One Utahn is probably a little more anxious than others to see this week's Sundance Film Festival premiere of "Lovelace," the biopic of controversial porn star, Linda Lovelace.
That would be Harry Reems, the retired Park City realtor who co-starred with Lovelace in the 1972 classic X-rated movie, "Deep Throat," as well as other adult films. Lovelace later claimed in two autobiographies that she was drugged and beaten while filming "Deep Throat" and that her husband and manager, Chuck Traynor, was abusive and controlling throughout her life.
"I'm hoping it will be very accurate," Reems said of "Lovelace" the movie. "There's enough people alive who know if she was beat on the set. She was never beat on the set. She was not.
While the now-65-year-old Reems said he never saw Lovelace harmed on the set of the film, he does remember Traynor's alleged abuse.
"I thought she was sweet and wonderful and quiet," Reems said of Lovelace." "But she was just stuck with the wrong guy. He basically controlled her life."
"He was a total A-hole. He was not a friendly guy. He was a hustler," Reems added of Traynor. "He did not die too early."
"Lovelace," which premieres Tuesday in Park City, chronicles the ultimately tragic life of a woman who would become a symbol for sexual freedom through "Deep Throat." Lovelace died in a Colorado car crash in 2002 at the age of 53.
Directed by documentarians Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman (who were last at Sundance with 2010's "HOWL"), "Lovelace" stars Amanda Seyfried ("Big Love") as Linda Lovelace and Peter Sarsgaard as Traynor.
"We didn't know much about Linda and about 'Deep Throat.' Then we got really interested in Linda as someone who exemplified what was going on in the culture at the time," said Friedman. "She spanned the period from what we think of as The Sexual Revolution. Her story is an illustration of some of the darker truths of what was going on at the time."
Born Linda Boreman, Lovelace was discovered by Traynor before she was hired to star in "Deep Throat," mostly because of her skill for oral sex. In addition to Traynor, who Lovelace claimed held her at gunpoint while filming "Deep Throat," her life was tainted by prostitution and drugs .
Before the movie debuted, adult films were relegated to back-alley theaters and talked about in hushed tones. But "Deep Throat," which was released at the onset of the sexual revolution and the rise of feminism in the 1970s, brought porn into the mainstream and was seen by such notables as Spiro Agnew, Shirley MacLaine and Sammy Davis Jr.
Lovelace and Reems would be paid just $1,200 each for their work on the film, which some claim has made more than $600 million.
After the film's release, Reems would continue on with a career in porn until drugs and alcohol began to overtake his life. (At one point, he said, he woke up in a jail cell in a pool of his own vomit, not knowing how he got there.) In the late 1980s, he made his way to Park City, began attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings thanks to a Park City police officer who encouraged him, and found religion. Reems married and became a successful realtor until his retirement four years ago.
Since Lovelace's death, there's been a documentary ("Inside Deep Throat"), a Los Angeles play ("Lovelace: A Rock Musical"), and two films about the actress and the making of the infamous adult film. The other biopic, "Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story," is currently in pre-production and slated to star Malin Ackerman ("Watchmen") as Lovelace.
While Reems said he is curious to see how these movies tell the story of his co-star, he's also angry that no one, including the filmmakers behind "Lovelace," contacted him for their research.
"I knew her and worked with her a lot," Reems said. "When you sit there naked waiting for a shot, you talk intimately. I would hear a lot, especially from angry girls about their dads and how they were abused. My first guess with Linda was she was terrorized by her father."
Co-director Epstein said that he and Friedman read everything available, including past interviews with Reems, as well as talked to Lovelace's family members and her attorney.
"I want [audiences] to understand that in all of her complexities and contradictions, she was a human being," Epstein said, "that she is someone that lived her life and felt like she wasn't fully understood."

Add transitions and animations
Animations are helpful way to make your slides look more dynamic. They're also a great way to reveal text or objects on a slide one step at a time. For example, you could have five bullet points of text, and reveal them one-by-one on the slide with each click.
You can also make moving from one slide to the next a little more interesting with transitions. You can add or modify slide transitions and animations in the Animations pane. Here's how to enable the Animations pane:
- Go to the Slide menu and select Change transition.
- Go to the View menu and select Animations.
- Go to the Insert menu and select Animations.
The Animations pane is split into two levels. At the top, you'll see transition options. Use the drop-down menu to select a slide transition for the selected slide. Choose the option below the drop-down menu to apply this transition to all slides in the presentation. At the bottom, you can apply animations to text and objects.

Knitter's Review
October 4, 2002
Contrary to what non-knitters might think, yarn is infinitely fascinating.
How many times have we watched a gorgeous skein of yarn become a mediocre piece of clothing, while a seemingly bland ball of fuzz can be transformed into a beautiful garment?
It's a mystery, as I learned again this week.

Singapore, 2013, 99 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Asian, Coming of Age, Family Issues, Historical/Period
Program: Contemporary World CinemaLanguage: Chinese, English English Sub-Titles
In receiving Cannes's prestigious Camera d'Or prize this past May, Ilo Ilo became the first Singaporean feature to be honored by the French festival. Set amid of the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s, Anthony Chen's highly assured feature-length debut depicts the day-to-day drama, and unexpected hardships, of a middle-class family and their live-in Filipina maid, Teresa (Angeli Bayani). At first bullied by oldest son Jiale (charismatic 11-year-old newcomer Koh Jia Ler, who was discovered in a group of more than 8,000 children), Teresa ultimately earns the affection of the very badly behaved boy, especially after he experiences the humiliation of Singapore's most infamous form of corporal punishment: a schoolhouse caning. It is their unusual bond that provides Ilo Ilo with its unexpected emotional warmth.
Ilo Ilo is equally attuned to the small and large crises of its bourgeois protagonists, private traumas that Chen quietly captures without an overabundance of sentimentality: with his working wife (Yeo Yann Yann) well into her third trimester of pregnancy and constantly harassed by angry school administrators, Jiale's hapless father (Chen Tian Wen) not only loses his job—a fact that he will withhold from his wife—but also much of the family's savings.
Teresa, however, is the most empathetic character in Chen's film, named for the Philippine province from which his own longtime family maid (Auntie Terry) came. In this very personal film based on the director's childhood, Teresa provides the viewer's point of entry into this crumbling middle-class milieu.

WASHINGTON (November 12, 2012)—The affair between former CIA director David Petraeus and his biographer Paula Broadwell will be the subject of meetings this week involving congressional intelligence committee leaders and top officials from the FBI and the CIA.
There's also still a chance that Petraeus will have to testify at a later date about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya in September that left four Americans dead.
He was scheduled to testify about that attack this week, before giving up his CIA job, as his affair became known.
A friend said Petraeus is "devastated" over the harm he's caused to his family, while losing "one of the best jobs he ever had."
Steven Boylan, a former Petraeus spokesman who talked to him over the weekend, also told ABC this morning that the former CIA director's wife, Holly is "not exactly pleased right now" after her husband admitted having an extra-marital affair. Boylan says Petraeus ended the affair four months ago.

The National Zoo provides physically and mentally stimulating environments and care for its elephants. That stimulation allows our animals to have choice and control over their environments, and gives them the opportunity to use their natural abilities and behaviors.
A big part of caring for the elephants is providing them with enrichment. Since elephants are large social animals, Zoo keepers create enrichment activities providing mental stimulation as well as physical challenges. Keepers plan and document all of the enrichment activities so that they can continually enhance and improve what they offer.
Enrichment is given in many forms and on varying schedules. The elephants have daily, weekly, monthly and even annual enrichment schedules. Many different types of enrichment are used to provide mental, physical and behavioral stimulation. The Zoo's enrichment goals encourage thinking and problem solving; enhance gross body movements and fine manipulation skills; and foster active behaviors, including those that fulfill husbandry needs and those that are typically displayed by wild elephants.
Food is a source of enrichment for the elephants every day. A variety of foods are scattered throughout the exhibits at least twice a day. Food is also placed in specially designed nooks throughout Elephant Trails, and hung in various portable feeders. Food also grows throughout parts of Elephant Trails. Grass grows in about half of the yard space, which allows the elephants to graze naturally. The Zoo's Department of Nutrition also carefully devises individualized diets for each elephant. The Department of Nutrition has two clinical nutritionists, a commissary manager, a laboratory manager, a food service specialist and a group of dedicated keepers.
Elephants are extremely intelligent animals that display complex behaviors and have a high capacity for learning. As a result, keepers incorporate challenging training sessions into the elephants' daily routines that provides both mental and physical stimulation. These behaviors help conduct daily health checks and provide daily health care, which is useful because humans and elephants never share the same unrestricted space at the Zoo. That means that no one ever goes into an exhibit with an elephant.
In addition to the Zoo's training program, it has a cognitive research program that provides a mental workout for the elephants and documents the elephants' mental acuity.
All of the Zoo's veterinarians are trained and have experience providing elephant medicine, diagnostics and treatment for elephants in human care. Zoo keepers and scientists are also involved with clinical and/or field research of elephants. Some of the things they study include elephant anesthesia, wound management, infectious disease investigation, pharmacokinetic studies and reproduction.

Man that game sucked. Everybody see Wayne Gretzky in the crowd with his scarf? Look at you in Los Angeles with your Los Angeles scarf, Wayne.
I'm all for wiping our memories clean of the last 3 hours, so just one lonely bullet tonight:
- The FSD pregame included a segment in which a few Red Wing players shared what NHL rules they would change if they were given the power to do so. Brad Stuart said he would change the icing rules. Ian White said he would take out "that trapezoid thing." He literally said that. Obviously there wasn't enough time for each player to give their take, so I opened my doors so that more players could speak their minds:
Darren Helm: "I'd make it so that goalies don't exist. They take up too much of the net. Without goalies I could probably shoot 10 percent over a whole season. In a good year, mind you. I'm not crazy (laughs), I'm a realist. I'm not a crazy dreamer like that Erin Brockovich."
Jimmy Howard: "I would make a compromise with the NHL. I'd let them keep the trapezoid, but when an opposing player runs me over, I'd be allowed to knock him unconscious and drag him into the corner. And then once I get a good pile of unconscious players going, I could stomp on them with my skates and stuff. I really just want to kill people, man. You ever thought about what it takes to actually kill another person? I think about it every time we play against Ben Eager."
Patrick Eaves: /is asleep/
Johan Franzen: "You know that thing between October and March where we skate around and dry hump each other and I play hockey with a truck and Roberto Luongo is some sort of golden-winged demigod?" Are you talking about the regular season? "Sure, that thing. I think we should have like a field day with sack races and crab soccer to determine the playoff teams, and then just start the playoffs." That's wild. You don't want to earn all that money you signed for that's paid mostly by a few dozen home games worth of revenue? "Huh?" Yeah man, that 45 year contract you signed, a large portion of it comes from tickets that get sold by people expecting to see world class hockey, regardless of what time of the year it is. "Are you a witch?"
Niklas Kronwall: "I kind of wish hockey were more like this. I like the trampolines. I have a jumping reputation, that's the joke with this one."
Nck Ldstrom: "Did you take out the I's like I requested? Good. There's no "I" in Nck Ldstrom. It's a team game. If we skate for 60 minutes and put pucks on net and move our legs, the rules will take care of themselves."
Tomas Holmstrom: "I like teh one game, eh, titty links." Tiddlywinks? "Yes uh huh." And? "I like teh play it. I would half us play that more offen." You don't play that at all during hockey games, currently. "You half'ent seen my ice time lately."
Jiri Hudler: "Ha, boobs."
Pavel Datsyuk: "I want to take cat and dog, and I put little shirts on them. And then I tie little string to their arms, and make some kind of funny dance. I show to Babcook and he laugh hard at his stomach, then I sign agreement that says I will never tell public that he is capable of laughter or he will trade me for a bag of Saskatchewan moose jerky-- oh fuck"
Ty Conklin: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Go Wings.

Hundreds of thousands of people around the world marched on dozens of cities on Saturday, joining the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations against greed, inequality and everything else that's screwed up right now.
Actually, it seems a little unfair to say that the world is joining Occupy Wall Street—some countries, like Spain, have had strong anti-inequality and anti-austerity movements for months now, so it's more like Occupy Wall Street was America joining the world—but either way, it's the global interest in the Zuccotti Park encampment (and its imitators nationwide) that spurred the October 15 marches.

Hold Your Head High: Help for Neck Pain
Please forgive my lapse in blogging for the past few months, I was busy giving birth. Twice. First, I had a beautiful daughter named Lilah, who is now 2 months old. And secondly to my first book, The Roll Model, which will be published in September.
These "projects" have been filling my head and heart simultaneously for the past year, but I am happy to say, I can now share some of my newer ideas again!
The first idea hit me hard on the head (relatively speaking) yesterday. I picked up a 15-pound bag of dog food for my puppy (oh yes, I also "birthed" a puppy recently too!) while out running errands on foot. I was carrying Lilah in her carrier, and had very few options in terms of how to walk the quarter mile back home carrying the sack of food without squashing Lilah. So I hoisted the bag of food on top of my head and voila!

It's official.
Political consultant Mark Abernathy went 0-3 in big races this year. His and Shannon Grove's candidate Pedro Rios' defeat (conceded yesterday to Rudy Salas) was the final nail in the GOP coffin as the Dems now officially have their supermajority.
Abernathy candidates Harley Pinson and sitting supervisor Karen Goh all lost in the June primary ballots.
Abernathy did manage to pull off a Bakersfield city council seat win, but still falls short of a majority there. He is on the downside of a 3-1-1 status on the Kern County Board of Supervisors.
I say 3-1-1 because I'm not giving the Mick Gleason victory to his column as Gleason is his own man and said so repeatedly during the campaign. Abernathy also won't have a big say in Gleason's staffing.
Now that the Dems have control of both houses of state government, they will have to learn how to govern to the middle. There is nowhere else for them to turn in failure. There is nowhere else to look if they fail but in a mirror and see who is to blame....themselves!
Yep, with that majority comes a big responsibility. Time will tell if the power in control has the broad shoulders necessary to guide the state through some tough times and decisions.
Another insider tip.....don't look for Governor Jerry Brown to rubber stamp every action passed by the Democrats. He has been at odds with his own party during the past two years and isn't exactly the biggest favorite among Dem leaders in Sacramento.
That in itself may be the checks and balances state policy/finances will need moving forward. Rather ironic, once known as "moon beam," Brown might become the Republicans' best friend.
Republican leaders in Kern County and nationwide are rethinking their immigration stance. Too late for this recent election but the new stance will be necessary moving forward when you consider Mitt Romney earned less of the Hispanic vote (less than 30 percent) than Sen. John McCain four years ago and less than what President "W" Bush received in 2000 and 2004.
If the Republicans would have adopted reform as presented by Bush this last election would have turned out different. There is more to the Immigration issue than securing our borders. Like it or not, the GOP faithful needs to embrace a path to citizenship (favored by over 65 percent of all Americans) to be a relevant part of the state and national political scene.
Page 2 of 2 - §§§
By the way, the controlling Dems in Sacramento can do one obvious thing to cut down on entitlement payments. While some individuals deserve assistance in welfare, food stamps, unemployment, etc. others do not.
But whether deserved or not enact a simple rule: random drug testing. Pass the test or lose your entitlements.
Wonder how much this would save the California taxpayer?

1- your computer specs (cpu, memory) and the precise server version you're using -- Quad core with 8gb ram - media server v1.10.51
2- the network connection you are using for streaming your files (wifi, homeplugs, ethernet 100Mbits, or gigabit) -- wifi
3- detailed infos on what's not working -- above
4- if you're transcoding some videos, which engine are you using ? (mencoder, avisynth/mencoder, tsmuxer) -- I don't know...didn't know there was an option

June 14 is a very historic date in American history. In 1775, the Second Continental Congress decided to officially label the scruffy group of boys and men who had been taking aim at the British troops in order to better organize and strengthen the forces needed to defeat the powerful army of the queen.
The fighting between the British troops and the American patriots became much more intense, and the newly formed group of various militia and minutemen needed a commander, someone who could effectively lead them into victory to sever the ties with their British homeland and declare their independence.
John Adams addressed the Congress that year with the recommendation of George Washington as Commander-In-Chief of the newly adopted army. It was on that day, June 14, 1775, that the Continental Army was born.
Washington had an enormous task ahead of him, when he assumed command of the troops in July of that same year. Legend has it that Washington sought a symbol, or banner, that would unify the troops and identify the strength of the burgeoning nation.
This would bring the story of Betsy Ross into the limelight. There are several variations of the tale, but the most prevalent details when Washington went to Ross with a design drawn up by members of the Continental Congress and Ross suggested the five-point stars in a circular arrangement to compliment the 13 stripes of alternating red and white.
The Congress from that year drew up a resolution that was passed on June 14, 1777, stating that "the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
So, this week, we celebrate both the unification of our nation's symbol, the American flag, and the birth of our country's Armed Forces, from which emerged the most powerful nation in the world.
So, on this Flag Day, armed with a little history, may you proudly display your patriotic pride and wave Old Glory for all to see.
Although the legislative session has ended for the year, I pledge to continue working for my district. My office will be open, and ready to address your concerns and issues. Always feel free to contact me throughout the year with any comments, questions, or issues by calling my office at (573) 751-5713 or by visiting my website at www.senate.mo.gov/brown.

Investigates Hot Links: Wednesday, May, 6, 2009
Let's catch up on a few of the public-interest stories in The Dallas Morning News and around the Web-o-sphere:
1. Dallas ISD faces a robbing-Peter-to-pay-Paul quandary. Make cuts in 31 specialized programs, including magnet schools and learning centers? Or give up $105 million in federal funding? Tawnell D. Hobbs posted a district report, and Jon Nielsen grabbed board member reaction. The Dallas Observer weighs in, too.
2. AARP has a theory about Texas' high electricity prices, and deregulation is only partly to blame, Elizabeth Souder tells us. The group thinks bills in the Texas Legislature would help, but those haven't been voted out of committee.
3. The city of Fort Worth has failed to collect $167 million in traffic fines during the last five years, the Star-Telegram reports, and some may have to be written off. I'm always scared my permanent record will be ruined if I don't pay. Silly me.

Survey: Americans Unhappy With Health Insurance
Latest MedicineNet News
Study Survey Shows Greater Satisfaction With Health Insurance in Other Countries
By Salynn Boyles
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
Nov. 17, 2010 -- An international survey shows that the U.S. leads the industrialized world in out-of-pocket medical expenses and lack of access to medical care due to costs.
Americans were more likely than people living elsewhere to report having trouble paying medical bills and going without needed medical care because it was too expensive.
Satisfaction with health care was not much higher for insured Americans than for those without insurance, according to the survey by the health care research and advocacy group Commonwealth Fund.
Dissatisfaction with insurance was higher in the U.S. than anywhere else.
Almost a third of those surveyed in the U.S. said they spent a lot of time dealing with health insurance paperwork or that their insurance denied claims or paid less than anticipated for a doctor's visit, hospital stay, or procedure.
The survey included close to 20,000 adults living in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland.
After the U.S., the countries with the next highest dissatisfaction with health insurance were Germany and France, with 23% of respondents reporting problems. The country with the least dissatisfaction was Sweden, with 4% of those surveyed finding fault with their health insurance.
Among the other major findings:
Medicare Recipients Happier
Older Americans receiving Medicare were far less likely to report problems with their health care coverage than younger ones.
In an interview with WebMD, Cathy Schoen, MS, of the Commonwealth Fund said this is probably because older people don't have to worry that they will lose their coverage.
"Medicare recipients have stable coverage. Once someone turns 65 they've got it and can't lose it," she says. "Right now there is a great deal of fear among insured younger Americans that if they lose their jobs they will lose their coverage."
Americans were among the most concerned of all survey respondents that they would not receive the best treatment or be able to afford it if they became seriously ill.
In a news conference, Commonwealth Fund president Karen Davis predicted that these concerns will decline as health care reforms are implemented.
Will Health Care Law Improve Satisfaction?
While some of the reforms passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama last spring are in effect, many of the most far-reaching will not kick in until 2014, including a Medicaid expansion that is projected to extend coverage to 16 million low-income people.
Other provisions of the law include prohibiting lifetime and annual caps on health care payouts and providing affordable options to people who lose their health insurance when they lose their jobs.
"We may see some improvement in satisfaction earlier, but big differences are not likely to show up until 2015 or 2016," she says.
But it remains to be seen if lawmakers will fully fund the new law, and if Americans will embrace the health care changes if they do.
A poll conducted by Associated Press six months after the law's passage found that a large percentage of Americans have only a very vague idea of what is in it.
Three out of 10 people polled said they favored the new law, while four out of 10 said they opposed it.
Schoen tells WebMD she's confident the reforms will be popular once they are implemented.
"There is already broad support for allowing young adults to stay on their parents' policies," she says. "I predict there will also be broad support for removing annual limits on insurance payouts, which people often don't know they have, and for assistance to help people afford health insurance if they don't have employer coverage."

Make city water fees equitable
Published: Thursday, August 8, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at 6:52 p.m.
In capping Hendersonvilles impact fees for new water and sewer customers, City Council tamped down a potentially explosive election-year issue. Moving forward, city leaders should make sure the citys water fees and rates are equitable, reasonable and encourage conservation.
Council voted to put a cap on the citys impact fees for new water and sewer customers after hearing complaints last month from Larry Rogers, director of the local Partnership for Economic Progress, that the fees were onerous for business owners.
The system development charge is intended to allow the city to recoup costs to expand its water and sewer systems brought on by increased growth and use of the system. Last year, council adopted a new formula for calculating the charge based on water usage.
Rogers said the owner of a local car wash seeking to build another car wash in the city was astonished to learn that his estimated bill came to an unreal $284,139. The developer estimated his cost to hook up his existing car wash about three years ago was about $18,000.
Council last week agreed to cap system development charges for new customers at $10,000 for water and $19,460 for sewer until the city has a chance to study and develop further options. City Manager John Connet requested additional time to finalize options for the revised water and sewer system development charges. His report should be ready within 30 days.
Under the new rate structure council approved in August 2012, smaller businesses that use less water would realize savings of between $132 and $5,380 for water and between $105 and $7,583 in fees for sewer compared to what they paid before, Connet said. Larger water consumers, on the other hand, could expect to pay from $200 to $94,400 more in water impact fees and $272 to $187,986 in fees for sewer under the new rate schedule.
Under the stopgap cap approved last week, fees for larger customers will be capped at those paid by businesses using 5,000 gallons per day. Smaller businesses that use less water would continue to get the benefits of the current rate structure.
Whatever the city manager and council come up with regarding impact fees on new users, this is not the last we have heard of this issue. Every few years it seems, council incumbents face challenges from upstarts, often over charges that the citys policies discourage growth and development. These lines have already been drawn for this years council races, with candidates such as Jeff Miller making the water and sewer impact fees a rallying cry. On top of that, city leaders must also be concerned about the possibility that state government could intervene in matters of water and sewer, as the General Assembly did in transferring control of Ashevilles water and sewer system to a regional entity.
In revising the citys system development charges for new businesses, it makes sense that businesses that use the most water, such as car washes, would pay more than shops where the only water usage is employees using the restroom. Council should make sure the fee structure is fair and equitable and rewards water conservation, while not putting an onerous burden on new businesses.

RANDOLPH – The South Royalton Band, often called the South Royalton Town Band, will headline a free community concert at Gifford Medical Center on Wednesday, July 11. The concert is the first public event in Gifford's new park space since it was completed earlier this year.
Conducted by Dick Ellis, the South Royalton Band plays a mixture of marches, songs from Broadway, novelties, Dixieland music, patriotic numbers and features some soloists.
Marches include the work of American conductor John Philip Sousa, the "March king." Melodies from such musicals as "The Music Man" and "The Sound of Music" will be heard.
"We try to have enough variety that everyone hears something that they enjoy," said Ellis, who is in his 68th year of conducting the band and is known as this area's "music man."
Comprised of about 30 musicians from around central Vermont, the South Royalton Band is among the few surviving town bands in the region. Ellis credits word of mouth with attracting talent to the band and hard work with keeping it alive.
Ellis has dedicated his life to creating music in central Vermont as the band's conductor; as the founder of high school bands in Randolph, Bethel, Rochester and his native South Royalton; and through the family business, Ellis Music Co., which supplies about 4,000 instruments to students in 350 Vermont and New Hampshire schools.
"My ambition was to give every youngster in Vermont the opportunity to play an instrument," Ellis said.
Seven of Ellis' former high school students still play in the band along with his own son and daughter. The band plays Thursdays on the South Royalton green and around central Vermont.
"I like to promote the arts as much as I can and Randolph for many years has been a place without a park," he said.
When Gifford Administrator Joseph Woodin started talking about including a park at the hospital, Ellis was immediately interested. It was an opportunity, he said, to support two of his favorite things – the hospital and the arts.
"I was very glad to see something like that happening," said Ellis, who helped fund the park construction, which was built entirely with donations.
Now Ellis' band kicks off what the hospital hopes are other community events in the park with a free concert.
"We hope many community members come out to enjoy this new space and the familiar favorite that is the South Royalton Town Band," said Ashley Lincoln, director of development and public relations at Gifford.
The concert starts at 7 p.m. and is expected to last until 8:30 p.m. Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or a blanket, and even a picnic supper. The rain date is Wednesday, July 18. If the weather is questionable, visit www.giffordmed.org on the afternoon of July 11 for an update.
The Gifford park is located between the hospital and the Thrift Shop on South Main Street (Route 12) south of Randolph village. Ample parking is available onsite.

Hamburg Ballet's John Neumeier seems to have pulled out every card in a trick deck when he made the strange and often captivating evening-length ballet "Nijinsky," which premiered in the San Francisco Ballet's second season program Wednesday at War Memorial Opera House.
The Wisconsin-born Neumeier has been steering the German company for 40 years and has had a lifelong fascination with the genius dancer/choreographer who slowly went mad after creating ballets for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes that helped change the face of the art form. As Nijinsky himself did in "Afternoon of a Faun," Neumeier gives us a moment in time and keeps us locked in it until the curtain goes down. It was both interminable and gorgeous.
"Nijinsky" opens in the ballroom of the Suvretta House Hotel in St. Moritz, Switzerland, where the 28-year-old artist danced for the last time in a performance he called "Wedding With God." Over the next 2½ hours, Neumeier never lets us leave that room, even though the scenery -- his own designs, as are the costumes and lighting -- changes. Instead, we enter Nijinsky's fevered mind and wake up after this overly long dream where we began.
Even in the opening scene, where the set creates an air of lightness, space and order, madness is meant to lurk. Neumeier shows it in the theatrical chatter of his characters -- all dancers and family (Nijinsky's sister was the renowned Bronislava Nijinska), the charismatic impresario Sergei Diaghilev, Nijinsky's former lover and boss who fired Nijinsky when the dancer married a Polish ballerina in the corps de ballet. It lurks in the fevered clapping of an already disinterested crowd and in the anxiety of his wife, Romola.
It is almost mad to attempt to portray mental illness in dance, and that, I suspect, was part of Neumeier's challenge. Mental fragmentation with depersonalization is one of lunacy's signatures, and Neumeier adeptly captures both as we witness Nijinsky's world multiplying and the figures in it becoming characters in his dances and nightmarish replicas of themselves.
But Neumeier trots out small armies of Nijinskys as the lead, danced by Alexandre Riabko, dances with himself in his famous roles -- the Dionysian Faun, the fragrant Rose, the larky boy in "Jeux." Diaghilevs multiply more ominously, like darkly expressionistic figures, and a blitz of music from Nijinsky's various ballets runs through the night, creating auditory overload. The effect is of an uproar in a vast psychological space.
Riabko as Nijinsky danced with lovely pliancy that echoed the renowned dancer's, but with an emotional blandness that ultimately undercut Nijinsky's air of dislocation yet astuteness that is evident in his diaries that today read like modernist fiction. Romola, who has been characterized in dance lore as a predator, is danced by Hélène Bouchet as a tender companion who carts her husband off like a little boy on a sled at the end. It's a role she performs with a little too much devotion -- we know that this was a young woman obsessed with Nijinsky and determined to snare him. In other words, she was a groupie with an emptiness of her own to fill, none of which we see.
That Neumeier gives us all the imagined objects of Nijinsky's psyche -- his father, mother, brother, rival dancers, dance partners as well as his famous roles, such as Petrouchka and the Rose -- signals how ambitious the choreographer is. But for audiences with little knowledge of Nijinsky's career, is this near-chaos legible? Even for those up on their Ballets Russes lore, all these figures fuse together into an incestuous heap. Beautifully clothed, lit and designed, in the end "Nijinsky" is also safe. Rather than take us into the danger zone of a crackup, Neumeier wears us out with the sheer tedium of insanity. Who knew going mad was so banal?

(1) Is it possible to specify blocked out areas? An example would be a line being positioned prevented from intersecting a particular shape during the process. An alternative is that the line molds itself to the intersecting shape (no longer being just a line).
(2) Is it possible to specify, for example, 10 circles positioned equidistant to each other along a ten inch line at one time?

WASHINGTON (February 15, 2013)--Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., D-Ill., has been charged with spending $750,000 in campaign funds on personal expenses and his wife is charged with filing false income tax forms.
Federal prosecutors filed a charge of conspiracy against the former congressman and charged his wife, Sandra, with one count of filing false joint federal income tax returns for the years 2006 through 2011.
In a statement, the former congressman said he offers no excuses for his conduct and fully accepts responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes he has made.
An attorney for former Jackson's wife says she signed a plea deal with federal prosecutors related to accusations her husband misused campaign funds.
Tom Kirsch told The Associated Press former Chicago alderman Sandi Jackson agreed to plead guilty to one count of tax fraud.
The tax-fraud count carries a maximum 3-year prison sentence but Kirsch said the agreement doesn't "contemplate a sentence of that length."
He said his client and her husband have supported each other.
He said the episode has been stressful for Sandi Jackson, but said she "expected to be held responsible ... and wants to put (it) behind her and her family."

Learning what went wrong
March 26, 2013
When U.S. forces, aided by those from several other countries, invaded Iraq a decade ago last week, many Americans believed a just, necessary conflict was under way and would be concluded swiftly....

What went wrong was that President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick "the torturer" Cheney lied to get us into this awful war. Now after ten years, a trillion dollars and thousands of lives lost President Obama is getting us out of that hole called Iraq. Lesson learned, probably not. Wall Street makes too much money off of wars...Just ask the folks at Halliburton.
To quote 007 James Bond, "Governments change, but the lie remains the same."

Sarah (Beardsley '13) Fry | Communication
M.A. in Communication ('13)
Irving, Texas
Duck Dynasty has made a splash in the world of reality TV and made its way into one graduate student's research.
ACU helped me to find who I am and helped me to gain the confidence to go out and pursue my dreams. ACU's spirit and Christian faculty and staff has helped me grow spiritually and has really set the stage for how I want to be seen as an adult in the professional field.
Sarah Fry, who earned her master's degree in communication in December, wrote her thesis on the Robertson family's portrayal of gender and faith.
Duck Dynasty is a reality show about the lives of the Robertson family, who became wealthy from their family business, Duck Commander, which specializes in making products for duck hunters.
"I had been a fan of the show since Season One, so when I started realizing just how much society has fallen in love with the show, and how it has become such a major pop icon, I thought it would be pretty interesting to study," she said.
When she realized the family incorporated their Christian values into the show, the decision to choose the topic wasn't difficult.
"I have been intrigued about how the family prides itself on having faith as their foundation, and I wanted to see, since it seems like they are doing something right, how the show was portraying the Christian aspect," Fry said.
Fry analyzed how the editors and producers of the show communicate gender roles and portray the family's faith on the show.
Among her findings:
- Christian faith is evident on the show, more so through the subtleness of phrases used and through the omission of vulgar language, sex, alcohol and violence.
- Believers identify with the Christian components and influence within the show.
- Non-believers can relate to the show because of the humor and the antics.
- The women are seen, through the producers' actions, as countering progressive stereotypes, but are seen trying to break the stereotype through their actions such as standing up for themselves.
- They show Mrs. Kay as the stereotypical woman and show the younger women going against the grain.
- Women viewers can identify and relate with both generations due to either relating directly to the character or relating to the breaking of a stereotype.
- The show crafts its own masculine stereotype, rugged and child-like.
- Men can either identify with the humor or with the ways of life themselves.
Fry, who now works on the marketing team for Goldfish Medical Staffing in Plano, said she learned many skills at ACU that will help in her career. "I will be utilizing persuasion, training and development, statistics, and public speaking knowledge that I learned from a majority of my classes on a daily basis," she said.
"There's something about the professors' excitement and motivation that made me want to do well and made me want to learn skills that I can apply not only to a career, but to life itself," she said.

Contestants shuffled through a bamboo forest, slid under a line of skiers, wove through a lift line maze, navigated a ski patrol rope web, swam through beach balls and balanced over a pond of hot chocolate - all in the name of Sally Francklyn.
The event was Copper Mountain's inaugural CopperMan adventure race, and at the last minute, organizers decided to use it to raise money for the former Copper patroller's recovery from a skull fracture. She injured herself while skiing near Jackson Hole several weeks ago.
Through "superhero sponsorships," super hero cape sales and a donation from National Ski Patrol, $900 was raised to help with Francklyn's medical bills. On Sunday, Copper Mountain chief Gary Rodgers announced Copper Mountain would match it with another $900.
Francklyn's Facebook page, which allows friends near and far to follow her progress as updated by her brother, calls Francklyn "Super Woman Sally."
Word among Francklyn's old friends on Copper staff is that, as of Monday, she was still in serious condition, but responded to her family's voice by moving her hand.
Even with Francklyn's condition, the capes brought cheer.
"Everybody loved the capes. No one would take them off," Woods said.
The event was completed on foot, and culminated with the hot chocolate pond (filled with all-natural cocoa for easy and environmentally safe disposal) where spectators shot marshmallows as distraction. Steve Croucher of Vail took first place in the roughly 2-mile snow-venture, though he didn't swim in the hot chocolate.
The race was not only a success in raising money for a friend's recovery. It was also a successful change in direction for the resort, which seeks to finish out each season with an event focus and music as a supporting act.
"It worked," Copper spokesman Pete Woods said. RedBull, the sponsor for Sunday's SlopeSoaker floating rail jam event, is "excited to take it to the next level next year."
The goal was to draw competitors who would participate in the events and bring friends. Live music afterwards is just another reason to stick around, Woods said. In other years and at other resorts, crowds come just for the music. Woods wants them to take advantage of the mountain, as well.
"It was a good-sized Sunsation crowd," he said. "The event helped. We're trying to get people to come during the day ... We're trying to make it a full-day event."
In the minutes leading up to Sunday's headline act, Pato Banton, Burning Stones Plaza in Center Village was about two-thirds full - even with the remnants of the weekend storm clearing out.
"It's what we were hoping for," Woods said.
As of the early hours of closing day, Copper's snowfall in 2011-12 tallied 174 inches. That's compared to totals that reached over 300 inches last season.
"Overall, it was a difficult snow year, but there were several bright spots beyond the sun," Woods said. "Despite the difficult national snow message in January, destination guests returned at a higher level, Copper hosted more competitors during the (United States of America Snowboard Association) Nationals than ever before and the new Union Creek quad did a fantastic job giving quicker access to beginner terrain and Woodward at Copper's Central Park."
Skiing was good up to closing day, with some season-end highlights in Jupiter Bowl and elsewhere on the mountain that saw larger snow deposits with the help of the wind on Sunday.
Woods attributed the good conditions during a largely snow-less March to the hard work of the resort's snowmaking team.
"It's amazing what a snowmaking team can do when they know how to use it right," he said.
And even with less than half last year's snowfall, all of Copper's terrain opened for at least a few days, with the snowcat-accessed Tucker Mountain open for 19 days this season. Woods was unable to provide data on how many days it was open last season.
"It seemed like a good season despite the snowfall, but I'm sure everyone can admit the lack of snowfall was a large player in the way things shaped up this season for the resorts. In all, we had a great season as Copper's base elevation, north aspect and significant snowmaking are distinct advantages. All three paid huge dividends this season," Woods said.
Copper's summer activities include base area adventures, downhill mountain biking, golf and Woodward at Copper's summer camps that include on-hill terrain park practice - even this year.
New this year is a zipline across West Lake. And Copper will continue to focus on events, as Wanderlust, "the ultimate yoga and music experience," launches. Other events will center around a cause, such as the 23rd Annual Courage Classic in support of the Children's Hospital of Colorado and the Copper Triangle in support of the Davis Phinney Foundation and Hike MS.

Sharks center Joe Thornton canceled his trip to the Canadian Olympic men's hockey team's orientation camp in Calgary, Alberta because of an illness to his two-month-old son River, who was in the hospital.
According to ESPN, River Thornton had been in the hospital but was released.
The two other Sharks' players at the camp, defenseman Dan Boyle and center Logan Couture, expressed support for their teammate.
"Our wives are best friends. He made the right decision, you got to stay home. Family is the most important thing," Boyle told ESPN.
"Obviously, we're all hoping that his son is OK and it sounds like he's getting better which is good," Couture said. "We miss not having Joe here. I'll be headed to San Jose once this camp ends and we'll get to catch up with him."
Boyle, Thornton and Patrick Marleau won gold for Canada in 2010 in Vancouver, beating Joe Pavelski and Team USA in the championship game. Marleau was not invited to this year's camp, which continues through Thursday.

Chemistry 401
Catalog Entry
CHEM 401:402. Physical Chemistry
Three hours lecture; three hours laboratory (4:4)
Prerequisites: CHEM102; MATH152; PHYS112 or 222
A study of chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, and quantum chemistry as applied to chemical reactivity, chemical equilibria, and molecular structure.
Detailed Description of Content of the Course
The major topics covered in Chemistry 401 and 402 are those considered to represent the foundations of modern physical chemistry. These topics, with various degrees of emphasis, are common to all recent textbooks written for a two-semester introductory course in physical chemistry. Physical Chemistry represents the first opportunity for students to use calculus in a mathematics-intensive course. The laboratory portion of the course emphasizes the analysis of experimental data and the presentation of results in technical reports.
The following topics are covered in the order given:
Chemical Kinetics: rate laws, mechanisms, catalysis
Equations of state for real gases
Kinetic theory of gases
PVT behavior in condensed phases
First Law of Thermodynamics, thermochemistry
Second Law of Thermodynamics, free energy, Maxwell relationships
Third Law of Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics of solutions and phase equilibria
Chemical equilibrium
Quantum theory: introduction, techniques and applications
Atomic structure and atomic spectra
Molecular structure; rotational, vibrational, and electronic spectroscopy
The first laboratory experiment deals with statistical analysis of experimental data; the remaining experiments involve kinetics, thermodynamics, and spectroscopy.
Detailed Description of Conduct of the Course
The course emphasizes problem solving. A major goal is to provide an environment in which each student can develop an effective means of identifying, analyzing, and attacking problems.
Homework problems are assigned each week, and the students are expected to spend a substantial amount of time solving them. Success on the tests and the exam is directly related to the amount of effort made in the solution and understanding of homework problems. Problems often require calculus and a major goal of the course is for the student to apply calculus to the solution of chemistry problems. Derivations using calculus are often performed during class time to illustrate how important working equations result from basic principles.
Students work in groups of three in the laboratory, and the calculation of results from experimental data is usually a group effort. Students will conduct both introductory experiments and more in-depth experiments requiring use of the literature, advanced instrumentation, new techniques in data acquisition and analysis. Short technical reports will be required for introductory experiments, while more involved experiments and student projects will require a full scientific paper (ACS manuscript format) and may require poster or oral presentations.
Goals and Objectives of the Course
After successful completion of the two-semester physical chemistry sequence, the student will be able to:
1. understand the basic principles of that vast body of knowledge known as physical chemistry
2. appreciate how working equations used in this course and in previous chemistry courses can be derived from basic principles
3. attack chemical problems in a logical manner utilizing calculus when appropriate
4. utilize experimental techniques whereby chemical and physical data can be obtained, analyze data logically, and present experimental results in the appropriate technical report.
Assessment Measures
Assessment of the student's success in the course is based on the grades for three tests, the final exam, assigned homework problems, laboratory reports, and weekly quizzes. The weekly quizzes are announced and cover the previous week's work. The tests, exam, quizzes, and homework are used to assess student outcomes 1., 2., and 3. from part D. Laboratory performance reports are used to assess outcome D4.
Other Course Information
Review and Approval
Revised April, 2009

Because my sister isn't doing the job.
I live in a very small community, great education, have a child,House, self sufficient. Etc.
I had been dating a guy for the past three years, get along great, owned a lobster boat together, skied, dinner every night, etc.
Now he has found his true love via facebook in Florida and I'm the bad guy.
I'm 51, decent looking, loyal, vassar grad in economics. the area I live in there are just no men, I apologize for my grammar, I'm using an iPad. My sister keeps telling me he's a great guy, this while he's making plans to sell the lobster boat and go to Florida,
Please please tell me that I'm too young for this and to get my groove on. I'm heartbroken and feel like I'm being sucked not quicksand in this small town. My sister tells me ways to get him back, not sure if I want to.
Please knock some sense into me.
