PIEDMONT -- The Piedmont High School advanced acting class will present Ken Ludwig's hilarious farce, "Leading Ladies" from Thursday through Sunday.
Set in 1950s Pennsylvania, "Leading Ladies" follows two touring Shakespearean actors, Leo Clark and Jack Gable who find their careers in a rut. When they hear that Florence Snyder, a dying heiress, is looking for her long-lost
relations in order to give them a huge inheritance, the actors scheme to impersonate them in order to get the money. The trouble begins when they realize that the relations aren't Florence's nephews, but nieces. Cross-dressing, romance, slapstick, dancing, fencing, roller skating and even a bit of Shakespeare abound, creating a roller coaster of seduction, heartbreak and lots of comedy.
Piedmont High is no stranger to Ken Ludwig's plays, as the advanced class performed his classic farce "Lend Me a Tenor" two years ago.
"Ken Ludwig writes crowd-pleasing, silly types of plays," director Kim Taylor noted. "After the heaviness of fall's "August: Osage County," it was time to lighten the mood around the theater."
Maddie Pomaro, one of the leads, said: "People love to watch guys dressing as girls. Wait until you see how great all four of our guys look in '50s dresses."
"If you like the movie, 'Some Like it Hot,' you'll love this," said Billy Ireland, another lead actor. "If you've never seen 'Some Like it Hot,' you'll still love this. Basically, come if you like to laugh."
"Leading Ladies" is double-cast, so each set of actors will perform two of the four nights. The March 14 and March 16 shows feature Connor Christiansen, Chris Fetterolf, Grant Gadbois, Dan Meade, Eli Nash, Maddie Pomaro, Talia Purnell, and Jiselle Soss, while the March 15 and March 17 shows have Mara Blumenstein, Wes Dunlap, Billy Ireland, Graham Low, William Meredith, Becca Patton, Alec Sieben, and Maya Tellez.
Tickets for "Leading Ladies" are $8 for students and $12 for adults. Shows begin at 7:30 p.m. in Piedmont High School's Alan Harvey Theater.

I looked at HOD extensively, but could never figure out a way to make it work for us.

Thanks for your reply.
It is a full curriculum that claims to be Charlotte Mason in style. It is very very Christian, which was probably the major turn off for me. You can see it at www.heartofdakota.com

I wish I could be of help but I have never heard of it before now. Would you mind explaining to me what it is? :)

This, except this is why I like it.
I use it and can't possibly say enough good things about it. I have 4 kids, and with this program I am easily teaching all of them with only 2 programs. My kids also love it. We did a mix of Abeka, Bob Jones, and Purposeful Design last year, and we will never go back! If you have specific questions, I'd be happy to help! :)

Skill Level Beginner
So now that we have a new empty project created, its time to start assembling our clips into a movie. Now, how you do this is entirely up to you and the type of project you are creating. You might prefer to make quick selections of shots and drag them into your project before worrying about cleaning them up or trimming them, or you might want to plan out your entire movie shot by shot; it's really up to you. In this chapter, we are going to be putting together the Surfing Clips we imported previously. If you want to work along with me but haven't imported the clips yet, you'll want to do so now. Remember, you can import clips from your hard drive by choosing File > Import and then Movies.
So, we are going to grab portions of these 12 clips, and we are going to try to grab the most interesting shots to use in the movie and to do our best to leave out the boring stuff. And that really should be your mantra: no matter what type of event you're editing together, whether it's vacation footage or birthday party video, or your kid's little league game, get to the good stuff. One of the worst things your friends and family can do to you is to make you sit down and watch unedited video of their vacation directly from their video camera. If you're lucky, you have never had to experience 10 minutes of footage of an airplane wing. But you have iMovie, so you can save your friends and families from having to watch shots of you accidentally pointing the camera at your feet and actually put together a snappy video of your events' highlights that people will actually enjoy watching.
But that's enough preaching for now. Let's see how we add clips to our project. Now, we have actually seen this already, but let's review. I am going to work in a mostly linear fashion here, meaning I am going to pick out what I want the first shot in my movie to be, then pick the second one, and go from there. You may prefer to just skim through and find the good stuff, mark it as a favorite, and then drag everything into the project and then worry about arranging everything afterwards. That's totally fine, but I am going to work linearly here. I am also going to go to the View menu and turn off Playhead Info, because if you recall, we turned that on earlier, and I just don't need to see all the stuff popping up as I am rolling over my clips.
So, I am going to go to View > Playhead Info, and now it's turned off. And I think I want to open my movie with the shot of the surfboard being waxed. Now when I roll over, you can see this is a 10-second clip, and that's probably too long to spend on this shot. So, I am going to skim my mouse over the clip, and you can see there is the part here where he just repositions the board, right there. And maybe I will just pick up the clip from there. So I am going to click and drag, and let's grab maybe about five seconds of that footage.
So you can see a five seconds right next to my cursor there. I release and I will just drag that into my project. I will be showing you how to fine-tune your selection in an upcoming movie, but for now this is fine, and that'll be the opening shot of my movie. Eventually I am going to add a title and some music over it, but we will leave it as is for now. Now I am thinking I am going to have a couple of quick shots of our surfer putting on his gear. So looking at the footage, it looks like the picture goes a little out of focus right about there, so I am going to grab some footage starting right after that.
In fact, I might want to grab a little bit of the out-of-focus footage because I think it can act as sort of a nice transition. So, I am going to click and drag and grab maybe about three seconds there. And we will that into the project. Now, if you are trying to find a relatively short piece of footage, remember you can extend the filmstrip display to show more frames and make it easier to find what you're looking for by using the slider down here. I am going to leave mine set to five seconds, though. Next, we have this clip of the wetsuit being zipped up. Now at the end of this clip, we see our subject's face, and I kind of like how it's revealed there at the end, so I want to make sure that's included.
I want to place my cursor right after he looks at the camera and kind of smiles a little bit and then looks away. And I want to end this clip with that shot, so I am going to drag backwards. I am going to click and then drag to the left, to maybe right before he zips up the suit here. So you can see the zipper coming across right there, so maybe I will grab it right there. We will drag that selection up, and now it's been added to our project.
Next, maybe some shots of the waves in front of the pier here, maybe only a quick shot of that. So let's grab, maybe... let's do about three seconds. You can sort of see how our project is coming together now. Maybe next, we will have him looking out over the ocean here. Now you can see the cameras are getting into place here, so let's grab after that, have a chunk there.
And maybe next we will have this shot of him walking to the water. Now again, this is a 10-second shot, so probably too long for what I want here. Maybe I will grab it right before he throws the surfboard onto the water there. That looks good, and we will drag that in. Now notice I can drag this anywhere, if I want to place the shot in between other shots. But in this case, I am doing everything linearly, so I am just going to drop it in that blank area to put at the end. So we have added some shots to our project, and our movie is well underway.
And this is basically all you do: find the shots you want to use and drag them into the project. Let's play what we have so far. Let's drag my cursor to the beginning and press the Spacebar. (clip playing) So, it's still pretty rough at this point.
We have got some issues with sound being louder in some clips than others. Maybe some of the clips are too long or too short. But we are going to continue to work on it. Next, we are going to start looking how to make more precise selections and edits to our clips.

Female candidates for Congress on upward trend
From USA Today:
The moniker was famously applied in 1992 when four women were elected to the Senate, a high watermark for the chamber that has never been surpassed.
This year, however, a notable number of candidates are running in potentially competitive races in both the House of Representatives and Senate that could send a wave of female lawmakers to Washington in November. If so, it would reverse the 2010 election trend that saw the first dip in female representation in the House since 1978 and only sent one woman, New Hampshire Republican Kelly Ayotte, to the Senate.
In the 2012 Senate lineup, there are 10 female candidates — four Republicans and six Democrats — seeking office. Of the six states with female Democratic candidates — Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Nevada, North Dakota and Wisconsin — none has ever elected a woman to the Senate.
Republican women are running in Connecticut, Hawaii, Missouri and New Mexico.
"Both parties have made a concerted effort to attract more women candidates," said Jessica Taylor, a senior analyst for the non-partisan Rothenberg Political Report. Taylor said campaign operations are cognizant of seeking out diverse candidates and female candidates can be particularly appealing because independent female voters are often a decisive voting bloc in elections.

Palo Alto-based Tesla Motors (TSLA) announced first-quarter revenue of $30.2 million Wednesday, down from $49 million a year ago. And the company posted a wider loss of $89.9 million, or 86 cents a share, compared with a loss of $48.9 million in the same period a year ago.
But Wall Street largely focused on the news that Tesla plans to deliver its all-electric Model S sedan in June instead of July, slightly ahead of schedule. Over 10,000 people have placed reservations for the Model S without test-driving the car.
Tesla's stock rose 5.7 percent in after-hours trading, after closing at $30.06.
"No one in Detroit thought that Tesla could pull this off," said Theo O'Neil, an analyst with Wunderlich Securities. "Now they are saying it's going to be ahead of schedule."
The Model S is being manufactured at Tesla's factory in Fremont. Tesla plans to slowly ramp up volume over time and plans to deliver 5,000 Model S cars by the end of 2012.
Tesla also expects to achieve top safety ratings in independent crash tests from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"Our aspiration is to deliver cars that have zero defects," CEO Elon Musk said during a conference call with analysts.
Tesla revised its financial guidance upward slightly and now expects 2012 revenue of $560 million to $600 million. Tesla's 2011 revenue was $204 million.
In addition, Tesla announced that it has signed an agreement with shareholder Daimler "to create an entire electric powertrain for a new Mercedes-Benz EV," but didn't reveal any financial details in a letter to shareholders. "This program is expected to exceed in value the sum of all powertrain agreements signed in Tesla history."
Musk was asked by one analyst how he divides his time between Tesla and SpaceX, the space launch vehicle company where he is also the CEO. Musk is also the chairman of SolarCity, one of the nation's leading installers of rooftop solar panels, which is preparing for an IPO later this year.
"I'm not getting a lot of sleep," Musk said. "My time is split 50-50 between Tesla and SpaceX; SolarCity is less than a day a month."

Hey, Everybody!
This is a strange problem that has me perplexed. I had Win2k3 installed
on a partition of a 300 GB hard drive. I deleted all other partiitions from
that drive and expanded the bootable partition with GParted.
When I boot into Windows it only shows the orginal size of the partition
(~100 GB) and not the full size of the drive. However, in the Computer
Management console it is showing the C: (System) drive as 300 GB with a
capacity of 100 GB.
How can I get Windows to see the true capacity of the hard drive partition
without reformatting the hard drive?

Middlesbrough Message Board
A Yahoo! User Aug 16, 2006 20:20 Flag
Manchester City have accepted an offer from Middlesbrough for central defender Sylvain Distin.
In what has been one of the summer's longest running transfer sagas, City have repeatedly rebuffed Boro's attempts to land the accomplished Frenchman.
Distin captained City last term and was regarded as an integral figure at the club but Middlesbrough chief Gareth Southgate has been persistent in his desire to bring the player to The Riverside.
Portsmouth were also linked with an approach for the 28-year-old but it would now appear he is closing on a switch to the Teesside outfit.
City have confirmed that Distin is in talks with Middlesbrough about personal terms, with a deal expected to be completed before this weekend's Premiership kick-off.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I think Distin would be a very good buy for us, should we get him. He was massive for Man City last yeara and i think he would be the same for us!
If we get him, and still get Huth on loan until his fitness is fully proved we would have a backline which would be very tough to break down.....Distin, Riggott and Huth playing as a back 3. Not many teams would like to come up against those in a game!
I heard on the radio this morning that "money bags" Redknapp from Pompey has just put a bid in for Distin and is prepared to offer a better salary to him. Lets hope he isnt another foreign mercenary!
Stuart Pearce says he will not give in in trying to persuade Distin to stay and I for one would not like 'Psycho'Pearce on at me for anything. The stumbling block for Pearce is he cannot offer more than £40,000 per week (cheapskate!!), and I get theimpression from the newspaer reports that if he did Distin would stay. I can't say that fills me with assurance if the guy is hanging out for a few grand a week. I don't think this one is cut and dried yet. I would like to see Boro sign Huth even on loan,with a view to buying him, he is younger and a current German international. He could prove his fitess during the season and we could sign him permenantly then.

Music, meetings, more on tap in Honokaa area
The Honokaa Ensemble 2013 Alumni Finale Blowout is this Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Honokaa People's Theatre. This is the final show and you do not want to miss it! Come and enjoy the music one last time. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and show is at 7 p.m. And, the Honokaa High School Jazz Band will perform at the Kahilu Theatre in Waimea at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 10.
Do you want to make a difference? The Carteret Atolls are rapidly becoming a community of "climate change refugees," as their homes are inundated by rising oceans. These low-lying atolls, part of Papua New Guinea, cannot provide fresh water or food other than coconuts, because of salt water contamination, leaving the people entirely dependent on outside resources.
The population must now relocate to Bougainville, 50 miles across the water, to make a new life for their ohana. Progress is under way. Land has been secured, and the first group of "clan houses" for extended families is nearly complete.
Join in a fund-raising initiative continuation by Steve and Jacinta Hanks, teachers at Honokaa High and Intermediate, for the Carteret Atolls, especially for the people of Piul, Jacinta's home island. Come this Saturday, Nov. 9, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. to the Honokaa High & Intermediate School cafeteria for a rummage sale where purchases, goods and monetary donations of any kind are most gratefully appreciated.
Donated items can be brought to the school cafeteria on Friday, Nov. 8, between 2 and 5 p.m. These funds will be used to build additional clan houses for the people of Piul. Amazingly, the cost for a solid home with bath and cooking area is minimal, only $7,000. The goal is to construct 10 more clan houses. To learn more about the Carteret Atolls community and the intensive relocation projects under way, please call Jacinta at 989-0924, visit www.tulele-peisa.org, or just google tulele peisa.
More fundraisers will be coming up, but please help kick off the effort to "adopt a clan house" and make a difference for the people of Piul before it's too late.
The possible affiliation of Queen's Health Systems with North Hawaii Community Hospital (NHCH) will top Waimea Community Association's (WCA) Town Meeting agenda at 5:15 p.m., Thurs., Nov. 7 in Waimea School cafeteria. The entire community is invited to all WCA Town Meetings, and there is no charge for membership, though donations are encouraged to support the organization's ongoing programs. Queens Health Systems (Queen's), corporate parent of the Queen's Medical Center recently entered into an agreement with NHCH to explore the possibility of a formal affiliation with NHCH. In line with this, and in keeping with Queen's recognition of the importance of reaching out to local communities to build positive relationships, being a good community partner, and investing in a healthy Hawaii, Art Ushijima, CEO of Queen's, is planning a series of community forums in North Hawaii. He will be conducting a community "talk story" as part of WCA's November Town Meeting. He also will be conducting two more community "talk stories" as follows:
The first meeting is in Hamakua from 5:30-7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 12, at North Hawaii Education and Research Center (NHERC). This will be hosted by Hamakua Health Center. For more information, call Sue DelaCruz at the Rural Outreach Services Room (775-0617).
The last meeting is in North Kohala, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 18, in the Kohala High School cafeteria. This will be hosted by Kahua Pa'a Mua Inc. For more information, call Carol Fuertes (889-5391). These community talk-stories are part of Queen's Hospital's in-depth due diligence being conducted before moving forward.
"The community attendance and views are important to Queen's and will help determine how Queen's can best serve the growing health needs of North Hawaii and Hawaii Island and be a partner for healthy communities in our State," said WCA President Sherman Warner. While this month's town meeting will be primarily dedicated to the Queen's-NHCH talk-story, there will be brief update on this community now-annual Big Island Giving Tree (BIGT) holiday project, which ensures that our working poor families ¨especially the children ¨and our kupuna are remembered during the Christmas season.
BIGT will launch its gathering of donations on Thursday, Dec. 5, with a festive tree lighting with caroling, entertainment and a light dinner offering at Parker School, and everyone is invited. BIGT is closely integrated into the 53rd annual Waimea Christmas Twilight Parade and all-day celebration on Saturday, Dec. 7, too.
BIGT welcomes donations and also invites community members, churches, clubs, businesses and families to consider adopting a family or a child. Applications are being accepted for individuals or families who might need this extra support during the holidays. For more details — including an application for the BIGT and the famous Waimea Christmas Twilight Parade, with its brigade of festively decorated trucks, and, of course, Santa — visit www.WaimeaTown.org.
For more information, please call WCA President Sherman Warner (885-1725) or Patti Cook (937-2833) or go to www.WaimeaTown.org.

This is not a bad impact wrench. Too many people here are complaining about the lack of power and I would be willing to bet anything that they are all using M or T type connecters. An impact, paint gun, or Die Grinder should not be used with a low flow connector such as the M and T types. If you thought you were saving a buck or two by getting the cheap starter kit or M type connectors and fittings you have made a poor decision. Try using a Milton V type high flo connector and watch your impact orbit the planet. That pressure guage on your tank you have amped up to 125 to run a 90 CFM tool means nothing. Pressure without flow is useless. Crank that tank back down to 90 and put a quality high flow connector on your hoses and male ends on the tools and watch the difference. My words will pale in comparrison to your surprise when you put a high flow connector kit on your tools and tank. The Milton High flow connectors will work with M and T type male fittings; however...why would you want that? The bore in the male end of a high flow connector is nearly twice that of a M or T type, the same is true of the female end (the hose end). Don't forget to replace all of the connectors in the system with high flow. If you leave the M type on the tank to hose end and only replace the hose to tool end, you did not increase your airflow. I have a tank to reel to tool system in my garage. This means I need at least 3 high flow connectors. One from the tank to the feed hose, one from the feed hose to the reel, and one from the reel hose to the tool. This provides optimal flow to my tools. Let her breath and watch her run like a Gazelle. The picture is a side by side comparrison of a M type and V type high flow Male connector. These both fit a 3/8" female connector.

I work as a truck mechanic in the military and i work on my own cars and those of my friends on the weekends. I bought this impact about 6 months ago and the first time i used it i was very disapointed. it wouldn't even pull a lug off of a honda civic. so i oiled it and tried again and it knocked those lugs off like it was nothing. as long as its oiled and i have more than 100 PSI going to it it works pretty well. When compared to the expensive name brand gun that i use at work, this thing is totally worthless. i'd say it will apply about 200 FT/LBS at best. Which for your average small at home projects should be adequate for most.

This is a great impact for general mechanic work. I have this one and the 1/2 earth quake from HF. I use this one to remove lugs and to do general suspension work. I have only had to break out the earthquake when removing rusty axle nuts and crank bolts. If you are doing maintenance on your car and not heavy duty work save the money and grab this sweet impact. My only complaints (and I cant really complain for the price) is it is a bit loud and the plastic trigger could be better. KEEP IT OILED! Overall A+ HF and keep it up.

Good impact
By Zach
from Grand rapids Michigan
I got this impact about a year ago and have used it for everything, pulling rusted and bent bolts from my plow, taking the cab of a crashed pick up, taking lugs of my truck, car and the ol lady's van. At first I had power issues but with good fittings and a couple drops of oil there wasn't any issues. Don't skimp on your air flow. It honestly works and lasted a lot better than I expected it to.

Great power for the price
By Toolman
from Cleves, OH
I have tried many lower priced impact wrenches that did not have the power to simply remove common lug nuts. I have not found a lug nut that this tool couldn't remove with ease. It has a lot of power for the price. Definitely recommend.

Doing America 1
Are you stupid?" the man behind the counter at the garage yelled at me. "Just how stupid are you? How could you be so stupid?"
Honestly, I just stood there, too shocked to say anything.
"Are you an idiot?" he asked, shaking his hand at me.
"Funny you should ask that," I said, trying to make a joke as I reached into my purse. "As a matter of fact . . ."
I slid the book across the counter toward him.
"What's this?" he asked, looking over the rim of his grimy circa-1970s glasses. "Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure . . . what? Club? Is that Club? You one of these idiots?"
"Yeah," I said and tried to laugh. "Pretty much. Guess you could say I wrote the book."
And to tell the truth, that was no lie.
In fact, I was only a matter of days into my book tour and I had already been called an idiot numerous times.
"I think if you get on a plane right now you're an idiot," my mother warmly informed me a week before my plane left for New York. "It's an ORANGE ALERT, you know. ORANGE. Orange isn't something to fool around with! Fool around with yellow, green, or purple, but don't mess with orange! Because I'll tell you right now, if the orange terrorist gets on a plane, it's going to be the one you're on."
"I know," I said, trying to reassure her. "At least if it was the purple terrorist, he'd be easy to spot. He can sing 'I Love You' all he wants, but when that giant eggplant marches down the aisle, no one loves Barney if he's gonna be sitting in your row."
"You shouldn't be kidding around, you should be scared," my mother said, simply because she was.
"Scared?" I questioned bravely. "Listen, I've got a freckle on my arm that's changing colors more frequently than a Rainbow Brite, I have a tooth in the back of my mouth that's thumping louder than a stereo in a '79 Monte Carlo with a chain steering wheel, and either the zipper on the back of my sweater got bent at the dry cleaner's or I now have a neck hump the size of a bagel. I ran out of fear before I even left the house this morning."
But honestly, even I didn't believe myself.
Although I was determined not to let a silly old orange alert keep me from my long-awaited book tour, my mother had planted a seed. In fact, I had caught my imagination wandering about such an event. I had even choreographed scenarios in my head of lunging at the terrorist with a Vulcan grip and a swift kick where it counts. Then I would throw the weeping, bruised evildoer to the ground and shout, "You tell Osama Yo Mama to bring it on with the chicks who simultaneously have acne, gray hair, and suspicious moles, buddy! Because THAT is anger, Captain Cave, THAT IS ANGER!"
Suddenly, I look down and am dressed in a denim jumpsuit unzipped to my sternum, and behind me, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith (please, don't talk Drew Barrymore to me--I was a teenager in the seventies and eighties, and as a result spent nearly a decade of my life with curling-iron burns on my ears, neck, and forehead, some of which matured into scars. Let me have my Farrah Fawcett dream--I have earned it) are ready to hand out free samples of Kickbutt Pie. Oh yeah, and my frosted, immaculately feathered hair ROCKS, making a majority of the other passengers visibly jealous. Now, despite the bravado of my Nick at Nite mind, I was days away from the date of my trip and I was trying very hard not to let my mother's words sink into my brain and nest there. Typically before a big trip I am so excited that I head to the airport days in advance, eating Cinnabons like a bear heading into hibernation. This time, however, I hadn't even started packing for the three-week-long...

American Third Position Party
While going through the candidates for the upcoming WV governor election in October, 2011...I was shocked to see this political party actually being represented in the election. What is more scary is that they seem to be kissing up to the Tea Party.

Their mission statement: government policy in the United States discriminates against white Americans, the majority population, and that white Americans need their own political party to fight this discrimination.'
One glaring problem with this is that "white" people are not the majority. European Americans are currently the largest minority.

ESPN Book: Still sifting through the 700-page beast, which is for sale Tuesday. There are random nuggets everywhere, and here's one about Gary Miller, the former Sportscenter anchor (he left in 2004), who was arrested in 1997 during the American League Championship Series for urinating out of a window on an off-duty cop. Miller's side (page 390): "I have to take a leak really bad, so I walk out and see the line is all the way across the bar and up the stairs … so I found an empty bottle in the corner and I'm peeing into this bottle and I finish doing that, and I didn't really turn and these guys grab me and say, 'You're under arrest.'"

Currently, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Portfolio Managers) Regulations, 1993 (the 'PM Regulations'), regulate investment advisers and require them to register with Sebi. However, the PM Regulations primarily deal with the manner in which client assets have to be managed by portfolio managers. Therefore, there has been some confusion as regards the applicability of the PM Regulations to investment advisers who do not manage or have custody of client assets, but merely give advice on investment products.
As a result, many investment advisers have not registered with Sebi under PM Regulations. To address this lacuna, the regulator issued the draft Sebi (Investment Advisers) Regulations, 2007 (the 'Draft Regulations') to regulate the advisory activities of investment advisers in India. Although the Draft Regulations have not as yet been notified by the regulator, it is necessary to analyse the important provisions of the Draft Regulations to assess their impact.

Postgame Notebook, 11-28-07
|Postgame Links
|Video Interviews
|Audio Interviews
|Photo Gallery
The Caps found their legs and rebounded a bit in the second. Washington was able to tie the game when Florida's Steve Montador committed a miscue the likes of which Caps fans have seen before this season. He fired an ill-advised pass up the middle of the ice from his own goal line. The Caps' Chris Clark intercepted the feed and fired a shot from the high slot that beat Florida goaltender Tomas Vokoun.
That was about enough excitement for one night. The Panthers played road hockey and neither team was able to jump ahead with their rare scoring chances afterwards. Mike Green made a nice feed to Dave Steckel in front, but Vokoun was able to handle Steckel's one-timer.
Green himself had a chance to close the deal just before the seven-minute mark of the third, but his bid rang off the goalpost to Vokoun's blocker side. The Caps' defensive zone breakdowns were much more occasional during the final 45 minutes, and Kolzig was able to handle everything he saw with aplomb.
The Capitals needed two points tonight, but got only one. They can't afford to waste excellent goaltending performances like Kolzig gave them on Wednesday.
Shoot Me, Please – A game this dreary deserved the ignominy of a shootout coda, and as fate would have it, the sparse crowd was subject to an 11-round shootout, the second longest in Washington's shootout history. The Caps were unable to win it despite enjoying a power play for the final 1:59 of overtime.
Alex Ovechkin had the best chance to send the Caps home with two points in the waning seconds of the extra session, but Vokoun's right-handed catching glove got between the left wing's one-time blast and the back of the net.
"He moved and got lucky," said Ovechkin. "If he was left-handed it would have been a goal. He didn't move, but made the save. It's okay though, I'll get it next time."
That's Not Right – There are five right-handed catching netminders in the league who have NHL history against the Capitals: Los Angeles' J-S Aubin, the Islanders' Rick DiPietro, Edmonton's Mathieu Garon, Colorado's Jose Theodore and Florida's Vokoun. Those five goaltenders have combined to go 24-17-3 with six shutouts and a 2.26 goals against Washington during their NHL career.
Those same five goaltenders have a 576-576-24 career record with 76 shutouts and a 2.71 goals against average. It's fair to say that the Capitals have struggled against righty-catching netminders.
First Blood – After Wednesday's shootout loss to the Panthers, Washington is now 0-11-2 in its last 13 games when the opponent scores first. The Caps are 1-11-2 overall when the opposition gets on the board first, the worst record in the NHL in such situations.
Scoreless Third – With 18 third period goals, the Caps are tied for third fewest in the league. Florida has surrendered 33 third period tallies, the most in the NHL. Washington was unable to add to its third-period goal total on this night.
Minute Men – Both Ovechkin (30:09) and Green (25:34) set single-game career bests in ice time on Wednesday. Ovechkin's 11 shots on goal is the most he has had this season, and the most he has registered since he ripped a dozen shots on net in a Dec. 15 game at Atlanta last season. Ovechkin recorded a hat trick – including the game-winner in overtime – against the Thrashers that night.
Kolzig Milestone – Kolzig played in his 676th game with the Caps on Wednesday, passing former Islander Billy Smith and moving into fourth place on the all-time list of games by a goaltender with one franchise. Kolzig trails Martin Brodeur (911 with the Devils), Tony Esposito (873 with the Blackhawks) and Terry Sawchuk (734 with the Red Wings).
Ailing – Caps forwards Clark and Alexander Semin both left the game early with injuries and were unavailable for the shootout. Neither ailment is thought to be serious, and Clark said he would be on the ice for Thursday morning's practice at Kettler Capitals Iceplex.
Kreps a Caps Killer – Kamil Kreps – he of the four career NHL goals – authored the contest-deciding shootout tally. Kreps is already building quite a résumé of Cap killing. Two of his four career goals have come against the Caps
This Date in NHL History – Three noteworthy first NHL goals were scored on this date in league history, one by a short-time ex-Cap and the others by a pair of Hockey Hall of Famers.
Known as "The Road Runner," speedy Canadiens winger Yvon Cournoyer spent his first few seasons in the league as a power play specialist, but later evolved into a solid all-around player. Cournoyer's first NHL goal came on this date against the Red Wings in Detroit.
Defenseman Rod Seiling spent most of his NHL career with the New York Rangers, but he stopped in Washington for one game during the Capitals' inaugural campaign of 1974-75. Seiling scored his first NHL goal for the Rangers against Toronto at Maple Leaf Gardens on this date in 1964.
On this date in 1970, former Maple Leafs great Darryl Sittler tallied his first NHL goal for Toronto against the Detroit Red Wings at Maple Leaf Gardens.
Down On The Farm – Hershey hosted the Binghamton Senators before a sellout crowd at Giant Center tonight. The Bears skated off with a 4-3 shootout victory.
Jay Beagle, Chris Bourque and Scott Barney scored for Hershey. The Senators scored on the power play, shorthanded and on a penalty shot while all three Bears goals came at even strength. Josef Boumedienne and Ben Clymer scored in the shootout for Hershey, while Bears goalie Daren Machesney stopped all four shootout bids after saving 28 of the 31 shots he faced during the game.
The win leaves the Bears with an 11-8 record and pushes them into third place in the AHL's East Division standings.
South Carolina traveled to Biloxi tonight to take on the Mississippi Sea Wolves. The Stingrays scored three power play goals to take a 5-3 decision over the hosts.
Pierre-Luc O'Brien scored twice and Steve Pinizzotto, Stephen Werner and Andrew Gordon netted the other three goals. South Carolina scored three times in the third to erase a 3-2 deficit and make a winner out of goaltender Davis Parley who stopped 26 of the 29 shots he faced.
The Stingrays ended a six-game skid with Wednesday's win.

I don't want to be that guy who says, "as we first told you..." or "we were first on the scene..." or "we're number oooone."
But, after a big night for the station at the Michigan Association of Broadcasters Awards banquet, I've got to give some shoutouts. Reporter Lauren Zakalik-- two Best Awards for her work on the Bath School Bombing and breaking news after the Williamston Tornado. Beth Shayne, who has become one of the best reporters I've ever seen in Lansing, a Merit Award for News Reporter. Brian Hirten (pictured with Beth and Lauren) had his photojournalist work recognized as the best in Market 3 (which is pretty much Lansing stations and Northern Michigan stations like 9 & 10 news). We swept the weather category with Andy Pro winning for best weathercast and Darrin Rockcole a merit award. We also won for community service and a weather promo. It all added up to a "Station of the Year" distinction. News 10 rocks!
OK, maybe I am that guy. But hey, at least I can admit I had absolutely nothing to do with any of these awards. Not sure if that factored in with the judges.

Distributor Kino Lorber announced Monday it has acquired and will release the documentary "Ain't In It For My Health: A Film About Levon Helm."
The documentary, which comes after the April 2012 death of the iconic Band drummer and Woodstock resident, will be released to theaters across North America in early 2013, according to Kino Lorber. Following that will be a VOD and home video release, plus television distribution.
The film, directed by Jacob Hatley, shows Helm and his band recording the 2007 landmark album "Dirt Farmer." That album was part of a major comeback by Helm, in which he won three Grammy awards and reclaimed his place as a pioneering voice of American music.
"Jacob was the perfect fly on the wall for many months as we experienced the ups and downs of a wonderful time in all our lives," said Larry Campbell, Woodstock guitarist and Helm's band leader. "The result is a rare, artful, and honest glimpse into the fascinating world of one of our true American treasures, Levon Helm."

Jimalax.com or stringersshack.com would be a better choice of website to buy stringing supplies. Some kits are as cheap as like 8 bucks. It's also higher quality supplies.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — "Star Wars" creator George Lucas' proposal for a museum to showcase his art collection is among three development projects being considered for a plot of land at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge.
The three finalists for the 8-acre site facing Crissy Field in San Francisco's Presidio were presented on Monday.
The second proposal is by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. It would retain much of the site's open space and include displays about the history of the Presidio and regional open space. The third is by architecture firm WRNS Studio and consulting firm Chora and would create a hybrid museum and science and nature center.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/1aIwbJ3) that the final decision on the site will be made by the Presidio Trust, which has not yet set a deadline to select the winning proposal.

In his first week as the new director of DU's Governmental Affairs Office in Washington, D.C., Gary Taylor has already been busy tackling some of the country's biggest waterfowl-related public policy issues, including the 2012 Farm Bill and future funding for the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA).
As former legislative director for the American Fish and Wildlife Agencies, Taylor is no stranger to these legislative concerns and hit the ground running when he joined the GAO staff on Monday.
"I'm excited and enthusiastic about joining Team DU, and especially about working with the thousands of volunteers and members, the board and staff who have such passion, dedication and commitment to conservation," Taylor said. "As reflected in the most recent revision to the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, conservation is about waterfowl, wetlands and people, and we need to ensure that our citizens know, understand and support that if we are to successfully meet today's challenges to the sustainability of our natural resources."
This is an especially busy time on Capitol Hill and Taylor and his staff encourage DU supporters to take the opportunity to meet with their congressmen during the upcoming recess (July 2-6) and share their interest in the future of waterfowl and wetlands conservation policy. Along with NAWCA and the farm bill, Congress is currently debating a transportation bill that could impact key waterfowl nesting habitat on the prairies and wintering areas along the Gulf Coast, via the RESTORE Act and Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).
"We have several pots at a steady boil right now, and it's crucial that DU supporters make their voices heard across the country on these issues—most importantly reauthorization and funding for the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, retaining a strong conservation title in the farm bill and keeping RESTORE and LWCF funding in the highway bill," Taylor said. "Our volunteers and supporters are some of the most dedicated people I know, and they will be the key to DU's success in Washington and across the country on behalf of waterfowl and wetlands."

2011 News Releases
New Longwood calendar to raise money for scholarships
January 21, 2011
A Longwood University 2010-2011 calendar, produced by the Staff Advisory Committee (SAC), is raising money for scholarships.
The calendar is illustrated with photographs of Longwood scenes, events, and students, and it lists important dates in the academic calendar and various university and alumni events. The calendar was printed by Longwood Printing Services and has been available since the week before the winter break.
This is the second consecutive year that the SAC has raised money for scholarships. The committee did so last year by publishing a cookbook.
"We want to try a fundraiser every year," said Tiffany Dempsey, SAC budget planner and one of three members of a subcommittee that spearheaded the calendar project. "Radford did a calendar last year, and a couple people suggested that we do a calendar. Unlike last year, when only Longwood staff and students were eligible and you had to be attending Longwood, the scholarship this year is also open to staff members' dependents, and you don't have to be a Longwood student."
The calendar is $8 and can be picked up in Dempsey's office in Lancaster 207. People who want to buy one can call or email Dempsey (395-2016, firstname.lastname@example.com). Calendars will be mailed to people for an extra $4.95. It will be sold at Faculty/Staff Appreciation Night at the men's basketball game Jan. 25.
Each month has a large photo above the calendar page, with a smaller photo in an inset. Photos include snow scenes (January and February), the 2010 commencement (May), French swimming pool (June), Color Wars at the 2010 Oktoberfest (October), and the Giving Tree in the Rotunda (December). The calendar includes coupons for Moe's and Chick-fil-A.
"The calendar has a combination of color photos and black and white photos, and new photos and older, archival photos," Dempsey said.
Tim Trent, director of Printing Services, and Dennis Sercombe, associate vice president for marketing & communications, helped produce the calendar. The other members of the calendar subcommittee were Kelly Martin and Jennifer Sawyer, the latter of whom is SAC's secretary.
The SAC cookbook, A Taste of Longwood, was published in November 2009. Proceeds from the 57-page cookbook funded scholarships for three students, two of whom are also staff members. One of those students is a graduate student, the other an undergraduate. The third recipient also is an undergraduate.

Renewal marks hospital's 49th year
of providing local quality cancer care
The oncology program at Gifford Medical Center has received accreditation from the Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons.
Every three years the CoC accreditation program reviews hospital oncology services to ensure that they conform to commission standards and are committed to providing the highest level of quality cancer care (learn more here). After a rigorous evaluation process and on-site performance review, Gifford received accreditation through 2016.
"Our goal is to make sure people know that they can receive the same quality of care offered at larger hospitals close to home, with a support network they know," said Rebecca O'Berry, vice-president of surgery and operations at Gifford. "The accreditation process is work for our entire oncology team, but it is worth the effort. Battling a cancer diagnosis is hard enough—I'm thankful that we can provide quality cancer care locally and decrease our patient's travel time during treatment."
One of smallest hospitals in nation to hold CoC accreditation, Gifford has done so since 1965. Gifford's oncology services include:
- Cancer care from experienced oncologist Dr. John Valentine
- Compassionate and specially certified oncology nurses
- Lab and diagnostic services
- Advanced diagnostic technology, including stereotactic breast imaging
- Patient navigator help with planning options for treatment and to coordinate care
- Outpatient chemotherapy
- Preventative cancer screenings
- Hospital specialists, surgeons, and a robust palliative care program

SEBRING - When it comes to keeping people safe in Highlands County, one of the biggest challenges each year for the Highlands County Sheriff's Office is the annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
But Maj. David Paeplow said the office will handle security at the race as it has done for years, helping to make sure no major incidents mar the event.
Paeplow said the security will be the same this year. He didn't want to release information on the number of deputies, but said the sheriff's office will have "a sufficient force of people out there," to deal with problems.
Obviously, he said, the presence will increase on Friday and Saturday, the day of the race, as the activity increases at the raceway.
As for the possibility of larger threats because the event draws thousands of people, Paeplow said the sheriff's office receives advice from state and federal law enforcement-related agencies.
Paeplow said the raceway pays for the security.
Besides traffic control, deputies deal with mostly minor incidents. Typically, they may make arrests for disorderly conduct, which usually results from alcohol use, he said.
Less frequently, he said, they arrest people for having drugs or for theft, he added.
They've also had incidents in which people were injured. Some of those cases involved people falling off golf carts, Paeplow said.

Kansas Underground Salt Museum
So where do you go in Kansas for entertainment? Underground would not have been my first answer until I did it at the Kansas Underground Salt Museum. There is a seam of salt that extends from MN to TX running through KS and back in the 1850, it was discovered and has been mined ever since. Because of the rarefied air in them, those that have been mined and are "closed" are now used to storage of everything from papers to Hollywood props and costumes. It was an amazing couple of hours as we explored this natural and man made wonder. Here's the photographic challenge. How do you bring this 650′ deep world come to life in your images?
The first challenge is light…there's no sun at 650′ below the ground in a salt mine. You might be saying, "How about a flash?" We are talking at TWO mile section in just the one we were in. Don't think flash is an option so that really only leaves ISO as an option. Well I didn't bring a D3s, I only brought the D3x but had the 24f1.4AFS so then like a moth (which doesn't live in the mines) I seeked the light. In this case, the lighting for the displays was our only lighting source. So armed with ISO 400 / 800 at 1/25 I went shooting and had a ball!

Chapel Team Announces Plans for Holy Week Worship
Decatur, GA.—The chapel team responsible for services during Holy Week has announced its plans to provide worship for the seminary community, March 21-24. Worship will be held on the seminary's campus each day at 10:00 a.m. in the Campbell Hall Chapel, except worship on Wednesday, which will be held in the Harrington Center Chapel. The team chose the week's worship themes from the daily Lectionary passages in Isaiah and John: Monday's theme is "Call to Discipleship," based on Isa. 42:1-9 and John 12:1-11; Tuesday's theme of "Mission" was chosen from the Isa. 49:1-7 and John 12:20-36 readings. Wednesday's theme is "Cost of Discipleship," based on texts from Isa. 50:4-9a and John 13:21-32. The theme for Maundy Thursday is "What Does It Mean to Follow Jesus to the Cross?" from John 13:1-17 and 31b-35. In addition the team plans to open a Spirituality Center in the Harrington Center Chapel from Sunday, March 20, at 6:00 p.m. through Easter Sunday on March 27. Plans for the Spirituality Center include an indoor labyrinth, as well as sacred spaces for meditation with art and music, and praying and reading using devotional resources. The chapel leadership team for Holy Week includes senior M.Div. students Devon Beisser Ducheneau, Mike Ducheneau, Stuart Higginbotham, and Amy Summers-Minette. Columbia Theological Seminary, located in Decatur, Georgia, was established in 1828 and is one of 10 theological institutions of the Presbyterian Church (USA). xxx

The streets of Malone were lined with community members paying their respects Wednesday afternoon as Master Sergeant Lawrence Jock's remains were driven to the Spaulding Funeral Home from Albany.
The late Lawrence Oliver Jock and his family were from Ft. Covington, New York.
His parents received a letter in July 1953 indicating that he had been killed by Chinese forces in North Korea.
Thanks in part to the determination of a relative with an interest in genealogy, Jock's remains will return home.
Jock joined the service when he was 17 years old and served for nearly 19 years. He died at age 37.
Jock's niece arranged for a relative's DNA to be sent to the Army so that her uncle's remains could be identified and returned home.
On Friday, there will be calling hours from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Spaulding's followed by a full military honor funeral service.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Many healthcare providers are quick to advise patients to quit smoking, but few follow up with programs, plans or prescriptions to help them break the habit, new research from UC Davis has found.
In the most comprehensive national study of its kind, Elisa K. Tong of the Division of General Medicine at UC Davis, reported that health professionals in the United States do not fully follow national guidelines for working with patients who use tobacco products.
Survey participants cited numerous barriers to compliance with the guidelines, including their own tobacco use, perceptions of patient attitudes about quitting, a lack of training in smoking-cessation interventions and a sense that it was not part of their professional responsibilities.
The study appeared online this month in Nicotine & Tobacco Research, and will be published in the July issue of the journal.
"This paper presents two important findings," said Steven A. Schroeder of the Division of General Internal Medicine and Smoking Cessation Leadership Center at the UC San Francisco, who contributed to the study. "First, although clinicians could play an important role in helping smokers quit, far too often they do not do so. Second, clinicians themselves have very low smoking rates. Even nurses, who were previously assumed to be heavy smokers, are substantially below the national average. If the entire country smoked at the rate of health professionals, the United States would be one of the healthiest nations in the world."
Tong and colleagues surveyed seven groups of health professionals whom smokers are most likely to encounter: primary-care physicians, emergency-medicine physicians, psychiatrists, registered nurses, dentists, dental hygienists and pharmacists. They set out to determine the respondents' smoking status and also to examine whether they perform the "5 A's" with patients: asking, advising, assessing, assisting and arranging follow-up about tobacco use.
They found that 13 percent of registered nurses smoke, fewer than the national prevalence of 20 percent, but far more than other categories of health professionals.
They also found that up to 99 percent of health professionals report that they ask patients and almost as many advise them about smoking risks. But far fewer help them get the help they need to quit. For example, among registered nurses, 87 percent reported asking if a patient smokes, and 65 percent said they advise smokers to quit. But only 25 percent of respondents reported assisting smokers to set a quit date.
The low rate of assistance for patients was similar across the board, except among primary-care physicians, who reported assisting patients to set a quit date nearly 60 percent of the time.
Tong said primary-care physicians have been the main focus for smoking-cessation efforts, but are insufficient to help most smokers quit. She cited evidence that non-physician health professionals can be effective and that being asked about smoking by more than one type of health professional can increase the odds of a patient quitting.
"We know that provider advice is one of the simplest and most important things to help a smoker to try to quit and stay quit," said Tong. "Providers are not doing enough. It should be a priority for all health professionals, not just primary-care physicians."
Tong noted, for example, that smoking prevalence among mental health patients is high and that emergency room physicians are often on the front line of health care, but neither group sufficiently follows the guidelines. Referring to telephone "quitlines" such as the national 1-800-QUIT NOW is one way all health professionals can improve in assisting smokers to quit.
"Those are missed opportunities if they don't address tobacco use," she said.

The Wrekin Housing Group welcomes new partner
Published by Stacey Childs for Wrekin Housing Trust Ltd in Housing and also in Health
Managing Directors of each company
The Wrekin Housing Group, which already includes two housing organisations, The Wrekin Housing Trust and Choices Housing Association, is to be further enhanced by a third partnership arrangement with Shropshire Housing Alliance (SHA).
An event was held at The Wrekin Housing Trust's offices today to welcome the new partner and celebrate the success of the existing partnership with Choices.
With offices in Shrewsbury and Market Drayton, SHA is an organisation that provides mediation housing support and advice services, to help those in need or in danger of losing their home to access services and agencies relevant to their particular circumstances.
SHA also runs various furniture schemes including the innovative 'Reviive' in Shrewsbury, London and online. The new partnership has already started work on bringing a new Reviive store to Telford, helping more people to furnish their homes in a cost effective way while also reducing waste by bringing back into use good quality furniture.
SHA joins an already strong and successful partnership between The Wrekin Housing Trust and Choices Housing Association, who are already working on a number of joint projects. These include a 16 bed 'hotel' offering care and respite facilities in Bucknall, Stoke-On-Trent. Plans have also been submitted for a brand new development at Stone Road in Stafford, to include extra care and dementia schemes and provision for adults with learning difficulties.
The Wrekin Housing Group can now enhance its 'offer' to existing and future customers in Shropshire and Staffordshire. Alongside this the Group partners will benefit from sharing each other's services and skills and, through the strength of the partnership, maximise its potential to explore new opportunities to access more funding for development and other initiatives to respond to customers' needs.
Anne Ward, Chair of The Wrekin Housing Group, said: "I am delighted that Shropshire Housing Alliance has decided to join the Group partnership. Its excellent range of support services, together with the specialist care work of Choices and the comprehensive services provided by The Wrekin Housing Trust has created a unique business model with a multiplicity of skills that puts us in a strong position to achieve our objective to help more people in the existing and new areas where we work."
James Wood, Chair of SHA also said: "We're thrilled to be able to announce this new partnership with The Wrekin Housing Group. We know that this is going to be a great partnership and that it will enable us to expand our services and help more of those in need."
To find out more about The Wrekin Housing Group's range of services or how the new partnership can help or support your organisation please contact Beverley Ashton on 01952 217235 or email email@example.com

DEAR AMY: I have a 5-year-old nephew who is starting kindergarten. He is a fantastic little boy who likes "boy" things like cars, but he likes many "girl" things like Barbies, Minnie Mouse and My Little Pony. He is the most interesting 5-year-old boy I know.
When we were at the store, he picked out a My Little Pony lunch box for school. His mom is worried he will get picked on, and so am I, but I am concerned about sending the message that he should not be himself. I want him to love school, make friends, but not change who he is.
The next thing to buy is the backpack. He will want something girly, and mom feels she should steer him toward a plain backpack, which I know he won't like.
The question I have for you is this: How do we encourage him to be himself and try not to set him up to be picked on because he doesn't like traditional "boy" things?
Anxious Aunt
DEAR ANXIOUS: At 5 years old, your nephew has probably had experiences on play dates or perhaps at preschool where he had to navigate around and through gender-based toys and play. You don't mention this has ever been a problem, and you should not have him starting kindergarten assuming this will become a problem.
If your nephew is the most interesting boy you know, there is a likelihood that he will always make choices that are outside the proverbial lunch box. He will also get picked on at some point -- but clever, sensitive and creative people do get picked on, because being different riles people who want to bully others into their own comfort zone.
The kids who succeed through this are the kids who know they are awesome -- even if (and/or because) they are different.
There is a strong case to be made for not having any commercial products on his lunch box and backpack, but his play preferences will surface, even if his folks suppress them on his clothing.
His parents should let him make his own choices and stand in his corner as they help him navigate the consequences follow.
DEAR AMY: I've known my friend a long time. She is kind and humorous, but she has strong "anti" opinions about some things (she is conservative and I am liberal).
I know that she won't change her opinions (she is also religious).
If anyone else was bashing or arguing about those topics, I would stand up and give my opinion. With her, I find myself staying quiet and letting her rant.
When she leaves, I feel guilty for not saying something. We soon won't be seeing a lot of each other. I don't know whether I should continue with the friendship or let it drop off gradually?
Likable Liberal
DEAR LIKABLE LIBERAL: Maybe you stay quiet because you're thoughtful and don't want to be shouted at.
Your friend will not adopt another viewpoint. But I do know this: She won't change if nobody asks her to behave differently.
You should say, "I don't expect you to change your views, but your negativity is very challenging for me. You seem so angry, and I find it hard to respond."

That image of a pitched roof has destroyed more forests. I want to teach children to think of houses in the shape of bubbles and rainbows." -Nader Khalili
Our hands-on approach engages children of all ages in learning through interactive exercises and storytelling for a truly fun and educational experience. We provide an introduction to alternative architecture for grades K-12. Cal-Earth's Youth Workshops offer an abridged version of the adult workshops to learn Superadobe building techniques. Join us at Cal-Earth for a day of learning through storytelling, exploration and play.
Children are encouraged to explore and play in, and on, the buildings throughout the site. Because the techniques developed and tested at Cal-Earth are simple, direct, and understood through the hands and senses, children can be full participants and easily gain a thorough understanding of the building methods taught.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS: The Children will learn through the life size examples of the Cal-Earth buildings about living in harmony with the environment: How to build and live with only what they find around them in the natural environment, and the principles of how to utilize the natural elements of Earth, Water, Air and Fire, to create a Utopia. How to use earth as building material, wind in wind-catchers, solar energy for glazing buildings and for cooling them, shade for making ice reserve systems, earth and clay as the most precious resource. "Earth is not dirt, it is better than gold".
"Thank you for explaining how we can save the earth by not using only wood for houses ... like the arches and the mud and filling the sand bags thank you for letting us."
BUILDING WITH EARTH: The children learn how to build their home with arches, vaults and domes, using the earth under their feet as the alternative material to timber, steel, or concrete. And how to use the Superblock construction system, adobe techniques and how to make adobe plaster. Because the systems developed and tested at Cal-Earth are simple, direct, and understood through the hands and senses children are our best students. They learn faster than any adults!
"I liked getting in the mud. I liked putting on the plaster."
EMERGENCY HOUSING: The children learn how, with a few bags and a shovel they can build a flood and fire-proof, earthquake and hurricane resistant emergency shelter for themselves, their family and their community in a few hours.
STOPPING DEFORESTATION: The image we all learn to draw as a child is a pitched roof, a square window, and a chimney. If we can change that image to a rainbow arch, half the forests of the world can be saved for future generations.
"I don't want to draw a pitched roof. I love the dome."
