Seeing the Big Picture
From earliest times, human beings have pondered their place in the universe. They have wondered whether they are in some sense connected with the awesome and immense cosmos in which the Earth is imbedded....
NASA Space Based Astronomy
These words introduce the motivation and the methodology for the research done aboard NASA's Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO). Operating the KAO requires a dedicated team of researchers, astronomers, computer and telecommunications experts, pilots and aircrew, electrical engineers, navigators, ground crew and many more. For 20 years, the KAO has made breakthrough discoveries concerning planets, comets, stars and galaxies. Now, for the first time, you and your students have the opportunity to take an electronic field trip aboard the KAO via interactive video and computer networks.
This Teacher's Guide is designed to offer you a secure place from which to take off and land. And--in between--to offer you wings to fly your own course, providing a wide menu of possibilities which you can customize for your specific circumstances--the subjects you teach, the students you work with, the technology to which you have access.
The KAO is a noisy environment, but its headsets are designed so those
onboard can communicate clearly. Throughout this Guide, you'll find sidebars
full of the voices of the men and women who articulate the Kuiper spirit:
enthusiastically exploring scientific frontiers, using state-of-the-art
technology to help answer some of the grandest questions to confront humans.

PETER REYNOLDS was born in Cardiff where he studied and now lives and works. During the 1980s he received several bursaries to attend the Dartington Summer School where he attended composition classes by Morton Feldman, Peter Maxwell Davies and Gordon Crosse. He was awarded the Michael Tippett Award for Composition in 1986. His first large-scale commission, a work for chamber orchestra, was completed in 1987 for the Dartington Summer School.
His music has been has been broadcast on Radio 3, BBC Wales and BBC Television and performed in Britain, Europe and the USA at venues and festivals including Bangor New Music Festival, Brighton Festival, Brangwyn Hall, Swansea, Chapter, Cardiff, Cheltenham Town Hall, Dartington International Summer School, Go West Festival, Lincoln Cathedral; Late Music Festival, York, Lower Machen Festival, Purcell Room (Southbank Centre), St Davids Hall, Cardiff, Symphony Hall (Birmingham), Vale of Glamorgan Festival, Wales Millennium Centre, Waterford New Music Week, Ireland, & Welsh Week (Brussels).
In 1993 his opera, The Sands of Time was recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as a world record for the world's shortest opera at 3 minutes and 34 seconds. He joined the academic staff of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Cardiff in 1994 and has also been a tutor of composition there since 2002.
In addition to his work as a composer, Peter Reynolds was Artistic Director of both the Cardiff-based PM Music Ensemble and the Lower Machen Festival (1997-2009). He is also a writer on music and published a history of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in 2009.
His music is characterised by stillness, simplicity, an occasional playfulness and a tendency to set unusual and quixotic texts. His music avoids large-scale rhetorical forms and is often fashioned on a small-scale and revised over many years before reaching its final shape.

LAHAINA - When the Hana High School girls volleyball team got a taste of the Division II state tournament last season, the Dragons decided they wanted more.
They clinched that chance with a 25-18, 25-21, 25-19 sweep of longtime nemesis Molokai in the semifinals of the Maui Interscholastic League D-II tournament at the Lahainaluna Gym on Thursday.
"We just worked together, staying together is what makes our team," senior outside hitter Shalen-Brae Hoopai said. "It feels really good, no words to describe it."

Her father and coach, Louis Hoopai, said the Dragons gave him some nervous moments when the Farmers rallied from 18-7 down in the third set and got within 23-19 - two kills by Hana's Brandy Lecker-Tolentino finished the hour-long match.
The Dragons will play top-seeded Seabury Hall in the tournament final today at 5 p.m. at the Lunas' gym. The Spartans defeated Lanai 25-6, 25-11, 25-21 in Thursday's other semifinal.
"No way we expected to sweep (Molokai)," Louis Hoopai said. "Their defense is tough. Maybe they only have one or two good hitters on the team, but their defense is unreal."

Shalen-Brae Hoopai said the competition in the MIL - Seabury Hall is the defending state runner-up and ranked eighth in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser top-10 overall poll this season - has made the entire league better.
"I think it brought us together more as a team," Shalen-Brae Hoopai said. "Coaching and practice made us better, but playing tough teams is good for us. We just had to work hard tonight."
Lecker-Tolentino led the Dragons (8-3) with five kills and Jayna Hoopai and Rachel-Lee Scott each had four kills. Precious Helekahi finished with 10 assists and Scott added five aces.
The Dragons and Farmers (9-4) split regular-season matches on the Friendly Isle, but Hana grabbed the important second seed for the tournament based on sets won head-to-head, 4-3.
"We were just trying to spread out our hitters because they were putting up a good block, so we wanted to stretch out our hitter so we could hit the seams," Louis Hoopai said. "I was worried in that third set, it looked like they were coming back. I could not put in my second string, (the Farmers) are too tough.
"At this point, you have got to go hard or go home."
Louis Hoopai agreed that the entire MIL Division II has been tough this season. He pointed to St. Anthony taking Lanai to five sets on Wednesday and Maui Preparatory battling Molokai.
"I think so, I'm pretty sure everybody is better," he said. "Seabury, they have got trees over there and that is a well-rounded team. To put up a fight against them, I think we have a chance also."
Molokai fell short of the state tournament for the second year in a row. The Farmers are the only MIL girls team to ever win a state crown, in 2010.
"Hana came out to play, they really showed up," Molokai coach Mahealani Rawlins said. "We are much better than how we played tonight. We had one of our key players who took a family vacation to Disneyland - one week out and it showed."
The Farmers got nine kills from Taylor Keliihoomalu, four kills apiece from Rebecka Adolpho and Taylor Tamanaha, four digs apiece from Kelsie Espiritu-Tanabe and Caylee Ledesma, and 17 assists from Shaniah Mollena-Lopez.
"I'm pretty sure both Hana and Seabury will do well, represent the MIL well at state," Rawlins said.
With Seabury on the horizon, Hoopai said, "We have got to serve tough and stretch out their blockers, try to hit our seams. Same thing as tonight."

DSS Basic Hogarthian Harness Rigging Guide.
Visit our YouTube Page
Click for assembly video
Click for disassembly video
Click for Stability Demonstration Video
These are the parts you start with:
1 Roll of Resin reinforced 2" webbing
Knife with sheath
3 pieces of inner tube
1 waist buckle
2 bent Drings
1 straight Dring
3 serrated keepers
The crotch strap is furnished assembled with the sewn in "Scooter" dring, the "butt" dring and serrated keeper, and the plain keeper used to secure it to the backplate.
Step 1:
Plate shown with the tank side up.
Position the middle of the 2" webbing on the middle of the tank side of the back plate. Feed the webbing through the angled slots to the diver's side of the plate, and back through the upper slots.
Step 2:
Plate shown with diver's side up.
First slide one piece of the inner tube up the left strap, and fit one bent dring and keeper on each shoulder strap.
Step 3:
Plate shown with diver's side up.
Slide one piece of inner tube on to each shoulder below the Dring. Feed the shoulder straps through the lower harness slots. The outside edge of the shoulder strap should be in contact with the top of the inner slot.
Step 4:
Plate shown with diver's side up.
Feed the end of the webbing back thru the outboard slot, this becomes the waist strap. Please note: The DSS Stainless Back Plates include molded in rubber strips inside the lower slots to keep the webbing from slipping, there is no need to put weight belt keepers on the backside of the plate. Fit one of the Straight drings on the left waist strap, and slide the knife sheath on to the left waist strap.
Step 5:
Plate shown from both sides.
Lace the crotch strap through the horizontal slot the bottom of the plate and back through the plain keeper a second time. The webbing goes through the keeper, through the plate and then back through the keeper a second time. The fourth dring, one of the straight drings, is shipped already laced onto the crotch strap. After adjusting the harness and crotch strap this "butt" d ring should be about one "hand" below the lower edge of the plate.
Lace the waist belt buckle on to the left waist strap as shown. Initially it is recommended that the waist belt be left long, and the excess webbing extend beyond the buckle. This can be trimmed after all required adjustments are made.
This is the Basic Rigged Harness, now it needs to be adjusted to fit the diver.
DSS Single Tank Assembly Details
To better display how a DSS single wing, cambands and back plate assemble and disassemble, the photo on this page and two very short video downloads have been prepared.
DSS LCD 30 Wing, and Medium SS Backplate with Hogarthian Harness and Dual Cambands.
This photo shows the two basic components ready to be assembled.
1. The back plate with harness and cambands.
2. The wing.
There are no other loose parts. This is typically how these two basic components would be separated for cleaning, or packing for transportation.
Notes: The back plate pictured has 8.1lbs weight plates fitted. The weight plates do not effect how the wing mounts or demounts. The purple wing is my daughters, it's an "art student" thing :)

Notes on the videos:
All videos are unedited.
All the gear depicted is regular production DSS products, excepting the purple fabric.
Video #1 depicts the time and effort required to assemble a DSS wing to a DSS back Plate, ready to mount on a tank.
Video #2 depicts the time and effort required to disassemble a DSS wing and back plate, to ready for cleanup or packing.
Sorry for the small size, I'm new to the video thing.
Regards,Tobin George
Often the question arises merits of a bolt on Single Tank Adapter vs the DSS solution that does not use a STA.
Some previous approaches to mounting a single tank to a backplate have been less than ideal.
These prior solutions would often allow tanks to rock from side to side, cambands to become loose, and were generally not very secure.
The DeepSeaSupply approach has solved these problems, and when properly adjusted single tanks are very secure.
Below is a link to a short video. Shown is a DSS backplate bolted to a piece of plywood. Mounted to the plate is a DSS LCD 30 wing and a AL80 tank using the standard DSS cambands. The sides of the wing are being held up off the plate with tape just for clarity.
The video shows the plywood and plate being dropped vertically on to a hard surface. Note how the tank remains in position.

Basic Photography Fredericksburg, Texas
04/05/2014 - 04/11/2014
Why? Say goodbye to blasé photos and get ready for a new world of photographic possibility. After a week of immersion in RMSP-style education, you'll understand how your camera works—and how to make it work capturing the beauty and moments around you.
What? During this week of learning the basics, you explore the craft of photography with an instructor who makes the process fun. Split between classroom lectures, hands-on field shoots, and lively critique sessions, you listen as topics are thoroughly explained indoors—and then actively explore them through trial and error outdoors. Your instructor teaches you the building blocks of photography: Shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and how they all work together to determine exposure. You learn how to interpret your camera's histogram, adjust the white balance, and use its various metering modes. An A–to–Z equipment lecture covers cameras, lenses, tripods, and more. Learn how to use depth of field to stunning creative effect, and how techniques for composition can make your images sing. Group critiques help you identify areas you can improve while letting you see the work of your classmates.
Who? You're a beginning photographer who wants to learn to use your camera in manual mode—and take the best pictures of your life.

Important notes about tripods
The tripod head will affect your photography more than the tripod legs. There are two basic kinds of tripod heads, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages:
- Pan/Tilt Head: You can rotate the head (also called panning, which allows you to follow a moving subject), tip it forward and back, and tilt it side to side. A protruding handle controls each separate motion, which can make these awkward and time-consuming when you are on the go. These are good for commercial studio and architectural photography where you can take the time to set up a shot. In these cases, having separate locks for separate planes can be crucial.
- Ball Head: Ball heads are generally lighter and smaller than traditional pan/tilt heads. They are also faster to use, because you can compose and lock the camera with only one control. This makes these great for nature/landscape photographers. Most other photographers prefer ball heads for their many possible camera angles.
We recommend buying a head that pans (rotates), and that has a quick release plate (allows for quickly mounting your camera). Kirk Enterprises is a great US manufacturing company that creates custom quick release plates for every available camera.
- Aluminum, carbon fiber and basalt are the three materials used in making tripod legs. Carbon fiber is lighter-weight and sturdier over time, but more expensive.
What is the 2017 workshops schedule?Please see our Event Calendar.
Which workshop is right for me?
Depending on the workshop, varying levels of photographic knowledge are recommended for enrollment. For those interested in building a solid photographic skill base, we have designed a stair-step approach that teaches you to think, see and create with your camera. We call these our "Foundation" workshops. Beginners should start with Basic Photography, then progress to Intermediate Photography. Additional Foundation workshops such as Lightroom for Photographers, Photography of People, Macro Photography and Flash Photography will help to round out your technical know-how.
Our "Travel" workshops invite you to some of the U.S.'s most stunning locations, under the wing of our accomplished instructors. For most of these workshops, we require that you are familiar with the manual operation of your camera. Check individual workshop listings under the "Considerations" or "Who?" section for this information. It will help you make a good decision about what workshop is a good fit for you.
If you are uncertain about where you should begin, please call and we will be happy to help you decide what class is right for you.

Procedurals, less meaty roles put women in tough spot at kudos time
It's still a male, male, male world — at least when it comes to most of the Television Critics Assn. nominees.
This year's pack of TCA hopefuls includes just two actresses out of 10 nominees for individual achievements in comedy and drama.
And other than "Grey's Anatomy," the finalists for program of the year and achievement in comedy and drama are all male-driven skeins (such as "The Sopranos," "The Office," "House" and "24").
Is it still tough for women to score TV roles that are critic-friendly?
"Men are the leads, and women are the seconds in so many shows," says Sacramento Bee TV columnist Rick Kushman. "Or you get the rare exception like a 'Desperate Housewives' that's all about women, but then in an odd way nobody stands out because it's an ensemble."
Both actresses nominated for a TCA award star in their respective skeins: Lauren Graham, for the WB's "Gilmore Girls" (a long-standing critic fave) and Kyra Sedgwick for TNT's "The Closer."
On the flip side, none of the cast members from the femme-centric "Grey's Anatomy" made the cut — despite being nominated for both program of the year and top drama. But neither did the stars of another ensemble show, "Lost," which also earned a berth in both categories.
Part of the problem: Unlike most awards — including the Emmys and the Golden Globes — the TCA doesn't distinguish between men and women. That may make for a more gender-blind award, but it also limits the number of nominees up for an acting award.
Indeed, the surplus of procedurals has led to fewer female-led dramas on the broadcast web side; women-driven sitcoms have also declined (along with the number of comedies in general).
"When you think of ensemble crime shows, the No. 1 cop is always a guy," Kushman notes. "What hasn't changed is the way Hollywood tells stories. Maybe it's the same people who continue to tell stories or continue to greenlight those stories."
The success of "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy" has started to alter the gender balance back toward more women-centric shows, particularly as the nets once again embrace sudsers and open-ended dramas.
For this upcoming fall, buzz is already swirling around ABC's "Ugly Betty," which stars America Ferrara; the Alphabet is also launching the hourlongs "Men in Trees" (starring Anne Heche) and "Brothers & Sisters" (Calista Flockhart).
And on the comedy side, Tina Fey stars in NBC's "30 Rock."
Still, the majority of new shows hitting the air this fall are still centered around male characters, or ensembles led by men.
"There are just more meaty roles for men than women on TV," Kushman says.
But don't blame the crix: "It's an indictment on TV, not on us."
Women fared better in the movie, miniseries and specials category, as well as in the children's programming arena. For the longforms, the Gillian Anderson-led "Masterpiece Theatre: Bleak House" and the HBO entry "Elizabeth I" (starring Helen Mirren) scored noms.
And among kids, the picks included "Dora the Explorer," from Nickelodeon.
Despite the gender imbalance, the TCA doesn't plan to divide its acting categories into the more typical male and female categories.
"The general consensus in the TCA membership has been we want it simple, we don't want it too big," Kushman says.

Bret Harte was born Francis Brett Hart on August 25, 1836 in Albany, New York, the third of Henry and Elizabeth Hart's four children. Harte's father was responsible for the change from Hart to Harte sometime in the 1840s, and the author himself would be known as "Bret Harte" from the time of his literary breakthrough in the late 1860s. Harte was of mixed Dutch, English, and Jewish heritage, being descended from the prominent Jewish merchant, Bernard Hart, and the distinguished upper New York state families, the Bretts, the Truesdales, and the Ostranders. Harte's father was a schoolteacher and tutor of Greek, who died when Harte was nine. Harte's formal education ended at age thirteen, probably due to the family's difficult financial …

Wallet-friendly webcams
Just looking for something basic to get started? You can choose from a variety of affordable webcams that let you enjoy video calls on a budget.
Image quality. It's more than just megapixels.
Seeing the smile on your grandson's face or the glitter off your daughter's engagement ring is so much better than a phone call. And a webcam can really make these experiences possible, even when you're separated by thousands of miles. But getting the right webcam is more than just a matter of finding the one with the most megapixels.
The truth about megapixels
A higher-megapixel sensor doesn't equal high-quality images on its own, so it's important not to just look at megapixels and forget about the other aspects of the camera.
The right lens
The lens is what captures the light that gets turned into the image by the sensor. If your lens isn't good, it doesn't matter how many megapixels you've got. A bad lens is going to give you a bad image.
Maintaining focus
Ready for your close-up? You're not only going to need a good lens—you're going to need a good focusing system. A lot of webcams have either a manual focus option or no focusing system at all. If you get too close, you can end up fuzzy.
What about HD webcams?
When it comes to video calls, the maximum resolution is 640-by-480 pixels, otherwise known as VGA resolution. Today, you can't make an HD video call on any of the free instant-messaging applications.
See all webcams that can capture HD video.
Find out why Logitech HD webcams offer so much more than HD.
Power and connections
Most computers sold today have no problem handling a video call. But if your computer is a little bit older or you're not using a fast connection, you might run into difficulty. To get good clarity and smoothness, your computer needs to meet the minimum requirements to support a video call.

The first flight of the Russian Soyuz rocket from South America will occur in early 2011 and Europe's smaller solid-fueled launcher will not debut until at least the middle of next year, according to Arianespace's chief executive.
Speaking to Spaceflight Now last week, the launch services firm's top manager said the Soyuz launch pad at the Guiana Space Center has been finished after several delays in the construction of a mobile gantry.
"The Soyuz in French Guiana and the launch pad are now undergoing tests," said Jean-Yves Le Gall, Arianespace chairman and CEO. "We have the first two launch vehicles in French Guiana, and we are now preparing fit checks with the launch vehicle and the launch pad next year."
The 17-story structure will house the Soyuz rocket during the final steps of launch processing, including the attachment of satellite payloads atop the booster.
Soyuz launch facilities in Kazakhstan and Russia do not use a mobile gantry. Instead, the rockets are fully assembled horizontally and rolled to the launch pad a few days before liftoff.
"The payload for the first launch will be either the Pleiades satellite for CNES, the French space agency, or the first (validation) Galileo satellites for the European Space Agency, and we will decide this fall," Le Gall said.
The Soyuz was scheduled to launch in December with the HYLAS 1 satellite for Avanti Communications of the United Kingdom.
When it became clear the Soyuz would not be ready to fly by the end of the year, Arianespace moved the Ka-band communications satellite to an Ariane 5 launch in late November, when it will be orbited with the Intelsat 17 spacecraft.
Le Gall said the first Soyuz will go the launch complex at the beginning of 2011.
"I think we will have the first launch vehicle mated on the launch pad early next year, and after that we will proceed with the first launch," Le Gall said.
The Vega rocket, tailored for small European government satellites, will launch after the Soyuz sometime in the middle of 2011, according to Le Gall.
"We are at the end of development, which means we are beginning a number of tests on the launch pad in French Guiana, a new launch pad built on the former launch pad of the Ariane 1," Le Gall said. "We are going to continue the tests for the next nine months in order to perform the first launch by mid-2011."
The first Vega mission will haul several lightweight satellites into orbit, including a laser relativity spacecraft and a handful of smaller payloads.
Arianespace and the European Space Agency last week signed a work order for the first Vega rocket after the inaugural launch in mid-2011. The launch firm and the rocket's Italian prime contractor also agreed on a framework contract for the Vega Research and Technology Accompaniment program covering the first five missions after the qualification flight.
"This is a very important milestone because, in my opinion, we triggered the beginning of production of Vega," Le Gall said.
No payloads have been assigned to the next batch of Vega launches.
"These are just the contracts for the procurement of the launch vehicles," Le Gall said. "The contracts for the payloads will be announced in the coming months."
The Vega's P80 first stage has been manufactured and loaded with solid propellant in French Guiana. The rocket's upper stages assembled in Italy are awaiting shipment to the launch site.
The addition of Soyuz and Vega to the Arianespace family will give the company a foothold in all sectors of the launch industry

Having artist Mary Rochelle Burnham draw your picture is better than having it photographed in some ways. Burnham chooses not to show your flaws.
Burnham's work history includes working as an illustrator, teaching and working as a court sketch artist for Detroit television stations.
Burnham, a Flint native who has lived in Manchester since 2000, is actively involved with the Jackson Civic Art Association. See her work at originalartbymary.com, caricaturesbymary.com and artbymaryrochelle.blogspot.com.
Q: What were some of your early art experiences?
A: When I was in kindergarten, each day a different child got to sit at the easel and paint. I thought it would be so cool to be able to create what I envisioned. I think I wanted to create my own reality, where it was always warm and sunny.
How did you get started with caricatures?
When I was in junior high, sometimes I wouldn't pay attention to my studies, like English, when I'd sit and daydream. I had a teacher named Mrs. Bird, who actually looked like a parakeet because she had a big nose and not much of a chin. So, I drew her face on a bird's body. I had another teacher, Mr. Thompson, that I thought would look funny on a monkey's body. ... He didn't think it was so funny, so I ended up getting called down to the counselor's office. She said, "I probably shouldn't tell you this, but these are actually quite good." ... I stuck with caricatures in high school and college, when I started doing those all-night parties (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) used to put on. ... The principle in doing a quick 10-minute caricature and an extensive fine art piece is pretty much the same. The difference is just how much detail and time I put into it.
Did you pursue art after high school?
Yes. There was a time in high school I entertained the idea of doing something medical, but in the end I chose to pursue my passion. I went to Wayne State, and then ended up at the Center for Creative Studies (in Detroit). At that time, there was a job board at the school, and I found a lot of my early work (illustrations for businesses and magazines).
What was it like doing court sketches?
It was definitely fast-paced work. Nobody would sit still, and sometimes lawyers would even try to block their clients so you couldn't see them. Occasionally, CNN or Fox or the Associated Press would buy the rights. It was demanding. There would be times I'd get a call from the TV station asking if I could be to court in an hour. The arraignments were really tough because you'd have five or 10 minutes, tops, to do them. A lot of times, I had to finish just based on memory. I got to do a lot of the (Jack) Kevorkian stuff, so that was quite fascinating.
What's on tap for you?
Well, Saturday I'm going to be at the Wild Acorn in Manchester doing caricatures from 10 a.m. to noon. I'm just going to continue to teach at Two Twelve Arts Center in Saline and Community Arts of Tecumseh.

I Live in UK, I Went to Toys R Us as they said they were selling them at 8:00am, I arrive there at around 6 and around 7:30 they start giving tickets out saying they have 44 to give out, I got my ticket about the 38th one.
They sed that they wud have a bundle for £240 bundle in when i rang the day before. So i bought that much with me, then it turns out they only have £290 bundle with 3 games. So i get a £290 ticket they gave out, call my dad so he can come pick me up and give me extra money so i can get one, he gets there and they start saying they have sold all the wii's...i couldnt believe what they had done to me
I'm not sure what to believe atall...all i know is if they hadnt lied to me in first place about nothaving £240 bundles in i could of bought straight away and not wait for my dad...
I really thought i was promised a wii, and i couldnt believe i didnt get one...I feel cheated out of everything and i got nothing but "im sorry" from the person issueing them out.

You cant have a go at someone for not knowing that they were talking about themselves when they didnt say that...Originally Posted by Silent-Sniper
But that was really unlucky mate but it surely couldnt of had something to do with your wii otherwise why the hell would you go back to playing it?
Most people would stop if something like that happened.
And you talk about sympathy but your first reply being the fact that you have beaten me or something, really if you showed sympathy like you wanted to be shown then you would of shown understanding for how a wii has hurt me but it has hurt you also and then explain what happened to you.
This is leading off topic now i guess i just wanted people to be warned that what they did to me is really bad customer service, therefore I would personly recommend not going there, and wherever you go be prepared for a shock perhaps like myne

Hmm...quite hard to read with lack of punctuation and spacing but i managed lol, i see where your coming from not quite as worce as myne because my friend was with me and he got one...because i was still waiting for my dad to get here while he bought his so i had to watch him buy it and then sit with it in the car...lolOriginally Posted by psychono2

I gave the "New" program at weight watchers a chance..I like the old plan better. Perhaps I'm a creature of habit, but I know what I know. lol
The Old Points/Core program was easy to follow:
Weight Watchers Flex/Point Plan
The point values per day based on your weight are as follows:
- Less than 150 lbs: 20 pts
- 150-174 lbs: 22 pts
- 175-199 lbs: 24 pts
- 200-224 lbs: 26 pts
- 225-249 lbs: 28 pts
- 250-274 lbs: 30 pts
- 275-300 lbs: 31 pts
Flex Points: 35 extra points a week to use as you choose.
You get extra points based on the amount of exercise you do and how intense the exercise is.
*Above values are not for teenagers or nursing women*
Weight Watchers Core Plan
The Weight Watchers Core Plan was created for those participants that don't want to count points. Certain foods are listed in the Core plan that you can eat until satisfied, not full. All food groups are represented, plus a bonus of 35 non-core points you can use for added treats and special occassions. Success with this plan depends on portion control. You eat until you're full..not stuffed.
Here's a list of the Core foods:
- Vegetables and fruits
- Non-creamy Soups
- Whole Wheat Pasta, Brown Rice, Potatoes and Grains
- High Fiber and other cereals without added sugar
- Lean Meats, poultry, fish and eggs
- Fat-Free Milk Products
- Healthy Oils
- Condiments
- Coffee, Tea and sugar-free beverages
I love the Core Program, why? Either it is or it isn't Core..lol I don't always have the time to journal or track, so the core program is my way to go.
Stay tuned for posts listing foods, with quantities and points values!

WELLSBORO - Hamilton-Gibson Productions' Summer Fringe Festival will offer a week-long exploration of the arts for all ages from Sunday through June 29 at the H-G Theatre, 29 Water St.
Besides the many opportunities for children, and a special afternoon offered by area senior citizens for all ages, the Fringe highlights special programming for adults.
The festival will open Sunday with the "Play Me, I'm Yours" pianos on Main Street. Next will be the H-G Reunion Picnic in the Gallery of the Warehouse Theatre.
Article Photos
Shown is blues band, Penny and the Shylocks, who will perform June 27 at the Deane Center's Black Box in Wellsboro as part of the Summer Fringe Festival.
All those who have been in an H-G play, worked behind the scenes or volunteered in the box office are invited to attend along with their families. H-G is providing the hot dogs and hamburgers, and participants are asked to bring a dish to pass.
On Monday, the Fringe will feature Raymond the Amish Comic from Lancaster. This "adults only" comic will be at the Gallery of the Warehouse Theatre at 8 p.m. Admission is "pay-what-you-can," though seating is limited. Alcoholic beverages will be available for sale with proper ID.
On June 26, Les Petits Chanteurs De Laval, an acclaimed boys choir from Quebec, will offer a stirring concert at 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Pearl Street.
The concert is a "pay-what-you-can" fundraiser for the Hamilton-Gibson choirs, which consists of singers of similar ages, 8-18. "We are thrilled to be able to host this exceptional, internationally-known choir," said Thomas Putnam, artistic director for Hamilton-Gibson Productions.
Blues band Penny and the Shylocks will take the stage at the Deane Center's Black Box, 104 Main St., at 8 p.m. June 27. Donations to help offset Fringe expenses will also be accepted at the door. Food and beverage will be available.
Frontwoman Penny Eckman is known locally for her Patsy Cline tribute show, Penny Sings Patsy. Starting at an early age, she sang country rock to classic rock during the late 1970s through today.
In 1990, she formed the rock band Shylock Foxx, which played all over the region.
Just last year Penny created a new band, Penny and the Shylocks. They perform sizzling blues, funk and soul. Fans will hear Etta James' "Something's Got A Hold On Me," Average White Band, Stevie Wonder, Bonnie Raitt selections and many more.
In addition to Penny, the band is comprised of talented musicians from all over the region. On keyboard is Mick Collins, who also performs blues and classic rock standards in a lounge act with Eckman.
Jim Smolos, classically trained on cello, plays the bass guitar and adds to the vocals.
Hugh Douglass, on guitar, has been teaching music for more than 30 years. He studied music at Palm Beach College and has performed locally with the Hugh Douglass Quartet, Top Shelf, the Acme Blues Machine and the Blues Fugitives.
Youngest is Bruce Coluccio on saxophone. Born in 1997, Coluccio picked up the sax when he was 9 years old and never looked back. He blends jazz, rock, funk, blues and soul to create a sound that defies his age. He also plays in the band Blue Eyed Soul.
Saxophonist Jesse Bennett moved to Europe in 1978-79, performing across the continent for 18 years at various venues.
He also taught privately and at Germany's University of Dortmund and the Meerbusch Music Academy. Between 1995 and 1999, he split his time, living in Germany and New York City, before settling in Waverly, New York in September 1999. He continues to perform around the region.
Over the past 20 years, drummer Jesse Douglas has played in many bands, currently with the Bulletones.
The Sue Cunningham Band will take the Deane Center's Black Box stage at 7:30 p.m. June 28. Cunningham is on the fiddle and sings, along with long-time musical partner Danny Shipe on guitar and vocals, with Greg Smith on bass. Tickets can be obtained by calling the Deane Center at 570-724-6220.
The week concludes with crazy dueling pianos at 2:30 p.m. Sunday. During the final celebration of the "Play Me, I'm Yours" phenomenon, area piano players will duel it out in the Black Box at the Deane Center. Admission is "pay- what-you-can."
Summer Fringe Festival week also will offer poetry workshops for adults and children, writing workshops for middle school girls, an African dance and drumming celebration for all ages, and pianos on the sidewalks.
Call 570-724-2079 for more information.

And though your teachers can be tough some times, trust that they are benevolent, always try to quench the very best from you—hey, it's agency live, and you are going to learn it right here in school!
The Portfolio Programs and the Master Studies are biennial, for the Bachelor, you'll need three years. All Programs are structured into quarters. The first year (quarter 1 to 4) is at your base school. After that, you will go on a quarter away world tour—check the next slider for that. For the Bachelor and Master studies, additional compact classes at the partnering Steinbeis SMI are to be visited.
We have what no other advertising school has: an educational tour around the planet. Make your first year in school at Hamburg or Berlin, and your second year will find you on a World Tour—to another Miami Ad School, an internship or an agency / intern lab at one of our partnering agencies, in your 5th to 7th quarter.
Expect great cultural experiences and insights into real world ad business, plus the chance to build a world wide web of contacts!
Even more Real World for our students: Tour the best agencies on the planet. And these aren't coffee-fetching internships. Students work on TV commercials, web sites and almost anything else you can think of. Work on real assignments while you are still going to advertising school. Vist up to three different agencies on three continents: That's how our students learn from the best in the world.
Students at Miami Ad School work on real brands, preparing for the real world and real life as art directors, copywriters, graphic artists or else. Nike, Starbuck's, Danone, Unicef, Microsoft—and many more. They learn to get a feel for a brand, presenting their work to real clients. And they benefit from our innovation lab: Real clients come to the advertising school.
Miami Ad School is not only about grads—it's about REAL awards and laurel. Participating regularly in all the big ad scene contests, our school happens to win more prices than any other we would know of. And this golden rain won't stop after you finished: Our graduates keep on winning, and winning, and winning. Let's just mention …
Our programs have only one goal: To let you get the best job the advertising industry has to offer. With its famous Portfolio Reviews, Miami Ad School meets the agencies' need for next generation adepts at social media and digital communication.
And agencies themselves contact us every week: With job offers to share with our grads.
Note that we are the ad school with the almost-100-percent-get-a-job-rate—who else can claim THAT?
