes. Per VM license packs can be split or combined through the VMware licensing portal.
What criteria will be used to determine if a VM requires a management license for a specific product?
A license will be required for each managed VM – this is based on the number of VMs that the specific product is managing and is detailed in the product EULA (End User License Agreement). The table below summarizes how managed VMs are measured for each product.
|Managed VM Definition
vCenter Site Recovery Manager
Any VM that is part of a SRM protection group, regardless of power state (defined as a "Protected VM")
vCenter AppSpeed
Any powered-on VM that is actively monitored by AppSpeed
vCenter CapacityIQ
Any powered-on VM managed by CapacityIQ
vCenter Chargeback
Any powered-on VM in a Chargeback hierarchy
How do I know if I have enough licenses and am in compliance?
A quick glance at the vCenter License Reporting Manager screen (depicted below) will help you determine if you are in compliance. As displayed in the screen shot below, the licensing manager in vCenter Server 4.1 will provide information on both the "Average Usage" (the average maximum number of VMs) and the "Current License Capacity", as well as the "% Average Usage," which represents the percentage of licenses consumed. Additionally, you will receive an alert in vCenter Server if the "Average Usage" exceeds the "Current License Capacity."
What do I do if I receive an alert that I have exceeded my license capacity?
Contact your reseller or VMware representative to discuss your licensing requirements.
What are the product requirements for using per VM licenses?
Per VM licensing is only supported by AppSpeed 1.5, Chargeback 1.5 and Site Recovery Manager 4.1 or newer versions of those products. CapacityIQ will require the upcoming release or a newer version to support the per VM licensing. These versions work with either per VM or per processor license keys. Earlier versions of these products cannot be used with per VM license keys.
License keys are managed through vCenter Server. vCenter Server 4.1 or later is required to support per VM licenses. It will also support per processor licenses for all products. vCenter Server 4.0 and earlier versions will not accept per VM license keys for the products mentioned above.
Can I use per processor and per VM licenses at the same time?
You cannot combine per VM and per processor licenses for a single product in the same instance of vCenter Server.
However, you can use per processor licenses for one product and per VM licenses for a different product, even within the same instance of vCenter Server.
Does this also apply to Site Recovery Manager in Bi-Directional or Shared Recovery Mode?
Yes. If you use one instance of Site Recovery Manager to protect multiple sites – in either bi-directional or shared recovery mode – all sites must use the same license type. If you convert one site to per VM licensing, all other sites connected to that instance will need to be converted as well.
Can I convert per VM licenses to per processor licenses?
No. Once you install per VM licenses, you cannot convert those back to per processor licenses.

How to Make Foam ArmorPosted by lina
By Lillyxandra of Firefly Path (http://www.firefly-path.net)
Materials Needed:
-plain paper
-hot glue gun
-hot glue sticks
-elmer's glue
-acrylic paint (color of your choice)
-spray paint (color of your choice)
-30 X 45 sheet of thin craft foam
-30 X 45 sheet of thick craft foam
-hair dryer
-paint brushes
-"goop glue" or "gorilla glue"
1. Designing Your Armor
First, sketch out a design for your armor. Once you have design you like measure the area you will be making the armor for (shoulder,arm,head,ect…)
2. Making the Template
Before you ever cut into the craft foam it is important to make a template out of paper first. Fold a sheet of paper in half. Draw half of the design then cut it out. This way when you unfold the paper you will have a symmetrical shape.
Lay the paper templet on top of the thick foam and trace around. Cut your shape out of the foam and put aside.
Using the same paper templet fold it in half again and draw out a design for the raised part of the armor. Repeat the same steps on the thin foam.
3. Gluing the Two Pieces Together
Now that you have your two pieces of foam (thick foam for the base and the thin foam for the raised part) glue them together with a thin layer of hot glue. Next coat the whole thing in a layer of "Elmer's Glue" and let dry. By coating it in glue it will allow your paint the armor easily later on.
4. Shaping Your Armor
If you plan on have your armor contour around your body now is the time to shape it. Using a hair dryer warm up the back of the armor for a few minutes or until its easily bendable. Bend the armor into the shape you want until it cools off. The foam should keep its shape once it is completely cooled. You can keep reshaping it until you have the shape you desire.
5. Painting Your Armor
Its best to spray paint the entire piece first then paint over it with acrylic paint. To give it an "antique" look paint the sides of the thin layer of foam black. Using a sponge brush smear the black paint in the crevasses, this helps to give it a realistic tarnished look!
6. Wearing Your Armor
I've found it easy to glue a strip of Velcro to the inside of the armor using a strong glue like "Goop" or "Gorilla Glue" then sewing the opposite side for the Velcro to the garment. The armor is light enough to stay in place and easy to take off to transport!!

Madonna's rise to pop music dominance in the 1980s set the stage for a pop explosion – but not without its own controversies and questions regarding what was "acceptable" behaviour for women in music and society. Fashioning her own image as a sexually confidant women Madonna moved the post-punk battle into the area of mainstream popular music, a move that resulted in an entire new generation of pop icons including Britney Spears, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé. These performers altered the pop landscape and challenged the category of rock in the post Madonna world. This Rock and Roll Night School will explore what it means for female performers to challenge conventions while also situating themselves as icons within popular culture.
This event is free and reservations are not required. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Rock and Roll Night School will also be streamed LIVE on rockhall.com
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's education department presents Rock and Roll Night School, a monthly series of educational, discussion-based evening classes offered free of charge from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The award-winning education department leads the classes, which are geared towards adults interested in gaining more knowledge about rock and roll history. The program explores the history of rock and roll from its roots to its current incarnations.
Special attention is given to the music's impact on society, its reception by fans, and its most innovative practitioners. Each class includes a presentation, music and video clips, and group discussions.
Unless otherwise noted, RSVPs are not needed to attend Rock and Roll Night School.
