End Of Summer Jams!
August 24, 2012 - Jim Price
If you are of the belief that summer's end starts with the commencement of the new school year, then this weekend offers some end-of-summer season jams and concerts worth checking out.
On Saturday, the annual "Kids Come First Benefit; 21st End Of Summer Jam" benefit concert will take place at the Cresson Sportsmen's Club beginning at 1 p.m. The area's longest-running annual benefit concert started in 1990 as the End Of Summer Jam, and following a change in organizers and management became the Kids Come First Benefit in 2011 after taking the previous year off. Proceeds from the Kids Come First Benefit will help out Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Bands and artists performing at this year's event will include The Backyard Rockers, Raggedy Hobo (backed by the Backyard Rockers and members of Mysterytrain), the Rhythm Sharks, Emberstitch, Drop Dead Sarcasm, Locked and Loaded, Rain Must Fall and Sunset Strip. Donation at the gate is $10, with children 12 and under admitted free. Parking is free, and the Cresson Sportsmen will sell food and refreshments. Those wishing to consume alcohol must present a legal ID. The concert happens rain or shine.
The outdoor concert action shifts to Altoona's Railroaders Museum on Sunday for the "Striking Chords Against Cancer" benefit concert, whose proceeds will help out the American Cancer Society. This show will start at 1 p.m., and will feature an assortment of area bands and solo artists; including Drew Dodson, The Felons, Travis Singer, The Hope Fallacy, Ryan Matthew, The Good Seeds, Jackson Monsour, Chris Vipond & the Stanley Street Band, Matt Wagner, Felix & the Hurricanes, Pat McGinnis and Hair Force One.
This year's Summer Sounds Concert Series at downtown Altoona's Heritage Plaza draws to a close this weekend, with Flight 19 performing the finale on Friday evening. The music kicks off at 6 p.m. with The Jazz Guys, followed by Flight 19. Admission is free, and food and refreshments will be available.
If you still need one more outdoor wing and music fix after the conclusion of the Legion Park Wing Festival and Lakemont Park WingOff events, the finale of the Tussey Mountain Wing Challenge takes place on Thursday night, August 30, at Tussey Mountain Amphitheater near Boalsburg, with longtime Susquehanna Valley progressive/classic rocking legends Hybrid Ice headlining, and the JR & Natalie Band opening.
And although it has nothing to do with the end of summer, Altoona area father-and-son acoustic duo Acoustic Mayhem will be playing their final show on Thursday night at the Belmar Hotel. Dad Greg "Rock" Burley and son Dustin Burley will perform one more time together, before Dustin leaves the area to relocate to Colorado.

Hi All
I have 3 alphas (alpha, beta and gamma - imaginative names eh!)-
(2*DS10L and one Personal Alpha v2) running hobbyist versions of VMS 8.3
and all the layered product licenses. DECnet Plus is operating
perfectly on all of them and I have used them fine for a long time. The
licenses have expiry dates of August. I decided to cluster them, so I
read the fine manuals to refresh my memory and then ran CLUSTER_CONFIG
on alpha.
I told it to boot locally, not serve MSCP or boot disks, use an
ALLOCLASS of 1, use LANCP for cluster comms etc., expected votes = 2
(three nodes, so any two are OK), no quorum disk.
When it reboots, all is fine *except* that it has now decided that the
OPENVMS-ALPHA license is expired. Checking the database it shows an
expiry of August. The LMF logical points to SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE] as I
think it should. So, some things won't start and I can only log in from
the console. Funny thing is that TCP/IP and everyhting else is fine -
the web server works and is accessible, FTP works - I can't log in.
Next problem - I ran CLUSTER_CONFIG on gamma, told it to join the
cluster, same configuration details etc. When it boots, it joins the
cluster and then fails back to the >>> with the message
OpenVMS (TM) Alpha Operating System, Version V8.3

OK, what volume? There is only one disk in each box, MSCP_LOAD and
MSCP_SERVE_ALL are both 0....what have I done wrong (again)!
All help truly appreciated.

Letters and opinion pieces in the Mirror claimed voter ID law was not needed, as there was not one conviction for 2008 fraudulent voting in our state.
Actually, thousands of fraudulent votes were cast, most in large cities in every state. The lack of convictions is explained by Christian Adams, a Department of Justice lawyer in his book "Injustice." Here signed in disgust at the Obama administration corruption, he tells how the DOJ is now manned by liberal radicals under Attorney General Eric Holder.
Now DOJ's mission is titled "Payback Time" by the staff. Criminal cases readied for trial were canceled by Holder. Example:?In Philadelphia, Black Panthers brandishing clubs intimidated white voters and blacks at the voting sites, frightening them away.
The blacks allowed in were accompanied by "assisters" to assure they voted for Obama. Now minority illegalities are ignored; only white cases are prosecuted.
There are known cases where military absentee votes were destroyed because the numbers favored Republicans.
Congress enacted a law forbidding taxpayer funds be given to ACORN that was responsible for most fraudulent votes in 2008.
Holder knows ACORN is still active under other names and is still getting taxpayer funds, but does nothing.
Federal law requires states to clean up voter rolls to remove dead and ineligible names; instead the DOJ is suing those states who do. State's rights are denied by an administration determined to destroy our constitution and to seize all power; every opportunity for a dishonest election is supported by the present government.
If ever voter ID were needed, it is now.

What the Critics Say
About Heather C Akerberg
|The poems of Dwelling investigate, musically and with "bended" syntax, the issue of form in body, home, and poem. They ask questions like: Is a "home" perhaps a series of spatial and cognitive experiences? What makes a structure/ space a home? Is it shape and architectural elements, the experiences and interactions that transpire there, the personal objects contained within, or the language ascribed to it? Can one separate recollections of one's past from the physical spaces in which they occurred? Is a "home" just a backdrop for events that will become memories or is it another body, inside of which is found the tangible and intangible stuff of self, a body to be read like any other text? If so, what is read there?

Passion and violence are the concepts chosen to represent the Tosca opera in two parts, the first one more sensitive, and the second sharper.
Dance and lighting along with the music explain the scenes and conflicts between the three beings who develop the piece. An important post-production work helps us to fix the color and contrast of the stage.
Mario appears chained, Tosca approaches him and develop a series of delicate and passionate movements. Then comes Scarpia, on violent way, separates lovers and corporeally expressed a ferocious feeling, less sentimental.

The competition at the PIAA Class AAA wrestling tournament is such that a good wrestler doesn't always get to dictate the flow of the bout.
Sometimes, you have to find a way to win at the other guy's pace.
Cumberland Valley junior Patrick Duggan, one of the top contenders for the 138-pound crown, likes to score points in a bunches. He is a talented offensive wrestler.
But he was forced to go slow for much of his Thursday preliminary round victory at Hershey's Giant Center.
His opponent, Hempfield Area's Joey Alessandro, saw to it.
The result was a 3-1 victory for Duggan, a triumph that wasn't secured until the final seconds.
Duggan is joined in Friday afternoon's Class AAA quarterfinal round by CV teammate TC Warner, who swarmed Allderdice's Cameron Jacobson from the opening whistle and needed only 48 seconds to record a fall at 152.
Warner (42-2), a senior and a two-time state runner-up, will face Bethel Park's Paul Dunn (34-9) in the quarters.
There would be no quick finish for Duggan, however.
After a scoreless first period, Duggan (42-2), a two-time place-winner who finished second at 132 last season, notched the only takedown of the bout with 22 seconds left in the second period.
He added a third-period escape and also survived a late takedown attempt by Alessandro (37-8) that would have tied the bout.
Even Duggan's takedown required a little bit of maneuvering and the CV came out on the right end of the flurry.
"It was near the edge, I wasn't sure I was going to get it,'' Duggan said of his lone takedown.
"We both started to scramble, I mean, you just gotta keep working and try to get every win you can.
"I knew whoever got that takedown was probably going to get the win. And wrestling with TC (teammate TC Warner), I've been in scrambles a lot.''
And what about Duggan's thoughts on the final seconds of the bout?
"Once he (Alessandro) got the leg, my adrenaline started pumping and you get a little nervous but I was pretty confident in my defense.''
Duggan said he had a pretty good scouting report on Alessandro and knew he might be forced to go a difficult six minutes.
"Well, I knew (Alessandro) was from the WPIAL and I know that everyone that comes out of there is pretty tough,'' said Duggan, who draws Punxsutawney freshman Kaleb Young (30-1) in the quarters.
"I talked to the guys from out there (western Pennsylvania) and guys from around here that have wrestled him.''
"They all said that he could go hard for the whole time and that he was going to be tough,'' Duggan continued.
"So I knew what to expect. I kind of wrestled the match the way I don't usually wrestle. I was cautious. He knew my style really well, he knew how to wrestle me, he knew what shots I like to take, what I like to do on top. He played the edges, tried to keep it close and then he tried to get the win at the end. I mean, that's probably how I wrestle myself at times.
"At this point, you might beat him by a point or you might score a technical fall, you just gotta get the win.''
Three CV wrestlers lost their prelims, all by close margins.
At 132, CV's Alex Wolfe ran into returning state champion Tyler Smith of Franklin Regional and lost 2-1.
Smith scored a first-period takedown, Wolfe rebounded with a second-period escape and then Wolfe rode out Smith in the third period but could not turn him.
CV freshman William Kaldes was a 5-0 loser to Pennridge's Kordell Rush at 106.
After a scoreless first period, Rush registered a second-period reversal and Kaldes, who had the choice in the third, took the bottom and was quickly turned for three near-fall points.
Finally, CV upper weight Jackson Stanford was beaten 5-2 by Methacton's Tracey Green in the 285 prelims. Jackson never got going on offense while Green scored takedowns in the first and third periods.

Diane Schuur: Friends For Schuur
The never-really-happenedbut sure enough, technologically createdteaming of Schuur and Stan Getz on "Easy Living" serves as a reminder that Getz discovered Schuur more than two decades ago. It also serves as a reminder that Getz recorded some gorgeous albums for Concord, one of which serves as the basis for the digital teaming of mentor and protégé. But that past is prologue for the remainder of the album.
For the friendships continue as Schuur sings with admirers and admired like Alan Bergman, Stephen Bishop and Richard Cocciante. Heartfelt and well-produced though these duos may be, Friends For Schuur picks up unmistakable steam as the album heads toward its ending, much as a theatrical event saves the surprises for last.
The interest heightens as Schuur and Ray Charles sing "It Had To Be You," accompanied by Charles' group in a live Public Broadcasting System performance to benefit the blind.
The undoubted high point of the album occurs during the track documenting Schuur's participation in a Kennedy Center tribute to Stevie Wonder. For ultimate sophistication and high-powered talent, the addition of Herbie Hancock, Terri Lyne Carrington and background vocalists join in. Related to the tribute, though, is the closing number of "Finally," a Stevie Wonder song written for Schuur and which they both sing.
With high production values and with high-profile talent backing her, it's obvious that Schuur's association with Concord is going to be a long and mutually rewarding one. It probably won't be long before Schuur resumes her prolific recording career with her second Concord CD.

Tim Rose, raw-voiced folk-rocker who recorded popular versions of "Hey Joe" and "Morning Dew," died Tuesday Sept. 24 after surgery for bowel cancer in London. He had turned 62 the day before.
Rose started his career in his hometown of Washington, D.C. (he was raised in Virginia), in a duo billed as Michael & Timothy. He also worked with Cass Elliott, future member of the Mamas and the Papas, in a group called the Triumvirate. When James Hendricks — who later married Elliot — joined the group, it was renamed the Big Three. She reportedly wanted to keep to a more traditional folk sound, while he wanted electric. The group disbanded in 1964.
Rose then signed a recording contract with Columbia in 1966, and his album, "Tim Rose," debuted a year later. In 1968, he toured in Britain with a band including John Bonham, drummer for Led Zeppelin.
He said he turned down the job of replacing Brian Jones in the Rolling Stones because he felt he was doing well as a solo artist. But his musical career stalled, he took construction jobs, sang on some commercials, tried the stock market, and took small-time gigs.
In 1996, he returned to live performing in London with a show that featured reminiscences of his career's ups and downs.

MOORE, Okla. — A day after his crew had plunged into rescue attempts, Texan Warren Weidler returned Wednesday to the flattened remains of Plaza Towers Elementary School.
The only thing recognizable was its multicolored playground set, sprouting from a ragged pile of broken bricks and debris.
"That's a picture," he said.
Nearby, he pointed to the school's driveway, littered with a half-dozen crumpled, mud-splattered cars, abandoned by parents who frantically rushed inside for their kids as the giant tornado took aim Monday afternoon.
For Weidler and others on Texas Task Force 1, an elite search and rescue team, Oklahoma marked yet another tragic signpost that has sent its members everywhere from the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York to the fertilizer plant explosion last month in West.
And their latest deployment, in Oklahoma's storm-ravaged midsection, was especially gripping. They backed up local responders, first on the scene at the elementary school, where seven students were killed, huddled inside with their teachers as the twister destroyed Plaza Towers.
"There was so much of the death right here," task force co-leader Chuck Jones said. "It's a natural tendency to be more touched by the fact that children are involved."
But the approach in their life-and-death missions doesn't change, and quick access is key to finding survivors, he said.
The task force, based in College Station, includes firefighters, canine handlers to lead search dogs, structural engineers, communications specialists and doctors.
Weidler and Jones, taking The Dallas Morning News on an hourlong driving tour, marveled at the chaotic devastation. They said the local officials' early response and precautions by residents helped keep the death toll low.
On some blocks, homes sustained only minor damage, such as broken windows or parts of a roof shorn off. But next door, others were wiped away, leaving nothing but a slab and exposed pipes.
"Buy that one. It'll hold up," Weidler said, eyeing a hot tub that remained on a bare concrete foundation. Everything else around it was gone.
Several trees stripped of their spring leaves were shot with unrecognizable pieces, draped over branches like a damp towel.
"That's metal hanging on there," possibly from nearby railroad tracks, Weidler said.
Stunned residents
Weidler, of Austin, and Jones, of Grapevine, said their crew canvassed the neighborhood, placing green stickers on each home after it was cleared.
The task force cleared 600 of these structures on Tuesday. One team member's GPS said he'd walked 13 miles.
They were not involved in any rescues, but Weidler recounted the eerie similarities of stunned residents he saw in Moore and those from other sites he's worked.
"Everybody's going to be this same color," he said, grinding his boot into the dusty, green-gray ground.
On a quick stop during the tour, Jones said residents were saved by using underground shelters to ride out the storm.
The tornado was strongest here, bouncing from one part of the neighborhood to another, the way a helium balloon does when it's losing air.
To feel the soggy ground now and hear the chainsaws used to cut through rubble is to grasp only a piece of the force of its destruction. It smells musty, wet and chemical. To the task force leaders, it smells familiar — disaster.
"It is something that's distinct," Jones said.
Getting the call
Weidler, 52, a full-time firefighter, and Jones, 52, a retired assistant fire chief, have been with the Texas Task Force since its inception in 1996.
Both were in Lincoln, Neb., for a meeting when the call came in — at the very instant they were inserting a key into their hotel rooms: Return to Texas and prepare to ship out to its neighbor.
That spur-of-the-moment dispatch is routine. Many on the task force also work full-time as first responders back home. The task force had 80 in Oklahoma. Twenty-eight task forces, related to FEMA, operate across the country, including Texas Task Force 2, which focuses within the state.
Jason Grindstaff, 35, of Brock, in Parker County, has been a Fort Worth firefighter for seven years. Before that, he spent eight years in the Army. He said he volunteered for task force training on top of his usual job because he'd become restless.
When he sees misfortune, he feels a pull, a need to be there and to help.
"It's either in your blood, or it's not," he said.
And when it gets tough, he said, he relies on his church family and his wife, Patti.
"This makes her nervous," but "she understands it's a part of who I am."
Helping fellow first responders find loved ones reminds him of the ties that bring people together, regardless of state rivalries.
"When it happens to someone in Oklahoma that I've never met, it still hits home," he said. "It's like it's happening to a brother."
Jones said the American spirit becomes more evident during every big disaster as donors rush to offer assistance.
When his crew set up shop at a Walgreens near the worst of the wreckage, he said its workers offered their break room and told them to take anything they needed.
The task force lodged at the University of Oklahoma, and even Weidler's allegiance to the Texas Longhorns couldn't keep him from being impressed with the Sooners' hospitality.
"There have been people pushing pizza at me until I can't look at another," he said.

Yesterday I heard some rumblings about a video showing Maia Campbell prostituting herself. I wasn't able to check the video out, but I just took a look and sure enough it is Maia Campbell, but… I don't see any prostituting going on. Over the years there have been rumors about Maia Campbell having mental issues. Some say she's bipolar others say she's schizophrenic. Her mother, the late author Bebe Moore Campbell wrote a book called 72 Hour Hold that tells the 'fictional' story of a mother dealing with a daughter who is bipolar and refuses treatment.

A Farewell to Yarns (A Jane Jeffry Mystery, Book 2)by Jill Churchill
Life is hectic enough for suburban single mom Jane Jeffry this Christmas season-what with her having to survive cutthroat church bazaar politics and finish knitting the "afghan from Hell" at the same time. The last thing the harried homemaker needs is an unwelcome visit from old acquaintance Phyllis Wagner and her ill-mannered brat of a teenage son. And the Wagner picture becomes even more complicated when a dead body is woven into the design. Solving a murder, however, is a lot more interesting than knitting, so Jane's determined to sew the whole thing up. But with a plethora of suspects and the appearance of a second corpse, this deadly tapestry is getting quite complex indeed. And Jane has to be very careful not to get strangled herself by the twisted threads she's attempting to unravel.
From Here To Paternityby Jill Churchill
Jane Jeffry, suburban sleuth extraordinaire, and her friend, Detective Mel VanDyne, have braved a blizzard to join her friend Shelley at a Colorado ski resort. In spite of having all their kids along, Jane and Shelley imagine a few mindless days of relaxation. But their hopes are dashed on their first attempt to ski when Jane careens into a snowman that hides a very real -- and very dead -- body. The slopes are littered with suspects -- a convention of genealogists led by a political fruitcake who thinks she's going to put her hand-picked Tsar on the Russian throne, a mysterious crimson-clad skier who's always on the horizon, an ex-stockbroker who's hiding from his investors, and an irate tribe of Native Americans. Jane has to take a census of the suspects and make some grave assumptions about who was vacationing with malicious intent.

A Groom with a View (A Jane Jeffry Mystery, Book 11)by Jill Churchill
Jane Jeffry is event manager of a rich wedding at a remote club. But before the wedding day arrives a violent storm has knocked the lights out and someone takes a slippery slide to sudden death. Jane quickly steps into the role of investigator. But before she can supply the police with a motive for murder, the ceremony begins, and someone's idea of a fantasy wedding suddenly turns into a killer of an occasion.
The House Of Seven Mabelsby Jill Churchill
Harried suburban single mom and delightfully incorrigible busybody Jane Jeffry returns to do some dangerous housecleaning in another charming whodunit from America's Agatha Award-winning answer to Dame Agatha Christie: Jill Churchill. Homemaking is about to take on a whole new meaning for Jane Jeffry now that she's agreed to help restore and redecorate a decrepit old neighborhood mansion. The home's owner, the prosperously divorced Bitsy Burnside, considers herself to be a feminist to the max and wants an almost all-female crew to do the dirty work -- prompting the quick-witted Shelley Nowack to dub the project "the House of Seven Mabels. " With her best friend and decorating whiz Shelley on the estrogen-heavy team, Jane thinks this exhausting, plaster-dusty job may not be as unpleasant as it initially appeared to be. Until, of course, things start to get very messy. It begins with a series of mean-spirited "pranks" -- strange odors, mysterious electrical shorts, a myriad of petty annoyances designed to impede the progress of the fixer-uppers. And then the pranks turn deadly, leaving one of the workers lying lifeless at the foot of a staircase. Tragic, yes, but an accident? Jane thinks not. And with the able assistance of Shelley, not to mention a little help from her best beau, Chicago detective Mel VanDyne, Jane's hoping she can construct a solid case and nail the assassin. Suspects are certainly in abundant supply. The surviving members of Bitsy's building brigade all had the opportunity. Joe Budley--the contractor originally hired, then fired when Bitsy had her "no men allowed" epiphany--had a motive. But the more Jane saws away at the truth, the more complicated the criminal blueprint appears. And she may be painting herself into a corner, leaving no exit if a crafty killer decides to make Jane Jeffry the next demolition project.

The Merchant Of Menace (A Jane Jeffry Mystery, Book 10)by Jill Churchill
'Tis the season to be jolly and suburban mom Jane Jeffry's in a mad scramble to finish her cookie baking and household chores before her teenage kids arrive home. Also expected are two moms-both the late husband's mother and the disapproving mater of police Detective Mel VanDyne, Jane's significant other. The kitchen is a disaster zone, the dog has decorated the house with hair, and the earsplitting racket coming from the neighbor's tacky, music-making Christmas display is driving Jane crazy. Now she has to get the green icing out of her hair and be ready to host her post-caroling dinner party. One thing Jane isn't ready for is a surprise visit from a muckraking TV "action reporter," disguised as Santa Claus. The nasty old St. Nick is out to wrap a happy holiday caroling into a package marked "scandal," but before he has a chance to color the event with yellow journalism, his red-suited body slides off the neighbor's roof to land, silenced forever, on the horns of a plastic reindeer. It looks like Santa's mishap is no accident and, with the help of her friend Shelley, Jane finds plenty of suspects. The phony Santa has an ex-wife and a female assistant who both hate him, and plenty of nice people ruined by tales of naughtiness. Now Jane has to find the Grinch who thought murder was a way to save Christmas...before the holiday turns into the unhappiest day of the year.

With the third and final reading completed and passed, the question now becomes: What's next for Project Jackson?
Well, the news is that there really isn't much news to be had, according to City Administrator Todd Glover.
"We are sitting down with the developer and we are doing two things," he said.
First, the City is working out a contract on what the developer is responsible for and making sure protections are in place for the City before a stadium is built, Glover said.
"What private development is he going to deliver? So we're working through those contracts," Glover said.
"On a parallel track to that, we are working to develop a footprint of the development down there.
"We have had that rendering out since December of last year. Things are moving around and different people want to be different places. It's like pieces of a puzzle. So we have to figure out how to best use the land."
Glover said that means getting the master plan in place.
The next logical question then becomes, why is the City spending so much time figuring out where everything is going to be if the contracts aren't finalized with the developer, Greenstone Properties of Atlanta, for the $101 million in private investment?
"The answer to that is that a lot of retailers, restaurants and other things won't give the final commitment that they are coming until they see where they are going to be," Glover said. "It's tough to hold the developer to what he is going to deliver when he doesn't have a product to show them. ... So we'll do the initial footprint that says where everything is going to be. Once we finish that, we'll stop that part and finish the contracts, then allow the developer to go out and start bringing people out."
Glover said the City is getting an "immense amount of interest and calls every day" about the project.
"I think people will get really excited when we get to the point where we start announcing some of the things that are there," he said. "We would like to get to that point. However, we've got several months of planning and negotiations that have to take place."
Glover said there was no realistic possibility of dirt being moved in the first or second quarter of 2014. He did say it was "possible" to "see some activity" in the second half of next year.
"The City has done its part. Now it's up to the developer to deliver the private investment, and how quickly they do that will determine the actual stadium project," he said.
The City will not trigger its portion, according to Glover, without the magic number of $101 million. He said he anticipates there to be "much more than that," due to interest. He also likened it to a relay race, saying the City has a finance mechanism available to do the project, but the baton has been passed to the private developer. It was unlikely before for the contracts to be finalized simply because the City did not have the financing in place.
For now, Mayor Lark Jones said he expects to see Project Jackson "sort of remove itself from the headlines in the coming months." He pointed out that the coming months will include planning, design, traffic and parking studies for the City. The developer will, at the same time, work on getting the restaurants and retailers and solidifying the details for the hotel and apartment aspects.
"There will be a lot going on – it'll be behind the scenes – and at some point, we will want to roll out to the general public what the 'carved in wood, not necessarily stone,' will be," he said. "These are just my thoughts, but then it will be brought forth to the Planning Commission and go through the normal approval process that any project will have to go through."
That plan could include many changes, one of which could be moving the parking garage to the gravel parking lot next to the municipal center. That could, in theory, keep the traffic from bottlenecking near the stadium and creating issues. It would also generate more foot traffic on Georgia Avenue to local businesses.
Another question that has been brought up in recent months is the possibility of development without the stadium component. Glover said there is a chance of that, due to North Augusta's market size. For example, the hotel may still be in play without a stadium, but the City may decide that a much smaller development makes more sense.
"I liken it to a mall," Glover said. "You have anchor tenants in a mall and then you have the little stores that latch on, and benefit from the traffic that is generated by the big stores. ... The stadium is the anchor tenant. It drives the traffic and interest down there. The smaller stores that probably wouldn't locate here would locate due to the stadium to truly make that area into a destination. We have a vision for this that with the restaurants down there, the retail down there, the experience you get; if you want that and you live in the CSRA or anywhere around that you would have to drive here to get it. You couldn't drive to an Augusta or Aiken location of a restaurant that we have in Project Jackson." Glover said the City will be seeking restaurants that do not already have a local presence.
Glover said the challenge is how to bring goods and services that people clamor for, while also retaining the same characteristics that have made North Augusta.
"Growth begets growth," he said. " ... Through proper planning and zoning, we have to make sure that we do it in a fashion that we retain the fiber and characteristics that people care about in our community. I think that people live here because it's close and it's convenient, and they don't have to sit through 40-minute traffic delays to get 10 miles. It's family-oriented, it's a fantastic quality of life that, to me, can't be beat. So we're looking to interject things that improve that quality of life that, on the flip side, don't detract due to traffic or something like that."

Granger Larsen of Napili placed second in the HIC Pro on Saturday, finishing as the runner-up to former Association of Surfing Professionals world champion Sunny Garcia.
In the final at Sunset Beach on Oahu's North Shore, Garcia won with a score of 14.83, and Larsen posted a 12.50.
"Of course I wanted to win, but I'm pretty stoked to get this far," Larsen said.

Granger Larsen competes in the HIC Pro on Saturday at Sunset Beach on Oahu's North Shore.
Sunny Garcia rides a wave Saturday en route to winning the HIC Pro.
Garcia and Granger Larsen stand on the podium.
Gregg Nakamura was third with a 14.83, and Fredrick Patacchia (7.33) was fourth.
Larsen and Garcia both had to complete their fifth-round heats on Saturday - theirs were the last two not finished after Friday's competition - and each surfed in five heats altogether on the contest's final day.
Larsen, 22, and Garcia, 42 and a grandfather, were grouped together in each of the last three rounds. Larsen took first place in their quarterfinal heat with a score of 15.10 - the ninth-best heat score in the contest altogether - before Garcia won the final two.
"Every heat, I was getting a little more rhythm," said Larsen, who reached the semifinals of the Australian Open in February.
Garcia, a six-time Triple Crown champion, also won the HIC Pro in 1992.
"I want to thank all of you out there who have supported me and continue to support surfing," Garcia said. "It's because of you that I've been able to live the dream for so long.
"For an aging athlete that's so used to being at the top and winning, it really is hard when you get old and you see all these young guys doing good and kicking your butt. I'm just glad I still get to compete against these young guys and beat them every now and then."
Garcia earned $15,000, and Larsen received $7,500. Nakamura won $5,000 and Patacchia $3,500.
Garcia earned wild-card berths into the first two events of this year's Triple Crown - the Reef Hawaiian Pro, with a holding period that begins Monday, and the Vans World Cup of Surfing.
Ian Gentil of Paia was eliminated in the quarterfinals. Hank Gaskell of Hana and Tanner Hendrickson of Haiku bowed out in the fifth round.

Featured Golf News
Joint Replacement and the Golfer
As my own hairline goes the way of the buffalo and my beltline gradually expands, I take comfort in knowing that as I approach my 50s I have plenty of company particularly on the golf course. Studies show that there are about 6 million U.S. golfers over the age of 50.
Unfortunately, older players can be afflicted with various medical conditions that might make playing golf painful or even dangerous. From an orthopedic point of view, arthritis of the hip and knee are common and painful problems that can ruin an otherwise good day of golf.
Osteoarthritis usually develops slowly, taking years to show symptoms and be visible on X-rays. Early complaints may include an ache or a twinge of discomfort in the joint with activity (such as golf) or with weather changes. (No, your Aunt Sadie wasnt crazy when she used to announce at the dinner table that she could tell it was going to rain soon because her knees were acting up.) In its late stages, osteoarthritis of the hip and knee can render an otherwise healthy person unable to perform common daily activities such as walking, sleeping, or heaven forbid, playing golf.
There are lots of non-surgical treatment options for arthritic joints including rest, weight loss, medication, physical therapy, and injection treatments. These measures are usually the first course of action to combat the pain and stiffness of arthritis.
Total joint replacement prosthetic replacement of the arthritic hip, knee is the ultimate surgical treatment for advanced arthritis that does not respond to non-surgical measures. Simply put, a total joint prosthesis replaces the damaged joint surfaces (the knee hinge or the hip ball-and-socket) with a device made from various combinations of metal and plastic.
While total joint replacement represents a great advance in medical science, it is important to remember that the replacement is not a normal joint. Complications such as premature wear of the metal and plastic components or loosening of the prosthesis frequently require revision of the prosthesis a technically demanding procedure that all orthopedic surgeons want to avoid whenever possible. Surgeons and biomechanical researchers are continually trying to identify what factors hasten the loosening and/or premature mechanical failure of total joint prostheses.
The key question for us golfers, then, is whether golf represents a risky behavior after a total hip or knee replacement. So far, the answer is encouraging.
Lets start with total hip replacement. Well, I have scoured the medical literature for you, and I have good news! One survey of the Hip Society (a sort of orthopedic club made up of surgeons who are experts in hip-replacement surgery) was recently published where the surgeons were asked their views regarding the role of golf and their hip replacement patients. The results should be a delight to sore-hipped golfers everywhere:
- None of these surgeons prohibited his patients from playing golf after hip replacement;
- None of these surgeons reported that their golfing patients had higher complication rates than non-golfing patients;
- Many of these surgeons did recommend a three- to four-month healing period after surgery before returning to golf. Starting slowly with easy chipping and putting was recommended before returning to full-swing play;
- About seven out of 10 of these surgeons advised the use of a cart for their patients when they did resume play.
Another survey published in the medical literature questioned professional golfers and active amateur players who had returned to golf after having a hip replacement. The news is again good:
All the professional golfers reported they were able to continue playing and teaching golf after surgery without problems.
More than 90 percent of the amateurs responded they had no hip pain when they played golf. All the remaining golfers who reported some degree of hip pain during golf noted they still had less pain than before the hip replacement
An identical survey of the members of the Knee Society was conducted to evaluate how experienced knee replacement surgeons viewed our beloved sport. Again, the news was good:
- Some 93 percent of the surgeons responded that they did not object to their patients playing golf after knee replacement surgery;
Each surgeon responded that every patient of theirs who expressed a desire to return to golf was able to do so after total knee replacement surgery;
None of the surgeons reported a higher complication rate among patients who returned to golf after total knee-replacement surgery;
However, more than three-quarters of the surgeons recommended the use of a golf cart after surgery and at least three months of recovery time was advised postoperatively, before a return to golf.
Total knee recipients, both professional teachers and serious amateurs, were also surveyed:
- The pros said they were able to play and teach golf unhindered by their total knee replacement;
- Some 90 percent of the amateurs were able to play golf without pain. The remaining players had some pain in the knee during golf, but less pain than before surgery.
Admittedly, the available surveys and studies linking golf and its effect on total joint replacement of the hip and knee are not supported by huge numbers of patients or decades of follow-up. Maybe some day we will have a Surgeon General who is both a golf nut and a total joint recipient. Then, perhaps a few zillion dollars will be allocated to do more in-depth research in golf medicine.
Until then, we can take comfort in the conclusions drawn from the studies that are now available: that golf seems to be a doctor-friendly, patient-friendly, and total joint-friendly activity.
Please note: A more complete discussion of total hip, knee, and shoulder replacement surgery and golf is available in Chapter 14 of my book, Dr. Divots Guide to Golf Injuries. Any golfer who is contemplating joint-replacement surgery is advised to read the chapter in its entirety. Also, be sure to discuss with your surgeon your desire to return to golf after surgery so that an individualized plan can be devised for you by your own doctor.
Dr. Larry Foster, M.D., F.A.A.O.S. is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon whose enthusiasm for golf has earned him the title "Dr. Divot." Dr. Foster received his medical degree in 1988 from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and completed his residency training at the Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York.
Dr. Foster is the author of Dr. Divots Guide to Golf Injuries A Handbook for Golf Injury Prevention and Treatment. The book costs $19.95. He gives lectures and seminars to PGA and LPGA golf professionals, trainers, therapists, and recreational golfers on the important but neglected topic of golf-injury prevention and treatment.
Dr. Foster has been in practice in New York for over a decade. He loves golf, but struggles to break 100 consistently. For Dr. Divot, a good round of golf is when the beer stays cold through the 18th hole, and nobody has been hurt.

Playing its best baseball this season before dropping the next three games, the Henry County baseball team continued its roller coaster-like season last week with one win, three more losses and a 2-7 overall record.
The Wildcats had its best offense game last Tuesday night in a 13-7 win over South Oldham, then took a 4-2 loss to Seneca on Wednesday and a 14-2 loss to Ballard Memorial on Friday — all three games were part of the Seneca Spring Break Bash. The Cats closed out the week with an 8-0 loss to Bishop Brossart on Saturday.
Erick Butler won the Male Athlete of the Meet award, Brittany Crawford was just 2.5 points away from being the Female Athlete of the Meet and the Henry County track team had possibly its best overall performance this season at the Wildcat Relays on Saturday.
The Henry boys finished with 105 points for fourth in the team standings, while the Henry girls finished with 101.5 points for third. It was, by far, the most combined points Henry had scored in an invitational in 2010 and points the Cats in the right direction as the season progresses.
Beating some top schools in a week packed with softball games, the Henry County softball team finished the Florida Beach Bash with a 5-1 record and are currently 10-1 overall.
Entering the 2010 baseball season, Austin Hunsaker stressed the importance of having confidence and maintaining composure during a season full of question marks with a young, inexperienced team. Now, after two weeks that has included one win and four losses, he is stressing it even more to his Henry County squad.
Led by a combined 11 first-place finishes last week, the Henry County track team competed at the Shelby County All-Comers on Tuesday and the Henry County All-Comers on Thursday in a busy three-day stretch.
Starting against Anderson County in the season opener last Wednesday night, Eminence baseball coach Mark Payton is trying to break his team's mold of playing well in spurts with long, unproductive droughts.
Payton said he was happy with his players against a team of Anderson's caliber in the first game of 2010, but there were some stretches where his team fell apart. Eminence allowed 12 runs in the top of the third inning and Anderson drove away with a 17-1 win after five innings. It was Anderson's seventh game of the season, and Eminence's first.
Though Matt Wright warns the Henry County Ladycats are not where they need to be yet, he said they were able to put together their first "complete game" last Thursday night as they beat Carroll County 14-0 for a 4-0 start to the softball season.
March Madness came to a finish on Monday night and, in the end, after the teams dwindled down to just two, it wasn't decided until the final shot of the tournament.
It was a fitting way to end this men's NCAA basketball season, although the team most of America was rooting for came up one basket short of that Hollywood ending everyone seemed to be hoping for. Duke's win wasn't secured until Butler's final shot was barely off target, allowing Duke to celebrate a 61-59 championship win.
For the first time in five years, the Eminence softball team started the season with a win and won two games in the opening week. It was just the start first-year head coach Bill Covington was looking for.
The Lady Warriors beat Kentucky Country Day (13-6) last Wednesday night, lost to Waggener (23-11) on Thursday and beat Whitefield Academy (14-4) on Saturday for a 2-1 record after week one. It was the best start since 2005 when the Warriors were 2-0 through the first week and finished with a 6-13 overall record.
The Matt Wright era officially opened last week when the Henry County softball team defeated Carroll County on Tuesday and Harrison County on Saturday in what looks to be a promising year.

How to Keep Your Drum Set Clean
Not many musicians know how to keep their drum kit clean; most assume that its like furniture, and all thats needed is a simple wipe with a dry dust cloth every now and then. However, its important to do a deeper clean regularly to really keep your kit looking fresh.
What Not to Do When Cleaning Drums
The most important thing to consider is the type of cleaner you use. Under no circumstances should you use an abrasive cleaner. Abrasives such as Ajax, or even certain bathroom cleaners, can permanently scratch your kit and damage the finish. The abrasiveness of the cleaner will gradually remove the paint and reveal the wood underneath, and then you will be stuck with an unprotected drum kit, liable to rot after a given time.
For cymbals and hardware, it is not recommended to use substances such as Brasso. You can get away with using DIY solutions that contain a lot less chemicals and are less harsh on the metal. With these commercial brass cleaners, you might also mark your kit. While this may not affect the sound, it can tarnish the kit and leave it permanently marked. If you do decide to use any of these products, make sure it is in a well-ventilated area, and also make sure you wear gloves. They often smell quite bad and the fumes are a potential danger.
How to Clean Drums with the Best Cleaning Solutions
There are a few homemade solutions that provide great cleaning power. Something as simple as a damp cloth will suffice when cleaning the drum heads. However, the coated shells might need something else. An effective and relatively cheap solution can be made up with a 50:50 mix of white vinegar and water. This will absorb any musty smell and wont damage your drum kit.
For your chrome stands and hardware, you can use cleaner without ammonia. Avoid any cleaners with harsh chemicals, which don't mix well with the coating on the drum shells. You can get away with using typical chrome cleaner, however, be careful not to get this on the drum shells.
The final thing to clean is the cymbals. There are several commercial cymbal cleaners available that can bring out a nice finish, without damaging the cymbal. When looking for a cleaner, make sure it mentions that it is non-abrasive. Wiping the cymbals with an abrasive cloth or cleaner can change the sound of the cymbals.
How to Look After your Drums
Once you have learned how to clean drums, you should think about waxing the shell. This will protect the drums for a while from dust and further degradation. Simple furniture polish is usually OK, but anything else like car wax or other commercial liquid waxes could damage the shell. Make sure not to excessively buffer the coating, as it can rub away.
When your kit is looking beautifully clean, its best to cover it with something, such as a bed sheet. If you do not do this, dust may settle on the drums and moisture may cause further damage and marks. Marks and a build-up of dirt will eventually act as an abrasive and give it a shorter life span. By taking the extra steps to keep your drumset clean, you can ensure years of playing and a
fresh-looking kit.

Reviews for the Acer Aspire 1830T-38U2G32iki
Source: Good Gear Guide
The Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T is an ultraportable notebook that's light, very mobile and provides decent performance for office and Web tasks, as well as some multimedia tasks. We think it should be considered by people who have considered getting a netbook but have been put off by their slow performance.

UN501/13 Eyewear
As a customer of Edel-Optics, you are totally aware that eyewear can crown your style. This accessory makes you look very smart when you are out and about and convincing in the office and in your leisure time. The UN501 is brand new on the market in 2016, with this eyewear you are at the cutting-edge of trends. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of UN501in our 2015, and 2016 Vienna Design range.
This Vienna Design model is an all-rounder, equally suiting men and women. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The quadratic shape is a good choice, especially for softer facial features. The square glasses give more contour to a round face. The straight outer edges also give the impression that the face is longer. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Anyone who likes something more extravagant will choose this shade of red. There is no possibility of ignoring this style for Men and Women.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Vienna Design back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get UN501 at such a low price, not even in the sale.
