Altoona looks to build on last season's foundation
A new culture continues to take form in Altoona as John Franco returns for his second season in his second stint with the Mountain Lions.
The veteran coach led Altoona to a 4-6 record last season, including a 4-4 mark in the Quad East, which was good enough for a three-way tie for fourth with Hempfield and Kiski Area.
"It was a tough transition last year, no doubt. We needed to change a lot in the football program," Franco said. "The total change of the culture of the team was tough for everyone, including both the players and coaches. Last season's performance was expected, but now we are built on a good foundation. We need to take that and improve on last season's performance for this year."
Franco might have the numbers to compete on weekly basis but could be lacking some of the school's top athletes who participate in other sports.
He hopes to add to the team's skill level by going back to the basics, focusing on fundamentals and improving practice habits.
"I expect us to be better at how to perform to the expectations that I set. I expect us to practice better and to learn how to play in the system better," Franco said.
"I expect us to better understand how to meet and understand the requirements of the program. We had poor practice habits last year. Everything stems from there."
The Mountain Lions will look to replace their leading passer, rusher, and receiver, who all graduated. Altoona will miss quarterback Brennan Luciano, running back Avery Howsare and wide receiver Jake Diviney.
Franco will turn to more of a junior-laden lineup, including quarterback Eli Mencer, but also will lean on a core of seniors this season. Altoona will look for leadership from linemen Nate Schienberg and Nate Farlow as well as fullback-linebacker Kevin Givens. Many other roster spots remain up for grabs.
The Mountain Lions could see a spike in interest from local athletes if they stayed closer to home and played rivals from the District 6 days.
"We need to get back to playing our rivals in Central Pennsylvania. The WPIAL is a great conference, and it's a lot fun to face the top competition," Franco said. "Unfortunately, nobody likes it in Altoona. I think we need get out of it and play our rivals that Altoona is used to playing. However, we are bound to the WPIAL for the next couple of years so we need to get used to it."

Top Dirt of the Day - Friday, August 22nd, 2014
The cover of the upcoming Marvel comic "Spider-Woman #1" has created some controversy, because it has a lot of ASS.
It's actually a "variant" cover, meaning it's one of several that will be issued. So if you don't like this cover, you CAN get a different version.
Something tells me a lot of guys are going to go with this one, though. It shows Spider-Woman crouched on all fours, with her butt stuck up in the air. And her body shape is so detailed and defined that it looks like her costume is just PAINTED on.
(Check it out here, and scroll down for the "official" cover, which is a bit more innocent.)
People have been complaining to Marvel, but they're not backing down. One exec issued a statement admitting that people who are upset about it "have a point", but he did NOT apologize.
Although he did say, quote, "I think a conversation about how women are depicted in comics is relevant at this point, and definitely seems to be bubbling up from the zeitgeist. That too is fine. Nothing gets better unless ideas are communicated."

Fathers' day takes on a new meaning
Page Tools
Family time
Christopher Rodrigues spends more time with
Hannah, left, and Joshua, than most fathers do with their children.
Photo: Robert Pearce
Christopher Rodrigues gave mothers' group a try, but the competition was so stiff it scared him off. The support of the sisterhood soon gave way to unconcealed rivalry where babies' achievements were concerned.
"It was, 'They've started talking', or 'My child's first tooth has come through'," said Mr Rodrigues, father of Hannah, 2, and eight-month-old Joshua.
These days, he attends a weekly dads-only playgroup, where the pace is gentler and the participants much more laconic.
The Chatswood group - aimed at the growing population of fathers who are principal carers for their babies or toddlers - has a serious purpose. Child and family health nurse Alison Leray-Meyer set up the group to give the fathers information and reassurance about feeding and dealing with tantrums, as well as extending their social contacts.
"It is a parenting initiative," she said. "There's a lot of information available about child health and nutrition, but it's delivered in a more activity-based, playful way."
The ubiquitous mothers' group format - six weeks of lectures followed by another year or two of informal coffee-shop meetings - did not meet men's different communication styles, she said.
From stories of traumatic births to cracked-nipple remedies, "women seem to network really quickly. They start to talk to each other immediately. Men might take a lot longer to begin to talk about personal things," said Ms Leray-Meyer, who organised the group after she noticed more fathers going to the baby health clinic to have their babies weighed, measured and checked.
She will outline its progress today at a conference of the Tresillian organisation, which provides support to families with new infants in NSW.
Nearly two years on, 29 men have attended, and the consensus is that the male-only environment works better for them. There have been trips to the beach and Luna Park, and a night at the pub is planned - sans babies.
No firm figures exist on the proportion of fathers who are primary carers for babies. But a substantial number make at least some adjustment to their work schedule to care for children, shows 1999 data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. One in 10 sometimes worked from home, while 23 per cent took advantage of flexible work hours.
In the Rodrigues family, it was obvious which partner should stay home. Mr Rodrigues runs a wedding dress business with his wife, Helen, and clients might not appreciate having a man do the fittings.

Deena Webster - Hurry, Tuesday Child (1968) MP3/Flac
I was kind of surprised to find that this record hadn't been blogged before (at least that I could find). It's bad enough that it hasn't been reissued on CD. So even though I have some of my own records to get ready for posting I thought I'd take a few minutes to put this one up for you. As suggested, it's not my recording, but was done by FolkPhile (from vinyl) some time ago. FolkPhile is a great collector and poster who has been around in file sharing circles for a long time, posting in newsgroups and sharing in other places as well. So thanks to her (?) for this one.
And what about the record? It was issued on Parlophone in 1968 and features some excellent covers of contemporary folk/pop selections (the Flower Lady, NY Mining Disaster 1941, Colours, etc.) and older, popular folk numbers (House of the Rising Sun, Geordie) accompanied by the guitar playing or by string orchestra (under the direction of Arthur Greenslade). Deena is a British folk singer in the popular style of the day (think early Marianne Faithful or Bridget St. John). Perhaps not an original approach but all well performed. Deena has a great voice and is perhaps a little unemotional at times, but that's nit-picking really. Overall an excellent and unjustly forgotten record.
There's not much information available on the Web about Deena. The only Web page devouted to her is in German and, if the number of Google hits is any indication, she also appears to be popular in Japan.
Here's a tracklist:
A Side
Hurry, Tuesday Child
Hair Of Spun Gold
New York Mining Disaster, 1941
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
The House Of The Rising Sun
B Side
Who Will Buy
The Flower Lady
Summer Day Reflection Song

The Last Thing On My Mind

Finally picked her up on Saturday!
Well, after endless waiting, I finally picked up my new '04 Silver Gray 325i. I love the car, and I love the Nav system. It is a great feeling knowing that you CANNOT get lost ever again. The days of printing out directions from mapquest are over.
I did have a couple snags w/ her though.
1) after bringing the car home, i noticed that there is a faint (but incredibly annoying) crackling/staticy sound coming from the tweeters in the front (I got H/K). Needless to say, I was less than pleased. So I brought it back to the dealership and they ran some tests and let me know that I need a new amplifier. Kinda sucks, but if this is the extent of any problems I'll ever have w/ it, then I can live as long as they promptly fix it for me. I'll need to make an appointment for this one.
2) Earlier today, the keyless entry was not working for me. I kept hitting the buttons on my keys, but they didn't do anything. Any ideas what would cause this? It's only happened once so far. After I got to work it was fine again. Better not be a reoccurring problem.
Has anyone had any of the same problems?

The Tigers were picked to finish second in the ODAC pre-season poll and were tabbed #23 in the D3hoops.com Pre-season Top-25 Poll. Junior Harrison George (pictured at right) was also picked as a Pre-season Fourth-Team All-American by D3hoops.com.
The Tigers are utilizing an exciting brand of basketball with full-court pressure defense and fast-break offense with lots of dunks. The style of play has led to tons of points being scored, an average of 87.4 points a game. H-SC has scored 80 or more points in five of their eight games and 70+ points in all eight.
The Tigers got the season off to a roaring start down in Alabama for the Huntingdon College Classic. They opened their season with a 99-86 win over LaGrange College and blew out host Huntingdon 98-71 to win the Classic. H-SC then dropped a tight 81-79 contest to Methodist, but followed it up with and 89-67 win over Shenandoah in the South Region Hoops Challenge on the campus of Mary Washington. Hampden-Sydney then lost their second game of the Hoops Challenge 73-70 to USA South Athletic Conference pre-season favorite North Carolina Wesleyan.
The Tigers opened up their home slate on November 30 with an impressive 108-65 thrashing of Eastern Mennonite and cruised to an 81-72 win over Ferrum College. In the Ferrum contest, George scored 26 points en route to scoring his 1,000th career point. H-SC then rounded out their fall-semester schedule on December 7 with an impressive 75-53 victory over Randolph College.
The Tigers are showing off a dazzling display on the offensive end this year, torching the nets with a 52.1% field-goal percentage while also converting on 34.2% of their three pointers. Perhaps even more impressive has been the defense thus far. H-SC is limiting opponents to 71 points, a 42.3% field-goal percentage, a 30.1% conversion rate from beyond the arc, and 21.1 turnovers a game for a 0.49 assist-to-turnover ratio.
George is leading the team in scoring at 17.4 points a game on 66.7% shooting while also adding 6.0 rebounds a game, six blocks, and 12 steals while averaging just 19.6 minutes. Senior Ben Jessee is posting 10.4 points a night and needs just 61 points to reach the 1,000-point plateau, while sophomore Khobi Williamson is checking in with 10.4 points and team-highs of 8.2 rebounds and 11 blocks.
The Tigers return to the court on December 29-30 as they host Pitt-Greensburg, John Jay, and Frostburg State in the Bojangles Christmas Classic.

TextBoxFor: It will render like text input html element corresponding to specified expression. In simple word it will always render like an input textbox irrespective datatype of the property which is getting bind with the control.EditorFor: This control is bit smart. It renders HTML markup based on the datatype of the property. E.g. suppose there is a boolean property in model. To render this property in the view as a checkbox either we can use CheckBoxFor or EditorFor. Both will be generate the same markup.What is the advantage of using EditorFor?As we know, depending on the datatype of the property it generates the html markup. So suppose tomorrow if we change the datatype of property in the model, no need to change anything in the view. EditorFor control will change the html markup automatically.

Violent video games alter brain function in young menDecember 02, 2011
INDIANAPOLIS -- Sustained changes in the region of the brain associated with cognitive function and emotional control were found in young adult men after one week of playing violent video games, according to study results presented by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.
This is the first time the IU researchers, who have studied the effects of media violence for more than a decade, have conducted an experimental study that showed a direct relationship between playing violent video games over an extended period of time and a subsequent change in brain regions associated with cognitive function and emotional control.
The controversy over whether or not violent video games are potentially harmful to players has been debated for many years, even making it as far as the Supreme Court in 2010. There has been little scientific evidence demonstrating that the games have a prolonged negative neurological effect.
"For the first time, we have found that a sample of randomly assigned young adults showed less activation in certain frontal brain regions following a week of playing violent video games at home," said Yang Wang, M.D., assistant research professor in the IU Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences. "The affected brain regions are important for controlling emotion and aggressive behavior."
For the study, 28 healthy adult males, age 18 to 29, with low past exposure to violent video games were randomly assigned to two groups of 14. Members of the first group were instructed to play a shooting video game for 10 hours at home for one week and refrain from playing the following week. The second group did not play a video game at all during the two-week period.
Each of the 28 men underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis at the beginning of the study, with follow-up exams at one and two weeks. During fMRI, the participants completed an emotional interference task, pressing buttons according to the color of visually presented words. Words indicating violent actions were interspersed among nonviolent action words. In addition, the participants completed a cognitive inhibition counting task.
The results showed that after one week of violent game play, the video game group members showed less activation in the left inferior frontal lobe during the emotional Stroop task and less activation in the anterior cingulate cortex during the counting Stroop task, compared to their baseline results and the results of the control group after one week. After the video game group refrained from game play for an additional week, the changes to the executive regions of the brain returned closer to the control group. Stroop task tests an individual's ability to control cognitive flexibility and attention.
"These findings indicate that violent video game play has a long-term effect on brain functioning," Dr. Wang said. "These effects may translate into behavioral changes over longer periods of game play."
Dr. Wang said that another important point of the study was that the young men were supplied with laptop computers and played at home in their "natural environment." Some of the previous research was done with players participating in a lab setting.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
It is perfect location in the center of lovely old harbour with many restaurants, shops, markets etc. Rooms are good and clean, staff very friendly and helpful.
Great balcony. Good food.
I liked the location of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff. We were leaving on a public holiday so thre were no public buses to Trieste. The gentleman on reception gace us all this information which we would not have been aware of otherwise and booked us a taxi to the airport. We were alsos very impresed with the quality of breakfast in the morning - the best we had while in SLovenia and great value for money - keep it up!
Wonderful location, right at a small harbour. Very good food and helpful staff. They let me check out very late. I will come back again.
Friendly staff. Motorcyclist friendly -- willing to find a solution, even though a car had blocked the motorcycle parking area
Location, location, location, but also many other points (reasonable breakfast, room with view (extra charge well worth), helpful employees Nothing really, it is not a perfect or extraordinary hotel, but certainly a good choice. No parking near hotel (very few places of hotel were booked), but free parking in 10 min walkin distance.
Very clean, safe, and comfortable. Staff helpful. Great location. Excellent restaurant. No.
location and staff's kindness coffee for breakfast
the view to the see
Lovely setting, balcony on the water
We received my son and myself a very good welcoming as Mme vodisek did kept my son as a receptive family because of my request, was very kind from her and her family. We felt very welcome and nicely received. Every aspect where nicely covered by the staff of the hotel.
Unattractive Restaurant, smell
it was clean and supplied enough beds for our needs, as we came along with 3 children the hotel is located in a business area. it's kinda hard to see where to go in the hotel and where the business offices.
Proximity to railway station and being within walking distance of the old city centre Lack of facilities for any meal other than breakfast. Breakfast was fair only.
Good location. Good value.
Very little Poorly managed, more like a bar with rooms
Location is good, rooms were large. The hotel could use renovations.
The location was good, it was very easy to get to the town centre. The staff was very rude, did not smile and did not speak English.
flexible and friendly staff. the aircondition did not work and the hotell staff was unable to repair it. It was very hot outside and also inside the room.
The staff were very friendly & helpful. The hotel restaurant was inexpensive & convenient. Location was great for public transport & closeness to the Old Town.
Nice room and very good food in the restaurant. The air condition did not work in the room. The beach is very far and poor, but swimming pool is OK.
Swimming pool included. Nice location. Belvedere: only for the restaurtant: none of the rooms did have any view at all. Too much noice during the night (hotel surrounded by camping).
panorama, sea
good location
The sea view was absolutely magnificent. The hotel is placed in the outskirts of Izola and therefore offers a great panoramic view of the port. The rooms was a little bit small, but very clean and cosy. We had out towels changed every day and we stayed in a small villa that fronted the sea. The restaurant menu was flavored and specific to Italy region. Maybe a more variety of the breakfast dishes.
Only one thing, the location. 1) Shower handle broken. 2) TV remote control not functioning. 3) The outlet of the aircondition is at the hight of the bed causing wind to blow on your body and therefore impossible to sleep. 4) When a hotel is situated near a beach and extra cost is required for a balcony, it is normal to assume that that the room will face the sea. It was disappoiunting to get a room with a balcony facing the parking. It would have been more honest rrom the hotel to charge more for a sea view not just mentioning the balcony. We really felt cheated.
beautiful view from the room and the restaurant, the breakfast was good, I loved the way to the beach that is very nice and not so long walk, at the and of this walk, the nearby beach close to Izola is good bed of down, more vegetable to the breakfast would be better, but this is often a problem everywhere in Mediterranean countries in Europa.
We enjoyed our holiday here very much! This was our third holiday here with our grandson and I'm sure it won't be our last!! The room was clean and the personnel very helpful and friendly.We particularly liked the swimming pool! A pleasant hotel with fantastic views.Our only criticism being that our stay was too short!!!
Very clean room and comfortable bed. Good, clean swimming pool and area. Lovely view from terrace restaurant. Just one thing which affected our enjoyment of breakfast. The policy was not to allow guests to eat breakfast on the outdoor terrace area, which was unnecessary, as there was ample room for guests to be both inside and outside, and there was an adjoining partition door to the outside area. It seemed to be just a matter of making things easier for staff, rather than offering a service to guests.
the whole environment,the closeness of the sea no
Not too far from the beach. Good value for money.
The room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was excellent! The internet connection was poor.
really nice place to stay.. and have a short break
hotel was super clean, very modern, quiet location, very nice and clean bathroom, food was excellent, staff very nice. the beach little too far , more than 300 meters, and not very nice.
The hotel is really not far from the sea. Hotel Keltika is furthermore small hotel and it creates like family atmosphere.
Excellent servise, very polite personel, clean and tidy.
smooth vacation area,walking distance to the beach. silence ambiance.. it is slightly expensive according to the similar hotels around the area. %25 surcharge for one person, balcony charge, short stay surcharge. due to summer season and shortage of bed in the boundry; some additional charges should be considered by customers.
Staff was very helpful. Parking place is too small. Room was next to entrance and therefore was loud.
Hotel is close to the beach (do not expect Hawaii beach). I beleive the other rooms are OK, not the one that we had. Most likely we had the smallest room in the building. In addition, under the window there was a table, where people could have nice discussions 24/7. Fortunately this disturbed us only once. In front of the room door there was the dining room, next to the door of the dining room they had the coffe machine (breakfast from 8:30 - wake up time guaranteed). If you get room "03" at the reception, and you do not like what I described, claim immediately.
Lovely choice at breakfast. Clean rooms. Instructions ir room for air conditioing would have been useful.
Placed close to the highway to italy and slovenian seaside,close to the city an important shoping centers,thuogh in a silent side of the city,nice stuff,good conditions for the price. Nobody on duty by night if some guests are getting noisy or are having some problems.
Beds were poor and the restaurant could not cook. Not much of a breakfast although fresh.
The staff was waiting for us, even if we arrived late, there was a lot of things to eat for breakfast, nice balcony... Nothing
The Staff were very obliging and their dining room is excellent for all meals.
Nothing The impression was given from the photos that the hotel was out in the countryside is is not true as basically its on an industrial estate.
wifi does not in all rooms, a bit far from city
the clealiness of my room
good meal, food styling bad smell in the hall
Breakfast ok.Bedroom a bit tiny.Air conditioning helpful but couldn't open windows furniture bed all congested in to small space.
The web site did not make clear that this hotel is no where near the centre of town and is in a run down industrial area. Do not visit.
Good breakfastGood location Poor service - we were asked to pay 48 euros extra per night for a 3rd person when there were 4 beds in the room.The rooms were 'tired' and there were cigarette burns in the floor.Too many people on the beach - so many it was not possible to sit.
Rooms, service, wellness facilities. Restaurant service (but food was very good!)
The receptionist was extremely helpful in recommending and planning our trips.
I like the hotel staff, very nice and very helpful. The hotel is new, very clean and confortable. The breakfast was really nice, good coffe and food. The only bad thing is the location...far from the centre
The room was very nice. Basic breakfast, not a 4 star hotel breakfast.
Service was very good and hotel was new
Super stay; perched above the crowds at the seashore. Drive down is fabulous; can be difficult to find, but ask as the people are friendly. Air conditioning didn't work, but I suspect it was shut off as the mountain air was crisp. Breakfast was a bit of a mystery; I paid breakfast in the beginning, but didn't get much. This is a super spot; out of the way in a village (Korte). Great people. Super clean. Comfortable. I liked it all. Suggest that towels be provided.
air-conditioned room, beautiful landscape, quiet surroundings, open-air space with wooden tables, free use of computers, large parking area
Nice location No
Nice hostel. Friendly staff, new building, good starting point for travel on the Istria.
I was there the third time, and I know this hostel is good. There are no bad points.
Excellent atmosphere and great coffee - definitely to recommend as a place to stay
the building was nice and well refurbished the breakfast was very bad, don't ask fro breakfast!
Great room for the money. Hard to find. Staff is not on duty during designated hours! They leave a note saying "Out for 15 minutes" but its lie, they live in town offsite and you must call. They weren't there when we arrived or when we left, during there small window of designated hours, rediculous.

Description: Sophocles (497/6-406 BC), with Aeschylus and Euripides, was one of the three great tragic poets of Athens, and is considered one of the world's greatest poets. The subjects of his plays were drawn from mythology and legend. Each play contains at least one heroic figure, a character whose strength, courage, or intelligence exceeds the human norm-but who also has more than ordinary pride and selfassurance. These qualities combine to lead to a tragic end. Hugh Lloyd-Jones gives us, in two volumes, a new translation of the seven surviving plays. Volume I contains Oedipus Tyrannus (which tells the famous Oedipus story), Ajax (a heroic tragedy of wounded self-esteem), and Electra (the story of siblings who seek revenge on their mother and her lover for killing their father). Volume II contains Oedipus at Colonus (the climax of the fallen hero's life), Antigone (a conflict between public authority and an individual woman's conscience), The Women of Trachis (a fatal attempt by Heracles' wife to regain her husband's love), and Philoctetes (Odysseus' intrigue to bring an unwilling hero to the Trojan War). Of his other plays, only fragments remain; but from these much can be learned about Sophocles' language and dramatic art. The major fragments-ranging in length from two lines to a very substantial portion of the satyr play The Searchers-are collected in Volume III of this edition. In prefatory notes Lloyd-Jones provides frameworks for the fragments of known plays.

The Greek dramatist Sophocles, born to a wealthy family at Colonus, near Athens, was admired as a boy for his personal beauty and musical skill. He served faithfully as a treasurer and general for Athens when it was expanding its empire and influence. In the dramatic contests, he defeated Aeschylus in 468 b.c. for first prize in tragedy, wrote a poem to Herodotus (see Vol. 3), and led his chorus and actors in mourning for Euripides just a few months before his own death. He wrote approximately 123 plays, of which 7 tragedies are extant, as well as a fragment of his satiric play, Ichneutae (Hunters). His plays were produced in the following order: Ajax (c.450 b.c.), Antigone (441 b.c.), Oedipus Tyrannus (c.430 b.c.), Trachiniae (c.430 b.c.), Electra (between 418 and 410 b.c.), Philoctetes (409 b.c.), and Oedipus at Colonus (posthumously in 401 b.c.). With Sophocles, Greek tragedy reached its most characteristic form. He added a third actor, made each play independent---that is, not dependent on others in a trilogy---increased the numbers of the chorus, introduced the use of scenery, shifted the focus from religious to more philosophical issues, and brought language and characters, though still majestic, nearer to everyday life. His finely delineated characters are responsible for the tragedy that befalls them, and they accept it heroically. Aristotle (see Vols. 3, 4, and 5) states that Sophocles said he portrayed people as they ought to be; Euripides, as they are. His utter command of tragic speech in the simple grandeur of his choral odes, dialogues, and monologues encourages the English reader to compare him to Shakespeare (see Vol. 1).

The city of Milaca may have some interest in a 40-acre parcel adjacent to the east side of the city's airport.
Councilman Ken Muller, also a member of the airport commission, reported to City Council members at the June 13 meeting that the owner of the 40 acres had contacted him to ask if the city was interested in purchasing the acreage.
The site would be ideal for a future location of hangars, Muller told council members.The council had a brief discussion about the proposal, and it was the consensus to have Muller and City Manager Greg Lerud contact with the property owner and the state regarding the property.
Lerud said last week he sent an email to an engineer with the Minnesota Department of Aeronautics, asking about the possibility of the state participating in an 80/20 split for funding, the city being responsible for the 20 percent.
A report will be made to the council at a future meeting, Lerud said.

Soap making is one of the most famous craft-making activities today because there a lot of soap making recipes available online and the ingredients needed are very easy to find. Homemade soaps are perfect as gift and great idea for business.
However, when making soaps, there are some things that you must consider; like how you are going to choose soap molds supplies, how to add the ingredients, specific ways of stirring the mixture, and what specific soap molds and cutters you are going to use.
Soap molds and cutters can make homemade soaps more artistic and appealing. There are a lot of commercial soap molds that you can buy or you can make your own soap molds.
When looking for the right soap molds you must know first the type of soap making procedure you are going to employ. If you are planning to use the heat soap making procedure or lye soap making procedure, make sure that the molder that you will use is heat and lye resistant.
When planning to use either of the procedures mentioned above, the best advice is use Pyrex glass molder. Glass or ceramic molds can't stand the high level of heat so it is better not to use those. If you chose to use glass or ceramic molders, these molders may not last for a long time, thus you will end up spending a lot.
On the other hand, the best choice for cold soap-making process is to use wooden and plastic soap molds because these two are more flexible compared to glass and ceramic. It is very easy to unmold handmade soap without damaging it if you will use wooden or plastic molders.
Again, if you choose to use heat in soap-making make sure to use microwave plastic that is heat resistant. Stainless molders will be a great choice as well; it's not flexible like plastic but it is heat resistant.
Use only the soap molds as soap molders; do not use it again in your kitchen for other purposes. Since you will be using strong additives like essential oils, boric acid and lye so do not intend to use those soap molds for cooking or baking.
Types of soap molds that you can choose from
To put elegance and appreciate more your homemade soaps, you need to pour it into your soap molds trays to take in the final shape that you desire. Molding your handmade soaps is the best part of the soap-making process. You can devise or make your own soap molds trays or buy soap molds wholesale at the local crafts supplier in your place.
But the task doesn't end in looking for and buying the molds; you still need to know the types of soap-making molds that you can choose from. When it comes to size and shape, the following types of molds are available: customized molds, innovative log soap molds, standard bar soap molds, and unique novelty molds; you can buy this soap molds wholesale in your trusted store. Indeed, there are a wide variety of soap molds supplies that you can choose from, you just need to be artistic in choosing.
When buying soap molders, you also need to consider the type of soap-making process that you are going to employ. Here are the basic types of soap molders that can help you in choosing the right one:
First is wooden soap molds, it's a traditional type of molder. Usually the shape is box-like and made of wood. Before pouring the soap mixture, you must put a wax paper lining to prevent the soap from sticking to the wood molder. Wooden molder has hinges on two sides to easily open the box to unmold the soap.
Second is silicone soap molds, this is the latest trend in soap making. Silicone molds are very famous because they are very flexible, non-stick, durable, and most of all heat resistant. Most customized soap molders are usually made of silicone.
Third is basic soap mold, this soap molder is the least expensive among the three basically because it is made out of plastic. This kind of molder is only good for cold processed soaps. However, if it the plastic mold is labeled as microwave safe, you may use it in heat processed soaps.
If you do not have enough money to buy molders, you can make your own soap mold. There are a lot of materials that you can use you just need to be creative and artistic. Soap molds can really create a very good impact on your homemade soaps, especially if you are planning to sell it or give it as gifts. Just follow the simple guidelines, and for sure you will never go wrong in choosing the perfect soap molder for your soap making project.

Towers and Gongs
Two series begun in 1951, "towers" and "gongs," introduce new developments in Calder's art. The architectonic towers are related to the constellations of the previous decade, but include a greater variety of elements within their scaffold-like structure (see wall to far right). With their little wire spheres, mobiles, carved wooden forms, and even a painting (Tower with Painting), the towers seem to offer a survey of Calder's art in miniature.
Calder, who had first experimented with sound-making sculpture in the early 1930s, liked the sound some of his mobiles made when the metal plates collided. In the gongs (for example, Triple Gong), he emphasized this aural dimension by including small metallic hammers that strike the plates at random when the mobiles move.
Monumental Sculpture
From 1953 until his death in 1976, Calder devoted most of his energy to monumental sculpture, which is represented in this section of the exhibition by several maquettes and a video showing works in situ. Most of these sculptures are stabiles designed for a specific location.
The small metal maquette -- the first step in the production of a monumental sculpture -- was already for Calder a sculpture in its own right: "Even in aluminum and very small, at the model stage, the object must please whether it is intended to be made in large dimensions, or not." The earliest large-scale sculptures, such as Teodelapio, were constructed directly from the maquette. After 1965, an intermediate maquette, usually about one-fifth the final size, was often fabricated to test the wind resistance and to refine the structure.
The final sculpture was executed by skilled ironworkers under Calder's supervision. The large versions of Southern Cross (maquette) and of Tom's (maquette) are installed on the lawn outside the East Building.
Other large-scale works are spread throughout the public spaces in the East Building.

Quotes After The Race At The Nurburgring
Posted by: newsla on Aug 17, 2014 - 03:36 PM
Quotes After The Race At The Nurburgring
Two Audi drivers  Mike Rockenfeller and Edoardo Mortara  were on podium in the DTM race at the Nürburgring. Quotes after round seven of the season.
Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich (Head of Audi Motorsport): ÂWhen youÂve got five cars in the top six on the grid, positions two and three are not enough. We clearly fell short of our potential today. WeÂre going to use the break between now and the Lausitzring to look better in the last three races of the season. In the drivers classification, a preliminary decision was made. But in the manufacturers classification, everything is still possible.Â
Dieter Gass (Head of DTM): ÂHaving two drivers on podium in the DTM is basically a good result. Congratulations to Mike (Rockenfeller) and Edo (Mortara). Obviously, itÂs not satisfactory that only these two managed to make use of their good grid positions. We did not achieve our aim of winning the race. WhatÂs more, we lost a lot of cars  especially at the race start. Losing four out of eight cars due to collisions is painful.Â
Mike Rockenfeller (Schaeffler Audi RS 5 DTM), 2nd place
Tires: option/standard
ÂBasically, IÂm very pleased. This was a weekend the way it should be. Of course I had hopes of beating Marco Wittmann with ten kilograms less in my car. Unfortunately, that didnÂt work out. But IÂm honest: second place is a nice result. We should have managed that more often this year. IÂm traveling to the next races with a positive feeling and am going to give my best as long as everything is still open. LetÂs see how that pans out.Â
Edoardo Mortara (Audi Sport Audi RS 5 DTM), 3rd place
Tires: option/standard
ÂI had a good race weekend here at the Nürburgring. The weekends before were very difficult. The race wasnÂt necessarily perfect. My start could have been better  but from the right-hand side itÂs always more difficult. But in the end, I was very pleased. IÂm hoping that things will continue this way in the next races.Â
Adrien Tambay (Playboy Audi RS 5 DTM), 11th place
Tires: standard/option
ÂI was unfortunate at the start because I was pushed and lost a lot of places. My car was damaged at the rear. It was a tough race, but I battled and tried to make the best of the situation and made up a lot of positions.Â
Jamie Green (Hoffmann Group Audi RS 5 DTM), 15th place
Tires: option/standard
ÂEverything that could go wrong went wrong. I had a bad start and immediately lost a few parts of my car when I wasnÂt able to get out of the way in a duel between Miguel (Molina) and Timo (Scheider). On option tires, I was simply lacking speed compared to the cars in front of me. A lot of drivers overtook me. Then I had a rough duel with Farfus. Afterwards, my car was even more heavily damaged. From that point on, it was difficult to stay motivated. Subsequently, on standard tires, things were going a bit better. Unfortunately, I didnÂt manage to finish in the top ten.Â
Nico Müller (Audi Financial Services RS 5 DTM), retirement
Tires: standard
ÂIt was frustrating because the race had really started well. I was the quickest on standard tires and had good chances of making up places at the end of the race. The car felt very good and I was able to pass Timo (Scheider). Half a lap later, he was pushed from behind and hit me. Unfortunately, that ended my race.Â
Timo Scheider (AUTO TEST Audi RS 5 DTM), retirement
Tires: standard
ÂI knew that starting on standard tires would be difficult. I gave my best and had a good start. After two laps, everything was sorted and going well. I then defended myself against Robert Wickens, he missed the braking point and hit me with locked wheels. I flew off and hit Nico Müller, which ended the race for both of us. It was a shame because we had chances of scoring points. It was a foolish and unnecessary action on RobertÂs part.Â
Miguel Molina (Audi Sport Audi RS 5 DTM), retirement
Tires: option
ÂIt wasnÂt the best race of my life. IÂm upset about what happened in turn one.Â
Mattias Ekström (Red Bull Audi RS 5 DTM), retirement
Tires: standard
ÂI had a good start and in the first turns things werenÂt going bad for me either. Then there was contact with other vehicles and my car was damaged. A weekend to forget.Â
Hans-Jürgen Abt (Team Director Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline): ÂWeÂre not completely happy with this race because we lost two cars on the first lap through no fault of our own. ItÂs nice that Edo (Mortara) was on podium and that weÂre second and third in the Championship. But that doesnÂt really satisfy us. We had different expectations. But we had no chance for victory and need to work on changing that.Â
Ernst Moser (Team Director Audi Sport Team Phoenix): ÂThe positive aspect for starters: weÂre incredibly happy about ÂRockyÂs (Mike Rockenfeller) second place and particularly about him being able to still attack Wittmann towards the end of the race. If the race had lasted a few laps longer, he might have even grabbed him. An impeccable performance. WeÂre back. In TimoÂs (Scheider) case, we took the risk of starting on standard tires. He did a good job of staying clear of the commotions and was the leading standard driver. Then this action by Mercedes happened, which cost him the race. Points would definitely have been possible.Â
Arno Zensen (Team Director Audi Sport Team Rosberg): ÂThis wasnÂt our race. Jamie (Green) didnÂt move off well at the start and immediately lost a few parts. All the contacts he had with rivals didnÂt help matters. The car was definitely damaged quite a bit. He kept battling all the way up to the end but that was all that was possible. In NicoÂs (Müller) case it was really a shame. He had the speed but then there was this silly action. Wickens hit Scheider, who then hit Nico. That was very frustrating.Â

News Release
City of Roseville
Public Affairs & Communications Office
311 Vernon St.
Roseville, CA 95678
Phone: (916) 774-5362
Subject :
City, State and Regional Leaders Gather for Douglas Boulevard/I-80 Improvement Project Celebration to Open City's First Tunnel
Contact :
William Boyer, Public Information Office (916) 774-5201
Elected leaders and invited guests from throughout the region joined Roseville Mayor Gina Garbolino, and Caltrans Director Will Kempton to help celebrate the completion of the $35 million Douglas Boulevard/Interstate 80 Improvement Project and to formally open the City's first-ever vehicle tunnel onramp during a special ribbon cutting ceremony and inaugural tunnel drive-through with pristine classic cars from the 1930s, 40s and 50s.
The completion ceremony comes almost exactly 22 months after the groundbreaking occurred on Feb. 17, 2004—right at the same place where it all began at the entrance to the 800-foot-long tunnel now named after former Roseville Mayor Harry Crabb.
"This is a regional project that benefits all motorists in Northern California, not just Roseville residents, who drive Interstate 80 between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe," said Roseville Mayor Garbolino. "It's been 15 years in the making and we're all looking forward to having the project completed and the tunnel open."
It is also the largest and most complex roadway improvement project in the City's history and was designed to increase access to Interstate 80 (I-80) and to help improve vehicle circulation patterns at the Sunrise Avenue-Douglas Boulevard Intersection—the busiest intersection in Roseville. Almost 100,000 cars per day travel through the intersection—many seeking to enter I-80 or having just exited the freeway—and engineers say the project's most positive effect will be to remove about 15,000 cars per day that would otherwise travel through the intersection.
The Harry Crabb Tunnel is an engineering marvel that is as much as 40 feet underground where Douglas Boulevard crosses over it. The tunnel has a 16-foot clearance height and is equipped with mechanical ventilation, carbon monoxide sensors, a fire detection system, interior lighting, water pumps and communications equipment. To build the tunnel, more than 60,000 cubic yards of dirt were removed by workers under the direction of R.L. Brosamer, Inc., the general contractor.
Joining Garbolino and Kempton on stage for the ceremony was California State Assemblyman Tim Leslie, Celia McAdam, Executive Director for the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency and members of the Roseville City Council.
Roseville Public Works Director Rob Jensen presented a plaque of appreciation to his predecessor, Larry Pagel, for the former Public Works Director's efforts that began more than 15 years ago to get the project going.
Garbolino made the formal announcement of the tunnel's new name and presented Harry Crabb with a commemorative, small-scale duplicate of the tunnel sign that now bears his name. Crabb served on the Roseville City Council for about 20 years, including eight years as mayor during four different two-year terms between 1980 and 2000.
After the formal program, invited guests and officials gathered in front of the tunnel entrance for the traditional ribbon cutting ceremony. After cutting the ribbon, officials took seats inside more than a dozen classic cars from the 1930s, 40s and 50s—many valued at more than $80,000—for the inaugural ride through the tunnel. The showcase cars were provided courtesy of the Townsmen Car Club, a local group of car enthusiasts who preserve pre-1970s vehicles.
Garbolino said the project "could not have happened were it not for the visionary leadership of previous City Council members who recognized the need for improvements, worked to fund them and to create partnerships with federal, state, county and other regional agencies" to make the project a reality.
"City staff is also to be commended for their long-term dedication to this project and for working closely with our partners, Caltrans and the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency to ensure the vision was carried out."
Most of the $35 million project cost—about $24.3 million—came from development-paid traffic mitigation fees collected by the City during the past 15 years. The rest, about 10.7 million, came from a combination of federal and state highway funds.

The government's leading index of employment fell in August for the fourth consecutive month, pointing to slower jobs growth in the coming months, the employment department said on Wednesday.
The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations said its leading employment indicator fell to -0.063 in August from -0.092 in July.
The Department said it was too early to confirm a prospective slowing in employment growth to below its long-term trend of 2.0 percent per year, as that would need six consecutive monthly falls.
But it said cyclical employment was already below its long-term trend.
"Cyclical employment has now fallen for the sixth consecutive month, confirming that the annualised growth rate of employment is already below its long-term trend," it said.
Jobs figures for July are due on Thursday, with economists forecasting 10,000 new jobs and the unemployment rate to remain steady at 4.9 percent.
Since the early 1980s, the leading index has consistently anticipated turns in the labour market, beginning to rise and fall before employment does, but with variable time lags.

VIRAL VIDEO: Strangers Make Friends By...Slapping Each Other??
Remember the 'First Kiss' video that went viral a little while ago? Two people that had never met before were placed in front of a camera, introduced themselves politely, and then shared a kiss. It was actually pretty sweet - Jimmy Fallon even made a puppy parody!
We thought the beginning of that video was the epitome of awkward...until we saw this one called 'The Slap.' Two strangers shake hands...before giving each other a friendly slap. On the upside, lots of laughs are had by all participants!

Main Campus
The 30-acre main campus of Queens University of Charlotte is nestled among the signature oak trees of the historic Myers Park neighborhood between Selwyn, Wellesley and Radcliffe avenues. Five of our Georgian buildings were built in 1914 and have been lovingly maintained to preserve historic features. Their architectural motif of red brick with white trim has been incorporated in the more modern buildings, and extensive renovations have been done to other older buildings on campus.
Some of the most recognized areas of campus include Trexler Student Center, the John H. Sykes Learning Center (home to the McColl School of Business,) and Ovens Athletic Center which will soon be replaced by the Levine Center for Wellness and Recreation.
Older campus landmarks include Belk Chapel which has been the site of hundreds of weddings, Diana Courtyard which features a bronze statue of its Greek goddess namesake, and the E.H. Little Fine Arts Center which features Dana Auditorium where thousands of performances and lectures have taken place.

The location is great! Just right next to the train station and with the bus interchange you can go to many different locations, including the airports via the airport limousine. Overall its been a good deal, but if you don't mind walking 5 more min, you can get better value for your money in the Hotel New Hankyu ANNEX, which is run by the same company, yet offers rooms that are cleaner, newer and the ANNEX hotel overall is more quiet, not to mention you can safe around 1000 JPY per room. I found the Hotel New Hankyu (not ANNEX) a bit too noisy and I was unlucky with the view and even though it was a non-smoking room, I got a fair dosage of cold smoke thru the aircon system.
Very convenient location right next to Osaka station. I was staying on business and it was a very basic hotel - would recommend more for travellers/backpackers.
This is the best location hotel in Osaka, Hotel located in young fasionable area in Umeda, direct access from Midosuji underground and Hankyu Umeda line which can direct to Kyoto, Nara, Kobe of major sightseeing city 30min. Many nice restaurants in the hotel and outside hotel. Most enjoying things is that Largest electrice depatment store in front of Hotel and fasion department. Nothing
Free bus to station partly compensated for distance. Lounge prices were excessively high: 1300 yen for a cup of coffee (3 times the Starbucks prices), but there is nowhere else to sit to conclude a short business meeting.
Property is nice great staff. Rooms are very small. No air conditioning is a definite minus. 75 degrees outside and only option is to use the heat. Very noisy but hotel staff was accommodating to move room.
how all the staff were willing to help at all hours of the day and their english was superb!
Location is great! Front desk staff always has trouble with reservation. I've stayed here several times and it's always a problem at check-in.
Friendly staff, excellent service, not to expensive, great loacation
Great location for a great hotel Wifi not complimentary. At a rate of $17/day I think it is too expensive...
Friendly staff, great lounge on the 35th with live music.
The location was great and the breakfast was excellent. No free wi-fi, and the fee to conect to the internet was such a rip off!!
concierge is very good no welcome fruits, nobody helping to open heavy entrance door, poor choices for breakfast. At least for New Year they could do something nicer for breakfast.
Excellent service .. I forgot my passport in the safety box They contacted me directly and asked me how do I want to receive it.
Room was nice/clean, great view, connected to main train station. Staff were very helpful (accidentally booked in a smoking room, they found me an alternate, non-smoking room despite being very full).
Nice rooms, strategically located, very convenient and close to everything. None
Hotel staff are well trained and they communciate with each other well. They are efficient and at the same time hospitable. Great location for those travellers, using railway or bus connections to other cities. No individual safe deposit box in room. No business centre facility.
The hotel is in the Osaka railway station which is very comfortable. The shopping center is located around the station. Perfect for a short stay where you have direct access shopping, transportation, restaurants and amusement. The rooms are more spacious than an average business hotel in Japan. I had a nice view from my hotel room. Most rooms are located on 20+ floors. You could hear some street noise from the amusement area, but it was still okay for me.
the comfort of the bed
Location at Osaka JR station very convenient
The location. Close to the train station Had to take smoking section
Located above railway station. Also high enough to keep above city noise so a good sleep.
Location, staff, cleanliness None
The location is really convenient, and there is free internet facility at the hotel room. The room is super small, smallest hotel room I have ever been, lucky it was quiet modern and clean, although I would have preferred Hilton if I knew it was just across the road. Also while there was free Internet, the PC was super slow (My room was AMD 1 Ghz with 512MB memory)..
I planned a last minute trip to Kyoto, Japan. Although, initially I was disappointed that I couldn't stay in Kyoto (the hotels were all filled up), I eneded up being very glad that I stayed at Hotel Monterey, Osaka. The proximity (1/2 block) from the Osaka train station was terrific, and I used this train station as my hub to go to Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe. Also, the trip from the Osaka airport wasn't too bad at all. The thing I liked best about this hotel was how clean it was, and how comfortable the bed was. I don't know if this is common for all hotels in Japan, but I was glad to find these features in Hotel Monterey, Osaka. One thing I didn't like was that the restaurants in the hotel were quite pricey for me, and the hours limited. I also found it very confusing to find the hotel from the train station on the first day I arrived. There is another review that gives specific directions from the train station. I will see if I can find that again and add it onto this post. It's not t...
Clean, convenient, comfortable. Staff were delightful. Easy walk to train station. Room was small but not cramped.
Fantastic location. You follow the tracks toward the Osaka train station, pass an underground shopping area and you are there in less than 5 min. Everything is well maintained, a reasonably-priced French restaurant is next to the reception (8th floor). Nothing really.
A great hotel for a family on a budget. The quality is very high. Rooms are comfortable (but Japanese-cozy sized). The two best features was free internet that worked straightaway, and its location next to the Osaka train station. I give it only fair marks for safety and security because the lobby is on the 8th floor and the elevators are not keyed at the ground floor entrance (although there is door staff at the hotel entrance), and the windows actually open up onto little balconies/platforms that wrap around the building. That said, I never did feel uncomfortable about the arrangements.
Ive stayed at the Ginza location and thought Id give this one a try. They are pretty much identical- clean modern excellent location and courteous staff #40then again it is Japan#41. About 2 min from the subway and 4 from the JR station. From Kansai take JR train to Tennoji and then JR Osaka loop to Kyobashi Station. This took me less than an hour. Most of Osaka is about 10 min by subway from here. There is a well stocked convenience store and coffee shop on the ground floor and a few across the street. Across the street are also a shopping/restaurant complex and the Panasonic headquarters complex which has two floors of excellent restaurants #40catering to workers in the area so its good and fairly priced#41 and of course the cool Panasonic showroom. Another eating option is the Daiei department store next to Kyobashi Station. They have tons of prepared food as well as a big grocery store. As for safety of the area I dont remember seeing homeless people anywhere. And even if I did I a...
The security for each floor. Location was excellent for the trains. Not really. Train noise could bother some people.
the room is clean, the bathroom is correct, the swimming pool and the sana excellent the level of English of the staff !
The service from the staff, their politeness, smile and assistance.
We had a room with a very nice view, having a lavish breakfast .
Location is perfect. 10 min from Osaka Station.
During a one month visit to the Kansai area this was the best hotel I stayed at among several in both Osaka and Kyoto including two 'luxury' hotels. The ANA Crowne knows about balance of service. The entire staff was professional, well organized and provided the smoothest, most comfortable and truly accommodating environment. Everyone knew what they were doing and worked well as an efficient skilled team. I have only praise for this hotel. I travel in Japan often and I plan to make The ANA Crowne my first and probably only choice in Osaka.
Located literally next to Osaka's Sky Tower and rotating garden/restaurant. Not far from Umeda station as well. Hotel is also very nice, but best of all was the service, which was impeccable.
Most of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The bar near the lobby was absolutely great. Bartender was very genuinely kind and knowledgable. lady at check-in office was very curt in her communication (smaller woman with glasses). The hotels restaurant does not offer 24 hour room service, and the hotel does not allow deliveries, so if you find yourself hungry past the kitchen hours, you are screwed. Concierge is off duty after 10pm, so again, any late-night info is non-existent. Location was very far from any nearby attractions, even any row of shops/restaurants.
Ver convenient, quiet, comfortable, pleasant staff
I liked the simple efficiency of this hotel. There were no frills, but I had everything I needed, and it is perfectly situated close to JR Osaka station. Nothing really, although I would have appreciated an English channel on the television.
Location and price. Front desk service was less than desired. Also, at ~8:00 p.m., the front desk failed to answer the phone. Maybe if the phone calls would roll over to the Hotel's operator after, it would help, instead of continually ringing with no one picking it up

ABC's Cuomo Bemoans 'Crashing' of Stock Market – er, 'Legalized Gambling'
"Crashing" stock market? "Legalized gambling"? ABC's "Good Morning America" berated the stock market for trampling on a supposed individual right to a mortgage.
Chris Cuomo's August 13 story on a couple who had their mortgage pulled due the recent "drama on Wall Street" started like this:
"To a certain extent the stock market has always been a form of legalized gambling, where Wall Street tries to cash in on bets made on the right companies. But for many financial institutions, the chips were the mortgages of hard-working American families, in danger of losing their homes, or now never getting a chance to live the American dream."
Cuomo later added that "A slight increase in a rate can be a burden, or it can mean that they literally can not afford to buy a home, and that will be a tragedy that goes far beyond the crashing of the stock market."
"Crashing"? Markets aren't in recession, let alone a crash. Markets are still up for the year thus far. Thursday's triple-digit drop (213 points) came only a few days after a triple-digit increase (476 points from August 6th – August 8th).
Cuomo focused on the story of Gary and Heidi Cecere, who had their mortgage pulled when attempting to purchase a house. Cuomo made it sound as though a mortgage for a home is a God-given right. Cuomo continued playing on viewers' emotions with interviews of the Cecere children lamenting how nice it would have been to "come home to my own room, my own bed, and a big yard." Gary Cecere talked about the grand plans they had for the house:
"We were gonna put a pool … right here … maybe a little front porch."
The Cecere family was trying to purchase a $410,000 dollar home and then add a pool and a front porch. The average price of a home nationwide is $237,900 as of June 2007. While this isn't necessarily indicative of the upstate New York housing market, Cuomo didn't question whether the Cecere family was trying to buy too much house.
Granted this home was a "dream come true," but we rarely, if ever, get our dream house on the first try.

Wonersh History Society
|About Us
Please note this website has moved to www.wonershhistory.co.uk and this old site may no longer be available after July 2017
The late Anthony Fanshawe started researching Wonersh in 1966 the year before he and his wife Valerie moved to the village. He interviewed people living in the village, people who had moved away, visited the Public Records Office and spent twenty four years altogether collecting a vast amount of material on Wonersh. After his sudden death in 1991 Valerie contacted Fraser Scott who came to see Anthony's collection. Fraser decided there and then that a history society should be formed and every house in the village had a leaflet through the door. Doug Sudbury came to see Valerie and suggested that Jean Paul Marix Evans of Great Tangley would probably be interested. Doug visited Jean Paul, he hadn't had a leaflet and Jean Paul came to the inaugural meeting.
Ninety people attended and those willing to serve on the committee were asked to stay behind.
The first committee meeting was held at Woodyers Fraser's home a few evenings later and at the meeting Fraser asked Jean Paul to be Chairman. Later Jean Paul negotiated the supply of a free room for storing the archives at the Seminary. Fraser and Jean Paul cleared Anthony's study and departed with both their cars loaded with books, pictures, maps and papers. A few years later the Seminary authorities asked the Society to move the archive. A permanent home has now been found the collection is being indexed.
The first History Society Committee consisted of:
Valerie Fanshawe, Margaret Garrett, Jake Howard, Cathune Cape (bulletin), Graham Oliver (who wrote the constitution)
Doug remains on the committee to this day
