CISD Online Registration
Canyon, Texas -
Canyon Independent School District is offering a newer way for parents to register for school...online. This is the second year that the school district has used this method.
Canyon Independent School District is offering a newer way for parents to register for school...online. This is the second year that the school district has used this method.
Coordinator of District Communications April McDaniel says "They would go to the campus and stand in a long line and wait to fill out all the forms and then leave. And now we have where the initial information is actually online."
Parents and students will still have to go to the school campuses on August 6th and 7th to confirm their registration and any documents such as a proof of residency and shot records. McDaniel says the online registration is more convenient for parents trying to register their child.
"It's where they can do it at home. They can do it in the evening when they get home and they can fill out their information, save it -- they don't have to submit it at that point -- and then come back to it later. And then they can submit it once they've got all the information complete," McDaniel says.
Teacher's Aid MaryJane Cantu says "I don't have to wait in a line for hours, it's usually hours long. So this is much easier and I like it."
Not only does the online registration help out the parents, but it's more efficient for the staff as well.
McDaniel says "Instead of shuffling paper documents, it's all online and we're able to submit the different documents to the different departments."
Families that don't have internet access at home are able to go to their school's campus or the District Support Center and use one of the computers there. The school district also has what they call a snap code. The code is used at the beginning of the registration for parents that registered their child online last year. Once they enter the snap code, all of the information from last year will be displayed.

Build Log
Aeroworks Checkmate
so i finally got a couple hrs to unbox and start on the checkmate today. All the parts were packed well and in great shape.. one of the first things i like to do on a build is install the landing gear on the plane. it does two things 1 it gets the plane up off the floor/bench and 2 while your working on it there is structure for you or someone helping you to hold onto the plane. here are some pictures of the gear. i used lock washers supplied and red lock tight on all threads.
I can see minor kit bashing coming up but most will be because of my preferences . the first one and one of my biggest pet peeves is the foam wheels. i understand they're trying to save weight/money but for what these kits cost you would think they would put better wheels. i removed the foam wheels in the kit and used some low bounce dubro wheels on the main gear and a treaded dubro 1.25 on the back.
here are some picks...
had some time to work on the checkmate this evening and for me the next thing in line was to get all the glued/epoxied surfaces taken care of and first up is the vertical and horizontal stabs. Everything lined up really nice and fit extremely well.
The one thing i suggest is that if someone builds this kit to do the vertical stab soon after the horizontal one. the vertical sits on top of the horizontal on the inside of the fuse and while the epoxy is still wet on the horizontal one you can set the vertical one in and epoxy them together inside the fuse as well as the walls of the fuse.
here are a few picks with them set.
And your probably asking ??why the picture of the epoxy on the cardboard... i like to leave it on the table and check it the next day to see if it set up. you can peel the paper back and put your fingernail in it to see if the epoxy and mixture had a issue.
I have been waiting for one of these to hit the build threads. Looks nice! Best of luck.
Ok I love AW planes. I've owned three and wish I had never sold off a 35% Extra 300.
I find that the AW team are really good people and I have respect for them.
That being said..what year is this? Maybe I'm just not familiar with Bipes, but is it normal to have to glue on the stabs in a modern GS Bi-Plane? I am somewhat shocked that the horiz and vert stabs are glued on.
I just doublechecked on the AW site. The other 50cc class AW cropduster, the 50cc Ultimate, has plug in stabs and an integrated vert stab.
Just curious if this is required to try to faithfully represent the full scale ship, versus the convenience of plug in horiz stabs, etc
Our 50cc Pitts Python was done the exact same way and it has worked out very well!
Thanks for doing this build thread, while we have already sold many of these airplanes very few have gone to Flying Giants members.
I was just going to go back to my post and edit it Mark
I assumed later, that its due to the non airfoiled thin surfaces and they had to be glued on because of this.
sorry bout that.
I was looking at this plane but just could not justify the $799 price plus shipping in my head. But I was wondering how this plane would stack up to the GP Pitts M12 at a greatly reduced price, any comments?
I look at it this way... I could spend money on a trip to Vegas or somewhere else where I won't have anything to show for it.I have had other hobbies that costed allot more ..car racing,motorcycle racing, huge saltwater aquariums 250 gal + and it all comes down to how much do you enjoy it and staying within your means...

might it be scheme licencing issues? because yeah, for a 50cc its quite small fuselage with BIG wings...
on the other hand im REALLY waiting for a 30cc bipe!

How many factory farms are in your state and/or county? I looked up Douglas County in Oregon, where we live. There are NO factory farms here. Unbelievable! That's our claim to fame. I think we should put it up on billboards! Check out your area; I hope you fare just as well.
Meet our second milking doe, Honey. This post is on my personal blog, Such Treasures. I also share lessons I've learned from having milked two does on this dairy goat adventure (for what it's worth). Having two is really a good assessment tool! Honey gave us almost 4 cups of milk this morning and it is delicious. Our first doe, Belle, gave us 1-3/4 cups – her yield increases slightly each day, which is encouraging.

Washington Monument to Reopen on May 12
Posted on March 26, 2014
The Washington Monument is set to reopen on May 12th. It has been closed since the 2011 earthquake. The 5.8 magnitude earthquake damaged the monument. The photograph above shows contracters from WJE conducting exterior assessment of the monument in September, 2011. Some of the damage included cracks in marble panels and spalling of the corners of the pyramidion panels. Vertical cracks were also found in the tie beams in the "F" course of the pyramidion. A detailed report on the damage was published here. Take a look:

How to use the new BBM Voice and BBM 7 setup guide
Today, Research in Motion (RIM) are launching a brand new version of their BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) client with some brand new features, specifically a new Wi-Fi calling feature known as BBM Voice. BBM Voice allows you to make and receive calls to and from your BBM Contacts for free using a Wi-Fi connection!
As BBM Voice is built directly into BBM, all you need to do is open up a chat with a friend anywhere in the world and you will see in the top right hand corner an icon which indicates if they are available for a call. If its grey, one of you isn't connected to Wi-Fi, red means that they are busy and if it's green, you're good to go! Simply tapping on the icon will start a call and from there, it looks and feels like a normal voice call, but can be to someone on the other side of the world, all for free!
New icons in BBM
You're not connected to Wi-Fi, check Manage Connections or tap the icon to set up your Wi-Fi!
Your contact is not available for a BBM Voice Call! Try sending them a BBM first to let them know you want to talk!
You're both good to go! Simply tap the icon and the call will start!
New features
Being on a call to a friend via BBM Voice doesn't mean you are limited to just speaking either! You can switch back to the text chat to share pictures, files or even type "LOL" instead of laughing, BBM text chat with other contacts, send emails, text, browse the web and everything else you expect from your BlackBerry handset, whilst still in the call! Just think of the possibilities over the festive season! You can call friends and family all over the world to wish them a merry Christmas and even use it on New Year's Eve when the mobile networks are being bombarded to ensure that you wish a happy new year to those you're closest to, so long as they own a BlackBerry of course.
Not only the festive season, but throughout the year you can use BBM Voice calls from home or abroad, or call friends and family who are abroad on holiday without having to worry about roaming costs or receiving a huge bill at the end of the month! Alternatively, you could use BBM Voice for all your day to day calls with BlackBerry friends to save on your monthly calls allowance.
In addtion, with BBM 7.0 RIM have included 16 brand new emoticons; a new in-app update feature which lets you know when there is an update to BBM and also a new backup and restore feature using your BlackBerry ID! This new backup and restore feature simply requires you to remember you BlackBerry ID (BBID) login details and from there, it will automatically backup and restore your contacts, groups and even on going conversations whenever you switch to a new device, simply by signing in. No longer do you have to worry if your BBM contacts are backed up, and if you couple this with BlackBerry Protect you can seamlessly backup and restore your BlackBerry smartphone without the use of a computer, or simply use both features to ensure peace of mind that your contacts, calendars, text messages and more are always safe from loss!
Things to look out for
One thing to keep in mind however, BBM Voice is only available to BlackBerry owners, running OS 6.0 and above so don't expect to be able to use it to call landlines or those who are using an iPhone or android device just yet, and it is limited at this time to being available on Wi-Fi only! RIM have announced that they will be supporting BBM Voice on BlackBerry OS 5.0 at a later date and there may even be the possibility to expand it to the 3G networks too!
I have been using BBM Voice as part of the BlackBerry Beta program for a month now and find the call quality phenomenal and I have used it to call friends all over the US, Canada and even family in Australia (time zone permitting, of course) which has allowed me to hear their voices for the first time in a number of years! Yes, there are alternatives out there, most notably in Skype, FaceTime and Google Voice, but for me, this is the most convenient way to keep in touch and makes me love my BlackBerry more and more each day!
So, keep an eye out for an update to your BBM and then ensure your Wi-Fi is connected, your friends have updated their BBM to the new 7.0 and get calling. A word of caution though - It may take up to 24 hours for the app to appear in BlackBerry App World so don't panic if you can't see it just yet!

Vodafone operating from Sky Parks Business Centre
Vodafone has moved to its new head office at the Sky Parks Business Centre. The transition has been completed in three phases.
The group of Vodafone employees who were the first to move included Vodafone's CEO Balesh Sharma.
Over the last couple of years, Vodafone has invested a lot in instilling a culture of change so that its employees would be able to leave their previous offices in Birkirkara one day and work from Sky Parks Business Centre the next, particularly due to the fact that Vodafone's new head offices introduce a number of innovative concepts, including a paperless office philosophy and a hot-desking policy.
"Over the last couple of years multiple projects and processes were undertaken to make the move a smooth one," said Antoinette Camilleri, property manger at Vodafone Malta.
"We have been gearing up for the move for the past two years, scanning, recycling paper in different departments and archiving important legal documents that have to be retained. We have constantly promoted a culture of change which has produced positive results. Team members are embracing this change and it's really great to see that our people are happy with the smooth transition to the new offices and with their new working environment."
The Sky Parks Business Centre offers Vodafone employees an open-plan environment where they are working in a brand new corporate setting that enhances productivity, teamwork and improves organisational communication.
The furniture was selected with great care and custom-made furniture was specifically designed for some areas, keeping in mind factors such as space, comfort, durability, maintenance required and if it is easy to clean or not.
Customers were also kept in mind with different meeting room designs including areas for lounge and business meetings and for casual meetings, state-of-the-art multimedia facilities and handset displays.
The A+ equipment, with the choice of lighting and light sensors incorporated to reduce utilities usage also played an important role in ensuring efficiency and sustainability. Technology was also a big issue in the design and Vodafone made sure that they have a wireless environment with no desk phones and Wi-Fi services available in the whole office, including the terrace.

Thermal studies of D.C. traction motors
Ho, S.L., Tam, A.N.K., Tse, C.T., & Ho, T.K. (1998) Thermal studies of D.C. traction motors. In Proceedings of International Conference on Developments in Mass Transit Systems, IEEE, London, pp. 161-166.
This paper describes a thorough thermal study on a fleet of DC traction motors which were found to suffer from overheating after 3 years of full operation. Overheating of these traction motors is attributed partly because of the higher than expected number of starts and stops between train terminals. Another probable cause of overheating is the design of the traction motor and/or its control strategy. According to the motor manufacturer, a current shunt is permanently connected across the motor field winding. Hence, some of the armature current is bypassed into the current shunt. The motor then runs above its rated speed in the field weakening mode. In this study, a finite difference model has been developed to simulate the temperature profile at different parts inside the traction motor. In order to validate the simulation result, an empty vehicle loaded with drums of water was also used to simulate the full pay-load of a light rail vehicle experimentally. The authors report that the simulation results agree reasonably well with experimental data, and it is likely that the armature of the traction motor will run cooler if its field shunt is disconnected at low speeds

Large 100+ year old home on 6 private acres with beautiful mountain views! Located up on a hill at the end of the road, just minutes from the village of Naples, Canandaigua Lake and Bristol Harbor Resort & Spa, Bristol Mountain Ski Resort and hundreds of wineries! The home has been completely updated with all the modern conveniences but still maintains its old world charm. Large country kitchen equipped with everything you'll need to prepare your meals. Keurig coffee maker and coffee, dishwasher and gas barbeque on the deck.
There are four bedrooms upstairs and a full bathroom with clawfoot tub. One bedroom downstairs, a full bathroom with shower/tub, kitchen with breakfast nook, dining room, living room with 60' flat screen tv. Home also has wifi!
Wonderful front porch with white wicker furniture to sit, relax and enjoy the view, also a back deck is nice for evening barbeques with friends and family.
So many things to do and see here in the Naples area. Winery touring and tastings, boating, kayaking, golf, skiing, antiquing or just relaxing in one of the most beautiful areas in the state! Enjoy live theater at the Bristol Valley Theater right on Main St in Naples featuring actors and musicians from NYC. The annual Grape Festival takes place here every September to celebrate the areas grape harvest, talented artistians, wine makers, local music and cuisine and of course Grape Pie! Naples is known as the 'Grape Pie Capital of the World' where the very wonderful and delicious grape pie was invented! There are many local pie makers in town baking all types of pies--year round--so nice to just stop by one of these road side stands and homes and pick up a fresh baked home made pie---Where else can you do that? I love it and know you will too!
We love traveling and spending time with family and friends and exploring new places.
The Finger Lakes area is one of the places we love exploring. I grew up in upstate NY and wanted to have a home in the Naples area for when I visit my many family members. Luckily Ed, a native Californian fell in love with the Finger Lakes area as well as my family so he shared my enthusiasm in my quest to find a home here!
Mary Llorente purchased this house in 2012
When we saw this house up for sale we knew it was the perfect home in the perfect location for us. We love it here but since we can't be in Naples full time have decided to share it with others and hope they enjoy it as much as we do!
This home was built in 1906 by the owner of one of the areas largest vineyards and winery estates. The home was for the winemakers and visitors to his winery from Europe to stay in while in Naples, chosen for its proximity to the town and winery as well as the spectacular vistas it offers! There are vines all over the property crawling up the trees as well as a small vineyard on the hillside!
My friends and I stayed in the Grape Escape house in August and it was perfect. There was 9 of us and we were all easily comfortable and surprised with so much extra space! The house was beautiful and we had a wonderful time. Carolyn was so sweet and helpful with everything as it was everyone first time to Naples NY wine Country. She came over just to bring us a full propane tank and made sure we were all having fun. It was my best bud Ryan Mcnamaras wedding and it was his home town growing up. We were all so pleased with the perfect location and the size and beauty of the house it was all so stress free. The pool was a great time with land all around us giving us the opportunity to have such a great time without having to worry about bothering neighbors. I will absolutely rent this house again for a vacation getaway in naples the next time I visit. Thank you Carolyn for being so easy going and letting us rent your big beautiful home for the weekend. We were also immediately prompted with an amazing pie of our choice from the famous local pie shop in the town upon our arrival at the home. I promise you will not be let down with this home for your stay in the beautiful Naples NY by the famous Candanagua lake. Enjoy!! and Thank you Carloyn!
David king,
This was an amazing weekend. The house was beautiful and felt like our home. We had an amazing time in the area and would return again and again. Carolyn was wonderful and she was very attentive to any questions that we had
It was great staying at the Grape Escape! It is a beautiful, classic home on a gorgeous piece of property. My fiancé and I are from the desert, so waking up to the lush greenery surrounding the home was a wonderful change of scenery! Carolyn greeted us warmly when we pulled up and gave us so many great sites to visit (e.g. wineries, restaurants, etc.). Everything she recommended was amazing. We are definitely making Naples a regular vacation destination! Thank you again, Grape Escape! We had such a wonderful time!
Caroyln, the owner was really wonderful. She let us stay late on the day of check out so we could come back to the house after skiing. She even came and picked us up at the ski resort one day and gave us a ride back to the house. The house is great for large groups and has a really well equipped kitchen.
We rented Jim's South Bristol last year and really enjoyed it. This year we needed something a little larger, and we knew that the same family owned the Grape escape. The owners are really great to deal with and their lodgings are perfect for the area. The Grape escape is close enough to the ski hill and really close to downtown Naples. There are restaraunts in the area, but you need to reserve in advance if you have a large group. We would definetly rent either place again.
My college room mates and I met up at The Grape Escape for a long weekend with our families. There were 4 couples, 2 babies, a toddler and a puppy, and we had plenty of space! The downstairs is all open, so everyone can be together without necessarily being in the same room, and the kitchen and dining rooms are large and accommodating. We loved the seclusion of the property and the outdoor space was fantastic (plenty of parking too!). The house was the perfect fit for our group; everyone had the privacy they needed, and the two bathrooms made morning easier. The beds were comfortable, and the washer and dryer were wonderfully convenient with three kids in the house. The house is beautiful and homey. We can't wait to go back this year!

CANADA STOCKS-TSX ends higher as U.S. data offsets Ukraine concerns
TORONTO, April 15 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index edged higher on Tuesday after positive U.S. economic data helped offset worries about increasing instability in Ukraine and a sharp decline in gold-mining shares. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed up 19.49 points, or 0.14 percent, at 14,303.92. Eight of the 10 main sectors on the index were higher.

Mr. Turner Goes to Washington
Republican businessman Bob Turner is now officially a member of Congress. He was sworn in earlier today as the representative for New York's 9th Congressional District, which covers parts of Queens and Brooklyn.
After warm introductions from fellow New York Representatives Peter King and Charles Rangel, Turner, 70, spoke briefly on the House floor.
"It's with true humility I accept this awesome responsibility," he said. "And I pledge not to forget how I got here. It was an important bipartisan election. It's the only way that can be done in New York City."
Turner defeated Democrat David Weprin in a special election on Tuesday to fill the seat vacated by former Representative Anthony Weiner. New York's 9th Congressional District has been without representation since Weiner resigned in June.

Do you have a company logo or symbol that you would love to use as a font character? Maybe you are from another planet and you want to send a letter home but don't have your native alphabet. Whatever the case, you can do it with the XP Private Character Editor.
The PCE features basic tools to help you create up to 6,400 unique characters for use in your font library.
Creating Your Character
Go to Start/Run and type in "eudcedit" (without the quotes). You'll notice a grid—click a box to select a spot for your new character to live. Click OK.
Another grid will appear where you can create your character. You have two options here:
1. Grab one of the tools in the tool bar (pencil, paintbrush, line tool, square, circle…) and free hand your character
2. Go to Edit/Copy Character and choose an existing letter or symbol to manipulate (this is great for company logos).
Let's go with option #2 and create a fancy "W" for WorldStart…
First thing is to choose a font. To do this, click the "Font" button. You'll be greeted by a list of fonts. As you click each one (or arrow down) you can see a sample. I liked one called "Tristan" so I clicked OK and all the letters for that font appeared.
I selected the "W" and it appeared in a box then I clicked OK again for it to appear in the editing grid.
I want to put a little "world" in the W so I grabbed the circle tool and drew it. next I took the pencil tool and filled in part of the circle.
Once done I clicked "Save character" and it saved it to the spot I selected in step one (E042).
Using Your Character
Open the program you want to use the private character in (for instance, MS Word).
Next, you'll need to open the Character Map by going to Start/Run and typing in "charmap" (without the quotes).
In the Font list, click the font that is linked to the private characters you want to use. The font name will have "Private Characters" in parentheses. So, if you linked your private characters to Arial, click "Arial (Private Characters)". If you linked your private characters to all fonts, click "All Fonts (Private Characters)".
Click the private character you want to use, then "Select" and click "Copy".
In your word processor or Notepad Ctrl+V to paste the character into the document. You may need to go to the Font menu and select the font that is linked to the private character you want to use before you can paste. This font should be the same font you selected in the character map.
I pasted my special W into Photoshop, made it white and filled in the background with blue to create this little logo for our RSS feed and favicon…
I hope that you find a use for this nifty little program.

I picked up a copy of The Kids are Alright by John Beck and Mitchell Wade at the airport a few weeks ago. The subtitle How the Gamer Generation is is changing the Workplace is very apt. It is a sort of business-oriented sociological report on the behaviors, interests and incentives of this particular generation.
This is probably a must-read for all current managers and those who simply don't consider themselves as part of this generation. What is this generation you say? It's a cohort/generation that probably started around the early 1980s up until the current block of 10-year olds. They generally consider anyone over 34 or 35 to most likely not be part of this generation. I'm in that generation myself although I'm just about exactly at the cut off point.
This is one of those books that talks about the implicit life lessons that influenced those in this generation, even if they were not heavily into game playing. It is very likely that those in this generation were surrounded by this and the closer you get to the current time, the less likely that they know a world where video/computer games were not commonplace. The preface lists 7 Habits of Highly Typical Gamers which seem quite relevant to the behaviors I've experienced amongst others in this generation. I'd even put it as something to think about when designing or delivering products and services.
The book appears quite on the point but almost dates itself, not because of time necessarily but because it was likely written at the turning point in the game industry: the rise of MOGs (for the non-gamer generation folks: multiplayer online games). At one point of the book, it talks about how gamers are tuned into solely individual experiences, in that the game-world exists solely for them.
While this is/was case for single-player games, recent years have shown that multiplayer games can become successful, recurring sources of revenue. While single-player games are still the vast majority, many leading games now are either designed solely, or have special modes, for squad (4-6 players), team vs team (16-32 players), or massive-players (up to hundreds of thousands simultaneously).
Most WoW players today probably won't even understand that even ten years ago, even squad-team games were not worth their development time. I recall in 1996 trying to convince a VC and game developers to consider creating multiplayer games. Most just shrugged or plain laughed at the idea. Thank goodness for a reversal on that. (For me, it does suck to be way too early to a party and no one's there).
Anyway, MOGs may change the rules for gamers once again. One key point in this book is that because it's a world customized for your experience, it does not emphasize the more-challenging issues of building social connections within games. Even when players get together to play a game, with SP games, it was mostly a solitary experience. With MMOGs, players once more are faced with social relationships and often with total strangers from other locations, and with much larger crowds and changing people. On top of that technology has evolved so that it is even simpler to interact: actual live audio conversations rather than typing a lot of text, greater bandwidth and better computing power for richer environments, and even social networking sites for recording/blogging events, etc.
It's my belief that games are so much better these days for their multiplayer aspect. For myself, I started on MMOGs back in the text-based MUD days around 1990 or so, so I'm pretty ingrained into this from an early date. So when I play a top-10 single-player game like Oblivion, even with one of the richest environments, most detailed graphics and storyline, open ended gameplay, and a reactive environment, it still feels a little dull because of the lack of other real human players.
In any case, I'd be curious to see a followup to this book in another 4 years examining how MOGs have affected the gamer generation. Let's face it, after a certain point, you can't really call it a separate generation because games are likely going to be here from now on.

I see this building has all been but abandoned. What a shame. I am 63 years old and this was the cream of the crop of places to go as a teenage to see Elvis, Buddy Holly, and all the other greats in movies. John Wayne and Roy Rogers. What happened to our society that such grand and out of this world this building was to so many of us Iowa Farm-girls? Why it was a total dream to walk into this glamorous, exciting place so you could watch your favorite heroines and hero's come to life on the giant screens of yesterday. Let's not let this building go to waste, surely there is someone or some group that will or could bring this theater back to it's former glory. I use to run my hands down the railing to go to the restroom, and touch the carpet, the shiny walls in the bathroom. I mean your reading this from a gal who didn't even have socks to wear at 10-12 years old that hadn't been through a couple cousins before me already.. My Dad was disabled from bad heart condition aggravated by shrapnel he still had in his body from WW11 and we never even had a soda pop till I was 14 years old. Please let's show our grandkids how beautiful the Capitol Theater was back in 1956 and how much it meant to us 60+ farm girls in Iowa..
As reported on its own website, the Capitol Theater is once again closed. It's a true shame this gem can't be successfully operated.
I have many fond memories of the Capitol Theatre when my husband and I worked there. To me the highlight of the season was the "Silent Movie Nights" where a guest theatre organ artist was brought in by the local theatre organ group. A theatre organ concert, sing a long and silent movie accompanied by the organ was included in the ticket price. I also remember the local organ group playing a mini concert for the senior citizens on Wednesday afternoons which also included a special old movie usually a musical. My husband wanting to make it affordable for the pensioners and only charged $1.00 admission. They loved it!
Here is the Capitol Theater website:
Looks like they're planning to do more renovations beyond lobby and restrooms – primarily in the backstage area.
Also they've expanded beyond concerts; their current schedule includes ballet and opera as well.
Hey gang,
I'm doing some research on a documentary project on the Winter Dance Party tour of 1959 and the troupe's (which included Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper) stop at the Capitol Theatre on January 29th, 1959.
Please e-mail me if you know of anyone who was there or could have been there. It would be very, very appreciated. Thank you. It is a gorgeous theatre with such a rich history.
E-mail address:
Thank you!
A company called Nvents has just taken over management for the Capitol Theater. The bathrooms have been expanded plus a bar, more lighting and stage improvements have all been added.
Here's a link to the website.
It looks like it's going to be a more of a concert venue.
At least it's being used!
Here is an undated interior photo:
The Capitol is in need of more than a coat of paint. The roof is leaking over stage right, most of the upper left balcony has lost its plaster on the side wall, the paintings on the auditorium ceiling have damage, the basement usally has a ½ in. of water etc. In addition the lobby has one unisex restroom, the mens restroom is located in the basement and the second floor may not have any that are working.
Many issues must be addressed if this house is to survive. All efforts to entice a local theatre performance group to make the Capitol "Home" have failed, evan though the QC area has a symphony, two ballets, an opera co. and a fistfull of performance groups. The Adler has crowded the Capitol out, at least funding-wise. The community will have to want to keep the theatre alive.
Scott Community College and the City of Davenport have actually been utilizing this theater. A few acts are booked every month. It could use a few coats of paint but it's still very beautiful on the inside.
If anyone is in Davenport, and has time, the lobby of the Kahl Educational Center is open most days that Scott Community College is in session. The Lobby is quite decortive and the elevators are real fast, (fun) and in the lobby office, are set of Prof. larg. format (10x20 in?) photos of the Capitol auditorium in full color and well lighted. I think they were shot in the 70's. Wish Scott College would re-produce them as posters. Glad other folks know and care about this fine theatre.
It's too bad they don't mention Rapp & Rapp!
Thanks for the info. I see there is a listing at "the other cinema website" for the Columbia as well as some pictures. Someone needs to register the Columbia here. How sad that it was demolished to make a parking lot for its younger sister!
The later date of the Capitol would explain its resemblance better to the Central Park Theatre which now would have been built before the it.
The Columbia and the Capitol both existed, the Capitol has always been the Capitol. They faced each other at 3rd and Ripley.
Also I was wrong about the paintings in the Capitol, they were wall-papered over in the 80's while the theatre was leased by the "President" Gambling boat. I don't think the Wicks pipe organ will be reinstalled. No money/no interest. Too bad.
The pictures of the interior over at "the other cinema website" look a lot like the Central Park Theatre which Rapp & Rapp did in Chicago in 1917.
Is it possible this theatre was orignally called The Columbia? The Rockford Morning Star for Sunday, February 31, 1915 states the following in an article heralding the opening of the Palace Theatre in Rockford, Illinois:
"…Messrs. George and C. L. Rapp have specialized in theater designing and among their latest masterpieces at the New Oprheum in Champaign, the Orpheum in Quincy, the Columbia in Davenport, Ia., the New Palace in Fort Wayne, Ind., the Hippodrome in Chicago, the Ringling Theatre in Baraboo, Wis., and the Palace in Rockford. They also have theaters under construction in Louisville, Ky. and Grand Rapids, Mich."
On 7/24/49, the Davenport Democrat-Leader advertised Clark Gable and Alexis Smith at the Capitol in MGM's "Any Number Can Play", plus a cartoon and late news. "The Stratton Story" with Jimmy Stewart would start a few days later. Other theaters in Davenport at that time were the State, Esquire, Garden, Uptown, Bel-Air, RKO Orpheum and Sunset.
Whoops. Got busy and….
It's good to hear that things are being done to preserve this theatre. I really wish the City of Davenport would utilize this building more. I feel that the true gem in downtown Davenport is the Capitol and not the Adler but all the attention and renovations and money go to the Adler Theatre. Don't get me wrong, the Adler is beautiful but I would love to see the Capitol brought back to it's former glory.
Thanks for the update, mwspenge.
To answer jstep about the extent of Scott Comm. Coll.expenses is that they tuck-pointed the north side of the theatre, the source of the interior plaster damage on that inside wall(north). The entire 10 story Kahl building has been acid and pressure washed(5 shades whiter now)all city code problems fixed, the missing stone-work has been re-created on the Kahl facade. The grand drape has been replaced, emergency lighting has been installed thoughout the theatre and back-stage, dressing rooms and basement. The pin-rail has been re-roped and ballasted. Lighting is fairly new, the house lights are still on the old Westinghouse board, stage lighting controlled from 1st balcony location w/ new board and fixtures. The original Knabe 9'concert grand piano is on the house left aux. stage. the Capitol also had a 6' grand that is still in the Quad cities, in a local restaurant. The Harp was plaster fake. I saw it in the 70's, don't know where it is. My e-mail is if any info needed or becomes available.
I have been in every corner of the Capitol and I can't remember any lobby paintings, ever. I have been a part of the organ crew since 1972 and the organ is now being re-installed. It was my understanding that the Capitol was a movie house first, stage was added to the theatre after a few years. If you examine the alley walls there is a line where the brick work was spliced in, right behind the line of the projection screen. I am happy to know others like William and jstep are watching this situation. I hope you live in the QC area. The reference to Buddy holly is the "Winter Dance Party" and this show was Jan 29, 1959. Clear lake happened shortly after. The main floor was re-seated in the early 70's and the house seats 1,583 now. The last dozen or so rows of seats below the projection booth had been walled off at that time also, and are still in place behind the wall. Both Simplex 35mm projectors are still in the booth, will need work to use them but all parts are there.

|Angkor Wat
Neither my husband nor I have any particularly deep interest in Hindu or Buddhist history or architecture. We visited Angkor Wat, as I suspect most people do, with a superficial knowledge of what it is all about and armed with a guide book to fill in the gaps.
|Crossing the bridge to Ta Prohm
So, what did we do in our day? Well, our tuk-tuk driver ($15 for the day) picked us up from our hotel at 9am. First stop after getting our tickets ($20 for a day pass) - Angkor Wat itself. It was certainly impressive, but cheapened somewhat by the number of wedding couples, fashion models and tour brochure poseurs being photographed in national costume amongst the pillars and passageways of the first level! We saw everything recommended in the guidebook and climbed to the top of the third level from where we got a great view of the surrounding countryside. We had lunch at one of the many cafes in the grounds and resisted the temptations of the numerous souvenir sellers.
|Kapok tree
Our next stop was at Bayon, part of the Angkor Thom complex, which we clambered up and over and through and photographed from every angle before walking over to Baphuon which is approached by crossing a 300 metre causeway. Again, we took photos, but this time, i have to say, we didn't climb to the top. From there, we walked along 'Elephant Terrace' which I was disappointed to discover wasn't made up of statues of elephants all along its length, but, instead, had them as supports at intervals.
After meeting up again with our tuk-tuk driver and having a cold drink, we were taken to our next two temples, Thommanon and Kraoi Romeas. These were smaller than the previous ones with fewer steps to climb.
|Our balloon
Our next stop was at Ta Prohm. The world and his wife were there and we were stuck in a tuk-tuk jam for a few minutes! We were dropped off at one entrance, walked through the temple complex, and were picked up at another. Never having seen Tomb Raider (though I probably will now!), I wasn't prepared for the sight of the banyan and kapok trees growing through the temple walls. It was quite incredible! Consulting the guide book as we walked around, I discovered that Ta Prohm is known as the 'jungle temple' and has been used as the location for several films, most famously 'Tomb Raider' starring Angelina Jolie. it was certainly my favourite temple!
From there, we were taken to Banteay Kdei, another impressive temple, the visit to which included a pleasant walk through woodland to a resevoir which Cambodian kings used to use for regattas, or, at least, that's what we were told!
|Angkor Wat from the balloon
Our last scheduled stop of the day was at Phnom Batcheng, the highest temple in the area and the recommended spot from which to view the sunset. The ascent to the viewpoint is best made by elephant (the unappealing alternative is to walk, but the path is so steep in places that you have to go on your hands and knees!). Unfortunately, we arrived too late to secure a seat on an elephant, so we missed out. Instead, we returned to where we'd begun the day - Angkor Wat - and went for a ten-minute 'ride' in a hot-air balloon which was tethered to the ground, but which, from 200 metres up, afforded great views of the temple and the surrounding countryside.
And so we returned to the hotel. We feel that we saw as much as we wanted to. For me, the Angkor temples, whilst incredibly impressive, are not as aesthetically beautiful as, say, the Taj Mahal or the Pyramids or any of the great cathedrals of the world. They are, without doubt, a terrific testament to man's ingenuity and engineering skills and, if you manage to escape the crowds, they have a certain spiritual calm, but, for me, they won't merit a place in my top 20 'must-sees'! Just call me a Philistine!

New York City -- New shopping apps, mobile technologies and social media rewards are moving buying decisions back into the stores, according to WSL/Strategic Retail. The finding are part of the company's Buzz to Buy 2.0 trend report, its second annual survey measuring how the power of Social Media and online information are impacting buying decisions.
"For the first time in many years, retailers are getting ahead of the trend, and the shopper, by introducing new mobile apps that create fun, entertaining and promotion-driven experiences at the malls and in the stores," said Wendy Liebmann, CEO of WSL/Strategic Retail. "By using mobile technology to access flash offers, search best deals and earn rewards shoppers are, once again, able to make purchase decisions in-store, rather than online at home."
Significant findings of the report include:
Smartphones get shoppers off the couch. Approximately half of all smartphone owners use their device while shopping in-store. This finding is up 21 percentage points from last year's survey, and has become a significant game changer in the way retailers do business. More than half of those who use mobile for shopping are comparing prices (56%), taking pictures of products (53%), and finding coupons and discounts (46%).
Shopping: There's an App for that. Shopping apps now rank among the top five categories downloaded, with nearly half (46%) of those who download apps choosing a shopping related one. Even better news for retailers, shopping apps are now being used in stores by shoppers looking to receive in-store alerts to deals and sales (35%), reading QR codes or bar codes for product information (33%), and helping to navigate the store (28%).
I'll "like" it for a reward. Shoppers expect to find deals and rewards when they "like" a brand or store on Social Networking Sites (SNS) such as Facebook and Twitter. Members searching for discounts or coupons increased 31% over last year's findings, while those looking to gain exclusive member-only benefits rose by 50%. In contrast, the percentage of those using SNS to search for product information and reviews remained flat (at a mere 14%).

Indonesia is the largest Muslim nation in the world and aspires to set an example of how a Muslim society can become a symbol of democracy. However, for the past several decades it has controlled the island of West Papua and refused to allow its people the right of self determination. A group of people in the city of Manokwari gathered to protest in pursuit of their dream of independence. A group of students were confronted by 300 police who proceeded to beat the hell out of them since they dared to challenge Indonesian authority.
At least 11 were injured including several who suffered gunshot wounds. In the grand scheme of life on this planet what transpires in West Papua is of scant concer to all but a scattered few. The bottom line is West Papua has valuable resources and the Indonesian government intends to keep them for itself. Such is life on planet Earth.

Public asked to report potholes
With potholes all over the roads, spring driving in Alaska can be an obstacle course.
"That's the reason why they call it breakup," said Anchorage resident Walter Hawkins.
Hawkins dodges huge craters when he drives to work.
"Very deep ones and a lot of them," he said.
With the freeze/thaw cycle we have been in recently, potholes are getting bad in Anchorage.
If you see one, the municipality wants you to call it in so crews can fix the problem within 24 hours.
"I don't look at them as complaints, I look at them as work orders," said Shawn Knoedler, a heavy equipment operator for the muni.
Knoedler says street maintenance crews fill an average of about 50 to 100 potholes every day.
"These guys will start out first thing in the morning and spend about an hour or so making mix and then spend the rest of the day filling holes," Knoedler said.
All the work now is about keeping people safe and saving money later.
"By us patching that hole there's no more water in there and prevents anymore damage to the road happening," Knoedler explained.
Potholes aren't just a nuisance; they're a legitimate problem. Bad roads for drivers mean flat tires and bent rims.
There's a pothole hotline the muni wants you to call to report hazards. Hawkins says he's done just that three times this month.
"I'd rather me call it in instead of having somebody get stuck out there," Hawkins said. "It's easy enough just to pick up the phone and let them know where the problem is at."
Potholes are an inevitable part the season, but one person can make a difference.
To report a pothole, call the Pothole Hotline at 343-MEND (6363).

Comments Anyone?
Instead of several emails with ideas, you're looking to get back the presentation with everyone's comments right on the slides. So, you email it to one person and as they finish their ideas it goes to the next person then eventually lands back in your mailbox.
Makes sense, but where are the ideas?
Well, in the file, of course.
Now all you need is the "know how" for inserting comments.
Good. Then let's get started.
I'm sure you've guessed by now, the first thing to do is open the presentation.
Next we need to open the Comment toolbar. You can either use the Insert menu, Comment choice – or – Alt then I then M.
The Comment toolbar will open.

Click it once and a little yellow sticky note will appear in the upper left-hand corner of the slide.
You may have noticed that your name is inserted automatically in the note—this allows several people to create notes and you can tell who each one is from!
To change the name you need to go to the Tools menu, Options choice. On the General tab you're looking for the User Information section.
Make changes to the name and initials as necessary and click OK.
Anyway, back to the Comments.
Next you would type your ideas into the comment.
When you're done you can drag the comment around the slide to position it elsewhere—if necessary.
So, the first person completes their ideas, saves the file and passes it on to the next person. They add their comments and along it goes.
Eventually, you get the file back and you can see what each person thought, exactly where they thought it.
When you're ready to remove a comment simply select it and hit the Delete key. (You could also use the Backspace key, Ctrl + X or right click and choose Cut from the pop-up menu.)
Look at that—a meeting of the minds without the time-consuming meeting!

Neoliberal Globalisation and Women's Experiences of Forced migrations in Asia
Ganguly-Scrase, Ruchira, Vogl, Gillian, & Julian, Roberta (2005) Neoliberal Globalisation and Women's Experiences of Forced migrations in Asia. In Social Change in the 21st Century, 28 October 2005, QUT Carseldine, Brisbane.
|PDF (73kB)
The world is now characterised by extensive and rapid movements of people. An increasingly important issue for industrialised countries, such as Australia, is the rising number of people who are becoming displaced within their homelands as a result of a multitude of interconnected factors. The majority of displaced persons and refugees in our region are women and children. Yet, they are severely underrepresented in refugee determination processes, claims for asylum and settlement. This paper will examine women's experiences of forced migration and the neo-liberal global context in which they occur. Over the past two decades the implementation of neoliberal policies in both the North and South have not only resulted in colossal displacements, but have simultaneously given rise to exclusionary politics. While globalisation conjures up a vision of a borderless world, as a result of free flow of goods, our paper will show that increasingly nation states have closed their borders to the displaced, emphasising the distinction between 'economic' migrants and political refugees. Based on recent fieldwork among internally displaced women and cross-border forced migrants in South Asia, our paper will map out the ways in which the aggressive pursuit of neo-liberal agendas and the rise of exclusionary politics, based on national security and border protection, result in greater social inequalities for women. By focusing on the ways in which women confront and interpret the commonalities and differences of dislocation, our paper will evaluate the contemporary applicability of the concept of "refugee" in postcolonial states and highlight the significance of gendered displacements.

The hitting coach for the New York Yankees has high hopes for Robinson Cano's season. Kevin Long believes that the second basemen will see an increase in his home run numbers, and could possibly move onto the next level by becoming a power hitter.
Long admitted, "I wouldn't be surprised if Cano hit 40 home runs." Although this is quite the jump from Cano's career high of 29 home runs, the hitting coach seemed absolutely positive that Cano could do it. However, Long did say that this was not a goal that was set by Cano to reach.
This could be because Cano himself is not so sure that he could pull it off. Cano responded instantly and laughed when asked if he could score 40 homers this upcoming season by saying, "No chance. Maybe if you put an extra half season."
Baseball season is less than two weeks away, and the anticipation is building. Will Robinson Cano be able to reach the 40 home run mark?
The Yankees will enter their third season at the new Yankee Stadium as they host the Detroit Tigers during their season opener on Thursday, March 31.

There is no longer any doubt that President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria has won the Nobel prize, hands down, as the most incompetent, stupid and silly person to ever become head of a nation. There is something in Nigeria called "an army," but what they do other than beat up people protesting the abduction of their children remains among the great mysteries of modern times. Boko Haram, the idiot group of Muslim terrorists abducted 300 young female students and carried them off into the forests. Hundreds of mothers and fathers have been protesting at lack of progress in finding the girls and rescuing them. Mrs. Jonathan Goodluck is furious that anyone would dare to protest against her husband. She ordered that two of the protest leaders be jailed, and insists that NO girls were abducted, and that those protesting the loss of their daughters are simply agents of Boko Haram!!!
Who is this nut case? The bumbling, stumbling Nigerian "army" can't even find the forest where the girls are being held! Some men with bows and arrows actually went into the forest seeking the girls. Nigeria remains the most corrupt nation in the world led by the most incompetent fool ever to hold public office? As for his idiot wife….

Posts Tagged 'Johnny Depp'
I just wanted to wish my favorite time traveling hero the Doctor a happy birthday! In honor of that I present this…
Okay…everyone knows that Doctor Who is as British as the Queen of England, King Arthur, Robin Hood and James "Venereal Disease Proof" Bond and I would not want to change that. I would never ever want to change that.
But at the DW-Time Zone, I wanted to point out that the Doctor could be played by anyone who is Scottish, Irish, Australian, Welsh or South African. Granted David Tennant, who is Scottish, performed with a Southern English accent. I am sorry to say that for my unsophisticated American ears, what does it matter?
But for this little exercise, let's have some fun for a moment and ask, "What if an American was cast as the Doctor?" The rule for this exercise is he is American (or Canadian) and he keeps his accent.
I have five actors in mind that could pull off playing the eccentric Time Lord while giving him a heart of gold, yet playing him with raging river of emotion and passion beneath the surface.
While not my top choice, I will begin with Johnny Depp. Check out this image of him below as Willy Wonka (nevermind the sissy prance and top hat) but see what I mean?
I do not even need to talk about his credit as an actor. If you have seen any of his movies, you know what he can do.
Ever see the first "Charlie's Angels" movie with Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu? He played the role of the creepy thin man. Recently, I re-watched it and thought, "Oh this guy could do it!"
Remember his George McFly? "Hey, you. Get your damn hands off her!"
Speaking of "Charlie's Angels"…I'll be darned if Sam Rockwell didn't steal the show. He at least stole it in "Iron Man 2". He has this ability to play fun characters and give them a heart such as Chuck Berris in "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," his role as Guy in "Galaxy Quest" and, of course, Zaphod Beeblebrox in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
Alan has serious geek cred with his time on "Firefly." Wash had the humor of any of the actors who played the Doctor previously. He was great in "28 Days," "I, Robot" and my personal favorite, Steve the Pirate in "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story."
I say give him the role! It would be great to see the Doctor finally a ginger!
I would cast him tonight! He became my favorite supporting character in "Supernatural". Heck! Look at him! How is he not the Doctor for this pic alone? Collins is an amazing actor, very underrated and that is the sort of quality the Doctor needs – someone who could play fun, manic and I believe he would approach this character similar in style to Matt Smith.

My MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/Inexistences
Mayhem # 1235767
About Me[Casting agents/photographers, please find some of my major modeling experiences and awards detailed at the bottom of this post.]
I'm a very experienced, non-buff, potentially androgynous-looking male model. Having done a quick MM search, that'd apparently make me fairly unique.
I'm super easy to talk to and adept at following instructions. I've been travelling recently, and have a portfolio that encompasses both the US and several countries in south-east Asia.
Style-wise, I am very flexible. I have done shoots that have made me androgynous, gothic, punk, tribal, nouveau-chic, geek and even classical baroque (a-la-caravaggio)
I am open to anything that I would not be (too) ashamed of seeing later, this being of course to my personal judgement. I am open to all suggestions, though.
As a past student in an arts College, I understand the importance and the difficulties that fellow students face in finding models for their projects, while working with little or no budget whatsoever. I would therefore willingly offer my services free of charge to any who champion the cause of art. Of course, I would appreciate an email with the (high-res) pictures and the rights to use them afterwards :)
Just send me a message on Model Mayhem, I receive email notifications and will almost certainly respond within a single day :)

Who says you have to retire prints when summer comes to a close? Not so according to Tory Burch, whose Halland Tote aims to break a few seasonal rules.

Metaphysics Colloquium
The 2006 Metaphysics Colloquium was held at Saint Anselm College on June 14-15. The Colloquium is sponsored by the Institute for Saint Anselm Studies. The Colloquium was inspired by Pope John Paul II who in his encyclical letter Fides et Ratio spoke of the need for continuing philosophical speculation in order to come to an understanding of the Catholic faith. The Colloquium invites philosophers and theologians from the New England area to discuss and debate issues in metaphysics with a view to offering the ecclesiastical and scholarly worlds insights and principles upon which to ground their work. The principal speaker was Francesca Murphy. Responses to her paper were given by Agnes Curry and John Grabowski.

At the gate, you leave everyday life behind. That's why people travel here from all over the world, and many make it a tradition. The drama of rock and shy, the sheer grandeur of this place, is one reason.
That it is North America's World Cup mountain is another. It is also a place of intimacy. A private resort hidden from view, with the power to bring people together. The consummate kid-friendly resort.
That's what SKI Magazine has called Beaver Creek, and strolling through the square you can see why. It is a modern, custom-designed resort with the cozy, unhurried feel of an Alpine village.
At this elevation the air is clear, and so are the taste buds. Here you'll follow in the footsteps of gourmets and food critics. Here you can dine in a snow covered meadow, a pristine aspen glade, a private museum.
Beaver Creek regularly wins awards and accolades for its food, wine, service, lodging, safety standards and environmental efforts. It's a place where the staff are trained to not just provide what guests want, but to anticipate it. Welcome to Beaver Creek, welcome to your Shangri-La.
You enter thru the front door into a large entry with a spiral staircase and with windows displaying amazing views. Continue into the luxurious living room with vaulted ceilings and where a large stone roaring fireplace sits, an ideal place to warm up after a long day on the slopes.
The views of the grandiose mountains are picturesque through the floor to ceiling windows on the far side of the room. A wet bar is the perfect place to make cocktails while entertaining guests.
Enjoy a wonderful gourmet meal in the formal dining room off the entry and living room, where a butler door gives you easy access to the kitchen. The fully equipped and modern chef kitchen makes preparing meals enjoyable.
A breakfast nook off the kitchen features a large round table where your family can enjoy breakfast while planning the events of the day. This beautiful home features two luxurious master suites, each with a king size bed.
One is located upstairs with breathtaking views of the ski slopes, the other is on the main floor. Each master bath features steam showers and Jacuzzi bath tubs. Drift off into your dreams in the cozy premium bed linens on every bed.
Downstairs there are two beautifully decorated guest rooms, each with queen size beds and separate bathrooms. Also downstairs is a bunk room, with two sets of log bunk beds and it's own bathroom as well. A family room downstairs is the perfect playroom for little ones.
A convertible sofa offers another bed. Soak in the outdoor hot tub while looking at the incredible views of Beaver Creek Mountain. Guests have access to many world class restaurants, as well as the Complimentary Bachelor Gulch or Beaver Creek Dial-a-Ride service, a limo service that picks you up at your front door and drops you off at the ski slopes and the village of Beaver Creek .
