UTSA presents stalking awareness workshop
(Jan. 7, 2009)--As part of National Stalking Awareness Month, the UTSA Women's Resource Center will offer a workshop and discussion from 7 to 9 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 21 in the University Center Pecan Room (2.01.26) on the 1604 Campus. Free and open to the UTSA community, the event will promote awareness and public education regarding stalking and its consequences.

This year's theme, "Stalking: Know It, Name It, Stop It," challenges the nation to combat this dangerous crime by learning more about it. Stalking affects more than 1.4 million people each year.
By learning more about stalking, communities can support victims and combat the crime. "If more people can recognize stalking, we have a better chance to hold offenders accountable," said Jessica Muniz, sexual assault prevention coordinator at UTSA Counseling Services. "Knowledge can help communities support victims and prevent tragedies."
The event is co-sponsored by UTSA Counseling Services, Office of Student Judicial Affairs, UTSA Police Department and the Office of Student Activities.
For more information, contact Melissa Hernandez at (210) 458-4140.
If you need help
- If you think you are being stalked, contact the UTSA Police Department at (210) 458-4911.
- If you are suffering the psychological effects of stalking and want to talk to a counselor, contact UTSA Counseling Services at (210) 458-4140.
What is stalking?
- Stalking is a crime that occurs in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and affects people from all walks of life. One in 12 women and one in 45 men will be stalked in their lifetimes for an average duration of almost two years.
- Victims may experience psychological trauma, financial hardship and even death. Eighty-one percent of victims stalked by an intimate partner also were assaulted by that partner. Seventy-six percent of female homicide victims were stalked before their deaths.
- Statistics on college campuses are similar to national numbers. Thirteen percent of college women were stalked during six-to-nine month periods, and 80 percent of campus stalking victims know their stalkers. Three of 10 college women reported being injured emotionally or psychologically as a result of stalking.
- Many victims underestimate the seriousness and impact of the crime. At first, they may view stalking as "creepy" but not dangerous. They may think that ignoring or confronting stalkers will stop them. But, stalkers almost never stop, and confronting a stalker may escalate the violence.
- Even when victims see the danger and report the crime, stalking may be hard for authorities to recognize, investigate and prosecute. Unlike other crimes, stalking is not a single, easily identifiable crime but a series of acts and a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause that person fear.
- Stalking may take many forms -- such as assaults, threats, vandalism, burglary or animal abuse -- as well as unwanted cards, calls, gifts or visits. Stalkers may use a range of devices such as computers, Global Position System devices or hidden cameras to track their victims' daily activities.
- Stalkers fit no standard psychological profile, and many have been known to follow their victims from one jurisdiction to another, making apprehension by the authorities even more difficult.

TV Shows
Is there anywhere where I can request/buy (even download i guess) Jamie's TV shows (Jamie At Home/Jamie's Kitchen/Jamie's Chef etc)?
I know Oliver's Twist is on DVD, but im really more interested in the newer shows. I tried to watch as much as i could of them on TV, but i just happened to miss it sometimes (nothin i could do about it).
Any help with it would be superb.
P.S. Im in Australia if it makes any difference.

Re: TV Shows
Its a question thats been asked before, but as far as I know, never answered except negatively.
Your only hope is to find someone who has recorded them.
For the future, get yourself a PVR or a DVD-R - that way you'll never miss an episode.

Re: TV Shows
do you think that if i contacted the network they aired on that they would be able to send them to me (for a price), or would that violate contract? surely there must be somewhere that they can be purchased.

The speckled cloud over western Victoria, Tasmania and southeast South Australia are low-level convective clouds. Thunderstorms are also embedded within this field of cold air, mostly over eastern Bass Strait. An upper level trough is responsible for the middle level cloud streaming across eastern Queensland over to the Coral Sea and northern Tasman Sea. Some high cloud can be seen over southwest WA streaming ahead of a series of cold fronts which are moving across the southern Indian Ocean. Further north, a strong subtropical jet stream over central Australia has also produced high cloud over much of northern and central Australia.

Nearly 900 miles from Antarctica in the southern Atlantic Ocean sits the small island of South Georgia. During breeding time, the ice-free island is home to elephant seals, leopard seals, albatrosses, and more than 6 million penguins. Filmmaker Anthony Geffen spent five months on the island with a crew to film the penguins and their surroundings. The result is the new film Adventures of the Penguin King, which shows the cycle of the penguins through the story of Rex, a young King penguin who has returned to his home to start a family. Comically narrated by Toy Story actor Tim Allen, the movie opens today in select theaters and through On Demand and other digital platforms (scroll down for a clip). Geffen spoke to TFK about filming in the harsh climate and getting up close to these amazing creatures.
When did you have the idea to use funny, dramatic narration?
While we were making it, we felt that if we had the right voice and writers, there was a version [of the story] that would work well in the cinema for kids and adults. [Screenwriter] Phillip LaZebnik is a very clever writer. Tim Allen is a great voice and he really loved the material. He didn't just read it. He also added a lot of nice ideas to it as well. We felt it brought the film alive.
What traits are unique to King penguins?
The thing we liked about them is that their lifestyle is quite interesting, in terms of where they live—right by the seas, so you can capture them in the ocean. The fact that they spend a long time sitting on their eggs is pretty interesting too because that creates all sorts of incidents. So each stage of their life cycle is certainly interesting to a filmmaker.
How close did you get to the animals?
We are always very careful not to interfere with their behavior, but the 3D cameras [we used] require that you do get pretty close. The penguins themselves were really interested in the filming. We always laughed and said the same five penguins would come out and watch us. We had a lot of very funny [moments] where the camera team was behind their cranes and the penguins would come right up and start watching as if they were spectators. So they got very close, and we were really close. We wanted you to see the world as though a penguin saw it.
South Georgia is home to more than 95% of the world's Antarctic Fur Seals. What was it like to get up close with this rarely seen animal?
Fantastic. They are amazing creatures. The nice thing for us is that we were filming in the ocean too, so we were under the water with them. What's amazing about these animals is, like penguins, they are quite clumsy on shore. They sort of fall over. But as soon as they get in the ocean, they are incredible. They move around very quickly.
What were you most surprised to learn about these penguins during your filming?
How resistant they are. It's a harsh place, but they are very rigorous and determined. They live on the edge of a very difficult zone. It's very cold. They've got birds stealing their eggs. But they fight on.
Is there a part of a penguin's life that you are envious of?
The way they fish. I'd love to catch fish like that. They go really deep, they dive, and they spin around. They have so much fun. They play in the water. They love going in and bathing and they groom themselves. But the rest of their life is pretty tough.
What was the most memorable day of filming?
The most memorable day was when there was a massive storm and we thought we were going to lose all the equipment. The cameras all got covered in snow and sleet and slush. But some of the days as the winter breaks into spring were just incredible. The skies were magical. The penguins were all on their eggs. Here you are in a corner of the earth with a phenomenal species.
What do you hope kids get from this movie?
I think one of the most important ways to learn now is to understand an animal or creature first hand. I think the life of a penguin is a pretty interesting one, and hopefully kids can relate to the animal as more than just, "There's a creature with little wings that's very funny." Penguins were made popular by blockbuster films, like Happy Feet, but you don't really know what a penguin's life is from those [films]. Those are characterizations. This is a story that is based on the real story of real penguins.

Some curves are so convoluted they wiggle free of the one-dimensional world and fill up space
Brian Hayes
In 1877 the German mathematician Georg Cantor made a shocking discovery. He found that a two-dimensional surface contains no more points than a one-dimensional line. Cantor compared the set of all points forming the area of a square with the set of points along one of the line segments on the perimeter of the square. He showed that the two sets are the same size. Intuition rebels against this notion. Inside a square you could draw infinitely many parallel line segments side by side. Surely an area with room for such an infinite array of lines must include more points than a single line—but it doesn't. Cantor himself was incredulous: "I see it, but I don't believe it," he wrote.
Yet the fact was inescapable. Cantor defined a one-to-one correspondence between the points of the square and the points of the line segment. Every point in the square was associated with a single point in the segment; every point in the segment was matched with a unique point in the square. No points were left over or used twice. It was like pairing up mittens: If you come out even at the end, you must have started with equal numbers of lefts and rights.
Geometrically, Cantor's one-to-one mapping is a scrambled affair. Neighboring points on the line scatter to widely separated destinations in the square. The question soon arose: Is there a continuous mapping between a line and a surface? In other words, can one trace a path through a square without ever lifting the pencil from the paper and touch every point at least once? It took a decade to find the first such curve. Then dozens more were invented, as well as curves that fill up a three-dimensional volume or even a region of some n-dimensional space. The very concept of dimension was undermined.
Circa 1900, these space-filling curves were viewed as mysterious aberrations, signaling how far mathematics had strayed from the world of everyday experience. The mystery has never entirely faded away, but the curves have grown more familiar. They are playthings of programmers now, nicely adapted to illustrating certain algorithmic techniques (especially recursion). More surprising, the curves have turned out to have practical applications. They serve to encode geographic information; they have a role in image processing; they help allocate resources in large computing tasks. And they tickle the eye of those with a taste for intricate geometric patterns.

Students interested in studying abroad can set up an appointment with the Director of International Education, JoAnn Bennett. During your interview, the director will be able to inform you of your many options for studying abroad, and how studying abroad can fit into your academic program.
The possibilities are only limited by your own initiative and the limitations of your major. Wittenberg students have spent time abroad studying in Buddhist temples; others have studied on the safari in Kenya. The majority of students choose to go to Europe or Asia, but the choices are certainly not limited to these destinations. There are more than 40 options in countries all over the world.
You may wonder if knowledge of a foreign language is required for studying abroad. Though this is true for some programs, for instance CIEE's Spain program requires competency in Spanish, students who wish to study abroad do not necessarily need to speak a foreign language. The Witt in Witt semester program requires no prior knowledge of German.
Programs in English-speaking countries such as Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, etc. offer opportunities for students in every major. A variety of English-speaking programs also exist in non-English speaking countries. Programs in Sweden and Denmark offer complete university instruction in English, while students live with native host families. Most students are able to find programs that fit their needs in countries that reflect their language capabilities.
Deciding upon a program that will help to enrich your college experience is difficult. There are literally thousands of programs available and selecting one that meets your needs requires time and attention. To facilitate international study, Wittenberg offers several different types of programs.
The first option is Wittenberg's own semester program, the Wittenberg in Wittenberg program.
- A full semester program that will earn 16-18 credits (directly from Wittenberg University)
- No prior German is required
- Classes are taught by both Wittenberg professors and Universtät Halle-Wittenberg professors.
- Residence in American-style residence hall in historic heart of city
- Program Costs are Wittenberg University tuition, as well as room and board (ALL financial aid and scholarship, with the exception of work study awards, are applicable). Students will need to cover airfare as well as spending money.
- Internships are included in the fields of business, education, political science, international studies, history, philosophy, English, communication, biology and many others
Another option open to Wittenberg students is direct exchange. A direct exchange program allows students here and abroad to exchange places while remaining enrolled in their home institutions. Financially, this type of program allows the student to pay Wittenberg what he or she normally would for a Wittenberg semester of study, even though he or she is studying elsewhere. Enrollment in a direct exchange program does not include the cost of flights and other travel expenses. The student is expected to pay for these expenditures on his or her own. Students pay Wittenberg tuition, room and board, and continue to receive all Wittenberg financial aid and all federal and state scholarship.
A direct exchange program requires a student who is willing to be independent. You will be on your own unless you choose to seek out new people and become active in the community. A student in a direct exchange will take courses with students from the host country. These programs also may require more advanced language skills. A student must be selected by the university and nominated for direct exchange programs.
Direct exchanges are available in:
- China - Fudan University (Shanghai)
- Japan - Sophia University (Tokyo) and Kansai Gaidai University (Osaka)
- ISEP** - available in more than 20 different countries
**ISEP (International Student Exchange Program) also administers numerous programs in non-English speaking environments for which instruction is done completely in English. Examples include programs in Sweden, Finland, and The Netherlands.
Wittenberg is affiliated with programs operated by several American consortia. These programs include IES (Institute for the International Education of Students), CIEE (Council on International Educational Exchange), and DIS (Danish Institute for Study Abroad). The desired university enrolls students directly into these programs. The cost of the programs vary. Students may use Federal, State and outside aid, but Wittenberg Financial Aid and scholarships do not apply to terms abroad.
The following list contains some of the programs available:
- Argentina: Buenos Aires
- Australia: Melbourne, Sydney
- Austria: Vienna
- China: Beijing, Shanghai
- Chile: Santiago
- Costa Rica: San Jose
- Denmark: Copenhagen
- Ecuador: Galapagos, Quito
- England: London
- France: Nantes, Rennes
- Germany: Freiburg, Berlin
- Italy: Milan, Rome, Sienna
- Ireland: Dublin
- Japan: Nagoya
- Spain: Alicante, Barcelona, Madrid, Salamanca, Seville
- Sweden: Stockholm
These type of programs are more tailored to the needs of the student and more attention is devoted to the individual student while abroad. Courses at these sites often are designed specifically for study abroad, offering things like internships, historical walking tours of Paris, theatre study in London, etc. Specifics in program content and cost are available on the program's websites and in individual brochures available in the Office of International Education.
The faculty committee on International Education has also approve a list of programs (see below) sponsored by other U.S. schools to meet the academic and financial needs of our students. For example, many art majors attend a studio art program in Cortona, Italy offered by the University of Georgia. Students studying in Africa often attend programs offered by the School for International Training (SIT). Students receive full credit for these programs and remain registered as Wittenberg students on approved leave of absence. The cost of the programs vary. Students may use Federal, State and outside aid, but Wittenberg Financial Aid and scholarships do not apply to terms abroad.
- Salzburg, Austria - Northern Illinois University
- Africa - School for International Training (SIT)'
- British Universities - Arcadia University and IFSA-Butler
- Italy - Syracuse University and University of Georgia
- Florence, Italy - Studio Art Center International (SACI)
- Science - School for Field Studies (SFS)
- Internships - University of Rochester
Depending on the program you choose, summer options may be available. Summer programs range in length, cost and location.
Wittenberg Faculty-Led Summer Programs
Wittenberg offers many of its own summer programs that are directed/taught by Wittenberg faculty. These programs vary in length from 3-6 weeks. Recent sites include:
- Poland
- Paris, France
- Wittenberg, Germany
- Tokyo, Japan
- Lesotho
- Siena, Italy
Other Summer Programs
For more information on summer programs run by consortia programs and non-consortia programs, please see the consortia websites and/or make an appointment to discuss your options with the Director of International Education.
In addition to programs the University operates or with which it affiliates, other programs administered by U.S. college and universities are available to Wittenberg students depend on approval by the Faculty Committee on International Education.

Po the panda battled the movie box office twice—and won big. Now everyone's favorite kung-fu-fighting bear leaps back into action in the animated series Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, premiering today on Nickelodeon. The cartoon picks up where the movies left off, with Po getting more comfortable in his role as the Dragon Warrior.
The series will also give other characters in the Kung Fu Panda world more time in the spotlight. Actor James Hong, who lends his voice to Po's dad, Mr. Ping, in the films, returns for the TV series. Hong promises many tasty storylines for his noodle-making goose character. TFK spoke to Hong about what Kung Fu Panda fans can expect from Legends of Awesomeness.
What is it about a kung-fu-fighting panda that you think people love so much?
Why do they love Po so much? You're not asking me the right question! It should be: "Why do they love the goose so much?" [Laughs] Well, I think they love Po because there's just something so magical about a big fat panda that talks and is friendly and is kind of nerdy. And on top of all that, he's a super hero!
So, why do you think fans love Mr. Ping so much?
[Laughs] Actually, I was originally going to play Shifu, but something got switched and I ended up playing the goose. I like playing Mr. Ping better, because he too is very lovable. He's got a big mouth and talks a lot. He's full of faults, and he's very emotional—he has these big ups and downs. It's a great character for doing voiceovers.
What was your original inspiration for the character? Was he based off you or anyone you know?
I based Mr. Ping on myself and also on my father. He was very expressive and bragged a lot. He liked to tell big stories. That's what Mr. Ping is like. He wants the best for his son. Even if Po doesn't want to be a noodle maker, Mr. Ping wants him to be the best, and to go out and save the world.
You've gotten to know Mr. Ping very well over the past few years. Do you feel like there are still some mysteries to be uncovered?
Yes. I've always wondered what Mr. Ping was like before Po came into his life. Maybe there will be an episode about it that will lead up to how he found Po in the backyard, near the radishes.
It looks like Mr. Ping has some very fun storylines coming up this season. Can you give us the scoop on some of those? We hear that in one episode, Mr. Ping has a girlfriend. [Laughs]
Why are you laughing? It's very natural! He's a single parent, and he's looking for a female partner, so obviously, he is going to have some fun. He finds a scorpion as a girlfriend. It's hilarious. He loves this scorpion dearly, but Po is trying to protect his dad. The girlfriend is no good for him. There's another episode that I love, where Mr. Ping is trying to entertain some children by putting on a show with Chinese puppets. So I got to do some voices other than Mr. Ping's. I'd love to do a puppet show for children in my own community. I do a lot of community work.
What kind of community service do you do?
I formed the East West Players, in Los Angeles, California, which has now become the biggest Asian American theatrical group in the U.S. When I began, it was the actor Mako and myself. The two of us were out of work, and we said, "We've got to do something." From two guys, [the theater group] has now grown into thousands. I'm also an advocate for Asian Americans having better roles on TV, instead of just the [stereotypical] roles.
You've had a long career in Hollywood, and in that time, you've done a lot of voice work. What do you enjoy most about it?
There's a lot of pressure acting on camera. For voiceover work, you're in the studio with a director and an editor and a few technicians. You feel freer; you don't feel the pressure of a thousand people waiting for you to get it right. You get to adlib and chat and drink tea and eat dim sum, but you still get your work done. You're done in an hour and a half, you collect your pay, and you go home! But I'm a trained actor, so I still like to be on camera. Originally, I was a civil engineer, but then I devoted my whole life to acting. Hopefully, I'll be directing and producing from now on too.
Why the switch from civil engineering to acting?
That is a long story. It would take an hour to tell it! To make it short, I've always wanted to be an actor. I did civil engineering at USC (the University of Southern California) to please my parents, but then I started to deviate and go into acting. I got roles right away, and I said, "Wow, this is great." So I told my engineering supervisor that I wanted a leave of absence for a year. One year blossomed into two years, and then to three years, and now, 50 years later, I still love it.
So, you don't regret the decision then?
I can't say that I do! It's a grand life.
Aside from Mr. Ping, do you have any other favorite characters from the Kung Fu Panda world?
Po, of course. I also loved the turtle, Oogway, in the first feature film. All of the animals are good, but Po is so lovable, especially little baby panda Po. The expression on Mr. Ping's face when he found baby Po was really my own.
What do you think kids will enjoy about the cartoon series?
The cartoon is a lot like the movies, but it's different too. I would love to watch it every day if I had time—especially the episodes with Mr. Ping. They are excellent. [Laughs]


text: Lets change a water pump! Open hood disconnect battery just to be safe Take off the intake hose/resonator connecting the throttle body and the air box. Loosen the C-clamps and gently pull the hose ends off the connectors. Take off the fan cowl. There are two 10mm screws on the inside top of the upper cowl and 2 pop-its on the seam holding the upper cowl to the lower on each side. All you need to do is get a flat blade screwdriver underneath the plastic head and gently lift. Remove the pop its and gently pull out the holder clamps from the upper radiator hose and lift it right out. You are now at what can be the hardest part the fan clutch assembly. There are special tools (that work like crap) to get the fan off the water pump but could not get the one I borrowed from pep boys to work. I tried putting a large adjustable on the nut and hitting it with a hammer (hit towards the passenger side) but if your belt is loose or its been on there for 150,000 miles then you will likely be out of luck. There are 4 holes in the face of the pulley. I took a pair of bent needle nose pliers and stuck the ends into two of the holes. I then used a pair of vice grips to hold the pliers and then hit the adjustable wrench and that broke the nut loose. Remove by spinning off the water pump pulley. Here is a pic of the front with the Fan off Next take off the serpentine belt. Make sure you can read the belt diagram or draw it out on paper/take a picture. The belt tensioner fits a 15mm socket. I used a ½" ratchet compressing the tensioner and removing the belt. It is a good idea to replace the belts while you are in there. With the belt off you can now remove the belt tensioner, which is directly attached to the water pump. 10mm socket Now drain the coolant. Open the overflow at the top. On the passenger side of the radiator disconnect the lower radiator hose by using a vice grip to compress the clamp and pull it off the neck of the radiator. Gently pull the hose off and make sure you have a catch pan that can hold 3-4 gallons of fluid. I replaced both my upper and lower radiator hoses as well given their age. When the system is drained remove the thermostat housing also attached to the water pump 10mm socket. I bought a new one to replace it as I was already in there. This will leak so keep you catch can under the area. Disconnect the heater hoses and upper radiator hose from the water pump using a vice grip to work the clamps. Be patient and work the hoses off the pump and remember there will be fluid move your catch pan. Remove the water pump 10 mm socket 6 bolts. Just look at your new one you will see where they are. Here is a pic with the pump off There are two openings into the block that make contact with the water pump and have gaskets. Make sure to scrape off all of the old gasket material off the engine. When cleaned up grab the new water pump and thread the bolts in. place the gaskets on the backside using the bolts to hold them in place. Tighten the blots hand tight then torque to 22 ft lbs. Now its time to reverse the steps Put the thermostat housing (or new thermostat housing) on the new water pump Put the belt tensioner back on the new water pump Attach the heater hoses and lower radiator hose (mine was new) to the new water pump. Put the serpentine belt back on (AC belt too if you are replacing both) Put the fan clutch assembly on the new water pump pulley. I used the same make-shift plier gizmo to hold the pulley so I could tighten the fan properly. Put the fan cowl back on Attach the upper radiator hose (mine was new) Put the air intake hose/resonator back on the air box and throttle body Fill the system with 50% dexcool 50% distilled water (around 3 gallons) Reconnect the battery Start engine run for 20 seconds or so to move coolant around. Add fluid till you are at max cold level, run until you get to operating temperature, check for heat and give it a test drive. Next day check the level of fluid cold and add if needed. I am not a mechanic and it took about 5 hours taking my time & two trips for incorrect parts. The fan clutch took 90 minutes all on it's own. That was very frustrating. Having a second set of hands is helpful.

Nuts-and-bolts information to plan your trip, plus a checklist of essentials to include when you pack and a list of links to local media
Entry Requirements: U.S. citizens need a valid passport to enter Israel. An entry visa for up to 90 days is issued upon entry.
Security: Security is a top priority when planning a visit to Israel. Check the U.S. State Department International Travel Information site (travel.state.gov/travel) for updated travel restrictions and advisories. As with any major city, avoid walking alone at night and watch for pickpockets in crowded markets and on buses. Phone a taxi service to arrange for transportation, rather than hailing a cab on the street.
Time: Israel is seven hours ahead of U.S. eastern standard time.
Money: The currency of Israel is the New Israeli Shekel. For current conversion rates go to OANDA Currency Converter. www.oanda.com/convert/classic
Phone Calls: The country code of Israel is 972. Local and mobile telephone numbers begin with 0, which is omitted when dialing from abroad. Area codes should be omitted when dialing within the area. Pay phones require calling cards obtainable at post offices and street kiosks.
When to Go: The most pleasant seasons are spring and fall. Try to avoid Passover and the Jewish High Holidays. It does not normally rain from May to October. July and August are very hot and dry in Jerusalem, with average temperatures close to 85ºF (30ºC). The mountain air gets very cool in the evening, dropping to below 70ºF (20ºC). Winter is cold and rainy; average 59oF (15oC) daytime, 45oF (7oC) at night.
Getting There: El Al, the Israeli national carrier and a large number of major American and European airlines fly to Ben-Gurion-International Airport, a 40-minute drive from Jerusalem by private or shared taxi or by bus.
Getting Around: Handling Israeli drivers, traffic, parking, and confusing streets can be challenging. Egged, the local bus company, provides public transportation. No service from Friday afternoon until Saturday sundown. Taxis are available in the street but it is safer to call for a cab. Always ask to start the meter at the beginning of the trip.
Passport/Visa: Carry a passport or other valid photo identification with you at all times.
Medical Insurance: Excellent facilities are available in case of an emergency. Make sure you have appropriate medical insurance.
Weather: Umbrellas or raincoats are rarely needed in summer but be prepared for chilly evenings. Fall and winter can be very cold, and houses are not well heated.
Sunscreen and Hat: The summer sun is brutal. Use sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to prevent sunburn and heatstroke.
Water: In the hot, dry summer, severe dehydration can occur with virtually no warning signs. Drink plenty of water.
Footwear: Narrow, uneven sidewalks, slippery stone pavements, and lots of stairs make high heels and leather soles impractical and even hazardous. Wear comfortable, lightweight, rubber-soled shoes or sandals.
Clothing: Israel is very informal. Leave ties, jackets, and formal dresses at home unless you are on a business trip. Dress conservatively when visiting religious sites. Men are required to wear hats at Jewish sites but must take off hats at Christian sites. Remove shoes at mosques.

Satellite data and computer models allowed meteorologists to track Hurricane Sandy for days before it hit. With the storm still in the Caribbean, forecasters began to warn that the hurricane could veer onto a predicted track up the Atlantic coast and slam into land somewhere between the Mid-Atlantic and New England. The forecasts rapidly became more accurate.
Thanks to those warnings, lives were probably saved as mandatory evacuation orders were issued. People stocked up on food and water, boarded up homes and filled their cars' fuel tanks. The National Guard was deployed and Connecticut Light & Power sought out-of-state line workers to help restore power after the hurricane had passed.
It was not always so. The official weather forecast prior to New England being struck by a hurricane in 1938 was for cloudy skies with wind gusts. A lack of warning and preparation led to the death of more than 600 people as a result of the storm. Similarly, in 1919, a hurricane in Corpus Christi, Texas, killed 287, again because of lack of adequate warning and preparation.
Forecasters then relied on wind speed and barometric pressure for short-range predictions of the approach of a hurricane.
Despite the vast improvement in weather forecasts, meteorologists may again go partially blind. The polar satellites that map the world's weather are aging and expected to fail soon. The soonest the first replacement satellite may be launched is 2017, according to a report in The New York Times.
Loss of these satellites would not only severely hamper the ability to make long-range forecasts, but the ability to accurately gauge a storm's scope and intensity. The satellites provided 84 percent of the data used in the computer models that tracked Sandy's course.
The replacement program for the polar satellites is operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA. But, the program's problems are decidedly earthbound: poor management. Managers have been unable to agree on the cost or design of the replacement satellites.
NOAA officials are to appear before Congress to explain how the satellite program can stay on schedule and within its budget. The program needs to be revamped and the replacement satellites launched as soon as possible so that future hurricanes can be tracked accurately.

Just tried to resize an image for a signature pic..................
Seems like a good size to me... Definitely wouldn't go any smaller though.
I'd like to make it a little bit bigger. I just don't have any good photo shop type programs. I'll upload a few pics to an album on here and if someone is feeling generous maybe they can help. I've seen some that look like a banner and take up the whole bottom portion. Unfortunantly graphics aren't my thing.
There are some issues with resizing certain file types, let me see if I can fix it. That's the thumbnail size and it's not supposed to thumbnail the siggy images when uploaded.
Thanks.....I like the size of your sig pic..........
You don't need a special photoshop program to resize it.. You can do it right in Paint if you have a windows computer.
- - - Updated - - -
How's this for size?
I like that size.i saved on my computer and uploaded it as my signature pic so lets see how it looks.....thanks!!!
Ya, it is unecessary to use PS to process it to a target size, some small image processing program can finish it.

If you live in Rhode Island, own a television, and have a pulse, you know there is a quite nasty Congressional race underway, pitting Representative David Cicilline against Republican challenger Brendan Doherty.
But the Cicilline-Doherty tilt is not the only contest of consequence this election season. Rhode Island Speaker of the House Gordon Fox faces an unexpectedly spirited challenge. And a handful of state senate races could determine the fate of gay marriage legislation.
When the polls close, moreover, we should have a better sense for some of the big, long-term questions hovering over Rhode Island politics: Does the state's moribund Republican Party have a future? What is the shape of the 2014 governor's race? And does the truth matter anymore?
Heady stuff, eh?
The Phoenix's Election Spectacular is divided into two parts. Part I: the Cicilline-Doherty race. Part II: the rest. Let's dig in.
Part I: Cicilline and Doherty
A new WPRI-TV poll shows Cicilline clinging to a narrow 43-42 lead over Doherty, down from the six-point edge he held a month ago.
It is the first public poll conducted entirely after Doherty went on the air October 1 with a series of brutal attack ads on Cicilline. And while it is difficult to isolate the impact of those ads, the survey suggests they are working.
There is, of course, plenty of material for Doherty to exploit.
Cicilline was still serving as mayor of Providence when he launched his first Congressional bid in 2010. And his campaign declaration that the city was in "excellent" fiscal condition came back to bite him when new Providence Mayor Angel Taveras declared a "Category 5 hurricane" on the city's books after the election.
Doherty's first wave of negative ads focused on the imbroglio over Providence's finances. A second wave, launched just as the WPRI survey went into the field, targeted Cicilline for defending "rapists, pedophiles, and murderers" as a defense lawyer before he rose to the mayor's office. A new ad, paid for by the National Republican Congressional Committee, pounds the same theme in even tougher fashion.
This race is a referendum on the incumbent and the GOP is hitting as hard as it can. Will it be enough to put Doherty over the top? We'll know on election night.
Last winter, Cicilline pulled off a rather remarkable bit of gerrymandering — shuffling 75,000 voters between his district and that of Congressman James Langevin, when a simple shift of 7200 would have sufficed to even off the state's two Congressional districts.
After an initial explosion of attention — the Phoenix, with typical reserve, put a mushroom cloud on its cover and titled my behind-the-scenes account of the Cicilline-Langevin clash "Armageddon" — redistricting has received scant attention.
In a close election, though, Cicilline's gerrymander could make all the difference.
Redistricting excised Burrillville, where Cicilline did not perform well in the last election, and added south Providence — its large Latino population a mainstay of Cicilline's mayoral elections.
Of course, Latino turnout typically lags behind that of whites and blacks. But if Cicilline — aided by the presidential race at the top of the ticket — can get south Providence to the polls in substantial numbers, it could serve as a bulwark against Doherty's expected suburban strength.
Indeed, Cicilline will have to rack up big margins throughout Providence if he is to hold off his Republican opponent. And while there was some concern early on about how he'd perform in the staunchly Democratic capital city, given the fiscal hangover from his mayoralty, that concern seems to be fading with partisan allegiances hardening in the run-up to a high-profile election.
Doherty, meanwhile, will have to improve upon the performance of John J. Loughlin, II, the Republican who lost to Cicilline by six points in 2010. That means expanding on Loughlin's thin margins in the Blackstone Valley municipalities of Woonsocket and Cumberland. Doherty will also have to perform better than Loughlin in the tony East Bay.
Cicilline, like President Obama, has built his campaign around an appeal to a handful of key demographics: women, Latinos, and young people.
Women, of course, are the most important of those voting blocs — not just because they make up the largest chunk of the electorate, but because they are more likely to show up at the polls.
Cicilline has highlighted abortion rights whenever he can and touted his endorsements from the National Organization for Women and NARAL Pro-Choice America.
Doherty is hyper aware of the importance of the women's vote and he's made a concerted play in the closing weeks of the campaign. His ad highlighting Cicilline's defense of "rapists, pedophiles, and murderers" is at the center of that project.
Is it working? The WPRI poll went into the field just as it began airing, so it's difficult to know if the spot's effect was captured. But for what it's worth, Cicilline's 13-point edge with women voters was identical to his lead from a month previous.
That's either a sign of Cicilline's enduring appeal to women or evidence that Doherty has prevented the Congressman from expanding his margin with a key demographic, depending on your point of view.
One thing to keep in mind: the harsh tone of the Republicans' ads risks turning off some of the suburban women Doherty is hoping to win over.
Under normal circumstances, a Democratic incumbent in deep blue Rhode Island would cruise to re-election. The race is only tight because of Cicilline's misleading statements about the health of Providence's finances.
The contest, then, provides a fascinating case study in whether the truth still matters in American politics.
When it comes to the hyperpartisan presidential race, where driving the base to the polls is of primary importance, the answer seems a resounding "no." Hence, the Romney campaign's often jaw-dropping distortions.
But if the Romney-Ryan ticket benefits from the deep chasm between red and blue, it also gets a pass because of its relatively fresh faces. The nation, if a bit wary, is not yet disgusted with the pair. As I suggested in a Phoenix cover story in September (see "Does the Truth Matter?," 9.5.12), long-serving local pols like Cicilline don't have novelty on their side.
Rhode Island has known Cicilline for years; he lost his shine long before his statements about the capital city's balance sheet. And the electorate, its distaste mature, may be willing to push partisanship aside and boot the incumbent.
Cicilline hopes not. He is hammering Democratic talking points on Medicare, Obamacare, and taxes. He is constantly reminding voters about the GOP's national agenda, and constantly working to tie Doherty to that agenda.
We'll see, on election day, if "post-truth" politics plays on the local level.

Mayor calls for probe into mistaken gun arrest at Pride Fest
Mayor Steve Bach wants answers about CSPD mistake
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Colorado Springs mayor is calling for a investigation into the mistaken arrest of a man who was lawfully carrying a gun in Acacia Park.
Target 13 Investigates broke the story of how James Sorensen was detained, cited and taken to jail after at least five Colorado Springs police officers and sergeants stopped him at the city's gay pride festival for carrying an open gun.
There is no law or ordinance that prohibits open carries in city parks. TARGET 13 found a mistake in a CSPD "cheat sheet" officers were using that indicated an almost decade-old ordinance banning open guns was still in effect. The error has since been fixed.
On Monday, Mayor Steve Bach released a statement saying that Police Chief Pete Carey will "launch an expedited review of the Acacia Park open carry arrest, and take all action necessary to ensure the Colorado Springs Police Department is consistent and appropriate in it's actions in this type of situation."
CSPD confirmed to TARGET 13 last week that an internal investigation into what happened is underway.
Sorensen was was released from jail after an hour, and his gun was returned to him two days later. He was informed last week, nearly three weeks after the arrest, that the charge against him would be dropped.
He said he's hoping for a public apology from the officers.
"To be humiliated in front of all the people at the park and even my partner, that's just not proper for law enforcement officers," said Sorensen.
You can watch cellphone video that Sorensen's partner took of the arrest by clicking here.
The incident took place the day after the mass shooting in an Aurora movie theater. In additional cellphone video that was captured, two officers mention the shooting to bystanders, one saying, "Not a good subject right now."

a good team will always beat a group of individuals, but as far as the OP starhawk/warhawk can be played easily as an individual or lone wolf.
Re: Teamwork vs. Individuality In Starhawk
This thread reminds me of a little slogan I use to be involved with: "I am an Army of one." Thank you US Army for having the most contradicting slogan ever.
Re: Teamwork vs. Individuality In Starhawk[ Edited ]
For the most part sure. But I RARELY see anybody win a tough game of CTF by themselves. I am always coordinating attacks and flag grabs even when I don't get much help. And many of those games without help are simply me dying a ****load and winning or the game being a tie. Lone wolf flag running lol.
Sure in the air or tank as you are braping the other team. Any decent Warhawk player can do this. I see people who do nothing but this in games WHERE I am the one setting up the actual win which involved myriad numbers of other people. You can have a great KDR in either game, and I talk about SH to a much lesser extent especially since CTF is awful now, but those pilot only players with the great KDRs are rarely winning the game for their team. There is only so much you can do as a lone wolf and winning isn't really one of them.
It's up in the air how much that 44 and 6 guy actually did in the game when he has next to zero team points and hardly a base capped. Half the time they won't even help you get a flag out for fear of dying. It's patently ridiculous and so cowardly to take that route.

also, it may seem irrelevant for me to keep mentioning mgo, but I'll flesh the reasoning out a little later.
Here is a great article going into more detail about MGO, and how exactly it exemplifies and perfects the aspects of teamwork:http://www.gamersguidetolife.com/2010/11/why-metal-gear-online-is-best-game-ever.html
Anyways, while MGO was amazing for teamwork and extremely satisfying in coordination of objectives, it was at the expense of fun sometimes. Meaning that it was so hardcore, so team driven, so full of "pros" that it was hard to just pop it in and have quick fun matches (although online games in general need to glean some of the ways it perfected teamwork/clans). While on the other hand a game like warhawk, although not as tactical, cooperative, or arguable engrossing was always fun––I and most people, mostly soloed while if you wanted you could work together. SO in this sense games like warhawk, and subsequently starhawk, have always been relaxed and chill games for me.
In my experience with the PS3 only two online games have captivated me, the first warhawk (and subsequently starhawk), and the other MGO---the first for it's relaxed and always fun nature, and the other for it's hardcore cooperative and deeply satisfying nature.
Starhawk as a whole though lends itself to more cooperation and strategy than say Warhawk (hence I created the tactics thread), but there needs to be more incentive/need for it. The one man army that the hawk can become is the biggest challenge in my opinion. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
Re: Teamwork vs. Individuality In Starhawk
This is taken from a zones persepctive:
You can go solo, sure, but plenty fo times I find people working as a team and they will run the table.
I mean, a tank can be devestating, but a guy on an RB teamed with another guy gunning can ruin it.
Re: Teamwork vs. Individuality In Starhawk
Good topic.
I think it's a little of both.
For someone wanting to emphasis the teamwork, you really have to be social in some sense.
There are those who intentionally will not get on the mic because they don't want to socialize.
Even if the convo is strictly about what's going on in the game. I am ok with that.
I like the teamwork in starhawk because it's a good feeling when people are performing their role
in the game. Even in a loss. I can take a loss if we work good as a team.
I've noticed that with the top players, their win/loss ratio is at least 3 or 4 to 1.
That speaks volume which means that the very best players in this game can play as an individual.
But those are more the exception than the rule.
Re: Teamwork vs. Individuality In Starhawk
Thanks everyone for all the great replies to my post.
I personally feel Starhawk is more about the individual than the team "most" of the time and here is why I feel this way.
First, your team will almost always win if you have at least one or two more skilled pilots on your team than the other team.
Skilled pilots keep the other team from gaining map control and keeps the other team in a constant re-build mode for much of the round.
Starhawk's game mechanic does this without any need to talk to your fellow teammates. You get in your Hawk and start hunting anything with a red triangle above it's head and start pounding the enemy's structures.
When Hawks are not available, again just a few more skilled players on one team makes all the difference in most cases.
The player's own personal need for high kills scores forces the player to go on the hunt without the need of the others on his or her team.
As for modes other than TDM, you do need to work as a team for a greater chance of success but I have personally captured the flag or captured zones hundreds of times without the need of my fellow teammates directly. It was often more difficult but not impossible if you first weakened the other teams defenses. I would bet most of us have done this as well.
Only when you have a skilled couple of enemy defenders does this really get difficult to do but you could often have success with the right strategy.
Most of us by now have played hundreds, if not thousands, of rounds without ever having to communicate to our fellow teammates for the win. Starhawk just doesn't force players to depend on others in this way. Sure, successful clans know that communication is key but even when I find myself in a match with mostly clans, rarely do I ever hear them talk about the needs of their team to each other.
It quickly (at least for most of us) becomes instinctual as to what needs to be done to win a round. Each of us plays to their own strengths. We quickly adapt to the changing conditions on the battlefield. All without much need to communicate with each other. I guess that alone is a pseudo form of teamwork but again I feel that the individual strengths of a few outweigh a team of less skilled players.
Not that is a bad thing, but Starhawk, again in my opinion, doesn't force teamwork as much as you would think. At least not like many other modern multiplayer games do. Players just "learn" what needs to be done and more often win based on the skills of a few.
I'm sure not all of you will agree but that has been my experience ever since the beta.
Thanks again for reading.
Re: Teamwork vs. Individuality In Starhawk
I really think something like the codec should be put into other multiplayer games.

Jaw-Dropping Scenery in the Black Hills
Spearfish Canyon Lodge • Lead, SD
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Standard Room ($69)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in a Standard Room with Two Entrees and Two Non-Alcoholic Beverages at the Latchstring Inn ($159)
- One Breakfast for Two
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Six Nights
The Destination
The Black Hills of South Dakota are known for spectacular scenery. Imagine waking in the morning to see a herd of deer scampering beneath birch trees that cling to the walls of towering limestone cliffs. On any given day, you can scan for fossils in the thick and weathered limestone, spy wildlife from mountain goats to porcupines, and lift the veil on the majestic rush of the Bridal Veil Falls. Hiking trails are plentiful, as are opportunities for golfing, bird-watching, and snowmobiling, depending on the season.
The Digs
Spearfish Canyon Lodge makes the most of its scenic location. View the world in a whole new light from the lodge's stone hearth—tall windows look out into Spearfish Canyon, gem of the ancient Black Hills and quiet enough to hear a pin drop. Mountain-rustic Standard Rooms are outfitted with two queen-size beds, a nightstand, table, chair, and of course, a prime view of the forested landscape. But you'll also have modern amenities like TV with cable and Wi-Fi at your fingertips.
Take in the rustic simplicity of the Latchstring Inn's light wood dining room with its high, arced ceilings, polished beams, and wall mounts as you tuck into a meal of trout Amandine served with beurre blanc, a beer batter muffin, and Chocolate Decadence (it's everything you think it is). Then relax for the rest of the evening on the lodge's balcony hot tub.
The Diversions
• Sample local wines at Prairie Berry Winery
• Ride the mountain trails on a snowmobile
• Hike the Little Spearfish Falls Trail
• Tee off at Tomahawk Lake Country Club
• Saddle up for a trail ride with Black Hills Horseback Tours
"This lodge-style hotel commands some of the best views in the Black Hills. Limestone cliffs rise nearly 1,000 feet in all directions. The rooms are furnished in natural woods, and fabrics are dark maroon and green."-- Read Fodor's Review of Spearfish Canyon Lodge

The 'Old West' in Sisters going digital
Sisters Movie House makes leap to digital projectors
SISTERS, Ore. - Sisters, Oregon, nestled at the foot of the Cascades, iconic for its western theme. If you want to take in the latest Hollywood blockbuster it's only fitting you head to the movie house.
"My name is Beth Eckstine, and I will be your projectionist today," the lady at the front of the audience said with a smile.
The manager still greets patrons and introduces the matinee show, and though the theater is fairly young -- opening just eight years ago -- film still twists and turns its way through the projectors.
But not for long.
"So today is our last day with film, so it's kind of a big event," Eckstine said over the weekend. "Tomorrow, we will actually be digital."
With a flick of a switch and a pop, the last showing of Zero Dark Thirty is under way.
"We've had a lot of people come to see the last film here, so it's kind of nostalgic," said Eckstine.
Starting Monday, three of the four film projectors were swapped out with new digital ones. Eckstine says people coming to watch a movie when the debut the new technology Wednesday will notice a difference, from sound to the picture.
"You can sometimes see our splicing, which is when we put two films together, and it's a yellow piece of tape, and you can sometimes see that, as with digital you wouldn't," Eckstine said.
Change was inevitable, but a fading art of stitching film and the iconic sound it makes flapping through the projectors will never be forgotten.
"It really is a beautiful sound," Eckstine said. "I don't know, I could fall asleep to this really. But yeah, I'm both happy and sad."

A Tokoroa dog on death row for more than two years with a bill nearing $80,000 in upkeep and legal costs has been sentenced to death.
Jimbo, an American staffordshire, has been in custody since November 2010 after he tore into a hutch and mauled a young girl's rabbits in Tokoroa, killing one of them.
While he was locked up in a Tokoroa dog pound, Jimbo is then alleged to have savaged a pitbull cross.
Yesterday at the Tokoroa District Court his owner Carolyn King and the South Waikato District Council continued their battle over his fate in the ongoing saga where she was found guilty under the Dog Control Act over the rabbit attack.
Mrs King and the South Waikato District Council reached an agreement where she would pay $2000 towards his sustenance costs.
The South Waikato District Council provided figures for the Herald showing the dog's incarceration and his ongoing legal battle had cost nearly $77,000. Of that, nearly $6000 was needed for the dog's daily sustenance.
Mrs King's lawyer, Scott Ngapo-Lipscombe, said Mrs King was "upset and disappointed" with the decision. He said she was resigned to his fate and was unlikely to use the 30 days she is allowed to appeal the decision before the council can legally have the dog destroyed.
"This was a champion show dog and she had a certificate to prove it," said Mr Ngapo-Lipscombe.
"But having been in a pound for more than two years it really has deteriorated and from her point of view the pound has done quite an appalling job of looking after her dog."
Mrs King had earlier been convicted under the Dog Control Act over both incidents and Jimbo was sentenced to death but last year her convictions were quashed - and her pet's life saved - when she appealed to the High Court and won.
The High Court agreed with a District Court finding that the dog represented a high level of risk and should be destroyed but neither could issue an order to destroy the dog as Ms King had not committed an offence.
South Waikato District Council chief executive David Hall said the council was concerned about the public's safety and he was convinced the dog would offend again if released.
"This dog attacked and killed another person's pet and subsequently attacked another dog, very nearly killing it, while in the pound," he said. "We believe that, if released, it will almost certainly attack again. This is not a risk we as a council are prepared to take."
Jimbo limbo over
Legal costs : $67,503.09
Vet costs: $1502.80
Food (recommend by vet for long-term stay): $732

NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.
good mothers let you lick the beaters - great mothers turn it off first
I am a home winemaker and in the process of sanitizing equipment I use Potassium metabisulphite. About a tablespoon of Potassium metabisulphite dissolved in a quart of water can be used to kill bacteria, yeast and mold. It is the gas from this solution that is the most effective. YOU DON'T WANT TO BREATHE IN THE FUMES if you can avoid it. I have but boy do your lungs burn if you do. Make the solution and put about a cup in a small bowl in the bottom of a large plastic bag. Set the case (not the machine) over the bowl in the bag and close the bag securely. I would think that a couple days would be enough time for it to penetrate and kill the offenders. It will bleach some old fabrics so don't spill it on the felt. I doubt that it would hurt the exterior if wiped on and then off. Unless you are allergic to it, it shouldn't bother your hands as I use it on my hands in the winemaking process. The powder, Potassium metabisulphite, can be obtained at a wine making supply shop or some large family run pharmacies might be willing to order it for you. After removing from the plastic bag, let the case air out in the sun for a day (or less...sniff to decide). Unfortunately the Potassium metabisulphite is packaged in a greater quantity than you need but you can share with friends or your quilt guild. If you are a red wine drinker, it doesn't hurt to keep a spray bottle, properly labeled, in your laundry. If red wine is spilled on a tablecloth or carpet, give it a spray and watch the magic begin. Talk about getting the red out...it is the best (for wine, not eyes!). I haven't had a problem with it on modern fabrics but do the usual, test on an inconspicuous area first. Oh yes, whatever is left in the bowl can be poured back in your solution bottle. Potassium metabisulphite is sometimes sold as Campden tablets. I hope you have good luck with this. The solution can be washed down your drain safely if followed by water.
I have a pink Necchi. Lelia, I think. I do remember that the model number is a 512.
If you are interested I can send you a picture after I get back to Sacramento tomorrow.

Thank you, I remember seeing it at the TOGA in your sewing room. I have a SuperNova, I think my favorite style, shape for sewing machines, is the more traditional shape. I just love the Singer 99K's, don't know what it is about them. Here is a picture of my pink, really a (coral color) machine.
I think my grandsons would be interested in this machine

that game wasn't even fun for giants fans to watch.

that game wasn't even fun for giants fans to watch.
What a ****ing beat down.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
i was working during it. saw all of the giants interceptions, but missed all of the fourth quarter until the last play. how long did kaepernick play for? did alex smith get benched?
you guys are poorly coached, but you still could be the 2nd best team team in the NFL, so just go kick butt and invite us back
but dont expect anything less than what we brought today !!!
Alex needs to move waaaaay beyond game manager to win anything real !
Apologize to Melo 5
If you didn't have fun watching that game you are not a Giants fan.
That game was awesome to watch for me. Very exciting beating the "best team" in the NFL.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Gorgeous! I am really into Japanese SM's. Maybe because they are so easy to use AND so sturdy. I am working on a Mercury Electric Dial-O-Matic that is so awesome. Once I finish cleaning it up, I will post pics.
Congrats. You will love sewing with it. I love the Japanese machines my self. I just recently got a Vogue Stitch blue metal SM. I am sending it to Billy for a spa treatment with then next month.
I just bought one exactly like this at the Goodwill! Would love some info, too.
I just bought this same machine and haven't been able to find out anything about it. The guy I bought it from said he got it from an estate sale. He rehabs old machines and sells them, but said he'd never seen one like this. We'll just keep searching!
What a beautiful color! Please keep up posted whe you find new information for your machine.
I just saw one of these machines at a sewing machine place. I left he, but it is calling to me. Maybe I ought to ask Santa for it.
Oat - I have this machine myself and use it regularly. I received it from my grandmother who bought it brand new in 1958. I do have the original instruction manual and also the matching blue metal case that holds the attachments. The attachments manual is also here with me. The pictures you posted are exactly what I have, same model 303 other than mine is on a sewing machine table that stores the machine inside when not in use. And your serial number 4003 is slightly lower than mine. Let me know if I can help in any way to get you the information in the instruction book.
Sorry I can't help you, but it's sure a beautiful machine. I'm sure that someone will be able to help you though.
As soon as I can I will scan the entire manual and have it available for anyone who needs it. Not sure if there is somewhere here to post that on this site? Guess I will find that out when the time comes.
I can send it directly to you either way.
