"I began my musical journey in 1998, singing for various metal/rock acts around Vancouver. In 2005, I embarked on a lengthy touring career with Canada's Metal icons Into Eternity. I am currently the vocalist for Iced Earth (or else you wouldn't be reading my biography here).
"What I'm known for - in addition to my passion for Horror movies - is my versatility and range with various vocal styles. I call what I do being a 'hybrid vocalist,' which means I utilize vocal styles from many genres of Metal, from Death to Thrash to soaring Power Metal. I have a talent for easily and smoothly transitioning between each style. I'm also known for my very high and strong falsetto range - which certainly comes in handy when singing the type of music I love. And I mean that literally. I love what I do. When I sing, I sing with heart.
"With Into Eternity, I played on two albums - 'The Scattering of Ashes' and 'The Incurable Tragedy.' My first album with Iced Earth is 'Dystopia.' All have been on the Century Media label.
"I can't wait to see you out on the road with Iced Earth!"

Pitt is 19-29 vs. GU in Big East Conference games. Since the 2001-02 season, Pitt has won five of its last seven at the Verizon Center. The Panthers own a 13-21 all-time record in games played at Georgetown.
PITTSBURGH--No. 5/5 ranked Pitt (15-1, 3-0 Big East) travels to No. 22/19 Georgetown (12-4, 1-3 Big East) for a Wednesday, January 12 contest at the Verizon Center. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. ET.
The game will be televised nationally on ESPN with Dave Pasch (play-by-play), Bob Knight (color analyst) and Holly Rowe (sidelines) calling action. Aaron Stojkov will handle production.
A win would give Pitt its third straight 4-0 start to a Big East regular season. Pitt is off to a 3-0 start to Big East play for a third consecutive season following victories over Marquette (89-81), No. 4 Connecticut (78-63) and at Providence (83-79). Against Marquette, Pitt used a 22-6 first half run to propel itself to a home win over the Golden Eagles. The Panthers, who set season-highs for field goal percentage (60.0) and 3-point field goal percentage (39.6), were led by at least eight points throughout the majority of the game. Ashton Gibbs led the Panthers with 19 points and four 3-pointers, Brad Wanamaker scored 15 points, Gilbert Brown 14 and Gary McGhee 12 (5-5 FG).
After leading for the majority of the contest at Providence, Pitt used a 9-0 run to erase a four point deficit with 1:31 to go, taking advantage of two Gary McGhee free throws and a go-ahead 3-pointer by Travon Woodall to seal the win. Pitt hit nine consecutive free throws to conclude the contest. Despite committing a season-high 23 turnovers for a team that led the nation in assist:turnover ratio, Pitt won its 14th road game in its last 20 opportunities. Gilbert Brown led the Panthers with 19 points, 17 coming in a first half which saw him hit a career-high five 3-pointers.
Pitt and Georgetown renew their 98-year, 74-game rivalry on Wednesday. Pitt owns a 33-40 all-time record vs. Georgetown but has won 10 of the series' last 16 games and claimed five of its last seven meetings at the Verizon Center. Pitt is 13-21 all-time in games played at Georgetown. Georgetown ranks No. 3 nationally in the ratings percentage index.
On a two-game road win streak, Pitt has won 14 of its last 20 road games. Over the last 10 seasons, Pitt owns the Big East's best road winning percentage with a 47-30 record. On the road last year, Pitt finished 5-4 in Big East conference play.
Riding a five-game win streak, Pitt enters its game vs. No. 22 Georgetown on a six-game Big East regular season win streak.
A win would give Pitt a 4-0 start to the Big East regular season for the third consecutive season and seventh 4-0 start to league regular season play over the last 10 years.
Pitt plays its second road game of the year as the Panthers have won 14 of their last 20 games away from home. Over the last 10 years, Pitt owns the Big East's best road winning percentage with a 47-30 combined record. On the road last year, Pitt finished 5-4 in Big East conference play.
With an RPI rank of No. 7, Pitt plays its third ranked opponent of the year. Pitt is 1-1 vs. top-25 opponents this season.
Over the last 10 seasons, Pitt has proved to be the Big East's leader in overall winning percentage (260-66, .797), league winning percentage (112-41, .732), consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances (9) and most 20-win, 10-win Big East years (9).

If you want to write an extension that supports Flask 0.7 session monkey patching and the new 0.8 session interface we recommend this glue code:
from flask.sessions import SessionMixin, SessionInterface
except ImportError:
class SessionInterface(object):
class SessionMixin(object):
def _get_permanent(self):
return self.get('_permanent', False)
def _set_permanent(self, value):
self['_permanent'] = bool(value)
permanent = property(_get_permanent, _set_permanent)
del _get_permanent, _set_permanent
# you can use a werkzeug.datastructure.CallbackDict
# to automatically update modified if you want, but
# it's not a requirement.
new = False
modified = True
class MySession(dict, SessionMixin):
class MySessionInterface(object):
def open_session(self, app, request):
# load the session and return it.
return MySession()
def save_session(self, app, session, response):
# save the session
def init_my_extension(app):
if not hasattr(app, 'session_interface'):
app.open_session = lambda r: \
app.session_interface.open_session(app, r)
app.save_session = lambda s, r: \
app.session_interface.save_session(app, s, r)
app.session_interface = MySessionInterface()
The minimum interface expected is that open session returns an object that implements this:
1. it has a
permanent attribute. The mixing automatically stuffs that into the session itself.
2. it either has
modified automatically set to
True or it tracks assignments to the dict.
3. it has a
new attribute which however is not required to be set to
True for new sessions but if possible, it should be supported.
Generally it is however recommended that extensions do not attempt to support 0.7 for new session backends due to the added complexity.

Shop Heater Exhaust
I recently picked up an older Reznor XL 170 shop heater. I am in the planning stages of installation and was wondering if I can run the exhaust on a combination horizontal/vertical run. I am installing the heater on the gable end of the shop approx 12'from floor. The shop peak is 20' from floor. I would really like to run exhaust out gable wall instead of vertical vent through roof. The heater doesn't have an exhaust fan. Thanks in advance for your input. :whistling2:
That unit is designed for a vertical stack to provide draft to the burner chamber for proper operation. A short horizontal near the heater less than 1/4 of the rise is ok, but that is it.

Three prescriptions for one patient encounter count as only one e-prescribing incident. Reporting the G-code still is necessary even if you participate in the electronic health record (EHR) incentive program. ExemptionsYou are automatically exempt from the 2013 e-prescribing penalty if:
ExemptionsYou are automatically exempt from the 2013 e-prescribing penalty if:
*See page 2 of TMA's 2012 e-prescribing informational paper.
You may log on to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Communication Support Page and attest that you are eligible for one or more of the following exemptions:
To access the exemption request form, visit the CMS Communication Support Page.
If you do not already e-prescribe in your office, now is the time to begin. If you do not already use an electronic health record (EHR) system with e-prescribing capabilities, you can install a stand-alone e-prescribing system and still meet the approaching deadline.
Incentives Physicians may receive a 1-percent bonus on 2012 Medicare Part B claims (and prevent the 2-percent penalty in 2014) by e-prescribing and reporting G-code G-8553 on 25 claim forms for 25 unique Medicare patient visits by Dec. 31, 2012. Follow the instructions in TMA's 2012 e-prescribing informational paper, or e-mail or call the TMA HIT helpline for more information at (800) 880-5720.
If you need help with e-prescribing, turn to the Texas regional extension centers (RECs). RECs provide support to physicians to help with e-prescribing, EHR selection, workflow analysis, staff training, EHR incentives, and much more. Visit TMA's Texas REC Resource Center for more information.
CMS has offered the e-prescribing incentive since 2009 to encourage e-prescribing to improve the efficiency and safety of health care. E-prescribing is a way to prevent medication errors that arise due to difficulties in reading or understanding handwritten prescriptions.
If you plan to apply for the Medicare EHR incentive in 2012, note that you cannot receive the e-prescribing incentive in the same payment year. CMS can still penalize physicians enrolled in the federal Medicare EHR incentive program in 2013 if they do not report 10 e-prescriptions via claims using G-code G8553. Physicians applying for the Medicaid EHR incentive are still eligible for e-prescribing incentive payments.
2012 Penalty Physicians who did not e-prescribe and report the G-code at least 10 times by June 30, 2011, or did not apply for and receive an exemption are penalized 1 percent of their Medicare Part B claims. Physicians who act this year will not receive a penalty in 2013. There is no formal appeal or informal review process for the 2012 penalties. You may submit all inquiries to the QualityNet Help Desk for CMS examination. You may contact the Help Desk by telephone at (866) 288-8912 (TTY [877] 715-6222) from 7 am to 7 pm, Monday through Friday, or by email.

Hey GR, im in quite a dilema. I've been saving my cash up
for quite some time to buy the PS2, but now, im utterly
confused. I seriously dont know what i should do, get the
PS2 now, or wait for the other next-gen consoles. I really
dont want what happened to the Dreamcast to happen to the
PS2 if i get it, and im pretty sure it wont, but theres
always a possibility. You probably get this question a
lot, but please do you guys think you should all take a
vote or something to tell us (the gaming community) what
your opinion is, if microsoft hasnt sucked it outa you,
which i highly doubt for i am a loyal reader.
-MacUser Hendee
Quite honestly,
we were hoping that after E3 no one would ask this question again. But
all E3 managed to do was confuse our already cluttered brains.
All three systems
look incredibly promising, with the Nintendo GameCube
being the biggest surprise of the show. The bulk of their games consisted
of Mario
style and Starfox
games, which may turn off some gamers, but the breathtaking Star
Wars: Rogue Leader demonstrates the awesome power of the system
from a third-party perspective. And who can beat the GameCube's MSRP
of $199?
The PS2 had
the largest number of games, including some very cool titles like GTA3,
and Devil
May Cry, plus the promise (if confusing and uncertain) for
online playability very soon. Oh, and there's always that little MGS
2 game. Frankly, we'd be totally shocked if the system went under
any time soon, based solely on the fact that so many titles are currently
in development and the system still has quite a buzz (unlike the Dreamcast,
which never really competed).
Oddly, the Xbox
was probably the least impressive of the three. The games that were
there looked very promising, but there just wasn't nearly the presence
we were expecting. We
did, however, get our questions about Halo
cleared up.
So where do
things stand? Well, considering that only one system is currently available,
there's no reason to start freaking out just yet. By the time the GameCube
and Xbox launch in November, Sony may very well drop the price of the
PS2 to better compete. We should also have a better sense of the online
capabilities of the systems by then.
For the time
being, we suggest holding off on purchasing a new rig unless you're
really hard up for next-gen joy. The plethora of questions out there
will be answered when the consoles actually hit shelves. In the meantime,
enjoy the summer and go buy some PC games! =)

I had a rhinoplasty 5 years ago (osteotomies to narrow my bridge and tip refinement). My nose still looks normal, but as time has progressed it has continued to "morph" slightly. My tip cartilages have become slightly more visible (they are tiny and pointy) and my alar creases are more prominent. Overall, my nose looks more "done" and sharper than it did just 2 years ago. How will my nose continue to change as I age? Should I expect to need a revision one day?
How Does a Post-op Nose Change As You Age?
Doctor Answers 3
Post operative nose five years
At this point you should not see any changes in the nose to the particular areas you are discussing. All noses change slightly with the natural aging process and also with extensive weight gain or loss. Five years post rhinoplasty your results should be final excluding the aforementioned circumstances. Best regards!
Web reference: http://www.michaelelammd.com
Post Operative Changes to Nose As You Age
A nose can change by the skin thinning, the nose dropping, and if you've had previous rhinoplasty. If there was ever a deformity, it can become more transparent over time.
Changes after rhinoplasty
The extent to which your changes beyond 5 after surgery depends on a number of factors:
- How much structure (cartilage and bone) was removed at time of surgery
- Whether you have any injury to the nose
- How thin your skin is
- Whether your face loses much fat

It's not really. Kind of. At least the Hymns are based in More solid Biblical Theology then some of the songs that churches like this sing. It's kind of a Parody. I'm not saying these kinds of churches can't be good. I just find them not to be my style. RiverView here in the Lansing Area (holt) is one of these churches and it's a Great church. Unfortunately, alot of these kinds of churches JOIN the all to common traditional churches in having Shallow Sermons and following a Clear Cut Way of going about the service. Dry, Almost Droan like, easy in, Easy out.
What it boils down to is A mixture. You need to do things to attract people to your church. The problem with this is that doing that can become the main goal. Then it becomes more about Quantity then Quality. That's why I dislike alot of churches like this. At a couple here in Lansing I can walk in and walk out with out talking to a single person. Never Noticed. The Sermons are ok but not suburb because they don't know who will be in the Pews (so to speak) the next Sunday. They have no Depth to thier ministry Because it's all about how many people they get in the door. People just don't feel valued but are awestruck at how awesome the Light show was during worship.

I hate flat tires. A 7mm mag should suit your needs just fine. Large caliber weapons are not a substitute for accuracy. If you invest in quality optics, a 7mm will bring down any North American big game animal. Shot placement is key.

First of all, Hello and salutations to every one!
Well the wife and I just had a baby two weeks ago and we we're driving to my parents house to visit and let them take a look at their grand daughter. While on the drive we we're talking about the future of this nation and it turned to the topic of firearms. I'm an avid firearms enthusiast and I would love to get into a gunsmith school (looking into it). Currently, I'm in the Navy so that has to be put on hold for a little while until I can get out and use my G.I. Bill to finance. Any way, we we're on the topic of which guns I would purchase next. I have plenty of handguns and shotguns, but I lack in the department of high powered rifle. The only rifles I own are a "black rifle" (I refuse to call them "assault rifles") and a .22 LR. She's is very pro-firearms as she grew up in the last frontier of Alaska (I snagged a good one). I told her I was in the market for another "high capacity" or standard, as I call it, handgun such as a 9mm. I was also either looking at a 30-06 or 308 for high power rifle. So the conversation wraps up and "BANG" tire blows out. Thankfully, it went very well and I guided the vehicle to the side of the road where I proceeded to change the flat. So we get back on the road again going very slow now trying to make it to the next town and started feeling some big vibrations. So once again I pull over to the side and now the spare has gone flat. I remembered I had thrown a can of fix a flat in the trunk a couple weeks prior, so I empty the can of fix flat in the spare and we're ready to go again. This time staying on the shoulder with hazards going driving at 15MPH. Finally, we come up to the exit and wouldn't you know it. Exit 308. Was this a sign? I think so.....
Now, I need help from you guys. I need some advice as to which one to purchase. I've shot 30-06 but never 308. What would you recommend for Alaska big game hunting? Keep in mind I might have to reach out there a ways to tag some of these big game (caribou, musk cox, reindeer, moose). Also, recommend some good scopes because I want to invest in the scope just as much the rifle. I'm looking for a synthetic stock rifle as well, suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

"Government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem". - Ronald Reagan 1981
Do you want a bolt action hunting-only type rifle? If so the 7mm caliber is outstanding for accuracy and big game performance.
From your post it sounded like you wanted a .308 - if that's the case there are quite a few semi-auto "military-type" rifles that normally use 20 round mags, but can also take 5 round mags for hunting. M1A, FAL, PTR-91 for a start.
I would also say the 7mm mag, it will take anything Alaska throws at it. Top it off with a nice Huskemaw scope and you are all set. Good luck.
Yes, it was a sign. A .308 would be a good choice.
The 7MM Mag is a good choice but in my experience it had too much recoil for me; the 30/06 has taken everything from rabbits to elephants and with the proper bullets will serve you well. I do not have much experience with the 308 yet but it is very close to the 30/06 in performance. One other suggestion is the 7MM Mauser it is only a few fps slower than the 7MM Mag but the recoil is much less with the same bullets.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

I lived in Alaska, hunted moose and caribou, and I'd reccommend the -06 (what I used) over the 308 because you can load a heavier bullet. The -06 was about minimal up there, the 300 Win Mag being very popular, with the .338 being more popular for those with bears in mind. The 7mm looses some of its advantages with heavy bullets, and has a tendency to loosen teeth after a few shots.
Shooting range can vary greatly there, from nose length to over the horizon. I've shot caribou at 350+ yards and at 20 feet. They are really stupid and will come to you. Moose are where you find them, often across open marsh at longer range.

Congrats on the new bundle of joy! Being a parent is the best job ever! Flat tires scare the heck out of me. Glad you all are alright. I was told that the .06 was great because, as others have mentioned, it can take a heavier bullet. Additionally while 7mm may be slightly flatter the availability of ammo is less. Now in normal times that isnt a big deal, but I always consider the worst of times or reloading when buying. Can't wait to see what you get!
"Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" ~ Mark Twain
I know a lot of people are suggesting .308 and 7mm. I am not in a position to give advice on those, but I love the 30-06. The 30-06 is large enough to take any game in North America, and versatile enough to bring the loads down to something appropriate to smaller game. When reloading, one can customize a round to a wide variety of needs.
Your post had me thinking the "blow out" would be between your wife and yourself. For the first few months after each of my kids were born, I had no idea what position my wife would take on any topic. Liked a particular song yesterday, didn't mean she would like it today.

I had a childhood dream that i've had as long as i can remember, and that was to skydive, it was not something i thought to much about, but it popped into my mind from time to time, however i never thought i would get around to do it.
The summer 2012 changed my life! - i was at work, having a 2 weeks vacation coming up and i was just browsing websites in hopes of finding something cool i could do in my Summer vacation (not travel related). I stumbled upon skydiving and i was hyped right from the moment the thought hit my mind... this was it, i was gonna do it! - perfect time, i called the skydive company asap and had a time and a date booked
The skydiving place, was really close to where i lived, we drove out there, with family and friends. When we got out there then we followed the instructions and so on, signed the paper that said "you can die from this!" and so on, yada yada yada. When i got into the plane that's where i really knew, its gonna happened there is no way back, my mind was on drugs kinda it felt like it was gonna blow anytime soon. We flew up and up... and oh my, 4km up is waaaay higher then you might think, a instructor pointed over at another peace of land that was separated by water and said "see, that's Sweden".
When it was time, the door got removed and i hanging in my instructor out the plane. It was like, my brain was 1 big red alert light just going "TURN AROUND, DON'T DO THIS, IT'S INSANE".
2 seconds later we jumped out, it was the most amazing rush, it felt like my body was gonna explode. After the initial take off, then when we got stable and i could figure out what was up and down that was amazing, just racing toward the ground but you're free like a bird, its a feeling that i can't describe something that has to be experienced and i sure will do it again.
When i got to the ground (one way or another you will) then i think my brain was fried, i was exhausted and really tired. I've got told it because of the huge amount of adrenalin my body was releasing.
It took me a long time to really absorb the feeling and understand what i did, however it was simply just amazing. Since that day then I've been determent to try something else and get more amazing experiences, so a month later i started looking into another experience.... Backpacking! - it was perfect, it was all about experiences and being free, just what i wanted.
Tell about YOUR turning point, if you have had one yet? - maybe you're still looking for it?
What made you take the leap and go for it? both in traveling and skydiving. I would love to hear from you. :)

easy kitchen faucet install question
1 Attachment(s)
I installed a new faucet and everything is great except the actual faucet is loose. Ive circled the problem in the attached photo. The nut holding whatever the rubber part is to the sink will tighten to a point and then let go. It never gets tight enough to give the faucet a tight feel when handling it. How do I rectify this?
If the nut is popping loose then you either stripped the nut or the threaded shaft---
Either replace the nut or the faucet---not good--sorry.--Mike---
If it's the shaft you might be able to add washers or a spacer to avoid the damaged area.
Are you sure you used all the parts in the correct order? It's hard to over tighten those nuts so close to the hose.
Can you try removing the shaft, and reversing it?
As I recall that faucet comes with a plastic wrench to tighten that nut----I wonder if the wrench split and pops open --failing to actually turn the nut.

Erik Barnouw, House with a Past
Mary Hays:
"This is a detailed narrative about an owner's search during the 1950s into the history of an old stone house in Benson, Vermont. Ultimately Barnouw finds historical evidence for a connection between the building and the establishment in the 1830s of the first Mormon congregation in New England. Along the way the reader learns about the town, the times and the social and religious history of that geographic area.
The fact that it's something like a mystery makes it easy reading for adults and high school students. The writer's style is engaging. It contains maps, photographs, and diagrams and could serve as a resource for a high school research project. It could also serve as an inspiration for research into unusual local buildings by students or a whole class."
Leslie Ercole:
"I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very easy to read and the topic was interesting. This book brings to light the impact that a few (27) individuals had on an entire church and its development.
I think that this book could be read by an upper grade middle school student. It does have some primary documents within the text that a student could use. The entire text is based on primary documents within the text that a student could use. The entire text is based on primary documents. It could be used to indicate the impact the primary documents have in helping us to rewrite the past.
The important points about Vermont history are related to the role of Mormons in southern Vermont, the development of a religious group that would have tremendous impact on the organization of the Mormons during their trek across the country.
The story begins with the purchase of a stone house for $85.00 and then to the purchase of the land that the house sits on. It continues with Erik, a professor at Columbia, delving into the origins of the building and its place within the Benson community. The book takes us through the history of the Mormon religion in the state of Vermont and then across the country. Vermonters were key individuals within the Mormon Church and their roles are identified."
Standards connections:
6.5 Traditional and Social Histories
Students investigate both the traditional and the social histories of the people, places, and cultures under study, including those of indigenous peoples. This is evident when students identify and analyze the influence of various groups on major issues and events under study.
6.8 Movements and settlements
Students analyze the factors and implications associated with the historical and contemporary movements and settlements.
Liz Snell:
"This book is easy, accessible reading for high school and middle school students. The fact that it's short is also a feature that makes it useful. One of the most interesting aspects of the book is the search process the family went through to find out about the early inhabitants of their house. As a model of a research process it is a great source, as well as being informative about its subject.
Tracing the "secret" of the group of Mormons who left Benson in the early 1800s made the story read like a mystery. The connection with the Mormons was a good one for research in terms of having records available to trace families. The persecution of the Mormons on their search for a homeland, particularly in Missouri, was a point of interest."
Phil Elwert, "All Around Robinson's Barn," Vermont History News, Vol. 36, #5, (Nov - Dec 1985): 125-139.
Leslie Ercole:
"This is actually a pamphlet that I think middle school students could read with a study guide to go along with it so students are sure to pick up the important components of the article. It provides some basic understanding of the farming economy and its progression over the years. It is straightforward and fact-driven. I liked the connection to the role of women in the farm community. Seth Hubbell's narrative is also documented in this reading. It could be a good primary source for students to use in the understanding of life on a farm in the 1700-1800s. Vermont Standards: 6.9, 6.9d; 6.17, a, b"
Mary Hays:
"This is wonderful! The reprint is 14 pages long and in that short a space, Elwert, who was the Vermont Historical Society's museum curator, is able to give a sprightly and comprehensive overview of farms of the 1760s, through the wheat boom and the sheep boom, to the rise of dairy farming in the mid-19th century. Elwert's background essay also features some of the historical woodcuts, engravings, drawings and advertisements that were part of the "All Around Robinson's Barn" museum exhibit.
This is great background material for all teachers of Vermont history and could provide research material for students from middle school up."
Liz Snell:
"The article gives a good overview of Vermont farming trends and the reasons they failed or succeeded. The article could be useful as a general overview of Vermont agriculture for high school students and for middle school students with pre-reading preparation (e.g. vocabulary and key concepts to look for). Sources quoted and found in bibliography could be helpful for additional materials. Important points covered were the world, national, and economic forces that caused changes in Vermont farming. The photos, flyers and inventions pictured were excellent and would be of interest to students at all levels."
Nancy Price Graff, ed., Celebrating Vermont: Myths and Realities
Leslie Ercole:
"I read only those essays and catalog items that related to this time period. This is definitely a book that I will read in its entirety when the opportunity presents itself.
This book could be used in a high school history class. I think that middle school children would have a tough time reading this on their own but it is filled with a wealth of information about the history of Vermont. Perhaps you could have students brainstorm all they know about Vermont history. Then you could present questions that align with the myths to see what the perspective is that children hold. Then on the topics that are covered in the article, you could provide students with the information that is presented there. I think that middle school students would like to start from a "myth" and go from there. It could be used as an investigation. Students may be able to look at just one section of the article to answer the questions. This would be more manageable than the entire article."
Liz Snell:
"The essays in this catalog could be useful for teachers and for high school students. Some parts of the essays could be useful for middle school students. The bibliography and the catalog could be useful for research projects.
The exploration of the myth of an idyllic and romantic Vermont is fascinating. Details of myths deliberately created to lure first settlers, then tourists to Vermont is an interesting point to contemplate (and continues to be true today). Also of particular interest was the use of the song Moonlight in Vermont, the film Holiday Inn and Norman Rockwell's art to create a "memory of a past worth fighting for" during World War II.
I would have through Dorothy Canfield Fisher would have been a more important figure in creating the Vermont myth, though she is quoted. There is very little work by women in the catalog or discussed in the essays, though two of the essays are co-authored by women.
The myth of the romantic farmer and farm life is very much debunked. Farming is a hard and unforgiving life. Many quit and left. Hill farms were always a problem, always a hard life. All of which makes this book a fascinating examination of where the romantic myths came from and why they persist."
Sarah Rooker, ed., Yours in the Cause of the Slave: Vermont and the Underground Railroad
Leslie Ercole:
"This is a great packet to use with middle school students that use primary documents. The documents are limited and with the scope of the students' abilities to be successful at using them.
The activities that are tied to the standards are excellent assessment pieces. This fits nicely with the agricultural era, a teacher can compare the agricultural states of both Vermont and the south. They can look for similarities and differences. Then students may get a better idea why the institution of slavery was so important to the south and why they tried so hard to get their slaves back. Rather than always looking at slavery as a freedom issue, look at it from the South's point of view. Students could then decide why Vermont took such a strong role in the underground railroad.
This is definitely material to be used with students. Most middle school students would have few difficulties with it."
Liz Snell:
"The documents in this packet are interesting, informative and very useful. For teachers and students in middle school and high school the packet provides valuable primary source materials for the study of Vermont's role in the anti-slavery movement. The case study and the letters, as well as the essays could be used in numerous ways, especially for introducing the concept of using primary source materials in research."

Soccer Teams Go Deep in NCAA Tournament Action
For the men's team, it was a continuation of what has come to be expected each year. After reaching the NCAA Division III national semifinals in 2011, the Red Hawks made a return trip to San Antonio, reaching the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament for the third time in the last seven years. The Red Hawks, who posted a 19-3-1 record, also captured the New Jersey Athletic Conference regular-season crown for the fourth time in the last seven years, posting 38-7-4 over the last two years.
The Red Hawks' journey back to the Elite Eight began on the road at Oneonta State where they defeated Salve Regina 2-1 in the first round on a goal by senior Dan Mendoza late in the game. The next day, Montclair faced host Oneonta in a matchup of two Final Four squads from last season. The game went into overtime and a penalty-kick shootout before a 4-3 win moved Montclair State to the Sweet Sixteen in Texas, where it played third-ranked Trinity College in the first round. The Red Hawks stunned Trinity 2-1 to move one game away from the Final Four. But Montclair State's attempt to reach a second-straight national semifinal was thwarted when it fell to Ohio Northern University, 2-1.
Mendoza and senior Mark Lubetkin were named to National Soccer Coaches Association Division III All-America First Team—the first time ever that two Montclair players were named First-Team All-America in the same season.
Meanwhile the women's team returned to the national stage for the first time since 2006 following one of the best seasons in team history.
The Red Hawks captured their first New Jersey Athletic Conference championship since 2004, was ranked No. 1 in the NCAA South Atlantic Region and posted a 16-2-3 record. Montclair State went undefeated through its first 12 contests (11-0-1) and finished its NJAC slate at 8-1, the best conference season in the program's existence.
The team was the top seed in the NJAC Tournament and then made its way to its second conference championship beating Richard Stockton College in the semifinals and Kean University in the title contest.
The Red Hawks earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, where it knocked off Averett University 3-2 in overtime before falling to host Lynchburg College in the second round.
Four Montclair State players were named to the NSCAA South Atlantic All-Region Team and Head Coach Pat Naughter was named the NJAC Coach of the Year.
Overall, Montclair State's fall athletic teams posted a combined season record of 84-23-4, a .775 winning percentage that far outdistanced any program in the New Jersey Athletic Conference.

When I was first hired by EV1Servers, I sent then CEO Robert Marsh a loooong wish list for internal apps. One item near the top was a dynamic customer map. If I were going to a conference in Chicago or visiting friends in Portland, wouldn it be cool to find out which major customers are nearby? If 50 companies from a certain city lease 1000 total servers from EV1, shouldn we fly out there to meet with these folks and see if they have contacts who might be interested in our services? There was no Google Maps API back then, so building such a tool didn seem feasible. But now that there a Flickr layer and a Wikipedia layer on Google Earth (I read about those in this O Radar post) and map mashups for everything from apartment rents to handmade jewelry, why not do the same for your customer base? You could use an internal map that shows customer count, server count, support ticket volume, recent orders and cancellations by location. In addition to identifying sales opportunities, the map could also help set content localization priorities. If customers in China seem to submit an unusual number of tickets for very basic issues, maybe they appreciate a Chinese FAQ. More interestingly, you could offer customers the (optional, of course) ability to put themselves on a public map. For instance, Etsy, an arts and crafts marketplace, has a geolocator where buyers can find local sellers. Your customer map could have an ecommerce layer for retailers, a web services layer for developers and designers, a local vendors layer for doctors, lawyers and plumbers I guessing there are hundreds if not thousands of GoDaddy and 1 and DreamHost and BlueHost customers in just about any major city. It costs very little to encourage these companies to do business with one another, but hosting providers could earn major brownie points (and longer lasting customers relationships) by facilitating these connections. PS On a totally unrelated note, I just read on Wired that there a Santa tracking layer on Google Earth.

The more experienced All Stars agree with an 84 to 5 vote. Summary: All the automotive repair stocks have done well during the recession as the average mileage on vehicles on the roads has continued to climb. Higher miles more repairs. Analysts are softening their projections for several reasons. Higher gas prices mean less driving. New car sales increases mean the average mileage of cars on the road may come down. If the analysts projections for the increases in sales and earnings continue investors could see an annual total return in the 15% to 20% range for O"Reilly Automotive.
Real Cheap Men Nike Free Run 2 Black Gym Red Quilted,Men Nike Free Run 2 Black White Blue Yellow Transcript for: Using a Campus Board when Indoor Rock Climbing "In this segment we are going to go over a very famous rock climbing tool called the campus board. A campus board has a series of wooden sticks, essentially, that are all numbered from one at the bottom all the way to the top. This is to build finger strength and explosive power. This can be used in a number of ways. First Caitlin will demonstrate more of a beginner technique, her feet are still on the ground, she's kind of sagging away from the campus board and she moves from one campus rung to another, up and down, again this is for finger strength core tension. For a mid section there's a number of different ways you can move the hands that's a more dynamic way. And now when you are more advanced you will climb without your feet. This is to gather explosive upper body strength. So as Caitlin moves up she is not using her feet. You can do this both up and down for the negative. Do this in a variety of ways and that's campus boarding." Men Nike Free Run 2 Black Gym Red Quilted BOGOTA: Colombia on Sunday will hold a presidential run off that has become a referendum on peace talks under way with Latin America's oldest insurgency. The mastermind of the talks with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) is the incumbent president, Juan Manuel Santos. His opponent Oscar Ivan Zuluaga is fiercely opposed to the negotiations The rebel army rose up nearly 50 years ago as part of an insurrection by poor farmers in a country with a huge gap between haves and have nots. The moment of truth has come for Santos, who says the talks, which began in November 2012 in Havana, are in their "final phase." As he seeks a second four year term, Santos is running neck and neck with Zuluaga in public opinion polls. Santos, 62, has couched Sunday's election in simple yet big stakes terms. He says voters must choose between "the end of the conflict or an endless conflict." Beaten in the first round of voting on May 25, the centre right Santos has managed to rally leftist parties albeit opposed to his free market economic policies by promising to spend more on social welfare issues. His campaign website says that the "cost of the war" with the leftist rebels is nearly $300, the minimum monthly wage in Colombia, per second. Santos is promising to do more to help poor people, "the ones victimized by the war", in a country where a third of the population of 47 million lives in poverty, even though the economy is growing more than four percent a year. "Social issues are more visible but they remain linked to peace, which the president has kept as the central pillar of his campaign," said political scientist Patricia Munoz Yi, a professor at Javeriana University in Bogota. Zuluaga meanwhile is trying to cash in on some Colombians skepticism over the negotiations with the FARC, which are ongoing despite the lack of a ceasefire between the two sides. Zuluaga, a 55 year old former finance minister, says he backs "peace with conditions" and accuses the president of offering the guerrillas impunity. That prospect touches a raw nerve in Colombia. The conflict, a violent cocktail of rebels, paramilitary militia and criminal gangs, has left more than 220,000 people dead and forced five million people to leave their homes. Zuluaga has said he will "review" agreements reached so far in the peace talks on reform to distribute land more equitably among the poor and rich, letting former guerrillas get involved in politics, fighting drug trafficking and offering retribution to victims of the conflict. But since the first round of the presidential election, Zuluaga has softened his tone. He no longer says he would immediately suspend talks with the FARC. And he now says he would give the FARC rebels a month not just a week to surrender their weapons. The FARC have not responded to these demands, simply renewing a temporary truce for the run off.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Meet Dave Chameides, a 39-year-old father of two and Hollywood cameraman whose work includes Donnie Darko, Will and Grace, and The West Wing. Since January, Chameides has not thrown away any of his trash—he has cataloged and stored all of it in his basement. What accumulates is whatever can't be reused, recycled, composted, or fed to the worms. For the average American—who generates 4.6 pounds of waste each day—this could be a messy experiment. But as Chameides blogs on 365 Days of Trash and SustainableDave, it's possible to live a comfortable, fulfilling life while generating only 1 pound of waste a month.
Recently, Chameides spoke with MoJo about the joy of worm composting, the problem with restaurants, and what his young daughters think about his trash, soon to become an educational exhibit in Connecticut's Trash Museum.

So will there still be an According to Pete in November?
The arduino has a tone command built into the standard library that might have been easier to use.
1 angstrom= 10^-10 meters
Giga= 109
so wouldn't a gigaangstrom be .1 meters?
Are these new RF link transmitters replacing the other cheaper ones you already carry?
oh, and nice dog!
Ah, plasma speakers. Very cool stuff. I built one of these when i was in high school. They're not as complicated on the inside as they look like they would be.
haha looks like a fun game. What voltage are you using with the electrodes?
could have the base and collector resistors been replaced by a single emitter resistor?
I was so excited to watch According to Pete today. Oh well, Happy 4th of July!
I personally hardly notice the music that seems to be driving everybody mad. If anything its better then the droll of teaching in silence that I had to put up with through school.
As soon as i saw this i typed "Ossciloscope" in the search bar and it gave me no results. Worked after i took out the c though.
No public wish lists :(

The German government Monday announced an agreement with Cornelius Gurlitt, the son of a Nazi-era art dealer, that would pave the way for the possible restitution of art wrongfully taken from Jewish owners and held in his private collection for decades.
Lawyers for Gurlitt, representatives of the state of Bavaria, and the German federal government agreed that a government-appointed team of international experts had one year in which to investigate the works seized from Gurlitt's Munich apartment in 2012.
The deal would take effect when the works, which are being held by Bavarian authorities as part of a criminal investigation, are released. It applies to all art of questionable provenance in Gurlitt's collection, which has become known as the Munich Art Trove. Authorities said Gurlitt can prove legal ownership of some of the works.
Reached after several weeks of negotiations, the agreement bypasses the 30-year statute of limitations that applies to stolen property in Germany and, in doing so, represents a willingness by the German government to resolve outstanding claims related to Nazi-looted art works.
The resolution comes months after the public first learned of the more than 1280 works - including those by major artists such as Picasso, Chagall and Gauguin - held by Gurlitt. They were seized by Augsburg prosecutors as part of a tax evasion investigation. When the German media broke the story of their existence last November, it triggered outrage around the world.
Responding to intense international criticism over how it had handled the art, the German government appointed a task force to investigate their provenance with an aim to return looted works to their rightful owners. But questions lingered about what would happen to the collection once it was released to Gurlitt, if he is cleared of the tax evasion charges. Legal experts also raised questions over whether the state had been justified in confiscating the collection in the first place.
Gurlitt, 81, who lived a reclusive life seemingly dedicated to defending the modern art collection amassed by his father, Hildebrand Gurlitt, during the Nazis' reign, had initially insisted that all the art be returned to him. He declared in his only interview, with newsmagazine Der Spiegel, that he would not give any of them up.
But his failing health led a Munich court late last year to appoint a legal guardian, Christoph Edel, to deal with Gurlitt's legal, health and wealth affairs. Since then, Gurlitt has appeared more willing to negotiate with the authorities, leading up to the agreement.
His spokesman, Stephan Holzinger, said Gurlitt suffers from a weak heart and remains hospitalized following surgery, adding urgency to the need for resolution.
"We are dealing with a top-class team of experts, and given Mr. Gurlitt's advanced age and frail health, it can be expected that they should be able to complete their work within this time frame," Holzinger said.
Monika Grütters, Germany's culture minister, has made addressing restitution issues a priority since she came into office at the start of the year. She welcomed the agreement with Gurlitt, saying it would pave the way for an independent center that is being established to streamline and reinvigorate German efforts to handle restitution claims.
"Our experience gained through dealing with the Munich Art Trove will influence the new Lost Art Center," Grütters said.
Gurlitt further agreed that images of the works in question could be posted to the government's database, which includes 458 pictures.
But the agreement also puts pressure on researchers to determine the history of the works. An additional researcher, appointed by Gurlitt, will be named to the task force when Gurlitt's collection is released to him. Officials said they did not know when that would happen.
Greg Schneider, the executive vice president of the Jewish Claims Conference, expressed concern that the deadline could lead to the art's being returned before the works' history could be clarified.
"Returning artwork to Mr Gurlitt that has not been fully researched would be reprehensible," Schneider said. "Either the government has to commit sufficient resources to complete the work within a year or the deadline must be extended, if it is not met."
Among the works is a well-known Matisse painting that the descendants of Paul Rosenberg, a French art dealer, said was taken from their family by the Nazis. The picture, "Seated Woman/Woman Sitting in Armchair," was among the first to be identified by claimants seeking the return of the picture.
But Gurlitt's lawyers said Monday that a rival claim had been filed for the painting, forcing the delay of a previously announced return of the work.
"I am legally required to investigate the new claims," Edel said.
The new claimant was not identified, and no details were given on the basis of the claim. Representatives of the Rosenberg family declined to comment.
The latest twist in what appeared to be a relatively clear case reflects the challenges that authorities face with disputed works in the collection; cases that on the surface appear to be morally clear cut may run into snags within Germany's complex legal system.
Government officials hope the agreement reached Monday will help restore confidence in Germany's image abroad, which has been tarnished by the handling of Gurlitt's collection.
"The meaning of the so-called Munich Art Trove reaches far beyond the criminal proceedings in connection with suspected tax evasion," said Winfried Bausback, the justice minister for Bavaria. "It opens very basic and overarching questions about how we handle such artworks."

Thorns FC defender Rachel Buehler made her debut for the U.S. Women's National Team on March 5, 2008 – starting and playing the full 90 minutes in a 4-0 win against China PR at the annual Algarve Cup in Portugal. The culmination of a journey through the youth national team system, beginning with the U-17 Women's National Team and working all the way up the ladder to the senior team, Buehler is now at the precipice of a remarkable milestone.
Only five years removed from her first international appearance for the United States, Buehler is set to earn her 100th cap for the USA in her next match – which could possibly come as soon as March 6 at the Algarve Cup.
"I've been involved in the system for such a long time and U.S. Soccer has really been a part of me and my development and all the coaches that influenced me through the program," the Thorns FC defender said. "It's been a great journey and something I feel very fortunate to be a part of for such a long time. I think at all the different levels I've learned so much and grown so much as a player and as a person. It's just pretty cool to have that history and think about that. I can't believe I'm almost at 100 games. It's a special feeling and to have been able to play for my country in so many games – not even including my youth games – it's just an honor."
Buehler was included in U.S. WNT head coach Tom Sermanni's roster for the Algarve Cup from March 6-13 and is poised to become the 29th player in U.S. WNT history to reach the century mark in international appearances.
"My first cap was at the Algarve Cup in 2008 and it's kind of fitting that my 100th cap will be in the Algarve Cup," Buehler said. "It's interesting how it falls that way and makes me feel a little nostalgic looking back on the other Algarve tournaments. I really like the Algarve Cup because it's just very pure soccer, there aren't a lot of fans there so it's a different environment. It reminds me of playing as a kid almost because it's a little more low key."
Thorns FC head coach Cindy Parlow Cone made 175 appearances for the United States from 1996-2004 and certainly can relate to the magnitude of Buehler's forthcoming achievement for the national team.
"Being able to represent your country once is a huge honor, and to be able to do it 100 times is incredible," said Cone. "I am so happy that Rachel has the chance to achieve her 100th cap in Portugal. I remember my 100th cap like it was yesterday. It was such a proud moment for my family, my teammates, my fans and me."
Following a standout career at Stanford University, the Del Mar, Calif., native wasn't sure where her soccer career was headed with no professional league in the United States and the uncertainty of whether or not she would be a part of the national team picture under head coach Pia Sundhage, who took over in Nov. 2007. Sundhage eventually gave Buehler her first cap and she quickly became one of the team's most steadfast defenders – starting 68 of her 72 appearances since 2010.
"I was getting ready to go to medical school and wasn't sure what was going to happen with soccer because there was no professional league at that point, but everything came together at the right time and Pia (Sundhage) brought me in and kept bringing me in and all of a sudden I was going to the Olympics (in 2008)," Buehler said. "That was something that was pretty unexpected for me. I had always dreamed about it, but didn't know if it was going to happen."
Regarded as a fearless defender that doesn't hesitate when going in for a tackle, Buehler earned the colorful moniker "Buehldozer" and it stuck.
"I don't know exactly where it came from. It might've been 'Heif' (U.S. WNT Press Office Aaron Heifetz), but then we played Germany in Germany and somehow the German announcers got a hold of it and said 'Buehldozer' in a German accent and after that my teammates were cracking up about it and that's when it became more of a real nickname. Then it really stuck."
Nicknames aside, Cone knows that she's inherited a premium defender who will help marshal the back line for Thorns FC during the 2013 National Women's Soccer League season.
"Rachel is a very tactical player," Cone said. "She's a great leader and will help us keep our back line organized. On the attacking side, she plays very simple and will help us build out of the back. Every team needs a player that has the tackling ability that she has. She's a very difficult defender to beat."
