DALLAS - Retirees and all-you-can-eat buffets? Not on this travel bus tour.
How about bar-hopping? Adventure side trips? Even scheduled free time and the potential for romance?
Only travelers between the ages of 18 and 35 can board a Contiki Holidays bus for sightseeing trips geared toward the young and social. Singles are OK, as well as those in relationships, but travelers on many trips must declare "red light" or "green light" status to show their availability for dates.
"The concept is really for young, like-minded travelers who want to experience the world with other people in their similar age group," said Lisa Wooldridge, Contiki's vice president of marketing. "It's not your grandmother's tour."
For 40 years, the Geneva-based company has offered tours worldwide for young travelers, but they're still catching on in the United States. Many tour companies offers specialized trips - like adventure or music tours - for young tourists, but "Contiki has been one of the pioneers in their market segment" for general sightseeing tours, said Michael Palmer, executive director of the Student Youth Travel Association.
"One of the successes of a model like Contiki is that they found ways to bring people from a variety of different cultures and backgrounds together," Palmer said.
Itineraries vary from whirlwind four-day trips to 48-day tours of 16 countries, with prices ranging from $225 to $4,439. In the U.S., Contiki offers 18 trips, ranging from three to 24 days and locations from Hawaii to Maine. New York and Los Angeles are big draws for foreign travelers as well as Texas, Wooldridge said.
Jordan Allen, a 24-year-old tour manager, said the confines of the bus can create international friendships and even marriages.
"There's a lot of single people and tight spaces," Allen said recently during one of many cross-country trips that stop in Dallas. "You're forced to get to know each other really fast."
Caroline Bussey, a 21-year-old beautician from Tulsa, Okla., said she didn't book her Contiki trip to Europe last year with the intent of finding a boyfriend, "but I found a great guy and I credit the tour, because you can really get to know someone in 46 days."
Contiki trips are well-known in Australia and New Zealand - they were started by New Zealander John Anderson in 1961 - and are popular with Europeans and Canadians. While less known in the United States, young tourists who've discovered the trips say they're a great way to meet people from different countries without traveling internationally.

It seems too often we say about Congress, "It can't get worse than this." You probably didn't hear about it, but it has now reached rock bottom. At least, we can hope so.
You know Congress left town, the House having wasted millions of dollars voting the 40th time to repeal Obamacare, which the House passed years ago. That's not the bottom. Read on.
You know Senate Republicans continue to set records filibustering so many amendments and bills, the Senate has achieved precious little this session. No bottom yet. Read on.
You may have heard Congress returns after Labor Day to repeat the sequestration nightmare. That's the plan devised to force a budget because it was thought Republican obstructionists would not be stupid enough to force deep, automatic across-the-board cuts if a budget were not passed. Now we know they are stupid enough. Read on.
The sleazy two leaders of the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee, Democrat and Republican, have asked all senators to suggest what to keep or not in a proposed rewrite of the tax code, including whether to keep mortgage deductions, the darling of this newspaper's publisher.
Fair enough, but the bottom was reached when they promised the senators to keep their suggestions secret from voters by using them to craft a bill and then lock them away in the National Archives for 50 years, so most will be dead before their constituents learn what they wrote and find they were hypocrites.

Brian Clement claims Hippocrates treatments "reverse" multiple sclerosis
American charlatan Brian Clement made another trip to Canada recently and was caught on audiotape claiming multiple sclerosis could be "reversed" at the Hippocrates Health Institute (HHI), where he serves as Director. This is yet another in a series of his misrepresentations about the effectiveness of the quack treatments offered at HHI. Indeed, Clement calls to mind the old joke about inveterate liars:
Q: Know how can you tell this guy is lying?
A: His lips are moving.
Once again, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which has done an outstanding job exposing Clement and his mendacity, caught him in this particular fabrication. (The American media, by contrast, has largely ignored the story, even to the point of printing credulous puff pieces about Clement.) According to the CBC, it:
obtained a recording of a lecture Clement gave in September in Montreal where he said, "Last week, we had somebody at the institute that reversed multiple sclerosis."
He went on to claim that many other people who visited his Florida spa, the Hippocrates Health Institute, saw similar results.
"A nurse that came to us two years ago was crippled, had braces on. By the time she left Hippocrates, she reversed the multiple sclerosis.
"And mainstream medicine, they think it's remarkable. I've seen lots and lots of people over the years did that."

To assess the influence of bilateral pulmonary hypertension on the success of lung allotransplantation, 19 dogs underwent bilateral simultaneous pulmonary artery (PA) banding. This elevated mean PA pressures from 17/6 to 41/15 mm Hg. Later left lung allotransplantation lowered mean PA pressure to 22/9 mm Hg, and blood flow measurements two weeks later showed 70% of PA flow to be through the graft. Mean survival of 36.4 days compared favorably with that of normal recipients. Slight pulmonary edema occurred in most grafted lungs and was severe enough to cause two deaths. Since in the clinical setting presence of diseased lungs may compel the graft to accept 50% or more of the blood flow, the shortest possible ischemic and nonventilation times must be arranged. Cardiopulmonary bypass was unnecessary in the presence of pulmonary hypertension 2½ times normal.

The door was open to Charlie Manuel's office, and the manager was fidgety. The summers blend together now because there were many. But this was three years ago, on a weekday morning at Wrigley Field, during happier days for a man who dedicated his life to baseball. Chances are he beat every one of his players to the ancient ballpark. Baseball needed Charlie Manuel.
He wanted to talk to someone. Anyone. Manuel radiated in the hours before a game. He told jokes. He taught hitting. He held small children.
He saw a writer, almost one-third his age, and bellowed, "Hey, son!" The door closed. We talked about life. We talked about baseball.

This article reveals the 3 most common reasons why a man doesn't call when he says he will.
Have you ever had a man tell you after your date that he had a great time and that he'd call you? Over the next couple of days you wait with nervous excitement for the phone to ring and each time it does you jump up, race over to the phone, check the caller ID and then feel a huge sense of disappointment as you realize it's not him. As the days pass you go over the date in your mind over and over looking for answers as to why he's not calling.
Well, there is a reason he's not calling and contrary to what you think the odds are he didn't lose your number and he isn't lying in the hospital in a coma. Below are the three most common reasons men don't call when they say they will.
1) He is not interested in you-I know this may be hard to understand, especially after the great time you thought you had on your date but if he is not calling it is a sign that calling you and setting up another date is simply not that important to him. For whatever reasons he has decided that seeing you again is not at the top of his priority list.
2) He's only interested in sex-Yes, believe it or not, there are some men out there who are only interested in sex. These type of men have an uncanny sense of recognizing which women they can get into bed very quickly and which ones will require too much effort. Growing up men are taught "there are girls you take home to meet mom & there are girls you don't". No matter how you may feel about this statement denying exists is like sticking your head in the sand. If a guy is only interested in sex and he doesn't call you back it's because he knows that you will require too much time and energy to get you into bed. He simply moves on to finding someone who is much more willing to "put out".
3) He is a coward - One of the most common questions I'm asked is "Why didn't he call?". My answer always is: "Because he's a coward". It is easier to lie and tell a woman what she wants to hear than it is to look her in the face and tell her the truth. Unfortunately, many men lack the balls to tell a woman the truth.
I realize that these three reasons may enhance the stereotype that men don't know how to treat women. But understand that are plenty of women who do the same thing to men. Human beings often have a hard time being honest with each other, especially if they know what they have to say is going to hurt someone. So instead of being honest, they simply lie or avoid contact with that person.
The next time a guy doesn't call when he says he will, and your asking yourself "Why?", refer to this list, pick one of the 3, don't waste any more of your energy on trying to figure it out and simply say to yourself "Next!"

The Law of Group Boycotts and Related Economic Considerations
Jeffrey Lynch Harrison
University of Florida - Levin College of Law
November 13, 2007
One of the more confusing areas of antitrust law is that dealing with group boycotts. The term has been applied to at least three distinct practices. This draft chapter of a forthcoming book focuses on regulatory and classic boycotts. It assesses them from the perspective of the economics of intellectual property. The conclusion is that regulatory boycotts are most appropriately viewed as potential ancillary restraints while classic boycotts are best teated as per se unlawful.

A Detroit-area tree-trimmer has returned to work and is expressing his gratitude four months after he was severely beaten by a neighborhood mob when he accidentally hit a 10-year-old who darted in front of his truck.
Steven Utash, 54, says he is grateful for the outpouring of support he has received from his community, thanking friends and strangers alike for the 4,600 donations he received that totaled $188,000, the Detroit Free Press reports.
"All were raising me above the wrong that was done to me," wrote Utash of Clinton Township, Michigan, in an emotional letter posted by his daughter on a fundraising website set up for his care.
"When the whole world is on your side, it's a great feeling," he added.
Two men have been convicted in the April mob-style attack, which occurred after Utash got out of his vehicle to help the boy, according to the newspaper. Two other assailants who admitted to their role in the beating await sentencing after accepting plea deals.
The boy, David Harris, broke his foot and cut his mouth after running into Utash's truck, WXYZ Detroit reports.
Utash, who suffered severe head injuries after he was attacked by about 20 people on Detroit's east side, was in a medically induced coma for a time but told supporters that he was fine and found "no damage to my mind and body."
In the letter, he thanked a nurse who was in the crowd after his accident and stepped in to stop the assault, as well as other medical personnel who cared for him during his ordeal.
"I'll always remember all of you loving people," Utash wrote. "Thank you to Debbie Hughes who threw her body over mine to stop the crowd from killing me, she sure is a brave woman. Also, thank you to all the medical people that surrounded me. I notice people in the medical field are all angels here to make other people's life continue. Without them, where would we go?"
He added that his dreadful experience had not dimmed his optimism about people.
"Everything about what happened to me was worth it to feel the pure love of mankind in its purest form," he wrote. "People are love, and I love you all."
Detroit Man Assaulted By Neighborhood Mob Returns to Work, Thanks 'Loving' Supporters

At the end of next month, the deejay will release his fourth album, a triple disc also titled Black Coffee: Africa Rising. The two discs will have all the songs from the live DVD with four bonus tracks. The third disc will be new material from the award-winning deejay, of which the track Afraid of the Dark will be on.

"Just don't call me a starchitect," laughs Frank Gehry as I walk out the door. You said it Frank, not me.
In the back room of a London gallery, the man whom it's probably safe to call "the world's best-known architect" has been talking amiably about his career, his peers, chain-link fencing and the prospect of building in England at last, but the subject we keep returning to is the burden of success. Most architects would dream of achieving Gehry's status but if anything the 84-year-old seems haunted by his celebrity. "I feel more comfortable with a . . . I call it

Georgia State And University Of Pretoria Sign Agreement, Strengthen Partnership
Georgia State University has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of Pretoria in South Africa to further the long-standing collaboration between the universities.
Media Contact
Associate Vice President for Public Relations and Marketing Communications
Since 2002, Georgia State's Department of Psychology and the University of Pretoria's Department of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology have been partners in a research study on speech and language delays in South African children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
Dr. MaryAnn Romski, associate dean of research and graduate studies in the College of Arts and Sciences, said the MOU will benefit the research study by demonstrating collaboration in its grant initiatives, as well as instituting a pilot project of graduate student exchange. Romski said the College of Arts and Sciences hopes the MOU will also reinvigorate collaborations in history and English.
The signing also sealed collaboration between the Department of Economics in the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies (AYSPS) and the University of Pretoria.
AYSPS has aided instruction on a graduate degree program in taxation within Pretoria's African Tax Institute in their Department of Economics. Dr. Sally Wallace, chair of the Department of Economics in the AYSPS, said the MOU provides the needed platform for furthering these relationships.
"AYSPS has also begun discussions with the university's African Tax Institute to develop online master's level courses in tax policy that could potentially be accessed throughout sub-Saharan Africa," said Wallace, chair of Georgia State's South Africa task force.
During the visit, delegates also discussed establishing initiatives in language, economics, social work, geology and policy issues related to megacities.
"All of us benefitted from the discussions of the work that the top South African universities are doing around the city issues," said Mary Beth Walker, dean of the AYSPS. "We will realize significant gains in expanding our research collaborations with South African universities."
The delegation was led by Dr. Risa Palm, provost of Georgia State, and Dr. Jun Liu, Georgia State's associate provost for international initiatives.

Environmental Regulation
EPA to Decide On Coal Ash This YearBy Cathy Cash | ECT Staff Writer Published: February 3rd, 2014
The Environmental Protection Agency has signed an agreement with industry and environmentalists requiring the agency to decide this year how it will regulate coal ash from power plants.
Under the consent decree, EPA has until Dec. 19 to determine whether it will regulate coal combustion residuals as hazardous or nonhazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The consent decree was filed Jan. 29 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Agency officials have indicated a preference for a nonhazardous designation, which would not upset recycling of the byproducts for construction purposes. Industry leaders say they will continue to work towards an outcome that is feasible for states and the power sector.
"We are hopeful EPA will reach such a nonhazardous designation. We do, however, have serious problems with the nonhazardous approach in EPA's 2010 proposal," said Dorothy Kellogg, NRECA senior principal for environmental issues.
"Because EPA lacks authority to compel states to adopt federal nonhazardous standards, the proposed program would be enforced through citizen suits and the courts. We need coal ash legislation like that passed by the House to settle this matter."
On Capitol Hill, House members from both parties overwhelmingly passed a bill last July that would require EPA to defer to states to manage and dispose of coal ash. The new consent decree deadline has triggered House leaders to urge the Senate to do the same and end the regulatory uncertainty surrounding the EPA rule that is chilling investment and job creation.
"We can close this regulatory gap today if only the Senate were to take up our bill," said House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich.
NRECA and a broad coalition of American workers support the Coal Residuals Reuse and Management Act of 2013 that was crafted by Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va.
"A legislative solution will give more certainty for the hundreds of thousands of Americans whose jobs depend on it," he said. "With this court decision, it makes it even more imperative for the Senate to pass this bill."

It is sad to see the sight of dying palmyra trees (Borassus flabellifer) along the road in Galle Face green.
These palm trees were not growing well since they were transplanted a few years ago.
Although some types of palms tolerate transplanting, palmyra palm may not tolerate transplanting. These ugly looking dead trees should be removed and planted with specially selected sea breeze resistant trees.
Some of the suitable trees are Mudilla (Barringtonia asiatica), Gan suriya (Thespesia populnea) Domba (Callophyllum inophyllum) Lettacochcha (Pisonia alba) Casuarina equisetifolia.
I would suggest to plant Mudilla trees which are found easily around Colombo. Medium sized trees should be root balled and transplanted in wooden containers incorporating coir dust, sand and little top soil.
Allow the trees to be established well in the containers for 10-12 months. Watering and fertilising should be done regularly to form a good root system. After establishing well the trees can be transplanted in the ground at 10-12 meters apart incorporating well decomposed compost, sand, coir dust and top soil. Planting should be done during rainy season.
Trees should be supported by strong stakes to protect from strong wing.

The pass book of my savings account opened for me at the post office, by my mother about 35 years ago, was recently misplaced by me.
Though this account had been transferred to the National Savings Bank, I had no record of the number or to which branch this account had been transferred.
However, I spoke to the Manager of the Nugegoda National Savings Bank and he requested to send him a letter with whatever details I had.
He kindly undertook to try and trace my account number. Sometime after I furnished these details he traced the number and forwarded the requisite forms to be completed by me to enable him to issue a new pass book.
Once this was done, in a short time, he requested me to call over and collect the new pass book. I write to place on record the patient and courteous manner of this gentleman, and the efficient way he handled this difficult problem.
His helpful attitude and dedication to duty are greatly appreciated. Officers of his calibre are a boon to the general public and I wish him success for the future.
I might add that the staff of this branch, like their Manager, are also polite and obliging. Good luck to them too.
by E. G. M. C. de Silva,
A few days ago I wrote to National Savings Bank (NSB) Chairman, Cyril Herath to bring to his notice certain shortcomings at the NSB.
The letter was posted by me during the week-end and to my surprise on Tuesday morning around 9 a.m., I received a telephone call from Cyril Herath the Chairman himself.
The Chairman thanked me for bringing the shortcomings to his notice which he said would be taken up with the Senior Managers. I am happy that there are persons such as Herath at the head of a government institution.
Usually, when some shortcomings are pointed out the management either finds excuses or justices what was done I wish there are at least a few more officers such as Herath in the State and Corporation sector.
Another point I wish to make that the Chairman was at his desk by 9 a.m. whereas some heads of corporations are having breakfast in their homes, at this time.
I also want to bring to the notice my own experience at the office of the Registrar of Companies at Union Place.
I recall reading a letter written by a member of the public that his matters were attended to within a matter of minutes. My own experience is that the application I handed over for a Business Registration over a month ago and I am yet to receive the certificate of registration.
Also the instructions for filling of applications are not clearly stated in the form itself. Some new requirements such as certification by a JP is said to be put on the notice board.

Now that two 'gentlemen' are competing the presidential election, can we hope (against better judgment) that we will have a fair and lovely election?
Can the future contestants to the highest post of this country follow the following codes of conduct: No mud slinging on the personality of the opponent, inform clear defined principles they hope to impose on the country, country first, party second attitude, no posters, no polythene decorations and both contestants appearing on the same stage all over the country.
We are sick and tired of dirty politics of today and sincerely hope this will be the dawn of clean, gentlemanly politics.

Hats off to President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga for her timely decision to make the English language medium of instruction in all schools from the beginning of next year.
It is indeed a highly laudable decision, which many teachers and parents welcome.
Since we switched on to medium of instructions in the National languages the standard of English in our schools began to decline. As a matter of fact, there are many students who have reached the credit standard in English at the GCE O/L Examination, can neither speak nor write a few lines of English without murdering the Queen's Language.
A thorough knowledge of English is very essential in our fast moving world of science and technology.

Recently the LTTE killed two principals of two leading colleges in Jaffna. This everyone know. They killed them because the two principals did not allow the students to participate in the Pongu Tamil Carnival held in Jaffna recently.
Their cowardly acts wont take the LTTE anywhere to achieve its ambition. If they are sole representatives of the Tamils they couldn't have done a thing like that.
Earlier also they murdered two Hindu priests. The majority of the Tamils are Hindus. When the time comes they will teach the LTTE a lesson.
When Charles Wijayawardene was murdered the LTTE blamed the people of incivil for this. Why? They wanted the armed forces to kill and attack the people to take revenge. Luckily this did not happen, why? Everyone knew that the LTTE was behind the murder of Charles Wijewardene.
In the name of freedom struggle we let them grow. It is our mistake.
They are using us as shields.
Now the Presidential election has come.
Don't miss this opportunity.
The Tamils and Muslims in the North and East should vote for Mahinda and teach a lesson to the LTTE which is a one man army dancing to the tunes of Prabhakaran who is a dictator and a murderer.
He wont die now. He will kill the last Tamil and die.
by T. Nadarajah.
The service was superb with exquisite interior to go with smiling service and conveniently available mailing stationery to complete the picture with a well manicured garden gives a taxpaying patron much satisfaction.
A daily newspaper referred this suburban post office 'State-of-the-art' once years ago. The good work goes on.
Complaints even proved with many self-addressed letters, that mails even with the much popular modern e-mail and faxes are still wanting and inefficient and late.
Anyway, never can the system of 'stamp issue' of any post office so far can be ever encouraged or imagined.
When a simple imprest of stamps to all counters recoverable at day as an internal arrangement, why people have to hop from counter to counter, queues to queues just for getting stamps from the only counter provided to cater for all stamp valuation of the many other counters is just beyond belief and shows lack of initiative.

One of the pleasures of watching those huge yellow flowers following the summer sun is anticipating harvesting sunflower seeds in the fall. If you have done your homework and planted a sunflower variety with large, full heads, you're in for a treat, but beware; you won't be the only one harvesting sunflower seeds. Sunflower harvesting is a favorite past time of birds, squirrels, field mice and deer. To beat the local wildlife, it is important to know when to harvest sunflowers.
When to Harvest Sunflower Seeds
Harvesting sunflowers is easy, but deciding when to harvest sunflowers can give some gardeners pause. Heads picked before the proper time may have plenty of seed coats with little meat. Wait too long to harvest sunflowers and the tender seeds will be too dry to roast. Wait until the animals start sunflower harvesting for you and there'll be nothing left for you!
Harvest sunflowers when their petals become dry and begin to fall. The green base of the head will turn yellow and eventually brown. Seeds will look plump and the seed coats will be fully black or black and white stripes depending on the variety. If animals or birds are a problem, you can cover the heads with fine netting or paper bags as soon as the petals begin to wilt.
How to Harvest Sunflower Seeds
While most growers agree on when to harvest sunflowers, how to harvest sunflowers seeds is largely a matter of preference and neither method provides a greater yield.
One method for harvesting sunflower seeds allows the seeds to fully ripen on the stem. When seeds are fully ripened and just beginning to loosen from the head, cut the stem about one inch below the head. Now briskly rub the seeds from the head with your hand, blow off the chaff and allow the seeds to dry before storing.
The second method for harvesting sunflowers begins when about two-thirds of the seeds are mature. Cut a longer piece of stem. 3 to 4 inches works well. Wrap a paper bag around the head and hang the heads in in a well ventilated area for a few weeks to dry. Make sure the area is warm, but not hot.
Sunflower harvesting has a long history as an American tradition and they have been part of man's diet for centuries. Native Americans were harvesting sunflower seeds long before Europeans arrived. They boiled the heads to extract the oil and ate the seeds either raw or baked in breads and infusions were used medicinally. The seeds are a good source of calcium, phosphorus and potassium.
Whatever your reasons for harvesting sunflower seeds, whether as winter feed for the birds or a tasty treat for your family, sunflower harvesting is easy and fun and can create a new fall tradition for you and your family.

Sherman's March
- Directed by Ross McElwee
===Story=== Filmmaker Ross McElwee turns his cameras inward when his proposed documentary on Northern Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman, perhaps the single most hated Union officer in the South, becomes a witty and unexpectedly engaging meditation upon his own ailing love life. As McElwee retraces Sherman's 19th-century march through the South, where his blazing trail left smoking ruins of Georgia's cities and towns in his wake, he can't seem to help but train his camera on a succession of Southern women he meets along the way, using the documentary as a sly method of meeting girls. (Aspiring filmmakers take note: it works surprisingly well.) ''Sherman's March'' evolves into an introspective meditation on love, happiness, the fear of nuclear holocaust, and the meaning of life. McElwee's light touch and relaxed, deadpan offscreen narration gives this genial documentary tour of his soul a rare kind of insight. ''--Sean Axmaker'' ===DVD Features=== * Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono) * Interview with director Ross McElwee * General Sherman's personal letters * Photo gallery * Trailers

CHESTER-The Taylor, Smith & Taylor pottery site has sat vacant and blighted for so long that it's easy to forget that, at one time, the Chester company helped set America's dinner tables with attractive, economical china.
TS&T was one of the largest, most successful potteries in the area, employing up to 700 people and churning out dinnerware that was easy on the eye and equally easy on the wallet.
Today, 30 years after the riverfront factory closed, all that's left are piles of brick, concrete, steel and wood-the vestiges of a once-proud pottery that are waiting to be recycled or hauled off to a landfill. Recently, among the rubble and ruin, demolition workers found a perfectly-intact cup with gold lining around its delicate rim.

It's the kind of lining that lifelong Chester resident Shirley Barnhart, 86, remembers her aunts painting onto TS&T china years ago. "Several of them were liners," she said. "I remember going for my aunt to get the gold (paint). You'd get a small bottle, which went a long way."
Many area residents remember TS&T as one of the area's biggest employers in the mid-20th century, while others enjoy collecting its distinctive plates, bowls, cups, trays, soup tureens and spittoons. Some even still use the stuff.
"The colors they were offering (in the 1930s) were almost ahead of their time, and, so, they were better positioned for the 1940s and '50s," said Sarah Webster Vodrey, director of the Museum of Ceramics in East Liverpool. "They were open to the fact that Americans were becoming more open to colorful dinnerware."
The prime example of that trend in the 1930s, Vodrey said, was TS&T's "Lu-Ray" line of pastel dinnerware. "Lu-Ray" was introduced to the American consumer in 1938 with the colors Windsor Blue, Persian Cream (more like yellow), Sharon Pink and Surf Green. Chatham Gray came along in 1949.
"Set your table with jewels" read TS&T's promotional literature for "Lu-Ray," which reportedly took its name from the colorful Luray Caverns in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. "Soft precious shades to glisten with ever-changing beauty at each meal," read one illustrated price list from 1948. "Graceful, smooth flowing lines to cast lovely long reflections. These are Lu-Ray Pastels, master potted from the world's finest opaque dinnerware body."
"Lu-Ray" became a lucrative alternative to the brighter shades of the Homer Laughlin China Co.'s "Fiesta" dinnerware, introduced in 1936, Vodrey said. TS&T's answer to "Fiesta" was its own "Vistosa" line introduced in early 1938.
Despite, or perhaps because of, the Great Depression, "there was a desire for color and an openness to color" in the popular culture, which extended to the kind of dinnerware Americans used, Vodrey said.
TS&T, founded in 1899 by the brothers William L. and Charles A. Smith, established itself in the early part of the new century as a maker of hotel china and toilet ware, in addition to dinnerware. An illustrated 1917 catalog shows a detailed array of Chester hotel china, "Verona" and "Avona" dinner service, and toilet ware-bed pans, brush vases, mugs, slop jars, slop pails, spittoons and more.
The hotel china and toilet ware later dropped away as TS&T concentrated on dinnerware and specialty items, Vodrey said.
David Wright, 68, of Chester, worked for TS&T on the cleanup crew from 1965 to 1967, even as he was beginning a career with the U.S. Postal Service. "A lot of the people who worked there grew up in the pottery and worked there their whole lives," he said. "There were people there in their 60s and 70s. It seemed like everybody who worked there ... loved the plant and loved the job."
Dave Conley, who recently retired as director of retail sales and marketing for Homer Laughlin, worked for TS&T from 1964 to 1981, the year the Chester plant was closed by then-owner Anchor Hocking. Conley was assistant manger, then general manager, of TS&T's chain of retail stores, known as Cavalier China Co.
"At one time, they were the second-largest pottery, after Homer Laughlin," Conley said. "It was a department store dinnerware line. As imports started to have an effect, they moved to ... large customers like Sears, S&H Green Stamps and supermarket promotions with Giant Eagle, Publix and Winn-Dixie."
After "Lu-Ray," which was discontinued in 1961, TS&T's most popular dinnerware lines included: "Conversation" (1950-1954), designed by Walter Teague, "Versatile" (1952-c. 1965), "Pebbleford" (1952-c. 1960), "Chateau Buffet" and "Oven-Serve" (1956-c. 1965), and "Taylorton," a fine china line in production from 1958 to circa 1965, according to the out-of-print "Collector's Guide to Lu-Ray Pastels" (Collector Books, 1995) by Kathy and Bill Meehan.
The guiding force behind some of TS&T's most popular lines was the designer John Gilkes. Another important TS&T industrial designer was Doris Coutant, who, although afflicted with polio, painted some of her designs by holding a paintbrush in her mouth.
It was Coutant who, in the 1950s, assisted with the design of the Howdy Doody cookie jar, banks and children's dishes for TS&T and Purinton Pottery.

<blurb-ee-ij>: a small piece of technical or business writing (often part of a work or school assignment) that could have been written far more succinctly, but that has been drawn out in order to create an exaggerated sense of significance or complexity.
The definition given above is, itself, an example of blurbiage. It could have been defined simply as "a mash up of blurb and verbiage", but that wouldn't have made the author look nearly as sophisticated.

You've swung straight South. Your wanderings through Turkey are all over the place. I thought it would be a straight line to Constantinople.
Perhaps this is an escape from the cold. This is almost winter time and you're wandering in fairly cold climes. When are you swinging South, if at all !

Fethiye lies on the western side of the Lycian peninsula that juts down into the Mediterranean Sea on Turkey's southern coast
Modern visitors can view or visit the Tomb of Amyntos looming behind the town, an Ionic temple dating back to 350 BC. Another historical remnant is a theatre dating back to Roman times that is just beside the harbor. You could easily mistake it for a constrsuction site unless you look closely. If this were not enough, there is a Crusader Fortress built by the Knights of St. John who used the city as a base for battles on the front lines. Un a bizarre twist, the armies of the Fourth Crusade who set out to liberate the Holy Land, were persuaded instead to sack Constantinople due to internal Byzantine rivalry.
While the views of the harbor and sea from Fethiye are pleasing, it does not have a beach. The beach resort of Oludeniz (Dead Sea) is just a half-hour Dolmush (same as marshrutka in the ex-Soviet union, mini buses that operate on an approximate schedule and leave when full) ride over the hills to the southeast. Enroute, you pass through the bizarre holiday towns of Ovacik and Hisaronu that have an over saturation of tacky hotels, salons and restaurants. The towns seem to be courting visitors from the UK with names like Saintsbury (sic), Marc and Spencer (sic) etc. There was a Chindi restaurant that claimed to serve Chinese and Indian cuisine. In this low season, these towns wore a ghostly look as none of the businesses seemed to be open. The same goes for Oludeniz beach where the bulk of the businesses were closed barring the odd store or cafe. Nobody can blame the weather which was balmy (in the middle of November!), allowing even us beach-averse travelers to spend a few minutes with the Mediterranean waters around our shoulders. However, one particular business was thriving and this was paragliding. The clear blue sky was dotted with several gliders making their descent from nearby mountain tops down onto the beach. The stretch of white beach and blue waters with an adjacent lagoon features on many picture postcards. The beach however is more pebble than sand and is not suitable for bare feet.
The Lycian Way is a 509 km long trail from Fethiye to Antalya that was opened in 1999
Towards the middle section, the scenic value of the trail drops significantly due to construction sites on villages enroute. It gets better towards the latter stages, passing through remote villages with friendly residents. The path is quite rocky requiring care while descending towards Faralya where several guesthouses can be found for the tired hiker. Alternatively, one can return to Fethiye on a dolmush if one reaches Faralya before the last one leaves at 4:40 pm. We managed to get there with an hour to spare to enjoy views of the Butterfly Valley and some refreshment at the village. We had taken spare change of clothing for the night but chose to return back to Fethiye via the last dolmush. A decent workout for the day
A short dolmush ride from Fethiye is the ghost town of Kayakoy (once called Karmulassos by its Greek inhabitants). The surprising fact about this town is its relatively recent history dating back to WWI. The League of Nations oversaw a population exchange between Ottoman Greeks and Greek Muslims in 1923 after Turkey's War of Independence. The Ottoman Greeks moved from Karmulassos to Greece and founded a settlement near Athens. The Greek Muslims who took their place in Kayakoy eventually abandoned the town (many theories exist). Today the 2000 stone houses on the hillside over the modern town of Kayakoy is a cultural heritage monument. We walked for an hour through the stone paths cut through the town. A surreal experience. We wonder if we will get to the other side on this trip. Let us see.

You've swung straight South. Your wanderings through Turkey are all over the place. I thought it would be a straight line to Constantinople.
@Ramesh : It is an approximate clockwise arc starting top right and ending at Istanbul, carefully avoiding the cold winter in the Eastern mountains (we saw Ararat from Armenia anyway) and the Syrian border in the south. Had to curve inward to cover Cappadocia and could not resist the Safranbolu detour which was clearly a push in the wrong direction.

Kids in Control — Teaching Students to Make Healthy Choices
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2, 3–5
We have all seen our students bring chips and cookies for snack time and throw out their apples at lunch. As we make our way into the testing season — and National Nutrition Month — we start talking to our students and families about making healthier choices. While we do this, we tie in as many standards as possible. Besides using resources from Scholastic, we also borrowed lesson ideas and printouts from Chef Solus at Nourish Interactive.
The Food Groups
We start our healthy living unit by introducing each of the food groups. We give examples of foods from each group and talk about what makes these foods healthy. We teach our students that the healthiest foods come straight from nature and not out of a package.
Where Healthy Foods Start
Since healthy foods come from nature, why not take this opportunity to teach the life cycle of a plant? Ask your students where lettuce comes from and see how many answer, "The grocery store!" We plant seeds in paper cups and place them on the window ledge. The students love to watch their seeds blossom into real plants. An idea we picked up from Kris Holmes, one of our 3rd grade colleagues, was to plant the seeds in sandwich bags full of soil, leaving the bags open at the top. We tape the bags to the window ledge. This allows students to see how the seed opens and sprouts through the soil.
Sorting It Out
Using a variety of Scholastic Printables, we have our students color, cut, and sort foods several different ways.
We sort them by food group, by "anytime snacks" vs. "sometime snacks," and even by meal. We sort them whole class, with partners, and independently.
This repetition allows for lots of oral language practice and reinforces the lessons.
Lap Attack
Knowing what to eat is only half the battle. Getting kids moving is the other. We do a "lap attack" to encourage our students to exercise. We dedicate the first ten minutes of every day to walking or running laps. We do this for a few reasons. First, because it gets blood flowing to the brain before we get started in the classroom, and second, so we don't have to try and squeeze in P.E. time once the day gets started. After our day starts, P.E. can so easily be overlooked. We also want to show our students that P.E. isn't just a fun Friday activity.
To keep track of how many laps they can do, we give them a popsicle stick each time they finish a lap.
We have a chart in the room to keep track of how many popsicle sticks they have collected. Students are not racing each other, but themselves. They love to see their number of laps go higher.
Make a Commitment
Students will have much more "buy in" when you have them sign a contract. There are several different contracts you can do. You can choose to do contracts to watch "No TV/Limited TV," to eat one veggie every day, or to engage in physical activity. Whatever you decide, it is always best to get the parents involved and have them sign the contract with their child as homework.
We have done this for several years, and it has always had very positive results. Last year a parent actually thanked us because her son started asking for fruit instead of chips to take for his snack time. One way to keep track of their progress is to give them a calendar printout for the month. They can draw a picture of what they did that day to show how they met their goal.
Wrapping It Up
Wrap up the month with a writing project! We make a "My Nutrition Book!" using a template from Scholastic. We write one to two sentences for each food group, and each food group gets its own page. Each page of the book has a sentence starter. The students need to fill in the blank and finish the sentence.
For example, one starter is: "My favorite food in the _______________ group is __________________because________________________________________________."
We would love to hear your thoughts on and ideas for teaching nutrition and healthy living habits. Please comment below!
LOVE the "snack party" idea Candice! I think you are right about kids wanting to impress those around them by liking the same things. I love that book too! As a matter of fact, I was just noticing today that I need to buy a new copy...mine is looking pretty ragged! :-) I have done this lesson for several years and I have had great support from most parents. I have had notes come to school asking me what type of bread they should buy or what type of snacks should they pack for their child. Sometimes, I think we need to educate beyond the kids in our class. :-) Thanks for the comments!
My book looks like it has been roughed up also. All the pages are taped back together because they're falling apart at the seems. The students really enjoy the comical pictures and silly words.
Thank you for replying to my response. I hope that you have a great school year :)
Hello :)
My name is Candice and I'm a first grade teacher. I loved your idea of the "Lap Attack" chart. It helps to get the students motivated to take part in physical activity. For most students it might be the only major activity that gets their bodies 100% engaged.
Our school has tried to push for more healthy lifestyles. We have converted the lunch menu to incorporate healthier ingredients and monitor portion sizes. We have also encouraged "snack" parties to contain mainly healthy snacks. Most recently we celebrated observed "green day". St. Patrick's Day is near and the students are learning about the various types of green fruits and vegetables. Today we had a "green snack party" where the students brought in food items such as green grapes, broccoli, celery sticks, cucumber sticks, green beans, soy beans, green apple wedges, etc. It was a very interesting sight to see for two reasons. The first is that majority of the students (13 out of 16) requested for more healthy snacks or as they call it "2nds". The second thing is that as soon as I mentioned that I loved to eat green apples, many hands raised into the air asking for that specific item. I believe that the students wanted to impress me by liking the same food that I did. This makes me wonder about how much influence parents have on the food their children like or dislike. As a teacher, if I mentioned that I didn't care for green apples I wonder how many other students would follow my lead. The book entitled "A bad case of stripes" by David Shannon is a prime example in which this girl did not want her friends to ostracize her for liking lima beans so she acted like they revolted her.
I love the idea of allowing students a healthier alternative while at school, however I think that we're fighting an uphill battle if the adults who are responsible for the students after the day is done encourage fast food and junk eating habits.

Awakened (The House of Night #8)by Kristin Cast P. C. Cast
"My love, speak to me. Tell me everything." Neferet went to Kalona, kneeling before him, stroking the soft, dark wings that unfurled loosely around the immortal. "What would you have me say?" He didn't meet her eyes. "Zoey lives." Neferet's voice was flat, cold, lifeless. "She does." "Then you owe me the subservience of your immortal soul." She started to walk away from him. "Where are you going? What will happen next?" "It is quite simple. I will ensure Zoey is drawn back to Oklahoma. There, on my own terms, I will complete the task you failed." Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa's House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. Dominion over Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being Queen would be cool, wouldn't it? Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same - and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either... And what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart? In the pulse-pounding 8th book in the bestselling House of Night series, how far will the bonds of friendship stretch and how strong are the ties that bind one girl's heart?

Destined (The House of Night #9)by Kristin Cast P. C. Cast
Zoey is finally home where she belongs, safe with her Guardian Warrior, Stark, by her side, and preparing to face off against Neferet - which would be a whole lot easier if the High Counsel saw the ex-High Priestess for what she really is. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and, through Nyx's gift of a human form, Rephaim and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together - if he can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father's shadow... But there are new forces at work at the House of Night. An influx of humans, including Lenobia's handsome horse whisperer, threatens their precarious stability. And then there's the mysterious Aurox, a jaw-droppingly gorgeous teen boy who is actually more - or possibly less - than human. Only Neferet knows he was created to be her greatest weapon. But Zoey can sense the part of his soul that remains human, the compassion that wars with his Dark calling. And there's something strangely familiar about him... Will Neferet's true nature be revealed before she succeeds in silencing them all? And will Zoey be able to touch Aurox's humanity in time to protect him - and everyone - from his own fate? Find out what's destined in the next thrilling chapter of the House of Night series.

Spears, who according to police appeared to be "under the influence of an unknown substance," was strapped to a gurney and rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Federline later showed up and custody of the children, Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, was transferred to him.
A source tells PEOPLE the pop star's court-appointed child monitor called police. "She had already put Preston in the car when Britney locked herself in a room with Jayden," says the source.
Spears, who has visitation rights with the kids, was scheduled to give the boys over to Federline at 7 p.m. Thursday. A bodyguard for Federline arrived to pick up the boys at the designated time, but Spears refused to relinquish her sons, according to a source.
According to police, officers responded around 8 p.m. to a call "about a custodial dispute regarding Britney Spears's children," says Los Angeles police Officer Jason Lee.
Nearly three hours later, police determined that a court order stated that the singer's children, who were with Spears at the time, were supposed to be with Kevin Federline, and a transfer was arranged, according to Lee.
"While officers were on the scene, they observed Ms. Spears under the influence of an unknown substance," Lee added. (PHOTOS: Britney in the ambulance.)
In addition to multiple officers, fire trucks, two ambulances and a police helicopter were all on the scene. Spears was seen being taken to an ambulance on a gurney. (See video here.)
Britney's Father Arrives at HospitalAfter Spears arrived at the hospital, her father, Jamie, and her ex, Federline were spotted there.
Police – as well as Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan – arrived at the house close to 8 p.m., though Kaplan was later seen leaving.
Earlier in the day, Spears showed up 90 minutes late to a scheduled deposition in her custody case – and stayed for only a fraction of an hour.
Back at her Studio City home directly after the hearing, when a photographer asked if Kaplan was nice to her, Spears, 26, responded with an emphatic, "No!"
When reached by PEOPLE, Spears's lawyer Sorrell Trope, who on Wednesday filed a request to withdraw from the singer's custody case, said only: "No comment."
