New Roo! & Tire question
Posted 08 November 2012 - 04:59 AM
My thought is I would like to put a slightly narrower tire on it than the 205/55 R16 that are on it. Would that be possible? My hope is that it would help the rolling resistance and help with the fuel economy a bit.
My current Legacy has 14 rims. Is it possible to use them on the new Impreza or is that too much of a stretch? I'm thinking it probably is.
Posted 08 November 2012 - 04:01 PM
You 14" wheels will prolly not fit your Impreza is my guess. The smaller wheels will not fit over the brake caliper on what is designed for the 16" wheel.

Enjoy the Impreza.
Only if it 'needs' tires would it make sense to change. You'll not make up the difference by buying new ones b4 the old ones are worn out. Spend the $ on making sure your 'new to you' car's maintenance is up to date.
Info online:
.....compared the fuel economy of the lowest and highest rolling resistance T-speed rated all-season tires. We placed a fuel meter in a Chevrolet Cruze and measured the fuel consumed over our highway fuel economy test route. Results were revealing: a 1.9 mpg savings using the low rolling resistance tires in our steady-state highway circuit. That amounts to a savings of $80 a year, based on driving 12,000 miles and gasoline costing $4.00 per gallon.

What about with things like going through heavy rain or snow? I drove my new roo home last night through heavy rain and it definitely handles differently from my Legacy. It does not seem to quite stick to the pavement the same and I felt a bit more hydroplaning than I would have felt in the Legacy. Is that a product of a wider tire on a lighter vehicle, or just the fact that it's a smaller, lighter car?

Just run the recommend tire size and pressure and do the most important thing for max MPG...Drive sensibly! (i can't do it:-p)
Posted 09 November 2012 - 10:05 AM
When I went with slightly bigger tires my gas mileage did decrease slightly, but I think it was under 1%. I'll try and pull out the records and calculate the average today.
Posted 09 November 2012 - 10:12 AM
I don't know if it save's money, but we have relatively cheap power, 5 cents a KWH, so I don't care.
Posted 09 November 2012 - 10:55 AM
Now I just have to decide what goodies I want to get for the new roo. Any suggestions on where to look for fun extras? I'm not talking rice-rocket stuff, more like nice external/internal touches to add a little uniqueness to the hatchback.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 08:23 PM
"Tires – narrow tires were selected, and tire inflation pressure was raised to 60 psi to help reduce aerodynamic drag."
Posted 10 November 2012 - 10:01 PM
I should have mentioned I don't plan to buy new tires right off. I was thinking more for when the current tires need replacement.
Now I just have to decide what goodies I want to get for the new roo. Any suggestions on where to look for fun extras? I'm not talking rice-rocket stuff, more like nice external/internal touches to add a little uniqueness to the hatchback.
Maybe a scangauge.

One of my favorite tasks before moving was cleaning out our house as we started to pack. Call me crazy but I've always been a very organized person. Some people are known for keeping everything they've ever received while others find joy in purging unused or outdated items. I would fall under the latter category.
About a month before the move, I started sorting through our belonging so we wouldn't have to move any unnecessary items. Like most people, our closets were full of unused clothing and the perfect place to focus my attention.
I know it's common for females to have a lot of clothes but I'd like to think I do a pretty good job of keeping my closet under control. My husband's closet, on the other hand, was a different story. He never gets rid of anything and therefore probably has more clothes than I do. (Don't tell him I said that.) Due to a variety of hobbies, he has a wide range of clothing appropriate for all seasons. T-shirts are no exception. You wouldn't believe the amount of t-shirts I found overflowing the shelves.
I started to make piles of the ones I had never seen him wear and the ones to be thrown out. This wasn't the first time I've tried to cut back his t-shirt collection though. Every time I have tried I have been greeted with disapproval. Apparently, years of various sports and a passion for Harley Davidson had given these faded shirts sentimental value. Really?
I had no idea a bunch of worn out cotton would mean so much to him. Frustrated because I couldn't get rid of as much as I wanted, I finally decided to offer up my sewing expertise and see if he would like me to make a t-shirt quilt out of them. That way we could clear up some closet space but still keep the memories.
For those of you who haven't seen one, the ever-popular t-shirt quilt uses the fronts and/or backs of t-shirts instead of regular fabric for the blocks. He agreed to the idea so I began piecing together the front of the quilt. I selected 30 different shirts for a 5 by 6 block quilt and was able to include all of the t-shirt graphics in 15" by 15" blocks. The color palette took little planning since the majority of his shirts were conveniently black, gray and white.
Our office, now makeshift sewing room, was covered with shirts and fabric when a man came to set up our internet. He was impressed I even owned a sewing machine. I suppose you don't see a Singer sitting next to a Mac very often.
My mad straight-stitching skills come from years of random 4-H projects I made when I was little. My mom taught me how to sew and quilt and still answers my novice questions when needed. I'm glad a simple skill has become a hobby I can still enjoy and put to good use for others. The quilt ended up being rather therapeutic for me during a busy time in our lives. The binding took longer than expected but I still managed to have it complete by Christmas.
What started as fall cleaning ended up being a fun winter project for me as well as a great gift for my husband. Now he has something he can use and keep for years. More importantly, the shirts and memories should be safe from me when it comes time for spring cleaning.

Hiring by U.S. small businesses was up slightly during February but paycheck size was slightly down, according to the latest Small Business Scorecard from SurePayroll.
The Scorecard shows month-over-month hiring rose 0.04 percent while wages fell 0.2 percent. According to the year-over-year data, both hiring and wages are down slightly nationally and regionally. Optimism among small business owners remains about the same, however, at 66 percent – compared to 65 percent in January.
The SurePayroll Optimism Survey found that 50 percent of small business owners plan to invest in technology during the next six to 12 months to improve efficiency, better manage customer relations and increase sales. They reported their technology upgrades will focus on business management, advertising and marketing, and back office infrastructure.
"The small business economy seems to be playing out like a scene from the movie Groundhog Day. Month-over-month it's been a looping rerun but then at end of the scene there's a small positive change – a minor up tick in hiring. This at least is a positive sign that a shift may come," said SurePayroll President and CEO Michael Alter. "Rising gas prices are a looming cliff hanger that could kill our Hollywood ending since every dollar spent at the gas pump could mean a dollar not spent on Main Street. Relief at the pump may be critical to seeing even a slight positive trend continue."

I hate breaking out the calculator to compare 600kg to a ton. Relative increase, I guess.
Wait, so what's a megagram? Or is that 1024kg?
I should have put a smiley
But I do live in the US and so I really wonder why people use "ton" in supposedly metric-standardized countries? I mean, I know that 1000kg is sort-of close to the old 2000lbs, but it is really ambiguous and there is the perfectly good Mega. At the very least, it should be spelled "tonne", right?
A ton (known as a "long ton" in the US) is 2240lb i.e. 1016kg.
In Commonwealth countries, to make things easier to calculate, a ton is now generally taken as 1000kg.
In America, to make things easier to calculate, a ton is now generally taken as 2000lb i.e. 907kg.
The spelling is now largely irrelevant since nobody really remembers the old system that well. All official or scientific measurements are in kilograms anyway, ton and tonne are both just colloquial, it never needs to be precisely disambiguated in th
Don't forget that it's also a colloquialism for 100mph!
1 ton = 1000kg, welcome to the metric system.
Not so fast. Do you mean a British ton [wikipedia.org], US ton [wikipedia.org], or metric ton(ne)? [wikipedia.org] And, for more confusion, see that there is also a French ton [st-and.ac.uk].
Okay. I should stop being facetious and get my 7 hours of sleep (relative to current Earth's rotation period - has to be said, because it is slowing down).
How many stones [wikipedia.org] is that?
google to the rescue [google.co.uk]
s/ton/tonne/; # makes it right with the story.
"Tonne" is, I believe, always metric: 1000 kg (aprox 2,200 lb, or 1.1 ton (or 1.0 long ton).
This is almost the weight of half a cord of seasoned oak firewood, or half a cord of green fir. Which has only a chewbackan meaning in this context. But it does leaven the pedantry a bit.
Need more coffee...
it's the weight of 1 cubic metre of water.
What I really hate is when TFA is misquoted in the summary, now I see that Jenkins said "tonne" which IS metric. D-oh!
It's probably for dividing up plots and things. It's nice to be able to evenly divide things into other things. Without the "funny measurements" you end up with lots of fractions, which were much less easy to deal with in the days when a calculator was a person, and most normal people were lucky if they could read.
Note also that an acre is 10 square chains, and 10 acres is a square furlong.
What is a mile? It's a least-common-multiple(ish) of several smaller measurements which happens to be a convenient size for people traveling on foot. The km is also a convenient size for foot travel, but you can only divide it by 2s and 5s without resorting to fractions.
What is a mile?
The word "mile" comes from mille, latin for thousand (just like the milli- prefix). A mile is 1000 paces of the Roman legions (a pace is 2 steps). At least that is the basis for the general distance- the exact amount depended on who decided to define what exactly it meant (such as the English defining it as the above post points out).
It's nice to be able to evenly divide things into other things.
No! Everything must be multiples of ten!
Long live METRIC TIME!
"At the tone, the time will be 73 after 95... "
Then, with time sorted out, we can start tackling the metric calendar... 10 months, with 100 days (10 weeks).
Sure, you'll have fewer birthdays in your lifetime, but its well worth the benefits of a 1,000-days per year calendar.
Actually, 5280 feet is very easy to calculate with - it's evenly divisible by all sorts of things. 5280 = 2^5 x 3 x 5 x 11
If only they'd picked 4,620 feet, we'd really be in the pink. 4620 = 2^2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11.
Greenbird weighs 600kg when it's standing still,' says Jenkins. 'But at speed, the effect of the wings make her weigh just over a ton.'
I doubt they're going fast enough for relativistic effects to increase their effective mass by 400 kg.
Weight and mass are different things. Their usage is correct.
Weight and mass are different things. Their usage is correct.
Their usage is dead wrong. Weight is the effect of gravity on mass. The vehicle doesn't "weigh" more at speed - the effect of gravity on it hasn't changed. It just generates a down-force from the wing. To say that it weighs more is about as accurate as saying your weight changes as you jump up and down on a scale, or that an airplane weighs less than nothing when it's flying.
Since energy can be converted to mass, they would have to be going at a large percentage of c to actually "weigh" more.
Since energy can be converted to mass, they would have to be going at a large percentage of c to actually "weigh" more.
That's a non sequitur. Fast moving bodies do not have a higher "effective mass" because some of the energy is converted into mass. It's just an interpretation of the fact that as you approach c it takes more and more energy to accelerate. Another interpretation is that the mass is constant and the momentum does not depend linearly on velocity, but approaches infinity as the velocity approaches c.
Their usage is dead wrong. Weight is the effect of gravity on mass.
This has been pointed out already, but bears repeating: That is not so. Weight is what a scale measures. Weight is quite literally the value you get when you weigh something.
Weight is what a scale measures. Weight is quite literally the value you get when you weigh something.
So if I stand on a scale, but I'm also lifting up some of my weight on the doorframe, I suddenly weigh less? I don't think so, Clyde.
People would quite accurately point out that I was cheating, that my "weight" did not change.
Ditto with the claim that the vehicle gains 400 pounds of weight at speed - it gets additional down-force. Force != weight, or in this case, downforce != weight. Get over it. If
You really are a tiresome pedant. Let it go already.
You really are a tiresome pedant. Let it go already.
Seems you can't take your own advice
Look, the article is wrong, and it perpetuates a common misunderstanding, one that, oddly enough, seems to be more common today than it was a few decades ago. This is probably more due to the dumbing down of the school curriculum, and people embracing the "don't wanna know" mind-set - the same mind-set, btw, that gives us creationists, Intelligent Design, "dinosaurs walked with humans," "houses never go down
So if I stand on a scale, but I'm also lifting up some of my weight on the doorframe, I suddenly weigh less? I don't think so, Clyde.

Yes, you would weigh less. However, when people weigh themselves, they are actually interested in their mass and not their weight, even though casual English is not exact about the usage there. That is why people would point out that you are cheating - you are ruining the approximation of mass as weight.
Not quite. The downward force when it is stationary is 600gN, the downward force when it is moving is 1000gN. The downward force due to gravity, also known as the weight, in both cases is 600gN. The mass in both cases is 600Kg. Neither the weight, not the mass, change. The mass could only change as a result of things being added to or removed from the vehicle, or as the result of relativistic effects (which are present at the recorded speed, but not significant enough to be measured). The weight could change if the mass changed, or if the vehicle climbed far enough from the centre of the Earth for the inverse-square attraction to be reduced (again, this is unlikely to happen unless it raced up a steep mountain; g varies a bit, but not enough to be worth bothering about, over the surface of the Earth). The downward force can change for a wide variety of reasons, but in this case due to a pressure differential caused by air moving more quickly over the underside of the stabilisers.
Note: In this post, g is used as little-g, the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth, while g is the SI unit gram. This is not quite standard notation; they should both be represented by the same symbol, which is just plain confusing.
Damn dude.
They used weight to describe a force, which puts them lightyears worth of miles ahead of every other tech-writer that makes it into the popular press.
AFAIK downforce is a very common term in F1 racing, which was mentioned early and often in TFA. On this planet the Greenbird weighs about 600kg. At any speed.
Parent post almost has it right. And is close enough for nearly any high school or undergraduate work.
There is a difference between weight and mass. Mass is intrinsic to the object being measured; weight has to do with the forces acting upon the object, which is often just the force of gravity, but sometimes involves other forces. And that's the part that parent post misses. Weight has always been a matter of human perception, and most especially of the human capacity to imagine a perception that has not
Funny, but doesn't the mass decrease due to relativistic effects?

It is only a matter of time before the record is broken again, both for Class C (as the links says, probably soon to be held by this boat) and for overall, currently held by a kiteboarder. The difference between what happens on water and on land is really dramatic. The fastest boats are remarkably slower than the fastest cars.
BTW, it wasn't *particularly* windy during the record breaking attempts. Too much wind usually means gusty conditions and overpowering. What they needed was the right wind direction re
I'm not a physicist, so there's a lot I don't understand. For something to go over 100mph powered only by wind, wouln't the wind itself have to be over 100mph as well?
How do you go faster than the force that is propelling you?
This craft reminds me of the early Michael Moorcock SF story The Ice Schooner [geocities.com]:
Although part of the general repackaging of Moorcock's fantasy output around the Eternal Champion theme, The Ice Schooner is not really that closely linked to the other novels. Having a hero and a quest is not really enough; there are few novels in the genre by any author which would share these common elements.
The much revised novel is set in a future Ice Age, so severe that oceans of ice cover almost the entire surface of the Earth. On these frozen wastes sail great ship-like wind powered sledges, hunting the land whales evolved from the sea creatures of our own time. Konrad Arflane is captain of such a vessel fallen on hard times until he rescues a dying man out on the remote ice. He turns out to be the ruler of an important city, but more relevantly to the plot, he gives Arflane a quest, to find the fabled lost city of New York, a vision, in his daughter, and a ship, a great ice schooner, to captain.
Much revised? What, are there multiple versions of the book?
And FWIW, whoever wrote that isn't too clued into the eternal champion theme - among other things, New York was clearly Tanelorn, definitely making The Ice Schooner yet another version of the eternal champion theme.
If you click the link, you see that it was indeed revised.
And I think their description was apt. TIS is indeed not that closely linked to the Eternal Champion cycle, except in some packaging, as that review says. I read most of all the other incarnation books (including Jerry Cornelius), and I agree with that description.
The Greenbird is two vehicles: a land craft and an ice craft, powered only by the wind.
... The project's aim was to break both the land and ice world speed records. On March 26, 2009, the Ecotricity Greenbird set a new world land speed record for wind powered vehicles of 126.1 mph. The team hopes to both better that new record, and continue to work toward breaking the ice record in Winter 2009/10.
Should be interesting to see how it goes on ice. Watch out, IceMice. The publici
"Struck me as the way to go for places like Chicago (not called the windy city for no reason)"
Actually, Chicago got the moniker "the windy city" not for the weather. It was to describe its politics.
Actually there is some debate on that one. While it could refer to the weather it is just as likely due to the politicians (all the hot air). I will refer you to wikipedia.
I had an Arrow class iceboat and regularly got over 70 mph. These speeds are pedestrian for iceboats. The DN class and Arrow class really don't take aerodynamics very far having completely open cockpits. Now the Skeeter class takes aerodynamics quite seriously having an almost enclosed cockpit and many other aerodynamic features. Its drag is quite low.
Actually, an iceboat was clocked at 143 mph and this was many years ago. The potential for impressive speeds on ice is pretty big.
For more information go
Yes the sport has a reputation for some spectacular accidents. Where I sailed, on Lake St. Claire (Michigan), there was this BIG old iceboat called "Buckaroo". It was so big that it got away with jumping small cracks in the ice. (A sure recipe for disaster.) The end for it was the skipper got complacent and tried to jump a crack that was too large. The result was predictable... 60 foot iceboat to matchsticks in one step. There were 4 people on it at the time and although there were no fatalities, the
I also wonder if a rigid wing would work well on smaller sailboats. It might help more people use sail for travel where they now use motor launches. I don't think it's going to take over waterskiing any time soon, but that would be cool too.
A rigid wing would be lethal in a harbor, as you can't take it down easily, and if the wind changed, suddenly you have a boat that is attempting to move and a boom swinging about.
Another large bonus of a fabric sail is that it will flap when my sail isn't set correctly or when I am sailing to much into the wind. A rigid sail wouldn't.
Fabric is lighter, and I assure you, the last thing you want is a lot of weight high up. It makes the boat a lot more likely to roll, and you already have a large surface area

You're assuming that it can't be opened to let wind through or something.

I hear you on the weight thing, I suppose it would only work for heavily keeled vessels (for their size anyway.)

You still have a large flat object longer than the width of the boat that will always orientate itself to the wind. A huge weather vane in effect. Take a look at a harbor and see how boats are tied up. Right next to each other. You are not going to make many friends if you keep smashing the adjacent boats shroud.
A rigid wing would be lethal in a harbor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbosail [wikipedia.org]
The Cousteau folks seem to have survived it.
Question is: If it takes a 40 foot high wing to move a 1 ton car, how big of a wing would you need to move a 50,000 ton container ship?
I think a better question is: Why do you need to move a ship that big on sail power alone? While it would be cool to do so, using wind power in conjunction with conventional engines improves efficiency reducing fuel consumption between 10 and 35 percent [cnet.com], which is a good start.
A 160-square meter kite sail is expected to reduce the diesel consumption of a 10,000-tonne ship by 20%.
http://www.reuters.com/article/inDepthNews/idUSL1548100520071217?sp=true [reuters.com]
The exact same size of wing...
After all, you said nothing about the speed. Wait long enough and the ship itself will move in the wind.
he also shows a nice theoretical construction that allows one to accelerate to any speedy (assuming that the universe is Newtonian).
Even to a Gonzales?
There's still some debate as to whether traveling on ice or land will be faster.
I think if it weighs a ton, I could probably answer this question...
...there can be no public or private virtue unless the foundation of action is the practice of truth. - George Jacob Holyoake

Australian book spotlights Discovery
The Discovery High School at Newton-Conover is being featured in an Australian published book.
Two years ago, Discovery High opened up its Wi-Fi to students as a way to enhance the learning environment. Wi-Fi is a wireless internet connection that is available to anyone with a supporting technological device. Some Wi-Fi connections, such as that of a school, require a login to access the Internet through the wireless network. By opening up Wi-Fi to students, Discovery High allows students to connect to the Internet with devices such as tablets, laptops, iPods and smart phones.
Discovery High student Eli Ellis said there are a lot of ways he uses technology — and Wi-Fi — in the classroom.
"We get on Edmodo and Engrade, and we get on blogs and websites that relate to the topics discussed in class," Ellis said.
To read more of this story, pick up the print edition of Catawba County's community newspaper, The Observer News Enterprise, at newsstands throughout the county.

NASA To Encrypt All of Its Laptops 226
pev writes "After losing another laptop containing personal information, NASA wants to have all of its laptops encrypted within a month's time with an intermediate ban on laptops containing sensitive information leaving its facilities. Between April 2009 and April 2011 it lost or had stolen 48 'mobile computing devices.' I wonder how long it will be before other large organizations start following suit as a sensible precaution?"

In each zone, there is exactly the same number and the same types of rares:
-Pandaren Monks - while killing them, u have to watch out for 3 of their abilities -
-Spinning Crane Kick - run out while the npc is casting this. Its not interruptible, and will kill u fast if u sand in the 'circle' of ability. The npc is however stunnable while it casts the spell, so if u have any long-distance stuns u can stop the spinning.
-Healing mists - interruptible heal. Do not let them cast this, as they can top themselves basically with Healing Mists.
-Chi Burst - if u run too far away (like sprinting to dodge Spinning Kick) the panda will cast this spell, might even take u down with 1 hit. So, do not run further then 15yards from mob.
-Hozen Warriors
-Bananarang - The hozen will spin around while casting this, and then release a huge banana in the direction they were facing before the spin. Its deadly, avoid as possible.
-Going Bananas - Npc will start randomly jumping all around the place u tank it. U cant really think of a way to dodge his jumps (if u get hit by him 'landing' u will get quite deadly damage) so just move away, but not too far to not cause him to reset.
-Toss Filth- The hozen will constantly cast this on u, increasing the dmg u take. U just have to kill him as fast as u only can:)
Jinyu Casters
-Rain Dance - a dangerous cast, the npc causes a huge balls of water to fly around him and hit the ground - if they hit u, u might even get oneshotted. U cant stand in 1 place, simply run around and avoid the splashes, also u can stun the mob while he casts it - only way to stop him, as the cast itself is not interruptible.
-Torrent- It deals % damage, u cannot allow the mob to cast it. As interruptable, both the casting and later the channeling, u have to pay attention and silence the mob when its time.
-Water bolt- Also interruptible minor dmg skill, but i would advise u to save a sure interrupt for the torrent. This bolt can be easly outhealed or taken untill the mob is dead.
The Klaxxi bugs
-Blade Flurry- powerful frontal attack. Make sure u run on the side or behind the mob, while he casts it.
-Tornado- Mob will summon tornado right under your feet. At first it will appear as small and barley visible, but after like 2 seconds it will turn into huge tornado. Once the npc is casting, stay in 1 spot, THEN run the hell away. The tornado will not move after u, but will spin around and getting hit by it hurts a lot.
-Windsong- For 6 seconds the NPC is immune to roots and has increased movement speed and attack speed. Focus on two other abilities, for this one just use some surviving cooldown if necessary.
Yaungol Warriors
-Bellowing Rage- A simple dispelable enrage, increasing the mobs dmg done but slowing him.
-Rushing Charge - If u start from far pull, he will probably charge and stun you for 2 seconds.
-Stomp - A stomp u have to simply run out of, it doesnt have big radius but deals quite painful dmg.
The Saurok
-Grappling Hook- If u run too far, he will grip u back to himself.
-Vanish- The saurok vanishes - in this case u have to AOE like mad in place he disappeard, to throw him out of stealth. Else, after few seconds he will get behind you and use...
-Smoked Blade- Which in most cases can be deadly. U can use some surviving cooldown as tank, but this ability clears health of most of the dpsers.
-Vicious Rend- A bleed u will have on urself for msot of the fight. Stacks, so its again about fast kill of the rare.
Mogu Casters
-Shadowbolt- Interruptable, silence/kick as much as u can.
-Voidcloud -will create a shadow circle under ur feet, dealing quite much damage. when the npc casts it, run a few yards away, so the cloud will not block you from caster if you are melee.
Mogu Warriors:
-Summon Quilen- A Quilen companion assists the mogu. Kill it if possible.
-Devastating Arc- The Mogu will cast a huuge radius aoe cleave in front of himself. Make sure to run BEHIND him, as it reaches also on the sides. Do not tank him on a hill or mountain, as often this ability will bug and reach even behind him.
-Titanic Stregth- A slight enrage.

Elenore Ellie Schofield
July 13, 1924 - March 6, 2013
Elenore Ellie Hazel Schofield passed away at Horton Plaza in Medford, Ore. on the morning of Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at the age of 88.
Ellie was born July 13, 1924, in Spokane, Wash. She graduated from Lewis and Clark High School. She told many stories of her childhood memories, growing up during the Great Depression. Her love of music began as she traded housecleaning chores for piano lessons from a neighbor. She continued to play the piano all her life. She enjoyed tap dancing and performed in a small singing group called Two Chicks and a Chap around the Spokane area. After high school she worked as a secretary at Fairchild Air Force Base and for the Bureau of Land Management.
On October 21, 1950, she married Robert LaValley. Together, they greatly enjoyed deep-sea fishing and skiing. They had a child, Linda Marie in 1953. Robert passed away unexpectedly in 1956.
On February 10, 1960, she married Donald Schofield. They were married until his death in 1994. He had also been widowed and brought three children into the marriage, Gordon, Anne, and Andrew. Don and Ellie had one more child, Kristine, in 1961.
Ellie was an active resident of the Rogue Valley for over 50 years. She participated in many local organizations. While her children were young she was a perpetual P.T.A. room mother and county elections monitor. She was an accomplished artist and past president of the Southern Oregon Society of Artists. Her interests also included the Sons of Norway Roguedalen Lodge, The Tudor Guild, and the Sweet Adelines Choir.
She had many endearing qualities. Her children remember her fondly for her unwavering sense of kindness and her ability in the kitchen. She lived by a rule she called The Three Cs, her motto: Don't criticize, condemn, or complain. She withheld judgment of others and gave everyone a fresh start each day. While keeping the peace among five children, she could grind the wheat, bake 10 loaves of bread and a double batch of oatmeal cookies, pick and put up countless quarts of peaches, pears, blackberries, and sweet pickles, and occasionally tackle a new recipe from Chef James Beard.
Ellie was preceded in death by her mother and father, Bertha Marie and Alex Charles Seiss; her first husband, Robert Leroy LaValley; her second husband, Donald James Schofield; and her brother, Robert Charles Seiss.
She is lovingly remembered by her three stepchildren, Gordon Schofield (Diane), of Missoula, Mont., Anne Schofield (Sue Harrington), of Hendersonville, N. C., and Andrew Schofield (Susy), of Talent, Ore.; and her two children, Linda LaValley, of Portland, Ore., and Kristine Schofield, of Bend, Ore., and their families.
A handwritten note from her refrigerator gives witness to one of her favorite sayings:
The light of God surrounds me,
The love of God enfolds me,
The power of God protects me,
The presence of God watches over me,
Everywhere I am, God is.
She would be pleased if her friends remembered her each in their own way, by an act of kindness or contribution of their choice.
A private service will be scheduled at a later date.

CHAPEL HILL- The Chapel Hill Town Council signed off on next year's budget on Monday night, voting to raise the property tax rate for the first time in four years.
The approved $94 million dollar spending plan balances the budget by raising the property tax rate by two cents, to 51.4 cents per $100 of value.
Though the vote was unanimous, it didn't pass without criticism.
"We will drive a few of those neediest among us out of Chapel Hill when we pass this budget. That's just for sure," said council member Matt Czajkowski. "Every time we raise taxes, for whatever good purpose, we make it harder and harder for people of modest means, or even above modest means, to live here."
Nonetheless, Czajkowski praised the town manager for bringing forward a well-balanced budget.
Half of the property tax rate increase will go to fund the transit system. The other half will go to the town's General Fund, to be used to pay for increased library hours and the cost of hauling trash to a transfer station in Durham.
This is the first time since 2008 that the council has voted to raise the property tax rate, and, as council member Ed Harrison pointed out, the first time in nine years that the transit fund rate has increased.
"The system costs 60 percent more to fund that it did nine years ago, with 40 percent more riders," said Harrison.
The $54 million dollar General Fund budget includes an additional $244,000 in library funding to keep the library open 64 hours a week. The newly expanded facility had been cut down to 54 hours when it reopened this spring due to the building's higher operating expenses.
The budget also includes a two percent pay raise for town employees and covers a four percent increase in health care costs.
Looking ahead to next year, Town Manager Roger Stancil says the council will need to consider long-term solutions for the town's solid waste disposal, as well as the financial stability of the transit system. He advised that it might be time to start planning a bond referendum to take to voters.
"You also have some pretty significant improvements in parks and recreation and greenways facilities that are worn out and need to be replaced," said Stancil. "So we need to start talking about what are the ways we would replace those facilities and how would we plan for a future bond referendum."
Though the council set the town's tax rate last night, next year's county's tax rate is still up in the air. Commissioners have indicated they don't plan to increase the countywide property tax, but they may opt to raise the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district tax as well as the Chapel Hill Fire District tax.
The county will adopt its budget on June 18.

MARTHA'S VINEYARD -- President and Michelle Obama took time from their Vineyard vacation Wednesday to share a meal with Governor Deval Patrick, a longtime friend of the president.
The first couple and the governor had dinner at State Road restaurant, a tavern in West Tisbury, a senior administration official said.
Patrick and Obama go back to the latter's Chicago days, when Patrick, a Chicago native, was working in the Clinton Justice Department and Obama as a community organizer.
Obama relishes telling the tale of when he was making an early run for office, Patrick offered to donate the maximum to his campaign, only to be told that Illinois does not cap political contributions.
They have been close political allies. Patrick was an early backer of Obama's 2008 campaign and the governor has said he has had conversations with Obama advisers about an administration post, but he has also repeatedly vowed to finish his second term.
Patrick has been a frequent social guest of the Obamas, having been invited to the White House on both of Obama's inauguration nights.
On Thursday, Obama undertook the more serious task of addressing the ongoing violence in Egypt, announcing that the United States would not partake in a joint military exercises with Egypt scheduled to start next month.
Afterward, Obama, who is staying in Chilmark, repaired to the Mink Meadows Golf Club in Vineyard Haven.Jim O'Sullivan can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at @JOSreports.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 4, 2012) - Dorato Resources Inc. ("Dorato" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DRI)(OTCQX:DRIFF)(FRANKFURT:DO5) announces its decision to terminate the Option Agreement with Minera Afrodita, Peru for their 5000 hectare concession block within the Cordillera del Condor. This block represents less than five percent of the entire 106,000 hectare concession controlled by Dorato. Future work programs are expected to focus on anomalous silt samples within the main concession block, as well as generate new anomalies in areas to the north in the Ponce Atunez and Cangaza concession blocks, adjacent to the most highly mineralized regions to the west in Ecuador (Mirador porphyry copper-gold and Fruta del Norte epithermal gold deposits).
Dorato has initiated planning new work programs at Cobrecon Este and targets to the south (http://www.doratoresources.com/s/RegionalPorphyrySystems.asp) that will consist of stream sediment, soil, and outcrop sampling, coupled with regional mapping. Additionally detailed stream sediment and reconnaissance rock sampling is planned for the Ponce Atunez (http://www.doratoresources.com/i/maps/Targets_PonceAtunez_TMI_EM_K.jpg) and Cangaza concession blocks to the north, where the regional geophysics has generated several magnetic anomalies. The stream sampling will identify anomalous areas to outline mineralization through soil sampling of ridges, combined with channel sampling of any mineralization seen in outcrops.
At Dorato's Deborah property, in southern Cajamarca region, the next work program will consist of about 800 metres of hand trenching and channel sampling on both the Central and Northeast targets (http://www.doratoresources.com/s/Cajamarca.asp). As well, the soil sample grid at the Northeast Target will be extended to the north to close off the multi-element anomaly there.
About Dorato Resources Inc.
Dorato Resources Inc. is mineral exploration company focused on two geographic centres within the highly prospective Northern Peru copper-gold porphyry-epithermal belt. The Cajamarca Region is an established mining district with excellent infrastructure. The Cordillera del Condor project consists of an exceptional land position and an emergent copper-gold district, located close to the border with Ecuador.

CHICAGO -- Tribune Co., the publisher that emerged from bankruptcy at the end of last year, said it hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Evercore Partners Inc. as financial advisers after receiving unsolicited interest in its newspapers.
The advisers will help Tribune consider all of its options and determine whether the interest is credible, according to an e-mailed statement Tuesday from Gary Weitman, a Tribune spokesman. Jimmy Lee, JPMorgan's vice chairman, will advise Tribune, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be named because the agreement is private.
In addition to the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times, the company owns six other daily U.S. newspapers. Tribune plans to focus on its more lucrative television business and hired Peter Liguori, formerly of Fox Broadcasting and Discovery Communications, as its chief executive in January.
Rupert Murdoch, chairman and chief executive officer of News Corp., plans to take a close look at Chicago-based Tribune Co.'s newspaper assets once they're available, a person with knowledge of his thinking told Bloomberg News in December.
Murdoch, 81, has expressed interest internally at looking at some of Tribune's bigger-market newspapers, according to the person. News Corp. is splitting into two companies, with one focused on entertainment and the other on newspapers and publishing. That latter company will start off with a debt-free balance sheet, which may give Murdoch more latitude to pursue newspaper acquisitions, the person said.
CNBC reported earlier today that Tribune had hired the two banks.
Tribune Co. filed for bankruptcy in 2008, a year after billionaire real-estate developer Sam Zell orchestrated an $8.3 billion leveraged buyout of the company, just before a global recession and a slump in print advertising devastated the newspaper industry.
The buyout loaded Tribune with debt, and Zell failed to complete a turnaround of the newspapers. The bankruptcy triggered a court fight between bondholders who held Tribune's pre-buyout debt and the lenders who funded the takeover. A settlement approved by the bankruptcy court allowed the older creditors to try to recover some of their losses by pursuing lawsuits against shareholders and managers, including Zell.
The company was valued at about $7 billion, including publishing, media and other assets, with $2.06 billion in cash, according to an April filing with the bankruptcy court.
The publishing group, which also includes the Baltimore Sun and Hartford Courant newspapers, is valued at about $623 million, $300 million lower than a January 2011 estimate.

HOWARD BEACH — When Hurricane Sandy hit New York City last week, 38-year-old Howard Beach resident Eddie Dibari stood in his second-floor apartment, watching the water rise up to his front door.
"It was pitch-black out here," Dibari said Tuesday, in front of his boarded-up apartment on 95th Street and 157th Avenue. "It was like standing in the middle of the ocean. I got scared that the water was starting to come up the stairs."
After helping his elderly landlady and her husband onto a Fire Department boat, Dibari and his wife waited all night for the vessel to return. It never did.
While Dibari and his wife safely rode out the storm in their apartment, they awoke the next morning to find both their cars totaled, trees fallen and electrical wires dangling.
More than a week later, Dibari and many other Howard Beach residents, still without power, are feeling ignored by a local recovery effort that has focused on decimated areas like Staten Island and the Rockaways.
"We haven't seen anybody," said 51-year-old Howard Beach resident John Greenholtz who lives at 95th Street and 159th Avenue. "I haven't seen Con Edison. I haven't seen anybody from Keyspan. No one is telling us what we need to do to get the power back on."
A large tree fell on top of Greenholtz's house during the storm, landing near his 22-year-old daughter's window. Although she was home at the time, she was not injured.
The tree remains on top of Greenholtz's house, which also took in 5 feet of water during the storm, causing an estimated $60,000 of damage in the basement alone.
"I know it's a bad storm all over — we just want our lights back on," Greenholtz said, adding, "Everybody now in the neighborhood is pissed. There's nothing going on."
Resident Michael Russo, manager of Russo's on the Bay, was also disappointed in the disaster response in Howard Beach.
"Nobody's been here, no FEMA, no Red Cross, nothing," Russo said. "[None of them] have been to Howard Beach. We've been forgotten about."
As a resident of Zone A, low-lying areas that were evacuated during Sandy, Russo is surprised that "no one has been back there."
Standing in view of a nearby dock strewn with washed-up boats from the hurricane, Dibari said he is trying to keep an open mind about the disaster relief effort in his neighborhood.
"I saw the National Guard, so it's not like they forgot about us," he said. "But maybe they could have done a little more."

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The national debate over gay marriage turns its attention South on Tuesday, as North Carolina could be on the verge of becoming the next state to pass a constitutional amendment defining marriage as solely between a man and a woman.
In the final days before the vote, members of President Barack Obama's cabinet expressed support for gay marriage and former President Bill Clinton recorded phone messages urging voters to oppose the amendment.
Supporters of the amendment responded with marches, television ads and speeches, including one by Jay Bakker, son of late televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. The Rev. Billy Graham was featured in full-page newspaper ads backing the amendment.
Experts expect the measure to pass, despite the state's long history of moderate politics.
North Carolina law already bans gay marriage, but an amendment would effectively slam the door shut on same-sex marriages.
The fate of the amendment hinges on who shows up to vote. More than 500,000 voters had cast their ballot before Tuesday, more than the 2008 primary when Obama and Hillary Clinton were fighting for the Democratic presidential nomination. Both sides said that bodes well for them.
Obama's North Carolina campaign spokesman issued a statement in March saying the president opposed the amendment. Obama, who supports most gay rights, has stopped short of backing gay marriage. Without clarification, he's said for the past year and a half that his personal views on the matter are "evolving."
His election-year vagueness on gay marriage is coming under fresh scrutiny.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan broke ranks with the White House on Monday, stating his unequivocal support for same-sex marriage one day after Vice President Joe Biden said he is "absolutely comfortable" with same-sex married couples getting the same rights at heterosexual married couples.
One fault line that could determine the result is generational. Older voters, who tend to be more reliable voters, are expected to back the amendment.
State House Speaker Thom Tillis, a Republican from a Charlotte suburb, said even if the amendment is passed, it will be reversed as today's young adults age.
"It's a generational issue," Tillis told a student group at North Carolina State University in March about the amendment he supports. "If it passes, I think it will be repealed within 20 years."
The amendment was placed on the ballot after Republicans took over control of the state legislature after the 2010 elections, a role the GOP hadn't enjoyed for 140 years.
The amendment also goes beyond state law by voiding other types of domestic unions from carrying legal status, which opponents warn could disrupt protection orders for unmarried couples.
"I understand that we already have a law on the books invalidating gay marriage. I feel like it's really important to stand up and be heard against any further discrimination," elementary school teacher Amelia Rogers of Raleigh said before casting her ballot last weekend. "That's the No. 1 reason why I'm coming out to vote today and it's against any further discrimination."
Those who oppose changing the traditional definition of marriage to include gays and lesbians said the amendment is the only chance average people have to weigh in.
"In other states, judges have redefined marriage, without a vote of the people. That's happened in California, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts," said Tami Fitzgerald, who heads the pro-amendment group Vote FOR Marriage NC. "The origin of marriage is from God, and I think most people in our state know that."
While polls suggest a majority of likely voters supporting the amendment, an Elon University poll of adult residents in March found two-thirds of the state as a whole supports either gay marriage or civil unions.
"The Elon Poll is pretty consistent in indicating that people favor rights for gays and lesbians, but when you look at all the other polls that look at likely voters, they're all pretty consistent" in predicting passage, Peace College political scientist David McLennan said.
Associated Press writers Gary D. Robertson and Allen Breed contributed to this report.

Congress Moves Forward With Plan To Make Universities Copyright Cops
from the first-ISPs,-then-colleges dept
There was just one problem with that: the number was completely wrong. Earlier this year, the MPAA admitted that it had made a small mistake, and the number was actually something like 15% (and even that could be argued).
You might think that would allow our Congressional representatives to focus their attention on something a bit more important -- but with super low approval ratings, the people they actually represent matter a lot less than their biggest campaign donors. So, of course, the bill to turn universities into copyright cops is back once again. It is somewhat toned down, but will still require universities to basically be the mouthpieces of the entertainment industry, repeating their propaganda and ignoring that the problem is the industry's obsolete business models rather than any legal issue.
However, as you read William Patry's post on this above, you see that the MPAA is also positioning the legislative history on the law so that next year or so, they'll be able to come back and insist on mandatory filters at universities. Basically, it looks like the MPAA tried to bite off too big of a chunk when it pushed for this law last year, so this year, it's taking half a bite, but getting everything ready to get the rest of what it wants next year.

Yes, I'm talking about Christmas but also the NFL.
The playoff push is as exciting to watch as the playoffs themselves.
We do have four throw away games this weekend, by throw away I mean not worth watchingsimply because they have no implications on the playoff picture.
Those games are Buffalo at Miami, St. Louis at Tampa Bay, Oakland at Carolinaand San Diego at the Jets.
Now the games to watch, Washington at Philly. The Eagles are out but this game is a biggy for Washington, as they are in a major dog fight for the NFC East Division and also awild card spot.
Minnesota is at Houston. This game is huge. TheVikings, believe it or not, are in the thick of it all for a wildcardspot.
Houston is already in but the Texans know if they win this game,they will wrap up home field for the playoffs.
Indy at Kansas City. KC is out but if Indy wins, the Colts and Andrew Luck will make theplayoffs, Wow!
Now on to New Orleans at Dallas. The Saints are out butDallas is in a big time dog fight for the NFC East Division and alsoa possible wildcard spot.
I think New Orleans is the better team and could be the spoiler against the Cowboys.
Tennessee at Green Bay. The Packers has already won the NFC North Division, but they knowthe still have a slight shot at home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
New England at Jacksonville. The Pats have the AFC EastDivision sewn up, but they too, are looking for a Week 1 bye in theplayoffs so they can't let off the gas peddle right now.
Denver has the AFC West locked up. The Broncos are looking to get a bye and also a possible home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Denver has got to be careful though, the Cleveland Browns are a much better team than their record shows. The Broncs don't need to let the Browns pull a spoiler game here for the simple fact that Denver needs to at least stay ahead of the Patriots for playoff position.
Da Bears are Arizona. Chicago is in the wildcard hunt but the way they have lostthree straight, it's a long shot.
Now to, what I call, the MONSTER games of the weekend.
Cincy is at Pittsburgh. Both teams are trying to win the a playoff spot and Cincy even has a shot at the AFC North Division championship.
The second MONSTER game is the N.Y. Giants are at Baltimore. The Giants are tied in that dog fight with Washington and Dallas at 8-6 in the NFC East. The Ravens are only one game up onCincy in the AFC North and can not ill afford to lose any games to maintain the title.
This takes us to the final MONSTER game of the weekend. Monday nighters, San Francisco at Seattle. The 49er's have only a one game lead over the Seahawks in the NFC West.
What a finale to a great weekend of football. It's only going to get better as wego.
Final note, from all of us here at The Lamar Ledger and ourfamilies, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi all
Going nuts here, having problems loading sound.
Ideally what I want to do is just load an .swf (test.swf) set up like this:
layer 1, frame 1 - stop();
layer 2, frame 1 - image of a circle
layer 2, frame 2 - image of a square
layer 3, frame 2 - sound starts here (timeline continues until sound ends)
I want to load it into a holding movie 'SoundHolder' like this
loadmovie ("test.swf", "_root.SoundHolder");
Then tell it to go to frame two when I need to use the sound:
This isn't working.
I also tried looking into the Sound Object in MX but can't get this working either! (I have the very latest player)
My code looks like this:
mySound = new Sound(this)
mySound.onLoad = function () {
mySound.start(0, 100)
any help would be much appreciated, like I said method one is how I'd prefer to do it.
Lgive me all your lentils

:Always use both hands when carrying the microscope, one hand at the base and the other holding the arm.
Both hands were always used when carrying.....
PAST because of the WERE, PASSIVE because the sentence never tells you WHO was using both hands..
Walk with it close to your body.
It was carried close to the body.
This example is almost impossible to make passive. A PASSIVE sentence does not answer the question WHO did something... but if a microscope is carried close to YOUR body, well, um.... I think YOU did the carrying. So "It was carried close to the body" is -almost- not really passive.
: Set the microscope at least 5 cm from the edge of the table.
The microscope was set at least 5 cm....
(This is a much clearer example. This is PAST because of the WAS... it it PASSIVE because the sentence never says WHO set the microcope there... the microscope was there, but the sentence does not tell you who put it there.)

A San Miguel County jury found Eric Vigil not guilty this afternoon of murdering Damian Ortiz, 24, and Stephanie Dimas, 25.
Vigil was also found not guilty of robbery, evidence tampering and two counts of conspiracy.
Dimas and Ortiz, who were engaged and enrolled in Highlands University's teacher education program, were found shot to death in their Dora Celeste home just days before Christmas in 2007.
The jury began deliberating at noon today, and by 3:30 p.m., the bailiff began calling people back into Judge Abigail Aragon's courtroom, announcing that the jury had reached a verdict.
Vigil bowed his head and cried after the verdicts were read. For more on this story, pick up a copy of Wednesday's Optic.

The Next Flu Season
July 30, 2010
With summer wrapping up, the public focus on what was known as "swine flu" has begun to shift towards the upcoming season and the next round of vaccination.
The National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC), an advisory group to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), met this week to discuss the upcoming flu season and lessons learned from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. One of the most important ones was the remarkable efficacy in the coordination among various levels of state agencies to ensure the safety of the vaccine.
It is hard to predict any flu season, but this upcoming year will be a particularly interesting one. The universal flu vaccine recommendation (for all those ages 6 months and older) and the higher rates of vaccination that were seen during last year's H1N1 season may translate into increased rates this season. (Last year, between 81 and 91 million vaccines were administered in the U.S.) It is hard to tell when the H1N1 strain will reappear this season, and what impact it may have on elderly populations that were not as severely impacted by the 2009 strain.
In the aftermath of the pandemic and the largest vaccination campaign in U.S. history, local, state, and federal agencies have already started to scale back their pandemic response initiatives.
The disposing of unused vaccine is also well underway. The HHS has begun to collect used and expired vaccine through the Central Vaccine Recovery program. The program is an option for all vaccine providers who signed agreements with the federal government. Health departments can participate as the program is tailored according to the environmental regulations for their state.

It was a bittersweet night for Prospect girls track and field coach Dave Wurster.
The Knights were 17 points better than WW South, 99-72, in the York sectional Friday, but the sectional team championship did not compensate for several near misses.
"The sectional meet is always an emotionally weird night for a coach," Wurster said. "You get really excited for a few minutes and then you have to move on. There are always two or three events that you just miss in (qualifying). (The girls) work so hard and then their season is over."
Prospect was third in the epic 3,200 relay at state behind WW South and Glenbard West last year.
Lauren Poplawski, Christina Santiago and Brooke Wolfe returned to the fold for another championship run after turning back Glenbard West with a time of 9:41.54.
Poplawski and Santiago were denied individual titles at 800 and 1,600 meters by Wheaton Warrenville South's McKenna Kiple and Glenbard West's Madeline Perez.
"I thought I had the win," said Poplawski, who was runner-up at 800 meters in a splendid 2:14.53. "I couldn't run any faster."
Santiago appeared to be within striking distance of Perez with 200 meters to go.
"I thought I could catch (Perez) for a little bit," said Santiago, sixth in the event last year at state. "I couldn't quite get her. We (the members of the 3,200 relay) feel really good about what can happen next week (in the event)."
Prospect also won the 400 relay as Catherine Sherwood, a qualifier in the long jump, led off the quartet.
Erin Reese was a twin qualifier in the two throwing events for the Knights.
But the Knights' junior was overshadowed -- as were all of her fellow throwers -- by Rolling Meadows' Morgan Keller.
The Illinois State-bound senior was untouchable in both events, uncorking the discus 150 feet, 2 inches to set a personal best by more than 4 feet.
"My last three throws (in finals) were 148, 149 and 150," Keller said. "I have been flirting with 150 (feet) for a while. I have always wanted to throw that distance."
Keller, third in state last year in the shot put, was over 44 feet in the discipline for her other triumph.
Jennifer Donnell continued the local theme by qualifying in both throws for Conant. Tracy Iroegbulem was the only runner to qualify for Conant, via her runner-up result in the 200 dash.

Heinz Emil Salloch has the kind of unlikely story one does not encounter every day. He was a refugee from Nazi Germany because he refused to join the National Socialist Party and continued to teach art to Jewish children. He fled the country in 1937 to Cuba first, then to the United States, where he found his way from Florida to New York, then to the South Fork, and finally Montauk in 1938. He died in 1985.
Given the well-documented lore collected on the exploits and backgrounds of notable artists who visited this area over the past century or so, it is extraordinary to discover a new artist who made the trek out here, especially in the large gap that exists between the 19th-century painters and the mid-20th-century Moderns. What is particularly striking about his watercolors of sites such as Ditch Plain, Fort Pond Bay, Culloden Point, and the old Montauk Village, is not just how much has changed or not, but the expressive realist style, still prevalent in both Europe and even America at the time he chose to paint these subjects.
With the Abstract Expressionists not due to arrive for another decade or so, Salloch captured Montauk in a style we are not accustomed to seeing. As a result, the strong linear focus of the work and the artist's sharp use of shape and color seems remarkably fresh.
What is even more intriguing about the enterprise is that it comes with a bit of mystery. By the titles he gave his works, Salloch was often very detailed in locating his subjects. When he did not include a specific place name with a painting, one has to wonder where he might have been. Karen Dorothee Peters, a curator from Germany who now lives in New York, was introduced to the work by the artist's son, Roger Salloch, and has since set about cataloging the paintings, locating those unknown subjects, and comparing the known ones to how they look today.
In a recent visit to Montauk, Ms. Peters met up with Dick White, a historian and member of the Montauk Point Lighthouse committee, and Brian Pope, the assistant site manager at the Montauk Historical Society, who helped show her the sites that were notated and others that might be among those unknown. It was a bit of an art detective mission in the bright clear light of a Montauk spring day.
There were several complications stemming from both man-made and natural forces. Salloch was painting here both before and after the Hurricane of 1938. He was also painting before Montauk Village moved from the Navy Road area to its present location. Heavy brush overgrowth has made some of the obvious vantage points inaccessible by foot today.
In the early part of the day, the men took Ms. Peters to a hill overlooking Rocky Point and Culloden Point in the distance to show her where one painting might have been executed. For a painting titled "South Shore," they went to the Lighthouse "and compared the shoreline, thinking it might have been done from the ledge; and then to Camp Hero as a surfer suggested it was made there," she said.
For a painting titled "Montauk Village," from July of 1939, she was taken to a spot just up the hill from Duryea's Lobster Deck, which, despite the fact that the village the painting refers to no longer exists and is replaced by condominiums, is indisputably the right spot.
For a scene titled "The Old Windmill," they went to Ditch Plain, but couldn't really make out from exactly where it might have been painted. They ran into Jim Grimes, "who told us that his grandparents were caretakers of the windmill and his father was born in it." They continued to debate it.
The exact locations depicted in many of the works continue to be a mystery. A watercolor titled "Fishing Dock" appears to have been done around the present Gosman's complex, but where exactly in the current configuration of buildings was difficult to determine.
Still, the trip opened up a dialogue that Ms. Peters hopes will only continue in the future. (In addition to the images here, a slide show on The Star's Web site and a link to her Facebook page will allow readers to share their own insights as to where a particular painting might have been executed.) She is in discussions with several venues to show the work on the South Fork in the near future.
The artist's son, who is a friend, asked Ms. Peters to help settle the German part of his estate some six years ago. "When I discovered the shoreline pieces, it became a second trip for me here. I was just arriving freshly from Europe and rediscovering the area, but knew these paintings had to go back to where they were made. No one else would appreciate them more."
A French film company has just acquired the rights to the story of how the the younger Mr. Salloch took his father's paintings back to a German audience.
The works Ms. Peters has been studying were part of a large storage area that had been mostly untouched during the artist's lifetime and after his death. Each new discovery was a very exciting process for her. In all, the artist painted 30 Long Island works.
Ms. Peters said that in Germany his style had been more traditionally expressionist. "The German watercolors have less of a documentary quality. . . . When he came here he became an acute and keen observer of detail in an effort to understand his new environment."
"That he was very introverted shows in his work," she said. "He's very intimate with what he sees. Mostly he paints with a focus on landscapes and seascapes, barely portraying people." With their particularly frank 1930s style and the simplicity they depict, she said, "You may be able to see the old American dream in these paintings. For me they are very soulful connectors with land and identity."

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. today announced that its operating subsidiary, Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., has received final approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its Abbreviated New Drug Application for tretinoin capsules, 10 mg. Tretinoin capsules is the generic version of Vesanoid® capsules and is used in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Par expects to begin shipping the product before the end of the month.
According to IMS Health data, annual U.S. sales of tretinoin are approximately $29 million.
Important Information about Tretinoin Capsules
Tretinoin Capsules are indicated for the induction of remission in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), French-American-British (FAB) classification M3 (including the M3 variant), characterized by the presence of the t(15;17) translocation and/or the presence of the PML/RARalpha gene who are refractory to, or who have relapsed from, anthracycline chemotherapy, or for whom anthracycline based chemotherapy is contraindicated. Tretinoin is for the induction of remission only. The optimal consolidation or maintenance regimens have not been defined, but all patients should receive an accepted form of remission consolidation and/or maintenance therapy for APL after completion of induction therapy with tretinoin.
Tretinoin is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to tretinoin, any of its components, or other retinoids.
Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) are at high risk in general and can have severe adverse reactions to tretinoin. About 25% of patients with APL treated with tretinoin have experienced a syndrome called the retinoic-acid-APL (RA-APL) syndrome characterized by fever, dyspnea, acute respiratory distress, weight gain, radiographic pulmonary infiltrates, pleural and pericardial effusions, edema, and hepatic, renal, and multi-organ failure. During tretinoin treatment about 40% of patients will develop rapidly evolving leukocytosis. Patients who present with high WBC at diagnosis (. 5x109/L) have an increased risk of a further rapid increase in WBC counts. Rapidly evolving leukocytosis is associated with a higher risk of life threatening complications. There is also a high risk that a severely deformed infant will result if tretinoin is administered during pregnancy. Refer to full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.
