Born in New Jersey, Dr. Lou DiNicola moved to Randolph in June of 1976 to become a local pediatrician. Passing up job offers in much larger areas then and since, he chose to stay in Randolph because he's been able to able to practice medicine as he always envisioned. He has been able to affect change on a state level; create unique, trend-setting models of health care; and demonstrate his love of the community through his work.
Married to his wife Joann for 43 years, the couple has two grown children, two grandchildren, and a third on the way. Dr. DiNicola is an outdoor enthusiast, enjoying hiking, snowshoeing, walking, and gardening. He's also a photographer and works with his artist wife, framing her paintings.
Dr. DiNicola has spent his entire career in Randolph while also working in Rochester from 1977-1992 with internal medicine physicians Drs. Mark Jewett and Milt Fowler.
Below is his story as told in his own words, as featured in our 2012 Annual Report.
Thirty-six years ago I was fresh out of residency and looking for job opportunities when I saw an ad in a magazine for a pediatrician in rural Vermont. Vermont was where I wanted to work, so I sent in my curriculum vitae, the medical equivalent of a resume, but never heard a word back. I called but the response was less than enthusiastic. I was basically told "thanks, but no thanks."
I had three job offers in Pittsburgh and was literally sitting down to take a job at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh where I'd just completed my internship and residency when my pager went off. It was Gifford President Phil Levesque's secretary, wondering if I could come up in a couple of weeks for an interview. "I'll come this weekend, or I'm not coming at all" was my response. The secretary covered the phone, relaying my message to Phil. "Hell, let him come" was his reply.
Needless to say, I came, and stayed.
More than three decades later I hope I have made a positive impact on the community and my patients, and know they have made a remarkable impact on me – teaching me how to communicate care, respect, and love.
It's amazing how much you can love your patients. Also amazing is the window being a pediatrician gives you to see the love between a parent and a child. No more clearly is that demonstrated than in the unconditional love between a parent and a special needs child. More than once, parents of special needs children have amazed me and inspired me, as have the children themselves. I've seen parents of special needs children go on to adopt more children with special needs. Those are the moments that touch you most; those, and loss.
There is no greater loss than the loss of a child. Throughout my career, there have been car accidents, disease, malignancies, and newborn deaths. I think of two patients I lost to cancer, both of whom I visited at their bedsides at home as they were dying. As I reflect on my career, I think of them not with tears but fondness because of the relationships I have had with their families.
At Gifford, we are small enough to have that closeness with our patients and courageous enough to get up the next day and reflect on what we did or didn't do, what we could have done differently, and how we can improve care. This ability to affect change is one of the things that has kept me practicing – happily – in this community and state for so many years.
One of the biggest changes Gifford has been able to enact in health care is around childbirth. When I first came to Gifford, I kept hearing about this guy Thurmond Knight, a local physician who was delivering babies in people's homes. I met Thurmond at a Medical Staff meeting. He was knitting. I asked him what it would take for him to deliver babies at the hospital. He answered "a Birthing Center". We opened the Birthing Center (the first in the state of Vermont) 35 years ago in 1977.
I've also been fortunate to be part of and help form organizations that were decades ahead of their time, in many ways laying the foundation for today's medical home and Vermont Blueprint for Health models as well as utilizing computers for communication at the advent of the computer revolution. Additionally, Vermont has provided me with the opportunity to work on important legislation, such as child abuse laws, outlawing corporal punishment in schools, mandatory kindergarten, and the recent immunization law. These opportunities along with the privilege of making a difference in kids' and families' lives keep me going.
One of the things I find incredibly rewarding is living and working in the same town. I don't mind if I run into someone downtown and they ask me a question. And I feel it's so important that we recognize and talk to kids. One way I have been able to successfully converse and care for kids for so long is through humor. I try to infuse that in my appointments with children and often am treated – sometimes at unexpected moments – to humor in return.
One such humorous moment came from a 5-year-old. I try to end all my appointments by asking if patients have any questions for me. This 5-year-old's question: "Why do frogs jump so high?" Should I ever write a book, I think this will be the title.

Trenches In World War 1

It is about Trenches In World War 1, How many lines of trenches did each side have?
Please Help Kirsten

Hi was wondering if you could help me i am stuck on a particular part of my work
It is about Trenches In World War 1, How many lines of trenches did each side have?
Please Help Kirsten
When in doubt, do a forum search, on 'trenches' for example. There is loads on here. This thread might be a good place to start.
The short answer is 'three'; there is a simple diagram on this very site in this worksheet, and two more complicated ones from the First World War section of History On the Net. Spartacus Schoolnet has a really useful diagram here.
Bear in mind, that actually trench systems were often much more complicated than just three lines of trenches. If you need more detail, the Long Long Trail website has an excellent page here.

Posted 02 December 2011 - 07:52 PM
There were multiples lines of trenches so that, if you got driven out of the front line trench, you would fall back to the second line trench (which would then become your front line trench) and so on.
Another thing i am stuck with is why would there be more than one line of trench, what were the communication trenches used for and why would the trenches be at least 2 meters deep.
Hope You Can Help
Communication trenches were the short trenches from one line of trenches to the next, so you didn't have to go over the top to move between trenches.
Why would the trenches be at least 2 metres deep - how tall is a man, and what would happen to his head if it stuck up out of the trench?

Another thing i am stuck with is why would there be more than one line of trench. Hope You Can Help
(It's lovely to work with such a polite student.)
Just to add to Mr. Clare's answer, I am going to try to distinguish between trench systems and lines of trenches. As the diagrams show, a trench system generally consisted of three lines of trenches. The front line or 'main fire trench' was the first line (holding some of an infantry unit's soldiers) and would hopefully stop enemy attacks. Behind it was a 'support line' where most of the rest of the unit would be, including the headquarters' dugouts, signallers etc. You didn't put all your troops in the first line because if it was shelled heavily by enemy heavy guns, you probably wouldn't have any soldiers left to fight with. The troops in the support line would also stop enemy attacks. Then there was a third 'reserve line'. Here you would have a reserve of soldiers who would be able to counter-attack to recover any lost trenches. This is very simplified but essentially correct. If the first two lines were taken by the enemy, the reserve line might stop them.
However, even if you managed to break through all three lines, which was very difficult, then in front of you would be another trench system, again of three lines. By 1916, German defences had three or four trench systems covering about two miles. By 1917 trench system defences were even deeper.
Is it surprising that it took so long to break the stalemate?

"The tradition started eight years ago with a challenge," says Deb Anderson, supervisor for Red Cross. "To get fifty people in to give blood in exchange for fifty pumpkin pies."
Eight years later, Red Cross is happy to report the best year to date, with 208 units of blood being collected from 206 donors on Thanksgiving day.
One unit of blood is about 450 ml, or just under a pint and can save up to three lives. Red Cross wanted to thank the staff and all of those people who attended the blood drive for giving their time and the gift of life.
The Thanksgiving blood drive in St. James is the only community blood drive in Minnesota on Thanksgiving day. Everyone who gave Thanksgiving day received a sticker that said "be nice to me, I gave blood today" and a free pumpkin pie from Paul's Food Pride. Most importantly, they provided something for those people in need this holiday season.
A competition between the fire department and ambulance squad in St. James took place again this year. As it has since the fireman challenged the ambulance squad to see who could donate the most units of blood in the past.
The ambulance crew surpassed the fire department winning the competition by two units of blood this year. As a reward, the ambulance crew received the "blood drop" trophy – which is a travelling trophy that goes to the winner every year.
To everyone who gave the gift of life this year, thank you.

My friends and I have come to Vail on our annual ski trip for 17 years and counting.
We know there's little that can be done about snow, but the grooming this year is the worst we've ever experienced.
I suspect we'll come back next year, but if Vail Resorts continues with its ridiculous policy of no daytime grooming and not using the "groomed" notification on their trail signs, it will be our last trip. I'm sure Aspen or Steamboat would like our money, too.
This is unashamedly a cost cutting measure. Perhaps CEO Rob Katz will increase shareholders' profits by cutting back on grooming, but he'll soon reduce the number of visitors who used to rely on a lot of groomed terrain with posted signs!

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � Hikers and others rescued in New Hampshire's backwoods could pay several hundred dollars in fees to the state to help dig the search and rescue fund out of the red under new legislation.
Anyone rescued who possesses a current hunting, fishing or other outdoors license or buys a new hike safe card would not pay the minimum fee.
House Republican Leader Gene Chandler of Bartlett, Senate Republican Leader Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro and Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, a Manchester Democrat, are among the high-profile sponsors looking for ways to help pay for searches and rescues besides fees paid by sportsmen.
Hunters, anglers, boaters, snowmobilers and all-terrain vehicle riders currently pay 100 percent of the rescue costs though license fees but averaged only 14 percent of the rescues since 2006.

Who can paint summer in fifty brushstrokes and three colors? Brushes and palettes clattered throughout the warehouse, artists bent on a challenge beyond mind-numbing portraits and caricatures. It didn't pay the rent, but it kept us sharp.

NEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)--When Matea converted to Islam in December 2013 she looked forward to joining the life of her local mosques here. Today Matea, like many Muslim women, is disillusioned.
"When I first converted I wanted to be part of the mosque environment. But I went to mosques and what I found was sort of an unwelcome environment for women," she told Women's eNews during a discussion organized last week by Women in Islam, a New York-based organization working to empower Muslim women through knowledge and practice of Islam.
Matea didn't want her full name published.
"The spaces are separated, there are different rooms and sometimes it was even in the basement," Matea continued. "And as a convert, it feels very strange to you. I used to go to church and everybody is part of the same community. You can see the preacher. You can hear the sermon very well."
Momentum is building to improve Muslim women's prayer spaces inside mosques. Last year, Hind Makki, a resident of Chicago who describes herself as an interfaith educator and community activist, launched the Side Entrance project on Tumblr and Facebook, inviting people from around the world to share photos of the mosques they attend and show the differences between male and female prayer areas.
"We show the beautiful, the adequate and the pathetic," says the Side Entrance's introduction on Tumblr.
Makki hopes the Side Entrance website will help more Muslim men realize the terrible state of Muslim women's prayer spaces and encourage them to join the women's call for action and change.
In an email interview, Makki said the key to improving women's treatment at mosques is to hold a broad discussion that includes religious leaders, mosque architects and lay Muslims.
"Every time I visit a mosque, I assume that I must enter through a side or back door, if I'm allowed in at all," Makki said. "I assume that my prayer space is not the one that men use and that I must look for signs directing me to a basement or a mezzanine floor. This has been the case in nearly every mosque I've visited in the U.S., Canada and Western Europe."
Less Segregation
Not all mosques segregate women to a basement or a narrow, poorly maintained prayer area.
African American mosques from the Imam Warith Deen Muhammad community and mosques of Bosnian-origin congregations are described as offering more women-friendly environments, said Makki.
"My default is to assume that immigrant-origin Middle Eastern and South Asian Sunni mosques are not going to be welcoming to women," she added.
Due to their different understanding of Islamic texts, African American mosques following Imam W.D. Muhammad are the least likely to use dividers (10 percent) compared to other African American mosques (68 percent), according to the report No. 3 the American Mosque 2011 Survey, which focuses on women in mosques in the United States. However, about 70 percent of Arab mosques, mixed South Asians and others have curtains to separate women from men.
Another factor listed in the report is whether the imam is born in or outside the United States. Mosques whose imam is American-born are much less likely to use a divider (38 percent) compared to mosques with imams born outside the United States (78 percent).
Makki realized the importance of the issue during the month of Ramadan in 2012 when one of her friends was kicked out of a mosque for praying in the second men's prayer hall. Since the women's prayer space, which was located in the basement, smelled of mildew and the air conditioner wasn't working, her friend, and a few other women, decided to pray in the last rows of the men's second prayer hall.
"She wasn't even praying in a mixed-gender line," said Makki in the email interview. "That didn't go over so well. The imam threatened to call the police on them if they didn't leave the premises."
Community Divided
Muslims are divided about the need for sex separation during prayers. Some argue women have no place at the mosque and should stay home, or at least be physically separated from the main prayer area. Others argue that women are welcome in the same space.
"There should be no enforced barrier," said Cyrus McGoldrick, executive director at Majlis ash-Shura of Metropolitan New York, also known as the Islamic Leadership Council.
McGoldrick points to the prayer room of the Islamic Center of New York University in Manhattan, where women pray behind the men in the same space. A small divider is installed for the women who prefer to be hidden.
McGoldrick said the Prophet Muhammad made no requirement to have women physically separated from the men's area during prayers. "I think when you authenticate what the practice of the prophet was and his community, you see that we are very far from it."
That echoes the U.S. Mosque Survey 2011. "During the time of the Prophet Muhammad, women prayed in the same area as men, in rows behind the male assembly," the report says.
Yet, many mosques in the United States continue to physically separate women from the main prayer area, according to the U.S. Mosque Survey 2011, which was distributed at the March 28 event.
"Between 1994 and 2000, the percentage of mosques that used curtains or dividers to distinguish women's spaces increased from 52 percent to 66 percent," says the document. In 2011, the figure didn't change: 66 percent of mosques were still using a divider.
Aisha Al-Adawiya, one of the authors of the third report of the U.S. Mosque Survey 2011 and founder of Women in Islam, is highly concerned because she says women are losing motivation and that is bad for the religion. "There is a downwind trend within the Muslim community where women have simply stopped going to the mosque and as a result their children are not going to the mosque."
Unwelcome Fridays
Women are particularly discouraged from going to mosques on Fridays, the day for the congregational Muslim prayer when space is limited and arguments against women's participation are used to prevent crowding, authors of the report found. And when women feel unwelcome they may prefer to stay home to pray.
Farida Kabir, who lives in Brooklyn, only started going to mosques two years ago. Before that, her family members, who are from Bangladesh, told her that women don't go to mosques.
"They always told me to stay at home, especially my dad," Kabir told Women's eNews on the side of last week's discussion. "He was telling me that women don't go to masjid (mosque). You stay and pray at home and that's how it should be. That's how I grew up."
When she finally went to a mosque two years ago after she was married she felt unwelcome. "A man told me this is not the place to be, come back another time!"
Mosques are always open during prayer times but some stay open all day so Muslims can pray at any time of the day. The general understanding in Islam is to never turn a worshipper away.
The American Mosque Report 2011 found that mosques with women on their boards are less likely to use dividers between the sexes during prayer and have higher female attendance; 20 percent versus 13 percent at mosques that do not allow women on the board.
The problem of providing women with good prayer space is sometimes explained as a budgetary issue but Makki said it's more a matter of attitude.
"If a community is ideologically opposed to providing women access to sacred space, it doesn't matter how big their budget is--women will not have equitable facilities," Makki said. "If a community believes it is the prophetic tradition to provide women access to sacred space, even if their budget is tight, they will find a way to equitably accommodate female congregants."

V8 Ghost
this wiki
|Not to be confused with Ghost, a boat in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
The V8 Ghost is a sports coupe in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
The V8 Ghost is designed as a low profile coupe with sports car-like characteristics, resembling a Lotus Esprit V8 with a different front. The car tends to come in one of two different color schemes, either assigning two colors for the body and trims (which is usually dark grey) or one color for both the body and trim.
The car is wanted by Love Media for their Car-azy Car Give Away.
In terms of performance, the V8 Ghost has a great speed which can be matched with the Stinger and the Cheetah. The car has a great handling, and has a decent durability, since it can take at least four major hits before smoke comes out of the hood. The only downside that its braking is rather poor.
As suggested by its name, it is likely powered by a V8 engine.
- Parked near the northwest corner of Staunton's tallest building in Bedford Point, Staunton Island.
- Frequently spawns around Bedford Point, especially when in close contact with the aforementioned parked V8 Ghost.
- Hospital car park in Hope Medical College, Pike Creek, Shoreside Vale.
- Driveway of one house in Cedar Grove, Shoreside Vale.
- Spawns at the player's Staunton safehouse after completing the Car-azy Car Give Away list, along with a PCJ-600.
- May appear at the parking lot of The Big Shot Casino.
- The car's name comes from its resemblance with the Lotus Esprit. "Esprit" is French for "spirit" or "ghost".

KET looks at the fugitive slave movement in the one-hour documentary Kentuckys Underground RailroadPassage to Freedom.
Many Kentucky people and sites played fascinating and critical roles in the story of slavery, abolitionism, and the underground railroad. Though no actual railroad existed, the term refers to the escape of enslaved African Americans through secret pathways, both with and without assistance.
Kentuckys location on the border of slave and nonslave states and its unique geography as the only state surrounded on three sides by rivers created opportunities for people who were willing to risk their lives to live in freedom, and those willing to risk everything to help them. KETs documentary tells the following stories and more:
In addition, the web site contains additional footage, including oral histories passed down in the Turley and the Brown families.
Teachers who want to use this resource in their classes will find it useful to preview sections of the documentary on the web. Applications to Kentuckys Core Content for Assessment in Social Studies and Arts and Humanities curricula are in the teachers resources section, which includes humanities activities for students using The Last Sale of Slaves, a painting by Kentuckian Thomas S. Noble; the original lyrics of My Old Kentucky Home; and other sources.
A brief history of slavery in Kentucky and timeline are included to provide a historical context for the documentary. In addition, recent research by scholars and lay people is beginning to uncover sources of information that may lead to the documentation of more family stories and historic sites. Search the community research section for opportunities for research and public information grants, as well as steps in the documentation of historic sites.

I'm Ashley (McMillan) Weightman. I grew up in the small town of Wimbledon, North Dakota. In 2005 I moved to Bismarck to go to school where I graduated from the University of Mary with a Bachelors Degree in Communications and Business. I began working at the CBS affiliate as a reporter while in college and spent three years there. From CBS, I moved to Devils Lake to work at WDAZ-TV for a year, before continuing to work at WDAZ in Grand Forks. I married the love of my life Travis on June 23, 2012 and we now live in Bismarck with our three year old son, Corbin. Travis works at KXMB-TV and I at KLJ Engineering and attend Rasmussen College where I'm pursing a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management and Organizational Leadership.
Weight has been a struggle for me since I can remember. I do well for a while and then fall off the wagon. Four years ago I lost nearly 50lbs and was doing great. Two months after maintaining my weight, I found out that I was pregnant and gained 70lbs in nine months. I figured after I had Corbin, some of the pounds would fall off. Corbin weight 8lbs 12oz and I only lost 3lbs. Ever since December of 2009, I've been doing fad diets for about a month, trying the gym on and off, and eat healthy and nothing seems to be working. I've recently had some health issues and my doctor told me that in order to have more children and be a part of my children's life, I need to lose weight, but most importantly, I need to do it for me.
So one of the things I learned in my three week slimdown is a great breakfast recipe. It's pretty much an omlete that looks like a muffin!
All you have to do is mix up your eggs like you were to scramble them, I use a dozen at a time, this allows me to have enough for the week and not have to make them so many times. When you have the eggs ready as if you were to scramble them, add some vegetables. I usually put in what are called power greens and mushrooms. You can easily add peppers, onions, and even some sort of meat, whatever you like in an omlete really.
Preheat your oven to 350degrees. After you're got them mixed up put them in a greased muffin man. I use the Pam spray to make sure they don't stick. Then, place them in the oven and watch them grow. I usually cook them for 15-20 minutes, but watch them closely. I end up poking them with a fork when they look about done, just to make sure there is no raw egg hiding.
When I take mine out, they usually colapse a little and I'm not sure if that is normal, but the still taste good! When they are cooled I'll put them in a container and throw them in the fridge until morning. In the morning I'll pull some out, throw some shredded cheese on top and warm them up for 30seconds.
This is super easy and it's also quite filling! It's also something my son can just grab and take with, too!
Let me know what you think!!

Definition of tautology in English:
noun (plural tautologies)
1The saying of the same thing twice in different words, generally considered to be a fault of style (e.g., they arrived one after the other in succession).
Example sentences
- It is conceivable that the key to truth lies in tautology and redundancy.
- Redundancy and tautology are undesirable, and a sign of less than careful writing.
- But really, spinning out some kind of clever model to illustrate that idea is unnecessary tautology: I can say it in just a few simple words.
pleonasm, repetition, reiteration, redundancy, superfluity, duplication
1.1A phrase or expression in which the same thing is said twice in different words.
Example sentences
- But then, Coward himself was less refined than he thought: 'The general consensus of opinion,' he has Hugo say, two tautologies in a mere five words.
- I'm not saying he is a sloppy reviewer, because the phrase 'sloppy reviewer' is a tautology when it comes to the press.
- Incidentally, white jasmine is a tautology in the Indian context.
1.2 Logic A statement that is true by necessity or by virtue of its logical form.
Example sentences
- The past, in effect, is a tautology; it is true by virtue of its logical form alone.
- It doesn't affect the validity of the statement, so you can include it without destroying your tautology.
- Some authors treated the quantity theory as a matter of causal relation and explanation, often differing as to the content and direction of explanation, whereas others saw it as a truism, identity or tautology.
- Example sentences
- The camp provided the Germans tautological proof of the necessity of imprisoning Untermenschen: the disgusting state of the Haftlinge of Auschwitz demonstrated their inferiority and justified their murder.
- What may seem tautological - happiness being happiness - epitomizes Traheme's use of perspectival language: to attempt to move from the subjective and to the objective.
- Those who view the question as ultimately tautological, and therefore futile, have a strong case to make; but that is not the same thing as saying the question is without use.
- Example sentences
- Or is knowledge, tautologically, simply what the leading professors in each field declare it to be?
- The assertion 'I have direct experience of God' includes the assertion 'God exists' thus, the conclusion 'therefore, God exists' follows tautologically.
- Although The Swan bills itself tautologically as 'the most unique competition ever', there's nothing special or shocking about full-body liposuction and total facial reconstruction any more.
- Example sentences
- As a meal for the mind, this great tautologist serves us here a communion wafer - thin and without body.
- Photography is not necessarily photography and only tautologists would disagree with this.
- A sports commentator and noted tautologist once spoke of a player making 'forward progress'.
- Example sentences
- You ignored my reply and chose merely to tautologize your own application of the husband and wife example.
- As for other testing steps, they are the same as those described above and are not tautologized again.
- Instead of resuming, the next sentence retraces, kneads, worries, tautologizes the foregoing.
- Example sentences
- For many people, however, especially in England, the usage is tautologous.
- These terms, as pointed out in other parts of this book, are ambiguous, open-ended, and often tautologous.
- The word 'until' does in my view have as its normal English meaning a meaning which is sometimes encapsulated in the rather tautologous phrase 'unless and until'.
Mid 16th century: via late Latin from Greek, from tautologos 'repeating what has been said', from tauto- 'same' + -logos (see -logy).

Saturday's letters: Counting on Paul
Published: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 5:04 p.m.
To the editor: Republicans lost because, as G.B. Shaw said: A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend upon the support of Paul.
What we have seen is what the Democrats regularly employ to outfox the Republicans: Once you give free government things, be they services, cash or the whole of Great Society programs to voters who dont pay income tax, you cant (politically) take them away. You cant even threaten to take anything away because the 47 percent of Americans who have come to depend upon them prefer continued dependency-fostered slavery under King Baracks borrowed and/or taxpayer-paid-for freebies and will vote for them and it every time.
Add to that problem those religious Christian groups who withheld their votes altogether, more afraid of a Mormon than a socialist king, and we see a recipe for a degenerating country.
When there is no other place to turn, conservative constitutionalists must not give up. We just have to work harder at getting more conservatives to vote.
Dick Kranker
Causing confusion
To the editor: As a frequent traveler along Highway 64 West from Hendersonville, I notice that a single street light has been erected at the intersection of 64 West and Blythe, just beside Grace Lutheran Church. This is very confusing for the drivers, as it is about 100 yards from the old signal and seems to be on the same timer. Drivers at this intersection dont know where to stop as both go red, and green, synchronized with the main signal.
I feel this has made more problems for the drivers, not fewer. What would be a good idea at this intersection is if this new light flashed yellow to warn drivers that a regular signal was nearby. I, for one, stop when I come to a red light, wherever it may be, and wait there till it turns green. If one does that at this intersection, other drivers honk, flash their lights and get frustrated at my stopping at the red light.
Please look into this situation and re-evaluate the reasoning for this added light, which is presently causing further driving hazards.

Gloves for needy
To the editor: Hendersonville Little Theatre is collecting new or gently used gloves to be given to those in need. There are collection boxes in several locations, including Black Bear Coffee, Black Rose Café, Marble Slab Creamery, Mail Box and Pack, Mast General Store and Ianuccis Restaurant.
If you want to come to our theater on South Washington Street to see either Glass Menagerie (through Sunday) or GI Holiday Jukebox (Dec. 716), you and a companion will receive two tickets for the price of one if you bring a pair of gloves. Just make reservations at 692-1082 or online at hendersonvillelittletheatre.org and say you will deliver the gloves at the time of the performance.
Please help those less fortunate in the coming cold weather. IAM will distribute the gloves with its winter coats.

Marvelous event
To the editor: Three cheers for Van Wingerden International! These hospitable folks once again opened up their greenhouses for free public tours last weekend in Mills River.
What a treat for anyone fortunate enough to visit this companys incredible facilities. There were thousands of gorgeous poinsettias on display, music, tours and even free plants as we left.
This outstanding company knows the importance of being a valuable corporate citizen in Mills River and it shows it each year by hosting this marvelous event for all to attend. Thank you to everyone at Van Wingerden International!
Kathy Ziprik
Mills River
To the editor: I was saddened to see that the Times-News felt the need to inform its readers of the breakup of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez.
Is this event truly newsworthy? For crying out loud, they were not even husband and wife. Did such triviality merit the huge photo and write-up on page 2 that it was given by your newspaper? Please do not dumb your readers down. Such journalism as this belongs only in those magazines that grace the supermarket checkout area.

Paul Mesner Puppets The Comical Adventures of Old Mother Hubbard
Monday, July 8, 2013
2:00pm @ Lucile H. Bluford Branch
Old Mother Hubbard loves her dog, and he loves her. In this comic poem, written in 1805, Old Mother Hubbard is always looking out for her best friend and in return he is dancing and spinning and sitting and standing all to the delight of Old Mother Hubbard. In a quaint old cottage the comedy of a dog and his master opens and unfolds to delight and captivate the story of this good old lady and her funny dog.

Well, that didn't take long.
Just a week after news broke that high-profile tech investor Sherman Pishevar was stepping away from an active role at Menlo Ventures, the venerable VC firm on Wednesday is expected to name Venky Ganesan as a managing director, focused on consumer and enterprise investments.
Ganesan last month left Globespan Capital, which he joined in the dot-com summer of 1998. Along the way, he's invested in such high-profile startups as Plaxo, oDesk and Palo Alto Networks.
Globespan, headquartered in Boston, has been pulling back its efforts in Silicon Valley amid reported difficulties raising a new fund. After a separation that was by all accounts amicable, Ganesan had toyed with the idea of forming his own venture capital fund.
Instead, Menlo Managing Director Pravin Vazirani prevailed upon his longtime friend to saddle up.
"We are thrilled to have Venky joining us," Vazirani said. "His track record speaks for itself."
The admiration was mutual.
"I was lucky enough to have offers from multiple firms, but the people at Menlo are special," Ganesan said. He cited the "band of brothers" feeling among the firm's seven other managing directors, whom he called "successful yet hungry."
Vazirani cautioned that Ganesan shouldn't be seen as a replacement for Pishevar, who stepped down as a managing director at Menlo after less than two years. Vazirani said Menlo had been seeking to add a new partner for more than a year and that the timing of the two moves was coincidental.
Pishevar, who had previously been a serial entrepreneur and angel investor, has announced plans for a new startup "foundry" called Sherpa; he will remain a venture adviser to Menlo Ventures, in part to continue working with portfolio companies that include Uber and TaskRabbit.
Although Pishevar's focus on fledgling consumer Internet startups was something of a departure for Menlo -- which is best known for late-stage investing in enterprise software companies such as IronPort and 3Par -- Ganesan said he expects the firm will continue to do more consumer investing than in the past.
He himself will focus on seed and early stage software and Internet deals.
"You're looking for a situation where you can be the jigsaw piece that completes the puzzle," Ganesan said.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Despite missing out on an NCAA Tournament at-large bid to defend their national championship, the Kentucky Wildcats have been selected to play in the National Invitation Tournament.
UK's NIT bid extends the Wildcats' streak of postseason appearances in either the NCAA Tournament or NIT to 22 consecutive seasons.
Kentucky (21-11) earned a No. 1 seed and will face eighth-seeded Robert Morris on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Charles L. Sewall Center in Moon Township, Pa., outside of Pittsburgh. The game will be televised live on ESPN.
Kentucky is 1-0 against Robert Morris all-time with the lone meeting coming in a 92-67 triumph for the Wildcats on Dec. 30, 1993 in Rupp Arena.
"I'm really disappointed we didn't make the NCAA Tournament, but we are going to use this time to make us better," UK head coach John Calipari said. "We had our chances, but I'm not going to stop. It's a great lesson for the future of our program and a humbling experience for me as a coach."
UK is 13-6 in the NIT all-time. UK last played in the NIT during the 2009 season reaching the quarterfinals before falling 77-67 at Notre Dame.
"I'm excited to return to Pittsburgh and look forward to facing a team that is going to present a real challenge for us," Calipari said. "Robert Morris won their league in the regular season. They shoot a lot of 3-pointers, produce a lot of steals, so we have to come prepared."
Kentucky is making its ninth NIT appearance, having won the tournament twice, in 1946 and 1976. The Wildcats are 5-3 all-time in NIT openers.
Since 1992, UK owns a 105-28 (.789) record in postseason play (SEC, NIT and NCAA).
John Calipari has used the NIT as a springboard in his previous two stops at Massachusetts and Memphis. Overall, this marks the sixth NIT appearance in Calipari's career. He reached the NIT semifinals in four of those appearances while winning the NIT championship in 2002 with Memphis. In three of the seasons he used the NIT as a building block for an NCAA Tournament berth the following year, including an NCAA Tournament Elite Eight appearance with Memphis in 2006 after reaching the NIT semifinals in 2005.
In Calipari's first year at Kentucky the Wildcats reached the 2010 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight the year after UK appeared in the 2009 NIT.
"To the Big Blue Nation, you did your part all season long," Calipari said. "You showed up in droves and helped us pull through key games. We didn't do our part. Even now, I'm going to coach these guys, try to make them better and give everything I can to make sure we control our destiny in the future."
The first three rounds of the NIT are hosted at the campus site of one of the participating teams. For each game, the higher-seeded team has the first option to host unless logistical circumstances preclude such an opportunity.
"We did not place a bid to host the first round of the NIT due to limited staff availability to properly host a game at Memorial Coliseum," said UK Executive Associated AD DeWayne Peevy. "Because the University of Kentucky is hosting the NCAA second- and third-round games at Rupp Arena on March 21 and 23, the facility was not available for a first-round NIT game. We placed a bid to host both the second round and quarterfinal games at Rupp Arena if we advance."
Kentucky is a host institution for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament to be held Thursday and Saturday in Rupp Arena.
First-round games will be played March 19 and 20. Second-round games can be played March 21-25 and quarterfinal games will be played March 26 and 27.
The winner of the UK-Robert Morris matchup will face the winner of the first round game between No. 4-seed Providence and No. 5 Charlotte.
The 2013 Postseason NIT will be in its 76th season at New York City's Madison Square Garden. On Tuesday, April 2, the four quarterfinal winners will square off with the Championship scheduled for Thursday, April 4.
Tickets to the first round game at Robert Morris University can be purchased by calling the RMU ticket office at 412.397.4949. Tickets are $20 for reserved seating, $15 for general admission and $5 for students.

Wednesday afternoon's storm in Oak Ridge brought down a tree that narrowly missed a house in the 100 block of Taylor Road. According to Oak Ridge Fire Department personnel, the tree hit the power lines going to the house and likely caused the lines to be pulled from the home, leaving the hole in the side of the structure. No one was in the house when the tree fell, according to neighbors.

The words Ed Billeaud uses to characterize the Romney campaign include thuggery, racism, hatred, intimidation and suppression. He further asserts these despicable activities are "well documented." My question for him is - Well documented by whom? If a news organization or print media has made such a claim I must have missed it. Of course the sources just mentioned would have to possess a solid reputation of fairness and honesty, not just agenda driven outlets. One should always scrutinize sources.
I suggest the criticism of the current presidency is not likely based on any such racism, hatred, or even party reference, but rather a four-year performance record that is "well documented."

An imposing yet impoverished Scots nobleman,Lord Logan McKinney knows he must wed some vapidtitle-hunter with a substantial dowry in order torestore his once-thriving estate. Having the vibrantCleo nearby, however, makes his task even moreunpalatable—for she tempts him like no other woman . . .just as he's precisely the sort of man she most fears:exciting, unpredictable, fiercely passionate.

Hi Miki!
I'm so happy you found my blog! I adore Tom Petty and I've been waiting to use these lyrics on a post about dresses worthy of their greatness haha!

Excellent blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!

General: Bought storage but can't sync - can I cancel (or put on hold) storage purchase?Bottom of Page
1 to 21 of 21
I am very excited about the possibility offered by zotero 2 of syncing my library at home and in the office. My library is 1.5GB so I decided to purchase storage, which at $60/year is a perfectly reasonable price for the luxury of being able to access my pdfs from anywhere in the world. But then I realised I can't sync at all - apparently (according to this thread: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8413/syncing-large-collections/#Item_24) because my database (~6000 references) is too big (Report ID: 53509702).

I perfectly understand that these things take time to get sorted, but I am wondering if it is possible to cancel my purchase? Or, even better, to stop the clock on it until the syncing problem is solved? Feels a bit silly to have purchased 5GB of storage for one year and not being able to use any of it...
Many thanks for your advice.
Once this issue is resolved and you've managed to sync (which will hopefully be soon), just send a message to support@zot....org and we can extend your storage subscription.

Dan has been working on this, judging from commits to the code repository in the last month or so, so progress is being made. I don't have a timeline, but you're not forgotten.

Today I noticed that for a change my sync icon is moving (has been moving for a couple of hours) rather than giving an error. But my settings still say that I am using 0 Mb storage space so I am not particularly confident that something is actually happening.

- CommentTimeJan 25th 2011
Today I also got an email saying that my zotero storage is about to expire because it will now be a year since I got it, and urging me to renew it or else my account will be blocked. Needless to say, I am not going to renew a service that has not worked for me yet. But I would also prefer not to have my account blocked because if so I cannot check if sync is already working. I have replied (cc-ing support@z....org) explaining this.
I have seen that you are currently doing a major architectural upgrade so I keep my fingers crossed.
I still think zotero is great, and it will be even greater when synchronisation becomes possible for me as well.
Just for the record, my sync icon has been spinning for 3 days now but still no synchronisation achieved.
My library continues empty and my storage usage is still 0MB. (I have read elsewhere that synchronisation is all-or-nothing so this is not surprising)
It's not possible for a sync to last 3 days (or more than about 6 hours at the absolute worst). You have no active sync right now, I see no record of sync attempts for you, and you still have no items on the server. It shouldn't be spinning.

1) Before restarting Firefox, check to see if you can provide a Report ID.
2) Disable auto-sync in the Sync pane of the Zotero prefs.
3) Restart Firefox. Does the icon show as spinning before you click on it? If so, Firefox isn't quitting completely.
4) If not, try to sync, and post here.
Thank you for coming back to me Dan, much appreciated.
Here's my situation:
- My Zotero version is 2.0.9, my Firefox is 3.6.13 and I am using Windows XP.
- My Zotero database has 2.2 GB and 6293 references, I estimate some 70% of them have attached pdfs. Before this episode every time I tried to synchronise I got an error.
- I could not provide a report ID (nothing in the Actions menu).
- Icon had indeed been spinning for 3 days (and I hadn't clicked on it, unless I did it by accident). Hovering over the icon I got "Sync with Zotero Server; uploading data to sync server". My sync preferences were set to "sync automatically" (with username and password) and "sync attachments in My Library using > Zotero".
- Following your instructions, disabled auto-sync and restarted Firefox (and, for good measure, the computer itself). Icon not spinning.
- Clicked on icon, started spinning, no error, same message when I hover the mouse ("Sync with Zotero Server; uploading data to sync server"). Started at about 3pm Washington DC time. Has now been going on for 20 minutes.
I will be here for the next 6 hours so will report back on what happens.
Thank you.
So on the server you're just getting a database-too-large error, which is still expected at this point, but I'm not sure why that's not translating into an error in the client. We're trying to reproduce it, but you can help by repeating that process (restarting Firefox, etc.) and providing a Debug ID for the first ten minutes of syncing.

The resulting output will likely be too big to submit, so after ten minutes click View Output, File->Save As to save it as a text file, zip the text file, and e-mail it to support@zot....org with a link to this thread.
Done - thanks!

SSL certificate error connecting to sync.zotero.org
See http://zotero.org/support/kb/ssl_certificate_error for more information.
This is the error in your latest error report. It indicates a problem on your network. Follow the link for more information.
The error seems to have been a one-off. I've tried 4 more times and continue to get synchronisation without error. And in https://sync.zotero.org I get "Nothing to see here".
I still can't save the debug file, but in one (where I let synchronisation run for 6 mins rather than 10) I got this after "sync.zotero.org/upload":

Ok, I'll keep waiting. Many thanks for your patience.
I got an email from Digital Scholar Renewals saying:
- CommentAuthorarodrigues
- CommentTimeJan 30th 2011
"Your account is now locked. A locked account will not allow any syncing of new files. If you fail to renew within the next thirty days, your stored files will be deleted."
Naturally, I don't mind the file deleting as I don't have any files there. And if zotero is still unable to sync databases of the size of mine this does not change anything in practice for me in relation to my current situation.
But if this means that I can't even *try* to sync, I will never know when zotero is finally able to sync my database. If so I will rely on you to tell me when that's the case, so that I can reactivate my storage account - will you?
You can still sync; the limitation on database size applies to the bibliographic data, which is always free and has no connection to whether you've paid for file storage.

Great - many thanks for clarifying that.
- CommentAuthorarodrigues
- CommentTimeJan 30th 2011
I will keep trying then, and will sort out the storage issue once sync starts working.
If I understand this correctly:
- CommentAuthorprao01
- CommentTimeFeb 3rd 2011
Ajlyon: "You can still sync; the limitation on database size applies to the bibliographic data, which is always free and has no connection to whether you've paid for file storage"
then even though our group's free account is giving an over-quota message, we can still add and sync bibliographic data, just not PDF files. Is that correct? I've been deleting PDFs and other non-essential information, but I still keep getting the error message.
yes, that's correct.

Another idea for cc awareness month. Perhaps someone from the foundation could contact Google and ask them if they would be willing to have their google logo designed to highlight cc. They do it for breast cancer and other charities. It might be worth a try.

Roger stars in video spot for HIV/AIDS campaign
His bid for glory at the U.S. Open begins tomorrow, but Roger Federer has already served up an ace in the fight against AIDS with the release of a new public service announcement for UNICEF (see link below).
The PSA, released today in both English and French, is part of the UNITE FOR CHILDREN UNITE AGAINST AIDS campaign, which was launched in New York in October 2005. In the 30-second spot, which will be made available to broadcasters worldwide, Mr. Federer talks about the impact of HIV/AIDS on children around the world.
"Every minute of every day, a child under the age of 15 dies of an AIDS-related illness," he says in the video message. "HIV/AIDS is threatening children as never before."
Commitment to children
Mr. Federer, the world's current top-ranked tennis player, became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in April of this year.
"I am honoured to join the ranks of UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassadors," he said at his appointment ceremony. "I've been lucky in life and able to pursue my passion for tennis since I was six years old. It's important to me to help the many children throughout the world who do not have the basic resources they need."
Mr. Federer's commitment to the well-being of children was clear even before his appointment as a Goodwill Ambassador. In 2003, he established the Roger Federer Foundation to help children in need, primarily in . And in 2005, he helped organize an exhibition tournament to raise relief funds for UNICEF in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami.
That tournament, sponsored by UNICEF and the ATP, the world governing body of professional tennis, helped launch a partnership between the two organizations. The partnership, known as ACE (for Assisting Children Everywhere), focuses on the effects of HIV/AIDS on children.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
Thoughts on last nights Ropey League Win?
Saw the game (well, most of it..couldn't keep my eyes open as I watched the re-airing of it (live airing, I was still at work).
Funny camera angles for this game...it looked almost pitch level and made everything look congested.
Overall, it was a typical AVB-led Spurs performance...3 wicked goals (I have to give the edge to the Lyon fella's goal as it came from open play...not taking anything away from the two vicious dead-ball strikes by Bale, but that laser of a shot was class).
Not much else to say; Vertonghen stepped in front of at least a dozen through balls, usually around the half-way line...that high line worries the heck out of me! Gallas looked like he had a decent game, although it was his headed clearance that set up their goal (and I remember him doing that a number of times before, before he went out injured). Our defence made another one of their plays look Maradonna-esque as he went on a mazy run through about four of them and smashed a shot that Friedel did well to palm over. Oh and Bale misses another open goal..the one our last match was on his right foot, going away...this one? he would have done better using his right foot, but opted for the left and totally screwed it (he did have a defender putting him off at the same time to be fair, but if GB is heading for stardom, then he's got to be as clinical in open play as he's been from free-kicks of late)
Lyon, while they had their chances, didn't really look that sharp of a team. They may look totally different in the return leg - 1-0 to them will send us out...so it's imperative that we cancel that away goal out, and go from there. Lyon's dilemma is to attack a their peril, knowing that our counter is lightning quick, so I'm guessing a cagey affair in France.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
rambro, glad your son is turning the corner. even if u had to bribe him with a los vegas trip!
so why does everyone in usa hate Baltimore & wanted them to lose against san fran?!
is it because its a rough area? but then wouldn't everyone hate Detroit too?
yes its always a strange camera angle when its a home game on ITV.
great free kicks from bale. he has got the hang of them now!
hope he can score them regularly now.
id say its 50/50 as to who goes through.
there's about 9 more rounds so I wont be too down if we do get knocked out, would rather go out now than lose in semis

ML Leaves of Provence Black Tea Tin
ML Leaves of Provence black tea is made from smooth chinese black tea leaves that mingle with Provençal herbs of verbena, lavender, mild peppermint and distinctive fruits for a continental twist.
Looose tea in 2.7 oz tin
Twisted, wiry black leaves
Fruit and chocolate
Reddish-brown liquor
Rich and pungent body with citrus fruit, flowery and minty notes
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded teaspoon of loose tea per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 3 - 5 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Health Benefits
Black Tea
Black tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols that aid in fighting harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals can cause heart disease, cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking black tea with its high antioxidant levels may help protect the body by combating harmful free radical activity.
Further health benefits of black tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, black tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium, Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia, Lavandula officinalis)
Native to western Mediterranean and France, Lavender is well known for soothing and relaxing the nervous system in addition to aiding digestion. It is thought to help treat headaches and depression.
Marigold (Calendula officinalis)
Native to southern Europe, Calendula is a commonly used medicinal herb. Some of its many health benefits include aiding digestion, relaxing the nervous system and detoxifying the body.
