Vista 32 bit SP2 Install DVD?
I am planning to do an upgrade soon from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7.
Just in case it does not go well, I would like to have a DVD that would allow me to re-install Vista with SP2 up to date.
The computer is a Gateway that had Vista pre-installed. I have the product key and 3 system CD's that I recently made for crash recovery, just following Gateway's utility intended for that purpose.
Would re-installing Vista from these CD's get me to a workable installation with SP2?
If not, are there any other options I could use?
Thanks in advance,

Make an image with a 3rd party tool like Macrium or Acronis.
Run the Windows 7 upgrade advisor first and formost, I doubt you'll have any issues with a Windows 7 install, but the upgrade advisor
is a good as any way to help ensure that W7 is compatible before you take the plunge.
As far as the 3 recovery disks you've made, well, we'll need a little more info on exactly what they are comprised of.DRIVE IMAGING
Invest a little time and energy in a well thought out BACKUP regimen and you will have minimal down time, and headache.

@CLint - It sounds as if they are the same type of media recovery disks that Toshiba allow you to make just one copy of and will be a copy of what is in the D: Recovery partition and would factory reset the machine - along with all of the bloatware.
@rstew - CLiNT's advice to create a system image would enable you to restore the computer back to the way you have it now and is a much more practical fall back, but having used the Recovery disks if needed, you could then restore with the system image - which is what I had to do once because of other problems.

I did run the windows 7 upgrade 32 bit advisor a short while ago, and it indicated only a couple of minor driver upgrade issues to deal with.
I will likely run it again using w7 64bit test and see what that shows. I am considering going 64 bit.
I beleive the recovery disks are a mirror of the D: partition recovery drive, as Sudo15 thought. It sounds like they would take me back to the initial installation of Vista, without SP1and SP2; though I am sure it could be upgraded to current standards easily enough.
I'll investigate the imaging software that you have suggested. Thanks!

Just thought I would post a follow up.
Whilst looking for another cd I stumbled across the original Gateway Vista re-installation disc!
So it's here if needed.
It would still be nice to have a disc with an up to date version with all SP's and patches, so I will maybe see about imaging that all onto a cd.
With a utility like Macrium can you selectively image only the OS?

what kind of Gateway computer are you using, rstew? use either Microsoft System Information tool (msinfo32.exe) or DirectX Diagnostic tool (dxdiag.exe) to gather the model number of the gateway machine.
Upgrading to 64bit Windows 7 may or may not be possible if the Gateway computer uses a CPU chip or motherboard (or other hardware) that does not support 64bit operating systems. You may want to upgrade to 32bit Windows 7 first.

Forget about CDs and DVDs. If you want to image your system, you should invest in an external hard drive. Even a dual layer DVD can only store 8.5GB. Vista on its own occupies 25GB and in answer to your question, you cant image it separately.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD. - (Sept. 14, 2012) - Kimberly Conway Dumpson of Salisbury was named today to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's senior leadership post responsible for fund-raising, alumni affairs and communications.
UMES President Juliette B. Bell formally announced Dumpson's appointment as Vice President for Institutional Advancement in a note circulated across campus and to the university's friends and supporters.
Dumpson was UMES' alumni affairs director and is widely recognized for her work in building and expanding the network connecting graduates to their alma mater. Earlier this year, UMES' athletics department named her its "Hawk of the Year" in recognition of her work as the university's leading alumni liaison.
Dumpson fills the job vacated by Gains B. Hawkins Jr., who retired in August after nine years leading the university's fund-raising efforts.
As Institutional Advancement vice president, Dumpson will answer directly to Bell and be one of her senior advisers.
"In the short time Kim and I have worked together," Bell said, "I have been impressed by her boundless energy and enthusiasm, her work ethic and her ability to communicate with the broad spectrum of constituencies on our campus and beyond its borders."
Dumpson is a Wicomico County native who graduated from James M. Bennett High School and earned an undergraduate degree in political science and sociology from Towson University in 1990. Her law degree is from Ohio Northern University.
In addition to practicing law in Bethesda, Salisbury and Upper Marlboro, she also was the executive director of the Life Crisis Center in Salisbury and worked as executive assistant to Wicomico County's social services director.
She holds a Certificate in Fund Raising Management from Indiana University and is a "Certified Fund Raising Executive," an international credential signifying she meets the profession's highest educational and conduct standards.
Dumpson, who is also a graphic designer, has overseen the university's visual identity program and has been responsible for creating many of the images and designs to promote the university, its programs and events. In her spare time, she enjoys doing genealogical research and has traced her family's roots to Colonial times.
Since joining UMES as alumni affairs director seven years ago, Dumpson had a pivotal role in securing more than $1 million in gifts, including the single largest alumni gift in university history, $350,000.
Her civic and community work, which includes memberships in the Salisbury Rotary Club, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and Princess Anne Chapter of the Links, Inc. earned her recognition in 2010 as a "Hometown Hero" from Gov. Martin O'Malley. She also is a board member of Maryland Capital Enterprises and president of Wicomico High School's Parent Teacher Association.
Dumpson is married to educator Jeffrey Dumpson, dean of students at Parkside High School. The couple has two children, Taylor and Jeffrey, II.

You're right, this surpasses a lot of the pagan metal from the north, and manage to sound very scandivania-esque. But for me, this folk movement just isn't interesting. Too much blaha-blaha for me. I wonder if I'll ever come upon something I can enjoy as much as Finntroll, when it comes to folk.

Oh Captain! My Captain…
My Grandma requested that I write about the Yankee Captain for my next post. My Grandma is 85, and is a huge Yankee fan just like me🙂 But right now, she is going through a very tough time. She's in the hospital and has been since Sunday, and was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. If all goes well, she should be able to come home soon. Every day I have talked to her on the phone, and she asked about my blog. She wants be to write about Jeter, so I will do it for her.
Derek Jeter
Derek Jeter: the epitome of class. He is the present-day Lou Gehrig. Not only is he the best player in the game (fact, lol), but he is also one of the best, most genuine people. Jeet has been on the team for my whole life. He is the Yankees. I can't imagine the Yankees without him. I really miss Jeet right now.
Jeter should have been MVP in 2009. I don't care if Mauer hit .700. Jeter did everything he did in the hardest division in baseball. And although the Twins came back to make the playoffs, they lost to Jeter and the Yankees in 3 games! Jeter had several amazing plays in that series. In game 2 of this ALDS, Nick Swisher threw the ball back into the infield after a base hit. Jeter caught the ball, and realized that Carlos Gomez strayed far off the bag. He quickly tagged him out, before Delmon Young could score! So the inning was over, and the Twinkies didn't score. Then in game 3, in the 8th inning, Jeet made a fantastic play. With Punto on second, Denard Span hit a chopper to short. Jeet made a spectacular play to just get to the ball, but when his instincts took over it was just awesome. He held the ball for a bit, and then fired home, because Punto was heading for the plate! He must have thought the ball got through. So Jeet fired home, and Jorge fired to Arod at third, who tagged the diving Punto for the out. OUT! It was so cool.
Derek does a lot of Jeeterish things. That is, things that only Jeter can do. One of my favorite Jeterian specialties is his jump throw. Who says Jeter has no range? Haha Joe Morgan. Wrong! The jump throw is exciting every time.
And this is another thing that only Jeter would do:
That is what I call dedication.
The sign of a true gamer.
Derek Jeter is just the best. No wonder wherever I go I see little kids with "Jeter, 2" shirts. No wonder he has tons and tons of endorsements, and unlike other people, Jeter won't lose them because he's not a classless pimp (ahem, Tiger Woods). And it's no wonder that he has a beautiful, beautiful girlfriend – I mean, fiance:
Unlike every other female in the state, I am actually genuinely happy for Jeet. I want him to be as happy as possible. And Minka is beautiful enough for him. They are adorable together! I can't wait for this wedding!
Derek, congradulations on everything you have achieved. Congrats on breaking the Yankees all time hits record, congrats on winning your 5th World Series title, congrats on Minka, and I might as well say this now, too: congrats on being the all-time baseball hit king, and congrats on going down as the greatest baseball player ever. And congrats as doing it all as the perfect Yankee.

Derek Jeter has set standards for the Yankees, congrats to you for showing him some love. I can't wait for another Yankee encore.
PS: I hope your grandmother feels better, she has my best wishes.
Matthew Tang
First off V, I'm keeping your grandma in my thoughts and prayers and it's really sweet what you did for her here!
Jeet is the man. He has done it all and with unquestionably go down as one of the best Yankees the ever was. He's always been the nicest player in the league and always plays the game the right way.
As far as being a pimp…well, he is. He has gone through numerous girlfriends (Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Vanessa Minillo, Mariah Carey, Scarlet Johannsen, Vida Guerra…) His list is legendary. But it's alright– he's not married, unlike Tiger who cheated right after his wife became pregnant.
Until he says "I'm engaged," I won't believe he is though. Although I will say he's been w/ Minka longer than any of his other girlfriends, so we'll see. I'll believe it when I see it.
Wonder if Derek is letting Minka in on any of the decorating designs in the new David Island pad across the bay in Tampa.
The home is going up fast, and looks amazing from the water.
I am expecting more than a few Yankee fans to cruise by on their boatd near the shoreline during Tampa Bay Rays versus New York Yankees series in 2010.
Maybe catch a glimpse of the futre Mrs Jeter sunning by the boat slip, or maybe Derek doing his daily workout through the panes of glass in the gym area.
And to think, pitchers and catcher report in just over 30-some days.
Rays Renegade
Wonderful writeup and pictures! I hope your grandma gets better. I don't know if you have or I dont remember, but have you interviewed your grandma about the old days with the Yankees and written about it?
I may be a Red Sox fan, but Jeter is one of the Yankees that has always been respected by Sox fans, and he really is the man. He's had so many great moments and truly is an exemplar of class. He's just so cool about everything and on top of that, he's an amazing player.
Nice post and pictures!
-Fenway Bleacher Creature
So sorry to hear about your grandmother! You've written about what a big Yankee fan she is, so I'm sure she's happy that you granted her wish and posted about Jeter. I hope she's able to come home from the hospital soon. I'm not convinced Jeter is really marrying Minka – at least not on that November date that was publicized. Sounded fishy to me.
Prayers for you grandma. She must have spirit like you do so she will be fine.
I love Derek Jeter. I thought he was the best looking player on the Yankee team when I saw them in person last season. He is awesome!!
I am so sorry about your grandmother. My prayers go out to her.
Very nice entry! Derek Jeter is a classic example of superstar. I love how this guy shows so much energy and great sportsmanship. You guys must be very lucky to have him as a wonderful captain.
I'm not too concerned. Not alone does he assume to be fine, but his role is almost accessory at this point so if he were to absence some time I don't anticipate it would be a big deal.

text: Aren't you tired of battling dryness every single winter? Then spending Spring trying to undo it? It's not your fault; between having the heat on at home, in the car, space heaters under our desks… our skin doesn't stand a chance. Until now! I learned this trick from a yoga instructor in New Mexico over the holidays; you know, one of those women who looks twenty years younger than her age. I was so embarrassed when she walked over to check my form and my legs were so scaly no matter how much lotion I piled on. I had to say something and she nonchalantly told me to always apply body oil before showering instead of after. At first it sounded bizarre but she was totally right! One of the most drying things that we do to ourselves is taking a hot shower. The outer layer of our skin (the epidermis) is made up of keratin and oil to protect the keratin. The hot water temperature softens the oil layer until it melts and washes away. Yes, switching to a moisturizing body wash is a definite must. But in the winter we tend to take not only hotter showers but longer ones too and a moisturizing body wash isn't enough to keep your skin from getting dry. I'm sure you're already using a moisturizing body wash but still noticing how much drier your skin is in the winter time. So try this technique like our model Alyssa above and let us know if it works for you too! (more…)

Breathing Heavy at Work
By Health Day
Breathing not coming so easy this season? Could your work be to blame?
Asthma is one of the most common diseases in the U.S., affecting nearly 19 million American adults. Certain occupational exposures are associated with an increased risk of developing the disease. Although there are well-established recommendations for handling chemicals encountered on the job, as well as a variety of protective equipment available, exposures at work are still being blamed.
In a new study published in The Annals of Occupational Hygiene, researchers in Northern Europe tracked cases of new-onset asthma. Among more than 13,000 (KEY: 13,284) randomly selected adults in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Estonia from 1980 to 2000, 429 were diagnosed with asthma. A significant increase in asthma diagnoses was seen for men and women exposed to certain chemicals.
High risk occupations included spray painters exposed to certain paint chemicals, plumbers who handle adhesives and foam insulation, and cleaners who handle some detergents. Hair stylists who handle chemicals in bleach and nail technicians handling fast-acting glue were also deemed at higher risk.
If you suffer from asthma, or work in one of these so-called higher-risk fields, talk to your doctor about how to best protect yourself.

- Title
- Medea theory
- Author(s)
- Tofts, Darren
- Abstract
- To pursue poststructuralism to its limit is not to achieve closure, to culminate or come to the end of something. Rather, it is to acknowledge the force of the particulate; to no longer promise wholes, but to, rather, yield to the dissemination of bits. When Medea scatters the bits and pieces of her brother's body on the Black Sea as a decoy to aid her escape with Jason and the Golden Fleece, she is the fugitive presence of deconstruction. Her means of evasion casts her as the emblem of a theory of medeation in which there is arrival at a destination, but at a price: the inevitability of contingency and entropy. Medea will do whatever is necessary to secure escape or advancement. She represents the extremes of promiscuous, miscreant behaviour that would befall writing in the Socratic theory of media. Towards the end of the play Medea appears to Jason in a chariot drawn by dragons with the bodies of her dead children. Having murdered them in a symbolic act of vengeance against her husband, she stands guilty of infanticide: the vulnerable child killed by its own parent. Long before Gerald Graff's identification of the postmodern moment in literature, here was writing against itself.

Pain bites into Portuguese life as crisis deepensBy BARRY HATTON
The Associated Press | April 09,2013AP Photo
Elena Baptista, left, serves a meal to her daughter Vania, 12, left, son Joao, 7, and husband Pedro, partially seen on the right, in their houses kitchen/living room in Loures, outside Lisbon.LISBON, Portugal Serving a frugal lunch in their kitchen not much bigger than a bathroom, Pedro and Elena Baptista spoon stewed chicken feet onto their boiled potatoes and leave the slightly meatier wings for their 12-year-old daughter, Vania, and 7-year-old son, Joao.
Pedro Baptista, a stocky 37-year-old, has found work as a part-time window cleaner but his wife Elena, 35, has been on welfare for almost a year after losing her job in a school canteen. Scraping by on a monthly household income of $840 and constantly going cap-in-hand to charities and family members has sapped their confidence.
It seems that every time Europes leaders appear to have contained the continents three-year-old crisis over too much government debt, it erupts again witness the recent woes in Cyprus. Across Europe, the long-held belief that the state will always provide for its citizens well-being is vanishing.
In return for rescue loans, governments across the region are slashing spending and raising taxes. However, the austerity has a knock-on effect of choking the growth needed to pull countries out of their nosedive. Despite the acute hardship, Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho said Sunday that his government must cut even deeper. Thats because the Constitutional Court last week struck down some austerity measures aimed at government workers and pensioners, denying the government more than 1.3 billion euros in anticipated savings.
Meanwhile, the debt crisis risks jumping from Cyprus to Portugal. The creditors who lent Portugal 78 billion euros in a bailout two years ago are demanding that the government prune spending by another 4 billion euros in 2014 and 2015. If Portugal doesnt comply, it could be denied the next installment of its bailout.
Portugals ordeal has begun to send shivers across Europe, even as the pain becomes hard to bear at home. Checking over her bank statement showing her monthly pension payment, Maria Luisa Cabral stared silently at the slip of paper. When she finally spoke, the 66-year-old former librarians voice shook and tears welled.
Thats about 10 percent less each month, she said. I just feel really angry.
Portugals elderly have been hit hard by austerity. Taxes and cuts in previous years had already cut Cabrals income by 20 percent. This year, the government will take another bite out of pensions over 1,350 euros a month.
The Portuguese charity AMI International Medical Assistance was set up almost three decades ago as a rapid response organization for catastrophes abroad. Now the emergency is at home.
Before 2008, up to 8,000 people a year sought AMIs help in Portugal. In 2012, it was almost 16,000.
Ana Martins, AMIs national director for the past 18 years, says people seeking aid used to ask for help finding a job or resolving social or family problems.
These days, they ask for food.
Margarida Mendes, who has run the center since it was set up in 1994 to help homeless people, says her work has changed a lot in recent years. Now its mostly families seeking support.
Her work, she says, can be distressing, and the most poignant episodes involve young children. Recently, a small child jumped up and down and screamed in delight when he saw a packet of cheap, plain cookies sticking out of the top of the familys monthly parcel of food aid. That small scene got to Mendes: You think to yourself, What kind of country is this where that sort of thing happens?
The Baptista family comes to Olaias to pick up food parcels. They contain cooking oil, cans of sausages, flour. They also get second-hand clothes and school books.
The financial crisis capsized their lives. Just five years ago they were together pulling in (euro) 1,600 a month close to the average income for a couple in Portugal. Today they live on little over a third of that.
Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar recently conceded that straightening out Portugals finances will take decades and will require the sacrifices of a generation.
The Baptista family belongs to that generation.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight. Full StoryOXON HILL, Md. Far from the Las Vegas Strip, MGM Resorts International opens its $1. Full Story

Sewer rate increase process initiated
MARTINSBURG – Martinsburg officials have begun the application process to increase the city's sewer rates to pay for a new wastewater treatment plant that will comply with strict new pollution limits issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
At their meeting Thursday, City Council members approved a contract with CoxHollidaPrice LLP to complete an accountant's report of the city's sewer department through June 30, 2012.
The report is required by the West Virginia Public Service Commission for the rate application.
Council members approved up to $17,000 for the report plus an hourly rate if the accounting firm must testify before the PSC during its rate hearings. The vote was 5-2. Councilmen Donald Anderson and Gregg Wachtel voted no.
CoxHollidaPrice will analyze the sewer department's revenues and current expenses, City Manager Mark Baldwin explained.
The analysis will then figure the future expense of paying for the new sewer treatment plant based on an estimated 20-year bond for $33 million at 3 percent interest, he said.
Also, the analysis will take into account the operation and maintenance of the new plant plus personnel costs to run it, he said.
Some future expansion projects will be factored in as well, he said.
Based on those numbers, the rate needed to pay for and operate the new plant will be established, which is what the city will submit in its rate application to the PSC, Baldwin said.
The application is expected to be submitted before the end of June.
The total estimated cost of the new sewer plant is $49.7 million.
The city also is expecting to get a grant through Senate Bill 245. SB245 was passed by the state Legislature in 2011.
It sets aside $6 million a year for 30 years in surplus lottery revenues to help pay for construction and improvements to several sewer plants throughout the greater, eight-county Eastern Panhandle to meet the EPA's stringent new pollution limits for sewer treatment plants in the Chesapeake By watershed.
The Eastern Panhandle is in the Potomac River watershed. The Potomac is one of the bay's major tributaries.
How much money will be available through SB245 has not been determined. It could amount to between 35 and 45 percent of the new plant's cost.
The more money the city can obtain through a SB245 grant, the less it will have to borrow and, therefore, the less the rate will have to be increased. City officials estimate getting $16 million in SB245 funds to calculate how much money will have to borrowed to build the sewer plant.
Preliminary estimates are for Martinsburg's sewer rates doubling at the least and tripling at the most, officials have said.
Now, the city's minimum rate is $14.46 per 4,000 gallons per month.
The city also provides sewer service to the Wheatland subdivision. The minimum rate for Wheatland customers currently is $23.44 per 4,000 gallons per month. That rate would be increased to match the city's other rate.

Appeals court hears Martins Ferry schools case
ST. CLAIRSVILLE The Seventh District Court of Appeals convened Wednesday in the office of Belmont County Common Pleas Court Judge John M. Solovan II.
Judges Gene Donofrio, Joseph J. Vukovich, and Mary DeGenaro presided.
Among the cases on the docket was an appeal of a ruling between The Ohio Association of Public School Employees and the Martins Ferry City School District Board of Education.
Some two years ago, members of the Martins Ferry Education Association accepted a five-percent reduction in pay at the request of the board of education. Members of the district's non-teaching staff – members of the Ohio Public School Employees Union – never agreed to the cut and sought to fight the reduction. An arbiter ruled in OAPSE's favor.
The school board argued that the arbiter of the three-year contract overstepped her authority regarding collective bargaining when she ruled in favor of OAPSE. The board of education appealed to the common pleas level and the decision was vacated and reversed.
Speaking before the court of appeals Wednesday, OAPSE's representative argued that the arbiter found the collective bargaining agreement was specific as to wages. OAPSE representatives argued that the decision was vacated based on a precedent was not subject to collective bargaining law.
OAPSE contends that a case involving contract law should not have been used. They contend that the arbitrator's decision was not contrary to law and the collective bargaining agreement and request the trial court's verdict be reversed.
Opposing counsel argued that the teachers union accepted the wage proposal. The OAPSE representative pointed out that the teachers have separate collective bargaining.
The board's representative argued that the lower court exercised the proper level of review. The basis for the decision was the ruling that the arbitrator exceeded her power by modifying the collective bargaining agreement and inserting language to the effect that statutory right to implement uniform reduction did not exist.
Counsel argued that the wage freeze included in the contract did not cover that matter, since the possibility of a wage re-opener had been included in the last two years, adding that the rights given to the school boards by the general assembly could not be taken away by an arbiter.
The OAPSE representatives countered that the statute should not have been applied to the case.
Judges raised the question of how they could uphold a decision by an arbitrator using the wrong statute. The OAPSE representative said the statute allows for unilateral reduction.
A ruling may be delivered in three to six months.

A husband shouts a message of love to his wife in a Tokyo park as part of an annual tradition in which normally reserved men declare their feelings in the most vocal manner.
TOKYO — Love was in the air in a Tokyo park as normally staid Japanese husbands gathered to scream out their feelings for their wives, promising gratitude and extra tight hugs.
With modesty and reticence traditionally valued over outspokenness, expressing deeper feelings such as love has long been hard in Japan.
That's why dozens of Japanese men gather once a year ahead of Jan. 31, which in Japanese is a play on the words for "beloved wife," to let their feelings fly.
Declarations at the Tuesday night event ranged from a simple "I'll love you forever" to expressions of gratitude for homemade boxed lunches.
"I'm sorry that I've gained weight over the last seven years," a suit-clad man yelled. "But that's because the meals you cook are so delicious."
The event, now in its fifth year, was thought up by Kiyotaka Yamana with the support of a local flower shop to urge Japanese men to show their affection in more explicit ways.
Kiyoshi Ota / EPA
Husbands, shouting in unison, declare their love for their wives as part of an event that urges normally staid Japanese men to show their romantic side.
"The economy is getting better in Japan, and I see a lot of Japanese married couples getting more active in deepening their relationships," Yamana said.
Yamana founded the Japan Aisaika Organization, which promotes a culture of "Aisaika" or "adoring husbands." The group's website says it created Beloved Wives Day to urge Japanese husbands to "get home by 8 p.m. and say thanks to their wives for all they do."
At Tuesday's event, wives in the audience laughed and clapped, especially when one man got down on his knees to offer his wife a bouquet.
"He's very fabulous and manly today," said Yuko Todo, 33, after husband Takeshi's performance. "It just reminded me how macho he used to be — I'd forgotten that in the eight years we've been married. My heart pounded."

Schoolyard habitats
January 18, 2012 —
WAYNE COUNTY, PA — "I believe schools often don't realize what they have to work with right on their own grounds," contends John Jose of Otter Creek Environmental Education Services based in Beach Lake.
To seize those opportunities, Jose has begun working with schools in Wayne County to help them expand the learning opportunities available outside their classroom walls. In doing so, Jose performs evaluations that take into account a school's grounds from both a habitat and an educational perspective.
With nearly 30 years' experience as a biologist and environmental educator, Jose brings both perspectives together to customize effective, safe, economical and enjoyable programming that takes advantage of what individual school campuses have to offer.
"I see an important part of my job as showing them the habitats they have available and how to utilize them to their best advantage, from an environmental education perspective," said Jose.
Connecting students with the natural world provides for an immersive, hands-on experience of what a textbook can only show in words and pictures. "It extends that learning into real life applications when students get involved in monitoring and collecting data on a bluebird box trail, growing their own vegetable and perennial gardens, or learning the winter ecology and habitat needs of wildlife that inhabit regional woodlands through track and sign interpretive programs," said Jose.
While completing his "Schoolyard Habitat Evaluations," Jose produces documents designed to provide each school with a template to guide them in the development of suitable on-campus programming. The evaluations identify and characterize habitats on school grounds as either unusable, "program-ready" or in need of improvement to safely support environmental education.
After working with Stourbridge Primary Center in Honesdale, the school now has in-situ woodland ecology, raised-bed gardening, bluebird nest boxes and tracking programs in place.
Jose is currently producing an evaluation for R.D. Wilson Elementary School and recently completed one for the new Evergreen Elementary School, both of the Western Wayne School District.
One suggestion for Evergreen is a Viola Growing Project that would allow children to grow the plants from seed, beautify their campus while the flowers are in bloom and make use of harvested flowers in art projects such as greeting cards that could be given to family members or sold as a fundraiser.

Envisioning a More Serene Old Faithful Area
No trip to Yellowstone is complete, especially for first-time visitors, without seeing Old Faithful erupt. On any given summer day, 25,000 eager visitors flock to the Old Faithful area. However, the wonder they experience in the presence of fascinating hot springs and the iconic geyser is often tempered by frustration. Finding a parking spot, lack of shade from the hot sun, navigating through crowds, and locating the features they most want to see can be more exhausting than exhilarating.
As the most popular destination in Yellowstone, the Old Faithful area receives around 90% of the Park's total annual visitation of more than 3 million people. In addition to the geyser itself, many visitors want to spend time in the area to see the Old Faithful Inn, a National Historic Landmark and the grand centerpiece of the Old Faithful Historic District. Beginning next summer, visitors will also be welcomed to a brand new attraction -- a state-of-the-art Old Faithful Visitor Education Center.
With this popularity come problems with congestion and unintended impacts to the natural landscape. The planners, who originally developed the area in the early 1900s, could scarcely have envisioned the number of visitors being served today.
To address these challenges, Yellowstone National Park, with assistance from the Bozeman, Montana architecture firm JLF & Associates, invited students and members of the academic and professional planning and design communities to participate in a five-day charrette—a specific design technique to tap into interdisciplinary experts and encourage synergistic, creative ideas and solutions. The purpose of the charrette, entitled "Re-choreographing Old Faithful," was not to make changes that would compromise the historic integrity of the area, but rather to allow for improved crowd flow and a more pleasant visitor experience.
Five professional design firms and illustrators* from coast to coast and architecture students and professors from Montana State University answered the call to join the Park's Comprehensive Planning and Design staff for the charrette last month. All of the experts waived their usual fees, and the Yellowstone Park Foundation secured private donations to cover other expenses related to the design process.
The goal was to discuss the challenges facing the Old Faithful vicinity and prepare a visionary statement and design solutions. At the beginning of the five-day process, Yellowstone Superintendent Lewis addressed the charrette teams.
"The Old Faithful area has a long and rich history of hosting visitors, and the world's largest concentration of geysers and hot springs is one of the resources of which Yellowstone is most proud," said Lewis. "But as a result of the spectacular sights the Old Faithful area has to offer, it can be crowded, confusing, and intense. This week will be filled with opportunities to restore the sense of calm for visitors and their families within this magnet for visitation."
The teams came up with proposals that addressed the following priorities:
Intrinsik Architecture, a distinguished planning, design and building firm in Bozeman, Montana, was one of the firms enlisted to participate. They came with a unique perspective from having visited Old Faithful many times over the years with a variety of guests. Rob Pertzborn, a partner at Intrinsik, calls the problems facing the area complex and challenging. Yet he considers the iconic Old Faithful the most significant site on which his firm has ever been asked to work.
"During the charrette, our team was watching a particularly long and spectacular eruption of Castle Geyser, while seeing mobs of people just standing around the Old Faithful boardwalk waiting for it to erupt. They couldn't see Castle Geyser and probably didn't even know it was there," said Pertzborn. "If people were more aware of the other equally awe-inspiring features to see in the area -- both natural and cultural -- we would have less of a surge of pedestrian and vehicle traffic flowing away immediately after each Old Faithful eruption. Visitors would significantly improve their experience by exploring what the Upper Geyser Basin truly has to offer."
Some of the ideas generated included improving walking and biking opportunities (see drawing, above right), enhancing signage and other ways to help people plan their visit, providing a shuttle connecting facilities and thermal areas, orienting visitors to the rest of the thermal features found in the Upper Geyser Basin, creating a native plant garden (see drawing, below), potential new uses for the vacant Photo Shop building, and reestablishing the sense of grandeur of arriving at the Old Faithful area (see drawing, above left).
Support from the Yellowstone Park Foundation will fund a final report about the charrette, which will help inform the Comprehensive Planning and Design team's activities in the following years.
Comprehensive Planning and Design Chief Eleanor Williams Clark, who coordinated and led the charrette, is enthusiastic about its outcome. "I hope that when the National Park Service celebrates its Centennial in 2016, the Old Faithful area will be providing visitors with a magical experience befitting Yellowstone and its importance in the worldwide national park movement" said Clark.

March 8, 2012 —
For something completely different, a song springs to mind as I ponder the last weeks and all that has transpired. With almost two full months under my belt since being released from the hospital, languishing on the couch (which is now in a secret, undisclosed location) no longer seems like a viable option. Now that I have an Internet connection, my world has once again opened its doors and invited me to participate. So I bit the proverbial bullet and ventured forth—with help from others, of course!
It seemed only natural that my first foray into the Upper Delaware Valley should lead straight to the Dancing Cat (www.dancingcatsaloon.com [2]), my home away fromhome. Having received a multitude of offers for rides to and fro, I gratefully accepted two (thank you, Gabby Allen and Jamie Aitken IV), put on my big boy pants (ouch) and shuffled off, determined to spend an hour or two with like-minded individuals, out to catch one of my favorite local bands: the New Kings (featuring Peter Florance).
According to their Facebook page, the New Kings "emerged from the Riff Kings, now a four-piece combo with Peter Florance on guitar, Cat Wilson on vocals, Don Knothe on upright bass and Josh Florance on drums. This new lineup has created a raw and upbeat band sound that can expand on Peter's guitar solos and explore new songs." Even though Wilson was MIA Saturday night (missed you, Cat!), the joint was jumpin' (as usual) and a steady stream of New Kings fans and admirers filled the dance floor as Florance, all-grown-up son Josh and bassist Knothe did their thing as only they can do.
We denizens of the Catskills are so fortunate to live in a region steeped in musical history, and Dancing Cat proprietor Stacy Cohen constantly strives (and succeeds, IMHO) to keep it alive via her posse of talented musicians, all of whom stream through the place enriching our lives with the sound of music.
As I held court in the center of the room, dozens of well-wishers stopped by to say hello and congratulate me for getting out ("I'm back in the saddle again/out where a friend is a friend"), providing me with a warm, fuzzy feeling that lingers. I allowed their sentiment to wash over me as I (finally!) broke out the "old .44" (I mean camera) and snapped away, feeling the familiar thrill of capturing the moment (Whoopi-ty-aye-yay!) for posterity.
Not yet able to actually dance, I settled for "rockin' to and fro" and reveled in all of the attention, including Florance and Cohen making a bit of a fuss, bringing me up on stage and exuberantly acknowledging my attendance ("look everybody—The River Reporter's own Jonathan Fox is back in da house!") as I waved and blushed ever so slightly. Not waiting to be asked, I requested one of my favorite New Kings covers ("Secret Agent Man"), and the band obliged with its usual flair, once again bringing down the house with its energetic spin on one of the many classics the group reinvents for a new generation of enthusiasts.
Although slightly delirious over my newfound freedom, it did not escape my attention that my not-so-secret stalker Nora Brown had slinked in the back door (probably seeking to snag yet another by-line) with husband George (as always) in tow. Instead of pretending that I hadn't noticed, I invited them to join my table, assuring Ms. Brown that "I got this one covered" and proceeded to show her how a camera actually works, while acknowledging that I was "on to her" after last week's (slightly too good) fill-in reporting, which I had (in hindsight) foolishly asked her to do.
Brown batted her eyelashes at me and attempted flattery, but she wasn't going to fool me again. I informed her that I "had it all on film" and suggested she sit back and enjoy the New Kings like the other spectators, pretending that we were still friends, while secretly harboring jealousy over her numerous talents. Then and there, I whipped out my trusty iPad and searched for interpretation of "back in the saddle" which, as suspected, is direct. The website www.freedictionary.com [3] simply delineated the definition: "Doing something you stopped doing for a period of time."
Fresh out of Gene Autry's "lowly jimsonweed," I sneaked out for a guilty-pleasure cigarette and breathed a smoke-filled sigh of relief, finally feeling that I might actually be well on my way to recovery, or as the old song goes, back in the saddle again!

Naturally. As I made a reply post to Jeff ( excuse the commotion on your thread Jeff) I thought it polite to add a welcome. I do not go around the board to do welcomes unless I try to make a contribution at the same time. (for what it's worth). Since when do we not have opinions?
The irritation was mostly about the useless quote. (?)
Irritation on top a recently taken out of context part of a private message. I regard PM's as strictly private not as public messages.
That said, Jenny Jenny, you can have hairless cookies and eat them too, even if you don't play nicely.

This thread is not in the pm section.(Yes, excuse the commotion
on your thread,Jeff, since my harmless welcome has upset the
resident site police.) Hence your comment was
not a private message. If you wanted to make it to Jeff why
not send a PM, not post it in this thread?
Use of a smilie is done all the time without any
comment which YOU might consider "worthwhile".
Again, who made you Awad police deciding who is and who
is not "breaking the rules". And where are the standards
posted as to what is worthwhile and what is worthless according
to you?
I can find a lot of your comments simply "useless" as
well. And what I said about 'opinions' still stands.

Come now Rhuby, you know she won't do anything.
I've tried before as well, and she would do nothing.
I've been castigated before and told to get thicker
skin, I don't flee anymore. So now I am on ignore
and recommend that form of resolution.

Greetings—sitting on your bank, listening to the music of a forest that is waking up from a long winter's nap.
Your borders, thick with green, songs of spring, and hungry whitetails filling their bellies.
Sentimental memories of assorted bungalows and tiny triangle-shaped houses peeking through the fields and woods.
Trips downstream never get tiring.
I sometimes imagine your empty river bed—a beautiful stone basin, with gradual deeper dips, and a wonderful, uneven and changing surface. Tranquil eddies, full of life and birth, gently wrap around our bodies when we take a dip. In your arms, we feel safe and nurtured, taken care of—the way our mothers once did when we were in the womb.
At your water's edge, and in shallow paths, lie solitary gigantic rocks, and clusters of boulders—some of them landmarks, and some possibly have spiritual meaning in the Native American culture. They welcome us, standing still—like sacred monuments, left from the last glacier.
We can't help but feel inspired by your scenery as we float. Like a loving friend, you give us all the time we need. Your soothing voice helps us to forgive ourselves of all the mistakes we made last week, last year, and since we were born. The wounds in our hearts heal a little bit more each time—because we still miss all the ones who said goodbye before we were ready.
It feels wonderful when you take special care and guide us to extraordinary places. Super-sized bald eagle nests make us smile and suddenly we feel privileged. Their white heads and tails blend with cotton ball clouds—and we always stare—satisfied, when one shows up. It is amazing to catch sight of this bird soaring to heights that disappear into your blue sky... They seem to be on their way to heaven. What a marvelous gift! Because we come away from the sight feeling connected with something special—something big, perhaps—connected with the spirit and wise one within ourselves.
Our favorite areas to rest on a hot day have a gentle slope, just the right amount of sunshine and a slight current. We take a ritual swim, and we feel blessed—baptized—and loved, never wanting to leave, even though there are always more of these spectacular places to stop.
You have always been important to earth, man, and the natural world. The old river towns speak highly about your extensive history—of rich farmland and famous battles won and lost on your borders, and the coal miners who traveled through on barges in canals.
Each river town is more charming than the last, but it is you that makes the towns what they are.
A trip downstream is priceless, but costs little or nothing.
It is a glimpse of everything that is all right in the world. It keeps us going, keeps us giving, and keeps us believing in something greater than ourselves.

Have a Happy BOD Christmas!
Here is an old Christmas song to warm your hearts:
OH B-O-D (to the tune of O Tannenbaum)
Oh B-O-D, Oh B-O-D, You are so biochemical
A little sample and then some seed. So plain yet diabolical
To set you up is such a breeze. Just five short days at 20 degrees
Oh B-O-D, Oh B-O-D. Pray the blanks don't deplete on me.
First get the bottles all lined up. Then calibrate the meter
Aerate the water; prep the seed. And don't forget the Winkler
Pipet your samples in "just so". Make sure they have enough D.O.
Now load the samples on a cart. Incubate them five days in the dark.
If Wednesday morn you put them in. Next Monday all your woes begin
All the dilutions that you tried. Were either too low or else too high
All your controls are out of range. The calculations just too strange
Oh B-O-D you are so great. The test that we all love to hate

|Title: Recreation Event Fees (Forest Service Manual, Chapter 2720)
|Abstract: The Forest Service is publishing a proposed directive to amend Forest Service Manual 2721.49 regarding the basis of determining fees for recreation events. Currently, fees are based on a percentage of gross revenues. The proposed fee system would establish a fee based on the number of people involved in the event. This modification in the fee system would result in fees similar to the Bureau of Land Management for this type of use. Additionally, the modification would reduce the administrative workload, for both holders and the Government, associated with the auditing of records for permits that generate less than $100,000 in revenue.

Many parents worry about how to protect their children from stranger abduction and violence, but they overlook one of the biggest threats to their child's safety and well-being - their own home. The Baby Center Medical Advisory Board reports that children ages one to four are more likely to be injured by fire, burns, drowning, choking, poisoning, or a fall (in that order) than by a stranger's violence. The following information is offered to assist in childproofing your home. But, as childproofer consultant and expert Anne Altman states: "The best child proofing device is supervision." Before Your Baby Arrives
There is a lot to think about even before your child is born. Use this checklist to help prepare for your newborn:
Before Your Baby Crawls
On average, babies crawl at eight months, which means many get moving even earlier. A crawling baby will soon start pulling up, too, which means counters and other surfaces are no longer beyond reach. Use this checklist to help you prepare for your quick-moving youngster, and then crawl around on your hands and knees to see if you've missed anything:

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

When Caner became dean of the seminary in 2004 he took the name "Baptist" out. The rationale given for reinserting it I found mildly amusing, but again, not worth much more than a raised eyebrow. He wrote,
[S]ince 2004, much has changed, both here at Liberty University and in the Southern Baptist Convention. Too many schools have Baptist in their name but not in their doctrine. Some have drifted into liberalism and cultural relativism; still others remain orthodox, but have drifted toward non-Baptist reformed doctrine and cultural isolationism. For us, this was our line in the sand. We want to build bridges to a lost world without burning the bridges of our doctrinal heritage. We are putting Baptist back in our name, and taking back a term that has been misused [emphasis added].He further explained their vision:
We want to train students from across the evangelical spectrum, in the classic Baptistic stance of our Anabaptist tradition and Sandy Creek revivalistic heritage.I remember thinking at the time that if Caner is the one defining the "classic Baptist stance" of our heritage at Liberty then any student there who wants an accurate understanding of Baptist history should definitely make sure he has access to the internet so he can verify what he is taught by reading primary sources that are now readily available online.
I was content to keep these thoughts to myself and had forgotten about them until Wednesday night. While sitting in the Newark airport due to weather-related flight delays I took the time to listen to an interview with Caner conducted by Wes Kenney over at SBC Today. It is a very good interview. Kenney does a good job of raising issues pertinent to Southern Baptist life in a very brief span. The whole interview lasts about 17 minutes. I encourage you to listen to it.
Some of what Caner says is encouraging and informative, such as the story of his conversion and the account of how Dr. Falwell "tricked" him into becoming the Dean of the seminary at Liberty in 2004. He describes the recent transitions of leadership at Liberty University and Thomas Road Baptist Church how smoothly they have been due to Falwell's clear instructions that his sons were to take over responsibilities upon his death.
Caner then explains the reason behind the recent reversion to including "Baptist" in Liberty's name.
I am a classic Sandy-Creeker-Anabaptist-history-Baptist and there just didn't seem to be a voice for that on the east coast. There is a great [voice for this view] in Southwestern Seminary....But on the east coast we had guys building bridges toward Geneva.This is an obvious slap at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary's co-sponsorship with Founders Ministries of the Building Bridges conference last November (get the audio here). I suppose this means that I could claim to have a hand in the renaming of the largest Fundamentalist seminary in the world. :-)
Commenting on the Building Bridges: Southern Baptists and Calvinism Conference, Caner commends Malcolm Yarnell for doing a "masterful job of defining the rest of us," by which he means those who are not part of the "small" and "tiny" portion of the SBC that are not committed to the doctrines of grace but who are the "stump-winders"(?) and "saw-dust-trail boys."
Dr. Caner both hates and misrepresents historic Calvinism. He is concerned with the undeniable resurgence of evangelical Calvinism among Baptists. I can certainly understand that and have no quarrel with his desire to debate renounce it. I do regret, however, that he consistently handles the historical data so poorly.
He can call himself a "Sandy-Creeker," but at some point he must deal with the abundant evidence that within the Sandy Creek, Separate Baptist tradition there is a significant regard for Calvinistic doctrines. Even his mentor, Dr. Paige Patterson, publicly acknowledged this fact in the dialogue he held with Dr. Mohler at the 2006 Southern Baptist Pastors' Conference.
Caner further muddies the waters and exposes both a pugilistic demeanor and untrustworthy historical assessments when he makes this observation about the current resurgence of Calvinism in the SBC:
The whole fight started when they started saying, " ...we've always been Calvinists, both strands [presumbably he means both Charleston and Sandy Creek traditions]." That's a lie. That's not just a misstatement. That's just an outright historical fallacy....To say that ... Southern Baptists have always been in one way or another, Calvinists, is not only short-sited, it is just poor theology and poor history.First, who is fighting? There are some in the SBC who are drooling for a fight over Calvinism. That tends to be endemic to certain strands of Fundamentalism. Without some boogeyman to battle they are without a raison d'etre. I am hopeful that a growing number of Southern Baptists are seeing through this tendency to demonize those with whom we disagree and not allow those who are itching for a fight to dominate the denominational dialogue. That was a large part of the motivation for the Building Bridges conference.
Second, who has ever said that Southern Baptists have always been Calvinists? This is a very unhelpful misstatement at best and gross misrepresentation at worst. Of course Southern Baptists have not always been Calvinists in a universal sense. No one believes that. But the evidence overwhelmingly indicates that this convention was founded by those who affirmed the sovereignty of God's grace in salvation.
Timothy George has noted that each of the 293 delegates who met in Augusta, Georgia in 1845 to establish the Southern Baptist Convention came from churches or associations that embraced the Chaleston/Philadephia/Second London Baptist Confession of Faith. Caner may not like this fact, but it will take more than gratuitous assertions to make it go away.
The final excerpt from Caner's interview illustrates the cautions that one ought to have in following his historical assessments. When asked about whether Calvin would approve the so-called 5 points of Calvinism, Caner made the following historical gaffes while trying to distinguish Calvin from the Calvinists.
During the life of Calvin a guy named Amyraut...Moise Amyraut said Calvin believed in general atonement. And his fiercest opponent was Theodore Beza, the guy who took over for Calvin.So historian Caner would have us believe that Amyraut disagreed with Calvin during Calvin's lifetime and was fiercely opposed by Beza. Calvin (1509-1564) died 32 years before Amyraut was born and Beza (1519-1605) died when Amyraut was 11. Those must have been some fierce debates between the octogenarian Beza and the pre-adolescent Amyraut!
It was Shakespeare who wrote, "What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." In the final analysis I do not care much whether an educational institution calls itself Baptist or not. What matters to me is that those who lead and teach in such institutions be honest with their subjects and not try to rewrite history simply because they don't like the way it happened.

Press release - AB Volvo
The Volvo Group has no plans to acquire the French company Nexter, a manufacturer of products for the defense industry. Information reported in the Swedish media is absolutely untrue.
An article in Dagens Industri on February 7 described the possibility of the Volvo Group merging or combining some of its operations with Nexter.
"The article is based on an interview with a person who is incorrectly named as the President of the French company Panhard, which Volvo acquired in 2012," says Mårten Wikforss, Executive Vice President Corporate Communication at Volvo. "The person in question stepped down from the management of Panhard in November 2012 and he has since had consultancy assignments. He does not represent the Volvo Group and the strategy described is very far from the truth."
In October 2012, the transaction between Renault Trucks Defense, part of the Volvo Group's Governmental sales business area, and the French vehicle manufacturer Panhard was concluded.
The company specializes in the manufacture of light military vehicles. Renault Trucks Defense has delivered trucks and other vehicles to the French defense industry for several decades.

Norwich gets contract to help fight hackers
NORTHFIELD A nonprofit organization controlled by Norwich University is getting a $9.9 million federal contract to continue work on a cyberwarfare gaming system that helps banks and others learn how to respond to hacking attacks.
Norwichs Applied Research Institutes will use the money to further refine the program so more private and public groups can plan for computer attacks through coordinated exercises.
The challenge of learning to respond to such attacks is that there wont necessarily be a concrete action that is easy to recognize, such as when emergency responders stage mock accidents, or the military stages an attack to test its response, said Phil Susmann, president of the Research Institute.
In a cyber-event, theres not going to be there was a bomb, respond, Susmann said. Instead, it could show up as an apparently innocuous computer problem or, in the financial sector, an issue with trading.
The program, known as the Distributed Environment for Critical Infrastructure Decision-making Exercises program, or DECIDE, helps organizations recognize that something is happening and respond appropriately.
The first time they encounter these types of circumstances shouldnt be in a live event, Susmann said. It should take place so that you can make sure that your response plans are adaptable and flexible.
Norwich will use the money from the latest contract to continue developing the system used by financial institutions and other organizations to respond to attacks on their computer systems.
Advancements in DECIDE will allow multiple organizations to take part in attack simulations. Earlier versions have already been used to simulate electronic attacks.
Norwich offers undergraduate degrees in computer security and information assurance and a masters degree program in information assurance. Applied Research Institutes is a separate nonprofit organization controlled by the university, said Norwich President Richard Schneider.
The latest contract is expected to create about a dozen jobs.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

In the far corners of Gov. Mark Dayton's budget are lesser-heralded changes that would alter how Minnesota residents pay for and interact with their government from cradle to grave.
These fine-print details won't provoke the clashes of the governor's controversial sales or income tax plans. But they could dictate how the state tackles childhood obesity, stretches the availability of broadband Internet and disposes of old paint and carpet.
The recommendations are as consequential as opening public health insurance programs to 80,000 more people to as small-bore as giving the Science Museum $11,000 to foster field trips and other student outreach for schools in all 87 counties.
New or increased fees are sprinkled throughout the package. Insurance companies, mining prospectors and parents of newborns are among those who would pay more.

Jan. 20, 2011—With Valentine's Day just around the corner, North Central College's production of "Spike Heels" provides a perfect interlude for those who know what it's like to fall in and out of love.
The student-directed production will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10, 11 and 12 in North Central College's Madden Theatre at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave., Naperville. Tickets are $5/adults and $3/students and senior citizens; call the North Central College Box Office at 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit northcentralcollege.edu/showtix. Note: This program is not suitable for children under 16. The show contains strong language and suggestive material.
North Central junior Courtney Ohler of Normal, Ill., will direct this rendition of Theresa Rebeck's play as part of the College's Student Director Series. Ohler says, "'Spike Heels' is a show that deals with complex issues. It's about feminism and sexism. Empowerment. Weaknesses. It's all about relationships and life in general."
Starting out with harsh criticism and backlash, "Spike Heels" has become a prominent, critically acclaimed play. It deals with the changing roles of men and women in a rising feminist society, shown through the main character Georgie and the relationships she encounters along the way. Rebeck, who wrote this contemporary show, is a widely produced playwright, novelist and a producer and writer of films and television shows, including "L.A. Law," "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" and "NYPD Blue."
As director, Ohler says, "Everyone should feel empowered by their sexuality and know they have the power to choose their relationships. Eleanor Roosevelt said, 'No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.' Men and women are not to be objectified and judged based on their sex, their education, their creed, or anything else. This play really illustrates that point."
The cast for "Spike Heels" includes:
Part: Actor, town, year, major
Georgie: Rebekah Thurston of Chatham, Ill., a sophomore majoring in theatre and broadcast communication
Andrew: Cullen Rogers of North Aurora, Ill., a freshman
Edward: Evan Michalic of Elburn, Ill., a freshman majoring in theatre
Lydia: Carlee Fields of Clinton, Ill., a freshman majoring in Spanish
Crew: Student, town, year, major
Director: Courtney Ohler of Normal, Ill., a junior majoring in theatre and psychology
Stage manager: Bethany Schick of Yorkville, Ill., a freshman majoring in theatre
"Spike Heels" was selected as part of this year's Student Director Series. The College's theatre faculty invite students to submit a proposal to direct their own theatrical productions and the best are chosen.
North Central College offers majors in theatre or musical theatre and a minor in dance. A full range of acting and dance classes is available, as well as opportunities to direct a full-length production. Students of all majors can participate in musical and nonmusical performances, actor showcases and one-act plays and performances in the College's four theatre venues. Full-time professors and active professionals who are artist-teachers serve as faculty. For more information about North Central College's theatre programs visit northcentralcollege.edu/major/theatre.
North Central College's 2010-2011 Sesquicentennial Fine & Performing Arts Season is supported by a generous grant from the Illinois Arts Council. USG Corporation and Navistar, Inc. are underwriting sponsors.
This play is among the many ongoing programs at North Central College to enrich and broaden the cultural and academic outlook for the College and community. For a comprehensive schedule of musical performances, theatrical productions, art exhibits and lectures, visit northcentralcollege.edu/show or call the box office at 630-637-SHOW (7469).
