LONGVIEW (KYTX) - An East Texas women and children's shelter says it needs more space, so today, it broke ground on an project.
The $900,000 expansion project includes the addition of six family cottages, which will provide women staying at the Shelter with their children private and separate living quarters from women without children.
This separation and privacy is especially important in the case of teenage boys living with their mothers at the Shelter. Additionally, women with children typically need to stay longer at the Shelter in order to successfully gain independence and the ability to support their families, and the cottages will allow more space for their families, as opposed to the current single rooms with bunk beds and with the restroom down the hall.
Currently a 50-bed shelter with 10 temporary beds that sleeps on average 60-70 women and children a night, the women's shelter project will double the number of the available beds as well as add office space for the Shelter staff to meet with clients.

Graduate Degrees Offered
Middle Tennessee State University offers Doctor of Philosophy, Specialist in Education, Masters, Graduate Certificates and degrees for a total of over 50 graduate programs.
Doctor of Philosophy
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) is offered for the purpose of developing doctoral level expertise combining pedagogy with scholarly achievement and research excellence (applied or theoretical) in the fields of COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCES, ECONOMICS, ENGLISH, HUMAN PERFORMANCE, LITERACY STUDIES, MATHEMATICS & SCIENCE EDUCATION, MOLECULAR BIOSCIENCES, and PUBLIC HISTORY. Above all, the Ph.D. recipient from MTSU is a learned person who has acquired advanced academic skills and is well prepared to teach at the collegiate level, conduct independent scholarly investigation, and provide service to the private and public sectors associated with his/her academic discipline.
Applicants for admission to this degree objective must hold a baccalaureate degree. Although a master's degree is not a general university requirement, each graduate program has the option of establishing such a requisite.
University Requirements Leading to the Ph.D. Degree:
Following are the minimum university requirements that must be met to be eligible for the granting of the Ph.D. degree. IN ADDITION, PLEASE NOTE THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL PH.D. PROGRAM HAS ESTABLISHED DISTINCT CURRICULAR REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO THAT PROGRAM. REFER TO THE DEPARTMENTAL SECTION IN THIS SITE.
General Course and Credit Requirements:
The required minimum is 60 semester hours of coursework, with at least two-thirds of the program at the 7000 level. No more than 12 semester hours of dissertation research (course 7640) may be applied toward this 60-credit requirement. If approved by the student's Graduate Advisor, up to 12 semester hours of coursework completed at the master's level may be applied toward this 60-credit requirement. In the case of a D.A. recipient from MTSU, additional hours may be applied toward the 60-hour requirement if recommended by the graduate advisor and approved by the Dean of Graduate Studies.
The 60-credit requirement must include:
- At least 42 semester hours in discipline-specific coursework. Undergraduate or dual-listed 4000/5000 courses (or their equivalent) CANNOT be used to apply toward this requirement.
- At least 12 semester hours for the dissertation research (course 7640). NOTE: Once a Ph.D. student has begun taking dissertation research, he/she is expected to enroll in at least three (3) semester hours of dissertation research each semester (exclusive of Summer Semester) until the dissertation is completed. Thus Ph.D. students normally enroll for more than 12 total semester hours of dissertation research.
- At least 6 semester hours (two courses) in an educational pedagogy core. MTSU recognizes that competency and understanding of current teaching strategies and technologies is an important component of a contemporary, well-rounded Ph.D. curriculum. Thus an educational core consisting of at least two 3-credit pedagogy courses is required. Please refer to the applicable graduate program section in this catalog for your specific pedagogy requirement.
Additional Program Requirements:
Each doctoral program establishes degree requirements which are specific to that discipline and MAY BE IN EXCESS OF THE MINIMUM UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENTS. Students should consult their graduate program section in this catalog. The Graduate Advisor/Director of each graduate program, in consultation with the Advisory Committee when relevant, may also specify additional requirements such as prerequisites, a reading knowledge of foreign language(s), a working knowledge of statistics, computer literacy, or specific courses related to graduate teaching assistantships or research assistantships.
Pre-dissertation Advisory Committee
As soon as practicable, each Ph.D. student will be assigned a three-person Advisory Committee officially constituted by the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies. The committee is recommended by the Graduate Advisor, in consultation with the student and the potential major professor. If warranted, the committee membership may be reconstituted upon a recommendation from the Graduate Advisor and approval by the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies.
Shortly after constitution of the Advisory Committee, the student should meet frequently with the committee members. The committee provides academic guidance to formulate a curricular plan best suited for the academic needs and interests of the student. This pre-candidacy stage permits optimal flexibility in the event of modified academic interests.
Preliminary Examination
Each Ph.D. student may be required to take a preliminary examination administered by the student's graduate program. The examination will be used to assess specialized and general knowledge of the major area, as well as writing skills. The results of the preliminary exam should be used, in part, to plan the student's academic program. To be eligible to take this preliminary examination, the student must be fully admitted to the College of Graduate Studies and to the graduate program. Programs may have additional requirements.
Qualifying Examinations
The student must pass written and/or oral comprehensive qualifying examinations after having completed all coursework required for the Ph.D. degree (or is enrolled in the last course of the program of study, exclusive of the dissertation). The student must be in good academic standing and must have at least a 3.25 grade point average in all graduate work at the time the Intent to Schedule the Qualifying Examinations is filed. The qualifying examinations are intended to assess whether a candidate is qualified to continue in a doctoral program and advance to candidacy.
The written examinations are given at least one month before the close of the fall, spring and/or summer semesters. Permission for the Ph.D. student to schedule the qualifying examinations requires the approval of the student's Advisory Committee and the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies. Applications may be obtained from the Graduate Office or the Department. The deadlines for submitting these applications may be found in the calendar section of this catalog.
A satisfactory or passing performance on the written and/or oral examinations means that the candidate is qualified to continue the program as planned. A less than satisfactory outcome on any component of the qualifying examinations may result in additional academic requirements and/or a re-examination. A re-examination may be given only once. A Fail decision results in a recommendation to the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies for academic dismissal. The student may appeal the dismissal recommendation, for cause, to the Appeal Subcommittee of the Graduate Council via the Chair of the Graduate Council or the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies.
Written Qualifying Examination
- The purpose of the written examination is to evaluate the candidate's overall knowledge of the field, integrative skills, ability to organize material, and competency in written expression. The maximum time limit for the written examination is 8 hours.
- The written examination is administered by the major department (i.e. the graduate program).
- The graded written examinations are maintained in the department and are available to the student upon request.
Oral Qualifying Examination
The oral examination is administered by the student's Advisory Committee and covers
the candidate's area of specialization and general knowledge. The committee evaluates
the candidate's breadth of knowledge of the field(s), integration and problem-solving
skills, competency in oral expression, and potential for conducting independent research.
Advancement to Candidacy
After having successfully completed the qualifying examination, the student must file an Advancement to Candidacy application with the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies. At this time the Dissertation Committee is formally constituted and usually has the same membership as the pre-dissertation Advisory Committee, although this is not mandatory. For example, should the student's research area change, it may be relevant to replace one or more of the original Advisory Committee members with faculty better qualified to provide research mentoring in the new area of inquiry. The degree plan as approved by the student's Advisory Committee, as well as certification by the student's Advisory Committee of successful completion of the qualifying examinations, is listed on the Advancement to Candidacy form. Upon approval, the College of Graduate Studies will notify the applicant of advancement to candidacy.
Before an applicant is officially admitted to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree, the student must have satisfied the following requirements:
- An Advancement to Candidacy form and an Intent to Graduate form must be filed by the deadlines published in the Graduate Catalog, the Schedule Book, and posted on department bulletin boards on campus. Normally, there are few extension exceptions granted if these forms are not submitted by the listed deadlines.
- The student must have at least a 3.25 grade point average on all coursework listed on the candidacy forms as well as any other graduate work undertaken at Middle Tennessee State University within the specified time limit (10 years). Grades of "D" or "F" are not accepted for any graduate degree credit, and no more than seven (7) hours of "C" grade may count toward Ph.D. degree requirements. However, all "C, D, and F"; grades will be included in the student's GPA computation, unless otherwise exempted by the university repeat policy.
- The student's entire program, including the dissertation, must be acceptable to the Dissertation Committee, Department Chair and/or Director of Graduate Studies, and the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies.
Defense of Dissertation
After the completion of the dissertation and all other prescribed work for the degree, candidates will be given a final oral examination dealing primarily with the dissertation and its relation to the candidate's major field of study. This examination will be conducted by the student's Dissertation Committee. All members must be present at the examination. If the student's performance on this examination is satisfactory as judged by the committee, all requirements for the degree will be completed upon approval of the dissertation; completion of all prescribed coursework (including all incomplete's) and attaining university minimums.
Residency requirements will be established by each program, pending Graduate Council approval.
Time Limit
There is a ten-year time limit for completing all Ph.D. degree requirements. Thus all coursework offered toward the doctoral degree, as well as the dissertation, must be completed within 10 years after matriculation (i.e. the first semester of enrollment).
Transfer Credits
Only coursework completed at an accredited institution that would count toward the doctorate there will be considered for approval as transfer credit toward the Doctor of Philosophy coursework requirement at MTSU. Additional information on transfer credit may be found in the section on academic regulations.
Specialist in Education Degree
Middle Tennessee State University offers the Specialist in Education (Ed.S.) degree in Administration and Supervision and in Curriculum and Instruction. The Ed.S. is provided specifically for teachers, counselors, and administrators wishing to pursue graduate study beyond the master's level. The Ed.S. in Administration and Supervision is available through the Department of Educational Leadership.

Speak Out 9/7/12
Pansy Glenn
Congratulations to Pansy Glenn for being chosen as the new director for Cape Girardeau's Discovery Playhouse. The Southeast Missourian's editorial commending the choice and noting the ongoing attraction of the playhouse was commendable.
Melaina's playground
I just read the letter about Melaina's Magical Playland, a touching story. I added it up and if everyone in Cape Girardeau contributed $3.65 for every person in the household, or $1.82 for every resident in Cape Girardeau County, we could finish paying off this playground. I can't think of a better way to show God's work in action than this. So come on, Cape Girardeau County residents. Let's show how we can serve our Lord by this small gesture. Donations can be made online at www.magicalplayland.org. Thank you, and God bless.
Liability insurance
I have a question and concern. For instance just a few days ago a moped struck the back of a pickup truck, and we see it with bicycles as well. Is there liability coverage on these little mo-peds and bicycles? We're seeing more of them on our public highways and roadways. They should at least cover liability insurance like any other vehicle.
Once again I'm at the bank in my car waiting to use the drive-thru ATM, and once again there's people standing in line. If the bank is open and you come in and you're not in your car, go inside your building. Don't jam up the line with the cars. That's the only way things get done efficiently. It happens more and more often; the drive-thru line was created for cars, not pedestrians.
Dress code
At first I did not like the dress code in Cape Girardeau, but I had to have a second look. They are allowing a lot of flexibility. You can wear jeans and a great number of tops; it's not like Nazi uniforms. And in an age where mothers and fathers don't set standards for their children, schools have to set standards. That's our second line of defense. Youth have to respect their own bodies. Parents, don't let a girl walk out the door with a skirt high up to her hind end and when she bends over you see her underwear.
Rove's comment
Republican strategist Karl Rove opened his mouth just like a Republican. They think they are above everyone else and can say and do whatever they want, and then there are people who are ready to back them as our leaders. You would think people had better sense than that.
Empty chair
I read where Brent Spiner tweeted he was going to vote for the empty chair. This make sense, as Hollywood has shown its support for an empty chair as president.
Tornado sirens
I know we need tornado sirens to keep us safe, but whoever is in charge of the tornado sirens in Jackson really needs to check the weather before they turn the sirens on. The sirens went off Friday evening; working at the school we hurried and made sure the after school kids and other staff were safe and then went to check channel 12 only to find out the storm was in Bollinger County and headed north, not even coming our way. People in Jackson are getting tired of these false alarms.
School buses
Cape Girardeau school buses are back on the streets, and many are driving too fast and on the wrong side of the road. Slow down and don't assume because you are bigger you have the right to run others off the road, because cars are parked on your side.
If you think dealing with government bureaucracy is difficult, I'm here to tell you it's an absolute dream in comparison to dealing with the bureaucracy of an insurance company.
Checking facts
With a few exceptions here and there, a Southeast Missourian fact-checking tool, if used as it should be, would end up eliminating virtually all of the Opinion page columns since the columnists' attempt to buttress their columns with woefully erroneous facts.
Krauthammer column
The neocons are itching for a war with Iran. Columnist Charles Krauthammer elaborated on it with his "deterrence is a fantasy" column when it comes to Iran. Never mind the fact that containment or deterrence of the Soviet Union rather than a nuclear holocaust led to its demise, Krauthammer and the war hawks advising Mitt Romney, the same crowd that advised George W. Bush, are itching for one or more wars. The American people are tired of wars, particularly those of the needless variety, like the one in Iraq. We are winding down the war in Afghanistan, the longest war in American history. When it comes to foreign policy in general, Mitt Romney seems tone deaf to the hard lessons we've learned.
State pensions
It is no wonder that the states are in financial trouble with their lavish pensions. If you retire with Social Security or railroad retirement, you have to be over 65 years old to get full benefits. But the states are letting their people retire in their 50s. That adds 15 more years that they can draw their pension. This should never have happened, and it should have been the voters and not to government of Congress and Senators making that decision, as they have been making it better for themselves. There is no way any pension fund can support any plans like this. Union pension plans start at 65 also. Not at 50 like state governments.
Deer hunting ordinance
Why did it take a petition for the city council to hear what citizens want? At least Kathy Swan, Loretta Schneider and Harry Rediger recognize that hunting in Cape Girardeau is not right. Who knows what the council was thinking? I hope when the council votes on the referendum petition, all council members will be present and vote with the citizens to keep Cape Girardeau safe. Repealing the ordinance will not only show they are listening to citizens but will save taxpayer money by not requiring a ballot.

I savor inspiration when it comes my way. I think to be inspired is sort of natural high for us as humans. I find inspiration in so many places. Nature, music, books, people, conversation and prayer are some of the first places I look to find inspiration. The forest and its fragrance are something that inspire me.
Years ago I read The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino. It is a very short but epic book. Mandino is well-known for writing books about being inspired, successful and happy. While thrift shopping a few weeks back I came across, The Choice, also by Mandino.
While reading The Choice, I felt convicted about my time and how I Choose to spend it. My husband's favorite author, Annie Dillard said, "How we spend our days is how we spend our lives."
Let that sink in. Does what you do really matter or make you happy? I have been pondering that a lot lately.
In the book, Mark is a young father and husband who climbed the corporate ladder successfully, fast and strong.
Mark realized he was missing precious time. One of the big ones, he missed seeing his son pitch his first no-hitter.
When we are the super stars at work that the boss depends on, there is a price to pay. The same goes for being the over spent volunteer, coach, tireless artist and of course the stay at home mom who feels like she needs to be superwoman to add up. It feels almost unfair that if one thing is going Amazing; chances are something else is suffering. Having it all… what does that even mean? At this point in my life I have changed my definition. I think to have it all is to find balance among all of the things that are important to me. It forms a perfect circle. The hard part is then being able to drop the things that are not.
We think our kids want stuff. And they do. But if we dig deeper, what the people we love really crave and need is TIME. Time cannot be bought. Time cannot be returned and time cannot be redone. The moment is the moment. We try to manipulate time. But as the saying goes, "it is what it is." You are either present or you aren't.
Mark was inspired, by what my friends and I like to call a "God moment." His son ran down the driveway to embrace him on Father's Day as he was leaving to golf with work buddies. Right then and there, his life would change forever. He made a choice to put what really mattered first. He chose to leave the corporate world completely. What did he decide to do instead? Become a writer of course;)
His family embraced the change and moved to a property with a lighthouse. This lighthouse becomes a background for the writing in the story.
Mark's book is written in the lighthouse and typed on an old Underwood typewriter left by the previous author; a beautifully interwoven piece to the story.
The book Mark writes, is about living a successful life and it takes off an incredible journey straight to the top. He is once again at the top of his game. And there are some struggles that come along with it.
This book was written in 1984 and there is a story within a story. It is a mystery of sorts and in the beginning really had an old school Scooby Doo vibe. I don't believe that was his intention. It might just be part of my childhood amusing me while reading. There was No Mystery Bus! But this mystery takes a turn in style, almost a premonition to the writing style of, "The Shack," which will soon be a movie. The shack is an excellent book and if I may suggest, Please read it before the movie comes out.
Mark is given a profound choice to make and he does. I won't divulge that here. I will say this, I think most people will initially think the title of this book was based on, "The Choice," he is given in the mystery part of the book. I don't agree.
I believe the greatest choice, the hardest choice was the one Mark made in the beginning when he listened to his heart and dumped the corporate world to live a life of meaning beyond just money.
A definite worth while read.

Redid my visors, now all I have left is my soundbar and headliner. However, I have this giant thin black sheet I would like to use, but was told the glue would seep through the sheet and it would be visible? Should I even bother trying it or no?
Planning on redoing mine soon too. Are you planning on using a bedsheet as headliner? I would only imagine that glue would definately show through that.
I replaced the headliner in another vehicle using "Joanne's" headliner fabric and "specific" headliner spray glue. Make sure you use specific headliner glue otherwise it won't stay stuck.
If that's the case, as long as you do 3-4 really light coats about 5 minutes apart or so, you should get a nice coat that won't show through.
Just remember to practice laying it on without cement a few times before you attempt the real thing. Once that stuff touches, it's stuck!!
You need 2 people to do it - you and an assistant. I did mine in the "Living room.":)
Go to any local dealerships part's department and buy a couple cans of CRC Healiner Spray. Spray the whole board and the back of the fabric down and let it set up for about 10 minutes before putting them together. The glue won't seep through that way.

text: Many years ago after coming to the Lord Jesus Christ every body I knew, plus most, if not all the Churches were teaching to put the Word of God first in your life. So I did that, every thing I learned came from reading the Bible. But how many times do we read the Word of God and not have a clue what is says? So, normally we either read the commentary contained within the pages of the Word, or we would ask our pastor what it meant. Today we search the Internet seeking answers, and there are all kinds of different interpretations which are all over the place. Just choose one out of many to believe. The Devil is not dumb, he knows to be able to keep the Church in disarray he needs a doctrine that sounds holy and good, and that can not be thought of as being wrong. How could putting the Word of God first in your life be a bad thing? There were times I would ask the Lord something and then I would just flip open my Bible and start reading to get my answer. That was really really dumb, and I am sure a lot of people today are still doing that. At this point in my Christan life I did not know what the Lord wanted me to do. I knew that praying was very important, especially praying in the Spirit. I would do that for hours, and then I would ask the Lord for interpretation of what I was saying. The Lord appeared to me in a vision while praying, and I asked him "what do you want me to do?", He said, "I want you to teach my Word" I was not happy with that answer because number one I don't know anything about the Bible, except Jesus loves me yes I know for the Bible tells me so. Number two, I am a very shy, introverted person, and my command of the English language is not nonexistent. I told him "you have the wrong guy." But I could tell I was not getting through to him in changing his mind. So, I did next best thing I could think of at that moment to try, and get the Lord to change his mind. I said, "OK, I'll do it, but only if you teach me yourself, face to face, and what ever you teach me will be the only words that will come out of my mouth." The Lord agreed with that, but I was still not happy. I did not want the Lord to agree with my request. I was hoping that I was asking to much for him to do. My mistake! One of the first things I was taught was that the very first thing you put in your life in being able to understand scriptures is the Father. When you read the Bible first, and you don't understand what you are reading where do you turn to get clarification? This is the problem we have today. The only place you can go to get the truth is from the one who spoke the Word, which is God the Father. We have our priorities out of place. It is not the Word you put first, it is the Father!!!! Some might think that kind of thinking is blasphemy. Jesus had no problems with this as he tells us....... John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. The Word of God will never speak to us until the Father speaks. We do not go to the Word first, we go to the Word second. Not until you hear the Father, he teaches you something, and only then do you go to the Word of God, in which the Father will confirm what he has taught in His Word!!!! If you do it any other way all you will have is the tradition of man, based on the elementary teaching of this world, and not after Christ. Then the Holy Spirit will bear witness to what the Father has taught you. Without three witnesses you will not have truth. Father, Son (Word), Holy Spirit. This is the divine order in which God works and teaches his Children. We are the student, and the Father is the teacher, and we do not choose what is to be learned. That is the responsibility of the teacher not the student. In other words, without having a face to face relationship with God the Father the Word of God will only be a mystery to us.

Unions expect HSE to offer redundancy again
UNIONS representing HSE workers expect a controversial €400m redundancy package to be reintroduced in the new year.
The IMPACT trade union, which represents clerical, administrative and management grades at the HSE, said the "obvious thing" for the Government to do would be to offer the package again in 2011.
The prediction came as figures confirmed just 1,700 workers were prepared to take the package -- far below the 3,000 to 5,000 the HSE had been seeking. The once-off scheme was announced in a bid to get rid of staff and save up to €200m a year.
A spokesman for IMPACT said the union was not surprised the numbers taking up the offer were so low and said the deadlines for acceptance were too tight.
"The obvious thing for them to do is to have a crack at it in the new year. It was unclear to us why the December 30 (deadline) was sacrosanct," he said.
"The thing to do is to go at it again but to give it more time."
The Department of Finance had set aside a special fund of €400m to finance the voluntary severance and early retirement scheme targeted initially at managerial and administrative staff, and then at support staff such as porters.
It is expected that the final figure of how many people will take up the scheme will emerge in the coming days.
Last night, a spokesperson for the HSE said management would be reflecting on the issue over the coming weeks.
There was no decision yet as to what the the next step would be, she said.
A spokesperson for Health Minister Mary Harney said she had indicated previously the deal was "likely not" to be reintroduced in the future.

In a small room, just large enough to set up three Ping-Pong tables, over 20 people fill the space with positive energy in a rustic building in downtown Victoria. The players, who belong to the Victoria Chinese Seniors' Association (VCSA) located in the Victoria Silver Threads Centre, socialize through healthy and challenging games of table tennis.
"As soon as you touch the paddle, you win because your confidence grows as well as your happiness," says Shaohu Xu, a member of the VCSA Board and head of the Table Tennis Project. "So many individuals enjoy playing for fun and not for the competitive reasons. They want to make friends. This event allows seniors to break the isolation of the Chinese senior citizens and allows them to make friendships with people outside of their culture. The Chinese Association applies the principle of including others from different communities in the organization."
The event was the Greater Victoria Seniors Table Tennis Tournament, held on November 16th. The Project set the following goals: facilitate and teach skill development through playing Ping-Pong; increase socialization and interactions among seniors; teach seniors how to organize and run recreational activities, including a tournament; provide the infrastructure to keep seniors fit, active and involved in the sport; and encourage seniors to create and build cross-cultural friendships with the non-Chinese community.
With funds obtained from a Federal New Horizons Program grant, a new Ping-Pong table and equipment was purchased and a local expert player hired to help seniors learn technique and develop their skills. A pilot project began in mid-March to determine interest and assess ability of the players.
The volunteer Steering Committee invited seniors from Monterey, Saanich, Juan de Fuca James Bay New Horizons and Fairfield Seniors to join.
"This is part of the fabric of Victoria," says Donna Humphries, a Public Relations Volunteer for the VCSA. "Organizing to help others is an important community activity."
"One lady who took up Ping-Pong," says Shaohu, "never went to school, but she learned Chinese writing and was encouraged to stay with the ESL class, offered through the Chinese Association. Now that she plays table tennis, she makes progress with her English and participates in the dancing program. Her confidence has increased and people see her in a positive light."
Duke Chu is the President of the VCSA. "Our group is growing larger and larger. We teach people language skills, such as key phrases that help them get directions, make doctor's appointments, and other basic communication skills that any Canadian would know," says Duke. "We help newcomers and teach them about Canadian society and encourage them to get out and play mahjong and cook Chinese delicacies. Organizing the Ping-Pong tournament was one way to increase awareness of our organization."
In the Chinese community, some people feel lonely and isolated in their new city. Joining an organization that combines fun activities with meeting new people helps them feel as though they are part of the larger community.
"We even participated in the fall Moon Cake Festival, and we created a production line for making dumplings," says Peter Hsu, a member of the board. "It was so exciting because we were singing and entertaining each other. Our members are healthy, more active and enjoy their life a lot more than inactive seniors. We even participate in ballroom dancing."
The Ping-Pong tournament serves to integrate Chinese people into Canadian culture by reaching out and inviting Canadian senior centres to participate. Regular Ping-Pong sessions will continue throughout the winter. Everyone is welcome. For more information, contact the Victoria Silver Threads.
History of Ping-Pong
Like many other sports, table tennis began as a mild social diversion. It was popular in England in the second half of the 19th century under its current name and various trade names such as Gossima and Wiff-Waff. After the name Ping-Pong (an imitation of the sound made by the ball striking the table and the vellum bats that were used) was introduced by J. Jaques & Son, the game became a fashionable craze.
The game was popular in Central Europe in 1905-10, and before this, a modified version was introduced to Japan and later spread to China and Korea. It dropped out of fashion in Europe, but was revived in England and Wales in the early 1920s. By that time, Ping-Pong was a registered trademark, so the earlier name of table tennis was re-introduced. National associations were formed and standardized rules began, both in Europe and the Far East. Over the next 60 years, table tennis has developed into a faster and more demanding game. It is now a major worldwide sport, played by nearly 30 million competitive players and millions more who play less seriously. In 1988, table tennis was introduced as an Olympic sport in Seoul, South Korea.

Stuck Swan
Date: 3 November 2014
Date: 3 November 2014
I've noticed a swan swimming around the basin where we live for three days now. It's got high walls on three sides and a ledge on the other which is quite high. (I've attached pictures). I'm worried the swan is stuck and cannot get out. When I went to see it, it followed me as I walked. Should I contact a local wildlife service?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hours after showing off the baby she kidnapped as her own, Lisa Montgomery literally had blood on her hands from killing Bobbie Jo Stinnett, the infant's mother, crime scene experts testified Wednesday.
Montgomery, 39, of Melvern, Kan., is charged with kidnapping Victoria Jo Stinnett resulting in the death of Bobbie Jo Stinnett, 23, of Skidmore, Mo.
Defense attorneys aren't denying Montgomery's involvement in the slaying but are using an insanity defense and seeking a not guilty verdict by reason of insanity.
After Montgomery was arrested at her rural Melvern home on Dec. 17, 2004, Kristin Davis, a crime scene technician for the Kansas City Police Department, scraped residue from under the fingernails of Montgomery.
Kevin Winer, a chief criminalist at the crime laboratory, said the laboratory compared the scrapings to DNA samples taken from Stinnett, her newborn daughter and Montgomery.
Most of the blood in the scrapings came from Montgomery and the rest from Bobbie Jo Stinnett, Winer said. When arrested, Montgomery had a cut on her left middle finger. An earlier witness testified an attacker armed with a knife often suffers a cut from her own knife.
A knife spattered with blood on the handle and blade was recovered from Montgomery's car trunk. The blade showed a mix of blood from Victoria Jo Stinnett and Bobbie Jo Stinnett, Winer testified. The majority of blood on the handle came from Bobbie Jo Stinnett, and minor amounts came from two other people, Winer said.
"Lisa Montgomery could not be excluded from being one of those individuals," Winer said. The second person couldn't be identified, he said.
Jurors viewed a close-up photograph showing a large clump of the slaying victim's hair tangled in a knot of white nylon rope recovered from Montgomery's car and thought to have been used to choke the victim to death.
FBI Special Agent Kurt Lipanovich said a rat terrier breeder in North Carolina pointed out that e-mail messages between Bobbie Jo Stinnett, a breeder, and a breeder identifying herself as "Darlene Fischer," who wanted to buy a dog from Stinnett, might indicate Fischer was the last person to see Stinnett alive.
In April 2004, Stinnett and Montgomery, who were rat terrier breeders, met at a dog show in Abilene, Kan. The North Carolina breeder later gave Lipanovich the e-mail address for Fischer — "firstname.lastname@example.com."
" 'Fischer4kids' meant hunting for kids!" Lipanovich told jurors, referring to the taking of Victoria Jo Stinnett. "It made the hair stand up on the back of my neck."
Investigators quickly traced the e-mail address to the phone of Kevin Montgomery in rural Melvern, who is Lisa Montgomery's husband.
Using a map in a PowerPoint presentation, Lipanovich tracked Montgomery's movements from Melvern in Osage County northeast into Skidmore in Nodaway County in northwest Missouri, mostly on Dec. 16, 2004, the day Bobbie Jo Stinnett was killed and the baby was kidnapped.
Lipanovich noted that a day before the crimes, Montgomery bought gasoline in Ottawa, Kan., at 6:10 a.m., then bought more gas in Maryville, Mo., 13 miles from Skidmore, at 9:29 a.m. that same day.
At 6:04 a.m. Dec. 16, 2004, she bought gas, cigarettes and pop at Casey's General Store in Lyndon, Kan., all with a debit card.
Montgomery continued to make cell calls, then bought gas at 10:43 a.m. in Mound City, Mo., 19 miles from Skidmore, and withdrew $20 from an ATM machine, Lipanovich said records showed.
Bobbie Jo Stinnett was killed between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. The last of 20 cell calls that day occurred at 7:04 p.m. as Montgomery was riding home and she left a message for a daughter in Alabama to tell her about the new baby in the family.

Communication Credits: To Comm or Not to Comm
You sit at your desk, notes in clammy hands, breaths shaky. The professor calls your name. This is it. You slide out from your desk and meekly make your way to the front of the class—to the podium. You stare out into a room full of faces staring blankly back. You then stare down at your notes and wonder why none of them make any sense. But this is a communications class. You have to start talking at some point.
If this ranks up among Falling Into Shark-Infested Waters and Being Chased by Flying Monkeys as one of your worst nightmares, then you might be interested in the following fun fact: Acting I can act as an alternative course to Introduction to Communication in fulfilling your communication requirement.
Wait, you might say. Acting is pretty scary, too!
Before you have flashbacks of your stage fright in the third-grade school play, let's talk about Acting I.
Acting I—THEA 100—is purely the basics of acting. It's not Shakespeare. It is just the fundamentals, the building blocks. No one is expected to be able to stand up and recite a soliloquy on the first day of class—in fact, you might not even pick up a script for the first month or so. You will be focusing instead on movement, on how to respond to others, on how to draw from your own life experiences in order to make the most out of your characters and scenes. Expect some stretches; expect some running around the theatre (maybe even a game of tag).
An "A" in Acting I isn't based on whether your final scene performance could win you an Oscar. It's not based on whether you end up changing your major to theatre. It's based on your willingness to explore the world around you and the world inside you: skills that you can pack up and carry with you as you move through Fox and into the "real" world, no matter what career path you end up on.
So if you're still waiting on that Comm credit, consider taking the stage instead of the podium. It might not be as scary as you think.

Well I think the baby food grinder was a good idea. Brandon has dysphagia so its hard for him to eat solids and jarred baby food, well, its yucky. Anyway, I made some hamburger helper last night for Kelly and the kids. Brandon kept trying to get into Kelly's food. That was a great thing to see for me because he really hasn't had much interest in food. So I decided to try grinding it up and see what happens. I made it pretty thick because you have to add water to it or milk to get the consistency really thin. I was afraid if I added liquids it would make it taste yucky. So I gave it to him like this. He ate it!!!! But I am not sure if I should make it thinner. He only ate about eight bites. You can hear him when he eats. Because of the dysphagia and poor muscle tone in his mouth everything he eats is like eating peanutbutter. You know how its hard for you to eat peanutbutter and swallow it. That is what he looks like when he eats anything that isn't really thin. He opens his mouth really wide and you can see him struggling to eat it. So I may have to make the consistency thinner. But I am so psyched to see him eating things. I think his problem is that baby food is just yucky. We shall see. I will keep you posted!
Go out and buy like 10 boxes of hamberger helper!
That is great,
I know the twins love the flavor of the gerber toddler meals, they have all diffrent flavors; turkey stew with rice, chicken stew with noodles, spagetti and meatballs, diffrent raviolis etc. I have a hard time getting them to take the first bite of most foods but if they see the gerber bowls they run to it. One bowl is enough for both the twins so you could probably get two meals for Brandon out of one. I like them better than feeding them the hamburger helper stuff or other "adult" meals because they are fortified, and "made" for toddlers. I think I pay about 1.25-1.30 per bowl, and get it on sale sometimes for 10 for 10.00.
Glad that he is doing better, hope it keeps up.
WTG Brandon!! I am soo happy for you Patty!!
That is great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :smile:
That's such great news!!! I'm jumping up and down for Brandon!!

YJ A/C and vent question
Did only the hard top YJs get the 3 air vents that protrude under the radio and A/C controls and the 1 under the glove box? Were the vents like that part of a package? Sorry for the silly question but I havent seen any soft top YJs with them yet.
The AC is a bolt on option. More common with hard tops from the dealer, but available with soft tops also.
Yep. I got the Renegade package in my '91, and it came with a hard top. The AC blower unit was an add-on option.
I see it now. Its like a whole unit as sold from jeepair.com that fits under the dash and it appears self contained. I have looked at some Jeeps that had that unit under the dash yet they also had the slide type temp select levers and blower motor speed select to the left of the radio as well as what appeared to be controls on the A/C unit under the dash. Whats up with that?
Did Jeeps come with A/C controls even if they didnt leave the factory with it and when its added later you just use the controls on the add on unit?
The slider is to choose if you want hot air blowing for the defrost/heat or if you want outside temp air blowing. Those come in all YJs
The knobs on the a/c unit choose the power it blows out and how cold you want it.
I have a/c and it came like that. A lot of the saharas came from the factory with a/c.

For: Massive acceleration, excellent auto transmission, responsive chassis, high levels of comfort, easy to drive, reasonable value.
Against: Less-than-generous rear leg room, narrow front seats, high fuel consumption.
Score: 4 stars (out of 5).
Jaguar's efforts to break into the mid-sized luxury car market dominated by German manufacturers have had mixed success.
The S-Type model has sold well around the world, but early reports of poor quality when it was launched in 1998 and some jarringly cheap-looking interior components harmed its cause. Which is a pity in some ways, because it has always been good to drive.
Fast forward four years to 2002 and there's a vastly revised S-Type ready to enter the fray. Refreshed exterior styling, retuned suspension, an interior upgrade and a cheaper entry-level model are among the changes. On top of all that, there's a thrilling performance flagship in the S-Type R.
Although that letter "R" doesn't add much to the badge, it means a whole lot when it comes to driving excitement. As with the bigger XJ sedan and XK coupe and convertible, it signifies the addition of a supercharger to the Jaguar's V8 engine for significantly boosted performance.
On top of that, the V8 itself has been stretched in capacity from 4.0 to 4.2 litres and, like the rest of the new S-Type range, the transmission now has six speeds instead of five. Add a Brembo braking package, stiffer suspension, more supportive seats and the reasonably subtle addition of a mesh grille and rear wing to the boot lid and there's the makings of a four-door express train.
You are expected to pay for it, of course, and while at $162,000 the S-Type R is far from cheap, against rivals such as the $190,000-plus BMW M5 and Mercedes E55 AMG (a new version is due in November) it's not looking so bad.
Especially when you look at the performance of the R, which is right up there with the best. Power output from the quad-cam, 32-valve V8 is a full 298kW and torque levels are similarly stratospheric, with 533Nm available at 3500rpm. In all, it's enough for Jaguar to claim its 1800-kilogram mid-sizer will hit 100kmh from standstill in just 5.6 seconds.
That declaration is totally believable, because even the first drive of the S-Type R reveals it reacts to even the vaguest whiff of throttle like a racehorse bolting from the gate. Because of the auto transmission there's no messing with muscle-car clutch pedals and gearboxes; merely stick it in drive (there's even an auto-release handbrake to facilitate hasty departures), nail the right pedal and in a whoosh of supercharged power it's away.
It sounds a cliche, but the driver needs to keep an eye on the speedo because legal limits don't mean much to this car. It was designed for high-velocity cruising on European motorways, with the top speed limited to 250kmh.
The point is, though, that for anyone who likes a very lively driving experience and the availability of real pulling power on demand at lower speeds, the S-Type R delivers in spades. It will use plenty of fuel in the process, and the 70litre tank starts looking small against consumption in the region of 15 litres/100km.
Despite being a fire-breathing performance car, there's also plenty of refinement. The gearbox is especially nice, with smooth shift and rapid kickdowns. Instead of more fashionable Tiptronic-style manual overrides, there's Jaguar's "J-gate", which might not seem as sexy, but actually does what the driver wants by picking the selected gear and sticking to it.
It's a handy feature when negotiating tighter corners, and the R's stiffer suspension, electronic stability control and very wide tyres on 18-inch rims go a long way towards keeping all that power safely under control. That is all backed by fine, communicative steering and enough balance to ensure this Jaguar handles as well as it grips.
There is a payback in ride quality in that around town it lacks Jaguar's usual fluency and can faithfully transmit smaller bumps and a degree of suspension noise to the cabin. That's despite a two-stage damper system that automatically adjusts for a blend of ride comfort or handling ability, but on the whole the tautness of the ride isn't going to bother many owners of what is after all a car focused on performance. The huge, 11.5metre turning circle is, however, a nasty surprise.
There's plenty of luxury, though, with standard equipment ranging from plush leather and walnut trim, power seats and steering column, a CD stacker, cruise control and most other accoutrements of European luxury motoring. There are also enough expensive options – many of which come standard on the opposition – to add to the overall bill: a touch-screen satellite navigation system, or a sunroof, for example. But overall the SType R's cabin is well kitted out.
The driver sees a simple instrument panel (with a big "supercharged" logo in the middle of the tachometer, in case they've forgotten) and a rather cheap-looking LED readout for the trip computer. Finding a good driving position is easy, but the heavily bolstered seats may be a little tight for larger posteriors.
Despite being a relatively large and heavy car, the S-Type is hampered by only mediocre use of that space. The rear seat doesn't offer much leg room and head space is similarly tight, while the boot is quite shallow despite only having to carry a space-saver spare tyre. High sills also contribute to a somewhat claustrophobic feel inside.
But if you want bahnstorming performance in a package surprisingly cheaper than European rivals, and have only an occasional need for rear-seat room, the S-Type R is very difficult to go past.

Interior notes
. Centre console display is confusing, with lots of buttons for many functions.
. Dark-stained wood and leather show a more sporty touch than usual S-Type interior.
. Steering wheel has electronic adjustment in all directions.
. The LCD displays for trip computer, radio and ventilation settings look cheap.
BMW M5 – $194.240, 4.5 stars (out of 5)
Sledgehammer V8 performance, manual-only gearbox and firm suspension mark the M5 as a performance machine but with seating for four. Expensive but brilliant.
Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG – $150,047, 4 stars (out of 5)
Sportiest sedan from Benz until E55 AMG arrives in a few months. Smaller than Jag, but supercharged V6 offers decent punch, although outright performance dimmed slightly by auto.
Audi S6 – $166,070, 3.5 stars (out of 5)
Not quite up to others on performance. Tuned for comfort rather than outright handling, but quattro drivetrain offers extra security.
Prices correct at publication date.

Perhaps best known for his work with nails – canvases or objects decorated with nails, often painted white – German-born sculptor and installation artist Günther Uecker has played an influential part within the European avant-garde in the latter half of the twentieth century.
Uecker's primary interest resides in working with the effects of light and optical phenomena. He moves away from two-dimensional painting by piercing the canvas with nails, allowing light and shadow to become the subject matter of his relief-like works. The resulting works evoke a special sense of light, space, movement and time. The artist uses light and electricity as key elements in his art, incorporates natural materials such as sand and wind in his installations, and works with movable sculpture.
In 1958 Günther Uecker takes part in the exhibition Das Rote Bild (The Red Picture), arranged by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, the founders of ZERO. The exhibition, which is held in their studio in Düsseldorf, is Uecker's first. In the years that follow he maintains close ties to ZERO, becoming an official member in 1961. Together with founders Mack and Piene, Uecker is a key member of the association, which seeks to take painting back to a point zero, allowing art to be rebuilt anew.
Together with Otto Piene, Heinz Mack and Mattijs Visser, Günther Uecker set up the ZERO Foundation in 2008. The foundation owns the complete ZERO archives for the three Düsseldorf artists, as well as documents and photographs by other related artists.
The artist is represented in:

Quotes: ability
Quotes 1 till 10 of 167.
Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.
Gore Vidal
American writer and criticus 1925-
A talent for drama is not a talent for writing, but is an ability to articulate human relationships.
Robert Frost
American poet 1874-1963
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of face within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
Elbert Hubbard
American writer and publisher 1859-1915
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
During my eighty-seven years, I have witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none of them has done away with the need for character in the individual or the ability to think.
Henry David Thoreau
American writer 1817-1862
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
Harry S. Truman
American president 1884-1972
It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace. When we understand the other fellow's viewpoint, and he understands ours, then we can sit down and work out our differences.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
American statesman 1882-1945
The barrier between success is not something which exists in the real world: it is composed purely and simply of doubts about ability.

New Delhi, Nov 22 : Not really impressed with the preparation that India will have going into the Test series against Australia, former captain Sourav Ganguly today said a couple of two-day practice games are just not enough.
India will start the Test series against Australia on December 4 and play two practice games before that. "The key to doing well in places like Australia is the preparation before the Test series starts and not between the matches. I am not happy with India's schedule of two two-day games ahead of first Test match," Ganguly said during a panel discussion at the "Hindustan Times Leadership Summit".
"This effectively means that you will get only two innings to prepare yourself for the first Test which I don't think is ideal. Even someone like Virat Kohli would like to get at least four innings to prepare himself," he added.
Ganguly, India's most successful captain in overseas Test matches, recollected his time when India batted well during that phase. (Ganguly's 30-man World Cup squad)
"If you look at the Oval Test match few months back, we batted some 42 odd covers in the first innings and some 25 odd covers in the second innings. In Brisbane back in 2004, Australia made 323 and we responded with a 450 odd total. In Adelaide, we scored 550 and 700 in Sydney.
"At Headingley in 2002, we scored in excess of 600 runs. In that team, we had Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, VVS Laxman. They were not loud people but always would give you that feeling of quiet confidence that we can do well," he said.
Ganguly backs Dhoni's captaincy
Ganguly said he doesn't see any change in Indian captaincy till the World Cup and that should be the way to go. "I don't see any change in captaincy till World Cup and also it should be like that. Yes, Mahendra Singh Dhoni should be concerned about his overseas Test record because it's something that he will have to live with. But I don't think that Sourav Ganguly and Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy should be compared.
"We captained teams in different eras. But just like I had the tag of being captain who list tri- series final, Champions Trophy final, World Cup final, Dhoni has had a lot of success in major finals," the elegant left-hander said.
