Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
The world's most famous golfer, Tiger Woods, readies himself at the 18th tee at Pebble Beach. The sun's oppressive heat batters down across the whole of the course as it has done so all afternoon and the watching crowd are silent in anticipation. The golfing magician takes a moment to judge the direction of the wind, try a few practice swings. Finally, he stands adjacent to the ball and settles himself ready to do what he does best. The course is quiet but for a couple of tweeting birds and the slight breeze. Tiger begins to raise his club slowly, carefully... but suddenly flings it forward as if struck by an uncontrollable spasm in his forearm, striking the ball terribly and watching it fly approximately 50 yards onto a dirty great patch of rough ground. Oh dear, Eldrick. What happened?
Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf 2007 is the first time that Nintendo Wii owners have been able to play golf 'proper' on their machines. Wii Sports' golf was a deliberately no-frills affair and with EA being the videogaming Daddy's in a lot of sporting simulation, you'd expect no less than a satisfying and thorough experience. Thorough it is, but whether it's satisfying is another question entirely. Promotional trailers show real life golfers marvelling at the innovation and responsiveness of the Wii Remote replicating on-screen the gesture of swinging a golf club, but behind the perfect world of advertising are a number of control issues that, for a while, threaten to ruin the whole experience.
First is a problem that occasionally cropped up in Wii Sports golf, too. Unless you're careful about 'resetting' the position of the Wii Remote prior to a swing, the resulting thwack might occur prematurely and completely out of your control. Whilst this might not be a problem if by some fluke you happen to be just about the right predetermined distance from the pin, when the upset rears its ugly head at the tail end of an important, pant-wettingly tense round of golf, no one, least of all EA, will be there to appreciate the extent of your anger.
Another in-game oddity that only aids to confuse golf's most crucial element (that's swinging the club if you hadn't already guessed) is the fact that your real life arm movements aren't directly related to the on-screen character. This means that even at the times when a half swing would generate more than enough power to knock the little white ball towards the area where you want it to land, your character will still wind the club up to an area above and behind his or her head, looking like he/she is preparing to strike the ball through the window of a pretty house that sits precariously behind the green.
This niggle makes putting in particular a bit of a nightmare. To help the ball travel a long distance along the perfectly smooth surface of the green, the game recommends that you draw your arms back just far as you would for a full swing, even though the correct technique (and common sense approach) to putting dictates that any such gesture is a foolhardy way of doing things, pure and simple. To help slightly, an indication of the power behind your swing is displayed as a percentage of the potential distance that the club is capable of thwacking your ball at full capacity, but needless to say, the action still feels awkward and forces you to rely on guesswork rather than any real element of skill.
And other than the stupid 'hold a D-pad directional button and shake the Wii remote' feature to add spin to the ball as it soars, the control method works just fine. In fact, those willing to persevere with the frustrations that the title will inevitably throw their way every now and again will find Tiger Woods everything and more they'd expect the Wii version to bring them. If not always as reliable, the swinging action of the Wii remote is certainly more engaging than the tugging back and forth of the analogue stick, that's for sure.
If the sound of all that hasn't put you off, its likely that you'll enjoy what the rest of what Tiger Woods has to offer. There are a full 18 courses to master in a number of modes. The most familiar is Tiger Challenge in which the aim is to work your way up through the ranks (competing in a number of challenges) towards golfing supremecy until you are worthy enough to take on Mr. Woods himself. Thanks to the comprehensive body-tweaking options of the Game Face mode, you, yourself, can be that person. Alternatively you could slave away to model a character looking like they hit every branch of the ugly tree on their way down to Earth. Unfortunately, ghoulish faces don't upset the opposition, but they definitely make any round of golf (let's face it, not the most exciting of sports every second of the way along) that bit more entertaining.
The other main mode is the PGA Tour in which challenging the world, earning megabucks and honing your skills is the name of the game. Throw in a plethora of multiplayer games including battle golf, T-I-G-E-R and the devilish one-ball (players use one ball between them, must hit it at least half the remaining distance to the pin to avoid forfeiting a turn, but must somehow play so that sinking a putt is achievable when their shot comes around). It's an EA game with yearly updates and the huge wealth of options that players now expect from the franchise, so you're not likely to be disappointed on that front.
Aesthetically, the title is a bit of a mixed bag. The character models, particularly their faces, are nicely detailed and smoothly animated, demonstrating plentiful (often over the top it has to be said) levels of both positive and negative emotion depending on how the events surrounding the preceding hole have unfolded. Sadly, the same can't be said for the game's environments, in particular the background scenery. Trees almost look 2D when you're standing in front of their low-resolution blocky-ness and certain animals seen grazing under the cover of coppice surroundings are cardboard cut outs with about four frames of animation each. And if there's anything else that's going to spoil what is supposed to be an immersive round of golf, it's likely to be the visible joins between chunks of the sky. It's like something out of The Truman Show, except unlike Truman Burbank it won't take you nearly thirty years of your life to realise that something really doesn't look quite as it should.
When all is said and done in regards to Tiger Woods' first outing on the Wii, it's obvious that the control method is going to be the main focus of attention. And while the title's misgivings are obstacles that anyone interested enough in the sport will learn over time to overcome, as a beacon towards accessibility to gaming for non-games players, they'll no doubt serve to hinder rather than endear their experiences. You can of course plug in the nunchuck attachment to participate via traditional means, but that would only serve to defeat the object of buying Tiger Woods for Wii in the first place and not the same game on any of the other formats. Undoubtedly next year's edition will be tweaked to iron out any of this season's problems, but for now Tiger Woods' offering on Nintendo's little white box of tricks is decidedly under par.

UCSB Senior named Soros Fellow
Santa Barbara, Calif. -- Arpit Malaviya has achieved the distinct honor of being selected as a 2004 Soros Fellow. Mr. Malaviya will receive an annual maintenance grant of $20,000 and a tuition grant of one-half the tuition cost of the U.S. graduate program he attends. The purpose of The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans are to provide opportunities for continuing generations of able and accomplished New Americans to achieve leadership in their chosen fields. Dean Matthew Tirrell of UCSB's College of Engineering stated "We are proud of the accomplishments of Arpit Malaviya and very pleased that he has received this highly competitive recognition."
The abilities and qualities that Arpit demonstrated in the selection process included: creativity, originality, initiative; a capacity for accomplishment; and a commitment to the values expressed in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He is a senior at UCSB where he has a 3.98 cumulative GPA and is ranked first in a class of 64 students majoring in Electrical Engineering. Arpit will begin his graduate studies (MS/PhD) in Electrical Engineering in the fall of 2004. He commented, "I am honored to have been awarded the Soros Fellowship. I would like to thank Prof. Rodwell and Prof. Mishra for the invaluable help and guidance they have offered me. I would also like to thank my wife and family for their unwavering support and encouragement."
Now 28, Arpit was born and raised in Kanpur, India. He immigrated to the United States for better opportunities when he was 22. He worked for two years as an Assistant Manager for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, based in Miami. In February of 2000, Arpit began studies in Electrical Engineering at Moorpark College in Southern California
At Moorpark, Arpit maintained a 4.0 GPA and won the Jonnah Laroche award for academic excellence among students at California's 109 community colleges. He was also awarded the Caltech/JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) Undergraduate Scholar Award, a University of California Regents Scholarship, and the prestigious Barry M. Goldwater scholarship. In addition, his research proposal on solid-acid fuel cells won him the Caltech Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship in 2002 and the opportunity to work for a professor at Caltech. Arpit presented his research findings in a lecture at Caltech and his paper has been published as the feature article in the fall 2003 issue of California Engineer.
Since 2002, Mr. Malaviya has been at UCSB, where he has continued to excel academically. He has also worked on analog integrated circuits as a research assistant for a professor in the Electrical Engineering department. In graduate school, his research focus will be on high-speed analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. He is particularly interested in emerging applications of circuit design that transcend the confines of the field and have the potential to benefit society.
Fascinated by the notion of volunteerism in American values, Arpit has spent over 350 hours tutoring underprivileged students in math and engineering and 200 hours organizing need-based scholarship fund-raising events. He also established and served in a UCSB volunteer program with an organization that feeds the homeless. For his ongoing commitment to community service, he was awarded the Presidential Student Service Award by President Bush and a Certificate of Commendation by Governor Davis.

The king declared, "Don't let the dream and its meaning scare you, Belteshazzar."
Then Belteshazzar answered, "Sir, I wish the dream to be for those who hate you and its meaning to be for your enemies!
Daniel 4:19Daniel has every reason under the sun to not be for Nebuchadnezzar. However when he is given the interpretations of this dream his response seems to be filled with love and care for this king. A king who not only worships a different god but has renamed Daniel with that god's name. It seems Daniel has more than insight into his dream, but sees the greatness inside of his king. A few years ago there was a popular bracelet circulating in the Christan community. WWJD what would Jesus do? The idea being that you would see this bracelet, and remember to act the way you would think Jesus would act. I'm not sure if it worked or not. I think today with global concerns, our political climate, and economic worries maybe the question we should be asking ourselves is "what would Daniel do?". No, I am not trying to be political. You did not hear me say anything about how we would vote. I am saying that maybe we should take a hint from Daniel and believe the best in people. In our country. In our economy. In our world. When we open our mouth to speak about such things are we speaking life or death? If we are the prophets of our own lives, and if we are the sons and daughters of God, made to bring hope and life and light to the earth than what are our words bringing? Are we cultivating honor respect and love? Are we like Daniel, sad when thing happen to people different than ourselves? Are we compassionate to those who don't worship our God? Because the truth is people do not care about what you believe until they believe that you care. The love of God sees the greatness in all of us. Do you find it easier to agree with the negative things going on in your daily life or to speak hope? Lord, Thank you for your goodness. Allow us to have eyes to see your goodness in all of your creation. Amen

Parise, Kovalchuk, DeBoer excited about making first trip to Stanley Cup Finals
Zach Parise still remembers it vividly.
It was his draft day – June 21, 2003 in Nashville, just 12 days after the Devils won their last Stanley Cup.
The Devils traded up to select Parise 17th overall that day and a few hours later he learned what the organization is all about.
"After the draft, we went down and they had the Stanley Cup there, and all the scouts and everyone was
having a big party," Parise recalled after the Devils' 3-2 overtime victory over the Rangers tonight put them in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Los Angeles Kings. "You get the sense that you were going into something pretty special. Unfortunately, we didn't have great playoff success since then, but you're playing for an organization that takes a lot of pride in winning and doing the right things and playing the right way.
"They do a great job of building a team, a team that works and a team that's tough to play against. It might have taken a little while. All of a sudden you play seven, eight years, and you haven't made it past the second round, but it's definitely worth it. It was worth the wait to get here."
Parise, 27, is one of 15 players who played in tonight's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals that will be making their first Stanley Cup Finals appearance.
Also playing in his first Finals will be right wing Ilya Kovalchuk, who was traded to the Devils from Atlanta on Feb. 4, 2010 and then re-signed with the team the following summer with this in mind.
"It means a lot," Kovalchuk said. "It's a great feeling and we feel good. Last year was a tough one, but this year was totally different. We played well all year long and we've played good in the playoffs. The first round was a little tough, but then we figured out our game and what it takes to win and we were good.
"We're going to face a good team. They surprised a lot of people, but they deserved to be there as well. It will be a good battle."
Without even being asked about it, Kovalchuk acknowledged the odd coincidence that the Devils will face the Los Angeles Kings in the Finals. The Kings were the other team that pursued Kovalchuk heavily when he became an unrestricted free agent two summers ago.
"It's actually a little weird that the two teams that I was to choose from are going to face (each other) in the Finals, but I'm pretty sure I made the right decision and I can't wait to play those games," Kovalchuk said.
Kovalchuk sees facing the Kings in the Finals as "just another challenge for me."
"I like that," he said. "My career, it's always get me to those challenges. I just need to play as hard as I can and the best team is going to win."
Kovalchuk said he'll have no extra motivation to beat the Kings, though.
"When you play in the Stanley Cup Finals, I don't think you really need extra motivation," he said.
The fans in Los Angeles booed Kovalchuk in his two visits to Staples Center since he opted not to sign with the Kings and stay with the Devils. Will they give him the same treatment during the Finals?
"I don't really care how they're going to be," Kovalchuk said. "We've got the home-ice advantage and we're got to use that to our advantage."
In addition to the players, head coach Pete DeBoer will also be making his first Stanley Cup Finals appearance.
He noted that he was out of work at this time last year. He had been fired by the Florida Panthers after last season and wasn't hired until July 19.
DeBoer, 43, was grateful to general manager Lou Lamoriello for giving him this chance.
"I was out of work last June and July and got a call from a Hall of Fame general manager who recognized some of the work I had done in Florida and gave me a chance to work with a group of guys that have a great blend of veteran presence and Stanley Cup rings," DeBoer said. "They know how to win and a lot of great young players coming through. So, I'm fortunate to be sitting here. It could have been a number of
different candidates that he talked to, and I'm thankful that I got the opportunity."
Although the Devils are still looking for four more wins to capture the fourth Stanley Cup in team history, but DeBoer said this is a moment to enjoy, too.
"It doesn't matter whether it's your first year or your fifth year," DeBoer said. "We talked after the game. Dainius Zubrus is a great example. He went to the Cup Final in his first year in the league (in 1997 with Philadelphia, and you're 10, 12, 15 years later, and he's getting a second opportunity. So, you don't get picky when these opportunities come along. You enjoy every minute of it, as much as you can, because it's awful tough to get here."
The reactions of other Devils about reaching the Stanley Cup Finals:
David Clarkson (first Finals): "That's a great, great feeling. It's the best thing I've ever done in my career. Now, we've got to continue to keep going. ..This is the farthest I've ever been and to have that feeling and for the Devils' organization to be back where we belong is a great feeling. As a kid you dream of playing in the NHL. You pretend your in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals when you're little and to be here and it coming true is a pretty special feeling."
Adam Henrique (first Finals): "Well, there's still more things to accomplish. I try to take in as much as I can this whole year. And obviously those are two huge goals and then probably two of the biggest goals I ever scored. There's still more ahead. We're not done yet. We haven't really won anything. It's a long ride. And this is -- every kid dreams of playing in the Stanley Cup Final. And we have a chance to win. I'm excited. I'm ready to get started."
Patrik Elias (fourth Finals): "It's pretty amazing. You forget after a while how great it feels to have the opportunity to play for the Cup, so, again, tough game. We hung in there. Up and down hockey game for us, but this is a great feeling and we're going to enjoy it for the moment right now."
Stephen Gionta (first Finals): "It's unbelievable. I can't describe it any other way. Just goose bumps when you think about it. It's just awesome."
Alexei Ponikarovsky (first Finals): "It's just a blessing. It's one of the things you got traded and I knew the history of the team. I knew what kind of team they had and what they've been through and the Cups they won. When I got here (from Carolina), it was a great atmosphere in the room. We started rolling pretty good and we played pretty well for the rest of the season and got into the playoffs and here we are. It's a journey, but it's a great journey. You look across the room and everybody's accountable. It's just an incredible feeling for the room."

To say that Emilie Autumn has a flair for the dramatic only hints at the intensity that bursts through her songs. She often embodies the full emotional spectrum within mere minutes.
Her latest album, "Fight Like a Girl," is based on her autobiographical illustrated novel, "The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls," which contrasts her experiences in a psychiatric hospital with those of Emily, her alter ego trapped in a Victorian-era insane asylum.
Autumn mines dark territory with blunt strokes of brash yet effective poetry. "Revenge is a dish that is best served now," she declares on "Time for Tea." On the title track she proclaims, "I fight like a girl / I'll get my revenge on the world or at least 49 percent of the people in it," lest we wonder where her anger is directed.
The more chilling moments come as she wrestles with the severe depression that has imprisoned her. "Just because we live, doesn't mean we're alive," she sings softly on "One Foot in Front of the Other." On the eerie round "Goodnight, Sweet Ladies," she bids farewell as Emily to all the girls in the asylum who have taken their lives. The circular melody builds with beautiful counterpoint to a catharsis.
Above its high concept, "Fight Like a Girl" is musically solid, featuring some of Autumn's most intricate melodies to date. They grip tightly, burrow deep and never let go.

You can make the pastry case for the tart up to 24 hours in advance, but if you're short of time use shop-bought pastry or a ready-made pastry case instead.
- a little egg wash, for brushing
- 150 ml cream
- 150 ml milk
- 2 tblsp sweet chilli sauce
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tblsp finely snipped fresh chives
- 200 g smoked salmon (cut into strips)
- 200 g white crab meat
- 100 g freshly grated parmesan
- for the pastry:
- 225 g plain flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 100 g chilled butter
- pinch dried chilli flakes
- 3 tblsp ice-cold water
- for the sauce:
- 300 ml cream
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 50 g butter (diced)
- 1 tblsp finely snipped chives
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- crisp garden salad, to serve
- You can make the pastry case for the tart up to 24 hours in advance, but if you're short of time use shop-bought pastry or a ready-made pastry case instead. I often make double the quantity of pastry and make two pastry cases. Shove one in the freezer and then you can just defrost as needed. If you find you've any pastry leftover use to make baby quiches or cheese straws.
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). To make the pastry, place the flour, butter and chilli flakes in a food processor. Add half a teaspoon of salt and whizz briefly until the mixture forms fine crumbs. Pour in the water through the feeder tube and pulse again so that the pastry comes together. Knead lightly on a lightly floured surface for a few seconds to give a smooth dough. Wrap in clingfim and chill for at least 10 minutes before rolling (or up to an hour if time allows).
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a loose-bottomed 21cm (8.5 inch) fluted flan tin that is about 4cm (1.5 inches) deep. Use a rolling pin to lift the pastry into the tin, pressing well into sides and letting the pastry overhang a little as this prevents shrinkage. Chill for another 10 minutes for the pastry to rest.
- Prick the pastry base with a fork, then line with a circle of oiled foil or non-stick parchment paper that is first crumpled up to make it easier to handle. Fill with baking beans or dried pulses and bake for 10 minutes until the pastry case looks 'set', but not coloured. Carefully remove the foil or paper and lower the temperature to 160°C (325°F/Gas 3), then brush with the egg wash to form a seal. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until the base is firm to the touch and the sides are lightly coloured.
- Beat together the cream in a bowl with the milk, chilli sauce, eggs and egg yolks until well combined. Stir in the chives and season to taste. Scatter the smoked salmon and crabmeat in the bottom of the pastry case and sprinkle the Parmesan on top, then pour in the cream mixture and bake for about 25 minutes until the filling is just set but still slightly wobbly in the middle. Leave to rest for 5 minutes in the tin, then remove and carefully trim down the excess pastry, working the knife away from you and the tart.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Warm the cream over a gentle heat until just coming to the boil. Add the lemon zest and juice and Dijon mustard and simmer gently for about 5 minutes until thickened slightly. Whisk in the butter until completely melted and the sauce has thickened further. Season to taste and keep warm. Stir in the chives last minute when ready to serve.
- To serve, carefully cut the smoked salmon and crab tart into slices. Arrange on plates and drizzle a little of the sauce around. Serve with the crisp garden salad.

Bottle hunters know that a rural farmstead's dump and outhouse sites are prime locations for digging up a wealth of old bottles. The rural family used a wide variety of bottled products in the course of their daily activities. In a society where daily bathing and use of deodorant did not become standard practice until well into the 20th century, males, as well as females, used cologne or toilet water. It often was stored on bedroom bureaus or washstands in art-glass and paint-decorated bottles similar to those found in the barbershop.
Rural America relied heavily on bitters and other types of patent medicines to fight illness and provide relief from a host of aches and pains. Bitters, often sold as a universal cure-all, were made from natural herbs and other ingredients usually mixed with a base that had a high alcohol content. Anyone could apply for a medicine patent, the first such patent being issued by the United States Patent Office in 1796. The only criterion was that the concoction not be poisonous.
Bitters and patent medicines were sold at the general store, through newspaper and magazine advertisements, and by "medicine show" barkers. Bitter and patent-medicine almanac advertisements, broadsides and trade cards make a wonderful secondary collection.
For more information on the Paradise bottle, click here, and here for the medicine bottle.
Manufacturers used a wide variety of bottle colors, shapes and sizes to attract customers to their brand of bitters or patent medicine. Many bottles had the name of the "medicine" and/or manufacturer either impressed or in relief on their surface. Most were manufactured at glass plants in western Pennsylvania and Ohio.
In 1907, the Pure Food and Drug Act required all medicines contain a label that accurately described the medicine's contents. This ended the bitters and patent-medicine era. It also led to the era of established regional and national medicine brands, the bottles of which are highly collectible. Further, many of these medicines were sold in boxes with elaborate calligraphy and artwork.
This dental preparation bottle can be found on GoAntiques.
Poison was used extensively in rural America for rodent control and other reasons. Manufacturers used shape (coffin), symbols (skull and crossbones) and raised letters (POISON) to identify poison bottles and prevent the accidental intake or misuse of their contents. John Howell of Newton, N.J., developed the first safety closure in 1866. It was not until the 1930s that the concept became popular.
This antique bottle comes without the poison.
Whiskey warmed the soul and also was used for medicinal purposes. The earliest whiskey bottles were hand blown or molded. The Biningers produced the first commercially manufactured whiskey bottles in the 1820s. By the 1860s, distillers utilized the cylindrical fifth shape.
The 1860s' E. G. Booz Old Cabin Whiskey amber bottle was the first embossed brand-name bottle. Folklore attributes the "booz" designation for whiskey to this bottle. Not true. "Booze" is a corruption of the 16th– and 17th–century words "bouse" and "boosy." It was mere coincidence that a Philadelphia manufacturer named Booz used the first embossed whiskey bottle. Beware, the E. G. Booz bottle has been reproduced more than a dozen times.
Click here for details on the Huntsman bottle. Learn more about the clown flask by clicking here.
Barber, medicine, poison and whiskey bottles are only the tip of the iceberg relative to the use of bottles in rural America. Ink and mineral (soda) bottles are other possible collecting categories. Always emphasize condition. Do not buy bottles that are clouded or have other problems. Study the market before buying. Bottles that are scarce in one region may be plentiful in another. Beware of paying too much for commonly available examples.

All bottles are empty! and have no tops.
Would anyone have an idea of the value?
Have 3 pinched waisted rectangular case bottles, 11″, 9″, 7″ tall. They are unusual and quite beautiful. Do you have any articles on this kind of bottle? Am trying to find out the value – just paid for a Worthpoint evaluation. Also have a green and clear overlay glass bottle with stopper and starburst in bottom.
These aren't really old but I hate to throw them out and don't know what to do with them. I have a set of 9 Flags cologne bottles from the late 60's. They are empty and I have the box they came with. Any suggestions on who might want them? I doubt they are worth much now but probably will be sometime in the future.
i am a big bottle colector and would love to have any bottles that you dont want anymore please contact me via e-mail so we can arange something thanks alot james
I have a green whiskey bottle with gold faded lettering that says old ironsides with ship in center. In the back it has embosed letters that says don't give up the ship with anchor in the center. Can anyone tell me if it means anything?

I am aware that there are other transcriptions of this classic Jaco solo on the net, but here is my take on it...
Havona is a song from the 1977 Weather Report album called Heavy Weather.
Jaco was at his peak then, and his solo on the song Havona is a display of his mastery of the fretless bass. Back in the early 90's, I was very much into Jaco, and I spent many hours learning his bass lines and solos. This one, I transcribed back then, and re-transcribed digitally this week.

Sussex becomes fourth paramedic service in region
Village of Sussex - A full time, locally based, paramedic level emergency medical service will be available to village residents as soon as it is approved by a Waukesha Memorial Hospital medical director.
Fire Chief Corky Curtis said Dr. Mark Schultz of Waukesha Memorial Hospital, who will serve as medical director for the fire department's paramedic program, is making a final review of all paramedic personnel in the department to make sure they are qualified to the standard he wants to attain.
The state has approved the village's application for a paramedic service license and the Village Board gave final approval last week to elevate the village's emergency medical service from Emergency Medical Technicians IV Tech to Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) paramedic.
The paramedic level service will be available to village resident 24/7. The program will be primarily staffed by paid, on-call volunteers who are trained as both firefighters and paramedics. Of the departments approximately 50 volunteers, 20 are trained as paramedics, according to the chief.
Paramedics are trained and licensed to perform a higher level of emergency medical care, particularly in the case of cardiac arrests, than nonparamedic EMTs.
"The treatment provided by a paramedic is often an extension of the level of treatment that the patient would be receiving if they were in the emergency room. Paramedic care can often result in treatment beginning sooner for the patient which can reduce the amount of time of the hospital stay," Curtis added.
The village has provided paramedic care since 2006 through a municipal agreement. Initially, the agreement enabled Sussex paramedics to perform emergency medical care under the auspices of a paramedic service license issued to the City of Delafield Fire Department. The license was later transferred to Lake County Fire and Rescue when the Delafield department was consolidated with the Lake County Fire Department.
The cost for the village to operate under the Lake Country Fire and Rescue license ranged from $200 to $400 per call.
Because the village has paramedic trained personnel as well as paramedic-equipped ambulances, the cost to convert to a village-licensed program is relatively inexpensive, Curtis explained.
Costs have been further reduced, he explained, because the paramedics, and not the village, paid for their training.
Sussex becomes the fourth fire department in Lake Country to provide paramedic services. The other departments are Lake Country Fire and Rescue, the Town of Lisbon, and Pewaukee.
Curtis was asked if four paramedic services were too many.
"From a taxpayer's point of view, you might say yes. But the person who is suffering from a heart attack and needs that level of care may not think so," he responded.

Each month, my business column will offer insight into a career topic specific to women in the workplace. The name of this monthly feature is, Career Talk For Women.
This feature is geared toward any woman who actively strives for higher levels of professional fulfillment, and the men who care about them. It's no secret that the world needs more women who are shamelessly confident in their ability to serve as role models and change agents. Our region is no exception. This month, I will focus upon the tone of the internal conversations we have with ourselves in the midst of life's professional and personal challenges.
Recently, I was talking with some women I had just met during my child's holiday classroom party. Like them, I was there to volunteer as a parent helper and in the midst of preparing for our craft activity, we began to engage in typical first-time, "nice to meet you" dialogue. When we got past our initial introductions, the topic of our careers came up. As we were telling each other about our jobs outside of the home, an interesting question came up. One of the mothers I just met simply asked the rest of us, "So do you think it is really possible to have it all as a working mother?" At the surface, this was such a simple question. As I contemplated it over the next several days, I realized just how complicated the answer really is.

As women in today's society, you and I have the freedom to make choices about how we live our lives. For example, we can choose to work outside of the home or be a stay-at-home mother. We can choose to live the single life or marry our life partner. However, if we're honest with ourselves, many of us are perpetually unhappy. In fact, according to the American Psychological Association, American women are more than twice as likely to suffer from depression than men. Why are so many of us unhappy?
After contemplating this very question for several days, and reflecting upon my own internal conversations as well as those with female clients I've coached or female colleagues I've worked with over the years, I am going to suggest an answer. Despite our differing family situations, the stresses of life that we as women experience related to work and home responsibilities are different than men. From a very young age, we are raised to act in a way that makes others happy - often at the sake of our own happiness. We are given princess tiaras to dress up in and are read fairy tales laden with messages reinforcing superficial beauty in the hopes of attracting our perfect prince charming so we can live happily ever after. We are groomed to expect that we can have and do it all. We are constantly told what we "should" or "shouldn't" say, do or think. As adults, when we stumble and can't juggle the management of our careers and home life very well - and always look amazingly put together at the same time - we beat ourselves up for not being able to achieve everything we "should."
What "shoulds" do you live by? Regardless of what's on your personal "should" and "should not" list, do you realize what such lists are doing to you on the inside? Of course, these lists typically manifest themselves through moments of self-correction or punishment in the form of thoughts going through our minds when we have failed to do something perfectly. Our unrealistic expectations for perfection and our attempts to have it all are perpetuated by the harsh voice in our own heads. Listen to your old voice that has been stuck on replay, and find a new one for 2014. Practice replacing "I should" with "I want." Stop doing what you don't want to, but think you should and accept yourself and your unique capabilities.
You see, everyone wins when you take that step to find your new voice and practice embracing what brings you true joy. As a woman in the pursuit of eternal happiness through perfection, everyone loses. We lose the gift of embracing new perspectives that come from our own mistakes, those we're closest to lose out on carefree interactions with us, and our children lose hope for experiencing contentment and fulfillment in their own lives.
Happy New Year. Happy New You.

This St. Patrick's Day is an unlucky one for those that hate snow, with record-breaking accumulations occurring Monday morning.
Residents of South Jersey have seen a lot of snow this year, according to meteorologist Valerie Meola of the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, with this being the second worst winter in Philadelphia history. Approximately 18 snow events have occurred this season, Meola said.
"I can't wait for spring to get here," said Nicole Olsen from Vineland. "I'm ready for grass and leaves and flowers and not this mess."
Spring begins on March 20 but the region is still being besieged by snow. Even with spring around the corner, according to Meola, the region still saw four-to-seven inches fall early Monday morning.
"It's not something we typically see, but it can happen," Meola said.
For the record-breaking holiday, the National Weather Service measured 4.7 inches of snow at Philadelphia International Airport on Monday, beating St. Patrick's Day's 1892 record of 3.5 inches.
Over at the airport in New Castle, Del., the previous record of snow is 2.4 inches in 1965. This year's snow, according to Meola, just beat it with 2.5 inches recorded on Monday at the airport.
"It's very cold, I'm tired of the snow and it messes with my child's education," said Jimmy Pierce of Millville.
Pierce shovels snow for people in the area.
"All of my customers that I shovel snow for also hate snow," he said. "They're tired of seeing it. They want spring."
To combat the accumulation, Salem County started plowing the roads around 4 a.m. this morning.
"We've been working at it all day — a lot of salt and pushing back slush," said Jeff Ridgway, director of public works.
Because of the weather over the weekend, according to Ridgway, the ground was warm and able to melt the snow as it began to accumulate.
There is enough salt in the county's stockpile to treat the roads, Ridgway explained, but the level of salt is less than desired.
"Mother Nature could throw us a curveball, so we're hoping this is it," he said.
Gloucester County started its plows early this morning as well, according to Freeholder Heather Simmons, with 700 tons of salt used on the roads. This is compared to the usual 1,300-to-1,600 tons of salt used on the roads during a normal snowstorm.
"The primary concern is the safety of the traveling public and we'll continue to do what we need to do to make sure the roads are clear and passable," Simmons said.
The county saw approximately three inches of accumulation, Simmons said, and the warm ground helped keep the roads from freezing up too much
Although the roads were cleared by Monday afternoon, some will continue to be monitored throughout the night.
"We're pretty aware where the roads may be vulnerable to ice," Simmons said.
Even more snow is possible, according to Meola, with late-March and early-April snowstorms not unheard of.
This week, Meola said, a system is moving into the area on Wednesday that may begin to fall as snow before quickly turning into rain with the warm weather.
Snow has also been bad for businesses, including Bogart's Book Store and Cafe in Millville.
According to owner Amy Lombardo, the cold weather has been keeping people inside and away from her warm coffee.
"It has been a lot slower during the days that it snows, however, we do come in and we do open every single day because we have a handful of the local community that stops in for coffee, a paper or a book," she said.
"Even though we know we're not going to be busy, we still come in."
She hears her customers complain about this season but tries not to get the winter blues herself.
"You just have to wait it out is all," Lombardo said. "It will balance itself out and then we'll be complaining it's too hot soon enough."

Holy Week, Part 2: How Easter Killed My Faith in Atheism
(Centennial Fellow) It was the worst news I could get as an atheist: my agnostic wife had decided to become a Christian. Two words shot through my mind. The first was an expletive; the second was "divorce." I thought she was going to turn into a self–righteous holy roller. But over the following months, I was intrigued by the positive changes in her character and values.

In 2004, Don Nelson bought 10 ISBNs – International Standard Book Numbers – so he could write and self-publish books on Portland-area history.
Ten years later, he only has two left.
"I didn't ever think I'd get this far," said the 59-year old Northeast Portland native who now lives in Bethany.
Nelson's first six books tackled Portland history, but his last two delve into the Bethany community and its past.
The author will introduce his latest book, "Bethany: A Community in Transition" at Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing in Beaverton at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 6.
The 120-page book (paperback, but just the right size for a coffee table) is filled with black-and-white photos ranging from the 1870s, when Swiss immigrants settled in the area, to today.
There are nearly as many modern-day photos of the Bethany landscape as old ones, making it easy to see how much the area has changed.
Nelson attributed the wealth of photos and information in the book to helpful community members.
"It takes a village to make a history," he said.

Corn leaf aphids can be common in Iowa corn, but they rarely cause significant economic losses. They prefer sorghum as a host plant, but will also feed on corn, barley, millet and many grasses. Although infestations become apparent when tassels emerge, colonies can start to develop in late June.
Description and life cycle. Corn leaf aphids are bluish-green in color with dark legs and cornicles (tailpipes at the end of the abdomen), and usually less than one-eighth inch in length. Like all aphids, they have a piercing-sucking mouthpart that feeds on plant phloem. Corn leaf aphids excrete a sugar-rich honeydew that can cover corn leaves, tassels and silks.
Corn leaf aphids and cast skins from molting.
The corn leaf aphid is not known to overwinter in Iowa, but migrates on airstreams each season. Females give live birth to nymphs via asexual reproduction during the summer. Wingless forms are more common, however, migratory winged forms are produced during crowded conditions.
Heavy corn leaf aphid infestation.
Damage. Feeding by large aphid colonies can reduce yields significantly. Aphids feed on upper leaves, in the whorl or on unemerged tassels. Heavy corn leaf aphid infestations may cause leaves to curl, wilt and become yellow. Tassels and silks can become covered with honeydew. Aphid colonies can slowly kill the tassel and top leaves of a corn plant. The plant responds by shunting nutrients to the feeding area and not to the developing ear, resulting in stunted ears or even barren plants. The most severe damage occurs between the late-whorl and pollination stages.
Scouting and management. Scouting for corn leaf aphids must be done before tasseling - ideally three weeks before. Developing colonies are most commonly found deep within the whorl. Stop at five locations and examine twenty plants. Carefully pull the whorl leaves away from the stalk and unroll the leaves to estimate the number of aphids. Closer to tasseling, aphids move from within the whorl and are very exposed to weather and natural enemies. Take note of beneficial insects (e.g., ladybeetles and lacewings) and/or parasitized mummies; consider not treating aphids if more than 20 percent are parasitized.
Spraying for corn leaf aphids while they are protected deep in the whorl is not effective. Treating for corn leaf aphids after tasseling is usually not a cost-effective management decision because aphid populations will decline naturally. A well-timed spray while aphids are outside the whorl or on the tassel is recommended when they exceed thresholds. Corn fields can be particularly sensitive to corn leaf aphid feeding if they are drought-stressed. If 50 percent of the plants have more than 100 aphids per plant, tassels are coated in honeydew and plants are under drought stress, treatment may be justified. There are several products registered in Iowa for corn leaf aphid (Table 1). Follow label directions and pay attention to spray guidelines.

KALAMAZOO -- Jokes about hospital food at Borgess Medical Center took a back seat to praise of the food Thursday when a downtown Kalamazoo chef served Italian foods all cooked from scratch.
John Korycki, executive chef of Zazios, in the Radisson Plaza Hotel & Suites, worked with the Borgess cafeteria staff all day Wednesday and all morning Thursday to serve lasagna filled with vegetables; a salad made of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, basil and olive oil; roasted potatoes with rosemary; sauteed summer squash; and open-faced blueberry cobbler.
"Its a ton of work," Mark Anderson, the retail-food manager for Borgess, said about cooking with all fresh ingredients. "You don't realize how much comes out of a can or package until you don't use those type of foods."
The presentation of fare was an ode to the beauty of fresh food that excited people both in front of and behind the serving counter.
At noon Thursday, the line to Korycki's serving station was 27 people long and snaked out of the cafeteria's main door. An hour later, the line was about the same length.
Some hospital staff members had been talking about the guest chef appearance for as long as two weeks and were happy to finally taste the fare.
"I'm always a big fan of the tomato and mozzarella salad and as excited to see it," said Stacy Gildea, a Borgess speech pathologist, who purchased a plate of Korycki's lasagna and tomato and mozzarella salad. "Everything was nice and fresh, full of flavor. It was a nice alternative to the chicken fingers that we usually get."
The cafeteria staff worked with Korycki to prepare enough food for about 250 people. The cost of the fare -- $4.75 for lasagna, $5.75 for lasagna and two side dishes -- was in line with other food served in the cafeteria, such as meat loaf and pizza.
"Our staff enjoyed it, learned a lot," said Tom Pongle, general manager of food and nutrition for Sodexo at Borgess. "Its amazing when you have something new like this, how it picks the whole staff up. Korycki was joking with the dishwashers. Even they were excited."
The guest chef event will be followed today by a farmers market, involving about 10 vendors, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the hospital's courtyard.

If you're a guy, you probably know the drill by now: The doctor snaps on a latex glove and tells you to turn your head and cough. You probably wonder, "Why do I have to do this?"
Your doctor is checking you for a condition called a hernia. There are several types of hernias, and they don't just happen to guys — everyone from your baby sister to your grandfather can develop them. But learning to prevent hernias isn't hard to do.
A hernia (pronounced: HUR-nee-uh) is an opening or weakness in the wall of a muscle, tissue, or membrane that normally holds an organ in place. If the opening or weakness is large enough, a portion of the organ may be able to poke through the hole. Imagine an inner tube poking through a hole in an old tire — that's what a hernia is like.
Hernias happen more frequently in certain parts of the body, like the abdomen, groin and upper thigh area, and belly button area. They also can happen in any place where you may have had an incision from surgery.
It might take a long time for a hernia to develop or it might develop suddenly. Hernias are caused by a combination of muscle weakness and strain, although the cause of the weakness and the type of strain may vary.
Hernias are actually most common in babies and toddlers. And most teens who are diagnosed with a hernia actually have had a weakness of the muscles or other abdominal tissues from birth (called a congenital defect). In these cases, straining your muscles doesn't cause the hernia; it only makes the hernia more apparent (and painful!).
Here are some types of strain on the body that may induce hernias:
These types of strain on their own probably won't give you a hernia. But when they team up with a weak muscle, a hernia is more likely to result.
Many hernias are discovered during routine physical exams. If you're a guy, you may have had a physical exam where your doctor gave you a testicular exam and checked your testicles for a hernia. By placing a finger at the top of your scrotum and asking you to cough, the doctor can feel if you have a hernia.
It's good for girls to know about hernias, too, because they can affect you, especially if you've been pregnant or are obese. A doctor can check for any possible hernias in girls by gently pressing on the organs or looking for possible signs during an examination.
Inguinal (pronounced: IN-gwuh-nul) hernias are more likely to occur in guys than girls. More than 70% of all hernias that occur are inguinal hernias, which means that a part of the intestines protrudes through an opening in the lower part of the abdomen, near the groin, called the inguinal canal.
In guys, the inguinal canal is a passageway between the abdomen and the scrotum through which a cord called the spermatic cord passes (the testicles hang from the spermatic cord). In girls, the inguinal canal is the passageway for a ligament that holds the uterus in place. Nearly all cases of inguinal hernias in teens are due to a congenital defect of the inguinal canal. Instead of closing tightly, the canal leaves a space for the intestines to slide into.
If you have an inguinal hernia, you might be able to see a bulge where your thigh and your groin meet. In guys, the protruding piece of intestine may enter the scrotum, which can cause swelling and pain. Other symptoms of an inguinal hernia might include pain when you cough, lift something heavy, or bend over. These types of hernias require surgery to repair; in fact, inguinal hernia operations are the most common type of surgery performed on kids and teens.
Umbilical hernias are common in newborns and infants younger than 6 months. They occur when part of the intestines bulge through the abdominal wall next to the belly button. In babies with umbilical hernias, parents may see bulging around the belly button area when the baby cries.
Unlike other types of hernias, umbilical hernias may heal on their own, usually by the time a baby is 1 year old. If not, surgery can repair the hernia.
In an epigastric (pronounced: eh-pih-GAS-trik) hernia, which is also called a ventral hernia, part of the intestines protrude through the abdominal muscles located between the belly button and the chest.
It's mostly guys who have to worry about this type of hernia — about 75% of epigastric hernias occur in males. People with this type of hernia may notice a lump. Surgery is a common way to fix this problem.
If you've had surgery in your abdominal area, you might experience this type of hernia. In incisional hernias, part of the intestines bulge through the abdomen around a surgical incision. In this case, surgery actually weakened the muscle tissue in the abdomen. This type of hernia requires another surgery to repair it.
This type of hernia occurs at the opening of the diaphragm where the esophagus (the pipe that food travels down) joins the stomach. If the muscle around the opening to the diaphragm becomes weak, the uppermost part of a person's stomach can bulge through the diaphragm.
Hiatal (pronounced: hy-AY-tul) hernias are common, although small ones don't usually cause any symptoms. Unlike the other types of hernia, you won't be able to see a bulge on the outside of your body, but you might feel heartburn, indigestion, and chest pain. Hiatal hernias can be treated with medication and diet changes, but sometimes require surgery.
If you notice a bulge or swelling in your groin, abdomen, scrotum, or thigh, you should talk to your doctor. Sometimes a hernia may also cause sharp or dull pain and the pain may worsen when you are standing.
With most types of hernias, including inguinal, umbilical, epigastric, and incisional, your doctor will be able to see and feel the bulge and diagnose you with a hernia.
Except for umbilical hernias in babies, hernias don't just go away on their own — you must talk to your doctor and receive treatment. Over time, your hernia may become larger and more painful, and in some cases of hiatal hernia, a piece of the intestine could become trapped (this is known as incarceration). In a true surgical emergency, the blood supply could be cut off to the incarcerated intestine (this is known as strangulation). This situation is painful and dangerous because it can cause infection and may cause the strangulated tissue to die, so it's important to call your doctor.
If you've had a hernia operation and you notice redness or discomfort around your incision (the area where the cut was made to perform the operation), be sure to let your doctor know. It could be a sign of infection that will require further treatment.
Here are a few tips for keeping hernias from hurting you:

Site Status
- Hoover Treated Wood Products, Inc. (Hoover) completed a focused Corrective Measures Study (CMS) in May 2014 that evaluated their existing groundwater recovery system as the proposed final remedy to contain arsenic contaminants in groundwater on-site and decrease concentrations of arsenic site-wide. In addition, the CMS evaluated arsenic in surface water and sediment in the unnamed tributary located north of the facility and in the surface water feature to the south of the facility.
- The CMS concluded that the groundwater recovery system effectively maintains control and stability of the contaminated groundwater and has decreased concentrations of arsenic since operation began in 2002. In addition, arsenic was not observed above protective levels in surface water and arsenic observed in sediment on the south side of the facility was observed at levels that are not likely to pose an adverse risk to the environment based on the information provided. It is anticipated that since arsenic is contained on-site, arsenic concentrations in sediment will attenuate over time.
- Hoover's proposed final remedy will be implemented under the facility's existing Hazardous Waste Management Permit for Post-Closure Care and Site-Wide Corrective Action. The proposed final remedy will be incorporated into the Permit in 2016 during their Permit renewal process, which includes a public comment period. The proposed remedy will include semi-annual groundwater monitoring in addition to groundwater recovery system operation.
- The Hoover facility occupies approximately 64 acres of property located in Milford, Virginia. The facility lies within the Mattaponi River Basin, approximately one mile east of the Mattaponi River and is bound on the north by a low-lying marshy intermittent drainage way and on the south by tidal wetlands.
- Hoover produces pressure treated wood products using a chromate copper arsenate (CCA) solution and other wood treating solutions as well as interior and exterior fire retardants. Historically, residual preservative materials were applied to the facility's land after being mixed with a stabilizing agent.
- Building One, located on the northwest portion of the Hoover facility, was the location where residual wood preservative materials were treated, temporarily stored, and stabilized. Based on approved closure activities, clean closure of Building One, its contents, and the underlying unsaturated soils was successfully completed on December 1, 1999.
- Area A, located on the northeast portion of the Hoover facility, was the location where the stabilized residual wood preservative materials were deposited. Based on approved closure activities, clean closure of unsaturated soils in Area A was successfully completed on December 1, 1999. However, clean closure of the groundwater could not be achieved. Therefore, the post-closure care period for Area A shall continue until December 1, 2029. Subsequently, on December 15, 2005, a Post-Closure Care Permit (Permit) for Area A including provisions for RCRA Site-wide Corrective Action was issued to Hoover by DEQ.
- In 2002, Hoover installed a groundwater recovery system to decrease concentrations of arsenic in groundwater on-site. Recovery wells were installed at Area A and at the southern portion of the property.
- On July 18, 2006, DEQ completed an evaluation of available information and issued a "YES" determination for the "Migration of Contaminated Groundwater Under Control" Environmental Indicator (EI) in accordance with the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA).
- On September 12, 2009, DEQ completed an evaluation of available information and issued a "YES" determination for the "Current Human Exposures Under Control" EI in accordance with the GPRA.
- On June 5, 2012, Hoover submitted a RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) Phase II Report. DEQ approved the RFI Report on August 3, 2012 and required Hoover to perform a CMS.
- In May 2014, DEQ approved Hoover's CMS. Hoover will continue to operate its groundwater recovery system and perform semi-annual groundwater monitoring as its proposed final remedy under Corrective Action to achieve corrective action objectives.
Contaminants and Risks
- Contaminants include arsenic in groundwater site-wide with lesser concentrations of other inorganics at Area A.
- No impacts to air and surface water have been identified during the environmental investigations and contaminants observed in soil at Area A were removed during unit closure. No other impacts to soil were identified during the RFI process.
- Arsenic was observed in sediment to the south of the facility. However the levels observed are not likely to pose an adverse risk to the environment. Since arsenic in groundwater is contained on-site, it's anticipated that arsenic observed in sediment will attenuate over time.

Full text not available from this repository.
For investigations of flow fields with pronounced spatial structures and/or rapid temporal or spatical chances new experimental techniques, such as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) are required which allow to capture large floe velocity fields instantaneoulsy. A number ofdifferent approaches for the recording and evaluation of PIV images has been described in literature. This course will mainly concetrate on those aspects of the theorey of PIV relevant to applications. Besides giving lectureson the fundamental aspects, special emphasis is placed on the presentation of practical and reliable solutions of problems which are faced during the implementation of this technique in wind tunnelsand other test facilities. During practice the participants will have the opportunity to carry out the recording and the evaluation of PIV photographs for themselves in small groups.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- It looks like rain will be sweeping through most of north Alabama today, according to the National Weather Service's Huntsville forecast.
Showers are mostly expected to begin after 2 p.m. and carry through into the night with an 80 percent probability. Showers will be the dominate rainfall but a thunderstorm remains possible. The National Weather Service states the weather does not appear to be a wash-out at this time but some areas could encounter a quarter-inch to half-inch, especially in the northwest part of the state.
The precipitation comes in advance of a cold front that will begin moving across the area by tonight. Showers will likely continue through tomorrow afternoon.
Today's high will be near 74 degrees, and the low tonight will get down to the mid-50s.
Tonight's front will take its toll on Thursday's temperatures, which should come in near 69 degrees during the day and 46 degrees that night.

This is going to get me into a lot of trouble but I've never been a big fan of Jasmine Star, the uber wedding photographer of the moment. (That's more than a bit harsh.)
Anyway check her website to see why but then again aging 60-year-old white grumpy males are not her target audience. Hip new brides with big budgets for their photo needs are and she hits her target market right on.
Ms Star is the guest blogger at Scott Kelby's Photoshop Insider (which you should all be subscribing to whether or not you use Photoshop) and she has graciously written out her typical shooting schedule for her wedding photography business.
If you're an up-and-coming wedding photographer or maybe you're Uncle Joe and you've been asked to shoot your niece's wedding, then there is a world of good information here. Ms Star is also a much better photographer than I'll ever be when it comes to weddings so despite my uncalled for comments, read what she has to say and critique her photos as you'll learn a lot about what it takes to be a great wedding photographer by doing so.
Okay so why am I not a member of the Jasmine Star fan club. Jealousy would come to mind.
Even though I don't appreciate the "glamour girl with a camera" approach (BTW same goes for Metrosexual Man with a Camera or Macho Male with a Camera and there are more than a few of these folks out there on the Internet….I'm more inclined to love human being with a heart and a camera approach…but that's just my opinion).
For example, I've kinda have a crush on Mostly Lisa when it comes to shooters. Lisa Bettany lives in British Columbia and is drop-dead gorgeous (she was a model and probably still is) and a really talented photographer. Her big claim to fame IMHO is she doesn't take herself too seriously. With Lisa, what you see is what you get which is tons of talent and a young woman who I hope is enjoying life to the fullest.
Lisa had a video of herself doing a bungy jump (she was a commenator for a BC TV channel and leapt off a bridge with a camera attached to herself) but for some reasons it was taken down. This young woman is fearless. Take an hour or so and read her blog postings. Again, you'll be a much better photographer as a result.

In Reply to: japenese maple pruning posted by Jennifer on June 23, 2003 at 10:55:51:
: I have a willow type japenese maple that is just beautiful but.. it looks like a bush. I think I need to prune some of the branches but I am unfamiliar with this tree. Can I prune the underneath branches to get it to grow any taller?
Hi Jeniffer,
Pruning the lower branches won't make the tree grow any taller. Most of the weeping jap maples are grafted and if your graft is low, then it will tend to stay shorter. Here's some sites that show how to prune.
Hope this was helpful.

Loveland Historical Society member Sharon Danhauer removes a "this rock is reserved" sign that she'd placed two years ago next to a boulder off the 15th tee at Mariana Butte Golf Course. The rock was moved Friday morning, Nov. 9, 2012, to a spot at the Mariano Medina family cemetery, where it will hold a plaque describing the role of the Cherokee and Overland trails. The route of the historic 19th century trails runs through the area.
Steve Southard, golf operations manager for the city of Loveland, motions to the rock that Dick Ward had just deposited Friday morning with a front-end loader at the site of the Medina family cemetery. The rock, which had been stored with several others near the 15th tee at Mariana Butte Golf Course, will have a plaque affixed to it telling the history of the Cherokee and Overland trails. The property, northwest of the corner of West First Street and Namaqua Avenue in west Loveland, recently was donated to the Loveland Historical Society, which will preserve the cemetery as a historical site. Loveland pioneer Mariano Medina's settlement and crossing over the Big Thompson River are farther west along Namaqua Avenue, across from Namaqua Park. Loveland Historical Society members Sharon Danhauer, Ann Ague and Pam Sheeler watched the rock's placement.

CLINTON TWP. — A crying, shoeless 6-year-old girl running down the street attracted the attention of people who stopped her and called police.
The girl had been left alone by her mother's male friend, who went to work after the girl fell asleep, police said. No charges were immediately filed but the state Division of Children and Families was notified, as were State Police at the Perryville station, because the incident started in Lebanon.
On July 17 around 6:30 p.m. Sgt. Matthew McGill was dispatched to Route 629 near the Cherry Street overpass for a report of a child running down the street. He met with several witness and the girl, who was "crying and very upset."
A short time later, the girl's mother arrived. Both reside in Flemington. The mother told McGill that she had left her daughter with the friend in Lebanon while she went to work. When the girl fell asleep, the friend then also went to work, leaving the girl alone in the house.
The man was either unwilling or unable to say how long he left the girl alone in the house, police said. When the girl awoke from her nap, she became scared and ran from the house.More Hunterdon County news: NJ.com/hunterdon • Facebook • Twitter

He is a very friendly doctor and greets you with a handshake.
Dr. Shah is exceptionally pleasant and efficient!
Dr. Shah and his nurse Barbara are amazing... We wouldn't go anywhere else. Not only do my husband and I trust them with our own care but also with our two kids since they were infants. The compassion and bedside professionalism that they continuously show is priceless and rare to come by. Thank you Dr. Shah and Barbara... We love you!
i wud reccomend this doctor to anyone because he is so intelligent, he knows what hes doing and hes very caring.spends enough time with patients and actually listens to them.five stars !!!
Dr. Shah and the entire office staff at Brea have done an excellent job taking care of me and my family. They are always courteous and always make you feel like you are important.
Been with this office for 20 years. Besides misdiagnosing, Dr Shah and his staff take several days to get back to you when dealing with serious health issues. And at times, never to return your messages. Ever since Dr. Edmunds retired, this office, doctors and staff has not been the same. Staff is rude, unprofessional. Sadly our family will never return.

While water strongly absorbs micro-waves for an instantaneous
temperature rise, the cost of microwave heaters is generally
regarded as prohibitive. A new approach to microwave
heat transfer may change that perception.
Based on a modular concept, the design centers on a
simple element: a heat-resistant polysulfone injection-molded
wave guide with inner pipe. The wave guide conducts
microwave radiation emitted by the antenna of a magnetron.
Only the water heats up, as the UDELr polysulfone (Amoco
Chemical) offers low microwave absorption.
Test results show that 2 kW of power permits a 30C
temperature increase for a water flow of 1 liter/min.
Applications? Heating of ultra-pure water for semiconductor
device manufacture; medical products; chemical processes.
The technology is available for license.

This bike fits in a suitcase, under the seat of a small
plane, or in the trunk of a car. Folded, it measures
36 x 21 x 12 inches. Weighing 18 lbs, the bike comes
with a three- or seven- speed gearbox.
A chain connecting the front sprocket to a triangular
gearbox powers a pair of small, tandem rear wheels.
Tandem wheels provide a more comfortable ride than a
single-wheel design. An air gap between the front tandem
wheel and the road keep it from dragging during turns.
Adjusting the wheel's height lets the rider customize
the ride for different terrains. The wheel makes contact
intermittently to absorb road bumps. Although not in
production, the cost is expected to be in the $800 to
$1,200 range.

Traffic operation bears fruitApril 03,2013ST. ALBANS The Vermont State Police say a weekend operation designed to encourage safe driving during the Easter holiday weekend resulted in dozens of stops for speeding.
The operation that began Friday focused on areas along the border in Franklin, Grand Isle and Orleans counties with an emphasis on major corridors, such as interstates 89 and 91.
Vermont State Police Assistant Field Force Commander Capt. Robert Evans said highly visible aggressive traffic enforcement can reduce crashes and detect criminal activity.
Among the results of the weekend operation along the border were 94 tickets being issues, including 53 speeding violations and six criminal arrests, but no arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol.
And Vermont saw no traffic fatalities over the weekend.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The race for attorney general in Vermont pits an experienced prosecutor who has...
