Castered Kitchen Chairs
Since our early days in the furniture industry, we have seen many changes. One thing that has remained is the need for castered kitchen chairs. Sure some people call them roller chairs or chairs on wheels or even spell it castor chairs, but the chairs are still comfortable to sit in like they have always been. Click here for information about Chairs on Wheels.
Kitchen Tables and More furniture in Columbus, Ohio, is one of the few specialty furniture stores that focuses on the kitchen and dining room table
Our showroom is open Monday through Saturday 10am-8pm, Closed on Sundays.
Kitchen tables are the place where memories are made, stories are told and retold, and where the comfort of home is brought to the center of family life. The kitchen chairs around kitchen tables are filled every evening in the hopes of growing closer together, and the love that is brought to kitchen tables and chairs keeps that bond ever stronger. Kitchen Tables do more than provide a place to eat. They double as craft tables when the holidays come along. They serve as a desk for those late night homework sessions. Kitchen tables and kitchen chairs are a haven where we are fed in body and soul by the love and generosity of the hands that have prepared the daily meal. Dinettes are a source of security that we come to time and time again as we find our way home after a long and trying day. We return each time to our home, to the warmth and the laughter that always find a place in chairs around the kitchen table. Kitchen tables are the heart of the home in America.
At Kitchen Tables & More, we know that each piece of furniture in your home is of great value to you and your family. Kitchen Tables and More is a place where you can be assured of the highest quality kitchen tables, dinette sets, swivel chairs, barstools, tall tables and other furniture needs your family may have for the haven you call your home.

Kitchen tables or Dinettes are the places that draw your home together, and since our opening we have maintained the utmost standards of quality, price, and service to ensure that your time around dinettes is well spent.
As we entered into the world of furniture sales, we discovered that customers had specific needs for knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly design associates who could meet those specific needs in providing a place where families could come and browse a showroom in a warm and inviting environment. Out of this was born a dinettes specialty store, designed and created to partner with families in order to find the perfect fit for any family.

Kitchen Tables and More also specializes in caster chairs. These "Chairs-on-Wheels" were originally developed as cities grew during the end of the 19th century. As more and more companies saw economic boom, they needed to hire more people to keep up with the needs of the business. Bookkeepers, mail clerks, administrative assistants, and executives alike needed more efficient ways of moving around a workspace. Caster Chairs were born, providing a comfortable place to sit while offering wheels and a swivel stand that enabled the employees to work efficiently, saving time and effort. Many people today work from the home. The need for chairs-on-wheels is a need that Kitchen Tables & More understands. Whether you are hoping to find comfortable caster chairs for your home office, or swivel chairs on wheels for the soon-to-be college bound teenager who will need a place for late night study sessions at their laptop, Kitchen Tables and More has many caster chairs to choose from.

Like their predecessors, modern computers share the ability to extend their abilities through the use of peripherals (loosely defined as an auxiliary device that works in conjunction with a computer). In days past, serial and parallel cables connected common peripherals, like printers and scanners, to the computer. Today, modern computers achieve connectivity with modern peripherals (printers, scanners, portable storage devices, digital audio players, gaming controllers, etc) using newer technologies: namely USB and Firewire.
USB and Firewire have been around for a number of years. Microsoft first began supporting the two technologies in Windows 98, and have included support for both in all subsequent versions of Windows, including Windows XP. Apple has also supported both technologies for some time.
Although many argue that one technology is better than the other, the fact is that it largely depends on the type of peripheral in question. Both technologies (in their most modern form - USB 2.0 and Firewire 400) provide excellent throughput (fast transfer speeds) and worthy hot-plug capabilities (adding or removing peripherals while the computer is still powered on).
Firewire was actually designed to replace SCSI, another means of connecting hard drives and other peripherals to the computer. Like SCSI, Firewire supports daisy-chaining devices to form long chains of devices. However, unlike traditional SCSI standards, Firewire is hot-pluggable and fully supports plug-and-play (the computer automatically configures the device when the device is plugged in). It is also possible to network computers together (ad-hoc) in small configurations.
Interestingly, because Apple played a large role in the development of the the Firewire technology and owns the rights to the term "Firewire." Because Apple began charging royalty fees for use of the term, many Firewire-capable manufacturers now omit the word and refer to it as "IEEE 1394" (the technical name for the Firewire specification).
Newer Firewire specifications have become available (IEEE 1394a and IEEE 1394b), which support even faster transfer speeds, but sadly, they have not been largely adopted or supported in the computer industry.
In contrast, USB started out as a very low-speed technology that was designed for low-throughput devices like pointing devices (mice, trackballs, etc), keyboards and such. However, with the advent of USB version 2.0, the technology gained dramatic increases in transfer speed. Since then, USB 2.0 has been used in many high-throughput devices, from to scanners and printers to external CD/DVD burners.
One really nice thing about USB is that both ends of a USB cable are not the same. One is often referred to as USB-A and the other USB-B. The cable, thankfully, will only go on one way, which prevents improper usage.
As both technologies are now used in many of the same devices, many have questioned which technology is more superior. Specifications indicate USB version 1.1 has a maximum transfer rate of 11 mbps (megabits per second), USB version 2.0 has a maximum transfer rate of 480 mbps and Firewire (IEEE 1394) has a maximum transfer rate of 400 mbps.
However, such numbers aren't necessarily representative of actual performance. Many independent studies have concluded that Firewire is largely more robust and reliable than USB 2.0, and can sustain high speed data transfers far better than USB 2.0 can. However, due to the expensive cost of manufacturing and a web of inhibitive patents, Firewire tends to be far less supported by computers than USB. Many experts have recommended Firewire for extremely high-throughput devices (like external hard drives & CD/DVD burners, digital video cameras, commercial quality scanners & printers, digital audio recording equipment, etc) and USB for other peripherals (digital cameras, flash-based removable storage drives, home/small-office printers, mice, keyboards, etc).
One interesting thing to note is that many peripherals (especially the larger ones) support both USB 2.0 and Firewire, which provides great flexibility to the user. If you can, buy products that support both.
Both technologies are backwards compatible with earlier versions. For example, USB 2.0 devices can be plugged into computers that support USB 1.1. Controversially, USB 1.1 devices can be plugged into computers that support USB 2.0. Be aware, however, that when mixing versions, transfer rates are negotiated on a lowest-common-denominator basis. In other words, if you plug a USB 1.1 device into a USB 2.0 capable computer, the device will communicate at USB 1.1 speeds, or throughput (11 mbps). In contrast, if you plug a USB 2.0 device into a USB 1.1 computer, the device will communicate at USB 1.1 speeds (again, 11 mbps). The same holds true when mixing Firewire (IEEE 1394) devices of different speeds.
Computers that lack USB 2.0 or Firewire support can be easily upgraded to support either technology. Such an upgrade requires opening the computer and adding a USB 2.0 or Firewire "PCI" or "PCI Express" card, which plugs into a cream-colored slot on the mainboard, or motherboard. Due to increases in mainboard speeds (often referred to as Front Side Bus (FSB) speeds), such addon cards may not provide the same performance as a newer computer with pre-existing USB 2.0/Firewire support. Note also that adding a PCI card requires careful attention to the computer, such as ensuring proper handling to ensure other components are not damaged or destroyed. If you are not familiar with adding or removing computer hardware, it might be wise to hire a PC technician to add the card for you.
No matter which technology you use, the more you know about it, the easier it will be to work with the device.

2013 Regional Conference in Cambridge, UK
"The highest purpose of the preacher is to faithfully exposit the Scriptures to his hearers."
Dear friend,
In every generation, there is a great need for pastors, teachers, and spiritual leaders to be fully equipped and energized to preach God's Word. As the pulpit goes, so goes the church. Especially in these days, when so many dismiss and attack the gospel, we must be bold in our proclamation of the truth.
During the past thirty years of my preaching ministry, I have seen with my own eyes what the Lord affirms in His Word: that the gospel is "the power of God unto salvation" (Rom. 1:16) and that He saves people from sin through the "folly of what we preach" (1 Cor. 1:21). Ministering alongside one of my mentors, Dr. R.C. Sproul, and proclaiming the character of our holy God has convinced me that the highest purpose of the preacher is to faithfully exposit the Scriptures to his hearers. I have seen that the only sure way to lasting discipleship is the bold preaching of the Bible. This is what helps people to live with one supreme passion for God and His glory.
We must not look to gospel gimmicks, manipulative methods, or shallow entertainment, but to the proclamation of biblical truth—the very power of God in His church. The challenges of our age are great, and the temptation to look for God's power outside of the proclamation of His Word is ever present. Thus, pastors need encouragement to continue preaching the Word faithfully, and parishioners need encouragement to find preachers who are committed to this high calling.
Ligonier Ministries, the teaching fellowship of Dr. R.C. Sproul, shares my conviction. For decades, Ligonier has proclaimed the whole counsel of God around the world, trusting in the power of the Lord to awaken in His people a love for His character, especially His majestic holiness. On behalf of Ligonier and Dr. Sproul, I want to personally invite you to a special Ligonier Ministries event this fall at the Round Church in Cambridge on 6th September, 2013 (I will also be at GraceLife Church in London on 5th September, 2013). I will be teaching on the importance and power of expository preaching, and we will consider how we can better equip leaders and laity alike to place first importance on biblical preaching.
The goal of this free Ligonier event is to encourage pastors, church leaders, Bible teachers, and others to be committed to the preaching of God's Word to His people and to His world. Our afternoon sessions are designed to encourage and equip pastors in their preaching ministries. We will gather in the evening for a worship service that is open to the entire community. There I will preach on the one passion we are to have for knowing and loving God's character. Visit thegoodbook.co.uk/ligonier-cambridge-2013 to register for this event.
Please join Ligonier Ministries and me in Cambridge on September 6th as we seek to glorify God in the preaching of His Word.
In Christ,
Steven Lawson

Playhouse, February 23, 2011
The view outside my "playhouse" doesn't extend for great distances. I'm content and blessed to see the grandchildren growing, our children maturing spiritually, and families and friends expanding and increasing in value. Most would call it the "simple" life.
However, if I step away from my small world syndrome, pull the shades for a broader view, I watch history being made. A sea of Egyptian bodies changed their country's leadership by mass protest while I watched out my window via satellite this month. The mummified pharaohs would have been awe-struck had they the ability to witness this transfer of power. I celebrated with the Egyptians over their new-birthed liberation.
The view was closer when I looked north to Wisconsin this past week. A governor trying to fulfill his promises of a balanced budget met with a rise of opposition from the labor unions. The capitol was overrun with angry educators shouting insults at the governor – educators who called in "sick" in order to attend the protest rallies in mass – the same educators who implant their ideals in the minds of America's young. It was a frightening view. Our founding fathers would certainly be grieved over such irresponsible, dishonest behavior of its citizens.
On another day I opened a small window on the internet to research the "A" word. I dare not use the entire word because of the controversy it initiates. Some describe it as a woman's right. Others see it as a sin against God since He is the Creator of all life.
As I sat at my tiny window studying the statistics of that horrific termination of life, I began to weep. First I wept for the unborn who had no voice to make their plea. Then I wept for myself and others who have voices but remain silent and comfortable with our "simple" lives.
Stop and watch the second hand on a clock. For every 26 seconds, the "A" word is responsible for the legal termination of an unborn child. That adds up to over a million a year in our nation that boasts in "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" for all of its citizens!
I turned from that tiny window to another with its view across the horizon. It didn't seem too far in the distance. It was God's judgment walled off and held back from America by His mercy and grace. But the blood of the innocent cry out and God always hears. Whether we act from fear of His approaching judgment or heartfelt compassion for the innocent who have no defense of their own, we MUST act.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
With the announcement of the temporary closing of Tower Mine in Carbon County, 170 workers have been affected in Carbon and Emery counties. Murray said all of the 170 jobs will be retained even if the miners do not want to relocate to the mines in Indiana and Ohio temporarily. When Tower reopens all of the jobs will be reinstated.
Murray Energy president, Robert Murray said they will wait for all 10 engineering firms to draw their conclusions on the safety of Tower which is a deep mine similar to the one in Crandall Canyon. Murray said they have operated Tower for one year and there have been no problems or incidents at the mine since it's been under Murray ownership. Murray said they absorbed all the miners they could into the West Ridge mine and that the management there chose the miners they kept and those who were layed off. The miners who were kept are a combination of miners from all three Murray mines in the area including Tower, West Ridge and Crandall Canyon. Murray is also involved with another mining venture at Lila Canyon and has been several years with the permitting process for this mine. When this mine opens it will add more mining jobs to the community.
Laid off miner David Berdan attended one of the press conferences held at the junction of the Crandall Canyon mine road and SR-31 in Huntington Canyon. Berdan said, "I live in Price and was notified this morning, (Aug. 26) that I was being laid off. I will just stay here and ride it out. I don't plan to go out of state. I have worked out of state before and I promised my wife I wouldn't do that again. I will just wait it out and play Mr. Mom. It's sad seeing the other miners though, many of them have young children and house payments and bills. I am fortunate because my wife has a good job and we'll be alright. It seems the more money you make the more bills you get. Some of Crandall miners have gone to Tower and some to West Ridge. There are only around 12 people left at Tower. I expect some of the Crandall miners will be without jobs, too.
"Bounces in the mine didn't really bother me. I didn't worry about them. They just work to relieve the pressure which is good. I felt safe in the mine. I have been layed off several times from mines. I worked from last August to December and then we were laid off. Then in January I worked at West Ridge from January to April and then to Tower from April until now. I have worked in at least 15 mines in four different states. When I heard of the lay-off I just thought, 'Here we go again.' During the time of this lay-off I am going to take some classes and get my fire boss papers."
Berdan speculated about the families of the trapped miners. He said he doubts they would want any more people hurt in a rescue attempt. "Murray has done everything he could do, he's been here 100 percent of the way and he's almost 70 years old. I think Murray is genuinely concerned with the safety of the mines. One of the reasons we were laid off last December was because the mine had higher methane gas levels. I think they do care about safety," said Berdan, "I also think you're responsible for your own safety."
Shane Winward, miner, also got the news that he was layed off from Tower. "I'm OK with it, they are just trying to be safe. They've been working on that memory cut where the miner is operated remotely. I don't know yet if I'm going to take the job out of state. I have a farm here and raise 50 head of cattle and I cut and bale my own hay. We are still trying to decide what to do. I still have a house in Sandy for sale, that I left when we moved down here. We have four children ages, 6, 12, 14, and 18 and we live in Wellington. I hate the big city. I feel safer in a coal mine than on the streets. It's not hard to find a job. We'll be OK. When a mine shuts down, though, there is a domino effect and it affects everyone; the trucking will slow down, the loadout at Wildcat will slowdown and everyone that needs the coal will be affected. I can do other things besides mine coal, I am also a heavy equipment operator. There are other jobs out there," said Winward.
Berdan referred to the closure which happened December 2006 when the levels of methane gas in Tower prompted the UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. to idle that mine until the methane levels were brought under control. This was done as a safety precaution and the company wasn't ordered to take this action. This is an excerpt from the article which ran in the Sun Advocate newspaper in December 2006. "We regret the temporary reduction in employment," stated Bruce Hill, director and chief executive officer of UtahAmerican. "But it is unavoidable as we accomplish remediation work to address the methane buildup just encountered. We have started drilling additional degasification holes vertically from the surface as well as horizontally from the coal seam. "
"We are also boring a 16-foot air shaft and installing a 1,500 horsepower blowing fan on the shaft for additional ventilation and methane control. In addition, the entire power distribution system is being upgraded to accommodate the increased electrical demand associated with the ventilation changes. The work is projected to be finished by March 31, 2007 and we are hopeful full production can resume by April 2007," continued Hill.
In an interview on Dec. 18, Murray reported that the 114 laid off miners included workers at Tower, West Ridge and Crandall Canyon mines.
The company press release stated that, "while any reduction in manpower is always unfortunate, we particularly regret the timing of this layoff being near the holidays.
"The layoff was caused by the sudden increase in methane levels and our deep concern for the safety of our employees takes priority over any other consideration."

When it comes to owning a home, security should be one of your top concerns. The way that you can ensure security for your family is by going with a top home alarm systems operation that will keep you and the family safe. Do you have children in the house? Are you living with elderly parents that you might like to offer some extra protection to? There are all sorts of things that need our attention and protection, luckily there are services like home security systems to do some of the protecting for you. This way, you can rest easy knowing that there will always be a response no matter what if anything ever goes wrong in your home.
According to 6webs, home security is one issue that should be taken seriously and as a home owner you need to make sure that you are protected, as well as your family. You can make sure that everything in your home is secure and has a defense against any possible intruder. You never know when danger or some disaster might strike and it can be a great relief if you have the professional security experts at home security systems helping you to get through it. Take the initiative to be pro-active with your security and choose a home alarm systems operation that can be established on your property, equipped with a high-quality home security camera that is going to catch all of the action and not miss a minute. The camera can also help to provide information later on if you are ever victimized, in the hopes of tracking down the individual who targeted you.
Can't Price Safety
There is no price that you can place on keeping your family safe, your own life safe, and your valuable items as well. Having a good home security monitoring system is going to make sure that these things stay safe. If you are unable to wake-up in time to respond to a threat, or if your parents are too unable to get to the phone, home security systems will do the calling for you. Every dollar that you spend protecting your family, protecting the valuable items in your home, and protecting your own life, is going to be a dollar that is well spent. You cannot place any true price on such security and perhaps this is the reason that home security systems continue to flourish.
If anyone ever attempts to target your home the home alarm systems will send help immediately. As soon as someone intrudes onto your property they will be met with a high-quality home alarm systems variation that will hopefully scare them away from victimizing you. You cannot rely solely on your chances of not being victimized. If you are going to stay safe, you need to take matters into your own hands and you need to go with a top high-quality home security systems operation for your home.
Personalize Your System
The best thing about home security systems is that they can be personalized to your own needs and those of our family members. If you are fast asleep and someone attempts to break into your house in the middle of the night, you might not wake up in time to respond. The home alarm systems reacts promptly to any perceived home invasion sign. The home security monitoring can eventually be used to save your life or a family members and there is no price that you can place on that. As well, there is no price you can place on the peace of mind that home security monitoring offers you. There is a reason that so many continue to go with home security systems for their protection.
Whatever size of property you are working with, home security systems can be adapted to them all. You can choose a home alarm systems variation that is going to work for you and meet your security and protection needs. You can choose a high-quality home security camera that can offer constant home security monitoring and protection year-round. Every single day and all night you will have eyes and ears on your home, looking out for any possible intruders. If anyone does dare intrude or attempt to victimize you, the home alarm systems will sound and help will be sent on the way shortly to help you with the situation.

Have you seen the laughing-baby video on YouTube? If not, you're in rare company: "Hahaha" has been viewed 178 million times -- that's more views than people who live in Russia, Japan or Mexico. Online video has become seriously popular, and it can bring you genealogy benefits as well as giggles. Tune in for 10 ways online video can amp up your family history research.
1. Learn about your ancestors' world.
Were your great-grandparents alive in 1918? If so, they faced not only a world at war, but also the Spanish Flu pandemic. Major events such as these are perfect topics to search on YouTube. To zero in on what you're looking for, you can use the same search "operators" you employ when searching Google (which owns YouTube). For example, searching on Spanish Flu Pandemic 1918 history brings up about 90 video results. Add -H1N1 (to exclude the term H1N1 from results), and the list shrinks to 50.

Skip to comments.Reuters Asks if Veep Candidates Will be Checked for Secret Earpieces Before Debate
Posted on 10/02/2008 3:31:37 PM PDT by kristinn
Carl Cameron of Fox News reported a few minutes ago during Special Report with Brit Hume that Reuters asked the organizers of tonight's vice presidential debate if the two candidates would be checked to see if they were wearing earpieces that would feed them answers and coaching during the debate.
Cameron said Reuters asked if the candidates' ear canals would be looked at before the debate.
At the end of Cameron's report, Hume started singing the Twilight Zone theme song, "Doo-do, doo-do. Doo-do, doo-do."
Liberal bloggers made up a conspiracy theory that President Bush wore a wire during his debates in 2004 with Sen. Kerry. The mainstream media has shown a propensity to investigate any absurd unfounded rumor against Republican candidates John McCain and Sarah Palin by liberal blogs during this campaign season while activiely working with the Obama campaign to shoot down well-founded avenues of inquiry of Obama's background by conservative bloggers.
As has been said by Sean Hannity, 2008 is the year journalism died.
Why? So someone can remind Joe Biden who was President during the Depression & when tvs existed in the US? lol!
I heard a caller to CSPAN this morning float this theory, that Sarah Palin would have an earpiece and be fed answers. She said we would know it was true if she wore her hair down..... If I weren't so sick of these folks this would be funny, but somehow it's getting worrisome that there are so many people who are so crazy and they don't mind saying this stuff in public.
"No, but we will be checking for hair plugs..."
They were directing this at Sarah. Maybe someone should call and ask if Joe Biden will be given a breathalyzer prior to the debate?
Moonbat nuts...
This shouldn't surprise anybody. Heck these same minded morons were screaming McCain had broken the "cone of silence" during the Saddleback forum.
If the look in Biden's ear canals I suspect they will find hair plugs.
You beat me too it!
Someone might need to remind Old Joe Biden that Barack's last name is not "America"!
Actually DU has been pushing this. I didn't bother reading the thread.
Maybe they should look in Palin's bra and under Biden's toup.
No, if they look into Biden's left ear canal, they'll see what's on his right. In the right one, out the left. It's the meaning of "airhead".
I am angry, I just got done listening to that odious Fred Barnes trash all the conservatives in the house.
These people do not want us to win.
Geesh, I am PO'ed.
Reuters "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter"? Figgers.
That would be a hoot. I bet his own party checked him to see if he has been boozin'. LOL
I'm more inclined to think that Obama wore one and someone jammed it.
Gwen Ifill reminds me of a TSA employee.
No sense of humor. Hired to check every orifice.
"Has Joe Biden been drinkin?"
(Added August 29, 2008)
If the candidate starts scratching their ear, I would suspect something bugging it.
Like Obama did in this speech where he said "I can't hear myself.." ?!
Don't forget the Sandy Berger sox.
I'm not sure why Biden would even need to. I'm sure he already knows the questions.
Personally I think this is a great idea if they do the same on the next 2 Presidential debates because "The One" has such difficulty without a teleprompter. He may well have had one on the first debate. Generally a guilty conscience causes people to project what they do on to others. Yes I think Obama must have had an ear piece!
The real question should be asked of MSM idiots: Will you admit your bias in reporting?
ppppffftttt...Reuters, schmeuters.
BS Sean. Journalism died many, many, many, many, many, lots of manys of years ago. Not this year.
Yeah, better check for that 'Gaffe-Inhibitor' inserted in that RAT's ear.
I am really wishing that Joe shows up tonight. He is such a jerk, I am sure he will do something kooky.
Obama could hide a whole recording studio in those ears.
They would get out a speculum if they could get away with it...
Sick media people.
Everytime I get a call or visit from the papers, I call them traitors and slam the door or phone in their faces.
You figure it had to come from someone, and Al Reuters is as likely to ask a question like that as Katie Couric...
Im more inclined to think that Obama wore one and someone jammed itHopefully up his ass.
I have never ever seen a candidate slayed in this way as the main street has tried to do to Sarah, under the guise of journalism.
If I was Joe Biden right now I would be sweating heavy... I can only hope he has just a tiny bit of class to deal with his atomic bomb.
I do seem to remember some FReepers asking, "Is Obama wearing an earpiece?" in the last debate thread.
SADLY it did not die enough since half the voting pupulace more a less a percent or two will still vote for Obama. Dont be fooled to think the old time journalism has died.
Or, the last debate when 'The One' looked left and nodded and then looked right and nodded again?? Was someone telling him where to look for his response??
Yep. I was just about to call up the picture (and thread) about Obama's hidden earpiece.
Sarah wears her hair up, and Biden has none!
Barnes is nothing but a stuttering elitist. I wanted to smash my TV listening to that crap he was spewing.

text: THE NEWBERG REPORT Texas is hitting .249 as a team. The club is nearly the worst in the league in fielding percentage and defensive efficiency rating, neither of which fully accounts for costly plays unmade. The schedule makers sent the Rangers on the road for the season's first week, pitting them against the two teams that have earned every expert's nod to win the West, the first of whom sent Erik Bedard and Felix Hernandez to the mound. And yet the club returns to Arlington, prepared to open the home half of the schedule, toting a 3-3 record. All things considered, we ought to feel pretty good about that. Especially because the reason that Texas sits at .500 -- winning two games big and playing the other four tight -- is that the starting rotation has a 2.31 ERA (only Oakland and Seattle have better AL marks), twice as many strikeouts as walks, and only one non-quality start, which stands alone as best in baseball. On average, the starters are getting midway into the seventh inning, a remarkable feat for the first week of the season (and in the Rangers' case in recent years, noteworthy any time of the year). Add the fact that four of the Rangers' seven relievers to see game action have yet to be scored on (one of the other three, Joaquin Benoit, had what has to be the season's filthiest inning of relief work in yesterday's eighth), and it's clear that the pitching is to credit for 3-3. For what it's worth, if it weren't for one bad Jason Jennings pitch to Jose Lopez immediately after Jennings appeared to get squeezed on a two-out, two-strike pitch, Texas would probably have a quality start in every game. Don't forget to give some credit for the improved pitching results to the outfield, which will get some mention here every so often all season. Those guys are getting good jumps and taking good paths, and the athleticism out there is as strong as it's been in years. The glass-half-full bunch, of which I'm an unabashed member, will suggest that Michael Young, Hank Blalock, Milton Bradley, Frank Catalanotto, Marlon Byrd, and Ben Broussard aren't going to continue to hit .181 collectively, and that the infield is going to commit fewer miscues (especially once they all get past the flu). The glass-half-emptiers will instead expect David Murphy and Kason Gabbard to come back to the pack. All I know is that I'd rather have the veterans struggling a bit out of the gate and the young players on fire than the opposite. It's a better bet that the experienced players will pull themselves out of a slump. Vladimir Guerrero went 3 for 12 in the weekend series, with three singles. Sorry, run that by me again? A thought for the pessimistic among you -- should this thing go south by July, what we've seen so far from Vicente Padilla and Gerald Laird is what could make them more tradeable than either has been in a couple years, if not ever. Broussard will need to pick his game up to get there as well, but three home runs in six games – before he even gets to Rangers Ballpark, where he's a lifetime .509 slugger – is an interesting start. Call me crazy: Murphy, whether he realizes it or not, looks like he's smiling at the pitcher when he digs in for the pitch. (Course, I would be too if I were hitting .352/.396/.552 as a Ranger.) Righthander Luis Mendoza threw 63 pitches during a simulated game on Wednesday, doing no damage to the blister on his right middle finger and putting him in line to make a rehab start for Oklahoma today. Assuming he has no setbacks with his 75-85 pitches, he'll start for Texas on Saturday against Toronto. Righthander Thomas Diamond, coming back from March 2007 Tommy John surgery, pitched two scoreless innings in an extended spring training game on Saturday. He's next slated to appear on Thursday, with plans to get three innings of work in. Hope you're keeping up with Scott Lucas's minor league reports. There were years not long ago when the daily farm report was basically checking in to see what Ian Kinsler did last night and hoping it was John Danks or Chris Young or Erik Thompson's night to pitch. These days are so much different. Every morning's report is a goodie bag full of a Marathon bar, a Shasta lemon-lime, a coupon from Bat Night to redeem at Minyard's, those little wax bottles full of fruit punch, a couple Duncan Tournament yo-yo's, a handful of packs of Donruss, a "Two-Minute Mysteries" book, and that elusive Randy Hughes football card from the set the Dallas Police used to hand out. The minor league season is four days old, and already Derek Holland, Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison, Scott Feldman, Doug Mathis, Evan Reed, Jarrod Salatalamacchia, Chris Davis, Taylor Teagarden, Elvis Andrus, Cristian Santana, and even Ian Gac have gotten off to buzzworthy starts. Yes, righthander Fabio Castillo made his first appearance in relief for Clinton, rather than in rotation. Doubt it's anything more than an effort by the organization at this point to keep the inning count down for Castillo, who just turned 19 in February and has only 91.1 innings logged in his two pro seasons. Check out Alex Eisenberg's breakdown of Davis, including some video of his swing, on this page at Baseball Digest Daily: http://www.baseballdigestdaily.com/bullpen/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=438&Itemid=39 Solid Reds debut for righthander Edinson Volquez, after a stellar spring. He earned the win on Sunday after allowing one Phillies run on five hits and two walks in 5.1 innings, fanning eight and earning a standing ovation from the home crowd. Seattle outfielder Brad Wilkerson is 1 for 15 with five strikeouts. The Rangers, according to Baseball America, released righthanders Mark Alexander and Caleb Moore just as fast as they'd signed them. Texas also signed righthander Victor Prieto (a 24-year-old from Venezuela who apparently hasn't pitched since 2005) and catcher Justin Pickett (who spent the last two years in the San Diego system), as well as former Rangers first baseman Jason Hart, who I believe sat 2007 out. Texas also signed journeyman lefthander Chris Michalak, whom Cincinnati had released toward the end of camp. Michalak is working out of the Frisco bullpen. The Yankees signed catcher Chris Stewart. The Cubs signed righthander Andy Cavazos. The Mets signed outfielder Michael Hernandez. Seattle signed righthander Scott Shoemaker. Less than two weeks after acquiring him from the Rangers, Toronto released first baseman Freddie Thon. San Diego released outfielders Ramon Nivar and Nic Crosta. Colorado released outfielder Ruddy Yan. The Mets released infielder Enrique Cruz. Washington released outfielders Juan Senreiso and Joe Napoli and righthander Sam Marsonek. The Dodgers released righthander Alfredo Simon and lefthander Scott Rice. Detroit placed righthander Francisco Cruceta on the restricted list due to visa issues and signed lefthander Aaron Fultz to a minor league deal. St. Louis, needing a replacement for injured reliever Russ Springer, recalled righthander Kelvin Jimenez. Catcher Kelley Gulledge, son of Chuck Morgan, hooked on with the Dodgers this spring and will play for their AA club in Jacksonville. Astros AAA outfielder Nick Gorneault, who spent a month and a half on the Rangers' roster over the winter, is hitting .538/.571/.846 through Round Rock's first four games. Small sample, yes, but he also hit .440/.481/.640 in 25 spring training at-bats for Houston. Among Gorneault's Express teammates is 29-year-old righthander Nick Regilio, who pitched for Texas in 2004 and 2005 but has been out of baseball since then. Independent league signings: righthanders Ace Walker and Bear Bay (Winnipeg Goldeyes, Northern League); lefthander Ryan Cullen (Lancaster Barnstomers, Atlantic League); catcher Craig Hurba (Kansas City T-Bones, Northern League). You've probably noticed that we upgraded the message board overnight. Thanks to Don Titus and Ed Coffin for making that happen. Day off today for Texas, then we finally get to break out the home whites tomorrow. Leave early if you're planning to be at Opening Day, not only because of expected traffic issues but also because the great Eric Nadel is being honored with the throwing out of the first pitch. Based on what just about everyone else who has thrown the first Rangers pitch in a game has done this season, it's probably not unfair to expect Nadel to bring it, at the knees, with late life, and go at least six.

Join Buddy as he attends summer camp for the first time and encounters new people and experiences in J.B. Mounteer's new childrens book, Camp (were) Wolf.
Buddy is spending the summer at Camp Wolf, located in the mountains where his parents grew up. When he arrives, he learns old legends about werewolves and vampires that live on the mountain. Buddy shivers in fear. He hates vampires, even though he has never met one.
While at Camp, Buddy meets new friends who call themselves the "Wolf pack." The Wolf pack has a mission to seek out and destroy all werewolves.
Buddy is frightened when he hears this, but Drake, the leader of the Wolf pack, assures Buddy not to worry because he will protect Buddy from the werewolves.
The Wolf pack's action-filled adventures lead readers to a surprise ending that shows them why they should never judge someone before they really get to know them.
Camp (were) Wolf, is filled with interesting characters, vivid full-color illustrations and there are many hints and twists. The fun and humorous story captivates children, while teaching them the value of true friendship.
Mounteer, loves to write, illustrate and tell stories. He also enjoys hunting, camping, woodworking and most of all spending time with his wife and four children.
Camp (were) Wolf is his first published book, but he has written numerous stories and poems that he hopes to publish in the future.
The text of his rhyming picture book, Nalley O' Nest Snob Of The West was featured in the International Library Of Poetry's Immortal Verses. It was also entered into the International Library Of Poetry's Poem contest, as a semi-finalist, where Mounteer received the Editor's Choice Award for that work.
Mounteer has recently relocated to Castle Dale where he lives with his wife and four children.

When is a bushel not a bushel? Well, in colonial times it would depend on if you were in Connecticut or New Jersey. We take for granted that a full gallon of milk purchased in one store will contain the same amount as a gallon purchased in another store. But standardization in weights and measures (as well as land measurements and time) hasn't been around as long as you might think. And in fact, a particular measure may still depend upon where you are located.
The weights and measures in use around the time of the American Revolution were the British standards. Copies of these standards had been brought to the US at different times and were not always uniform, causing variation from colony to colony and between the early states. To make matters worse, the system was not well established in Britain either.
Take that bushel. The Winchester bushel was 2,150.42 cubic inches - this was the capacity of a bushel in the earliest English records. But it was abolished as an English measure during the reign of Queen Anne in 1824 and was superseded by a bushel of 8 imperial gallons. In 1832, however, the US adopted the old 2,150.42 cubic inch bushel, about 3% smaller than the updated British standard.
This is one standard that has never been agreed upon. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, in the U.S. a bushel is "a measure of capacity equal to 64 US pints (equivalent to 35.2 liters), used for dry goods." It is also defined as a "British … measure of capacity equal to 8 imperial gallons (equivalent to 36.4 liters), used for dry goods and liquids."
An interesting thirty-six page document outlining the history of weights and measures in the United States is available on Google Books: Judson, Lewis V. H. Weights and Measures Standards of the United States: A Brief History. Washington: Dept. of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards : for sale by the Supt. of Docs., U.S. Govt. Print. Off, 1976.
So when you're looking at early probate or estate records, sales receipts or agricultural reports, keep in mind that a bushel may not have been a bushel!

Student Who Accused Jewish Professor of Anti-Semitism Still Working to Expose the Conspiracy Against Her
Last September, York University student Sarah Grunfeld accused her Jewish professor of anti-Semitism after failing to grasp that he was expressing an outrageous opinion to illustrate a point, rather than as a true statement of his beliefs. Sarah, who was roundly mocked for this, believes she is the real victim in this case.
Now she's made this very professional video accusing the school and the media and, I guess, The Jews of railroading her. Please watch it for yourself. Sarah Grunfeld, ladies and gentlemen.

Financial Aid Award
The financial aid TitanConnect award contains a list of the financial aid sources that you qualify for based on the information submitted on the FAFSA. This aid is outlined to demonstrate how transfer students may qualify to cover the cost of a UDM education.
Scholarships & Grants - these funds are free and do not have to be paid back.
Loans - these funds must be paid back.
Federal Work-study - these funds are linked to a work program. Students who qualify, may work on campus, or at select off campus locations in between classes and earn work-study funds. The earnings are not automatically applied toward the student's outstanding charges. However, students can work to earn these funds and apply them toward their bill and may elect to have a payroll deduction directly to their account.
First Five (5) Steps
Our transfer award packages are very generous and they are customized to fit each student's financial situation. Below you will find the first five (5) steps to paying for your UDM education.
- Review the 2015-16 Cost of Attendance and determine your cost for the year. Please plan ahead for books and supplies. UDM does not issue book vouchers.
- Review your 2015-2016 TitanConnect financial aid award which is accessible from your TitanConnect account. It outlines the financial aid funds that you qualify for, based on the FAFSA. These funds are to help you pay your cost.
- Review the 2015-2016 UDM Financing Options which summarizes the different loan programs found on the TitanConnect financial aid award. It also summarizes our 10 month interest-free payment plan option.
- Determine if you have any out of pocket cost.
- Now that you have determined the financial aid sources that you would like to use, please select "accept" or "decline" button for each source listed on your TitanConnect Award Screen. You also have the opportunity to select an amount less than the total offered.
Note: See the "What Happens Next" section for instructions regarding the Stafford loan.
Cost of Attendance - not necessarily the amount you will have to pay to attend UDM, but an estimate of possible expenses. Actual costs will vary by student.
Expected Family Contribution (EFC)- calculated from the information reported on the FAFSA. This does not reflect the amount you will have to pay out of pocket. The EFC will be used along with the cost of attendance to determine how much "need based" aid you will qualify for.
Initial Need - Cost of Attendance minus Expected Family Contribution equal the Initial Need.
Outside Resources - funds received from outside sources to help pay educational expenses. These are funds not processed by financial aid, but payments negotiated through the Student Accounting Office. Typically, these represent payments from employers, tuition payment plans, etc.
Need - Cost of Attendance minus Expected Family Contribution, minus Outside Resources equal Need.
Status - the student classification that this aid level applies to
Fall 2015 - September through December aid to help pay Fall 2015 costs
Winter 2016 - January through April aid to help pay Winter 2016 costs
Summer 2016 - May through August aid to help pay Summer 2016 costs
Total - total amount of aid to help pay Fall, Winter and/or Summer costs

Marlies Return Home, Fall 3-1
Jeff Veillette
January 26 2013 06:11PM
The boats are gone, and hockey lives on once again at Ricoh Coliseum. After a three week hiatus due to trade show usage of the building, the Toronto Marlies returned home for a late afternoon matchup against the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins. The team looked a little different than when they left, and for whatever reason, they added to that difference by wearing their away blue jerseys. What ultimately matters though is not the makeup of the team, but the result they put out, and that wasn't a very good one, falling 3-1.
Toronto started off strong. Very strong, actually, taking 11 of the game's first 13 shots. Mark Eaton taking a penalty nine seconds into the game helpeed that, but Toronto maintained this for the first ten minute sof the game. From that point on, Wilkes-Barre had control. For the rest of the first, the Marlies spent a lot of time in the box. Jake Gardiner came first. Dylan Yeo and Carter Ashton came next, going to the box 40 seconds a part, leaving a dramatic 5 on 3 scenario that Mark Owuya kept calm. Andrew Crescenzi, also went off for a hook before the period's close.
The second saw a team that was more disciplined in terms of penalties, but maybe not as much in playstyle. Riley Holzapfel made the only two contributions to the scoresheet for the Penguins - a goal at the 11 minute mark, and a high sticking penalty at the 15 minute mark. Toronto made little use of the powerplay, and finished the period heavily outshot 19-3.
The goals started to trickle in midway through the third. After an unsuccesful early period attempt to capitalize on the man advantage, the Marlies got a second chance. Tim Connolly took advantage of the opportunity, tying the game. The even score wasn't to last for long, though - Paul Thompson regaining the Penguins lead 59 seconds later. With seven minutes to go, Mike Zigomanis was the next player to head to the box, and unlike previous kills, the Penguins capitalized - this time, Adam Payerl put home his second of the year, widening the lead to two. Toronto had a powerplay in the final minute, but did nothing with it.
Other Notes
- Andrew Crescenzi and Jamie Devane made their AHL season debuts, put together on a line with Brad Ross. Nothing really to write home about here - the three combined for a couple of shots and a penalty.
- Mark Owuya started in goal for the Marlies, and had a stellar night, keeping them in the first late first and second periods. Even with three goals against, I was very impressed with his overall game.
- Jake Gardiner seemed unwilling to shoot the puck at some very opportunistic times. I have a feeling he may be here for more than just the one game.
- Tim Connolly has scored in every game he's played for the Marlies thus far, with 3 in 3.
- At the end of the day, this team got outshot 31-17 in the last 50 minutes. The game looked close, but the quick Marlies start and Owuya's play hide the truth. Beyond shots, Wilkes-Barre controlled the posession and had the bulk of the strong scoring chances.
- Worth noting - Ricoh was sold out for the 4th straight game, with the Marlies average attendance jumping to 7180.
I watched this game. Connolly should be russian player. That much talent and he seems to give a dam about the game. His shot and experience are too much for the AHL but he doesn't for some reason make his team mates better. I'm not sure how you teach that skill. I think Eakins needs to tell Connolly that he needs to mentor McKegg and his game and also make Connolly Assistant and demand he inspire the troops. This might be the only way I can see him getting back to loving the game.

The Emery County Commission took care of business in their Sept. 22 meeting. They approved a right of way application for the Wilberg Mine Coal Haul road for the BLM.
The board of equalization has been open for the past 45 days and the commissioners closed the BOE. They also voted to approve the BOE adjustments made during this 45 day period.
Brenda Tuttle and Carol Cox will attend a conference in Las Vegas and the commission approved the out-of-state travel for them.
The Utah Department of Transportation has awarded the bid for Phase 7 of the South Moore road project to Nielson Construction. The commission will draft a letter of support to UDOT for this bid award.
The commission approved a change order for the Aquatic Park which includes changes in the restrooms, hot water heater, heaters and changes in fencing. The final payment is $19,969.
The commission approved the personal property tax exemptions for 2009.
Mike McCandless addressed the commission to discuss the issuance of industrial development bonds in behalf of Conductive Composites, the new company coming into Green River. McCandless explained the company works with composite materials to create a coating used to coat air crafts to reduce their exposure to lightning strikes and other uses mainly in the field of defense. The business is not relocating to Green River but creating a satellite location. They are still in the process of site selection and will be currently operating out of the hangar at the Green River airport. Remodeling work is being completed at this time. The company hopes to be producing product out of the facility by Thanksgiving time.
A financing package is being worked on for the company. The company is in line for defense appropriations for $3.5 million with help from Sen. Orrin Hatch's office. These appropriations from government to help contractors who provide defense is very valuable to contractors to work on and develop new materials for use in defense products. The appropriation has already passed the Senate side. Private activity bonds are issued to help private companies produce jobs. The bond would use the name of the county to apply for and obtain the bond which would be exempt from taxes. The bond would in no way be guaranteed by the county. George Hansen is the owner of Conductive Composites and has already been approved for a bond for $2 million.
The county has acted in a similar manner when they build a coal mine haul road and then are reimbursed by the company.
Alex Buxton from Zions Bank said the savings to a company in interest can be very substantial. McCandless said that's why it's worth it for Hansen to go through the necessary steps to try to secure this funding. There is no commitment from the county involved.
Commissioner Gary Kofford wondered if it would have any bearing on the county receiving bond money for any other projects. Buxton said no this bond wouldn't affect any other projects.
McCandless said the money would show up on the state's limit for bonds and would not affect the county's limit on bonds. This type of funding has been used extensively in housing projects.
Buxton said they are looking for a buyer for the bonds. They are looking at Zions being the purchaser if possible. "We are confident we can find a purchaser," said Buxton. A public hearing will be required as part of the process and the commission scheduled the hearing for Oct. 13 in the next commission meeting.
Hansen said they will be ready for the equipment in Green River in about a month.
Kofford said he toured the Heber City facility and it is a very impressive process with much future potential with the right marketing in place.
The commission approved the inducement to begin the process. The next step is the public hearing and then a 30 day waiting period before the company could become eligible to bond.
Hansen said when things are up and running with a new facility in place they hope to employ 35 people.
The commission agreed to pay costs for employees to have vaccines including seasonal flu, pneumonia and H1N1. If spouse or family members want shots they will pay the co-pay involved.
The commission approved a 3 percent merit increase along with a 4 percent cost of living increase for Janetta Young employed at the library. A volunteer list was also approved for the travel bureau.
Kofford let everyone know there is a house hearing scheduled for the America's Red Rock Wilderness Act on Oct. 1 in the Natural Resources committee. The bill has been introduced each year but this is the first time it has actually reached the stage of a hearing. A past lobbyist for Emery County Robert Weidner has made a request that Gov. Herbert, Rep. Matheson, Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth and John Jones, commissioner from Carbon County be allowed to testify at that hearing.
The county will prepare a letter with a statement in behalf of Emery County which Pitchforth will present at that time. The commission approved for Pitchforth to attend the hearing in Washington DC with associated expenses allowed.
In commissioner reports, Commissioner Jeff Horrocks reported he met with the DWR/RAC at their meeting. They have recently released 12 inch tiger muskie at Joe's Valley with the hope they will eat the trash fish in the reservoir. He met with the Utah Association of Counties board and they have made new appointments in the organization, they are also working on the insurance for counties.
The county has received a letter from UDOT which will allow ATV travel on SR-29 in Joe's Valley. It has been designated as an ATV trail.
Horrocks reported he helped with the senior citizen lamb fry held at the Bear Creek Campground. The Val Jensen band played and everyone had a good time. He attended the fire district meeting and they are approaching the CIB for help with funds for a new fire truck for each community in the county. If approved this money will come in February 2010.
Pitchforth in her report thanked Kent and Julie Wilson for the help with the lamb fry for the seniors and the senior directors for planning the fun event. The Green River seniors brought watermelon for everyone and she thanked them for their contribution. She attended the recreation board meeting and little league football has started. Flag football and soccer are also underway. The district is bringing back mens basketball and Jesse Ward will be over the mens league. Aerobic classes will be starting and repelling and rafting activities are being planned for the future.
After Halloween there will be a pumpkin chucking party and everyone is encouraged not to smash pumpkins on the roads, but save them for the party. There will be a pumpkin launch and prizes. The MECCA fall bike festival will be at the Wedge Sept. 25-27. The historical society has a trip planned to the Olsen ranch on Sept. 26. The elected officials rode in the Peach Days and Melon Days parade. The Little Grand Canyon Marathon was held on Sept. 12 and there were 380 participants. Thirty from other states and six from other countries. Pitchforth also attended the RSVP Walk to Russia celebration. She attended the library board meeting and they reported 600 kids participated in the summer reading program.
Kofford reported Huntington Airport is having a fly-in on Sept. 26. The backcountry pilots will use the facility for an outing. They will camp there and have training for participants on how to land on dirt airstrips. They will also visit the museums and the dinosaur quarry while in the area.
There may be enough money left after the completion of Moore 7 to allow for a Moore 8 project which would be the chip and seal project and a possible acceleration lane. The county will have to wait to see how the money shapes up, before they will know if additional projects are possible.
Goblin Valley will soon have a completed road with the road projects there. $2.2 million came from stimulus money and the other project will be completed with state park access funds.
Pitchforth reported the walls are up at the care center expansion and they will be moving along with sheetrocking and a roof. The project is on schedule.

Hacking 21st century technology with greatest generation craftsmanship
By bnitz on Feb 10, 2009
The times I spend diagnosing, testing, analyzing and documenting system problems are interesting from a scientific discovery/mystery viewpoint, but there is something especially enjoyable about creating new code (of course without any mysteries or bugs for someone else to analyze ;-) During these long winter nights, my wife knits or sews childrens things and patchwork quilts while I take apart a broken toy or patch together some gizmo which could easily replaced for a pittance. Not long ago, my wife bought a toy telescope for 1 euro at a car boot sale. Some toy telescopes have surprisingly good optics in the objective (front) lens and terribly bad eyepieces designed as marketing gimmicks to pretend that they can pull 625 power out of a 60mm objective (defying the laws of physics in this universe) This along with the flimsy mounts on toy telescopes makes them all but useless for learning to appreciate astronomy. I was about 12 when my parents gave me a Skillcraft 2" Newtonian telescope. 2" reflectors with 1" secondary mirrors are diffraction limited even if you use a shaving mirror for the primary! But shortly after Christmas 1976, the mount broke and I had a useless tube. My grandpa was a carpenter, toolmaker and metal worker so he fixed it and with rivets and brass he made the mount look like new. (as though repaired by the robots in Metropolis.) The optics of that telescope weren't great but I did manage to see the rings of saturn by using a paper Dixie[tm] cup as an adapter between this scope's eyepiece and one of my dad's good camera lenses. Because memory of a great depression lasted several generations, my grandpa spent time fixing this $20 toy and my parents hung onto that toy until 2008. I told them that the optics were never good and 20 years of corrosion of the tiny aluminized mirror wouldn't have improved anything so I recommended that they throw out the scope. But I asked if they could send me grandpa's mount. So 9 years after he died, grandpa gave his great grandkids a Christmas gift. I attached grandpa's sturdy mount to the telescope from the car boot sale. Added a 0.965 to T-Ring and T-Ring to Pentax K adapter to my Pentax \*ist DL Digital SLR and, it's almost a respectable 700mm lens:
Now I only need to wait a couple of years for Saturn to tilt at a nicer angle and my kids will have no problem seeing Saturn through this telescope.

QUECHEE – A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Nov. 4 at 11 a.m. at St. Anthony's Church in White River Jct. for Ann G. Kangas, 79, who died Oct. 27 at home surrounded by her family. Burial will follow in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Visiting hours will be held Sunday, Nov. 3 from 3-5 p.m. at the Knight Funeral Home in White River Jct.
She was born March 2, 1934 in Worcester, Mass., daughter of John and Anna (Poskus) Adamonis.
After graduating from high school in Worcester, Ann received her nursing degree from the Worcester-Hahnemann Hospital School of Nursing in 1954. She later earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Castleton State College in 1978.
Ann was married to Lawrence Kangas April 23, 1955 in Worcester, where they lived until moving to Wilder in 1962. Upon moving to the Upper Valley, she worked at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover, N.H. until 1974 when she began her career with the Hartford School District. Ann taught Health Occupations at the Hartford Career and Technology Center from 1974 until 1992, where her accomplishments included certifying over 85 students as Certified Nursing Assistants. In addition, she also taught an evening CNA class at the VOC center for adult students and from that program she certified 105 nursing assistants. In 1992 she became the school nurse at the middle school in Hartford where she worked until retiring and moving to Quechee in 1999.
Ann was not one to sit on the sidelines and watch, but rather one to take life by the reigns. Locally, special education was very limited in the early 70's and she advocated to the state for its expansion. When her special needs daughter was denied access to swimming lessons at the town pool, Ann received the necessary certifications and became the Hartford Pool Director from 1973 until 1978. She not only taught her daughter to swim, but also put together one of the best swimming programs in the area and helped organize disaster drills for local emergency service personnel. She was also an integral part in establishing the Special Olympics in the Upper Valley area where she fulfilled the requirement of nurse, but also coached, nurtured and loved. She remained active for many years, including coaching the Vermont Special Olympic swim team to the International Games in Baton Rouge, a. in 1983. In addition to her other duties Ann was a dedicated volunteer with the American Red Cross, teaching CPR and first aid; an active member of St. Anthony's church where she taught religious education classes; and a Den Mother for the Wilder Boy Scouts.
Ann enjoyed traveling, gardening, reading, swimming and spending time with her grandchildren. Regardless of her role as teacher, instructor, boss, or coach, she was fondly referred to as "mom" by many. She impacted many lives on many different levels.
She is survived by her children, Laura Marzulli and her husband Dino and their children Anthony and Christopher of Elk Grove Village, Ill.; John Kangas and his wife Melanie and their children Deven, Justine, Stephanie, Michael, Miranda and Gabriella of Concord, N.H. and Teresa Kangas of Quechee; a brother John Adamonis of Columbus, Ohio as well as cousins, nieces and nephews.
Ann was predeceased by her husband, Larry in 2006 and a son James in 2010.
Contributions in her memory may be made to the High Horses Therapeutic Riding Program, 2727 Christian St, White River Junction, 05001.
