California University of Pennsylvania will terminate its contract in November with the firm it hired to manage the school's new convocation center because it can no longer afford the cost.
The university will pay the $10,416 basic monthly fee through Nov. 30 to Iowa-based VenuWorks. It also will pay $44,000 to cover severance packages to two of VenuWorks' management-level employees and for terminating the contract early, Cal U. announced Monday in a news release.
"As we examined our budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year, it became clear that Cal U. could not afford to continue paying for VenuWorks' professional services," Cal U. interim President Geraldine M. Jones said.
The termination schedule permits the firm to produce the Nov. 5 performance by John Fogerty at the $59 million, 6,000-seat center.
"Naturally we are disappointed about the university's decision, but we understand why it was made," VenuWorks President Steven L. Peters said in the release.
Cal U. in September fired the executive director VenuWorks assigned to the university at a time when the school's debts were increasing and enrollment was declining. Meanwhile, students at Cal U. have complained about the center offering concert acts that didn't necessarily appeal to younger audiences.
Hired in 2012, VenuWorks has brought to the center Kenny Rogers, Bob Dylan, The Newsboys and the Original Harlem Globetrotters.
The university said it will maintain conference service operations and seek other revenue-generating opportunities for the center.
Cal U. spokeswoman Christine Kindl declined to say Monday whether expenses exceeded revenues at the convocation center during the last fiscal year. She said the university's budget will be discussed at the faculty and staff convocation at 11 a.m. Thursday in Steele Hall.
The university said it had yet to determine the status of a concert in February that is to feature country music singer Justin Moore, the only other performance that has been announced at the convocation center.
The Sept. 19 Pittsburgh Diversity and Leadership Conference featuring Colin Powell will take place as scheduled, Kindl said.

Smith, Ford lead AAA ladies in swimming
Though North Allegheny dominated the girls' competition during the first day of the WPIAL Class AAA swimming championships, the community of Mt. Lebanon celebrated two gold medal winners at the University of Trees Pool.
Leah Smith blew away the competition in the 200-yard freestyle. The Oakland Catholic senior, who resides in Mt. Lebanon, shattered the record she set in 2011.
A Virginia recruit, Smith did not swim scholastically as a junior because she took the year off to train for the Summer Olympics. Smith competed in the United States Olympic Trials but just missed making the national team.
In coasting to the win in the 200, Smith posted a 1:45.81 time, reducing her own record by 1.83 seconds. That mark earned her All-America status and was off the state record by seven-tenths of a second. Meaghan Raab set the state standard last year with a 1:45.10.
Meanwhile, Ford also regained her title. As a freshman she captured the 50-yard freestyle crown. Her personal best-time of 23.42 earned her All-America recognition as well. The mark was one-tenth of a second off the WPIAL record set by Maggie Walker of Peters Township in 2009.
"It was exciting," Ford said of her victory, "but I didn't feel too great because I'm not rested, shaved or tapered. I'm looking to do better at states."
Ford, however, was satisfied with the win and her time.
"The goal was a best time and it was my best time," she explained. "If I won, then I would be happy about it.
At the state meet set for March 14-16 at Bucknell University, Ford would be delighted to break the 23-second barrier.
"Maybe that will be good for first or second, but I'm looking for Top 3 at states," said the junior.
Regardless of that future expectation, Ford's coach, Tom Donati, was pleased with the present result.
"I'm so proud of Katie," he said. "She wanted to win. She missed this the past year. So to win is awesome.
"Katie has worked so hard. She's in a good place right now. I'm happy for her."
The NA girls are in a good place heading into tomorrow's second and final day of competition. The Tigers hold a commanding lead, 253-134, over second-place Oakland Catholic in the team standings.
Other top 10 individual performances from female area swimmers included:
• Lebo's Meghan Schilken, fourth, and Anna McGlade, ninth in the 200 free. Ford, Schilken, McGlade and Veronica Bogdanski finished runner-up to NA in the 200 free relay.
• Bethel Park's Allie Brinkhoff, fourth, and Upper St. Clair's Meg Haggerty, 10th in the 200 IM.
• USC's Victoria Shaffer, seventh, Jessica Reilly, ninth, and Betsy Erlanger, 10th in the 50 free.
• USC's Brittany Dudzinski, sixth, and Gavi Krohner, ninth, in the 100 butterfly.

William W. Reese was born in the house at 765 Duncan Ave., Washington, in 1924, and has lived there all his life. He can remember when the sidewalks were boardwalks and the thick maple tree in the front yard was not much more than a seedling.
And he can remember the day that a fellow named George Montgomery gathered a bunch of kids from the 700 and 800 blocks of Duncan Avenue and took their picture. "I don't know why George took that picture," Reese said, "but I think he might have been an amateur photographer, and he might have been trying out a new camera."
Montgomery gave Reese a copy of the photo, taken around 1937.
"I opened up my paper Monday, and said, 'What?! That's me, and I have that same picture.'"
Fortunately, sometime many years ago, Reese wrote the names of all the children on the back of his copy of the photo.
He said that a few of those pictured who have moved away from the area may still be alive, but as far as he knows, he's the only one who remained here who is living.
Reese is the boy wearing the hat with his nickname on it, made from white tape. "Our house was a meeting place for all the kids. We played ball in the side yard, and hide and seek."
Although Reese and his wife, Ellen, who died in 2002, had planned to have a place of their own, they lived with his parents and cared for them until they passed away and remained there, where they raised their two daughters: Carol Lowery, who now lives in Illinois, and Lynn Bedillion of Washington. Reese was a member of the glass workers' union and worked for Washington Mould and Kelly Industries before retiring in 1989.
Reese said that when he was growing up, the northern part of the city was mainly farmland.
"I used to catch grasshoppers in the field up there where all those new houses are."
Not a great deal has changed physically in the 700 block of Duncan Avenue in all those years.
But what has changed has been witnessed by Reese from his front porch.
"I know everybody," he said. "The front porch is a nice place to live, but people don't do that much anymore. I'm the only one out here."
And he was the only reader to correctly identify this week's Mystery Photo.
Look for another Mystery Photo in next Monday's Observer-Reporter.

If you want to feel intellectually humbled, agree to be a member of a team competing in a trivia competition.
On March 8, 20-plus teams, each with eight members, congregated at Three Rivers Auction in Washington for Washington Rotary Club's annual Charity Trivia Contest. I was the new kid on the block. My teammates were veterans of contests past and were Observer-Reporter employees or spouses of same.
Of course, when I was asked to be a member, my first inclination was to begin pounding as much minutiae as I could into my brain. As the day approached, I felt confident. But as the competition began to unfold, I realized you can't "study" for a trivia competition.
Had they asked how many ridges in a dime?, I would have whispered to my teammates, 118. Had they asked what direction bats turn when exiting a cave? I would have proudly said left. And had they asked who was Thelma Pickles? I would have pumped up my chest and spouted, "John Lennon's first girlfriend."
But no, we, meaning all teams, had to answer questions about the musical "Hair," zombies, acronyms, sports, pirates (not the baseball team), Pennsylvania icons and television. There were a few more categories, but I can't remember them.
Surprisingly, our team did quite well in the zombie category. Why, I don't know, but we did. All I remember about that category was that Francois Duvalier, who liked to be called Papa Doc, was supposed to have commanded an army of zombies, or so he led his people to believe.
We did OK when it came to acronyms, getting 3M (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing); M.A.S.H. (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital); and POTUS (President of the United States). We faltered on HIPAA, mostly because we thought it was HIPPA.
For the record, it stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
Now, when it came to the musical, "Hair," we were hit and miss. I think we got the year when it opened on Broadway correct (1968) and when the nudity appeared (end of first act), and I felt comfortable suggesting the lyric order in the song was "long, straight, curly, fuzzy, snaggy."
We got a couple of questions right about pirates. One well-read member knew Edward Teach was the real name of Blackbeard, and another team member ( I think it was a guess) said the word avast meant "stop."
When it came to television we all knew Milwaukee was the home of "Laverne and Shirley" and "Happy Days" and that Otis was the town drunk in the "Andy Griffith Show."
Our team missed out on which Alou brother of baseball fame was the oldest (it was Felipe) but we knew it took 12 consecutive strikes to bowl a 300 game.
At the end, our team tied for fourth, 18 points behind the winning team and I wasn't sure I would be asked to return next year as a team member. I was assured however, I would, since I knew milk was the official beverage of Pennsylvania.
Oh, by the way, did you know Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance?

Mt. Lebanon considers changing skateboard ordinance
By Eric Seiverling
For The Almanac
Mt. Lebanon residents frustrated with the municipality's ordinance that prohibits skateboarding may soon be able to ride their skateboards throughout Mt Lebanon. At the Feb. 12 meeting, commissioners discussed the possibility of changing the ordinance that bans skateboarding on Mt. Lebanon streets.
The current ordinance states that "no person shall ride a skateboard, coaster, skates or similar device upon any street," and "No person shall ride a motorized scooter upon any sidewalk in the municipality." The new ordinance being discussed would delete both provisions from the Mt. Lebanon Code.
A public hearing for the new ordinance is scheduled at the commission's Feb. 25 meeting.
"We don't allow skateboarding at all in our cultural business district and there isn't any place you can skateboard," municipal manager Stephen Feller said. "Very few citations have ever been written. Police typically warn people."
Mt. Lebanon was considered as the location for Pitcher Park Memorial Skatepark last year, but the park is now being built in Carnegie.
Questions still remain about whether the new ordinance will extend to Mt. Lebanon school properties and parking garages.
According to commissioners, skateboarding will be prohibited in parking garages, and school properties can enforce their own skateboarding policies.
"But, Mt. Lebanon Police can't give tickets on school property," commissioner Dave Brumfield said.

Scott joins Green Tree in Act 32 proceedings
In an 8-0 vote at the March 26 regular meeting, Scott commissioners voted to join Green Tree Borough in its legal proceedings to obtain earned income tax records in accordance with Act 32. Scott agreed to split the legal fees equally, not to exceed 50 hours. Commissioner David Jason was absent, due to illness.
Scott manager Denise Fitzgerald said that she knew of other communities that were also considering joining in the legal action.
Act 32 of 2008, which split Allegheny County into four taxing districts, requires uniform withholding of earned income taxes (EIT) and remittance to a single local collector or Tax Officer.
At the same meeting, Jane Sorcan, Scott Conservancy Treasurer, told the Scott Township commissioners that she would be working with ReEnergize Pgh this year to help residents find ways to reduce their energy usage. Sorcan said she would attend various township events like Safety Day and the municipality's annual July 4th celebration to speak with residents and answer questions. In addition, Sorcan plans to have an energy audit done at her home; residents will be able to attend to see what is done during the audit.
"Reducing energy usage is good for the environment and for the pocketbook," said Sorcan. "It benefits everyone."
According to the gtech website (gtechstrategies.org), "ReEnergize Pgh is a regional sustainable economic development strategy focusing on using residential energy efficiency upgrades on a large scale to improve air quality through decreased energy use and to advance a robust local energy efficiency industry by upgrading clusters of targeted buildings and homes."
In other business, the board:
• Ratified the agreement with Teamsters Local 249 (public works), effective Jan. 1, 2012, and expiring Dec. 31, 2015. The new agreement provides for a three percent wage increase each year. Board president Tom Castello commented that he was "very happy" an agreement had been reached.
• Voted to promote patrolman James Stoker to sergeant, with a one year probation period. Stoker is expected to be sworn in as sergeant at the board's April 9 agenda meeting.
• Voted to appoint Laurie Brant, Andrea Wachter, Mark Moore, Sandra Calgaro, and Louis Calgaro to the Scott Library Board of Directors.
• Voted to reappoint Charles Edeburn, David Seybert, Frank Bruckner, Dan Losego, and Brandon Dukes to the zoning hearing board; Ralph J. Murovich, Mark Mox, John Remensky, Kenneth Lee, and William Quinn to the planning commission; and Michael J. Finnerty to the civil service board.

It is with bemusement and not a little anger that we viewed the antics in the halls of Congress this week. Now that some of the effects of the "sequester" are being felt, especially with airline flight delays and cancellations due to the furlough of air traffic controllers, our senators and representatives have their underwear in a twist.
It is especially galling to hear conservatives, including Pennsylvania's own Sen. Pat Toomey – the ones who insisted that the only way to rise out of the Great Recession was to cut, cut, cut spending – complaining about government spending cuts.
In order to comply with the mandatory 10-percent reduction, the Federal Aviation Administration must furlough all of its 47,000 employees, including its 15,000 controllers. Each employee is losing one day of work every other week. As a result, the number of flight delays at New York's LaGuardia Airport, for example, increased to 20 percent Monday from 2 percent the previous Monday.
Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell claimed the administration's "poor planning" and "political motives" have left travelers "stuck on tarmacs." Toomey called the cutbacks "utterly unnecessary." They claim the FAA could make the cuts in other spending rather than furloughing their employees.
We guess that neither of the senators has much experience at running a business. Otherwise, they would know that the only way to make such a drastic, unbudgeted reduction in spending is to reduce payroll. Anyone who has ever run a business and has survived the shifting winds of the economy knows this.
There are very few people on Capitol Hill or in the White House who are blameless for this mess. The sequester, which was President Obama's idea, was meant to be so frighteningly inflexible that there would be no way that it would ever be allowed to take effect. Somehow, Washington would come up with a way to reduce spending and raise revenue before the deadline. Pretty much everyone agreed to it. And, of course, nothing was done. So here we are.
Congress could end the sequester and put furloughed controllers back in their towers, at any time, by coming to an agreement to do so. It's obvious, though, that its members are more interested in pointing fingers and political gamesmanship.
If you're planning on flying anywhere this year, plan on arriving late.

This in response to the letter, "Drilling, fracking not safe" in the Feb. 1 edition of the Observer-Reporter. The writer of the letter, Candy DeBerry, stated a wealth of facts that immediately brought one saying to mind: "Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones."
I would say that 99.9 percent of the human race is bad for the environment. Things that make our everyday existence easier are bad for the environment.
DeBerry was responding to a Jan. 23 letter, which means she read it. The paper is made from trees. Deforestation destroys the environment, which aids in reducing greenhouse gases emitted into the environment. The trees are taken down by heavy equipment, which emits noise pollution and air pollution, not to mention displacing millions of species of animals or, in some instances, making them extinct.
The rigs that transport the logs to a mill are no exception. The mill processes these logs into paper, which is then transported for various uses, including your daily newspaper. The press that makes the paper, along with the mill, expel greenhouse gases. The trucks that transport the newspaper to the store where you buy it or the news carrier who drives to your front door emit chemicals dangerous to the environment. Just to get up many of the roads this time of year requires salt to deliver the paper. The road is made of tar which is an oil by-product. Both salt and the roads are destroying and polluting our environment, not to mention the trucks used in both procedures.
The Internet uses electricity to power it, which emits more greenhouse gases, and is constructed with plastic and metals, which are poisoning and contaminating our environment when thrown in the garbage. So does that television set, cellphone, computer, lighting and heater that you use every day, all in the name of convenience.
The garbage that you put on the curb every week goes to a landfill where it adds to pollution. I understand that Waste Management filters out up to 93 percent of the recyclables to reuse, but it still leaves 7 percent of your garbage to be detrimental to the environment. Those plastic containers you throw away take thousands of years to dissolve.
Fracking may not be 100 percent foolproof, but natural gas is a lot better for the environment than coal or gasoline or oil as an energy source. It's also cleaner and cheaper. It's also produced here, which means many new job opportunities. It brings much-needed income to municipalities and gives an economic boost to an area of the United States that has needed one desperately since the death of the steel industry.
The moral of my story is if DeBerry is looking to place blame for the destruction of the environment, then she need not look any further than the nearest mirror. Placing all this blame on fracking is like the pot calling the kettle black.

- Decorative
- Bottom Prongs Too Short
- Not stable in wind
- Pole Sways In Wind
- Pole Too Long
Best Uses
- Make Pole Shorter
I would cut the bottom prongs off and shorten pole to avoid swaying in the wind
I suppose for the money I got what I expected. However, when it was packaged for delivery someone had pushed down on the packing material and bent it in 2 places. As always though, Gardener Supply credited me for sending it back. I am always happy with the way they take care of a problem and that is why I never go wrong at least trying a product.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Because of all the negative reviews, I almost didn't buy this, but decided to give it a try. It is the middle of winter and the ground is frozen, so I haven't had a chance to try it. I am going to wrap a heavy rubberband around the tube to keep it from falling thru the holder, even tho it seems like it would be ok w/o it.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Whimsical
- Flimsy
- Poor Design
Best Uses
- Garden accent
I like the copper snail, but the ring that holds the rain gauge is slightly bent towards the post and the rain gauge tilts when the post is straight. I can't seem to make any adjustments that will correct the problem- disappointing for the price.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Inaccurate
Best Uses
The calibrations on this rain gauge are not accurate. The snail is cute and it makes a nice piece of garden art.
- Accurate Measure Of Rain

- Needs repositioning
- Sits Off Center
Best Uses
- Rain Measurement
Now I am able to measure rainfall easily and in close proximity of my outside path. It looks so cute in the front flower bed! The only recommendation would be for slightly longer ground pins as it occasionally requires repositioning to center upright.
- Unusual Useful
- none
Best Uses
- Measuring Rain
Easy to use, good size container and I LOVE that I can buy replacement containers (my husband has a way of breaking them)
The first time I received this item it was broken in 3 places. I called and the representative was very nice and said it would be replaced. I told her that the vile that held the water was way to small for the ring and it fell through. I was told they would make sure the replacement was ok. It wasn't and the ring holder was even bigger, not to mention that this item is poorly made. I'm not happy with it and it was suppose to be a gift. I have never had this trouble with any other item I have received either as a gift or purchased myself. This item just does not have it.
I love the attractive design of this rain gauge, which should fit in well in any garden. The only problem is, I had to glue down the glass rain measurer to avoid it breaking by falling out when the wind blows. I live near a canyon, but for most people in less windy areas, everything should work fine.
- Cute But Poor Quality
- Not sturdy at all
- Water Tube Would Fall Out
Best Uses
We like to measure rainfall amounts but this one definitely would not last long or measure accurately!

One thing about old George is that I am full of advice, even if I fail to follow it myself.
I have no idea what tomorrow's weather will be as I write this. Even the weathermen are lucky if they predict it right half the time over the coming 24 hours. With that in mind, I feel one should be prepared for the worst hunting conditions of all: rain. It seemed that years ago, deer season always began with snow on the ground and temperatures dipping below 30 degrees. Today, snow is seldom in the forecast. I hate to hunt in the rain but rainy days the first week of the season is common.
If it rains, there are a few things a hunter might need to be successful and, if possible, comfortable. Lens caps are a no-brainer because it's hard to see through a water-spotted scope sight. Even if the forecast is favorable, the lens cap does little good if left at home. They need to be with the hunters.
An orange raincoat or poncho is also needed. But if the poncho is cammo or some other color, an orange vest worn over it works well.
A hat that not only keeps the head and ears warm but keeps the water from dripping down one's neck helps. A lot of tissue will be necessary so you can clean various glass lenses often, but they need to be kept dry. So carry them in plastic sandwich bags.
Much the same can be said about sandwiches and candy.
Another thing you want to avoid is water running down the bore of the rifle. It can come from snow or rain and can be kept out be using a piece of plastic wrap secured by a rubber band. Don't forget to carry a spare rubber band and piece of wrap.
Maybe it won't rain. If the warm dew is kissing the morning grass, there are items that can be needed during the course of the first day. If you are leaving for the mountains today, better take a compass or Global Positioning System. Nothing ruins a hunt like being lost or confused.
Knife and drag rope are necessities, unless you are a total pessimist. If a hunter intends to stay in a stand, lunch and the thermos help. Today's regulation binoculars are not a luxury but a necessity. I don't know how one can count points without them. Waving a loaded rifle around to check things out hardly seems appropriate and that's what happens when you depend on the sight for viewing.
Long ago, I wrote a column for a magazine, "Patience, Confidence, Perseverance." I still believe all three are required for a successful hunt.
With perseverance, the hunter will be in the woods. No deer are taken when the hunter is sitting in the living room. The person who spends 10 hours in the outdoors has a better chance of scoring than the one who spends four or five.
A hunter who fidgets has less chance than a patient hunter. It is confidence that leads to the two 'Ps'.
I don't ask myself before picking up my rifle and ammo whether I will see a buck but where and under what conditions I will see a buck. I might not get a shot or I might miss, but I know I will see one. That is what keeps me in the field under any conditions.
My age might slow me down a bit but I used to say that even if cow manure would fall from the sky, I would still be out hunting on the first day of buck season.
Regardless of the weather, I look forward to a better-than-average deer season. I have seen many good bucks in my travels and an even more impressive number of deer in general. On the downside, development has cut into the amount of huntable land. Whether it's for stores or housing, a boon like that is a detriment to deer hunters. That can't be changed, and it can only get worse in the future.
So enjoy the hunting we have while you can. I intend to do the same.

Washington City Council is examining its options on how to respond to a recent move by Millcraft Industries that seemingly is in retaliation for the city's rejection of its request for an amended tax increment financing plan.
It was reported last week that Millcraft decided not to renew leases for 13 parking spaces in the garage adjacent to Crossroads Center.
Instead, Millcraft employees who work at the center that serves as the development company's headquarters are parking their vehicles in a small semi-paved lot along Beau Street. The lot, according to council, was never intended nor approved to serve as a parking area.
"I talked with Lucas (Piatt), and he said the company was going through tough times and they were trying to make cuts," Tom Kearns, city parking authority director, told council Monday night at its agenda meeting. Neither Piatt, chief operating officer for Millcraft, nor Brian Walker, chief executive officer, returned calls seeking comment.
While Kearns said the parking authority should be able to recoup the $7,000 loss in revenue, Councilman Terry Faust asked city solicitor Lane Turturice to check out the legalities of the lot, especially how it relates to a city ordinance regarding parking lots.
Turturice said he doubts the lot would fall under the city's moratorium on new "for-profit" lots, but it may not meet city zoning requirements and would need a conditional use permit.
Council also is trying to determine what the lot was originally intended to be used for as no members could remember it previously being used for parking. Certain council members, however, believe it was to be site the of a 500-seat public amphitheater that Millcraft proposed building as part of the Crossroads Center project in 2004. The amphitheater was eventually scrapped, although it was still included in the project as late as 2008.
Millcraft did not renew its leases with the city garage about a month after council voted not to honor Millcraft's request to amend the tax increment financing plan for the center.
Millcraft had requested the amended TIF proposal to enable it to refinance its bond and continue to keep the building open for business. It wanted to extend the original 15-year TIF until 2024 so it could refinance and have more time to attract new tenants.
When the original TIF was approved in 2004 by the city, Washington School District and the county, 80 percent of the new tax revenue that was paid on the Crossroads project went toward the construction of the adjacent parking garage, while the remainder of the TIF payment was split among the taxing bodies.
The TIF paved the way for the new commercial development that includes the $15 million office building and the construction of the garage.
A TIF allows the government to borrow money for infrastructure development such as roads and storm sewers, then pay off the debt using new tax revenue created by the project.
The 160,000-square-foot Crossroads building became the headquarters for title insurer LandAmerica and 350 employees. But with the economic downturn, the company abandoned the building, leaving a mostly empty structure.
Since LandAmerica left, the city has been responsible for the cost of the parking garage, which has been underused.

Police: Venetia man killed after attacking Bethel Park business owners
Police: Moore assaulted pair at Bethel Park shop before being killed
Investigators are trying to determine what prompted a Venetia man to attack two people at a Bethel Park business on April 27 before one of them shot him to death.
Andrew M. Moore, 31, died at the scene from his injuries about noon, according to the Allegheny County medical examiner's office.
Bethel Park police Sgt. Rob Stiglich said Moore entered Armen's House of Music at 5920 Library Road before leaving a few minutes later. When he returned shortly before noon, Moore was carrying a blunt instrument and attacked the business owner's wife, Stiglich said.
When he then tried to stab or slash the business owner with a sharp object, the owner shot Moore with a handgun, police said. Moore died at the scene before police arrived, Stiglich said.
"From what we gather, (the business owner) was defending himself and his wife," Stiglich said.
They suffered unspecified injuries and were taken to a Pittsburgh area hospital for treatment, police said. Their conditions have not yet been released, but police expected them to recover.
Investigators are not sure what prompted the attack, but do not think robbery was a motive. The business owners told police they had never met Moore before he entered their shop Saturday morning. No one else was inside the shop at the time of the attack.
An autopsy on Moore was planned for Monday morning. Police said they want to conduct toxicology tests to see if drugs or alcohol played a factor in the attack.
Allegheny County homicide detectives are assisting Bethel Park police with the investigation.

A few modest changes were made to 1978 Ford Mustang parts, including a standard electronic voltage regulator and variable ratio gearing (for models with the optional power steering). A new Fashion Accessory package upgrade to 78 Mustang parts in the standard notchback was added to appeal to women buyers.

It also was the only Mustang II package with performance 1978 Mustang parts, including the 302 V8, handling suspension, and Goodrich tires.
A few other changes for the 1978 Mustang included "Wilshire" cloth seating in the Ghia trim and the addition of a Rallye Package. The Rallye Package in the 1978 Mustang included numerous handling upgrades, plus some appearance changes, like color coordinated cloth seats.

Cosmetics: make sure to read labels
Better-for-you makeup and skin care products seem to be found everywhere, but just because something claims to be good for you on the label isn't always the case. Recently, the Go Green Club at Peters Township Library presented a program called "Choosing Your Best Natural Cosmetics and Skin Products." The Feb. 23 talk was headed by Go Green Club member and retired science teacher Pam Kuhn.
Kuhn told the crowd of nearly 20 women that an average American can have as many as 400 chemicals in their bodies.
"Some get washed out, but some don't break down," Kuhn said, adding the ones that don't break down can sometimes lead to illness.
"We do have control over the personal care products we buy," Kuhn said. The average woman uses about 12 personal care or makeup products each day. The average man uses about six, and teen girls can use up to 17 per day. She said that unlike food and drugs, the manufacturers of personal care products are not regulated by the federal government. Kuhn added that while a product may say "natural" on the label, there are no guidelines that define what that term actually means.
Some personal care products, like makeup and lotions, can contain chemicals that are absorbed into the skin. Products like hairspray can also give off vapors that may contain harmful chemicals. Kuhn said products can contain neurotoxins, which can damage the brain and nervous system, hormone disruptors, carcinogens and teratogens, which are chemicals that can cause birth defects.
Kuhn said the folks most vulnerable to the effects of the chemicals are babies, teens and seniors. Many of the chemicals are biocumulative, which Kuhn said means that, "Every day we are using those things, they get absorbed." She added that while some chemicals may not be harmful on their own, when they are combined with other chemicals, they could be harmful.
"Everyone is different to how we react to the chemicals," Kuhn said.
According to www.safecosmetics.org, there are nine chemicals of concern which are: triclosan, formaldehyde, hydroquinone, parabens, nitrosamines, synthetic musks, 1.4-dioxane, phthalates and lead. Kuhn added that lead can be found in some brands of red lipstick.
Kuhn said personal care product manufacturers must list all the ingredients used in the product. She said to look at the label and start at the end and try to avoid products containing parabens, DMDM hydantoin, Imidazolidinyl urea, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Triclosan, Triclocarban and Triethanolamine (or "TEA").
Also, Kuhn added that "fragrance" can contain as many as 200 chemicals and manufacturers are not required to list all of those chemicals.
After the presentation, Kuhn pulled up the Environmental Working Group's website and folks attending had the opportunity to look up some of the products they use every day to see how harmful they ranked.
To research personal care products, Kuhn recommended visiting www.ewg.org and then clicking on the link for EWG's Skin Deep Guide to Cosmetics.

SuspensionThe Mustang Suspension is an important system that protects you and your passengers from a painful ride down the road since you would otherwise be feeling each and every bump in the road. The Mustang suspension also protects many of the Mustang engine components in your Mustang, since they would otherwise be bounced around a lot without a Mustang suspension to protect them, and many would be unable to survive the bouncing. Needless to say, your Mustang suspension is a very important system, and one that you want to make sure is always working its best.
Here's just a few of the benefits of an upgraded Mustang suspension system:
- Higher quality, more reliable parts
- Better look
- Safety
- Ability to tailor the suspension to the purpose of your Mustang (racing, street, etc.)
Another possibility to consider with a Mustang suspension upgrade is the style it can give your Mustang. Lowering your Mustang is an option that many pursue, not just because of the benefits it gives you, but because of the great look of a lowered Mustang. CJ Pony Parts offers many lowering spring kits for the Mustang suspensions of just about any Mustang on the road. Browse CJ's inventory and find the lowering kit that has the ride height and performance characteristics you're looking for and make your order today.
CJ Pony Parts sells hundreds of Mustang suspension parts, and these Mustang suspension components are available for any Mustang. From 1964-2017, CJ Pony Parts has bumpsteer kits, Mustang springs, both front and rear control arms, sway bars, plus full Mustang suspension kits and many other components to help owners upgrade or maintain their Mustang suspension. Many of these parts feature CJ's install videos, where Bill Tumas shows you exactly how to install the part on your Mustang. Many other Mustang suspension parts have customer installs and manufacturer instructions available online, and many also feature free, same day shipping from CJ Pony Parts. Order online via CJ's easy to use and secure website, or give the CJ Pony Parts sales team a call.

A mediator attempting to negotiate a settlement in a legal dispute involving restoration of the dam at Ryerson Station State Park will hold a public meeting to hear from the community about the loss of the use of Duke Lake and proposed dam restoration plans.
Thomas A. Rutter, a private mediator employed by parties to the case, will receive oral and written comments regarding the lake and park from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 26 at the Stover Campus Center and Alumni Hall at Waynesburg University.
Duke Lake was drained in July 2005 after cracks were observed in the lake's 45-year-old concrete dam. A month later, part of the spillway was removed to prevent water from backing up in the lake bed during heavy rains.
The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources subsequently filed a claim against Consol Energy Inc. and its subsidiary, Consol Pennsylvania Coal Co. LLC, suggesting the damage was caused by the company's Bailey Mine, which was longwall mining in the area.
The claim was filed with the state Department of Environmental Protection, which investigated and determined the damage was caused by mining conducted by the Bailey Mine. It ordered the company to restore the dam.
Consol, which denies its mining activities caused the damage, appealed DEP's decision to the state Environmental Hearing Board.
The matter remains under litigation and is scheduled for trial in May. However, parties to the case also agreed to attempt to mediate a settlement, said attorney Stewart Cohen, special counsel for DCNR.
Cohen said he could not discuss the litigation or mediation and could only address the notice that will be published regarding the mediator's public comment session. The notice also specifically states Rutter and parties to the case will be unable to discuss the status or details regarding the litigation or negotiations.
"The parties have agreed to mediate to see if a settlement can be reached," Cohen said. It is the intent of all parties that Rutter listen to what people in the community have to say about the matter.
Rutter will hear comments regarding the loss of use of the lake, the proposed restoration plans and any future concerns they might have regarding the park, he said. The information may be used by Rutter to help him mediate the dispute.
It is expected all parties to the case, DCNR, DEP, Consol and the Center for Coalfield Justice, which was granted intervenor status, will attend the comment session.
DCNR has been developing plans to rebuild the dam and in May submitted a permit application for the project to DEP's Dam Safety Division.
The proposed design calls for construction of a concrete dam, similar to the existing dam, with a more up-to-date spillway and safety measures. It will be built at the same location as the existing dam.
An application for the project filed with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also indicates sediment in the former lake bed will be removed as part of the project. In June, a DCNR spokeswoman said that no timetable had been established on the dam's replacement.
According to a public notice on the comment session, those who would like to arrange a time to present comments during this public session should contact Margaret Rheinstadter, administrative assistant, Cohen, Placitella & Roth PC, by calling 888-375-7600 toll free, or by emailing email@example.com.

Witness after witness testified in a Washington County courtroom Thursday that a sexual encounter with a teacher transformed an energetic, outgoing high school student into a suicidal youngster who was ridiculed by classmates and shunned by those she thought were her friends.
The victim, now 16, with her mother standing nearby, told Judge John DiSalle, "I didn't ask for this. I couldn't escape the flashbacks. I was unable to sleep because of nightmares. I will never be the same again."
DiSalle sentenced Jeffrey A. Hahn Jr., 24, to 4 to 8 years' imprisonment followed by a decade of state-supervised probation.
Charleroi Area School District hired Hahn, a seventh-grade social studies teacher in Bethlehem-Center School District, to produce the junior-senior high school's March 2012 musical, "Back to the 80s."
Hahn, formerly of Belle Vernon, was arrested in July on a host of sex charges. In their criminal complaint, Charleroi police alleged that Hahn started sending text messages to the victim the day the production closed. Two days later, they pledged their love for each other, and two months later, he had sex with the girl in the basement of the school auditorium.
In December, Hahn pleaded guilty to felony charges of sexual assault, corrupting a minor and institutional sexual assault. In an unusual move, Hahn pleaded guilty to an additional charge, statutory sexual assault, at his sentencing.
Traci McDonald, deputy district attorney of the special victims unit, said the guilty plea to the fourth charge was added because of "additional disclosures by the minor victim."
After telling Hahn, "You have betrayed your family," DiSalle handed down his sentence. The judge forbade Hahn to have any contact with the victim or minors.
Hahn's attorney, former Washington County District Attorney Steven Toprani, in a document filed with the court, said the maximum sentence on the three counts could have been up to 51 years in prison.
The Pennsylvania Sexual Offender Assessment Board determined Hahn is not a sexually violent offender, but he nonetheless will be subjected to lifetime reporting requirements under Megan's Law.
Although Toprani noted that Hahn's guilty plea meant the victim would not be subjected to questioning at a criminal trial, those who addressed the court told of the terrible toll the assault took on the girl and her family.
The girl's father choked back tears as he told of his daughter enrolling in cyberschool but still taking two classes at Charleroi high school.
"She was an outsider in her own school," he said. "Her whole world was turned upside-down."
The victim's father said of Hahn, "He has been free for the past 10 months while (my daughter) has been imprisoned by judgment and ridicule."
Her mother told the court, "It would probably be easier to for me to tell you what part of her life has not been affected." She said the family is disappointed with the sentence but would accept the court's decision.
"How long will the rippling effect of Jeffrey Hahn's actions last?" the girl's grandmother asked.
Two Charleroi High School teachers and the victim's cousin also told of her struggles.
When Hahn, of Allison Park, Allegheny County, stood to read a statement, the victim and her parents walked out of the courtroom. They were absent when he said, "She put her confidence in me, and I shattered it. I apologize for the pain and embarrassment I caused."
He attributed his actions to a "lapse of judgment" and said, "I know I am not, nor will I ever be, a predator or a pedophile."
The three returned to the courtroom after Hahn had concluded.
Hahn resigned voluntarily and surrendered his teaching certificate. In his letter of resignation to Beth-Center last month, he apologized and accepted full responsibility for "distress I may have caused the school district."
Repercussions of the encounter were also evident in the case of a former Charleroi Area High School teacher who was placed on 12 months of court supervision for failing to report the student was having sex with Hahn.
Jennifer M. Joyce, 27, of 104 Reed Ave., Apt. 8, Bellevue, appeared in January before DiSalle and was admitted to the county's Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition program for first offenders on the charge of failing to report suspected child abuse.
According to court records, Joyce knew about the relationship between the student and Hahn because the teen told her, court records indicate.
If Joyce successfully completes the program, she can petition the court to have her record expunged. She is no longer with the school district.

We've seen some insane leaps of realism in 3d games in the past few years. IMO the biggest breakthrough in recent times for 3D-Hardware is programmable-shading & for 3D Engines it is Real-time Lighting/Shadows.
We've seen Doom3 and the mind-blowing Unreal3 Engine. Normal, Displacement & Parallax mapping, soft-shadows, spherical harmonics, HDR & what not?
What do you guys think is the next big thing in 3d hardware & engines.
Apart from more & more GPU horse-power, longer & complex shaders, what kind of hardware capabilities do you guys wish for ?
If u were to design a 3D-Engine that gives Unreal3 a run for it's money, what techniques would you incorporate (assuming you got the hardware powerful enough)
Peace.... XOR-cist
The ability to store arbitrary data on the graphics card and read/write it in shaders using some kind of generalized data stream. This would open up possibilities for GPU-dynamic simulations of water waves, particle systems, other things that can currently only be done in a limited and hacky way, and only on cards that have vertex shader texture lookups.
Dedicated ray tracing hardware.

AFAIK Unreal 3 isn't due to be out for another 2 years because it simply won't run acceptably on current consumer hardware, so it's not exactly a good example to take when looking at "recent" graphics developments. That's what you should be looking at for future developments .

To Baldurk : It is true that games using Unreal3 aint gonna be nowhere for the next 2 years, but, we've seen that engine in action. NV40 can run it but not exactly real-time. We all knew about Doom3 engine long time back. The tech was there since years. But, the game came out just a few months back.
What i wanted to know is the Ultimate Next Gen thing in Hardware & software . May be we might be re-writing our engines for hardware that does not do Rasterization at all. Like the Real-Time ray tracer NomadRock & Anubis were talking about http://www.saarcor.de
(btw, I am getting into a project to develop an FPS using Unreal3 engine. We're gonna get that baby in our hands pretty soon. Boy, I cant want to see that beast in action & code for it. :rolleyes: )
You don't need to wait for Unreal 3 to see exactly the same technology used in games. The technology they have is trivial to implement, but it's not trivial to implement so that it runs fast, which is essential in games.
If you ask me now, I would say that the next big leap (similar to normal mapping) is this time in geometry side, to increase the geometrical complexity in games. Anyway, if you ask me tomorrow, I may have already changed my mind
Cheers, Altair
Maybe the ability to generate *extra* vertices from inside the programmable pipeline is going to come next?

Yes, dynamic tesselation is definitely on its way. Very useful stuff
In my opinnion, the next big thing in relation to computer graphics, will be real time. inter active, global illumination. Sure Unreal Engine 3 has spherical harmonics for global illumination, but it's rather limited in what it can simulate, and it is only real time for static objects.
So in my opinnion, real time, inter active, global illumination will be the next 'big' thing in relation to computer graphics; or atleast i hope so
If we are going as far as realtime GI, then I would say the next step is total photon simulation. A scene is "rendered" by a server that constantly bounces photons around, and each client need only record the photons that hit their "film". In this way we get very scaleable network games. This of course would require the sending of each frame over the network so the client would not need much of a rendering card at all, but it would scale well with the number of viewers. Also, quit using polygonal rendering entirely, and specify everything in molecules. This of course requires entirely different modeling techniques, and most likely they would be a combination of evolutionary techniques combined with realistic techniques. IE if you wanted a monster, you might start with your monster catalog and breed selecting for the large horns and lighter green skin tone you are looking for. One could start with a carving tool to literally shave away material from a block of simulated stone or whatnot.
Of course this is not the _next step_ but it will forever be my rendering goal.
NomadRock, that sounds dangerous. What if they escape? huh? huh? What then?
one of the next big things will be the moment when people officially realise no mather how much shaders you put on something, there is still no way to have a nice dynamic realistic scene all in all. the fact, that rastericers simply don't scale in any form well to global illumination (wich would solve all the problems we have today..).
this will be the moment where some raytracing hardware has to prove it's power. we'll see when that moment comes, and if the hw will be ready.
i definitely hope so.
Ray tracing doesnt help much in terms of global illumination as opposed to rasterisation. you still have the same limitations, it's just 'easier' in ray tracing as you have most of the information you need already processed on a per fragment level.
Oh, and it is currently possible to do real time photon mapping (note i did not say interactive), however the lighting may take a few seconds to catch upto the current state of everything... eg: shadows lagging (this can be a matter of seconds!) behind the object... it all just depends on the photon map density... but anyway, that's another story for another day
P.S. IMO, the only advantage to ray tracing is pixel-perfect rendering of mathematically reprasentable objects (eg: spheres, quadrics, super quadrics [see dev shot], etc...)
uhm, every full gi solution uses raytracing as backend, photon mapping as well. (radiosity is no full solution).
and that hw realtime photonmapper is full raytracer in shaders, nothing else. you don't know much about realistic image synthesis, and gi, it seems....
with rastericers you have one gi limitation: it's virtually impossible (except you emulate raytracing logic).
with raytracing you have no limitation.
Games will not see a major benifit in the next generation of graphics technology.
Sure, there will be advancements that games can take advantage of. Most likely these will be dynamic tesselation and the unification of pixel and vertex shaders.
The real advancement for graphics technology will come in a different form this time around. We will see generalization of the GPU to the point of being used for generic stream processing, GPU multitasking/threading, and a major change in the way applications interface with this hardware.
Microsoft has discussed Direct3D's future movements towards "Windows Graphics Foundations" which will mean the GPU will become a common application resource used by multiple applications simultaniously. Widespread presence of PCI express will mean new possibilities in real time rendering, but it will mainly enable superior usage of available ram for graphical user interfaces.
Microsoft need to catch up to Apple and their Quartz rendering engine. Microsoft wants to do it better than them and will use DirectX development to drive ATI and nVidia development to enable superior looking desktop applications.
the most interesting thing to me in some sort will be the ability to multitask on gpu. that means, different rendering "threads", and not only one big render-queue like today..
so you can render at say 25fps onto a tv-texture, but still render the game at fastest possible (rest-)speed. etc..
we will see that. automatic scheduling and dispatching of tasks over the different general purpose pipelines. will be fun
davepermen, it seems you've misunderstood what i said.
What i meant is that in terms of rendering, ray tracing does not give you much of an advantage when dealing with global illumination, as opposed to polygon rasterisation. And i'm well aware that 'most' full gi implementations rely on ray tracing.
I don't think there'll be dedicated raytracing HW that would replace current rasterizing HW, but that existing rasterizing HW will simply evolve to the generalized point, which allows natural computational assistance for instance for full scene raytracing (we have seen raytracing done in special cases with current rasterized HW already). There was also some paper about using GPU for photonmapping. We got now floating point textures, longer shaders, dynamic branching, etc. which makes the rasterizing HW much more general purpose than what it used to be in sm1.1 days.
Forget raytracing!
Real-time REYES rasterization!!! Probably easier to accomplish.
Reading this, I started thinking of how making use of advanced graphics will help applications be more useful and productive, rather than just making hardware upgrades faster.
I suppose with GPU utilisation, we can have true zooming interfaces and more 3d hints like shadows which help usability. Any other ideas? I for one want a particle engine in my wordprocessor so when I hit the delete key, the whole freaking world knows what happened to that letter

Getting Victorious in the Garden
Posted December 20, 2013
How much do you know about the history of the victory garden? The tradition started in the First World War, when the governments of US and Britain encouraged individual residents to start their own small gardens to do their bit in the war, and it carried on through the Second World War, when the victory garden trend exploded in a major way. (Right down to sneering at Hitler and building victory gardens in London's bomb craters!)
The purpose of victory gardens was twofold: practical and morale-based.
For practical reasons, the government needed to relieve the strain on the food supply, in addition to facing up to the very real fact that it wasn't able to meet the dietary needs of the population. Food security was a significant problem with many farmers and their personnel away at the front, leaving limited staff available to produce food (hence the Land Girls of Britain, for example, sent as relief workers to farms). By encouraging people to grow their own fruits and vegetables, and modeling the trend with gardens in public parks and at public buildings, the government pushed residents toward food independence and security.
In terms of morale, victory gardens were a way of allowing people to feel like they were participating in an all-consuming, terrifying war that often felt out of control. By growing their own food, people could strike a blow against the enemy, contributing their work to the war effort (many were also, of course, working in wartime factory jobs and other military support positions) and empowering themselves by growing their own produce.
While many people stopped gardening at home after the war, some kept right on going, even in the heart of New York's concrete jungle: and now, growing crops at home is getting popular again, reviving interest in victory gardens, even if we don't necessary call them that. In a way, though, that's exactly what they are, although they represent victory of a different nature. Today, gardeners are fighting industrial agriculture and growing practices they deem unsustainable by producing crops at home for local, sustainable, organic, produce grown in methods they can control.
In fact, a handful of public victory gardens from the war era remain, and the long-running PBS series The Victory Garden is still going strong. All the more reason to start one of your own, if you haven't already, and as in the wartime era, you can embrace the space you have available with intensive gardening to produce a surprisingly large amount of produce.
Why join the movement? Well, for one thing, producing your own crops is satisfying in a way many people don't expect until they actually do it. Being able to walk out the door (or lean out the window) and pick your own lettuce sounds gratifying, but the act of doing so carries new weight. That produce also has a taste that feels fresher and better; sensitive crops like lettuce, for example, can burst with new flavor when they're fresh.
Growing a victory garden also allows you to work with cultivars that don't thrive under industrial or even small farm planting, for a variety of reasons. They may be sensitive, finicky, too hard to harvest, or too unreliable, but they could work just fine in your garden. That means you could have a chance to eat unusually flavored, textured, and colored cultivars that might just expand your culinary world.
You'll save money, naturally, although the startup costs can be high if you're buying containers, soil, fencing, and other materials. You may want to work with local services that provide help to people just starting out with gardening, and don't be afraid to get creative when it comes to planters and supplies.
Finally, you'll also have a great family and learning experience. Gardening connects people with the source of their food and helps them value food supplies more fully, making it a great experience for children (and adults!). You'll be passing on new values about food, nature, and society to the next generation, which can be a pretty great feeling.

DA: McMurray man will not be charged in 2010 fatal crash
A McMurray man will not be charged in connection with a four-vehicle crash in Peters Township that killed a Canonsburg teen in 2010 unless new evidence surfaces.
"Right now, the evidence that I've seen so far doesn't support criminal charges against the driver," Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone said Feb. 12.
Vittone explained that evidence shows Thomas B. McNary of Boyer Road, who is diabetic, had suffered a medical condition brought on by low blood sugar when he crashed his sport utility vehicle into a car July 17, 2010, near the intersection of West McMurray Road and Route 19.
The impact caused a chain-reaction collision injuring seven people and resulting in the death of 18-year-old Adah "Adair" Porter.
The 2010 Canon-McMillan graduate was a passenger in a car driven by her fiancé, Teddy Mathis III of Canonsburg. Mathis was the last in a line of four eastbound vehicles that had stopped for a traffic signal when McNary, who was 54 years old at the time of the crash, struck his car in the rear.
After the crash, McNary, who was not injured, left the scene and continued across Route 19 to East McMurray Road, driving about a half-mile before striking the rear of a pickup truck. Police said he left his vehicle and continued to walk east before being apprehended.
First Assistant District Attorney Michael Lucas explained that prosecutors have been unable to determine whether McNary knew enough about his condition to have questioned if he should have been behind the wheel. He said his office could re-examine the matter within the five-year statute of limitation if a lead develops that runs contrary to the current evidence.
Porter's mother, Cynthia Porter Wright of South Park, said Feb. 12 that there are inconsistencies in McNary's statements to law enforcement. She said she feels that neither former District Attorney Steve Toprani nor Vittone had given the matter a thorough review.
"I didn't really feel like my daughter got a fair chance," Porter Wright said.
Mathis declined to comment when reached by phone.
While criminal charges have not arisen, the family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit claiming McNary was negligent in failing to monitor his blood-sugar level before operating a vehicle. The suit is seeking punitive and compensatory damages.

Telescope Control
Daggerstab (Talk | contribs)
m (Reverted edits by Alicethomas (talk) to last revision by Daggerstab)
|(One intermediate revision by one user not shown)
Revision as of 03:52, 5 July 2012
As of version 0.10.4, Stellarium offers two ways to control a computerized telescope or telescope mount:
- the old client-server model: Stellarium acts as a "client" to a small stand-alone program (a "telescope server") that drives the telescope. This method requires editing Stellarium's configuration file and running console applications, so it is not very user-friendly.
- This is the only option (for now) to command a telescope using the Remote Telescope System v.2 protocol on Linux.
- The old built-in client module is not loaded if the Telescope Control plug-in is loaded.
- the Telescope Control plug-in (included since 0.10.3) offers a graphical user interface (a configuration window) and direct telescope connection through a serial port. No stand-alone server is necessary, but one can be used for connecting over a network.
Both options allow Stellarium to connect to third party applications (see below) that use Stellarium's telescope control protocol.
Both options allow Stellarium to control a telescope connected to another computer through a network connection.
Both options allow Stellarium to send only "slew" ("go to") commands and to receive the current position. Stellarium cannot issue any other commands, so users should be aware of the possibility for mount collisions and similar situations.
Both options require that the various necessary preparations (entering geographical coordinates, performing alignment, etc.) are done to the telescope before connecting to Stellarium.
WARNING: Stellarium CANNOT prevent your telescope from being pointed at the Sun.
- Never point your telescope at the Sun without a proper solar filter installed. The powerful light amplified by the telescope WILL cause irreversible damage to your eyes and/or your equipment.
- Even if you don't do it deliberately, a slew during daylight hours may cause your telescope to point at the sun on its way to the given destination, so it is strongly recommended to avoid using the telescope control feature before sunset without appropriate protection.
Supported devices
A list of supported devices can be found here:
Third party applications
These application act as "servers" in the client-server model. They can be used both with the old feature and the Telescope Control plug-in:
- StellariumScope is a program for MS Windows allowing Stellarium to control a variety of telescopes using the ASCOM drivers. It extends the number of devices that can be controlled by Stellarium and adds commands such as "sync" and "stop".
- An instruction on how to use the Telescope Control plug-in and StellariumScope to control a HEQ5/EQ6 type equatorial mount can be found here: HEQ5/EQ6. Written by Karl Van Louwersen.
- StellLXTSRB is a telescope server for Mac OS X, developed by Tony Barry. It has been used successfully with a Meade ETX-80 and an LX-90. According to its author, it will possibly work with any LX-emulating telescope.

These kits also have multiple carpet options available in your choice of standard or cut pile, as well as the choice of having a mass back option to your carpet. All of the carpet comes from ACC Carpets and has a jute backing attached to the underside, heel and toe pads. The standard carpet option uses a mix of 80% Nylon and 20% Rayon. The cut pile carpet is similar to most domestic vehicles post-1974, features ACC Carpets nylon material construction from 100% top-quality Dupont yarn. The material is tufted on an 1/8" gauge machine with 14 ounces of yarn per square yard. It is then dyed using the finest dyes available and tested for ozone humidity fading and light fastness. If you decide on adding the mass back option to your carpet, you'll have a tough, rubber layer between the carpet and the jute insulation that increases the form and rigidity of the carpet, while decreasing road noise. It virtually eliminates the need for Dynamat. Each carpet option will continue to make your interior original with a touch of modern style.

You'll also receive sill plates for your doors from Ford Tooling, as well as stainless steel door trim from Scott Drake.
Original style, die-cut underlayment is included to finish off the floor, rear seat and differential area with a perfect fit. All pieces have an asphalt layer with needled cotton just like they did from the factory.
TMI's original material sun visors will feature a friction hinge built within each visor, a strong Masonite inner core and stainless steel end clips. The coupe and fastback sun visors use correct Moonskin Grain headliner vinyl, while convertibles use correct Sierra Grain headliner vinyl. You'll also get TMI's Moonskin grain vinyl headliner for coupes and fastbacks. The windlace from TMI windlace is constructed of premium quality vinyl with a metal core that holds its original shape, making it clean up easily and resist wearing.
