The Famous Free Wedding Chapel
Happy Weddings Happen Here. Visit from 8AM to 8PM, 7 days a week.
Chapel Dulcinea sits daringly on the edge of an ancient walking trail on the Wizard Academy campus, approximately 20 minutes southwest of downtown Austin.
Yes, it's an outdoor chapel and the weather isn't always perfect. But life is like that, isn't it? Anything can happen.
Walk into your marriage with open eyes, ready for whatever might come your way, even on your wedding day.
Hand-chiseled stone benches provide seating for 12. Capacity under the roof can accommodate about 50 guests. Another 100 would be able to view standing in the extended patio area. So, we can host up to 150 but please know that Dulcinea is a small chapel.
Be sure to register at the Welcome Center immediately upon arrival to see if a wedding is in progress.
(The Welcome Center is inside Enchanted Emporium.)

I'm Lori Nix. I'm a staff sergeant, and I work at Fort McPherson, and I play the bassoon. I was worried the Army band would be just a bunch of marches, but it's not at all. It's a "real" band, and we play such variety, everything under the sun, back to back. So it's challenging musically. I get to play my instrument, make money doing that, and get to play such various types of music. Lots of bassoonists just like orchestra, and that is my favorite too. But I get to play instead of waitress or do other things. We have small groups and I have time because it's a really good workday. There's time to sub in orchestras in the area and still get the orchestra side of it along with everything else.
Well, right now my main small group is the woodwind quintet. But we'll do trios, quartets, whatever music we like and get together. And I've also sat with the jazz band on saxophone. I had at times wanted to be a teacher and still get to do that because I still have time to teach other bassoonists on the side. I've been interested in pretty much everything growing up, so I've flirted with lots of ideas—but music satisfied me more than others.
Growing up, I was always really patriotic -- loved my country, and thought that being in the military would be the ultimate support of that. I had toyed with the idea of just joining—at least for a short time—just to support my country, and I'm planning on staying in, because the Army's giving me everything I want. I've got a place to play the bassoon. I've got a salary -- a good salary -- and I've got an opportunity to improve -- become a musician with other good musicians and good people. And the Army's like a family. I've never been anywhere else where the people cared so much about you as an individual and helped you out in whatever your goals are.

Town Square
Happy Holidays: A hellish downtown vignette
Original post made by Still Coughing, Menlo Park: Linfield Oaks, on Dec 7, 2006
This charming little scene took place, ironically, under the shadow of the enormous banner strung across Santa Cruz Avenue: Shop Menlo Park -- Buy Locally, Support Local Economy. Although I had planned to stop at at least two more shops before leaving the area, I instead dashed straight for my car and fled the scene, still coughing.
Menlo Park came close to banning leafblowers a few years ago, and I -- and I'm sure most other people with asthma and other respiratory problems -- am so sorry the ban wasn't enacted. I am still coughing.
The only aspect of this sad scene I was able to smile about was this: After I was past the blowers (though not past the pollution), I heard a horrific shrieking -- so loud it pierced through the brutal noise of the twin blowers. I stopped, looked back, didn't see anything. But just as I started walking again, I heard the shrieking again, and whipped around to see a short, elderly woman at Doyle Street, trying to walk onto Santa Cruz, screaming at the men to turn the damned machines off so she could pass. They did. And in my mind I thanked this outraged woman with the heroic lungs. She screamed for me.

I feel your pain. Not only do those of us with respiratory complaints hate leaf blowers, so does anyone who 1) dislikes horrible noise 2) practices organic gardening 3) has healthy lungs and would like to keep them that way.
One of the more minor menaces of modern life, but a scourge, nonetheless.
Then-councilman Steve Schmidt was a big supporter of the leaf blower ban, but leaf blower manufacturers poured a lot of money into a campaign to defeat Menlo Park's proposed ban.

I have to disagree with Allergy sufferer on one point: Leafblowers are a major, not minor, menace of modern life. I'm a die-hard walker. Alas, I'm afraid "die-hard" may one day become a literal description with all the fumes and dust in the air from leafblowers, because I also have asthma. I often walk with a handkerchief in my hand, which I regularly have to raise to my mouth and nose to breathe through when I walk past a yard where gardeners are working (or when a diesel truck or Mercedes drives by). Leafblowers are one more example of the insanity of a world in which profits trump the needs of people.

I don't like leafblowers. They never made sense to me. Blowing dust and leaves to the next neighbor will only prompt them to have their dust and leaves blown back. The debris needs to be thrown away, not brushed under the rug.
The solution?
When hiring a gardening service, all of us should ask for no leafblowing.
The hiring parties are the ones to be responsible... not the leafblowing manufacturers... not the gardening services
a resident of Menlo Park: University Heights

I wish it were so simple. One big problem is that many people aren't willing to ask for no leafblowing because the gardening work would take longer. On several occasions I've heard people -- some of whom wouldn't hesitate to dine at the most expensive restaurants and buy huge luxury vehicles and otherwise consume consume consume -- say that they want their gardeners to be able to use leafblowers because otherwise they'd have to pay them extra for the additional time. That crazy argument becomes all the more dumbfounding when you consider how much extra time might be involved. 10 minutes? 20? Amazing.

How dare the labor-saving equipment of the common proles interfere with the quiet enjoyment of bourgeois patrons of Keplers! Why, they should use rakes, small ones, and utilize ten times the effort to rake those pesky leaves in ten times the time! Why, we bourgeois insisted on all those trees, and now it's up to those of lower class to take care of them in a way that does not offend our delicate sensibilities.
I wonder if people would react that way if the gardeners were white.

Reluctant Peninsulan's sarcastic response -- playing the race/class card in a discussion that focused almost exclusively on adverse health effects of leafblowers -- suggests that his/her reluctance has more to do with engaging in honest, analytical thinking than anything else. If Mr./Ms. Reluctant is truly concerned about the "lower class" non-white gardeners, he/she should start paying attention to how many use protective masks, goggles and earplugs while at work. I do pay attention, and can tell you that a miniscule number of them protect themselves against the deleterious physical damage from these "labor-saving" respiratory-system killers. If you have any doubts about the adverse health effects these machines present, there's plenty of literature out there with which to inform yourself. If it is too unspeakably elitist a behavior for you to patronize a local independent bookstore like Kepler's to find the literature, you can find many informative books and other publications at the library just across the way.
If you're still intent on playing the race/class card, please at least be honest enough to acknowledge that not a single person who has engaged in this discussion has suggested that a gardener should not be paid for the extra time that would be needed to use non-mechanical equipment instead of a leafblower. In fact, one writer injected a note of irritation, if not disgust, with people who would rather have their gardeners use leafblowers than pay them more for the extra time needed to use other methods.

I have to agree, again, with Still Coughing.
Most of the many gardeners I see around Menlo Park are completely unprotected when they use leaf blowers. Rarely do I see anyone with a mask -- more often, when they've got anything on at all, they have a bandana tied over their mouths and noses.
Respirators and filtering masks can be expensive, but I can't help but think that OSHA wouldn't allow factory employees to be subjected to such horrible air quality in the workplace.
Reluctant Peninsulan, you can count me as a member of the proletariat. Asthma and other respiratory complaints are a big problem for those of us scraping out a living on the fringes of pricey Peninsula.

Wow, I couldn't imagine how you people with your horrible conditions have been able to cope with living for so long. It must be so difficult to carry out your lives with these intense breathing problems you suffer from. But you know what I do? I walk around the leaf blower, behind him, and if he blows the dust in my face, then I yell at him and possibly have a talk with his manager, call the phone number on the side of his truck, about being harassed by his blower. If you let people get the best of you, they will. When I was younger I used to install insulation in homes, and that was after I was diagnosed with Chronic Asthma. It must be a miracle that I can still breathe today with all of these Prius' driving around.

Details Emerge about Mo. Teen's Stabbing Death
SPRINGFIELD (AP) - New details are emerging about a southwest Missouri teenager's confession to a December 2011 killing.
The Springfield News-Leader reports that Gabriel Roche allegedly told detectives he had his "murder suit on" before walking into the woods planning to kill 17-year-old Weston North. The ensemble consisted of blue jeans, batting gloves and a shirt that could repel stains.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Roche, who is from Republic.
Details about the confession were revealed during a court hearing Wednesday.

Philadelphia, PA –- Later this fall, emergency-medicine physicians enter into what they call the "CO season" – a time when faulty furnaces and other mechanical mishaps lead to a spike in cases of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO poisoning is the leading cause of injury and death by poisoning worldwide, with about 40,000 people treated in the U.S. annually. Brain damage occurs – days to weeks later – in half of the patients with a serious case of CO poisoning.
The physiological causes of this delayed decline were not well understood until now. A team led by Stephen R. Thom, MD, PhD, Professor of Emergency Medicine and Chief of Hyperbaric Medicine, at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, report this week online in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences, that CO causes profound changes in myelin basic protein (MBP) – a major protein constituent of myelin, the protective sheath surrounding neurons. Using an animal model, they showed that the CO-induced changes in MBP set into motion an autoimmune response in which lymphocytes, triggered to eliminate altered MBP, continue to attack normal MBP.
Specifically, the researchers found that by-products of CO metabolism in the brain alter the charge and structure of MBP. "These changes in MBP have also been demonstrated in multiple sclerosis, which is why we paralleled the study along those lines," says Thom.
To link acute CO poisoning to long-term brain injury, the team conducted tests on normal versus CO-poisoned rats, comparing their abilities to navigate and memorize a maze. "CO poisoned rats don't learn," said Thom. "But if you render their immune systems tolerant to altered MBP, by feeding them normal MBP before CO poisoning and thereby short-circuiting the lymphocyte response, the rats learn normally."
Thom says that overall this work suggests that the 50 percent or more of patients who develop brain damage following severe CO poisoning may do so, in large part, due to an autoimmune reaction. The body simply does not know when to stop attacking what it now views as an invader. "This opens up a lot of possibilities, such as treatment with immunosuppressant agents, in conjunction with standard hyperbaric oxygen therapy," he says. "Until our study elucidated this immune response, we had no motivation to think along those lines."
Penn colleagues on the paper are: Veena M. Bhopale, Donald Fisher, Jie Zhang, and Phyllis Gimotty. This study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Today we braved it. The lady in the shop said the sea was calm and the rain would not bother us... Of course we believed her and went on the boat. Oh lalala, 2 hours going up and down the waves in the cold and rain without seeing anything - what a good start. People were getting sick and i nearly did as well. Fortunately the whales did appear as well as dolphins which made the trip suddenly all worthy. After that, we started driving along the highway 1 which is beautiful.

Don't be fooled. Gun confiscation has already begun in NY
posted at 11:31 am on April 13, 2013 by Jazz Shaw
We've heard it over and over again, particularly on shows like Morning Joe. Anyone who thinks that the government is "coming to take your guns" is a paranoid loon, watching for black helicopters and guarding their sheep from soldiers. Unfortunately for those formerly right leaning, Second Amendment minded folks who bought into this story, reality has come screaming up from behind well ahead of schedule.
Following the passage of "The SAFE Act" in New York State, Big Brother got busy pretty quickly grabbing up the guns. Of course nobody was reporting on it very much until they managed to collect them from the wrong guy and a judge made them give them back.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Thursday, a state Supreme Court Judge ruled guns seized from David Lewis, 35, must be returned to him after he was incorrectly identified as violating the mental health provision of the SAFE Act.
"We know that from the health care agency to the State Police, there was some kind of breach," said Lewis' attorney, Jim Tresmond.
I don't know how much more chilling that lede could be, really. This isn't some worry about the government possibly confiscating guns. These are guns that were already confiscated by the government. But if you think that's as bad as it gets, guess again. Here's why his guns were taken.
Tresmond says his client was ordered to turn in his weapons last week because he was once on anti-anxiety medication, which is a violation of the SAFE Act. Wednesday, State Police informed the Erie County Clerk's Office that it made a mistake when it said Lewis was in violation of the state's new gun law.
For all of our more liberal leaning readers who continue to ask "what's so bad" about universal background checks before we've even seen the specifics, this is your answer. In New York, you can be placed on a "list"of people with no Second Amendment rights on the say so of any doctor who has questions. And it already happened to David Lewis. Thankfully, he's getting his guns back… for now. But what is the larger effect of this if we put it on a national scale?
The NY SAFE Act requires "mental health professionals, in the exercise of reasonable professional judgment, to report if an individual they are treating is likely to engage in conduct that will cause serious harm to him- or herself or others."
If such a determination is made, "the Division of Criminal Justice Services will determine whether the person possesses a firearms license and, if so, will notify the appropriate local licensing official, who must suspend the license. The person's firearms will then be removed."
The law has come under fire from gun-rights advocates as well as mental health professionals, who fear the new law discourages people from seeking professional help for mental health issues.
Okay, I can see your point about the adverse effect on those seeking help for mental disorders. If you know that you'll have your constitutional rights curtailed if you tell a doctor you are depressed or filled with anxiety, you might not go seek help. But that also sort of buries the lede here…
They're Already Taking Away Guns From People For Having ONCE Been Prescribed ANTI-ANXIETY MEDICINE.
Doug Mataconis gives the legal beagle perspective on catching up people seeking medical help in a legal net. (Read the whole thing.)
The SAFE Act in particular seems to me to be overly broad in defining what qualifies as a reportable condition. It's one thing for a person who is delusional on the level of a Seung-Hui Choi or Jared Loughner to be caught up in the net, it is quite another for someone who was apparently merely on an anti-anxiety drug to have their Constitutional rights limited. If taking that kind of medication is enough to get you on a list, then what about the millions upon millions of Americans who are on some form of anti-depressant or who take medication that alters their mood in any manner? Are they going to get put on a government list too, and what, exactly, is the government going to do with that list? History is replete with examples of psychiatry being abused by the state, and the danger of abuse becomes even higher when the law broadens the number of conditions that are reportable to the state.
We have thus far been unable to get anyone from New York to own up to how many people have had their guns taken away this year under the new SAFE Act. Neither has the YNN news team. But the facts in evidence are not in dispute. The law is still so new that the "new law smell" hasn't worn off it yet but they are already going around and confiscating guns.
This new universal background check bill is the hot ticket in DC right now. You can read the full text of it here, which thus far contains nothing about expanding how one qualifies as "mentally ill" but there are multiple amendments to come, so we don't even know what will be in the final version. A repeating theme is that it will have to "do something" about keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. But how is that to be accomplished? Will it only affect those who have been adjudicated in court to be proven, dangerous, unstable individuals and who have had the opportunity to object to their classification? Or will it be something that slides closer to what we now have in New York?
And yet… we're all paranoid. Right, Joe Scarborough? I could insert one clip after another of the insulting, uninformed comments in the mainstream media made toward those who expressed concerns over this type of unbridled nanny state activity. But you've seen them all before. and there's no use boring you with them here again now. As for me, I'll stay in my basement, eating my Cheetos, cleaning my Glock and guarding the sheep. You never know.
UPDATE: (Jazz) From the comments. An excellent question.
Number one question for those who favor "universal background checks" – how do you enforce them?
In other words, how will authorities know if an individual who possesses a firearm submitted to a background check?
If they can answer this question without needing to resort to a database, or a registry, then I am all ears.

Ravi takes to the Air, and to the Classroom with Voyage-Air
Ravi gained worldwide fame as the guitarist for the '90's band Hanson. Hanson's triple Grammy nominated chart-topping song "MmmBop" catapulted the band into the music stratosphere, taking Ravi to stages at the White House, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Saturday Night Live, Rosie O'Donnell, and Madison Square Garden. Now an accomplished solo artist, Ravi has played to a packed house at venues such as the Louisiana Superdome. Also an enthusiastic private pilot, Ravi's music has become a fixture at the Oshkosh Air Show and aviation events all around the country.
The Voyage-Air guitar has been a breakthrough for Ravi and his music - space is tight in his plane, and he can finally take a full-size acoustic VAOM-2C guitar with him wherever he flies.
In the video clip below, Ravi makes a presentation at the Berklee College of Music, and talks about how the Voyage-Air guitar has changed the way he makes music when traveling.

Can't repay 'debt of love': Kamal Haasan
Published On: February 12, 2013 | Duration: 6 min, 36 sec
Chennai's big welcome for Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam
Kamal Haasan's spy-thriller Vishwaroopam finally released in movie halls across Tamil Nadu today, with audio edited out in seven scenes.
Vishwaroopam screening at Rajinikanth's home
Actor Kamal Haasan thanked fellow Tamil superstar Rajinikanth for standing by him during the row over Vishwaroopam by arranging a screening of the film at Rajinikanth's home in Chennai this evening. Kamal Haasan did not watch his film with Rajinikanth. Instead, he attended a separate screening for other celebrities.
Vishwaroopam row settled: Kamal Haasan agrees to edit 7 scenes
Actor-director Kamal Haasan has agreed to 'mute' seven scenes in his movie Vishwaroopam that Muslim groups have found objectionable. This follows a five-hour meeting between Mr Haasan, government officials, and representatives of Muslim groups in Chennai.
Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam is more of a thriller than an action drama and has an interesting storyline. Watch the movie for its action sequences, cinematography and brilliant acting by the actors.
The Hindi version of Kamal Haasan's film Vishwaroop releases today and here is a look at how the film is fairing across the country.
Do political parties pander to fringe groups?
As Jayalalithaa breaks her silence over Kamal Haasan's film, we ask: are states abdicating responsibility?
Don't think Vishwaroopam needs cuts: Kamal Haasan to NDTV
The actor says he is grateful to Chief Minister Jayalalithaa for "clearing him of all doubts". "I'm always willing to compromise," he says.
Vishwaroopam fiasco insulting: Kamal Haasan
Kamal Haasan says he is hurt by all the controversy about his film and may consider leaving the country if it happens again.
Vishwaroopam row: Will Kamal Haasan go bankrupt?
An ambitious Kamal Hassan hoped Vishwaroopam would easily cross the Rs 150-crore mark within weeks of its release all over. But the controversy surrounding the film has led to huge losses for the actor-director.
Jayalalithaa alleges 'hysteria, wild charges' over Vishwaroopam ban
The nationwide furore over her government's ban on Kamal Haasan's mega production Vishwaroopam forced the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to defend the move with some detailed math today, saying she had no other option.
If this happens again, I would seriously think of leaving the country: Kamal Haasan
Kamal Haasan's spy-thriller Vishwaroopam may just have a happy ending after all. In Chennai, the chief minister J Jayalalithaa ardently defended a two-week ban on the movie imposed by the government but suggested the terms for a compromise.
Vishwaroopam row: Intolerance killing the idea of India?
An impassioned Kamal Haasan spoke out at the way he has been treated, saying it is clear Tamil Nadu doesn't want him. The Tamil superstar said he had mortgaged all properties for his Rs 100-crore movie, Vishwaroopam, and that he and his movie had been caught in a political game.
Madras High Court upholds ban on Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam
After losing a court battle to have the ban on his film Vishwaroopman rescinded, actor Kamal Haasan appeared on the terrace of his office and told hundreds of fans gathered there to stay calm. "I am struggling for justice," he said, "don't give in to anger."
I think Tamil Nadu wants me out: Kamal Haasan on Vishwaroopam battle
Actor Kamal Haasan reacts to Tamil Nadu government's appeal against the High Court verdict that allows big-budget thriller Vishwaroopam to release in the state.
My heart bled when Kamal Haasan talked about leaving: Dhanush to NDTV
"It would be a great shame if Tamil Nadu forces Kamal Haasan out," the actor said.
Vishwaroopam controversy unfortunate: SRK
Shah Rukh Khan says the whole fiasco around Vishwaroopam is completely unwarranted and he has faced similar issues in the past with his own films such as My Name Is Khan and Om Shanti Om.
Have every intention of watching Vishwaroopam: Salman
The superstar came to Kamal Haasan's defence on Twitter and said he would surely watch Vishwaroopam.
Kamal Haasan can never affect communal harmony: Nagarjuna
Telugu superstar Nagarjuna talks to NDTV about the controversy surrounding Kamal Haasan's film Vishwaroopam and being an ardent fan of the actor, he says that Kamal Haasan could never affect communal harmony through his films.
Vishwaroopam: 'Cultural terrorism' or justified ban?
Kamal Haasan's actor-daughter Shruti Haasan and noted filmmaker Deepa Mehta tell NDTV why the ban is unfair.

Neat huh?
Printable View
Nice idea. The 3M strips would work as long as it wasn't too heavy. My daughter bought the hooks to hang up her purses in her closet but they wouldn't hold the weight.
Check out the command display, there are different hooks for different weights.
This a great idea for those smaller projects.
It depends on the surface of the wall how much max. weight the hook will hold. The large metal Command Strip Hooks hold my purses. I have them hanging on my closet wall. The large hook also holds lot of my big square quilting rulers. .
I didn't know they made them for different weights! I am going to have to go investigate the 3M display more thoroughly. Thanks!
I love the 3M hooks. I had one I hung my coat on for 2 years at school. I even hung a really heavy winter coat on it and it stayed up. Be sure to follow the installation instructions and they work great. They do make them for different weights. My DD is in college and we had them all over her dorm room. SHe isn't allowed to put any holes in the walls. SHe even had a arge one to hang her backpack up on.
thanks for sharing... those command strips are awesome
Neat! How did we ever survive without those Command strips?! thanks for sharing.
I've been hanging photos this way for some time and they work GREAT. I never thought of using them for quilts. THANKS A BUNCH FOR THIS IDEA!!!
I use the command strips for hanging rulers of various weights on the back of my thrift store dresser which I use for storage and ironing on the top with the big board on it.. A while ago I rearranged them and it was neat to be able to do so with new strips. But I have not thought to use them for hanging smaller quilts, either! This will make DH very happy, smile.

Get the Wolves newsletter
09:00 7th June 2013
Striker aiming to impress
Young striker Liam McAlinden is keen to prove he can make the step up to regular senior football when returning for pre-season at Wolves.
McAlinden, who turns 20 in September, was in and around the first team matchday squad for the final eight games of last season, and came off the bench for his debut, almost scoring, in the last home game of the season against Burnley.
In a Twitter Q&A with fans shortly after his appointment, new Head Coach Kenny Jackett revealed McAlinden was one of the strikers he is keen to assess closely during pre-season, as Wolves look for a refreshed and reshaped squad heading into League One.
And the striker believes it is now up to him – and indeed the club's other young players – to impress in search of the opportunity.
"I heard that the new Head Coach had mentioned that he knew about me and that was really good to hear," he said.
"I've been making sure I have kept myself fit during the close season so I can come back and try and impress.
"I had a lot of games for the Under-21s last season which was a good standard so I feel I am ready to take the next step but I know it's all up to me to prove it and earn my chance.
"We had a good season with the 21s so I think there are some good young players here who will be trying to get involved.
"We are all keen to show what we can do and if we carry on working hard and improving then it is all about taking the opportunity when it comes along."
McAlinden admitted it was a something of a bitter sweet experience to land his first team involvement towards the end of last season.
Delight at turning out for a club he has supported all his life and joined at the age of eight, but massive disappointment at a second successive relegation.
"It was great for me to be involved around the first team," he explains.
"But as I said at the end of last season it was difficult because it was really disappointing with the team being relegated.
"For me to be around the first team set up and get on for my debut was something I will personally remember given I have been at the club since I was eight and am a big fan.
"To get on against Burnley was great and I thought I'd scored with a shot not long after I'd been on.
"I then set up the second goal and it was just good to be out there although obviously the most important thing was the disappointment of losing such an important game.
"It was good to be around the first team set up for the last eight games and it helps me settle in alongside them."
McAlinden has been a prolific scorer at Academy level and also in Under-21 football last season, scoring nine goals as Wolves mixed it with the top young teams in the country.
Committed to trying to prove he can also score goals at first team level, he is also aiming to be a part of a bright new dawn after such sustained Molineux disappointment in recent times.
He added: "It has been a very difficult time for Wolves over the last couple of years but I think now it is about looking forward.
"League One will be difficult but we will all be thinking positively and it would be something special for any of us to be involved in a push for promotion.
"We've got a new Head Coach in and it's a fresh start and up to us to make the most of it and do what we can to help the team.
"All the way through I feel I have managed to score goals where I have played whether it be Academy or Under-21s football.
"Now it's about trying to prove I am capable of playing in League One and if I can do that trying to score goals again."

University advocates stress challenges of budget cuts
By Katie Ellis
Think Green. Think Global. Think Binghamton went on the road to Albany on Tuesday, March 2, as about 120 Binghamton University advocates, including faculty, staff, students, alumni and business partners, met with legislators and other leaders.
Advocates spoke about the quality of the people and students at Binghamton University and SUNY, and voiced their concerns about budget cuts.
"We feel strongly that public higher education is the future and we have an enormous economic impact on our region and the state," President Lois B. DeFleur said. "We are well managed, but if we're not getting more money, we hope the legislature can approve some parts of the Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation Act to give us some tools to help us operate better."
State Sen. Toby Ann Stavisky, chair of the Senate Higher Education Committee, noted her concerns about the fiscal constraints the state is operating under, but agreed additional cuts to SUNY would be unwise.
"We face anxiety with the budget," she said, "but we have to make sure we don't cut you any more. It's like sending people out to build a house without hammers and nails."
Stavisky said she "is coming around to some of the aspects of the Act and we are looking at parts of the Act where we may have areas of agreement. Some of the procurement issues will help you.
"We're listening and we are trying, but we're facing very severe cuts and some want to cut more," she said. "We can't do that. We must consider all of the students. They are my constituents."
DeFleur was on a team with United University Professions chapter President Darryl Wood, Associate Professor of Psychology Meredith Coles, junior English major Jessica Falzone, and CSEA Executive Vice President Gary Beach, each providing a unique perspective on what budget reductions have meant to them.
One major impact on Binghamton has been in terms of faculty hiring, Wood said. "Two years ago, we hired about 70 tenure-track faculty, but this past year, we hired only four. We need those people — not only faculty in the classroom — but others who support them."
Coles, who has been at Binghamton since 2003, reinforced the need for resources. As the last hire made in her area, she has to turn away students from her statistics courses, as well as from her research lab.
"My students are exceptional and I receive 40-50 applications for only two undergraduate research positions," she said. "It's a mixed blessing. They're all great students and I want to do more."
Selected as the University's Exemplary Student last fall, Falzone works as a tour guide and is passionate about telling others what an exceptional place it is.
"I love the energy and enthusiasm of all of our students and it's wonderful to take families around campus for them to experience it, too," she said.
Beach summed up many of the points made by the team when he spoke about the infrastructure of the University: its people who are committed to excellence. As a 32-year employee, he said he has seen too many people retire without being replaced.
"We need the tools to keep us going," he said.

Ad Council kicks off emergency-prep campaign
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - The Ad Council kicked off its Emergency Preparedness campaign Wednesday.
It conducted a recent study that shows many Americans are not prepared for an emergency, with only 17 percent saying they are ready if a disaster were to happen.
From first-aid kits to food and water, a survival kit can be the only chance for survival during a natural disaster.
The Emergency Management Service is on board with the campaign. Emergency Management Director Tom Lenderink wants Idaho residents to know how serious planning can be.
"It's just time to start taking planning serious. Disasters may be few and far between here [in Idaho Falls], but you don't want to be caught not ready when one comes." he said.
Experts said sitting down with family to come up with a plan is the best way to prepare for an emergency.
The Ad Council suggests preparations for at least 72 hours. They said to pack items such as water, a first-aid kit, and food.
While preparing your survival kit preparedness store manager Rusty Kappel said, its good to keep your surroundings in mind.
"I really think that it's key when we build a survival kit or a 72-hour kit that we build it for the area in which we're in and that we're going to use that with," said Kappel.
The campaign advocates four things to keep in mind:
1) Be informed about natural disasters by staying tuned into media sources. 2) Avoid risky surprises by having a plan. 3) Build a survival kit. 4) Get involved with the community to inform others about necessary survival methods.

When Maintenance Best Practices Aren't Enough
Cutting costs is not a goal. It is an action taken in the hopes of achieving a short-term business goal--quite often a short-lived goal. While the executives may be preparing for another round of cost-cutting, there may be an even more powerful alternative.

The Destination
Set on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean two hours north of Charleston, Myrtle Beach, is synonymous with warm-weather fun and South Carolina charm. The resort town's 60 miles of shoreline ensure that a casual bikini-and-board-shorts crowd is never without an entertaining spectacle to witness—or a view to sit back and admire. Cruise the wide boardwalk with a melting ice cream in hand, ride the rollercoaster to feel the salty wind on your face, or float lazily in an inner tube at the water park. Although Myrtle Beach gets more than 200 sunny days per year, there are plenty of ways to make each one count.
The Digs
As a family-friendly hotel with an oceanfront address, Ocean Reef Resort is a paradise for the young and the young at heart. A recently opened outdoor water park features a sinking ship, a waterfall, and slides surrounded by palm trees and tiki men—while a lazy river and a pool await indoors. Lounge on the oceanfront deck with a cool drink in hand, or make a splash under a cascading fountain. When it's time to call it day, ocean view rooms with private balconies, refrigerators, and microwaves will make a smooth transition from playtime to bedtime.

• Play a round of golf at True Blue Golf Course

• Parasail above beach with Express Water Sports

Tesu, or 'flame of the forest,' the flower of the Palash tree is another important material used in Holi. Dried Tesu flowers when mixed water creates a beautiful saffron-reddish color. It is said that
Holi celebrations begin on Rang Pashi, three days earlier to Holika Dahan. All family members gather at home; and gulal is sprinkled on all by the eldest family member. Women wear their special Holi dandia saris.
On the Purnima day is the Holika Dahan and bonfires are lit on this day. The bonfires are lit in memory of the miraculous escape that young Prahlad had when Demon Holika carried him into the fire. Holika was burnt but Prahlad, a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu, escaped without any injuries.
The next day is Holi or Dhulandi or Parva. People visit each other's home and play Holi with colors.
Another important even celebrated along with Holi is Bhai Dooj, which falls on the day after Holi.

Christian Extremists who take parts of the bible literally to spread hate, bigotry, fear, and intolerance of anyone who isn't exactly like them.
I tried to reason with the Ku Klux Kristian, but he was absolutely sure that all gay people should die - so I assraped him.

Toyota is recalling is recalling more than one million vehicles in the US, due to two separate issues.
About 752,000 2003 and 2004 model Corolla sedans and Corolla Matrix vehicles are being recalled for a faulty airbag control module.
In the second separate recall, about 270,000 Lexus IS vehicles - produced between 2006 and 2012 - are being recalled to check for a loose nut on the front wipers.
Toyota says the airbag control module for the Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles could have been manufactured with faulty circuit boards, which could cause a short and potentially see the airbags or seat belt pretensioners deploy when there hasn't been a crash.
The loose nut on the Lexus IS vehicles could cause the wipers to fail if a heavy load - such as a buildup of snow - puts them under pressure

Enforced changes in the Auckland City and Team Wellington squads have only added to the intrigue ahead of today's ASB Premiership catch-up game at Kiwitea St.
The round five fixture, postponed due to City's involvement in Fifa's Club World Cup in Japan, is key for both clubs.
For City, who conceded three goals for the first time since last season's semifinal second leg in going down 3-2 to Waitakere United on Saturday, it is the chance to leapfrog second-placed Hawkes Bay United and close to within seven points of leaders Waitakere.
For Team Wellington, who beat Auckland City 3-1 in that semifinal, it is the chance of rare back-to-back success at Kiwitea St and the opportunity to drag themselves into the top four play-off race.
City coach Ramon Tribulietx said even in losing to Waitakere, he had taken plenty of positives from the game despite having Alex Feneridis sent off in the dying stages.
"We just have to move on," said Tribulietx. "We didn't seal it in the first half and then when they came back at us, we lost the plot. Despite that, I certainly didn't have the feeling we were going to lose.
"Waitakere are a good side but we have to remember it was just a three-point game, not a final.
"Chris Bale will come into the middle of the park in place of Alex [Feneridis]. I know we will be competitive but only if we put away the chances we create."
Team Wellington will, under an agreement between the two clubs at the time of his transfer, be without Luis Corrales for today's game.
