"Stephanie helped my wife and I prepare a fun, cool and simple dance for our wedding. She choreographed all the steps to our song: Everything by Michael Bubble, and helped us get comfortable with all the moves--despite our notorious lack of rhythm. She was a big reason our wedding was as smooth and fun as it was. You can see our dance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaiP_t5AIhs"
Erin M. June 26, 2013
"My husband and I came in to learn dance moves for our first dance at our wedding. I did not have high expectations because my husband does not dance well; however, with Stephanie's guidance she created a dance routine that both he and I could learn quickly within two lessons. Everyone was amazed at our first wedding dance! I know if my husband and I ever need more dance lessons in the future, Stephanie will be our first call! "
Patricia C. June 26, 2013
"Stephanie is amazing. I've been taking swing dance lessons from her for the past few weeks. Already, I feel much more confident and a better dancer. She is good at breaking down what you are having trouble with and giving useful feedback. She challenges you to do better all the time. She isn't just a great instructor, she is always really fun to work with. She has a great attitude. You won't regret taking a class with her. "
Daniel S. June 26, 2013
"Stephanie has been working with my fiance & I on our first dance routine. We really wanted to learn how to swing dance...with flips. I'm proud to say we've come a long way in the last year, and are now incorporating back flips into our routine. I highly recommend Stephanie for swing dancing."
Alexei L. June 25, 2013
"I have been surprised to find that very few teachers besides Sephanie place a heavy emphasis on how to improve the connection between the lead and the follow. The focus is generally first and foremost on memorising the steps to very complex moves; there are now quite a few dancers in New York who can show these off but are terrible at engaging in the kind of physical dialogue swing is really all about. It's unfortunate because having a solid connection will allow you and your partner to enjoy your time on the dance floor even if all you know is a few basic moves."
Sagar K. June 24, 2013
"I've been taking classes with Stephanie for the last 3-4 months. She knows her stuff and how how to explain it. It is clear that she has been thinking about the material for some time making the learning process easier. Can't wait to do a private!"
Sree C. June 24, 2013
"Stephanie worked with my wife and I on a couple of routines for our first dance at our wedding. My wife and I are at best okay & by the time we signed up, it was pretty late. We only had a couple of weeks but by the time our wedding night came we were happy with the routine. Stephanie was great to work with and made learning easy by breaking down the steps to memorize & adapt in such short period. We highly recommend working with her."
Kate L. June 24, 2013
"Stephanie worked with my husband and I on a routine for our first dance at our wedding. My husband and I are rhythm challenged but by the time our wedding night came we were very happy with all the preparation we'd done. Stephanie was great to work with and made learning comfortable and very fun. We highly recommend working with her before your wedding if you want to come off like naturals for the big first dance."
Anna L. June 24, 2013
"Stephanie is a great dance teacher. My Finance and I took classes with her for our wedding dance and we both really enjoy her teaching style and her passion. "
Salome B. June 24, 2013
"Stephanie has worked with me on and off for years and I always love coming back to her as her energy is so positive and contagious. If you want to have a blast learning swing, go to Stephanie!"
Adam L. September 12, 2012
"I really enjoy Stephanie's class. She challenges you to learn quickly, but also to learn broadly. Rather than teaching just one version of a step, she makes sure you learn all the variations on a theme so you're never taken unawares on the social dance floor. If I had to critique one thing about this class, it would be that it's a little *too* much fun. I know dance class can't always be relentless castigation and rote memorization, but I think the higher ups would be a little disappointed if they knew quite how boisterous and convivial her class really was."
Jeremy W. September 9, 2012
"Stephanie is an excellent dance instructor! Her classes are a lot of fun and will definitely help you improve, through learning new steps, correct technique, and fun styling! She is an instructor with both a wide knowledge of dance styles and depth of experience in each style with a lot to offer!"
Kelly S. August 22, 2012
"Stephanie is a great instructor and working with her I've been learning so fast! Her classes are a great mix of learning new and interesting steps, and honing finite technical skills to make all of our dancing better. Classes are fun and generally laid back, but she'll hold you accountable for your dancing, too. She's been great!"
john C. August 16, 2012
"Stephanie is a great teacher with a lot of enthusiasm. This summer she choreographed and led a performance at the 9th avenue food fair that was a big hit and a fun chance to show off for many different levels of dancers"
Ruth A. August 13, 2012
"Stephanie was my first dance instructor and she really inspired me. I now have a passion for dancing and I have her to thank. She has a warm compasionate way with a love for teaching dance that keeps you movtivated when your two left feet are getting in the way. I can't think of anything better for any dance beginner."
Bruce F. K. August 13, 2012
"I've had the pleasure of attending several of Stephanie's monthly classes (not only Swing) but also Salsa on 1. Stephanie is an excellent instructor in a group setting She's very clear, very organized, and very disciplined. It amazes me how much material she can cover and make it understandable to the whole class. She knows how to have fun with the instruction, the classes in that regard are comfortable and easy-going. She's involved with her students to pass along individual tips that help them better understand and execute the dances.
You go Stephanie!!!!"
Kristy D. October 6, 2011
"We used Stephanie for private dance lessons to help choreograph our first dance for our wedding. Stephanie was a great teacher who was able to choreograph an easy to learn dance that even my husband could learn! She was able to clearly and concisely explain her instructions. The dance was elogantly choreographed with our song, and flowed perfectly at the wedding. We received many compliments on how nice our first dance was, and it we couldnt have done it without her. Stephanie was very personable to be around and we looked forward to the weekly lesson. She tailored the dance to our strengths and incorporated all of our 'wants to includes' and left out all the things we were uncomfortable with. All in all, she was a great teacher who we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for dance lessons!"
Patricia W. September 29, 2011
"Stephanie is a fun dance instructor. She makes beginners like us feel comfortable and her knowledge of styles is extensive. We worked with Stephanie to get ready for our wedding dance and our guests gushed....even though we're no experts!"
Benjamin C. September 19, 2011
"Stephanie did an awesome job of choreographing and teaching us our wedding dance. We did ten private lessons with her which worked out well. We were able to do our entire dance confidently! Highly recommended."
Molly V. July 20, 2011
"my boyfriend and I recently took a private salsa lesson with Stephanie Lynn as a birthday gift for my 21st birthday (7/11/11). I wanted to write you all to tell you how wonderful the lesson was. We had such a fantastic time, she was upbeat and energetic and did not get frustrated with us even though we may have felt silly at times for messing up the steps! She was so great at identifying the reasons we were having problems with our steps and why we were getting caught up and she slowed it down and took it step by step with us to make sure that we got it right. By the end of the night, my boyfriend and I felt like we were ready to New York Salsa with the best! It was an amazing birthday present and I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to any of my friends for such an occasion; I wish I lived in the area so that I could come back for classes with her. "
Christian F. June 21, 2011
"My wife and I had a blast taking swing lessons from Stephanie. She put me at ease, and gave perceptive advice and attentive instruction. For example, by having me focus on how to use my arms to direct my wife on the dance floor, she got me to stop obsessing about getting my feet just right, which made the dancing feel more natural. And she taught us some great, simple combinations. I went from annoyed at dancing to really enjoying it. My wife and I were well prepared for a swing dance party, after a mere 4 lessons. Stephanie is a superb teacher."
Merrill K. June 17, 2011
"My boyfriend and I -- who have what's known in the dancing world as "two left feet" -- have been taking swing lessons with Stephanie all year. Stephanie is everything you would want in a dance teacher: kind, funny, and not the slightest bit judgmental. It is obvious that she loves teaching dancing almost as much as she loves dancing itself. By the time we left our first lesson, we were dancing with confidence, and with Stephanie's encouragement we've continued to improve little by little each time. Ten lessons later, our swing-dancing hour is the highlight of our week. "
Liz V. June 8, 2011
"My boyfriend and I had a great time and learned so much taking Stephanie's class. She taught us a lot in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Unfortunately, we moved to LA so we can't continue to take class from her, but we'll definitely use her as the standard as we search for a new swing teacher. We miss you, Stephanie!"
Liza Melanie O. June 7, 2011
"Stephie is a remarkable teacher and dancer. Her patience and commitment to dance and to her students really shows from the first class you take. It is refreshing to see a New Yorker who loves her job and her life as much as she does. Her enthusiasm and energy is contagious and somewhat enviable. As a bonus, she's pretty hot too. Do yourself a favor and take a dance class with Stephanie."
john C. May 28, 2011
"Stephanie is a wonderful teacher. I have been taking swing classes for a number of years and Stephanie still can surprise me with fun, challenging innovations and a truly infectious enthusiasm for the dance. She's been great for my technique and encouraging me to perform and find new venues to dance."
Vinay T. May 26, 2011
"Stephanie is awesome! I have been taking classes under her for some time at the sandra cameron dance center. She is the reason why i was able to perform in public at the 9th avenue intl. food festival in new york a few weeks back!
She works very hard with the students and is extremely kind to the beginners :) She breaks down complicated steps into simpler parts so that learning becomes easy. She also focuses on correcting minor things which would go a long way in making one a better dancer in the long run. I would recommend her without any hesitation."
Taya K. April 8, 2011
"Stephanie is a beautiful dancer and a great teacher. She is not shy about correcting you (like some teachers are) and offering constructive criticism, but she also encourages you and makes sure that you are having fun and feeling good about yourself, no matter what natural abilities (or lack of) you walk in with. She is a great person to help you build your dancing foundation. So even if you don't have a lot of time to devote to training (like say you have a wedding coming up really soon) she will know what you need to be able to "fake it" and look like a great dancer on your wedding day. But if you do have some time to devote, she can help you build on top of that foundation and make you a much stronger dancer than you are now. "
Lisa M. April 8, 2011
"I took classes from Stephanie for over 6 months, before moving away from Manhattan. And Im so sad that there is not another Stephanie.
She has a understanding of swing dance and knows how to teach it. She is able to express the dance to many different learning styles. She knows how to handle a class room with different abilities and interest. She also knows how to make class enjoyable. Definitely a teacher I have recommended to others. "
Alan M. February 7, 2011
"Stephanie is a wonderful, outstanding teacher. My wife and I have worked with her for a year and a half on lindy. We have learned an incredible amount in that time. Stephanie works hard to break down the steps into manageable segments that we can easily learn. She is warm, friendly, patient, encouraging and enthusiastic. We highly recommend her to anyone who would like to learn swing."
Mark S. January 17, 2011
"Stephanie was a wonderful dance instructor. My daughter and I learned to dance a very fine
Rhumba for our daddy-daughter dance. Stephanie was patient, clear, kind and friendly; and our lessons were totally successful--we were awesome when it counted!! I would recommend her as an instructor without reservation. I should add that I had zero dancing experience--other than the universal free form stuff, so you should have no concern about how far a novice can quickly progress."
George A. January 7, 2011
"I've been taking classes with Stephenie the past couple of months.. swing and all ballroom dance.. she is a fine instructor.. but what makes Stephenie different from other dance instructors is the extra attention she gives to individuals during class as well as outside of class.. she is committed to ensuring that her students understand what's been covered during each lesson.. she is always receptive to their questions.. making herself available to them accommodating their schedules if needed.. "
Rob C. January 6, 2011
"Stephanie is an enthusiastic teacher, she cares about her students learning swing dance and is very attentive when you ask questions.She encourages you to practice what you learn in class both in the studio practices and in social settings.She comes out to social dance with students and encourages you to perform!
I have taken many classes with her and encourage you to also!"
Mark G. January 3, 2011
"I have taken 9 months of swing/lindy hop classes with Stephanie and give my highest recommendation. She knows a lot about all forms of partner dancing and really cares about her students."
Sierra C. January 3, 2011
"Stephanie is an absolutely delightful dance instructor who helped and encouraged us in preparation for our wedding last spring. She not only taught us both the basic and the more advanced steps to American and European foxtrot, but worked relentlessly toward improving our form and style, leaving us confident and actually proud of how we dance. Flow and elegance were as important as the mechanics of the steps, and this allowed us to dance more fluidly and comfortably as a couple, even when we confused the actual steps. But not only did she hold our hands, often literally, over months to help us learn to dance, she actually choreographed a stunning composition to the song we chose for our first dance. It was entirely personalized, fun, and gorgeous! It was a wonderful experience that we recommend to anyone - engaged, married, dating, or even single. We can't wait to get back to the studio for more! (Sierra Clark)
As a guy who has never had any formal dance training, I was more than a little apprehensive about making a complete fool of myself during the lessons. Thankfully though, Stephanie is such a sweetheart and has such a contagious excitement about teaching that I completely forgot about being nervous and actually had fun. I was also thankful that she really made sure we had mastered the basics before moving on to more complicated stuff. That way, even if we totally screwed up in the middle of the dance, we always had something that we could fall back on and keep dancing. (James Clark)
Byron H. January 3, 2011
"Stephanie is a great instructor. It's clear she cares about all aspects of the dancing beyond just simple footwork, such as using the space and navigating a crowded dance floor. These are so important and she covers small, yet important stuff like this that few instructors ever think about or take time to discuss, which makes a big difference in dancing for real outside of a classroom. I wish more teachers were like her."
Andy M. December 31, 2010
"Stephanie was amazing. My wife-to-be and I had never done a real dance together before, and I personally am not a good dancer. We made an appointment at a local dance studio and were introduced to Stephanie for the first time. Stephanie listened to our song (which she had never herd before), choreographed a dance, and taught it to us despite my best efforts in telling her that i was incapable of learning it. Stephanie stuck with me and helped me figure out ways that i could remember the steps. It turned out great and it made our wedding reception even better! Stephanie also recognized that we didn't take ourselves too seriously and let us have a lot fun with the lessons. This put us at ease and really made the process fun. We were excited to tell Stephanie all about our wedding dance and to how her the video. We consider Stephanie to be a true friend of ours - not simply our instructor. "
Nasiveli S. December 30, 2010
"Steph is an awesome dance instructor! She was one of my favorite out of all instructors at Sandra Cameron's dance studio. Her methodology worked for me. I would love to take more classes with Steph in the nearest future. xoxo, Nasiveli "
Lisa M. December 29, 2010
"Stephanie is a very relaxed teacher. I am not a dancer and was relieved to have a teacher that I felt comfortable with. She will try different angles and methods in order to get you to understand the steps. "
Georgina Y. December 29, 2010
"Stephanie was our first Swing teacher, and we've taken several classes with her over the last 6 months, as well as joined her for social Swing dancing. She's a patient and attentive teacher who really goes the extra mile to make sure her students are engaged and learning at every moment. Not only that, but she included us in two dance performances, taking a lot of her own time to make sure those performances went off well and that we were prepared and confident. In short, we love her. And believe me, if she can teach my husband to dance - well, she can teach anyone!"
Madeleine M. December 29, 2010
"If you are a serious dancer, or hope to be one, Stephanie will make sure that all your parts are doing the right things at the right time! She's well versed in diverse areas of dance, she's serious and fun in class, and she will push you to get to the level of dance that you seek. I highly recommend taking a class with Steph."
Steve C. December 29, 2010
"To fully appreciate Steph, you first must know a fact about me: I am a non-dancing guy. I, in general, rarely enjoy dancing, never feel comfortable dancing, and certainly was not looking forward to "performing" in front of our wedding guests. My then-fiance, now-wife signed us up with Steph to learn a dance for our first dance. Also, you must know, we did not give Steph an easy task - we chose a song that I can confidently say no one has ever selected before as a first dance: Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Exactly, never heard of it, right? And if you have heard of it, you're thinking "Really? That song?" But that was our song, and Steph made it work. Over the next 10 or 12 weeks, she came up with an original dance that turned out amazing; all the while, the other instructors at the studio simply laughed at our song selection. She made me - the non-dancing groom-to-be - enjoy our sessions and our wedding dance. She was a pleasure to work with and I would certainly recommend her based upon our experience, her creativity, her super personality, and her knowledge of her craft. She gets the top rating in my book. I would not hesitate to use her again if my wife ever makes me do another dance!"
Liora M. December 29, 2010
"Stephanie has to be the most patient instructor ever to grace a dance floor. She has such a sure hand and eye for how to guide the student, whatever level they are. I always learn and feel better about my dancing. One couldn't ask for better."
Ora S. December 28, 2010
"Like for Stefanie, dancing is my passion, something that truly makes me happy and helps to forget about everything besides that moment when you can just let it go, dance and enjoy! It is one of the best surprises and presents in my life to have been able to get acquainted with Stefanie this fall when I moved back to NY. Her joy and love for dance, her strong personality and at the same time very friendly, easy-going manner of teaching, won't leave you indifferent, and her attention to small technique details and choreography- something that is very important if you are new on the dancing floor- will give you the right basics with which you will be able to improvise at the later stages of your learning and dancing experience. Stefanie knows how to share love for dancing with anyone! And it is contagious :-)
Can I learn to dance?
Don't laugh. I get a lot of people both men and women asking if they truly can learn to dance. My answer is that if you can walk then I can teach you to dance.
How long will it take me to learn Lindy Hop? (or any dance)
That all depends on how much time and effort you put into practicing the material you learn in class on your own and how many times a week you take class. I always suggest to combine classes with private lessons. If you become friendly with your classmates, usually you can find someone who would be willing to split the costs of private lessons. The more effort you put into your dancing the quicker you learn ... even if you are a slow learner like I was....

text: Great information and all makes sense to me now being just an end user. I have a Noritz 98% 199K BTU unit in a medium sized townhome. 2.5BA, dishwasher, 2 gas fireplaces, gas range, gas dryer, soaking tub. My unit was installed in the winter in february so lowest groundwater temps. On first use I noticed that my soaking tub turned up to full blast was only about 1/2 the pressure/fill rate of the cold water side. Also affected the water pressure of say the shower running in tandem. I turned the temp down to 115, which is far hot enough and this immediately gained pressure proving the theory of one of the posts that a decrease in deltaT would increase the amount of water that could be heated over the same amount of time when compared to 120. I would try that first off. Also being in PA it starts to heat up in the spring through summer at which point you will notice the ability to use more faucets/showers etc without losing hot water pressure. I think the moral of the story is that if you want to convert to tankless and you are lured by all the sales pitches you really need to take into account proper sizing to fit your demands. If I had to do it all over again i'd have put two in series.

UPDATED: Retoucher Kristina Sherk Does Mind-Blowing Work
Photoshelter is hosting a webinar featuring retoucher Kristina Sherk this week, and to advertise the webinar they posted an animated gif showing before and after Sherk got her hands on the image. I was shocked, as Sherk not only easily erased 10 years off the model, but even more amazingly did it without making it look fake.
Unfortunately, the webinar closed because it filled, but Photoshelter will be posting a recording of that webinar on their blog later in the week. Amazing right?
UPDATE: It has come to Fstoppers's attention that in our original article showing the outstanding retouching work of Kristina Sherk and her upcoming webinar, we neglected to put the image (and the retouching applied to it) in the proper context. Having only what was written on the PhotoShelter Blog, we lacked the back story that properly contextualizes this image. In an effort to quickly publicize the webinar being hosted by PhotoShelter and SharkPixel.com, we failed to check into the full story behind the retouching. Thus, giving our readers a fragmented frame in which to view Kristina's work through.
Sherk's original purpose behind retouching this image was strictly for educational purposes and is to be included in her upcoming instructional retouching DVD. Her intent with the image was to show the possibilities of post production, but with the stipulation that though it can be done, retouchers should take the skills learned in creating such a piece and utilize those skills in the degree they see fit for their client's needs.

The Battle of Franklin Trust announces the opening of exhibitions at Carnton Plantation and The Carter House to commemorate the Civil War Sesquicentennial. Opening on Feb. 25, each exhibit focuses on events in the Western Theater of the War in 1862.
"How the West was Won and Lost" will be on display at the Fleming Center at Carnton Plantation. "A Forced Union: The Occupation of Nashville, 1862-1865" will be featured in the visitor center at The Carter House. The day of the exhibits open – Feb. 25, 2012 – marks the 150th anniversary of the Federal Army occupying the city of Nashville.
Nashville was the first Confederate capital to surrender, thus allowing the Federal army to move troops and supplies into the state unhindered. Major engagements in Tennessee and Kentucky in 1862 include the battles of Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Perryville, and Stones River.
Using personal effects of soldiers, "How the West was Won and Lost" traces the major conflicts of 1862 with an emphasis on the local reaction. Accounts from both soldiers and civilians illustrate the confusion and fear of war in the homeland. This exhibit is the first in a series that will cover the Western Theater each year of the Sesquicentennial, culminating in the 1864 campaign that led to the Battles of Franklin and Nashville.
The effects of Federal occupation on the city of Nashville are studied in "A Forced Union," accompanied by weapons, personal items, and accounts illustrating the struggles of both the occupying army and the civilian population.
Each display will run until February 2013. The exhibitions are included with the purchase of admission at each site: $15 for adults, $12 for seniors over 65, $8 for children ages 6-12, and free for children 6 or younger. A value ticket may be purchased for $30, granting admission to Carnton Plantation, The Carter House, and Lotz House.
Accompanying the exhibitions will be lectures by renowned historians. Lecture dates and details will be announced at a future date.
The Battle of Franklin Trust is a 501(c)3 management corporation acting on behalf of Franklin's battlefield sites to contribute to a greater understanding and enrich the visitor experience of the Nov. 30, 1864 battle. It's organized for the charitable and educational purposes of preserving, restoring, maintaining and interpreting the properties, artifacts and documents related to the battle so as to preserve an important part of the nation's history.

Accident injures two by M. Jill Sundstrom A two-car accident Wednesday, one mile east of Meckling on Highway 50, injured the drivers of both vehicles.
The accident occurred at about 9 a.m.
A 1987 Chevy Celebrity, driven by Jennifer Kaiser, 23, of Mission Hill, rear-ended a 1987 Ford pickup driven by Darrel Benson, 79, of Vermillion.
�Both were east-bound and by estimation, it appeared that Benson was traveling at about 41 mph, and Kaiser was going the speed limit,� said Clay County Sheriff�s Deputy Andy Howe, who investigated the accident. �She reported that she did not see him.�
Both drivers were taken to Sioux Valley Vermillion Campus. Benson was then transferred to a Sioux City hospital. The extent of his injuries are unknown, Howe said. Kaiser was treated and released.
�She was wearing a seatbelt and I believe that directly contributed to her lack of injuries,� Howe said.
Both drivers were alone in their vehicles which received extensive damage. Traffic on Highway 50 was re-routed for about 20 minutes following the accident, which is still under investigation.

Q: The 15 mph flashing school-zone lights we see often seem to be flashing when they're not needed, and sometimes even they're not supposed to be. Can I be cited for exceeding the limit if the lights are flashing when the kids are off from school?
— Ken Clauser, South Whitehall Township
A: Erin Schulberger of Freemansburg, George King of Lower Macungie Township and Gene Sherman are among those who have driven similar queries into my email garage over the years.
"Who is responsible for these lights, and how long are they allowed to flash?" Erin wrote. "I see motorists speeding through the area often, maybe frustrated like me because the lights are on for an awful long time." Gene added, "By flashing when not needed, the signs are actually training drivers to ignore them."
The optional 15 mph school-zone speed limit can be established by municipalities if certain conditions are met, mostly involving the location of eligible streets in relation to school buildings. PennDOT approval generally is needed, though exceptions exist. Once a zone is established, static signs with the specified hours posted make the limit enforceable; flashing-light models only reinforce the message. Requests from residents often prompt officials to consider establishing the limits.
I was surprised to find that generally, the municipalities, and not the school districts, are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the flashing school-zone signs. That's the case in Allentown and Bethlehem. Easton, as far as city Public Works Director Dave Hopkins is aware, has none of the flashing-light systems.
Allentown Traffic Superintendent Ron Penrose said the city's system uses digital timers that are fairly reliable. "We go at the beginning of each school year and set them up for the whole [school] year," he said. The flashers are shut off in the summer, and should not be activated during school vacations or other "off" days, though if districts make schedule adjustments the city is unaware of, problems could crop up, he said. In addition, the timers do "drift" sometimes and need to be readjusted. That doesn't happen too often, he said, estimating that perhaps 10 such repairs are needed during the school year in Allentown. The flashing sign in today's photo, taken last August, must have been malfunctioning, Penrose said.
Flashers can seem to be activated at odd times or for lengthy periods for several reasons, Penrose said. For example, Jefferson Elementary's lights flash from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to accommodate the half-day kindergarten change-over, not kids walking home for lunch. Also, some elementary schools provide breakfast, producing seemingly early flash-time starts.
Most of Allentown's 47 lights do not have timers that automatically adjust for daylight-savings time. That number covers 22 public and parochial schools, some of which have lights on more than one street. City workers must travel to each controller to adjust the lights two extra times each year, Penrose said.
Self-adjusting timers are available, but they cost $400 each when the city bought six of them a few years ago, Penrose said. Three have been installed as replacements as older timers expired, eliminating the need for twice-yearly adjustments, but buying 41 new controllers for a systematic replacement would cost more than $16,000 — too rich a fuel mixture for the city's engine, according to Penrose. The adjustments cost taxpayers only about $170 per year, he said. At that rate, it would take nearly a century of savings to recoup the $16,000 investment.
The most recent pair of lights installed, in 2004, cost $10,300, Penrose said, estimating the sticker today at more like $15,000 to $18,000. The systems at parochial schools that closed in recent years have been turned off, but the hardware remains, at least for now, in case the kids return.
The first set of lights rolled off the assembly line and into Allentown at Dieruff in 1973, and the system has grown to the point where only two schools, Hiram Dodd and Lehigh Parkway, are without them.
PennDOT traffic-signals manger Tom Walter said the 15 mph school-zone speed limit is not permitted under state regulations "without walking students." That would seem to make some of the existing zones, particularly at suburban schools, fall outside the regs, though zones can be posted on the streets between school-bus stops and a school as well. Also, zones might have been established at a time when some kids still walked to school, and remain after the policy changed.
Ken, you should not be cited for breaking the school-zone speed limit when the lights are malfunctioning. I might be naïve, but I don't think most cops would cite you under that circumstance. If they did, any reasonable district judge should dismiss the ticket.
At the end of the road, I think the 15 mph limit is mostly a tailpipe-dream, a feel-good attempt by the political class to polish its child-safety chrome. The limit is excruciatingly slow, and it's routinely exceeded by most motorists, certainly in cases of wide streets with long sight-lines and nary a student in view. On narrow city streets where extreme caution is a no-brainer, most motorists drive at a reasonably slow, safe rate based on conditions. The usual few (who always mess it up for everyone else) pay no heed to the school-zone signs, or any signs.

The Wildcats made just four of 31 3-point attempts and shot 28.2 percent overall, and Center Point was efficient, shooting 61.5 percent on 32 fewer shots en route to a 66-50 victory in Jacksonville State University's Pete Mathews Coliseum.
Center Point (24-7) will play Ramsay (21-12) in Friday's 5:45 p.m. final. Ramsay beat Columbia 59-55 earlier Tuesday.
Fort Payne finished its season at 17-15, and the Wildcats' season ended largely because they went 20-for-71 from the field. They lost despite forcing 31 Center Point turnovers in a 32-minute game.
Dale Jackson led the way with 15 points on 5-for-15 shooting.
"We just had trouble scoring," Fort Payne coach Anthony Reid said. "They're quick. They're strong and athletic. We tried to do some screening and couldn't get open. We tried to do some cuts and couldn't get open.
"We live and die by the 3-point shot, and they just didn't fall for us today."
Center Point, meanwhile, hit 24 of 39 shots. Jeffery Hodge led the way with 19 points, and Shaquille Evans and Montego Hoskins had 12 apiece. Darreyl Purnell chipped in 11.
But the difference was how the Eagles defended the 3-point shot.
"It was going to be very risky, taking our big man, Darreyl Purnell, up from under the goal, so we worked real hard the last few days on defending without the man turning the corner," Center Point coach Rodney Chatman said. "Defend with your arms and hands up, taking away the ability to shoot."

NEW ULM - With many family and friends in the crowd for Homecoming and parents' day, the Martin Luther College volleyball team showed up to play its best volleyball as the Knights swept North Central College 25-7, 25-13, 25-21 in an Upper Midwest Athletic Conference match on Saturday.
"It really meant a lot to be able to get the win and to get everybody some playing time with their parents here watching for parents' day," MLC sophomore Heather Danell said.
MLC sophomore MacCartney Mendolla started and ended the first set with an ace as the Knights dominated the first set 25-7. The Knights put together a 16-2 run at one point in the set.

Martin Luther College's Rachel Larson (10) spikes the ball past Anna Bird (2) of North Central University Saturday at MLC in New Ulm.
The Knights picked up in the second set right where they left off in the first set as they went on to win set two 25-13.
With a number of young players on the court for the Knights in the third set, North Central gave MLC a little scare, but the Knights were able to rally and win the final set 25-21 to clinch the victory.
"We knew we couldn't overlook these guys and that they would come ready to play us today," Danell said. "[North Central] came to compete today, but we made sure not to overlook them and it showed."
Danell led the Knights' offense with 12 kills and Rebecca Engelbrecht added 10 kills of her own.
Miranda Maasz led the Knights in set assists with 25, while Jennifer Draeger had 18 digs to lead the team.
The Knights (12-10, 6-3) play again on Friday when they host the University of Minnesota, Morris.

As you've no doubt heard (and mourned about) by now, the Dodgers traded James McDonald and Andrew Lambo to the Pirates for reliever Octavio Dotel. This one really came out of nowhere, and I've having a hell of a hard time processing it.
Let's start with the slight positive outlook here: Dotel could help the bullpen. I looked at him when scouting the reliever market a few weeks ago, and I didn't hate the idea at the time:
Dotel has a little over $1m coming to him for the rest of the season and a $4.5m mutual option for 2011, but he's been surprisingly effective for someone who's been kicking around for so long. I know, the 4.89 ERA doesn't seem like much, but that's in large part due to a horrendous April (ER allowed in six games in a row). Since May 1, he's saved 16 of 19 with a 2.81 ERA and a .184 batting average against, while striking out more than 10 per 9.
The perpetually rebuilding Pirates have All-Star Evan Meek and former Dodger Joel Hanrahan ready to take over in their bullpen, so you wouldn't think they'd be dying to hold on to the 36-year-old Dotel all that badly.
I have to be honest, I don't really hate the idea of tossing Dotel in for the late innings, assuming the price was reasonable.
You'll note that last part – "assuming the price was reasonable" – but more on that in a second. Dotel was useful as a Pirate, and he's got five straight scoreless outings in which he's struck out six without a walk. He's still striking out more than 10 per 9, and he won't be asked to be the closer in Los Angeles, so if you're asking me if the bullpen is better now than it was yesterday – yes, I think it is. Dotel along with Jonathan Broxton, Hong-Chih Kuo, & Kenley Jansen (along with maybe Ronald Belisario) could be a pretty decent bullpen.
But the price seems out of whack. Dotel's okay, but he's not that good. McDonald was the two-time Dodger minor league pitcher of the year, and he doesn't turn 26 until after the season. While his attempts at starting in the bigs haven't been all that successful, he's proven himself to be a viable arm out of the bullpen. In 48 career games out of the pen, he's held opponents to a 2.71 ERA while striking out more than twice as many as he walked. Almost as importantly, he's under team control until after 2015.
And then there's Andrew Lambo, and let's get the obvious out of the way first. Yes, he was suspended for 50 games in the minors this year, but no, it wasn't for steroids or PEDs. It was for marijuana, and while I'm certainly not standing behind his intelligence, let's not pretend he was cheating or shooting up heroin, either.
There's a lot to like about Lambo, and a lot to dislike as well. Baseball Prospectus said this about him in their 2010 annual:
This 2007 fourth-rounder came into the year considered to be the best pure hitter in the system thanks to a combination of bat speed and raw strength. He was also the system's most advanced prospect for his age, reaching Double-A as a 20-year-old, and spending 2009 as the league's fourth-youngest hitting prospect. Despite a hot start at Chattanooga (.321/.383/.548 in April), Lambo soon went Arctic, batting just .243/.295/.377 the rest of the way as his plate discipline suffered and his power failed to develop. His odd reverse platoon split persisted, as he batted just .241/.299/.388 against righties. Lacking in speed, athleticism, and defensive ability, Lambo will only go so far as his bat takes him, and right now, that appears to be back to Chattanooga.
It's important to note that he doesn't even turn 22 until a few weeks from now, and lines like "best pure hitter in the system thanks to a combination of bat speed and raw strength" are quite tasty. Before his suspension this year, he was off to a great start, hitting .342/.390/.566 at AA. He's now down to .271/.325.420, but it requires a but more digging than that. He obviously started slowly in his return from that layoff, but he's warming up, with hits in 9 of his last 10 games.
Maybe, as some have noted, the defense isn't there, and if he's forced to move to 1B that would obviously hurt his chances, and it's hard to ignore his trouble staying away from the weed. Still, he's a 21-year-old who's shown success at AA, and when you pair him with a 25-year-old who's shown success at the MLB level, and you trade them for a decent-but-not-great 36-year-old reliever, it's not hard to see why the future for this team looks bleaker by the day.
ESPN's Keith Law, by the way, agrees:
The Pirates get an absolute steal of a return on Octavio Dotel by getting two out-of-favor prospects from the Dodgers, a situation where if only one pans out they still see a significant gain.
James MacDonald has a very strong minor league track record despite a fringe-average fastball when he works as a starter, but has a plus changeup and an above-average slow curve that both can miss bats and allow him to work backwards. The Dodgers threw him right into the fire in 2009, he struggled (unsurprisingly), and they gave up on him, which is the Pirates' good fortune.
Outfielder Andrew Lambo just came off a 50-game suspension for drug use — hey, it doesn't make him a bad guy — and he's an indifferent outfielder, but he's got the potential for an above-average offensive profile. He is strong, with good feel for the bat but the plate discipline of a guy who hasn't played much and was handled strangely before the suspension. There's enough potential there given his age (21) and inexperience that the Pirates are right to want to gamble on him.
As for Dotel, he throws mostly fastballs and doesn't have the plus command you want to see in a guy who's coming with the same thing four pitches out of five. He's a fine guy to have in your middle relief corps but no one for whom you want to give up two young players, even if you've already given up on them yourself.
Can't argue with any of that.
Here's what really bothers me, though. In the last few days, the Dodgers have traded James McDonald, Blake DeWitt, Andrew Lambo, Lucas May, Kyle Smit, Elisaul Pimentel, and Brett Wallach.
They've acquired Ted Lilly, Ryan Theriot, Scott Podsednik, and Octavio Dotel – basically, a decent but not vital starter, a lousy middle infielder, a mediocre outfielder, and a decent veteran reliever, and all over 30.
Now, most of the baseball community has spent an enormous amount of time lately laughing at the Diamondbacks and Astros for the seemingly meager hauls they pulled in for Dan Haren and Roy Oswalt. You're telling me that some combination of the players the Dodgers just traded couldn't have pulled in one of those guys? Alternatively, is there really anyone who wouldn't have preferred Haren or Oswalt rather than the collection of mediocre, over-30 veterans they just pulled in?
Yet despite all the moves, the offense – the biggest problem – didn't get improved, and arguably was made worse. That's supposed to help propel the team to October how, exactly? Really, what a terrible day all around.
Back to the Lilly deal for a second, this tweet from the Chicago Sun-Times isn't going to make you feel better:
Lilly says not "overly excited about it," despite looking forward to battling for a playoff spot.
Nor will the fact that urbandictionary.com actually has a name for Theriot's base-running exploits:
TOOTBLAN. Acronym for Thrown Out On The Basepaths Like A Nincompoop. Baseball statistic invented for Ryan Theriot of the Chicago Cubs, for his penchant for ill-advised steal attempts and general lack of skill running bases.
Theriot's current TOOTBLAN number is 19.
That was popularized by Cubs blog Wrigleyville23, who really ought to know about such things.

Kelly Clarkson Reveals 30-Pound Weight Loss, New Figureby Free Britney at .
Much is being made about Kelly Clarkson's newer, thinner figure.
Now the singer herself is opening about it in the new Us Weekly.
Kelly dropped an impressive 30 pounds by working out five days per week and adopting a portion-controlled diet ... funny how that seems to work.
Check out her new body, and take that, Quicktrim.
Clarkson dropped the excess weight over the course of the past six months, with a source saying she "feels better about herself than she ever has."
The singer, who remains 10 pounds shy of her goal weight, says that her boyfriend Brandon Blackstock helped inspire her to get back into shape.
"Brandon is the first guy ever who tells her how beautiful and sexy she is. She wants to look good for him," a source told the celeb news publication.
Whatever her motivation, she looks outstanding.

Kelly is beautiful inside and out. She is so genuine and will tell you straight out so there is no doubt what her feelings are, but she does it with a filter. She isn't mean about it. It does make a huge difference when you are with someone who builds you up vs. tearing you down. It is amazing how your confidence will grow with such support. The only thing that concerns me is that she said she wants to look good for him. She needs to want to look good for herself first and then him. If it's not for her, she will more than likely gain it back.

FAQ means frequently asked questions. On other sites you see general questions answered in a FAQ section.
There's no question and no answer here. It's just a guide how to post system specs. So why is it called a FAQ?
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 810 @ 3250MHz | RAM: Kingmax 2x2GB DDR2 800 @ 833MHz| MoBo: MSI K9A2 CF v1.0 (BIOS: 1.D)| GPU: Asus HD 6850 1024MB (DirectCu) @ 850/1150MHz | Display: L24FHD | PSU: PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad | OS: MS Windows 7 Pro x64 CPU: Pentium 4 Northwood S478 @ 3200MHz | RAM: 1,5GB DDR 400| MoBo: Gigabyte GA-8S661FXMP-RZ | GPU: ASUS Radeon X1650 Pro 256MB | Display: Dimarson 19" CRT | PSU: Noname 400W | OS: changing twice every week...
Maybe because the most frequently asked questions are what are your system specs and what have you tried to remedy your problem.

Well, that's not what people come here to ask for. The FAQ section is for new members, not for grumpy old ones, like us.
Ya,I had to laugh at that one.
The FAQ at the top is called FAQ, because I have not yet figured out if it can be changed. I don't think it can, though.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
- reading group guide
- 15awards
- customer reviews
Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship—the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.

ONE SUMMER NIGHT I FELL ASLEEP, HOPING THE WORLD would be different when I woke. In the morning, when I opened my eyes, the world was the same. I threw off the sheets and lay there as the heat poured in through my open window.
My hand reached for the dial on the radio. "Alone" was playing. Crap, "Alone," a song by a group called Heart. Not my favorite song. Not my favorite group. Not my favorite topic. "You don't know how long . . ."
I was fifteen.
I was bored.
I was miserable.
As far as I was concerned, the sun could have melted the blue right... see more

text: Intercultural Studies Intercultural majors are empowered to minister across cultural and ethnic boundaries. Through the study of Scripture and development of ministry skills, students in this program are prepared to live out the great commission as disciples of Christ. "Giving and receiving help in times of difficulty and struggle is the hallmark of a Christian university, and it is the reason I teach at Cornerstone University." Phil Bustrum, Ph.D., Professor of Christian education What can I do with this major? Graduates serve in a wide variety of places and environments from ministry in the inner-city to overseas ministry around the world. You have the opportunity to engage in many services, develop programs and plant churches, work with youth, orphans and the poor, and act as community leaders. What are some interesting classes I may take? REL 243 Intercultural Mandate IDS 200 Religious Communication & Culture CMI 311 Evangelism & Discipleship Where can I do my internship? Students can do their internship in any cross-cultural situation. Students have completed internships overseas in places like Uganda, Romania, Haiti, China, and Ecuador, as well as in U.S. cities like Grand Rapids, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City. How long does my internship have to be? The length of the internship varies from two weeks to a full year depending on the student, the opportunity, and the situation. Some students choose to do it during summer break or J-term. Others incorporate it into their regular school schedule and do it during the semester. What financial aid is available for intercultural studies students? Besides the financial aid that is offered through the financial aid office, intercultural studies students can apply for specialized scholarship which are reserved for those students desiring to enter some phrase of cross-cultural or missionary work. See the financial aid office for more details. Why do Intercultural majors have a Bible major in their program? The Bible is the foundation of all we do in discipling the nations. Understanding the Biblical story and knowing how to communicate is vital for cross-cultural ministry whether it is here in America or overseas. With a Bible major, Intercultural students graduate from Cornerstone University with a knowledge of the Word of God enabling them to minister in any cross-cultural situation. What are grads doing now? Megan Blough - Missionary, South AfricaJim Kast-Keat - fifty6 Pastor, Mars Hill Bible Church

I still remember the conversation I had eight years ago with a CVB exec from a small Midwest city. We were at a PCMA reception and he was explaining why he had committed all of the bureau's advertising dollars to a particular (competitive) meetings publication. It wasn't that the publication was a smarter buy for his destination, he admitted. Actually, he was induced by the incentive the magazine was offering: If a bureau spent x-dollars in advertising per year, the CEO got to participate for free in a golf outing to Scotland. It was a great opportunity to golf and socialize with other bureau chiefs, he told me quite sincerely.
The conversation stuck with me all these years because it came to illustrate for me the worst stereotype about CVB execs: that they were a fraternity of good ol' boys whose business decisions had way too much to do with golfing and buddies. I am happy to say that I can't imagine having that conversation today. Indeed, the world of CVB management has changed dramatically in recent years.
For one thing, there are more women in top positions at large bureaus. This wasn't the case when I wrote the article "Women and CVBs" for this magazine back in 1996. One example of this new demographic: Our eight-person CVB roundtable this summer included the first females to head bureaus in Chicago, Baltimore, and Salt Lake City.
For another thing, bureaus are under intense scrutiny these days when it comes to how they spend public dollars for travel and entertainment, as our cover story details. Partly this has to do with the budget deficits many cities and states are grappling with. Partly is has to do with Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, aimed to curb corporate accounting abuses in the wake of Enron and other financial scandals. These days, transparency in spending and accounting is the name of the game, whether you're a corporation or a nonprofit CVB.
But there are signs that the pendulum may be swinging too far. Even legitimate business entertainment expenditures, like putting on a golf tournament for potential customers, are being questioned. And some bureaus are dealing with major budget cuts — a shortsighted move by elected officials. As Deborah Sexton, CEO/president of the Chicago Tourism Bureau, points out in our cover story: "The last thing you want to do when you have a deficit is cut funding for revenue producers. We are revenue producers. The sad thing is that many, many people don't realize that. This has to change."

Exponent v2.3.0
Latest News
What's in store for the next version? (v2.3.0)Apr 8, 2014
(Updated 11 Apr 2014) It's been a while since the last update to Exponent...which was the plan. Several users were having to spend an inordinate amount of time continually updating their sites to the latest version, so we've slowed down our version updates from monthly to between quarterly and semi-annually (every 3 to 6 months). Hopefully, the 2014 Wish List article whetted your appetite for what will actually hit the streets later this spring. Because we'll be implementing MANY new features, we've also decided to bump minor versions. Here's some of the things you can look forward to in v2.3.0. ...Read More
Switched to New Forum SoftwareJan 29, 2014
We've experienced a LOT of forum spamming lately, so much so that we changed some things which inadvertently disallowed new user registrations...then when fixing that issue and requiring admin approval prior to account activation, we were overwhelmed with new account registrations. Luckily, all those 'tests' prevented most if not all spam from posting to the forum. However our old forum software (PhpBB3) simply doesn't seem to have the tools to combat this form of attack. Therefore we've moved to using Vanilla Forums software. ...Read More

The code is already fixed in the 'master' git repo and the patch file can be downloaded from sourceforge.net here. In addition to the fixes found in patches #1, #2, and #3, this patch fixes these issues: ...Read More

More About Less
Back in version 2.0.8 we added the LESS stylesheet compiler to Exponent. LESS is a dynamic stylesheet language which extends CSS with dynamic behavior such as variables, mixins, operations and functions. This functionality makes it much easier to create flexible stylesheets since redundant styles and style variations can be handled by the compiler/server instead of the designer. Though this addition to Exponent was primarily to support Twitter-Bootstrap, its use is increasing especially beginning with v2.2.3. ...Tweet

North Dakota girl gets her make-a-wish grantedGrand Forks, ND (WDAY TV) -- Today, a moment of sheer joy for a small-town, North Dakota girl battling a life-threatening illness.
By: Kayla Strayer, WDAZ, WDAY
Grand Forks, ND (WDAY TV) -- Today, a moment of sheer joy for a small-town, North Dakota girl battling a life-threatening illness.
Aubrianna Hillard's love for a major motion picture is now reality, thanks to Macy's and Make-A-Wish.
Beverly Hilliard/Aubrianna's Grandma: "This is so incredible just to let Aubrey have a special day."
Christmas came early for a 4-year-old North Dakota girl..nicknamed princess.
Macy's and the Make-A-Wish Foundation teamed up to get Aubrianna Hillard a tank filled with colorful fish -- straight out of the movie Finding Nemo.
Grandma Hilliard: "She really relaxes to that and you know it gives her good eye movement because she can see the fish swimming around. That's so incredible for her to have that experience."
Aubrianna was born with a rare condition that causes her seizures, developmental delays and the need for a feeding tube. She's also unable to talk.
Grandma Hilliard: "Things are a little tougher for her, we try to focus on what she can do rather than what she can't."
And now she'll be able to do a little more...
Grandma Hilliard: So she's going to have a therapeutic chair so she can sit and look at her fish tank.
Crystal Bailly-Dale/Macy's Manager: "Macy's is just trying to encourage people to be generous and compassionate and look at the holidays as a time to do all of these things."
The little girl with big blue eyes also got to meet the big guy himself...
Bailly-Dale: "It's heart warming, it brings a tear to your eye and it makes you feel good."
Grandma Hilliard: "To see her get her wish and to be treated like the special little girl that she is it's so very incredible, and she definitely deserves all of it, and more."
Children can drop off letters to Santa at their any Macy's store. For every letter received, Macy's donates $1 to the Make A Wish Foundation.
