BLOOMSBURG - More than a few Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble patrons must have raised their eyebrows in disbelief when they spotted "Murder at the Howard Johnson's" as one of this season's attractions.
A bust on Broadway (closing after only four performances) and a downright low-brow comedy wouldn't seem to be a likely selection for the nationally acclaimed resident professional ensemble housed in downtown Bloomsburg.
But if last week's opening night audience is any indication, "Murder at the Howard Johnson's" will turn out to be box office gold.

BTE's production of "Murder at the Howard Johnson's" has 7:30 p.m. performances Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and a 3 p.m. curtain Sundays at the Alvina Krause Theatre now through March 25.
BTE's production of "Murder at the Howard Johnson's" has 7:30 p.m. performances Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and a 3 p.m. curtain Sundays at the Alvina Krause Theatre now through Thursday.
A performance for the hearing impaired is scheduled on March 22.
This freewheeling comedy by Sam Bobrick & Ron Clark is set in a HoJo Motor Inn - set over three holidays - has three murder plots hatched among a husband, Paul, his wife, Alene, and her dentist lover, Mitchell. With twists and turns galore, each becomes the target of murder as alliances shift.
In Act I, it's Christmas Eve 1978, when a middle-aged femme fatale of sorts plots with her skirt-chasing dentist to kill her husband, who won't divorce her because he loves her too much. But a hilarious-but-botched bathtub drowning fails.
In Act II, it's the Fourth of July 1979, and the would-be victim is now the smug dentist, as Arlene convinces her husband to bump off her former and current lover because he hasn't been faithful to her. Although there are fireworks exploding outside, the would-be homicide implodes inside.
In Act III, it's New Year's Eve 1979, and guess who might meet her maker if everything goes right? Yes, old, nagging Arlene, who gets on both her husband's and lover's nerves so much, they build a gallows to hang her. But a flaw in the rope saves the day - and triggers the night's biggest laughs.
James Goode is a swarmy sight to behold with his oh-so-'70s look. As the smug dentist Mitchell, Goode gives the funniest characterization, whether trying to put lipstick on perfectly, or limping around the room after getting a needle full of novocaine jabbed in his butt.
If this sounds low-brow, Goode readily agrees.
"We've known that this play was around for many years and in this - our 34th season - we selected it," he said. "It may be low-brow, but we enjoy doing low-brow as much as high-brow."
At the center of this fractured love triangle, is Elizabeth Dowd as the off-balanced Arlene. Dowd may appear occasionally to be overreaching a bit to project her kookiness, but she is a comical delight donning a blonde wig to act like a bimbo. She is really the core screwball in this screwball comedy.
As Paul, the used car salesman, Gerard Stropnicky quickly sells himself to the audience with his dry humor and self composure. Stropnicky garners his share of laughs as he devours lots of KFC while hiding in the closet, crawling out on the window ledge, complaining about bird poo on his shirt and having a heart attack with unexpected results.
An insert in the program notes bids farewell to Gerard Stropnicky. A co-founder of BTE, Stropnicky has acted in over 100 plays since making his debut in 1978 and directed 33 plays.
Stropnicky is retiring from BTE to explore "making theatre with other folks in other places."
BTE's Richie Cannady directs this fast-paced comedy. It's billed as running about two hours, "depending on how long you laugh."
"Richie has a keen eye for comedy," Goode said.
Good pacing makes this breezy comedy even breezier as the cast does the sight gags and shtick with laugh-out loud antics.
The ruffled tux shirts and dresses are '70s looking, with an appropriate HoJo motel room setting. Only the often dimming and raising of the stage lights was unnecessary and distracting.
If anyone believes that BTE never lets its hair down, check into the "Howard Johnson's," located at 226 Centre St. downtown. There, you will find attempted murder can make for a hilariously crazy, entertaining evening.

Music BFA - Performance
The Department of Music studios are an essential element in the development of instrumental and vocal mastery. In these studios, students have the opportunity to work with artist-faculty, guest artists, and each other in private and master class settings. The collegial atmosphere enables our students to grow in artistry in the company of students and faculty who share their passions and commitment to the profession. Several studios (trombone, percussion, strings, woodwinds, and others) offer ensembles, which give regular performances and are integral parts of the Peck School of the Arts (PSOA) musical life.
Performance (MusPerf) refers to courses of individual, group, intermediate or advanced instruction on a musical instrument, in voice or in composition. Courses are available to students after passing a successful performance audition and are placed at an appropriate level. All courses in performance curricular studies are taken for credit to satisfy individual area requirements. All MusPerf performance courses are offered at progressive levels. A student will be advised to register at a specific level after completing an audition, and may advance to the next higher level upon successful completion of each lower level.
Performance (MusPerf) further distinguishes between courses specific to principal and non-principal performance lessons. A principal performance lesson refers to a student's primary instrument or area of concentration. A non-principal performance lesson refers to a student's secondary instrument or area of concentration as required by individual music area curricula. A prospective student must demonstrate advanced technical and artistic skills at the admission audition for a performance degree.top
Required Music Courses:
65-80 credits w/variable electives. See individual area requirements.
Principal Instrument or Voice. 16 cr. Includes four semesters of Music Performance at 3xx level and four semesters at 4xx level. Multiple woodwind majors are required to complete six semesters of Music Performance on a secondary instrument at the 1xx level and four semesters of Music Performance on a tertiary instrument at the 1xx level. The Piano Pedagogy program includes 8 credits at the 2xx level.
Lab Master Class. Up to eight semesters at 0 cr. per semester may be required or recommended as part of your individual lesson obligation.
Piano Requirement. 2-8 cr. Depending on audition results, a student may be required to enroll in MusPerf 001, Piano Fundamentals, for up to two semesters or until the student receives a final grade of B or better. See individual area requirements.
Major Ensemble. 6-8 cr. (1 cr per sem.) Students taking individual lessons must concurrently be enrolled in an approved Performance Ensemble.
Chamber Ensemble. 3-8 cr. Applies to Instrumental Curriculum only.
Music Theory and History. 32 cr. See individual area requirements or electives.

As this new drug has been presented to the medical profession, it is desirable that any untoward reactions from it be brought to the immediate attention of the physician.
Paredrine-sulfathiazole suspension is a preparation introduced by the Smith, Kline and French Pharmaceutical Company. The active components are a suspension of microcrystal sulfathiazole 5 per cent in an isotonic solution of 1 per cent paredrine hydrobromide (p-hydroxy-a-methylphenethylamine). The preservative used is sodium ethyl mercuri thiosalicylate 0.005 per cent; gelatin is present in 0.1 per cent. The product has been recommended by its makers as a vasoconstrictor of the nasal mucosa, with the additional value of the antibacteriostatic action of sulfathiazole. It may be introduced into the nasal cavity and sinuses by drops, atomizer or the displacement method of Proetz. The cases under study have been treated at the Otolaryngological Clinic of the St. Louis University Group of Hospitals.

Why Don't We Use Car Seats On Vacation?Buzz Bishop
We went to Mexico last month for a well-deserved escape from this endless winter.
When we were headed out on a tour bus one day, we were stuck in traffic behind a pickup truck. It wasn't the big beefy trucks we see in our cities with room to haul gear in the back and two rows of seats in the cab. It was an old, small truck that, among the gear in the flatbed, also had a mom and three kids.
They stared at me as we stopped behind them at a red light, our big tour bus looming over them. ¨¨My wife gasped when she saw the truck. And while one side of her mouth was talking about "how can they do that?!" the other side of her mouth was telling tales of how we all used to rattle around in the back of our parents' station wagons growing up.
My own family had a big van that my dad had fashioned into a bench and table in the back seat. We took that thing up and down both the east and west coast of the US and across Canada. Twice. My sister wasn't even 5 years old yet when we started vacationing, and never once do I remember a car seat being in the back.
But that was then, right? We know better now, right? My son, nearly 7, is still in a booster seat in our big family SUV and my 4 year old still in a formal car seat as we wait until he can put on some weight and get to the smaller seat.
So we were shocked to see kids flopping around in the bed of a pickup in busy traffic.
Our own judgmental behavior would be thrown back at us a few days later, as we took cabs into the old town, and over to a dolphin swim. Both times we all piled into the back of the cab. No car seats for the boys, heck, there was barely enough room for all of us to fit in the car.
Which makes me ask and wonder: why do we get so uptight about car seats and then easily dismiss them when we get in a cab on vacation?

2008 saw a remarkable resurgence of the long-running anti-Semitic canard that Jews should not be trusted as citizens of the countries in which they live. In the U.S., this charge usually takes the form of allegations that American Jews are more loyal to the State of Israel than to their own country, and that they willingly sacrifice the best interests of the United State in favor of their own interests or in the service of Israel.
A showcase for this allegation in its most extreme formulation in 2008 was a small conference organized by Jamaat al-Muslimeen (JAM), a small Muslim organization, which took place in Baltimore, Maryland, in August.
Present at the conference were anti-Semites of various ideological stripes. JAM leader Kaukab Siddique, an associate professor of English at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, told the audience that the U.S. is "under the grip of a Jewish Zionist power structure," which includes a "Zionist-controlled media."
Holocaust denier Mark Weber, director of the Institute for Historical Review, said in a speech that the U.S. was pressured into the Iraq war by a "Jewish cabal," which is now seeking to embroil the U.S. in a similar war with Iran. Other participants in the conference were former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, anti-Semitic ideologues Mark Glenn, Hesham Tillawi, Charles E. Carlson, and Maulana Ehsanullah.
More troubling than this gathering of extremists is the fact that allegations of Jewish disloyalty, which have long been a staple of professional anti-Semites, have gained increasing mainstream prominence in recent years, due in large part to the "Israel lobby" writings of University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer and Harvard University professor Stephen Walt. Most anti-Israel activists now actively promote these academics' belief that Zionists and Jews have influenced the U.S., especially in its Middle East policy, in deleterious ways. Such ideas also crop up with increasing frequency in op-ed pages and in mainstream magazines.
A noteworthy variant of the disloyalty charge which appeared in 2008 is the allegation that American Jews are attempting to embroil the United States in a war with Iran, ostensibly in order to strengthen Israel's regional power. This allegation was expressed by a diverse range of individuals, including former CIA analyst Michael Scheuer, former CIA officer Philip Giraldi, former UN Iraqi weapons inspector Scott Ritter, journalist Alexander Cockburn, pro-Palestinian activist Mazin Qumsiyeh, and retired sociology professor James Petras.
Some promoters of this theory accuse American Jews and friends of Israel of "sedition and treason," of "espionage and interference in domestic policies," and of "controlling the communications media," another classic anti-Semitic stereotype.

I received a robo-call message from Portland mayoral candidate Charlie Hales the other night, but was not able to participate in his teleconference. Since he asked, however, I would like to share a few thoughts about what I want in Portland's next mayor:
I want a mayor to be out in front protecting all citizens' interests in ensuring a clean and welcoming city, including clean air and water, reduction of noise and traffic congestion, and protection of the open spaces we all love. I want a mayor to foster civic attitudes of kindness and inclusion. I want more social support systems, not fewer.
I don't want a "businessman mayor"; I want a mayor who will "govern" and protect the city. I don't expect the mayor and City Council to create jobs except within City Hall. We live in a capitalist society, and that is what business people should, and will, do.
The mayor should work with county and state elected officials to make the most out of shared programs/services, but the mayor doesn't need to travel the world on the city's dime to see how it is done in other countries.
The mayor should work to provide reasonable incentives for new business development, but not at the expense of existing business or citizens' rights. The mayor should not tolerate any financial boondoggles. The mayor should always be on the watch for unfair practices in how entrepreneurs and capitalists do their business here (because they will take advantage of loopholes, at best, and, at worst, cheat outright whenever a buck is involved). The mayor should ensure that businesses treat their employees and their customers fairly. (The business owners can watch out for their own stockholders, but the mayor's first obligation is to the general public).
The mayor also needs to advocate for those citizens who need more support, protection and care -- the poor, hungry, elderly, foreign, homeless, ill and downtrodden. As Matthew wrote, they will always be with us and it is up to us to help them out, to share our largesse, for goodness sake.
The mayor needs to ensure honesty and transparency in City Hall. The mayor and City Council also need to treat city employees fairly and ensure that city employees treat the general citizenry fairly.
Of course I have my own personal wish list:
-- Commercial tent signs in the Pearl District are replicating faster than bedbugs in NYC. Shops plunk them in the middle of the sidewalk, inhibiting pedestrian passage. Add these to the numerous free magazine/newspaper boxes, and our sidewalks are almost impossible to use.
-- Repeal to-the-corner street parking. In the past couple of years, the prevalence of SUVs, parked up to the edge of each block, means it is almost impossible to see around traffic at a stop sign if you are on foot or in a car. Just try to cross Northwest 14th Avenue at Kearney Street going east.
-- Get cyclists off the sidewalk. There are plenty of bike lanes, but cyclists are increasingly dangerous to pedestrians when they ride the sidewalks and often nasty to boot. While you are at it, license all adult cyclists and require them to display license numbers on their cycles. Launch a public education program about cycle/car/pedestrian road rules and safety regs and give police encouragement to ticket malefactors.
-- Enforce height limits on new buildings or the Pearl will lose its charm as a live/work neighborhood. Northwest Lovejoy, for example, has become a wind tunnel since the Metropolitan, the Asa, Safeway and the Enso have arrived -- all except the last above the height limit.
-- Do not allow TriMet to eliminate Free Rail Zone. Our excellent and varied public transportation is one of the things that makes Portland such a livable city and helps keep cars out of the core.
-- When groups of citizens want to protest something, provide access to public gathering areas and give them reasonable access to your ear. Treat them as citizens with full rights of assembly and complaint. How can you do otherwise and call this a democracy?
-- Be kind, intelligent and reasonable.
I have lived all over the world (including NYC, London, Beijing, Paris and more), and I love Portland as a livable, beautiful, fun, liberal and interesting place. True, we aren't the biggest city in the land, and we certainly are not on the beaten path. But that is what keeps Portland's style unique.
So, remember the mayor serves the people, protects the heritage and mixed culture of the city while working to better the future for everyone and tries not to screw up. Do that and you will be my choice.

By JIM MIDURA,
Being a Staten Islander years ago was a boastful identity, but times have changed and so have the costs.
It's time to think outside the box because indeed we are truly boxed. We can't move off this Island without paying an ever-increasing price.
The powers that be, the Port Authority or the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, do whatever they want and the elected officials we put into office who sign off on their schemes start to resemble paper tigers.
With this feeling of hopelessness came an idea - an eight-lane stretch of highway at ground level to New Jersey somewhere across the Arthur Kill to link up with the New Jersey Turnpike.
There should be a study on just how vital that waterway is. If closed off, marine traffic would just have to go back out to sea the way they came in. (A detailed study could identify.) I suspect a limited few occasional users versus a half million Island residents, many of whom must venture off this Island on a daily bases to make a living.
It's time to stop living on an island and start thinking about making it a peninsula.

Hey everyone, I don't post very often, but I'm in a relationship situation that I've never really dealt with before, and I'd like to ask your thoughts on it. All advice appreciated, it's lengthy, but you'll have my utmost thanks if you can help me out.
I was dating this girl at the beginning of 2013. Everything in the relationship was going well, with real connection going on, I felt like this was a relationship that would go somewhere. In April, however, she broke up with me. There were a lot of things going on in her life, with the loss of a family member, and she was really just unsure of what she wanted for the future. She told me she couldn't be in a relationship, but could only offer friendship.
I don't really believe that people can be just "friends" after a relationship, I think it's an organic thing that can't be forced. However, I told myself that I would try, even though I knew I still wanted to be more than friends. So for the next few months, we hung out a few times, e.g. got coffee, went to a music festival, comedy show, etc. Even though we did activities together, we never really spent quality time together after the breakup.
So during our last meeting, she mentioned that we should actually "hang out" sometime. I realized then that I was deluding myself and that I definitely still had feelings for her. A few days after the meeting, I decided to wish her a happy birthday, and then sever contact with her on all mediums, i.e. facebook and phone. I didn't want to be a friend, I wanted to be more.
Two months pass with no contact, and I was preparing to move on, when out of the blue she sends me a text, saying how she was really sorry that she had been a bad friend, and that she hoped she could prove herself better in the future. I responded by coming clean with her. I sent an email telling her how I essentially lied about being friends, and that the only reason I had done these things with her were because I had wanted to be more (since I still had feelings), and that I wasn't properly over her.
I contacted her a few nights later, reiterating that I had no ill will towards her, and that the email was something I needed to be honest about. We talked for a bit, and I found out that the reason she ended it was because she thought she wasn't good enough, and that she was unsure of how I felt towards her. Well, I crumbled and I told her exactly how I felt, and that I should have been more open before, something I absolutely regretted not doing, and asked her if she'd ever like to try again between us. She said that her life was still hectic, but after things settled down with her life and mine, maybe we could try again, if I still wanted to.
So here's my question, guys. I like this girl, I really do, and while I could just go on to someone else, I truly feel this is someone who's worth another shot, unlike in the past. However, I'm not going to wait around forever, I respect myself too much for that. What should I do? Should I wait for her to contact me? Should I check again in a few months? Or just move on?

"We loved with a love that was more than love" - Edgar Allan Poe
If you are a Christian, then pray first. It usually helps. But my suggestion is wait a while, then talk to her. If she still says no, then move on.
Hmmm, thinking with your dick. What could go wrong?
Move on. Things will always be hectic. Either she wants you now or she doesn't want you at all. She has other prospects and has already been with other guys, they just haven't worked out yet.
Let it be. That is, go on with your life and don't be afraid to date other girls if you meet one you like. But if neither you nor she is involved with anyone and the chance comes up in a couple of months, give it a shot. But I don't think I'd pursue her aggressively. Friend her on Facebook, ask her to go with you to a movie if you need a partner, etc. But don't try to date her and don't expect that you'll get to date her. If you can't be "just friends", then for your own sake you should move on and not even do friend things with her.
Agree, you do have to move on. She obviously isn't "the one."
Give her an ultimatum. Tell her you obviously think she is worth evidenced by your sticking around. Life is always hectic and never slows down. Either she is in or you have to move on. Nobody is getting any younger.
You dated someone for four months and you weren't her friend? This is a problem. Marriage, which is the epitome of a long term relationship, is all about friendship.
It seems like today we encourage people to rush after sex without bothering to discover if they like the person they desire. No wonder most relationships fail. The goal of sex is ALWAYS short term. If you want to play the long game, if you want to be happy for years and decades to come, you will need to make better choices.
Did you read my first part? If sex was my only goal, this would have been over and done with already. There's also a difference between friendship in a relationship sense and friendship in a platonic sense, especially if you want to connect on a deeper level. Please don't make judgements in passing, it's rude.
Sorry if I offended you, but I never said sex was your goal. If you wish to be offended, I suggest you do so at the part where I implied that you had sex with her before you decided if you wanted to marry her.
What I want to say is that the process of waiting and deciding is the catalyst that changes a person one the psychic, emotional, and intellectual levels in ways that work to resolve the issues you are currently having.
You may disagree with me, but my purpose in writing was to be helpful.
Thank you guys for all the advice. I'm going to take this all into account and make a decision from there. I don't want to wait forever on a "maybe". Thanks again!
Personally, someone who breaks up with me because of her hectic life, whose life is still hectic nearly a year later, is someone who may never be ready for that kind of committed relationship. The hectic nature of commitment, and by extension, marriage and family, far outweighs the hectic nature of "everyday life".
A true partner should benefit a hectic life, not add to the fact that it's hectic. It sounds like if she truly had feelings of romantic love for you, then it wouldn't matter if her life was hectic. She'd make the time.
My suggestion is to move on. She's keeping you on the hook.

The next conference of the Program in Early American
Economy and Society will be Women's Economies in Early America,
on Friday, October 1, 2004
at the Library Company of Philadelphia,
1314 Locust Street, Philadelphia
The theme of this conference reflects a recent flourishing of scholarship
about the role of women in shaping the early North American economy during
a time of both unprecedented economic development and significant changes
in traditional family, household, and market economies. These changes were
evinced everywhere European peoples settled in mainland North America
during the early modern era, and recent scholarly work on women's
experiences makes it imperative for us to rethink many long-standing
generalizations about such topics as frontier and urban female economies;
family strategies for dividing labor and creating economic efficiencies
within the household; shaping new economic identities out of varied
European, African, West Indian, and Native American cultures; the nature of
women's retailing and entrepreneurship aside from household roles; the
varieties of negotiation of race and class in economic contexts;
comparative women's economies from region to region, plantation to farm, or
across generations and social origins; and much more.
The papers and comments at this conference include some of the finest of
this new work, including that by Ellen Hartigan-O'Connor, Serena Zabin,
Carole Shammas, Marla Miller, Mary Beth Sievens, Stephanie Grauman Wolf,
Kristi Rutz-Robbins, Kate Fawver, and others.
We invite you to read the conference papers in advance; they will posted
on the PEAES web pages after September 1, 2004. Please register
electronically so that we will know you are coming, and then join us for a
lively discussion about the authors' findings and arguments. This
conference is free and open to everyone interested in this topic. The PEAES
website is at: http://www.librarycompany.org/Economics/2004conference. For

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: LifeinAsia & httpwebwitch
I have been looking into the whole VC deal recently, and I do not feel my website is in need of such a serious investor, and I do not even know if the size of my dotcom business will even be considered.
A simple 50k or 100k could potentially (and I am confident it will) place my business in a very ..very profitable and successful position.
Aside from the typical "bank loan" answer, anyone here know where I should be looking?
Hi - I'm not clear why you consider angel investors and bank loans 'too risky', could you expand on that?
This seems like natural angel territory, so I'm not sure why you want to avoid them.
Reason for that is simply because when you have VCs involved, they can tend to take over management and even own a piece of your business. ...unless I am mistake.
I was mainly talking about VCs...but Angels and banks also have high interest rates and asset ownership for liability insurance...
A simple 50k or 100k could potentially (and I am confident it will) place my business in a very ..very profitable and successful position.
You have to have shareholder meetings, divide up the profits to pay dividends to the investors, etc. They will often (althought maybe not for such a small amount) want to get their hands in the business to ensure that they get a nice ROI. What they want to do to may not align with your wishes.
For the amount of money you're talking about, getting a loan from friends/family or a bank, taking out a second mortgage, or even racking up credit cards may be the better route in the long run. Remember- once you pay off the loan, it's over. Shareholders hang on forever (unless you buy them out, which is often more expensive than the interest you would have paid on a loan). Plus the interest that you pay is an expense to write-off on your taxes.
VC are sharks and 99.9% of the groups I know will not consider a investment that small. The due dill. cost and other paperwork will cost a large portion of what you are looking for as an investment.
The best bet is to grunt it out at a job and build the site till you can bail and work on it full time.
Partners can wind up to be a huge headache and destroy the biz. You can do it but imho you need to bootstrap it.
Best of luck,
because when you have VCs involved, they can tend to take over management and even own a piece of your business.
but Angels and banks also have high interest rates and asset ownership
Hi again,
The way it works is this:
VCs or Angel investors buy equity in your business (they buy a share in the business) with the money they 'give' you. As someone else has pointed out in this thread, VCs are unlikely to be interested in an investment this small - so realisticaly we're talking about equity investment by angels or friends / family.
In either case, you'd be selling them a percentage stake in the business - they'd become part-owners.
(Unless your family would actually *give* you money, in which case we're talking about a gift rather than an investment).
When someone buys a share in your business, they get:
- a say in how it's run
- a proportion of the money if you sell it
- a proportion of the money if you pay out dividends
A loan, on the other hand, has regular interest payments, but the lendor doesn't take ownership of any of the equity.
The key difference:
- With a loan, you know in advance how much you're giong to have to pay each month, and if you default (don't pay it back) then the lendor comes and takes away whatever it is you put up as security for the loan (just like the bank having a mortgage on someone's house).
- Whereas with equity investment, if things go badly then you don't have to pay out any money at all. If things go well on the other hand, the deal will usually be structured so that the investor gets more money than they would have got if they'd given you a loan. This is their reward for the extra risk they run.
You're unlikely to be able to get a bank loan unless:
- the business has assets you can use as security,
- you're prepared to use some of your personal assets as security (personally I see this as a Bad Idea)
- you use a scheme where the government provides security to the bank for your loan, such as the Small Firms Loans Guarantee Scheme here in the UK.
A few useful books:
High Tech Start Up by John L. Nesheim
The New Business Road Test by John Mullins
The Venture Capital Handbook: Strategies for Successful Private Equity Investment by William D. Bygrave, Michael Hay, Jos B. Peeters
Smarter Ventures by Katharine Campbell
(some of these are now a bit out of date, so if anyone has more recent recommendations, I'd love to hear them).

If you want a quick and early funds you can go for the bank loans , Since your business is profitable you need not worry for the repayment.
If you want to have a risk free funds you can get a vc , if the business falls , vc also is equally resonsible and his investments gets eroded in the same proportion .
I suggest that initially you distribute some of your holdings among relatives and friends ,say around 5-10% of the holdings of the company.
Once the funds are there in the company , Any project which is break-even will show profits as there will be no cash crunch for handling asset growth rate.
Then eventually you can raise funds from the vc and angels

Haeners' musical tradition
"The Haener Band: A Tribute to Fred A. Haener"
By Donald R. Haener
Discovery Enterprises; 67 pages; $14; call Don Haener, 825-9543.
Where the trade winds blow
Where dreams come true
Sweet paradise
My heart belongs to you
Judging by the original music compositions reproduced in Don Haener's "The Haener Band," longtime musician and Erie band leader Fred Haener was a hopeless romantic.
Above are lyrics from "Hawaiian Isles," but there's also "My Dream Came True," "My Heart Danced," "Sweet Dreams, Sweet-Heart" and "Good-Night, My Sweetie-Pie."
In between, you'll find fight songs for both Gannon and Mercyhurst universities and the daringly humorous "My Auntie's Up-To-Date" ("My auntie says she likes to play the horses / My auntie lost her panties on the horses").
In his brief text, Don Haener explains why his dad wrote so many love songs: Don and his brothers, Ron and Fred T. Jr., grew up in a happy, musical family led by Fred Sr., who would leave two good-paying out-of-town jobs to stay home in Erie, and Katherine Machuga Haener.
Both gone now, Fred Sr. led the band; Katherine endured all the practices at their 29th Street home.
Even when they were too young to join the band, Don, Ron and Fred Jr. would sneak to the landing at the top of the stairs and listen to their dad's five-piece combo.
"Little did our father know that these wonderful melodies would inspire a passion for music," Haener writes.
The Haener band passed through various transformations: Haener's Orchestra, Haener Family Combo, Haener Brothers Big Band. In one form or another, the Haener brothers, plugging in four generations of family musicians as well as many prominent Erie players, made music for almost 70 years.
Haener ends the 16-page color photo section of the book on a sad note: "On Jan. 15, 2014, my brother Fred T. Haener had a massive second stroke, which has brought the Haener Brothers Band to a close."
Still, it hasn't ended the family's extended musical tradition. Don Haener currently leads Erie's Dixie Doodlers Dixieland band, which had the distinction of closing the 2013 Chautauqua Institution season.
DOUG RIEDER is the former editor of the book page.

Super fun, wish it was a Super Access game. Fast paced, hard to get to the 3000 needed for a jackpot spin, so just make sure you win. Enjoyed the amnesia ball, great way to slow down someone who is closing in or ahead of you. Like seeing what the other players have going on, but since it's so fast paced you can't spend much time doing that. I'm sure I'm missing a lot, since I've only played a couple games, but I look forward to playing the multiplayer as well as the single player. See more See less

RARITAN TWP. — A portion of Dory Dilts Road may be closed for two days next week as part of a resurfacing project. The one-mile-long roadway runs roughly southeast from where Route 202 meets River Road to Old York Road (Route 613).
Currently, about a half mile of Dory Dilts, starting at Route 202, is closed from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekdays to all drivers except those who live on the street.
"The only time that the road will be totally closed is for a one- to two-day period when we do the total resurfacing," said Township Engineer Fred Coppola, explaining that no through traffic will be allowed for at least about 24 hours straight, and perhaps up to about 48 hours.
Local residents, however, will be allowed through and workers will help them navigate through the construction to reach their homes. Detour signs will be also be posted.
"It's very easy to go around and get back to the highway," said Coppola. "There's work in progress, and this is a benefit to the town."
He said the project is expected to be finished within two weeks.

This map shows the approximate areas Dory Dilts Road in Raritan will be closed for resurfacing work.

It wasn't the prettiest game for either team. But as we all know, wins don't have to be pretty, any Pitt has certainly had enough of those type of wins over the years.
Pitt topped Virginia 14-3 to improve to 3-1 on the year, 2-1 in ACC play.
The Panthers capitalized on a pair of Virginia turnovers, and a pair of big receptions from Devin Street and Tyler Boyd. Boyd finished with seven catches for 111 yards--his third consecutive 100-yard game, and the first Pitt receiver to do so since Antonio Bryant did in 1999.
And that was pretty much the only highlight for Pitt. The Panthers offensive line allowed seven sacks. The offense as a whole, turned the ball over three times.
"Our defense played really well," Chryst said. "They brought a lot of energy. Certainly, those early turnovers were a key. We were able to cash in on them. It was certainly good and we appreciate the victory. There were a lot of good performances on defense, but mostly I felt everyone was doing their job. The players were cutting loose and that was good to see."
Virginia turned it over twice. Even when given the ball, the Cavaliers could do nothing with any opportunity. Pitt's ability to convert a pair of turnovers into touchdowns, and a couple big plays from their receivers was enough to make the difference.
Pitt jumped out to an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Aside from a 59-10 loss to Oregon, this was a Virginia team that held BYU to 16 points, and a team that shut out VMI last week.
Trenton Coles recovered a fumble on a punt return. His recovery set Pitt up at the Virginia 30. Conner took it in from six yards out for his fourth touchdown of the season. Pitt led 7-0 with a little over five and a half minutes left in the opening quarter.
On the next drive, Virginia quarterback David Watford simply dropped the ball, on a third down play. Pitt recovered at the Virginia 18 yard-line. It took just two plays for Tom Savage to connect with Street for his first touchdown pass of the game. Boyd ran a perfect crossing route, allowing Street to get to the corner of the end zone. Pitt led 14-0, with a little over two minutes left in the first quarter.
Demetrious Nicholson gave Virginia some hope. He picked off a pass from Savage, after is coverage led him to the ball. The Cavaliers took over at the Pitt 30. Yet, because of no vertical passing threat, could not move the ball. Facing a 4th-and-short just a few plays later, Todd Thomas came up and stopped Kevin Parks on a run, giving the ball back to the Panthers.
Three weeks in a row Thomas has come up with a big stop to give Pitt the ball--two blocked punts in back-to-back weeks, and a stop on fourth down today.
Pitt threatened once more in here second quarter, driving all the way to the Virginia 19. Pitt lucked into some good field position, on the drive, too. Savage Reid to hit Street downfield, whose route was cut off by Maurice Canady. Boyd just happened to be there, slightly ahead of Street. He reached up and made the catch, giving Pitt a gain of 30.
Pitt also had to rely on a 15-yard pass interference penalty, when linebacker Henry Coley essentially tackled tight end Manasseh Garner.
As if the drive wasn't odd enough, Virginia declined a Pitt offensive pass interference penalty. Instead of going for it on a 4th-and-25, Pitt attempted a 36-yard field goal. Conveniently, for Virginia, kicker Chris Blewitt missed the field goal attempt.
Pitt took a 14-0 lead into halftime.
The good new for Virginia was that they came up with two turnovers in the third quarter--a fumble recovery after a Boyd reception. Boyd tried to extend himself for an extra yard, and simply dropped the ball. Virginia was set up in good field position, again. However, they went three-and-out.
Anthony Harris came up with a diving interception for Virginia on the next drive, to force the Cavaliers' second turnover of the quarter. Though Harris made a great break on the ball from a safety position, just cutting off the reeceiver's route, Virginia stumbled again. Three plays, three yards gained, and another punt.
The Pitt offense wasn't faring much better. Boyd made reeled in a 37-yarder towards the sideline where he was able to keep one foot in despite receiving tight coverage from Nicholson. Virginia's defensive line was getting pressure on Savage, and their secondary did a great job in coverage all day. Still Boyd and Street were able to make some plays, but not the gamebreaking type of plays they've made the last two weeks.
Despite the 37-yarder from Boyd, Pitt was forced to punt once again.
Ian Frye did get Virginia on the scoreboard with a 33-yard field goal. The third quarter ended with Pitt up, 14-3.
Virginia had one last crack at it, driving it all the way to the Pitt 4. The Cavaliers converted a fourth down on the drive. Anthony Gonzalez came up to make a big stop on a third down passing play, coming to stop Jake McGee on 3rd-and-2 for no gain. On the next play, Watford's pass was out of reach for McGee in the end zone, giving the ball back to Pitt.
"It was really important at the end," defensive tackle Aaron Donald said. "It was a big fourth down stop."
Donald led Pitt on defense with two sacks. Gonzalez led the defensive effort overall, with 10 stops.

We usually expect over 20,000 public viewers to attend and enjoy the weekend.
How much does WWII Weekend Cost?
The event is free to the public and participants, but it costs the 2nd Rangers over $15,000 to hold this event. Those costs do not include marketing, advertising, explosives, food, drink, or staff - everyone who works the event volunteers their time. The 2nd Rangers does not receive grants for this event, all funds are from donations from previous events.
No one - no vendors, reenactors, or vehicle display personnel are paid to attend.
The 2nd Rangers are a non profit organization and we survive off of your donations, as such, donations are greatly appreciated. As the U.S. 2nd Ranger Infantry Battalion of St. Louis, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) we are able to issue tax donation receipts for any donations and will have marked envelopes on site that will allow you to record your e-mail address and/or mailing address along with your donation so you will receive your tax-deduction receipt or you can donate online.
What is there to do at WWII Weekend?
There are two main areas of interest at WWII Weekend: the encampment and, about a quarter mile away, the battle field.
There are two battles on Saturday at 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, a dance Saturday night, and a battle on Sunday at 12:00 PM.
In addition to the battles and encampment, Jefferson Barracks is an amazing piece of history (click here to learn more about Jefferson Barracks).
View photos from our 2004 through 2013 WWII Weekend events.
The Encampment
A large educational encampment will display the equipment of all the reenactors. The encampment is located at the west end of Jefferson Barracks County Park just south of the visitor's center.
Weapons and other equipment demonstrations will be held in the camp throughout the weekend.
Modern vehicles are only allowed to enter for unloading and must be cleared out of the area immediately. Modern camping for participants is allowed South of Lee's shelter.
There will be both Allied and Axis camp sites. We have plenty of room for any period correct display. Reenactors are reminded that WWII veterans attend this event and our displays must conform to their memories. If you have a good display that you want to show it off now is the time to educate the public on WWII. There will also be a Military Vehicle Preservation Association display in the camp. Several food concessions will be selling food near the visitor's center. Along with militaria vendors.
The Battlefield
The battlefield will be set-up ahead of time with props such as tank obstacles and wall sections. It is located in the large field across from Grant's Pavilion on the east side of Gregg Rd. The spectator area is well defined and a sheltered area with some chairs is reserved for veterans. An announcer will narrate the battles and the weapons demonstrations. Spectators are allowed onto the battlefield afterward to see where the enemy was defeated. Hearing protection may be a a good idea. The battlefield is about a quarter mile from the encampment and reenactors can march or ride in WWII vehicles back and forth.
The Dance
A WWII Canteen Dance will be held Saturday night. Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery borders the park to the south. Please contact Friends of Jefferson Barracks directly for additional information and tickets at (314) 544-5714; the 2nd Rangers do not sell tickets for the dance.

ASTHMA CONTINUES to be a vexing problem. The 5 reports in this issue of ARCHIVES remind us of that. The complexity of the problem seems to increase everyday. A MEDLINE search using asthma as the subject found more than 3000 published articles in the English language for 1999. How can one make sense of all this information?
To begin with, we need to ask the question, What do we know about asthma in the United States? The burden of asthma continues to rise in the United States.1 While the poor and minorities bear a disproportionate share of the burden,2 no group in society has been untouched by this rise in asthma prevalence. The role of atopy and underlying inflammation are now recognized as vital components of asthma. Both genetic and environmental factors have been shown to have a role in asthma.3 Many theories have been set forth to explain this rise. The asthma increase has been attributed to a change in diet4; the use of less aspirin among children5; exposure early in life to indoor antigens, such as the dust mite,6 or to antibiotics7; or exposure (or lack of exposure) to certain infections.8 None of these theories can explain all the data or offer much to guide us in stopping this increase.

Too few calories (why are you counting anyway if you are following the PB?) and for what you are doing weights wise an hour is too long.
Hey guys,
I'm struggling with an issue and I'm hoping some people here might have some insights. For some details I've been skinny-to-skinnyfat most of my life; I'm a 5'4" male and my 'neutral weight' from about age 13-25 was 110 lbs. I got up to 135 after a super-sedentary year (2 hour commute each way kills your activity level and your diet) and went primal (or at least semi-primal) around the time I finally quit driving half the day.
My roommate has a scale that does the bio-impedance fat reading which I know is inaccurate but I've been mostly using the trend line. What I've noticed is that after I got back to about 120 lbs that ever since as I've lost weight it's been all in the lean mass. At 120 I had 18.4 lbs of fat, now that I'm down to 115 I'm up to 19.2; and the trend line between the two weights is fairly consistent.
Some details on my diet and excercise:
On a typical day I shoot for around 1000 calories; as a typical example my lunch today was a 1 cup serving of Primal Fuel (sometimes made with raw milk instead of water, but not today), and dinner was a 7 oz ribeye steak with a mix of vegetables (lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, tomato, mushrooms) in olive oil & vinegar and then a small snack (usually something like a slice of homemade jerky/pastrami/etc.)
As for excercise I walk about half a mile (each way) to work 3 or 4 days a week and around twice a week do lifts (squats, bench, pendlay rows, deadlift) for about an hour total.
My goal is primarily to get to the point I have muscle definition and just keeping good health, so my intermediate goal in turn was to first cut weight until fat was low and then start building the muscle -- but the concept I'm actually gaining more fat is definitely getting me worried.
Any helpful words or thoughts on what might be going on?
Too few calories (why are you counting anyway if you are following the PB?) and for what you are doing weights wise an hour is too long.
Eating primal is not a diet, it is a way of life.
Don't forget to play!
I'm not micro counting calories, I just track what I eat to look for patterns (e.g. any time I eat certain kinds of sausage I don't feel well the next day; thus cut that from my diet) so I have the numbers available from the tracker. Maintenance for me is around 1200 calories, and it's honestly hard to eat past that anyway for me (I'm just not hungry anymore).
My average gym work out is 5x5 squats, 1x5 deadlifts, and 5x5 rows or bench; is that really too much?
1200 calories maintenance for a male sounds wrong.
I would agree you should look for ways to up your calories. You might be losing a little mass and your body might be trying to hold onto fat.
You need more calories, and to do a lot more low-intensity exercise plus some sprinting. I wouldn't count walking half a mile as exercise.
I also suggest you eat breakfast.
F 5 ft 3. HW: 196 lbs. Primal SW (May 2011): 182 lbs (42% BF)... W June '12: 160 lbs (29% BF) (UK size 12, US size 8). GW: ~24% BF - have ditched the scales til I fit into a pair of UK size 10 bootcut jeans. Currently aligning towards 'The Perfect Health Diet' having swapped some fat for potatoes.
1200 calories maintenance for a male sounds wrong.
If you are new to the PB - please ignore ALL of this stuff, until you've read the book, or at least http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/ and this (personal fave): http://www.archevore.com/get-started/
Also, chuck that stupid bio-impedance scale; what it actually does is measure the conductivity between your legs, which is a function of how hydrated you are and where you store water. If you really have to pee, you'll measure as fatter on that thing. Measure your waist once a month, but honestly, eat more, lift harder, and you'll get stronger. Eating 1000 calories a day, basically one small meal and a shake, and checking the trend line on a fat measuring scale is not going to turn you into a big strong bull of a man, shall we say.

I've been eating around 1200 calories on average since I was probably 15 or so and always felt satisfied and it's exceedingly difficult for me to eat much more. Not a matter of diet, I always just ate what I wanted and stopped when full until recently (current diet is best summarized as 'eat until almost full and avoid the bad stuff'). Same for breakfast, I never wake up hungry in the slightest (for reference I just woke up and the idea of eating right now makes my stomach subtly upset).
I'm not really sure what would count as low intensity exercise more than brisk walking so I'm open to suggestion, and I do sprint here and there but it's not part of 'the schedule' as it were.
Scale isn't mine to chuck, it is my roommates -- I don't own a scale; and as I said I'm mostly concerned with trend line -- I weigh at the same time (9 am, just before I walk to the gym on work out days) and yeah, every so often I get a nutty result (let ankles touch and I'm 3% body fat!) which I toss out. I'm mostly just using my weight as a metric; if I don't get back to my old weight but look the same as I used to I'm fine with that (and frankly I have no idea what my old lean/fat was)
I'm not really concerned with gaining strength; just shedding the fat I gained from being completely sedentary and regaining the light muscle definition I had then (which mostly came from the lack of fat hiding it, by all my understanding).
Anyway, thanks for the thoughts -- I'll try eating a bit more and see if it has any impact. Breakfast will be harder to do but I'll see if I can force anything.

Roger Dugal '89 - Attorney in Private Practice, Educator
"Obtaining a JD has enabled me to do the two things I love most: teach and practice law. My SNESL experience and law practice have enhanced my teaching skills by helping me make my students think more, be better organized and prepared, and present material in a more objective manner. By getting so involved I make use of the things I learned at SNESL: how to organize, analyze and articulate plans that people need."
Sabine Coyne '95 - Assistant District Attorney
"SNESL taught me analytical thinking and gave me confidence as an attorney. The SNESL community has always been so supportive and cohesive."
Joseph Ferreira '92 - Police Chief, Law Firm Associate, Adjunct Professor
"I know that I would not have been the Chief of Police and have had a very successful law practice without SNESL. There is not a day that goes by that I do not employ my legal skills."
Anne Walsh Folino '97 - Director, Law School Academic Resources and Writing Center
"SNESL's SouthCoast presence provided the opportunity for me to attend law school when commuting to Boston with four small children was impossible."
Jacqueline Grasso '93 - Municipal Court Chief Judge, Law Firm Principal, Adjunct Law School Professor, Legal Affairs Show Producer/Host
"As a result of my legal education, I have volunteered my services to low income people, women victims of domestic abuse, business owners, retirees, and the elderly, as well as produced and hosted a 'Legal Matters' public access show providing advice in various areas."
Charles Green, Jr. '05 - Deputy Assistant, Public Defense
"SNESL and its faculty and staff provided not just a top notch law school experience; the law school also provided a sense of pride, caring, accomplishment and togetherness. My career objective was to practice law to help people; currently, as a Deputy Assistant Public Defender I am meeting this objective. In addition, my law school education has fine-tuned my critical reading, legal reasoning and analytical skills, which has in turn made me a better attorney."
Jennifer Harrington '98 - Chief Legal Counsel, Narragansett Bay Commission
"My education at SNESL was a dream come true. I had always wanted to be an attorney, yet I was not looking forward to the prospect of going to school in Boston. So when I visited SNESL it seemed as though it would be a perfect fit, and I was right. By attending a smaller school such as SNESL I was really able to get to know the professors/staff who ultimately referred me to my first two legal positions, those positions helped shape me into the attorney I am today."
"I was able to fulfill a dream without placing myself or my family in permanent debt. SNESL gave me the same or better education as any number of colleagues, yet the debt that they still carry with them even today far exceeds my own, and consequently their career/family choices are hindered due to their debt. By attending SNESL I was able to have the best of both worlds—a career that I am proud of and a family life that I can enjoy. The education I received at SNESL allows me to provide my family with everything they need to hopefully become successful in whatever endeavors life throws their way."
Jernita Hines '05 - Legal Services Staff Attorney
"I took a chance on SNESL because of the staff, location of the school, curriculum, internship opportunities and small class size. SNESL has instilled a drive in me to break down barriers, provided a pathway for hope that was once not there, and upgraded my stature in my community—and I am proud of that."
Barry Lang '93 - Law Firm Principal
"SNESL's focus was practical, which gave me a good basis upon which to hone my skills as a trial lawyer. As a medical doctor, the medical community benefits from my experience as a trial lawyer in lectures I provide hospitals in risk management to reduce medical errors, thereby helping patients, physicians and other healthcare providers."
Linda Layne '95 - Nurse, Retired State Court Legal Research Manager
"I took full advantage of the opportunity to attend a local law school where talented and dedicated educators instilled in me a love of law and fostered a sense of commitment to the legal community. My SNESL experience and education allowed me to work in a challenging legal environment and to meaningfully contribute to the justice system."
Stephen Marshalek '94 - Attorney General, Deputy Regional Chief
"At the time I decided to go to law school I was working full time and a new father. SNESL allowed me the opportunity to obtain my JD by going to school nights and weekends. Without this option available to me, I would not have been able to go to law school."
Shawn Masterson '03 - Law Firm Associate
"SNESL empowered me to set and accomplish a lifelong goal. SNESL provided me not only the tools and skills to become a good lawyer, but also taught me to respect the law. It is the understanding of the power of the law that has helped guide me in giving back to the community."
Kris Oliveira '94 - Corporate Vice President and Senior Risk Manager
"My SNESL education first and foremost promoted a love of the study of law because the faculty and administration always, literally, had an open door policy. They challenged the students and themselves, and encouraged the entire SNESL community to strive for balance between school, family and work."
David Omiunu '00 - Assistant District Attorney
"As a student from Nigeria, Southern New England School of Law provided me with the opportunity to achieve my dream of becoming an attorney and an Assistant District Attorney. This would not be possible without the incredible effort of the faculty members who gave unselfishly to create such a positive and supportive educational environment."
Rosa Previdi '96 - Legal Services Executive Director
"I had great professors who gave me a solid academic background. As the result of this academic background and training, I became a successful legal services attorney and eventually the executive director of a legal services hotline located in Boston. My first contact with the legal services community was through a summer internship coordinated by SNESL."
Clark Whaley '00 - Federal Law Enforcement Agency Intelligence Analyst
"It is unusual to love what you do, but that is exactly what SNESL did for me. SNESL gave me the legal foundation and confidence to pursue and obtain a fulfilling and exciting career."

While the basic technology behind 3D printing has been around for decades, recent hype and coverage has recast a spotlight on the industry. Over the last few years, incumbent and emerging vendors have been rapidly developing 3D printers, each more productive than the last, with an ever expanding variety of printable materials and possible use cases.
Outside of consumer hobbyists, 3D printing will have the greatest impact on businesses that design and manufacture discrete products, introducing rapid prototyping to speed up development cycles and an alternative production method for customized finished objects.
What does this mean for CIOs and technology management departments?
As the resident technology expert, you may be called upon to evaluate the hardware and feasibility of 3D printing for your business. Beyond assessment, businesses may demand:

Chinese manufacturers are repositioning. They're willing to invest more in improving their core competencies, like R&D and design capabilities, by using outsourcing providers that have successfully served foreign peer companies in the same industry. They must dedicate all their resources — including internal IT systems and solutions like ERP — to meeting this goal.
We recently published a case study on Tagal, a joint venture of ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe and Angang Steel in China. The company was finding it difficult to face up to new business challenges; not only was its infrastructure aging, but its original outsourcing services agreement was constraining business development.
To solve these problems, Tagal changed its sourcing strategy and successfully migrated its ERP system to an Itanium x86 platform to accelerate business processes. The resulting ERP efficiencies enabled employees to process orders and reports twice as fast as before. This has improved Tagal's relationships with its customers, which are some of the world's largest automakers. Tagal also reduced its total cost of ownership by 20% in the first nine months alone, primarily due to the simplified sourcing strategy.
How did Tagal achieve these tangible outcomes? It redesigned its service contract and employed three key principles when re-evaluating vendors:
