Oconomowoc SummerFestival Finalizes Schedule of Events
Oconomowoc SummerFestival 2010 on August 14th from 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM finalizes their Schedule of Events. Operation KidsSafe, a judged classic car show, Old World Wisconsin Tornado Relief Fund, Coast Guard demonstrations and live entertainment are highlights of this year's events.
"We're so excited about this year's Festival as we have more than 50 events planned; there is literally something for everyone," said Laurel Whelan, Executive Director of the Oconomowoc Association, "The best of Downtown Oconomowoc will be showcased and we will focus on child safety and fun during this event."
Operation KidSafe captures a child's picture and fingerprints using a digital video capture device, digital ink-less fingerprint capture device and specialized software. The captured data is assembled and a quality 8 ½ x 11" printout is given to the parent. The parent can use the printout to provide to law enforcement anywhere in the world. No database is maintained so only the parent has this information. The Downtown Oconomowoc Merchants Association (DOMA) is organizing this event and it will be FREE for every child that participates.
"We'd also like to thank our sponsors: First Bank Financial Centre, ProHealth Care, Isabella's Children Fashions, Cornerstone Pub and Eatery, Amalia's Family Restaurant, and Dr. Leman, Setnicar & Piacsek, S.C. whose support allows us to offer this as a FREE service to local families," Whelan continued.
While waiting to have their Operation KidSafe identification recorded, children will be delighted to meet "Coastie" from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. "Coastie" is the "talking" Coast Guard Boat. The Coast Guard will also have its public relations trailer at the event.
"Our goal is to spread the message of Safety on the Water whenever possible. This allows us to send the safety message to both children and their parents," said Jack Myers, Flotilla Staff Officer-Dealer Visitor Program.
Donations to the Old World Wisconsin's Tornado Fund will also be collected during the downtown event. The Eagle tornado damaged several historic buildings, knocked down thousands of feet of fences and felled 2,500 trees at Old World Wisconsin. The museum was closed for five weeks following the tornado. Although operations have resumed, the landscape looks drastically different. "We're learning that insurance won't pay for everything," said Dawn St. George, museum director. "We will certainly need [the OWW Tornado Relief Fund] to get back up and running."
There will also be many other free activities that are also part of the Oconomowoc SummerFestival 2010 including: the Avenue Art Faire, Coast Guard Demonstrations, In-House Specials, Classic Car Show, Specialty Food Booths, Interactive entertainment for all ages, DJ & live music on two stages and, much more.

Leadership and Labor's future
Page Tools
Yes, there is only one poll that counts and yes, that poll is a long way off - but even so Kim Beazley's poor showing in the latest round of opinion polls should worry Labor MPs. Over the past months Mr Beazley has drifted from one new low to another in the Herald Poll. Last weekend the pollster could find just 38 voters out of every hundred to approve of his leadership - a new and dismal record. With preferences Labor might still win an election now, but Mr Beazley's shrinking stature in voters' eyes makes the task more difficult with every passing day.
The Labor leader's job has been made harder by the party's loss of power in the Senate. Party discipline makes parliaments in Australia brutal places for minority groupings: lose the numbers and relevance suddenly disappears. Labor may have 88 members and senators out of 226 in the national Parliament, but it is now a bystander to decisions on the great issues of the day. Deprived of a role in shaping legislation, the party must draw on its resources to maintain its place in the public's awareness. Here the character of its leader is vital. He or she has to articulate with energy and vigour a compelling alternative vision for the country.
The Government's new authority has sometimes proved to be a trap. The push to sell Telstra has roused antagonism outside the big cities and towns, and little enthusiasm elsewhere in the community to compensate. The most effective opposition has come from inside the Coalition's ranks. Labor has been unable to get a distinctive message across.
Perhaps the Telstra sale finds Labor hamstrung because it has privatised government assets in the past. But even on something which should be next to Labor's heart the party has struggled. The Government's rapid moves to deregulate the labour market continue to worry the public. The Prime Minister's trust-me defence, based on claims that workers have benefited until now from the Coalition's industrial relations policies, has been credibly challenged. Yet in this contest of ideas almost all of that challenge has come from the unions, not Labor. Under Mr Beazley this opportunity to mark out the party's difference from the Coalition is ebbing away.
At the same time Mr Beazley's great strength - defence and foreign affairs - has been wholly neutralised by the Government's tough approach to asylum seekers and its activist, even aggressive, foreign policy. The Labor leader cannot turn to advantage the growing doubts in the community about both policies because - though he may cavil at a detail here or disagree with a decision there - his own instincts disincline him to oppose the Government.
Mr Beazley was the safe option to steady Labor's ship after the explosive Latham experiment upset its equilibrium. He has done that admirably, but his record so far suggests he may not be the one to continue at the helm. A new leader would need time to settle in. Although the only poll that counts is a long way off, it is time for Labor to start thinking hard about the leadership.
From bikini to burqa
As defence strategies go, donning a black burqa and professing the Muslim faith is certainly novel. Probably novel enough to kick some life into the ratings of that long-running reality TV show playing out in Bali's jails. But the extraordinary transformation of Michelle Leslie from underwear model to devout Muslim is no more than a passing distraction. Her new-found faith has no bearing on the charges against her for possession of ecstasy. For all the Australians now accused or convicted of drug offences in Bali, only one issue is relevant. The Indonesian Government is enforcing its harsh drug laws - as is its sovereign right. The crackdown may well end the long-running party in Bali - one of Asia's most popular and laid-back holiday destinations. Some Australians will mourn its passing. They should get used to it.
Indonesia is no stranger to the drug trade, nor to efforts to disrupt it. For Australia, Indonesia is a major transit route for drugs from Burma, Thailand and Afghanistan as well as a source of locally manufactured pills. The majority of Indonesians are Muslims and some abhor alcohol and drugs. Indonesian authorities have long come under pressure, especially from devout Islamic groups, to clean up nightclubs and punish dealers. The torching or trashing of nightspots by angry mobs is not uncommon, particularly during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. Claims that Australians are being targeted for random urine tests during the anti-drug campaign are not accurate, nor is the police operation limited to Bali. About 10,000 people have been searched and 1300 tested at dance parties and bars in Jakarta alone. The prevalence of Westerners indicates nothing more than the popularity of parties among expatriates and visitors.
The Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, is right to support Indonesia and to warn Australians to stay away from drugs overseas. Australian drug laws reflect a community view of addiction as an illness and seek to foster rehabilitation. Indonesia, and other Asian nations such as Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia, view drugs as a social scourge and favour deterrence through tough penalties, including death. The Australian Government must continue to oppose the death penalty for any Australian citizen arrested overseas, and monitor trials in foreign courts to ensure they are transparent and fair. But Australia cannot patronise Indonesia, or any other sovereign nation, by seeking special treatment or exemptions for its citizens. There is only one protection against harsh drugs penalties in foreign jurisdictions: don't do drugs.

After tearing through four straight weeks of gains that have U.S. stock indices nearing new heights, and despite upbeat news on durable goods orders, investors took a bit of a breather Monday.
The S&P 500 fell off 0.18% to at least stay fractionally above the 1,500 mark at 1,500.18, and the Dow slumped 0.1% to 13,881.93. The previously beaten-down Nasdaq got some respite, however, up 0.15% to 3,154.30.
Shares of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) managed to weather more downgrades and the momentary loss of its Most Valuable Company title to Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) to gain just more than 2.25%, stemming a two-day slump that lopped off more than 14% of its share price.
Construction and mining equipment manufacturer Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) gained more than 2% to lead the Dow despite a 55% decline in fourth-quarter net income, partially due to a one-time $580 million charge. CAT also predicted a difficult year ahead.
Men's retailer Jos. A. Bank (NASDAQ:JOSB) fell roughly 15% after giving a harrowing warning on its full-year profits, which it expects to fall by 20% despite record revenues. Sectormate Men's Wearhouse (NYSE:MW) fell nearly 6% in sympathy.
Shares of global energy company Hess (NYSE:HES) gained more than 6% after saying it would sell more assets as it exits the refining business and announced activist investor Elliot Associates is interested in buying a position.
Finally, Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) headed up more than 4% in after-hours trading following its Q4 earnings report. Yahoo grew revenues 2% to $1.35 billion, though earnings dipped 8% to $272 million, or 32 cents per share — though the latter figure did top estimates by 4 cents.
Earnings announcements on Tuesday included Corning (NYSE:GLW), Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).

Senator Dale M. Volker Secures $40,000 For Marilla Primary School Playground
Senator Dale M. Volker (R-C-I, Depew) today announced that he has secured $40,000 to assist in the construction of a new playground at the Marilla Primary School located on Bullis Road in Marilla. Senator Volker secured these state funds as part of the adopted 2006-2007 State Budget.
"Parents, teachers, administrators and the children who are part of the Marilla Primary School have shown outstanding commitment and dedication to raise funds for a new playground for their school and community," said Senator Volker. "Playgrounds play a instrumental role in our children's futures. By being physically active and socializing with their peers, they learn life lessons that will have lasting benefits for them as they enter adulthood. I would like to congratulate everyone involved in this major undertaking for all of their efforts to bringing this playground to fruition and I look forward to its opening."
Julie Schwab, Principal of the Marilla Primary School said, "The current playground has served our children and community well for many years. However, due to the potential of environmental and health concerns, the time has come to replace it so that all of our children, including those with some physical challenges, can enjoy playing with their friends and classmates in a safe, secure and friendly environment. I am very proud of the enormous effort and support of our children, administrators and educators in fundraising for the replacement of our playground. It is indicative of the character and dedication of our community towards its children and their well-being. I would like to thank Senator Volker for his continued commitment to our children and community by securing $40,000 in state funds for our playground replacement project."
William Seifert, Co-President of Marilla Playground Committee said, "I am very proud of the enormous effort and support of our parents, children, administrators and educators in fundraising for the replacement of our playground. Senator Volker securing $40,000 in state funds is an enormous shot in the arm for our new playground. We are indeed appreciative of all of his efforts to secure these funds."
This wooden-style playground was constructed with pressure treated wood that has since fallen out of favor due to environmental concerns. Due to its age and years of constant use, replacing this playground has been recommended. The new playground will meet all EPA standards and will be accessible to all children including those with physical challenges.

Write an equation in form slope intercept for passing through(-6,3) and parallel to the line whose equation is 4x-6y-10=0.
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
When two lines are parallel to each other their gradients or slopes are equal.
Further equation of a line can be written as `y = mx+c` .
Our line is parallel to 4x-6y-10 = 0
`6y = 4x-10`
`y = (2/3)x-5/3`
So if our line is y = mx +c then m = (2/3).
`y = (2/3)x+c`
But it is given that this line passes through (-6,3).
`3 = (2/3)xx(-6)+c`
`c = 7`
So the line described for our requirement is y = (2/3)x+7

On Monday, UK Labour MP Chris Bryant stated that News International's Management and Standards Committee had stopped cooperating in May with the investigation into phone-hacking and other illegal activities at Rupert Murdoch's now defunct News of the World.
Using parliamentary privilege, he suggested this was because evidence had emerged that could implicate the billionaire oligarch and his son, James, in criminal practices. News International had been happy to help the police investigation by "chucking overboard" journalists, Bryant said, as long as "the proprietor's feet didn't get wet."
Bryant asserted that News International had destroyed a laptop to conceal evidence of an illegal payment by Murdoch's Sun newspaper in 2005 for photographs of former Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein in his underwear. Bryant said that the illegal payment, involving a US soldier in California, meant that "at some point there will be charges brought against senior directors, quite possibly including James and Rupert Murdoch, as part of the body corporate."

With traditional ice cream the creaminess and smoothness you get, say in a strawberry ice-cream comes from the cream and fat and not the strawberries. Take the cream and fat out, and you no longer get a smooth creamy product. That is where DavePops are different. We make great smooth and creamy pops with whole fruit and no milk, cream, eggs or other animal fat products. It's dairy free, yet silky smooth and creamy.
The unique process for making DavePops is called duBle' and is patent pending. The origin of the name comes from the fact that the product is frozen twice and it coincidently rhymes with sorbet.
That's it, a simple process with simple whole foods, simply made to yield something simply great.
duBle' is a new process that makes an ice cream like product that is not dependent on using fat, dairy or eggs. It produces a unique and patentable ice structure that does not drip like ice cream or sorbet. Imagine making your favorite smoothie as healthy or indulgent as you wish, then refreezing that smoothie and have it stay soft and creamy, its frozen twice, that is duBle'.
Strawberry, Mint Chocolate Chip, Mango Mandarin Orange,
Root Beer, just to name a few flavors...
(That's right 4 strawberries in each pop)

After a pair of close games on the west coast, the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers were due for a game with some offensive fireworks. Nobody could have envisioned a 14-5 Detroit victory considering how things started early on.
Once again, the Tigers were unable to prevent another big inning from taking place immediately. After a two run double by Adrian Gonzalez, a single by Matt Kemp and home run by Juan Uribe, the Tigers trailed 5-0. Going against Hyun-Jin Ryu, that didn't look to be good news.
Shockingly, a response would come immediately from Detroit. The team put together eight hits in the bottom of the second to tie the game at five. Collecting RBI's were Alex Avila, Rajai Davis, Ian Kinsler and Miguel Cabrera. Detroit remained on top of Ryu, and chased him in the third after a single by Davis and a sacrifice fly from Austin Jackson made it 7-5.
The hits would keep on coming against Wright in the fourth, Another big inning chased him, as Detroit scored four runs in the fourth making the spread 11-5. Castellanos picked up an RBI, as did Avila, Davis and Eugenio Suarez. Detroit added one more run in the fifth and two more in the seventh for the 14-5 spread, which was more than enough for the pitching staff.
Following the messy first, Verlander got things back on the rails, only allowing one more hit the rest of the way through six innings pitched. Al Alburquerque took over, getting Detroit through the seventh, Ian Krol the eighth and Chad Smith the ninth, putting away the blowout triumph.
Top Tiger: Detroit's offense. Instead of handing out the award to a singular player, give the honors to Detroit's entire offense tonight. "We swung the bats well," Brad Ausmus said. "we hit some balls hard that found spots to go, we hit some balls not so hard that found spots to go." Detroit pounded out 14 runs and 20 hits, both of which were season highs. Better yet, the team accomplished the feat with Victor Martinez still on the sidelines
Bungling Bengal: Justin Verlander. Any other night, five runs in the first inning would be enough to doom a starter, but thankfully for Detroit, Verlander's offense was there to back him up. "Justin had the bad first inning, but he walks away from this game with a good taste in his mouth so to speak." Ausmus said. "(The win) gives him a positive frame of mind when he leaves the park tonight." Be that as it may, Verlander didn't pitch well early, and continues to look human at times. He needs to find a way to rediscover some consistency, because the hiccups, even for one inning, have a way of hurting the team.
The Turning Point: Torii Hunter's double. Had Hunter been thrown out by Puig on a close play at second, the game would likely have been much different. "That's how replay has changed the game. It probably changes the entire inning, really," Ausmus said. "It just goes to show you, the old butterfly effect, if one little thing changes in the game, it can change the rest of the game, or in this case, the rest of the inning." There's no doubt that the play helped ignite the bats, as the Tigers used the overturn to jump start a clutch five run rally and never looked back on the scoreboard.
Play Of The Game: Yasiel Puig nearly throws out Torii Hunter. Defensively, Puig is so instinctual that he nearly tossed out Hunter on a ball which banged off the wall hard. Puig wheeled around and threw on the fly to nearly nab Hunter at second base. Puig also showcased his throwing arm another time, throwing a ball into third base without so much as a crow hop. "He plays defense with reckless abandon out there and he's got a cannon for an arm, we're well aware of that," Ausmus said of Puig's electric effort.
Stat Of The Game: 2, the number of times the Tigers batted around in the game. That's a hard enough feat to accomplish one time during a nine inning affair, but Detroit did it twice tonight early in the game, against the usually tough Ryu to boot. That helped the offense get rolling and aided in a breakout performance after a few days of struggles.
Quote To Note: "I figured he was exhausted after hitting a triple." —Brad Ausmus. Miguel Cabrera left the game late, but it wasn't because of injury. Ausmus simply lifted Cabrera because of the lopsided score and the time of the game. Apparently, he also lifted him to let him catch his breath a bit after legging out a rare triple. Cabrera, the doubles king, rarely triples, but he did on this night.
What's Next: The Tigers finish off the two game series and the season series with Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon with Max Scherzer (10-3) going against Zack Greinke (11-4). The game will begin at 1:08 p.m.

A Sign of the times: Girl Scouts alive and well in Connellsville
A stroll through a small white house atop an East Crawford Avenue hill proves that the community spirit of Girl Scouting is alive and well in Connellsville.
For 70 years, the bungalow known as Connellsville's Little House has been home base for the good-deed-doing of girls, from preschool-age "Daisies" to senior high "Ambassadors."
There are currently about 300 Girl Scouts in Connellsville's Crawford Neighborhood, which includes all of Connellsville Area School District. Many troops meet weekly at the Little House; others at schools and private residences. All of the girls and their leaders are busy this month preparing for Sunday's open house that will celebrate 70 years of scouting at the Little House.
Visitors will easily find the local landmark. A colorful sign proudly heralds it, thanks to a Senior Girl Scout from Vanderbilt.
Bethany Lonce, 15, spent more than 40 hours on the two-sided wooden sign. It was done as a community project for her Silver Award, the second-highest in Girl Scouting. The Connellsville Area High School sophomore is already planning details for her Gold Award, the equivalent of a boy's Eagle Scout Award.
"I wanted to do something community-minded. That's what Girl Scouts do," said Lonce about the Little House sign.
To get started, she enlisted aid from Jeff Medvec of South Connellsville, assistant leader of Boy Scout Troop 101. "He was so helpful," she said, noting that Medvec constructed the posts from which the sign hangs. He also fashioned a blank wooden rectangle for Lonce to work on. Three-dimensional Girl Scout Trefoil logos were cut with a band saw; Lonce enameled them bright green.
Using stencils, she painstakingly carved block letters with a router, spelling out the Little House's name and address on both sides of the sign. "It took a long time."
Colors were then applied to the recessed text and coats of polyurethane swabbed over the entire wooden surface, sealing it against sun, rain and snow.
"I want to thank Mr. Medvec for his help," said Lonce, the daughter of Mike and Rhonda Lonce. "He provided the wood and the tools. All I had to do was buy the paint."
Lonce has enjoyed scouting for 11 years and plans to see it through until she graduates from high school. She began as a Daisy Scout when she was a 5-year-old preschooler at the former Building Blocks Preschool in Connellsville. "Mom signed me up and I liked it right away."
Since then, she has "flown up" from Daisy to Brownie to Junior to Cadette and, currently, to Senior Scout. She is currently a member of Troops 53101/53305 which are led by 30-year Girl Scout Leader Joan Emanuel. Next year, Lonce will become an Ambassador, the highest rank of Girl Scouts. "I've never regretted being part of Scouts," she said. "I've made a ton of friends."
Scouting has taken her and her sister scouts many places, including camping trips local and afar. This past July, a group traveled to Savannah, Georgia, to see the birthplace of Juliette Low, the founder of Girl Scouting in America. "We toured the Girl Scouts' first headquarters as well as other things," said Lonce.
2012 Girl Scout Centennial
It was a timely visit, as 2012 will mark the Centennial of American Girl Scouting.
The girls hold many fundraisers during the year, always keeping community spirit forefront. Lonce especially likes "Thinking Day," an event where troops each pick a different country to research and talk about.
"My friend Alexis DeMott coordinated a Thinking Day as her project for her Silver Award," Lonce explained. DeMott, also a sophomore, has been scouting for 10 years. She is the daughter of A.W. and Bobbie Jo DeMott of Dunbar.
Scouting isn't the only thing keeping Lonce busy. She plays baritone sax in the Falcon Marching Band, swims on the high school team (100-yard butterfly and relays), pitches for the Connellsville Softball League during summers, and is active in Scottdale Church of Christ's youth group (her family attends Vanderbilt Church of Christ).
Every New Year's Day, she and her dad plunge into the icy Youghiogheny River as members of the Polar Bear Club. "It was 36 degrees this year. That was pretty warm," joked her dad.
He said Bethany's many activities keep him and his wife busy. "It takes a lot of time, but it's worth it. In a couple of years this will all be over and we will miss it."
His daughter says that sometimes the kids at school tease her about being a Girl Scout, "but it's all good-natured. I just tell them it's fun and that's that," she declared.
Someday, Lonce hopes to attend Indiana University of Pennsylvania or Johnson Bible College in Knoxville, Tennessee. She wants to teach, preferably music or history. One thing's certain: She won't quit scouting. "I plan to stay involved as an adult."
Little House turns 70
Say, Brother, Can You Spare a Can?
Those visiting Connellsville Little House on Sunday are asked to bring a nonperishable food item. All food collected will be given to Connellsville Area Community Ministries Food Bank, which has had a tough year due to the current recession. The open house will be held from 2 to 5 p.m.
Connellsville's Girl Scout Little House has morphed from drab to delightful -- and it's only taken 20 years.
The public is invited to see the renovations for themselves at an open house to be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday at the local landmark located at 144 E. Crawford Ave. (next to Immaculate Conception RC Church).
Purpose of the open house is twofold. It will celebrate the Little House's 70th anniversary and will kick off the Centennial of Girl Scouting in America, to be marked in 2012.
"So many people have been saying they can't wait to visit. They have such good memories of Girl Scouting and the Little House," said Joan Emanuel. She and Barb Bielecki are the last remaining charter members of the Connellsville Little House Society, the nonprofit group formed in 1990 to operate the Little House after the Girl Scouts of Southwestern Pennsylvania discontinued funding for the building.
In the 20 years since, tens of thousands of volunteer hours -- as well as thousands of dollars-worth of donated materials -- have transformed the East Crawford Avenue structure's interior. Once dark and dingy, the inside today is bright and cheerful. The inside was gutted and slowly remodeled over the past two decades.
From its spic-and-span tiled kitchen to the upstairs sleepover room with its sturdy wooden bunk beds (a special project completed by a Normalville Junior Girl Scout troop), to the spacious, brightly-lit downstairs meeting room, the Little House is proof that there are still people who give from their hearts and truly care about their community.
Nearly every night, a troop gathers at the Little House. That includes some Boy Scouts, too.
This past summer, Emanuel collected Girl Scouting items from donors, preparing for this month's open house. In a July Daily Courier article, she put out a plea for donations -- and has been overwhelmed by the response. Photos, letters, uniforms and other memorabilia came her way in a landslide.
On Sunday, visitors can reminisce about "The Good Old Days," starting from the Great Depression years of the 1930s to the 21st Century.
Emanuel said she's hoping some current Girl Scouts will model uniforms from the past. Cooking demonstrations -- a mainstay of scouting -- will be conducted outside, weather permitting.
"Golden Eaglet," a silent movie about World War I Girl Scouts, will be shown. An album of sing-along songs, donated by a former Girl Scout, will provide background music.
As a community project that day, patrons are asked to bring a nonperishable food item. "This has been a tough year for food banks," Emanuel said. All food collected will be given to Connellsville Area Community Ministries Food Bank.
Former Girl Scouts who visit will be asked to sign the guest registry -- and to share their memories about scouting and the Little House.
Emanuel stressed that members of Connellsville BPO Elks Lodge 503 are "wholeheartedly invited" to visit on Sunday. The Elks purchased the Little House from private owners in 1940. The lodge has leased it to the Girl Scouts for $1 per year ever since 1941.
"We thank them for their generosity and hope that they come to see for themselves how nice the house looks," Emanuel said. "Girl Scouting is still going strong in Connellsville."
Although there is no fee to attend the open house, donations are always welcome and needed, she added. "We hold fundraisers throughout the year. It costs a lot to keep the Little House in operation."
In that vein, the Little House Society will host a fund-raiser dinner on Oct. 10 at Nancy's Tea Room on North Pittsburgh Street. Tickets are $20 and can be reserved by calling Emanuel at McCusker's Safe and Lock Co. at 724-628-0130.
Volunteers are welcome, too. "There is still much work to be done," Emanuel said.
Donations to the cause can be mailed to Connellsville Little House Society, P.O. Box 2044, Connellsville, PA 15425.

Girl Scouting in Connellsville dates back almost as long as Girl Scouts do.
The first troop in town was started in 1921, only nine years after the Girl Scouts were founded by Juliette Low.
A local high teacher named Miss Lewis organized Connellsville's first troop, which met at Greenwood United Methodist Church on the city's West Side.
Twenty years later, Girl Scout troops were thriving here and, thanks to the efforts of some Connellsville women and BPO Elks Lodge 503, the girls had an official Little House in which to gather.
First Little House: 1923
By the time Connellsville Little House was founded in 1941, the Little House concept was well-known nationally. In 1923, a small house in Washington, D.C., was donated to the Girl Scouts through the efforts of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The idea caught on and many Girl Scout councils opened Little Houses. Soon, the concept was sweeping the nation from coast-to-coast.
Connellsville's came into being in 1941, thanks to the Elks, who leased the residence to the Girl Scouts for $1 per year. They've been doing so ever since. Women who spearheaded the house's opening included Elizabeth Fletcher, Grace Biesel, Ermine Grimm, Peggy Snowden, and Mary Erhlich, according to local historical records.
The building was nearly 80 years old when Girl Scouts first met in its rooms. It was built as a private residence by the Connell family way back in 1852, before the Civil War. That makes the structure nearly 160 years old today, a significant fact in itself.
Eventually the Connells sold the house. When the Elks bought it in 1940, it was owned by the Newcomer family.
For 50 years, the Little House was maintained and operated by the local Girl Scout council. However, by 1990, the Little House concept was no longer widely accepted as in scouting's early years when troops and councils were fewer and smaller. The national trend was to close Little Houses.
Funding for such projects had become tighter for the Girl Scouts of Southwestern Pennsylvania, the council to which Crawford Neighborhood (Connellsville area's Girl Scout Troops) belongs. Council funding was axed and suddenly the familiar local meeting place found itself in peril.
In the spirit of "When the going gets tough, the tough get going," Connellsville Scout supporters took the bull by the horns.
The result was Connellsville Little House Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping the local landmark open to Girl Scouts and other community-minded groups.
Led by such dedicated people as Joan Emanuel, Barb Bielecki, Faye Augustine, Peggy Swank and Janice Pritts -- and many others -- the society took on the burden as a labor of love.
Dances, dinners and other events raised funds back then, continuing to the present day. In the early 1990s, a $25,000 state grant was secured by then-Sen. J. William Lincoln.
A patient metamorphosis of the little white house on the hill began.
During the two decades since, the inside has been extensively remodeled, mostly with volunteer help. The outside also has been maintained.
"The only project that required hired labor was when we put a new roof on," said Emanuel, who has been a Girl Scout troop leader for 30 years.
"We can't possibly say thanks enough to everyone who has helped - and continues to help," she added, pointing out there is always more work to be done.
And, as any homeowner knows, maintenance is an infinite thing.

The cheapest way to take care of your own hair is to avoid using dyes and styling tools, ask a family member to give you a haircut, and use the cheapest store-brand shampoo possible.
Under such circumstances, hair care would be very cheap. But many people -- myself included -- aren't willing to go to this frugal extreme.
The other extreme, however, is equally unappealing. A woman's haircut and full highlights can cost $100 to $150, and it needs to be repeated every two months.
Keratin deep-conditioning treatment costs $400 or more. High-end shampoos can cost more than $30 per bottle, and high-end styling tools require an outlay of several hundred dollars.
All told, you could easily spend $1,000 per year or more on hair care.
Here are four ways to save money on hair care without sacrificing the basic quality of care.
1. Search for the 'cheapest of the best'
Ultracheap shampoos might be filled with chemicals that strip your hair of its nutrients and leave it dry. But that does not mean you need to buy a top-end brand name. Read online user reviews to find the "cheapest of the best" shampoos and conditioners, many of which can be purchased for less than $10 per bottle.
2. Shop online for hair products
Shop on websites such as Amazon.com or Overstock.com for higher-end styling tools or hair products. You will often find these marked down from their cost at brick-and-mortar stores. Alternately, use Froogle.com, a service offered by Google, to compare the price of a particular item across multiple websites and local stores.
3. Space out your treatments
Many salons advise returning for haircuts and color treatments every two months. If you can stretch that out to three months, you will only need to make four trips to the salon each year, rather than six. That will cut the cost of your treatments by one-third.
4. Scour daily deal sites
Groupon, Scoutmob, LivingSocial and other daily deal websites often offer salon care treatments at steep discounts. Save money by breaking your loyalty to a particular stylist, and instead using the websites to find the best deal as you hop around from salon to salon. Who knows? You might find a new stylist you like better than your former favorite.

This is my first post here and it may be my last. The perversity of this organization has become too much for me. I agree that this team has talent. I read the words 'asinine' and 'moronic' in reference to Jordan. But I haven't heard anyone say what seems obvious to me: the man has a mental illness. Your hopefulness isn't crazy, the head coach is and very much so. It's crazy to start Willie Green over Brand. It defies all reason. It's crazy to play Kapono at PF when there's more than 15 seconds on the clock. It's insane the number of games Ivey had 10+ minutes and Jrue 0. And that's just the rotations. Anyone who watches a couple minutes of a Sixers game could continue this list ad nauseum. Maybe Jordan has a neurological disorder like those people who are only aware of one side of their plate. I'm not trying to be hateful and negative. I respect alternative points of view. But Jordan's decisions and his comments to the press are too bizarre for me to grasp hold of. Am I alone in this assessment?
Sorry to offer nothing more than these ad hominem attacks. Glad to have discovered this blog, as it has been disturbing to read the Inq and DN sixers coverage and not find any comments about the strange coaching.
Believe me, you are not the only one. Everybody on this blog(most everybody...) feels the same
I started a petition.
Sign in!
I am an optimist and if you told me L.Will. and Elton would play like this and Jrue would contribute right away I would of said 45 to 50 wins, but the worst possible FIT was hired, E.S. this is on you!!!! You didn!t even give Thibadeax or Turner a shot!!1
Mo or DiLeo could coach this roster to 45 wins. And I think they are limited coaches.
"Mr. Stefanski? The meeting with Mr. Holmgren is finished...Mr. Snider will see you now..."
There is no question in my minbd that this is the most talented Sixers team that Iverson has ever played on. If they do not have success, it will because of one thing - Eddie Jordan.
All we can hope is that Snider and the Roberts boys will get hooked on the increased crowds that AI brings like a crack whore and they do the right thing and blow the clown out of here.
I had been thinking the same thing about this being better than the roster AI played with in 2001, but their record cannot be totally overlooked.Perhaps we are deceiving ourselves. I'd like to place 90% of the blame on the coach. He took a better than average defensive team and made them a joke on defense. Given this team's limitations offensively, the best chance this team has to be successful is to emphasize defense. If they can hold teams to about 85 points, they have a chance. They cannot score 105 points night in and night out even with AI. I've always been an optimist, but I'm really a Depressed Fan with this coach.
I agree with everything said in this post. Jordan could never take advantage of the players given to him. The part that sucks is, if they do start winning, no thanks to the PO, Jordan might be keeping his job for much loner than we all want him to.
For the season record thus far:
I think in terms of blame goes - 5% on the players (I can blame willy green for taking stupid, contested jumpers while other players are open, but I can't give him much blame for starting. That wasn't his decision)
95% blame goes to the coach.
With that said and done, I still think they can pull off a win against the bobcats.
I posted this at reclinergm. It's what I think is the heart of the problem with ES and the organization:
I do think ES is a bright basketball guy. I have agreed with some of his decisions, but he has made one pervasive mistake. the same one that was made at the AI trade…
You can't have it both ways. You are either young and rebuilding or you are trying to win now. This overlaps from BK right into ES. I don't know where the blame for one starts and the other ends.
Flashback to the AI trade and look at the decisions:
-At time of AI trade, worst record in the NBA: BUILD FOR FUTURE
-Acquire 2 #1's for AI: BUILD FOR FUTURE
-Acquire and rely heavily on Andre Miller and Joe Smith: WIN NOW
-Let Joe Smith walk for nothing: BUILD FOR FUTURE/MONEY?
-draft Thad Young, 19 years old, supposedly raw and years away: BUILD FOR FUTURE
-Sell #1 pick and trade out of 2nd round picks: WHO KNOWS/MONEY?
-Draft supposedly raw Speights: BUILD FOR FUTURE
-Sign 30 year old Brand to Philly Max: WIN NOW
-Sign 24 year old AI9 and 21 year old Lou Williams to long term deals: BUILD FOR FUTURE
-Extend Mo: BUILD FOR FUTURE?
-Fire Mo: Win Now?
-Interim coach DiLeo: WHO KNOWS/MONEY?
-Hold onto Miller's expiring at deadline: WIN NOW/MONEY?
-Let Miller Walk for nothing: BUILD FOR FUTURE/MONEY?
-Hire EJ:WHO KNOWS/MONEY (Wash paying part of his contract)
-Sign AI: WIN NOW?/MONEY?
Good post. Wasn't Brand 28 when they signed him, though? I think you could see that move as win now and accelerate their window. Coming off a playoff berth, it wasn't out of the question to think he had at least 3 solid years in him, and the rest of the roster would mature significantly in those three years.
For me, the EJ decision has just snowballed out of control, each decision made since then (except drafting Jrue) has been worse and worse.
I understand what ES was trying to do, and it was nice to try and both win now and build a even better winner down the road. Also, this approach started before ES got here.
The problem is the margin of error is less. If you go full on rebuilding you typically have financial flexibility. You don't have the ticking clock of Brands escalating contract and age. Really, aside from Brand, the rest of the line-up is well suited for building towards a good team in 2-3 years. they have lots of potential assets to trade if the right superstar hits the market.
As I alway said, you build defense around Iverson. That was seen in 2001, that was a all defensive team. And for the last 3 years the sixers been quitely in the top 10 of almost every defensive category. That of course was before Eddie Jordan. With that being said if we could get rid of EJ we could get back to our defensive pedigree and be dangerous in the east. EJ could coach the Boston Celtics into a bad defensive team. The reason we lost to Boston this year, even with all the injuries, is because EJ left Willie Green in and Rondo went off for like 8 straight 4th quarter points and penetrations. I know Ed. Stefanski is a smart basketball guy he has to see this poor excuse for a coach. I had high hopes for this guy and the princton offense. I just didn't know that was the only thing he knew how to coach, this guy is like golem from Lord of the rings. the PO is all he cares about. I mean we were one of the best rebounding teams in the league the previous years but now were close to the worst and it's all because of EJ.
Great post Brian, and great comments all. I'm a newbie here, trying to escape the Brand-hating preteens of the Philly.com board. This post says everything I've been saying to anyone who would listen.
I lived in Washington during Eddie's tenure with the Wizards, and I knew this kind of crap is exactly what would happen. He picked a fight, for no reason, with Brand, just like he did in DC with Brendan Haywood. EJ would rather lose and win his fights with players than lose his alpha-dog status and win.
Stefanski needs to fire EJ today or be fired along with him. This team has the talent, it's amazing how much a talent-laden team can be held out by a coach as incompetent as ours.
Great, intelligent comments. I hope 76ers management reads these comments. Please name me one good move ES has made. Drafting, Speights? Yes. That's the only move I could think of. He signs Brand and then does not put shooters around him. I hated the EJ signing as coach when it happened and the guy has shown me even less than I expected, and my expecations were low. He was brought in for the Princeton offense, and yet the team will not run it now that Iverson signed. So we'll see one-on-one play and no Princeton Offense. So why keep Jordan? Likely because the team is still paying for Checks and maybe O'Brien and ES doesn't want to admit he made another mistake.
I'm currently in Hong Kong...but i remember there was a post (this was ages ago) where ed and like a coach had conference calls with a few of the sixers bloggers?
I'm not sure this would lead anywhere but have you (brian) thought about writing a letter to anyone in the front office? Like i know how this sounds, suits of an franchise listening to some internet blogger...but in the end how man people read your blog? or anyother blog? we are the fans, the people who pay to see the games...and your posts certainly influence our decision (influenced mine) and it's actually based on stats and logic (as opposed to Eddie Jordan's coaching). At the end of the day if we ain't winning and there's something that can be done or put forward, they should know.
just my 2 cents.

In half a minute the bear's snout appeared at the top of the hole.
One man, a butcher, was pulling on a rope which was tied around a porker's snout.
A sharp blow on the snout with a stick seems sufficient to kill them.

As soon as it advances its snout to seize it, its foot is caught in the trap.
The nostrils are on the upper part of the snout, through which it blows like a whale.
They only allow the end of the snout, or at most the head, to appear.
He had his snout thrust out, and was "sniffing" at a great rate.
There could be no doubt that it had a turn-up nose, much more like a snout than a child's nose.
We was under the tents looking at a little Giraffe; a elephant come up behind me and touched me with its snout.

ZW3D CAD Tips ( Sketching —— Make sure base lines, arcs, circles and curves are properly constrained )
You should ensure that the base line, arc, circle, or curve that you are constraining to is also properly constrained. For example, placing a 2D Anchor Constraint on the base curve will fix it in position while other geometry is constrained to it. The base curve may also be constrained to other geometry thus determining its position. A base curve that is unconstrained may produce unpredictable results when the constraints are solved.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
13 & 40 Noticed
by Paul on 06/10/09 at 10:50 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
The plays these guys make in tight are impressive, as are the plays they make defensively to turn it into offence. These guys were unbelievable to watch all night - they had five of the 12 shots that were blocked by the Red Wings, they're terrific when they don't have the puck, they're magical to watch when they do, and it's going to be terrific to see a Game 7 showdown between the best of the Penguins and the best of the Red Wings.
Really, offensively on the night, you noticed Datsyuk and Zetterberg a lot more than you did Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin but as I said, the supporting cast ruled the day, and Pittsburgh's was a little better.

Robin Stokes, of Armidale, has upped the ante in the ''You and me'' vs ''you and I'' imbroglio (Column 8, Saturday). ''I, Act III, Scene II. Bassanio, reading a letter from Antonio: 'all debts are cleared between you and I'. Was the Bard using what he thought correct in his own time and place, or what he thought Antonio would have written had he been writing English?'' Ron Elphick, of Buff Point, chimes in with ''No pedant, I, but.''
''I recently saw, in a shop window,'' reports Chris Blower, of McMahons Point, ''a statement to the effect that 'A duck's quack does not echo and no one knows why.' I'm sure that whoever wrote those last four words reckoned without Column 8ers. Any ideas?'' Hmm. Well, firstly, we have to establish if the allegation is true. Does anyone have access to a loud duck and a sheer cliff face?
''We now all know that you can put sausages down a library chute,'' writes Graeme Eggins, of Ballina (Column 8, last week), ''but what about a personal tragedy reflected in a list of five library books? A book I borrowed from our library last week contained a printout issued almost a year ago, listing the books a member had borrowed that day. They were, in order: iPad for Dummies, Retire Ready: The Definitive Financial Guide, Our Ageing World, Financial Literacy and Coping with Grief and Loss. A friend commented 'It's almost haiku.'''
''In a Japanese noodle restaurant near Chinatown,'' writes Brian Blunt, of Kensington, ''I noticed on its menu display a warning that they cooked different types of noodles in the same boiling water and requesting that customers 'inform us if you are allergic to any allergies'.''
Column 8 fears there may be a demarcation problem at Darling Harbour. Striding as we do each day to the Column 8 building in Pyrmont, we walk past the National Maritime Museum. On several occasions over the last month, we have observed rangers wheel abandoned supermarket trolleys up from the Harbourside shopping and restaurant zone and shove them into the bushes outside the museum, where they remain for days, eventually filling with litter. Locals tell us that the rangers who patrol Darling Harbour are not Sydney council staff, are only responsible for their little patch, and the museum garden is conveniently ''across the border'' as it were.
''The verb is harrumph, not hurrumph, amongst us oldies,'' hurrumphs Dave Horsfall, of Springfield (Column 8, on Sunday). ''You've been told this before.'' Hurrumph, we say!

Monsters are cool....it's not easy to be one who's worth remembering, cause there are lots of monsters out there...waiting for you to come out. But which takes the best of the best to kill? Let's have a look at these glorious killers.
Well here are my Top 10 Monsters In Gaming.
1 Archvile (Doom 2)
You've killed just about all the monsters there are and got all the bloody keys that you can collect. You proceed towards the exit door. Suddenly you're on fire! Uncertain of what has happened, you look around. Nothing there, except for a monster very far off, that you haven't seen before. BLAM! Your health suddenly nosedives and what's more, all the monsters you've killed so far come back to life. If you've ever witnessed this, you know exactly why ArchVile simply had to be at the top of this list.
2 Headcrab (Half Life)
This is one of the monsters that has bothered the hell out of me. The first time you see the headcrab in Half Life, you'd probably say, "How cute!" (that is, if your taste is as screwed-up as mine). Then it literally jumps onto your face. There are two problems with headcrabs. They're everywhere. And there's lots of 'em. After you're past the first level, all you can think of, when approaching a corner, is to switch to the handgun and look into those dark corners for these vile chunks of pain.
One of the fastest monsters in Quake, the Fiend was the last monster in the demo levels. Lying motionless like a bat on two feet, it springs up and literally rips you apart. Perhaps what kicked me most was its in-your-face attack. You see it tearing you apart up-close as you're pumping lead into it. Once you've beaten it, all you do is keep away from it.
4 Alien (Alien/Predator)
It's the alien from the movie. It spits acid, has no respect for gravity and is very fast. If that doesn't get it listed here, nothing will. In the AVP series, the alien does look a bit human, but only if it stays still long enough. Most of your experiences against it boil down to lonely tense moments, watching for any dots on your motion sensor. Beep! A dot appears out of nowhere on your display. That's followed by intense moments, as you shoot at the black blur that appears from above you. If you're lucky, the bloody thing dies, you heal and the fear of it stays.
5 Hound (Quake 2)
This was probably the most irritating character in the Quake series. It hides in the dark and does some chameleon-like tongue flicking action from 15 feet away, be it up or down. The worst part is that it doesn't die easily. Pick a simple weapon for killing it and chances are the opposite will happen. The next time you see this beast, select the rocket launcher or the rail gun and frag it to bits. At least that's what I did!
6 Shodan (System Shock)
Shodan was an AI construct that you create in System Shock, made to oversee and manage a space station. She suddenly becomes a maniac, killing almost all of the people onboard and converting them into cyborgs. While she never actually fights with you, Shodan controls the cyborgs and the whole spaceship, which you explore. There's always a lingering sense of her watching your every move, co-ordinating with all the creatures to kill you. What builds your paranoia is that she actually has a personality!
7 Hand (Blood)
These irritating little suckers are just too much! You're doing your bit — exorcising demons, killing everything with TNT... Suddenly you notice this hand scampering towards you.Before you have time to react, it jumps on you and squeezes your throat. Your screen goes black as you choke on its vice like grip. Fortunately, you can shake the creature off by repeatedly pressing the spacebar, but by the time you've managed to do that amidst all the fighting, you're dead!
8 Howler (Undying)
This has got to be the only monster whose absence scares you! They move in groups, bite your head off and eat it. To add to that, they howl. A lot. In fact, you hear them long before you even come across them. They're not too tough, but they move fast and attack in packs, often from different directions and at the same time. After your first encounter, every howl will make you look around frantically — with the biggest gun you've got for safety.
9 Beheaded Kamikaze (Serious Sam)
These are amongst the most fun monsters I've ever encountered in any FPS. You'll definitely hear them long before you can actually see them. These headless zombies apparently had a lovely career as suicide squad members, and it shows. With two bombs in their hands, these monsters run to you and then blow up. While they're easy to ward off, a dozen of them coming straight at you from all sides might be slightly more than you can handle.
10 Octabrain (Duke Nukem 3D)
One of the weirdest monsters in the Duke Nukem world, these octopus-like aliens use their psi energy to attack you. While they're easy to kill when far off, up close and personal requires you to dodge their psi-attacks. Get hit by one of those and your screen blanks out for a moment. Worst encountered when coupled with other monsters. As the story goes, these aliens might also be responsible for all the cocooned damsels. And that makes Duke angry! Grrr…
Well that would be it! Hope you enjoyed! See you again soon...with more and more of cool blogs from my side!
Axle is a Gamer, Rapper, Handsome Indian, Sexy and whatever it takes to be the best. Follow him on MyIGN at @Axle_Blaze or give him a follow on Twitter. You can even befriend him on Facebook. Do not miss this chance.....he's ready for you.

By J. Michael Falgoust, USA TODAY
Antonio Margarito has been knocked out — again.
The California State Athletic Commission revoked the former champion's license Tuesday, effectively putting him out of boxing for a year. By federal law, all states must honor the revocation.
The board levied the punishment after a hearing in Van Nuys and determined that Margarito (37-6, 27 KOs) and trainer Javier Capetillo were using an illegal substance or device in his hand wraps.
The Mexican-American, who now resides in Tijuana, was forced to have his hands rewrapped several times and went on to lose by ninth-round technical knockout — and recognition as the world's best welterweight — to Shane Mosley on Jan. 24.
Capetillo took the blame for the incident and told the commission his fighter didn't have knowledge of his actions. Capetillo, who also was suspended for a year in California, said it was "an innocent mistake."
Bob Arum, founder and chairman of Top Rank, which has promoted Margarito for 10 years, plans to fight the decision.
"The kid did nothing wrong. He didn't know anything. To deprive him of earning a living for one year is Draconian and un-American," Arum said. "We're going to seek to overturn it."
The state of California has to officially log Margarito at Fight Fax, boxing's national registry, as being suspended. When that happens, by federal law — The Professional Boxing Safety Act of 1996 and Ali Act of 2000 — all states must honor the suspension even though boxing doesn't have a national commission.
When Mike Tyson was suspended after his ear-biting incident with Evander Holyfield in 1997, his legal team tried to argue it was revocation of his license in Nevada — not a suspension — when he later, and unsuccessfully, tried to get a license to fight in New Jersey. Tyson didn't fight again until 1999 in Las Vegas. The federal government closed that loophole with the Ali Boxing Reform Act.
The decision casts a shadow on Margarito's accomplishments for Emanuel Steward, a legendary trainer who worked the corner of Kermit Cintron when he lost to Margarito last year. Both of Cintron's losses have been by knockout to Margarito.
"It matters a lot, because everything this man has worked for is suspect now," said Steward, who sent a representative to view Margarito's hand wraps.
Steward also is conflicted about this episode because Margarito's last nine fights have been in states with the strongest commissions in the country — Nevada, New Jersey, New York and California. "A year's suspension is probably appropriate," Steward said. "I feel sorry for him. It's hard for me to believe he's been doing this all of this time.
"I can't believe all of these veteran trainers and these strong commissioners would miss this."
Arum and Margarito's legal team probably will ask the California courts and Association of Boxing Commissions to allow him to fight elsewhere in the USA during the appeal process.
There's also the possibility of fighting in Mexico, where Arum said he's already being courted. Arum has staged many cards from Mexico via pay-per-view in the USA.
"We'll have him back in the ring by June," Arum said.

Medical Definition of Shock
Shock: In medicine, a critical condition that is brought on by a sudden drop in blood flow through the body. The circulatory system fails to maintain adequate blood flow, sharply curtailing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to vital organs. It also compromises the kidneys and so restricts the removal of wastes from the body. Shock can be due to a number of different mechanisms, including not enough blood volume and not enough output of blood by the heart. The signs and symptoms of shock include low blood pressure (hypotension); overbreathing (hyperventilation); a weak, rapid pulse; cold, clammy, grayish-bluish (cyanotic) skin; decreased urine flow (oliguria); and a sense of great anxiety and foreboding, confusion, and sometimes combativeness. Shock, which is a major medical emergency, is common after serious injury. Emergency care for shock involves keeping the patient warm, giving fluids by mouth or, if necessary, intravenously, and frequently the administration of drugs that act to improve cardiac and circulatory function.
