A man was crushed to death in Italy after a giant crucifix honoring Pope John Paul II somehow came loose and fell on him during a ceremony.
The 98-foot wooden and concrete cross fell while Pope John Paul II was being honored in the Italian village of Cevo, ITV.com reported.
Popes John Paul II and John XXIII are slated to become saints on Sunday at a twin canonization, a very big event in the 2,000-year history of the church.
The cross in Cevo was dedicated to John Paul II on his visit to the region in 1998.

Local man denies three theft chargesMarch 07,2013Local man denies
3 larceny charges
A Mount Holly man was jailed on $100,000 bail Wednesday for allegedly threatening violence while demanding money from three local businesses.
Todd E. Bussino Jr., 29, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to three felony counts of larceny from a person.
Judge Theresa DiMauro set bail for Bussino, who was taken to the Rutland jail after the hearing.
He was arrested Monday by Vermont State Police, who charged him with robbing the Cumberland Farms convenience store on Main Street in Wallingford on Friday afternoon. Rutland City Police charged him with robbing the Walgreens pharmacy on Woodstock Avenue and the Burger King on North Main Street early Saturday.
No one was hurt in any of the incidents and no weapon was displayed, police said, though they said Bussino did threaten to shoot a clerk who followed him from Cumberland Farms.
Police said he was filmed by a security camera at Cumberland Farms and left his jacket at Burger King.
Police said Bussino admitted to the incidents and said he was trying to get money to buy crack cocaine.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Avion II TV Stand, Tall Double-Wide
designed by BDI Studio
At A Glance:
The immensely popular Avion Series of home entertainment centers has been redesigned to provide an even better media experience. The Avion II Tall Double-wide TV Stand features a satin stainless steel base, larger door and drawer windows, soft-close hinges, and ultra-convenient cable management channels.
Model 8928 is a two-door cabinet with an upper multi-function compartment. Top compartment conceals a center channel speaker, media and/or additional components. Lower doors conceal two component compartments and a dedicated center gaming console compartment.
Recommended for flatscreen TVs up to 50".
See the entire BDI Avion Collection.
What's To Like:
BDI packs so many great features into the Avion II that it's hard to know where to start. The cabinet is supremely well-ventilated, has a great cable-management system to clean up the mess, and infrared glass door panels let you keep your expensive consoles hidden away yet still usable. Oh, and you know how hard it is to move heavy entertainment centers? The Avion II's a snap to move away from the wall with built-in, hidden wheels that don't detract from the look.
What's Not to Like:
It may not be possible to dislike any of the functionality of this media console. That leaves its price, which isn't cheap. But, while the price is high, it's certainly no higher than it should be for a well-designed entertainment center with so many features.
The Bottom Line:
Avion II is the perfect example of what engineers and home theater aficionados talk about around the water cooler. It's BDI's premier enclosed cabinet system - the culmination of years of studying the most demanding home theater systems. The keys to Avion II? It's beautiful, it's roomy, it has a place for everything. And, most importantly, it has a multitude of features built in. The BDI Avion II 8928 TV stand is an open and shut case of media console superiority.
The BDI Avion II TV Stand is also known by the following manufacturer Item Number: 8928.

This TV stand includes a concealed compartment designed for use with a center channel speaker. The compartment features a speaker-fabric panel front, allowing your speaker's sound to come through crystal-clear.
This TV stand features the finest quality materials and finishes. Sturdy construction and steel or interlocking-panel supports provide a strong foundation for your home theater. Additionally, BDI specifies only the finest European-style hardware. Door handles and other metal details are beautifully finished. The unique soft-close hinges on most door assemblies are fully adjustable to ensure that doors hang evenly, swing smoothly and close gently.
This home theater cabinet is innovatively engineered in a unique way so that the back can be removed effortlessly for easy access to components and connections. Need to accommodate a very deep component? The back panel can be left off the cabinet without sacrificing any structural rigidity, allowing the component to extend from the back as needed.
Concealed wheels are built into this unit's leg assemblies. This means the TV stand can be moved (even if fully loaded) away from the wall by one person for easy access to cables and connections. Levelers allow the unit to be raised off of its wheels to secure it in place.
BDI home theater furniture is engineered to keep the usual tangle of cables and connections neatly under control. This cabinet features removable back panels for easy access to the rear of components. Integrated routing channels provide space for speaker and TV cables to be neatly concealed. You'll be able to gather and secure all cables out of sight by using the supplied Velcro® closures.
Floors can be quite uneven and your home theater needs to be level for optimum performance. This BDI TV stand includes easily adjustable levelers to compensate for minor leveling issues in flooring or to correct minor panel-alignment issues. This home theater cabinet includes integrated levelers that are readily accessible from inside the cabinet, allowing it to be lifted up off of its wheels to secure it in place if desired.
Because components come in many shapes and sizes, This TV stand features shelves that can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of systems. Shelves rest on unique steel shelf pins, which are rubber-padded to minimize vibration of components, and high-quality threaded inserts allow you to readjust shelf positioning in 1.25-inch (32 mm) increments as needed.
In order to perform at peak levels, your components not only need to look cool, they have to stay cool. This cabinet facilitates airflow through generous ventilation slots integrated into the bottom panel, wood shelves and removable back panels. Cooler air is drawn in from the bottom of the cabinet, while hot air is naturally expelled out the back.
Practically all of the glass used by BDI is tempered glass. Tempered glass is virtually shatterproof and four to five times stronger than standard glass. When used for shelves, tempered glass is strong enough to support the heaviest components and provides a high degree of durability.
All of BDI's furniture is designed with ease of use in mind. Grey tinted glass doors and windows keep components out of sight yet are compatible with the Infrared (IR) signals used by many remote controls.

Comments about BDI Avion II TV Stand, Tall Double Wide:
Really very easy to assemble. Beautiful cabinet with fantastic venting and wire management. The folks that installed the television could not stop talking about it. The whisper close doors are a huge plus. Shelves are easy to configure. Although will likely add larger speakers in the future, the cabinst currently houses left and right bookshelf speakers and a center channel. Works and sounds great!

Funding for the project, currently a low-water crossing on West King Lane that is being used by oil companies in northern Bee County, has been put on hold until the benefactors — Texstar Midstream and Teak Midstream — are contacted for their opinions.
These companies together contributed $250,000 for what was initially thought to be a new bridge.
"It is just a good deal. A real good deal," Mike Schlichte, vice president at Koltz Associates, said during an initial meeting with the court five months ago when the bridge was proposed to the commissioners.
Schlichte told commissioners that his company would work on the county's behalf to build a bridge — not just replace a culvert.
"If the companies are willing to put up the funding, you get a new bridge, and you are going to get a much better situation out there than you have now for the people who live out there, the school buses that cross it and the oil companies," he told the court during that prior meeting.
On Monday, things changed though.
Commissioner Dennis DeWitt, who has been spearheading this project because it is in his precinct, said that there initially was some concern whether there was enough money to fully fund a bridge.
"What has happened was several of us questioned the possibility of being able to replace the culvert for several hundred thousand dollars," he said. "As we went along with the company we are working with, it turn outs to put a bridge in was $500,000 to a million dollars."
Commissioner Ken Haggard showed his displeasure with the situation in which the county is now being placed.
"I am just wondering if this company we are dealing with, this consulting firm, if they are just dead set on their own set of contractors and they are not going out and looking at anything different," he said. "I feel we are being held hostage by this consulting company..."
The court previously approved paying Koltz Associates $48,000 for their assistance in the project and designs based upon what the county wanted.
DeWitt said that since all of this began he has received a set of plans from a company that has done work in the county before. However, these bridge plans didn't have an engineer's seal.
"When you are putting in something as a government entity and it doesn't have an engineer's seal, you are accepting every bit of liability that there is."
No one on the court wanted to take that chance. However, they also weren't keen on the idea of using the culvert plans provided by Koltz Associates.
"It is not what we thought we were going to get," DeWitt said. "It will be safer but it will not be a bridge."
Commissioner Carlos Salazar also voiced concern for the companies funding this project.
"The individuals who donated this money to the county, are they OK with culverts?" he asked. "We need to find out."

|The Spiritual Heart of Tibetan Medicine, and its Contribution to the Modern World
The first International Congress for Tibetan Medicine took place in Washington DC in November 1998. A unique gathering, opened by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, it brought together Tibetan physicians, lamas, doctors and medical specialists from many countries. Sogyal Rinpoche was invited to address the conference on its opening morning.
"Commit not a single unwholesome action,
He also said:
"We are what we think
The mind is both the source of happiness and the root of suffering; at the same time as it possesses an extraordinary capacity for healing, it also plays its part in making us ill.
But how exactly can the mind provoke physical illness? The Four Tantras, the authoritative sources for Tibetan Medicine, are quite explicit:
For years now around the world there has been a growing understanding of the correlation of mind and body, and of the link between ill-health and the way we cope with stress and our emotions. In his book 'Emotional Intelligence', Daniel Goleman writes:
"Rest in natural great peace
Through the practice of 'calm abiding', or tranquillity meditation, our restless, thinking mind subsides into a state of deep inner peace. The warring, fragmented aspects of ourselves begin to settle and become friends; negativity and aggression are disarmed; frustration, tension and turbulent emotions are defused; and the unkindness and harm in us is removed, revealing our inherent 'good heart'. So meditation is real 'inner disarmament'.
From this state of 'calm abiding' comes the expansive clarity and insight of 'clear seeing': duality dissolves; ego dwindles and confusion evaporates; the whole way we look at ourselves changes; and we give space to emotions, learn from them, and become free from their sway.
Chu ma nyok na dang
Nothing could be simpler, yet more powerful:
"Water, if unstirred, will become clear—that's a fact. In just the same way, the very nature of mind is such that if you do not alter, fabricate, or manipulate it with needless thinking, it will, by itself, find its own natural state of peace and well-being."
So many have found that even a glimpse of the nature of mind is utterly transforming, nourishing, and purifying. For if disease is due to our losing sight of our true nature, to recognize the nature of our mind must be the ultimate healing.
Padmasambhava, who introduced Buddhism into Tibet in the eighth century, clarifies this even further:
"Don't regard illness as a hindrance, or consider it a virtue. Leave your mind unfabricated and free... cutting through the flow of conceptual thoughts... old illnesses will disappear by themselves and you remain unharmed by new ones."
For as His Holiness says:
"Tibetan medicine is an integrated system of health care that has served the Tibetan people well for many centuries and which, I believe, can still provide much benefit to humanity at large. The difficulty we face in bringing this about is one of communication, for like other scientific systems, Tibetan medicine must be understood in its own terms, as well as in the context of objective investigation."
Then, I feel certain, Tibetan medicine will take its rightful place as a universally respected, major system of medicine and healing, and prove itself to have more and more to offer, in a world increasingly beset with diseases and disorders, towards relieving suffering everywhere.
A modified version of this article appeared in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, May 1999, Vol 5. No. 3, pp.70-72. H. H. the Dalai Lama's paper at the congress: 'The Relevance of Tibetan Medicine Today' appears in the same issue, pp. 67-69.

Dr. Peter D. UptonMarch 07,2013Dr. Peter D. Upton
WALLINGFORD Dr. Peter Dodds Upton died Monday, March 4, 2013, at his home in Wallingford, in the presence of his devoted wife of 50 years, Kathleen Ovitt Upton. He was 76 years old and had battled cancer for the past two years.
Dr. Upton was born May 18, 1936, in Burlington, Vt., to Dr. Hiram Eugene Upton and Doris Dodds Upton. He graduated from Burlington High School in 1953, where he was a standout athlete, participating in football, alpine ski racing and track and field. In addition to playing multiple positions in football, he won both the Vermont high school slalom championship and the New England high school discus championship in 1953. A knee injury later that year cut short his athletic career. He spent winters skiing at Stowe, summers fishing at the family camp on the shores of Lake Champlain and many days and nights enjoying the woods and streams of family property on Camels Hump in Duxbury.
After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1958, he attended the University of Vermont College of Medicine, graduating in 1963 and earning a masters degree in neuroanatomy along the way. While at UVM, he also met Kathleen Ovitt of Fairfax, a graduate of the Mary Fletcher School of Nursing in Burlington; they were married September 14, 1962, and joyfully celebrated their golden wedding anniversary together this past year. After finishing medical school, he completed his training in Denver, Colo., and Burlington, and in 1969, moved with his family to Wallingford, where he began what would be a 40-year career as a neurosurgeon, proudly and tirelessly serving the Rutland area and Southern Vermont until illness forced him to fully retire in 2011.
Dr. Upton was an avid outdoorsman, naturalist and conservationist. Throughout his life, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, first with his father, later with his own children and grandchildren. He shared with his family and friends a passion for, and an encyclopedic knowledge of, the plant, animal and bird life of Vermont and beyond his love of the natural world took him many places, including the North Slope of Alaska and the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador. Along with other area hunting and environmental advocates, he was instrumental in the successful establishment of Rutland County chapters of the National Audubon Society, Ducks Unlimited and the National Wild Turkey Federation. He served on the board of Vermont Coverts, a local organization of private landowners promoting the enhancement of wildlife habitat and healthy forest ecosystems; he put these ideals into practice on land in Hubbardton that he owned and actively managed beginning in 1988.
Dr. Upton was a committed husband, father and grandfather. He was an active member of the Mill River Union High School community for many years, enthusiastically supporting the schools athletic, music and drama programs. He was a dedicated physician and caregiver, serving his patients and their families with skill, compassion and a legendary sense of humor. Above all, he was a proud Vermonter.
He is survived by his wife, Kathleen; three children, Dr. Michael Upton of South Hero, Timothy Upton and his wife Tracy Upton of Wallingford, and Louise Larvik and her husband Darin Larvik of LaGrande, Ore.; five grandchildren, Benjamin and John Upton, and Georgia, Silas and Allison Larvik; three sisters, Hira Rhode of Shaftsbury, Audrey Upton of Bennington and Sara Mikell of Williston; and many nieces and nephews.
Friends may call at the Rutland Country Club on Grove Street from 3:00 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 23, 2013.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Vermont Coverts, Woodlands for Wildlife Inc., PO Box 81, Middlebury, VT 05753; or to the Vermont Woodlands Association, PO Box 6004, Rutland, VT 05702.MORE IN ObituariesWilliam A. Spanos Rites

My LO's poops arent always seedy - they are usually yellow to orange and sometimes more seedy than others.
Have you done any research on silent reflux? My LO has that - she gags during and after feedings sometimes. She also crys more around feeding times and acts uncomfortable and arches her back sometimes. She also cant sleep flat and constantly sounds congested. These are all reflux symptoms, but its called silent reflux when they dont vomit. We just started her on Prevacid so I'm hoping to see a difference in a couple of weeks. Sometimes babies with either over eat or under eat with reflux - over eat since BM is a natural antacid but then the over eating can make them more uncomfortable - or they under eat since their bellys are upset - maybe causing slow weight gain. Not sure if this applies to you two or not

Medical Mattresses for Patient Comfort, Recovery & Safety
Medical mattresses are designed to provide long-lasting bed rest comfort for patients recovering from wounds and surgical procedures. Find quality pressure-redistribution mattresses, bariatric mattresses and mattress pads designed for hospital medical beds.
Cozy Comfort Foam Medical Mattresses
Give patients the experience of sleeping on a foam mattress that is neither too hard or too soft. Foam mattresses provide sweet relief to patients who spend hours relaxing in the same bed. One good reason to invest in memory foam mattresses for your facility is to prevent, or greatly reduce, the formation of bed sores. The bottom layer of foam provides patients with solid stability, and this layer has cut scoring for added durability. The top layer of foam is the most important layer for patient health and well-being. This is the layer that utilizes die-cutting as it redistributes body weight using pressurized zones. Most of a patient's weight falls into the center of the mattress, and precision-cut center sections keep the middle from collapsing under all that weight. Your patients don't care how their mattresses work; they only want to rest comfortably while recovering. Our selection of premium foam mattresses cradles patients gently as they rest.
Low Air-Loss Medical Mattresses for Treatment of Ulcers
Patients suffering from painful ulcers require extra TLC from hospital staff, and you can increase the chances of a successful recovery by ordering air cell models. This type of mattress is designed in a way that allows the least amount of air to escape from inside the mattress, and staff are able to adjust the amount of air just right. The included air pump is practically maintenance-free. Alternating pressure combines with low air loss to keep the mattress level set at the highest comfort level. That's exactly what patients undergoing aggressive ulcer treatment need for healthy recovery. Low air-loss mattresses are durable enough to withstand temporary power outages, and the entire system fits most standard hospital beds. Materials used in construction are latex-free, and mattresses hold body weights of up to 350 pounds. Another neat thing about these air-loss mattresses is that staff can easily deflate them, stuff them inside of the included carry bags, and transport them to another area when necessary.
Foam Comfort for Bariatric Patients
Keep bariatric surgery patients comfortable before and after surgical procedures with our specialty bariatric mattresses. These sturdy mattresses are constructed using quality foam materials with no latex. Top-layer features include 8 ounces of strong vinyl and anti-microbial ticking. To ensure patient comfort, these mattresses are broader than standard medical mattresses. Our bariatric mattresses are also waterproof, and built to hold body weights up to 600 pounds.
Provide Extra Comfort With Bed Pads
Sometimes patients need an extra layer of bed padding to rest comfortably. Browse our selection of top-quality bed pads designed to meet the needs of special care patients. We carry alternating pressure pads, foam bed pads and synthetic overlays made from cushy materials.

Tickets are on sale for Harvest East End, a celebration of 40 years of winemaking on Long Island's East End, to be held at the McCall Vineyard and Ranch in Cutchogue on Aug. 24. The event will include a tasting from 7 to 9:30 p.m. of regional winemakers' current releases and barrel samples of wines yet to be released, along with foods from local farmers, fishermen, and other food artisans, prepared by a team of local chefs.
An electric-vehicle charging station, newly installed at East Hampton Town Hall, will be unveiled at 9 a.m. Friday at an event sponsored by the town board and the Natural Resources Department. The public has been invited.
The station is in front of the police annex at the town hall campus on Pantigo Road. It use will be demonstrated, using electric vehicles provided by Buzz Chew Chevrolet and Tesla Motors, whose representatives will be on hand to answer technical questions.
East Hampton Town will provide trash bags and gloves to volunteers pitching in on Saturday for the Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup Day.
Individuals and groups have been invited to collect trash on any beach. Participants will be asked to fill out an Ocean Conservancy data collection form, which the town will provide, to record the type of debris found. The information will be used by the organization to identify debris "hotspots" and issues, raise awareness, and help communities adopt policies that will contribute to cleaner oceans.

Student Scholarships
There are several scholarships available to qualified freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Please view the Scholarship Resource Center more information.
Donor Scholarship Agreement
Establishing a scholarship in the School of Management at Purdue University can be done by completing a Scholarship Agreement Form. We would like to encourage any prospective donor to call the Krannert Development Office at 765-494-9057 or 800-893-4108 for guidance in completing the form.
The completed document should be sent to the address at the bottom of the form along with a check or money order made payable to the Purdue Research Foundation. Gifts made by credit card will need to be made through the Office of Development.
The Scholarship Agreement may be modified at a future date, if desired, but only after an award cycle has been completed in which the current criteria was advertised.
If there are any questions regarding the criteria to be used, you may contact the Krannert Development Office for assistance.
The minimum scholarship award is $500.
Endowed Scholarships
An endowment is a gift that is held in perpetuity and invested in a manner that protects the principal from inflation. The investment income provides a stable funding source for such purposes as scholarships, professorships, lecture series, and research centers. Endowments increase Purdue's institutional autonomy and provide it with the resources it needs to stay at the cutting edge. Endowment donors have the opportunity to have a lasting influence on the University's character and to honor or memorialize loved ones, friends, colleagues, teachers, or other individuals.
A minimum of $25,000 will establish an undergraduate scholarship endowment (a minimum of $50,000 for a graduate scholarship endowment) and can be funded over a five-year period, using cash, securities, and personal or real property. Income received from the endowment will be added to the principal until such time that the principal reaches the minimum amount needed. Thereafter, the income will be used to fund scholarships, with the minimum scholarship being $500.
Specific tax and financial benefits that can be received as a result of a gift will depend on what type of asset you give and how it is transferred to the University. We recommend an attorney or accountant be consulted for advice on the legal and tax implications of any gift that is made.
Contact the Krannert Development Office for more information or to receive our "Endowments and Planned Gifts" brochure.
Annually-funded Scholarships
An annually-funded scholarship may be of any amount (with a minimum being $500 each); may be given to any number of recipients; and be named for the donor, a business, or in honor or memory of a person designated by the donor.
The Scholarship Agreement form must be completed and sent to the Office of Development at the address at the bottom of the form along with a check made payable to Purdue University or the Krannert School of Management.
Other Scholarships
A General Scholarship Fund for the Krannert School of Management was established to receive gifts of any amount and the funds used to support additional scholarships. No agreement is required for this type of gift.
In accordance with Purdue policies, all persons have equal access to Purdue University's educational programs, services and activities without regard to race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin or ancestry, marital status, parental status, sexual orientation, disability or status as a disabled or Vietnam-era veteran. For a more complete statement of Purdue's policies of equal access and equal opportunity, visit www.purdue.edu/purdue/ea_eou_statement.html. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these policies, please contact the Office of the Vice President for Human Relations at firstname.lastname@example.com or (765) 494-5830.

|Title: Food Labeling; Nutrient Content Claims: Definition for "High Potency" and Definition of "Antioxidant" for Use in Nutrient Content Claims for Dietary Supplements and Conventional Foods(Section 610 Review)
|Abstract: Section 101.54 (21 CFR part 101.54) describes the requirements for when the terms "high potency" and "antioxidant" may be used on the label or in the labeling of foods, including dietary supplements. Section 101.60 (21 CFR part 101.60) describes the requirements for when the terms �low calorie� or �reduced calorie� may be used on the label or in the labeling of such foods. FDA is undertaking a review of sections 101.54 and 101.60 under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The purpose of this review is to determine whether the regulations should be continued without change, or whether they should be amended or rescinded, consistent with the stated objectives of applicable statutes, to minimize any significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. FDA will consider, and is soliciting comments on, the following: (1) The continued need for the regulations in sections 101.54 and 101.60; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the regulations; (3) the complexity of the regulations; (4) the extent to which the regulations in sections 101.54 and 101.60 overlap, duplicate, or conflict with other Federal rules, and to the extent feasible, with State or governmental rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the regulations in sections 101.54 and 101.60.

Photo contest
closes April 26
BUCKHANNON – The 2013 Strawberry Festival may seem like a while away for some, but for the Strawberry Festival Committee, Buckhannon-Upshur Camera Club and other organizations, the popular festival is just around the corner and it's time to start making preparations.
Over the past few months, Buckhannon-Upshur Camera Club members have been working diligently on preparations for the photography contest which will feature a new category this year. The category "nature" for the adult division enters the fold, replacing the flower category and offering a broader scope of images that could be submitted.
Flower photographs still fall under the nature category, but photographers may now depict other natural elements into their submissions for this category. Five other categories will make their return from last year.
The creative photographic expression category will feature any subject that has been digitally altered by adding elements to the image, or by taking them away. This category is reserved for the more extreme edits that move beyond the scope of basic touch-ups and enhancements.
The monochrome category will feature images that have either been taken in one color or converted to one color, such as, but not limited to, sepia or black and white. Monochromatic images submitted to other categories will still be accepted as long as they follow the guidelines for those categories.
The people category features images where a person or persons are the focal point for the image. The places or things category features subjects other than people, such as fruit and household items.
In celebration of the beauty of West Virginia, the wild and wonderful category will make a reappearance as well. This category may feature people, places, flora and fauna, activities and more.
The images submitted to this category must have been taken in West Virginia. They must also indicate the county in which the photo was captured.
The youth division is open to photographers 18 years old or younger. It consists of two categories, people and places or things. The category descriptions are the same as their namesakes in the adult division.
Submissions are limited to eight entries per person, and entry fees apply. Each entry in the youth division is $2, and each entry in the adult division is $4. For more information about contest rules or to print a submission form, visit our Website at www.bucameraclub.com. Please visit our website for extended details about the contest. Entries that do not meet the rules or criteria will not be accepted. The entry deadline for all divisions is noon on April 26.
Entries being taken for exhibit
HAGERSTOWN, Md. – Entries are now being accepted for the 81st Annual Cumberland Valley Artists Exhibition at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts. The official "Call for Entries" outlining the guidelines for entering the juried exhibition can be obtained by visiting the museum's website (www.wcmfa.org) and searching under Exhibitions, calling the museum at 301-471-7382, or emailing Jennifer Chapman Smith at email@example.com. This year's exhibition is sponsored by Bob and Mary Helen Strauch and Hugh and Marty Talton.
The deadline for entries is 4 p.m. May 31 and the exhibition will be on view in the museum's Groh Gallery Aug. 17 through Nov. 3. The exhibition is open to both professional and amateur artists and all media is considered, except for photography. The museum holds an annual juried photography exhibition earlier in the year. Artists may submit up to four works of art for consideration and all entries must be submitted on digital CDs. Numerous cash awards will be awarded this year, including $1,000 for the piece chosen Best of Show.

"for my boys"........ C'mon. Welcome.
If those are PC Lights, which I am assuming they are. Definitely no hard coral, more like standard softies and/or low light LPS such as frogspawns and "candy cane" coral.
I am obviously going to suggest LEDs if you want hard coral, but others have had great success with Metal Halides (which come with high power consumption + heat) and/or T5's (which may be too big/long for this size tank).
Hope this helps.
I can only guess his rubber doll is flat and he's frustrated.
If you are looking to retrofit into the current canopy, there are many DIY threads here on Nano-Reef with information where to order and how to set them up. Quick search should bring up several threads.
Btw, where did you pick up the tank?
Tons of lighting mods and choices you can choose from. Leds as mentioned are the most popular, lots of DYI's going on around here. Go topless with either LEDs or halides, all depends on your corals you plan to keep.
Edited by Singlefin, 19 February 2012 - 03:31 PM.
Cool. Thanks! I picked up the tank at Beverly's. It isn't too far from my house and I used to get a lot of stuff from them before. I also used to buy from Bernard ( I dont remember the name of the shop but I know that it was off of Miramar Pkwy and Flamingo). I wonder if his shop is still there.
Not sure if I want to go topless. I am not sure if my wife will be ok with an eyesore.
diy leds would look sick. nice start man
this is going to be the "boys" tank and you're going to "have" to setup your 75g again. I have panorama pro leds in my 29g. very easy to setup. the lighting possibilities are endless depending on your budget and skills.
I live on Hiatus and Pines right now, just down the street from Beverly's.
I know Bernard, haven't seen him in a couple years and I am not sure if his store is still there. I believe he stayed doing his reptile thing and just servicing tanks, I don't believe in the same location though, but I could be wrong.
Have you been to coral kingdom on Douglas? I personally haven't but I heard they have some decent deals and there are a couple locals by us With some awesome frags. Some very cheap, some very expensive, but ridiculous.
Let me know about Bernard, would be cool to see him.
No I have not been. I gotta check em out. I will have check out the locals as well. Maybe I can barter with some of the locals. My wife is going to start hating me when I start spending money. I am a pro photographer and graphic designer.
Nice! Maybe we can work something out. I need some photos taken soon, very soon. I am a web designer myself, but with the amount of work I have on my plate right now, always good to have someone on hand. When you get a chance, PM me your portfolio.

June 14, 2012 —
I've never been very good at making lemonade, and truth be told-don't care for its bitter aftertaste. There are times, though, when we have to weigh our options and just squeeze the darned fruit and hope for the best. I'm grateful that my truck is not a lemon, but getting around still proved to be a challenge this past week and thankfully, I got out a few times before being temporarily grounded.
With summer upon us, my schedule has once again blossomed, and I've discovered conflicts already cropping up in my garden of entertainment destinations. Unwilling to choose, I placed a call to the box office at the Forestburgh Playhouse (www.fbplayhouse.org [2]) to exchange my seats for "Guys and Dolls," which opens this week and was threatening to interfere with my plans to experience country pop sensation Lady Antebellum at Bethel Woods (www.bethelwoodscenter.org [3]) on the same night.
Unsuspecting that driving was about to become an issue, I zipped over to the playhouse, switched out my seats, and and took a sneak peek at some of the cast rehearsing "The Oldest Established," a classic tune from the classic show. By the time this column hits newsstands, I'll have seen the opening season production, so stay tuned.
My next scheduled stop was the North American Cultural Laboratory (www.nacl.org [4]) and its presentation of "The Human Lard Dog and the Band of Shy" (www.houseoflard.com [5]). The title alone confounded me, but I was more than curious, having heard little else being talked about (online and in the streets) during the preceding weeks. The website raised even more questions like "Are you now or have you ever been a human Lard Dog?" and the list of band interests on the Facebook page included "He's a Ploop," "Mr. Peeples" and "colanders, noodles and peanuts." Making my reservation, I expressed befuddlement to the theatre's co-founder, Tannis Kowalchuk, who promised that the experience was going to be "amazing."
When I heard that the show was sold out two days prior, more intrigue set in, and I arrived early, to secure a good spot, surrounded by kids, kids... everywhere. The al fresco spaghetti dinner before the show provided terrific sustenance, and although I eschewed the lemonade, the camaraderie was fantastic as I mingled and schmoozed (attorneys at law) with friends and newcomers from far and wide. The excitement was palpable, and upon entering the theatre, rose to a fever pitch.
Artwork by Steven Henry Erdman adorned the walls, hung from the ceiling and was handed out to the little ones (I snagged a lard-dog-on-a-stick) as the audience was instantly transported to a musical world that could be described as akin to Pee Wee's Playhouse on a salty (pretzels were everywhere), sugary high. Erdman, backed by Tamika McClellan and Nicole Holloway (The La'Delles) made his energetic entrance after the band marched through the crowd, New Orleans style. The musicians (Marc Switko, Cindy Rickmond, Peter Florance, Curtis Hasselbring, Jeremy Beck and Jay Collins) sounded, as promised, amazing—and Jason Dole ("he's a ploop, treat him nice") joined Master of Ceremonies Duke Scoppa, accordion man Doug Rogers and (gasp!) Grandma Michelle in blowing the roof off of the place.
Song after frenetic song belted out to the crowd swept the children (and adults) into the Lard Dog's world and held us (yep, even me!) in thrall as the show built in momentum. Pelting the kids with balloons, beach balls and pretzels caused them to shriek with glee as they interacted with the show throughout. Projected images played across the giant screen with mini-movies, song titles, cartoons and more as the show careened (seemingly) out of control, dizzying in scope, thrilling (IMHO) to experience.
Having been informed that LARD was an acronym, and that one has to attend a show to discover its meaning, I hesitate to share, yet feel that I must. "Life's A Real Dream" is beyond apropos for the giddy, ridiculous, silly and psychedelic universe that Erdman and Co. have created and my fervent wish is to see this production thrive. Just when I thought that lemonade was bitter, it turns out to be sweet after all, and I have the man-child known as the Human Lard Dog to thank. Look out, Pee Wee, there's a new kid in town.

'Maintenance Madness' for gardeners
December 1, 2011 —
FERNDALE, NY — Learn how to work smarter in the garden next year at Sullivan Renaissance's seminar entitled "Maintenance Madness" on Wednesday, December 7 at 7 p.m. at the CVI Center in Ferndale.

Big salaries for city managers
I recently read an article on the subject of reducing the salary (plus I'm sure other perks) of city managers, which is currently over $150,000 annually. Without a doubt this seems like a very intelligent decision.
I would go further to say that all municipalities, schools, corporations and so-called "not-for-profits" should review their salary schedules and reduce many of those high-paying salaries for those who probably don't do much more than sit behind a desk giving orders to their sometimes many assistants, who then might intelligently do the delegated work laid out by the high-salaried "boss," who often has a title and little common sense.
I can't imagine that, other than doctors, lawyers, engineers and maybe a few others, [city managers] should be making this money in an area of Sullivan County, which is certainly deplorable as far as the economy is concerned.
Let's start thinking intelligently, legislatures, school boards and other elected officials, and get back to reality when it comes to salaries for government workers.

She was the first and only member of her family to achieve this accomplishment in a time when putting food on the table took priority to an education and especially buying a graduation ring.
Although Evelyn knew her mom and sisters were proud of her, she did not think they were going to be able to attend her graduation.
As she waited for her name to be called, she recounts the tears of joy which ran down her face as three familiar faces slowly emerged from the crowd.
As the years have passed, she would reminisce of her graduation and how she longed for a graduation ring and picture as a confirmation of that proud day.
Her children and grandchildren decided to research Evelyn's high school and how graduation rings looked back then.
On Saturday evening, April, 5, Evelyn's two children, daughter-in-law, five grandchildren, and fourteen great-grandchildren traveled back in time to 1938 as they watched in honor (either face to face or via technology), Evelyn's dream finally become a reality.
Donning a traditional black graduation cap and gown with a black and gold tassel, Mary Evelyn Holbert walked gracefully across the room as she was presented her high school graduation ring while Pomp and Circumstance played softly in the background.
Evelyn Wilson's legacy still continues as she can proudly boast her children and grandchildren each graduated from college and will endure as her great-grandchildren continue to value the importance of an education.

Absolut is delighted to present Renata Lucas´s 2013 Absolut Art Award winning project, featuring a series of site-specific architectural interventions located throughout the Pier Mauá area ofRio de Janeiro, Brazil.

What is in this article?:
- Weather, corn market major driving forces behind wheat prices
- Fundamentally bullish news
- While the market focused on a sharp 6 percent drop in estimated world corn production, USDA reaffirmed the unchallenged ability of U.S. wheat farmers to help the world meet its grain needs again this year.
More About:
Wheat is undoubtedly linked to the corn market this year.
That is why the global wheat industry was anxious to see what adjustments the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) would make to corn in its monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report released Aug. 10.
While the market focused on a sharp 6 percent drop in estimated world corn production, USDA reaffirmed the unchallenged ability of U.S. wheat farmers to help the world meet its grain needs again this year.
The highly documented U.S. drought and poor conditions in Europe and the Black Sea have greatly diminished the global corn and wheat outlook.
USDA slashed its 2012/13 world corn production estimate from 905 million metric tons (MMT) in July to 849 MMT this month, which would be the first production decrease since 2005/06.
The estimate of U.S. corn production, which accounts for more than one-third of world production and exports annually, decreased 55.7 MMT from July to 274 MMT.
The world wheat production estimate was lowered by 2.5 MMT from July to 663 MMT, including reductions in four of the eight major exporters. The report reduced estimated Russian production by 6.0 MMT to 43.0 MMT and reduced production estimates for Kazakhstan, Argentina and the European Union.
Australia's production estimate remained unchanged from last month but is down 12 percent from 2011/12.
In contrast, USDA's estimate of U.S. wheat production increased 1.2 MMT to 61.7 MMT, the highest estimate of the marketing year to date and 14 percent greater than 2011/12.
With total U.S. wheat supply of 85.4 MMT, more than 6 percent greater than the five-year average, the United States is prepared to respond to market needs.
USDA currently expects the United States to meet nearly 25 percent of global wheat demand with exports of 32.7 MMT.
Last year, many livestock and poultry feeders shifted from corn to wheat as prices converged and ample global supplies of feed quality wheat were available.
Tight corn supplies and high corn prices this marketing year could once again force feeders to seek alternatives. USDA dropped its global corn feed use estimate this month by 27.2 MMT to 509 MMT.
If local wheat prices and feed quality wheat supplies allow, wheat may help meet part of that demand. In fact, USDA increased its estimate of global wheat feed usage by 3.76 MMT to 134 MMT compared to last year's record 146 MMT.
In this month's report, USDA also upped predicted domestic feed wheat use by 10 percent from July to 5.99 MMT, 35 percent greater than 2011/12.

During the regular season Kurt Thomas > Sheed
Sheed signing is official and we now have the oldest team in NBA History.
Now....this "Oldest Team in NBA History" is over exxggeratted because
1.all of the above 37 year old players were brought in as backup and T.C. is our oldest starter at 30
2. 2 of the plus 36 year old players are not expected to play (Pablo P. and Kurt) so that sway's the statistic....in theory we could dead the statistic by just cutting KurThomas and signing one of the 3 rookies working out!
Anyways.....so The Knicks plan is embraced by Knick fans and mocked by everyone else (what else is new) but at the end of the day it will have proven to be an affective method or a bust.
I think bringing in former All Stars as role players is brilliant. I thought it was a smart move for Boston to have added Sam Cassell (39 years old) when they won The NBA Championship. It was smart of for Mia. to have added Gary Payton when they won their first NBA Championship.
Karl Malone was 40 when The Lakers signed him (and 36 year old Payton)
Ron Harper won his first NBA Championship as a Bulls PG at 35 and last w/ Lakers at 38
David Robinson won his last Championship at 37
Older players are the perfect role players in my opinion
See there is a lot more balance with age than people think.....see for every over 37 player actually expected to play there is a young player playing in front of them who is expected to do the leg work
Only time will tell how it plays out

-Jeff Van Gundy
During the regular season Kurt Thomas > Sheed
I don't see the age of the team as a problem because we're not asking old guys to come in and drop 30 points a game, we're just asking them to be role players, to come in and fill the little holes we need to patch up and that's what they're supposed to do and that's what they're more than able to do with their experience.
I really liked this offseason, can anyone think of a major hole in our roster? Team chemistry will be a solid issue this year but we have 3 capable point guards who will mesh well with the roster.
Instead of going for home runs, we patched every hole in the roster, and when 100% healthy, have exceptional depth at the 1,2 and 5. Not to mention 2 capable small forwards and a solid PF rotation.
Brilliant thread! Love it.
I think one thing to consider with the listed role players is that they all came in to well founded systems, none of which had any real question marks regarding the roles and impact of its individuals. David Robinson still was basically the founding stone of SA's system and was just replaced by Duncan.
Harper, Payton, Cassell were all brought in to previously established systems, while the Knicks are still kind of stuck in purgatory with their 2 highest payed players. Add to that new players at the point (pivotal position), trying to get STAT and Melo working after a dismal season together last year, as well. I think there's going to have to be some real baby steps for this time in some areas.
Still, I love the thread! Gotta love thinking outside of the box.
Yeah our core is still on the young side so its not a fair statement to say we are the oldest in nba history..
If people wanna talk about whos Old it should be the Lakers. Everyone on that starting team other than Dwight is over 30 and well past their primes
However the only thing that worries me is that if we have any injuries to our starters our age could really start to show. I think we really could have used maybe one or two more young athletic forwards

We already have 3 when at full strength so another 2 guard would get NOOO burn at all after the first week or so. Brewer is not far from coming back and Dantoni got us in this mindset that we need so many shooters.
We have enough 3 pt threats and 1 assassin.
Shump (can hit)
Come the playoffs its all about getting easy shots inside anyway so why waste another spot on a guy getting no burn.

We should be fine this season, but we are not going to get younger for at least three seasons. Camby and Kidd have three year contracts. We do have a 1st round draft pick this year -2013, but not 2014, and hopefully this year's will be very late in Round 1.
It is a shame that our only truly promising non-veteran is Shumpert. I count Felton, JR and Novak veterans. I do not count White, Shurna, or Copeland as particularly promising. Shumpert will learn an awful lot from the players who have already had stellar careers.
When a player like Novak or Kapono is subbed into the game the opposing team knows to attack that player over and over again. So having multiple shooting specialist on this team hurts rather then helps. Defenders and athletes who are capable of hitting the 3 is much more valuable.
I see them both retiring after next seaon.
Plus in three years from now we'll have only like 12 million committed to payroll, we'll have a first rounder that off season so I can live with being an older team til then
I mean unlike the Isiah years when it was years of losing and watching the payroll increase each year with no end in sight, we are actually a good team that has a solid rebuilding plan if we don't win a title in the near future.

About this set: My first wax pack was 1973 Topps and I can still remember pulling Bobby Murcer. It wasn't until I was 8 in 1975 that I was utterly crazed about collecting. I saved many of those original cards to adulthood in the mail away locker, also from 75.
It wasn't until I was twenty that I was at a flea market and saw my 1st mini. Living in NY, I didn't know they existed.
Needless to say, I was hooked. The registry is a terrific way of recapturing some of the joy of collecting as a kid. I grade many minis as I work to upgrade my set and regualry sell duplicates as well as the occasional low pop. Email if you need anything. Any card in my minimisfits set is available as well.
