www.armex.com is the home of 90% of the soda made in the US, and they have distributors all over the country.
Norton sells soda too
There are plenty of distributors, and unless you have stock in UPS you ought to find one.
Does anyone here have any experience with Dry Ice Blasting? It is supposed to be able to remove rust with the least amount of damage of any media. It shouldn't generate heat because of the ice and there definitely wouldn't be anything left over except what you blast off. The only reason I haven't tried it is because of the initial cost of equipment. If we think soda cost a lot then check out these links.

Chris, for pitted rust I Use ....................Ospho and a big wire cup on my 41/2 " grinder it pretty much disolves rust and cleans metal beautifully,I've been doing it this way for 25 years but there are those that say it dosent work ,I dont know why.You asked so there it is,mabee some day I'll switch to blasting but not today and probably not tomorrow ether,I have pics if your interested.I have used that recirculating vac blaster and it does a good job to but I always come back to this way for rust.BTW repairing rusty cars is how I got the nickname deadbody man
Dry Ice is way beyond where you want to go restoring a Bentley.
The process is magnificent and does what you dream of soda being able to do, and the beauty part is no media to clean up post blasting. Now, if you have a budget that would make a Kennedy green with envy, go set up a rig, and once every couple years you may be able to bid a job to justify it. That first utility powerhouse restoration will pay for the machine. Of course you still need to remove the residue the DI knocked off.
Unless you have the jobs lined up for 2 years, rent the machine, the DI industry seems to have figured out nobody is going to buy one. Be prepared for EPA reporting requirements coming to DI soon, seems like a bunch of numbskulled politicraps fartsniffers have decided Co2 is dangerous.
soda blaster retro kit
has anyone tried to make one of these retro kits? It looks like a couple of valves , a T fittinf and some hose.
Also, with this retro kit, does it connect to your pressure pot at the bottom outlet or the air intake at the top?
Read back in the thread. It's a little more complicated that just a couple hardware store parts, so nobody but Franz might try it and he doesn't care for soda blasting. If you want one, it's probably worth the $$ to buy Eastwood's rig. The real expense seems to be the soda.
I will be getting one this summer to strip some walnut and mahogany antique doors and trim in a hundred year-old house, so I'll keep it for the cars.
So I joined the site just to make this post.
I needed a soda blaster, and >$1,000 wasn't going to work for professional units. For everyday use, Eastwood has some to offer for less than $300 delivered. But I couldn't justify it when they sell one that looks nearly identical to the harbor freight 110lb model that was on sale for 80 bucks.
I did a lot of research, and there seems to be a lot of talk about the eastwood soda conversion kit. My rationale was that the cheapest "guaranteed" method was to pick up the harbor freight model for 80 bucks (harbor freight is local, so no shipping charges), a bag of soda, and IF it didn't work, then I'd order the Eastwood kit for about $140 bucks delivered and still be ahead.
Here's what I found.
Everything worked fine out of the box, no conversion. I have a 60 gallon compressor, with an inline moisture trap. I connected that to the cheap-o moisture trap that came included with the harbor freight model (figured, it was better than not using it). I put in fresh media, and blasted away.
The valve at the bottom that controls the flow is a bit large for soda, BUT I wouldn't change it (I'll explain why later). You have to carefully set it. For example, 15 degrees might be too little, 20 degrees might be too much. So somewhere within 5 degrees is the adjustment range. This makes it a bit tricky to get the flow right, but far from impossible. You just give it a tiny tap, and more come out. If too much comes out, give the valve handle a tiny tap back.
But what about all this about clogging? I don't know, I didn't have any problems with it. Of course you have to use dry air - in any setup. Maybe my air was super dry??? (I am in Florida, so I doubt that). In about 2 hours of blasting, I had it clog on me once. All I did was open the bottom valve to full open, and gave the gun a press. Clog passed, and I then re-adjusted the valve to the sweet spot.
I decided that I wanted an easier way to clear clogs (one that didn't require re-adjustment of media flow)... so I implemented the following:
Between the gauge and the tank is a metal threaded tube. Remove it, and install, in this order, after the guage install a shutoff valve, then an inline air release (harbor freights got 'em, or you can install a T with another valve on the top to vent out), and then have that connect to the tank. The original threading is horrible, so no teflon tape. I used teflon putty by the guage manifold, and silicone caulk around the threads in the tank (Yeah, they are that bad).
Here's what the assmebly does: If a clog happens, you shutoff the tank valve, and then open the release. Air is directed thought the bottom hose and straight up through the whole tank clearing anything in the way. A short 2-3 second burp of that assembly (which is convienantly on top, rather than on the bottom like in the Eastwood kit, clears the whole line) and doesn't even blow an significant media out (a little dust, but nothing major as it is on top of the tank).
Oh, and the extra shutoff also allows you to seal in the tank from the outside world helping to minimize the effects of humidity for media stored in the tank. (The main valve doesn't do this as it is before the moisture trap, and the moisture trap has an always open pin on the bottom unless there is pressure in the tank, and I don't want to keep the tank pressurized).
So for those wondering, I say go for it. I got a special deal, but even the normal sale price is around $120 bucks for the harbor freight model (or as I think of it, the red version of the Eastwood tank).
***I will point out that I have not tried Eastwood's setup, I don't know what it might add to the equation. But my current setup cost less than 100 bucks with everything, and works far better than I even need it to.
Good luck, and I hope this info helps.

Thanks for the info, hawkmoon77.
This thread will never die.
Eastwood soda blaster
I bought the Eastwood blaster with the soda adaptor when they first came out. its been a good tool to have around. Just can't leave soda in it for a long time. I've seen a few others now from harbor freight, and Clarke. I'd bet they are the same, except for the soda adaptor and my sone has used it with soda without the adaptor.
I also want to add something. I had a very bad experience with Eastwood who I was spending IMO a good bit of money with. I had also called their tech line and got minimal help.
I was in the area where they are. My son wanted to paint his truck with the flat black paint that they sell. I had to ask some questions to.
I felt like I was a bother to the 2 guys working the counter. I also wanted to spend some time looking at their products that I had been looking at in there catalog.
They got many phone calls while I was looking through the store. What got me upset, especially since I had called them a few times was they made fun of everyone that called. IMO they acted like everyone was a idiot or stupid.
I left with the feeling that I was a burden to deal with and I didn't like the way they made fun of customers.
I sent a pretty serious e-mail about this also to Eastwood and never got a responce.
Since then I have not bought one thing from them. That is a loss for them since I do spend some money.

My partner bought the small presure blaster from Eastwoods its the same propane tank from China that HF sells THE SAME THING.it costs a lot more though...You DIY's are getting ripped off....
Racersdad ,if you dont mind I'd like to copy and paste this to another thread also ....
soda blaster
That is OK with me.
Ben Braun
It'll be in "eastwoods plasma cutter" If you want cheap chineese toys then buy them direct ......these guys are just middle men putting stickers the crap.
They think most people are to stupid to know any better and maybe they are but a spade is a spade Imo they are worse than big companies like 3-M that make quality products but rape you without lube...

Focus on the Family misstated Dobson's "original comment" comparing embryonic stem cell research to Nazi experiments
On the August 5 broadcast of his Focus on the Family radio show, James C. Dobson -- founder and chairman of Focus on the Family [1] -- defended his August 3 comparison of embryonic stem cell research to scientific experiments conducted on live humans by the Nazis. Also during the August 5 show, co-host John Fuller directed listeners to a website run by Focus on the Family, CitizenLink.org, where there is "a lot of information about our opposition to stem cell research." Displayed prominently on the website is an article, titled "Dr. Dobson Answers Critics Over Stem-Cell Comments [2]," that misstates Dobson's initial comparison of stem cell research to Nazi experiments, referring to a comment Dobson made on August 5 as his "original comment":
Dobson countered that his statement was being "spun like a top by those who don't care about unborn life."
He said the original comment -- "Experimentation on the blastocytes, which are fertilized eggs, has a Nazi-esque aura to it" -- was being taken out of context by those who support embryonic stem-cell research.
But while Dobson did make a comment [3] similar to the statement represented as his "original comment" on the August 5 show [4], his actual original comment, made during his August 3 radio broadcast and re-broadcast two days later, was far more inflammatory:
DOBSON: You know, the thing that means so much to me here on this this issue [embryonic stem cell research] is that people talk about the potential for good that can come from destroying these little embryos and how we might be able to solve the problem of juvenile diabetes. There's no indication yet that they're gonna do that, but people say that, or spinal cord injuries or such things. But I have to ask this question: In World War II, the Nazis experimented on human beings in horrible ways in the concentration camps, and I imagine, if you wanted to take the time to read about it, there would have been some discoveries there that benefited mankind. You know, if you take a utilitarian approach, that if something results in good, then it is good. But that's obviously not true. We condemn what the Nazis did because there are some things that we always could do but we haven't done, because science always has to be guided by ethics and by morality. And you remove ethics and morality, and you get what happened in Nazi Germany. That's why to Senator [Senate Majority Leader Bill] Frist [R-TN] and the others who are saying, "Look what may be accomplished." Yeah, but there's another issue, there's a higher order of ethics here.

text: More exciting controlled scrimmage nuggets!!! • I know it's early, but CB Terence Newman is on the verge of becoming a special player. He rarely gets beat and makes plays against the run. WR Terrance Copper looked a little woozy after Newman raced up and decked him after a short pass. The ball popped out for an incomplete pass. • The Cowboys are doing everything they can to keep FB Lousaka Polite on this team. He's becoming comfortable in the F-back position. Polite's also starting to get the ball quite a bit around the goal line. He had a 3-yard touchdown Saturday. • Oh yeah, you wanted some Bobby Carpenter news, didn't you? Well, he had two sacks Saturday. He could end up being one of the more versatile players on the team. He's smart enough to learn the outside and inside linebacker positions. He also made some nice plays in pass coverage. When Drew Bledsoe dumped the ball to Julius Jones, Carpenter closed on him quickly. I'm not sure whether it will be inside or outside, but Carpenter will be starting soon. • DE Chris Canty had two sacks Saturday. The first one was a coverage sack, but on the second one, he just exploded past an offensive tackle. Canty even did a strange-looking sack dance after the second one. It's remarkable to watch a 6-7 guy with this much quickness. Canty and Spears have the talent to become one of the best DE tandems in the league. • A lot of us had dismissed TE Tony Curtis' chances of making this team, but he made some nice plays in the passing game Saturday. He almost made a miraculous catch on a ball from Tony Romo early in the scrimmage. Later, he reached high in the air to snag a Romo pass without ever breaking stride. Very nice scrimmage for Curtis. • Really, really quick hits: Ryan Hannam had a one-handed catch of a Drew Henson pass...Tim Cowlishaw's favorite player on this roster, LB Junior Glymph, hit Tyson Thompson for no gain on one play...Sam Hurd's leaping 24-yard catch early in the scrimmage may have been his best. He showed great body control during his catches...Patrick Crayton was called for pass interference...Pat McQuistan was called for holding on a running play...Aaron Glenn raced over to break up a Drew Bledsoe pass early in the scrimmage. Glenn's having a nice camp...Kicker Shaun Suisham missed a 50-yard field goal, but then made a 47-yarder. Mike Vanderjagt nailed a 44-yard FG after Romo's first drive...Cowboys kid and former Texas Tech linebacker John Saldi sacked Bledsoe on one play...A few plays later, DeMarcus Ware ran over Fasano on his way to sacking Bledsoe...Don't want to shock you with this, but LT Flozell Adams was called for false start. I did hear Parcells blame it on Romo, though...The Cowboys are taking the day off, so we're going to do the same this afternoon. Log on early and often Monday. Posted by Matt Mosley at 11:54 AM (E-mail this entry) | Comments (0) Lose yourself in this controlled scrimmage report! With the help of Todd Archer, I documented all 100 plays in Saturday's controlled scrimmage. These are the types of things reporters do when not making snarky comments about how great LB Junior Glymph looks. I considered providing you with play-by-play coverage, but that seems a tad excessive. Here's what I can tell you: The offense finally started moving the ball. The only problem was that it was the second- and third-team offenses. I know he had to go against the first-team defense more, but Drew Bledsoe did not have a good day. He missed on his first three pass attempts and he held the ball too long (imagine that) a couple of times. Tony Romo (left) raced the second-team offense down the field for a touchdown drive and then celebrated with a Tiger Woods fist pump that thrilled the crowd and caused reporters to laugh. Romo led the second-team on another touchdown drive against the first-team defense. And much to e-mailer Brian M.'s delight, we had a Drew Henson sighting Saturday. Henson was 12-for-16 for 150 yards and led the offense on two touchdown drives and a field goal. After the first TD drive, Parcells was so thrilled that he sprinted (think Matt Damon in The Bourne Supremacy) up the field to congratulate Henson. He immediately gave Henson another series. Keep reading for more exciting controlled scrimmage notes: • The Breakout Player Award goes to...The pride of Northern Illinois University, Sam Hurd. I know you've already read about Hurd several times on this blog, but on Saturday, he took his game to another level. Besides T.O., this kid may be the most athletic receiver on the roster. He leaped high above Nate Jones to grab a 26-yard pass from Drew Henson. Later in the drive, Henson hit him in stride down the right sideline for 31 yards. When we asked chief scout Jeff Ireland which players stood out to him, Hurd was the first name out of his mouth. By our very unofficial stats, Hurd had five catches for 95 yards. Now, I'm not telling you to run out and draft him for your fantasy team. I'm just saying it's becoming harder and harder to keep this guy off your roster. • Ellis no longer on an island: On the second play of the scrimmage, defensive end/linebacker Greg Ellis (left) beat RT Marc Colombo to sack Drew Bledsoe. On play No. 75, Ellis smacked Julius Jones near the line of scrimmage. A play later, he leaped to block a Bledsoe pass. And he was playing outside linebacker on those last two plays. Who knows. Maybe this switch is starting to grow on him. • Where can you find a Barber around here? Listen, I know this has been covered in a couple of other reports, but it bears repeating. Barber began the second series with a 23-yard run around the right side. We had him rushing for about 70 yards and he also made some plays in the passing game. Julius Jones is still your home run back, but Barber's the guy who could wear down a defense. • The OL shuffle: For now, Rob Petitti is playing in front of Flozell Adams at left tackle. Adams did get one series with the first team, but then Petitti came back in. Petitti played left tackle for four years in college (Pittsburgh) and said the transition wasn't a problem. It did catch him by surprise, though. Some of us were pretty concerned about the offensive line heading into this season. And now, with all the shuffling, that concern is growing. I did see assistant head coach Tony Sparano come up and congratulate rookie offensive tackle Pat McQuistan after the scrimmage. McQuistan (6-5, 315) played mostly guard in college. The defense had seven sacks in the 100-play scrimmage, but not all of them were the line's fault. We saw rookie tight end Anthony Fasano get overwhelmed by DeMarcus Ware a couple of times, but that's going to happen. I'll be back in a minute with Controlled Scrimmage Quick Hits...

THIS WEEK: Friday, April 13th 2012 @ 7:30 pm
(Rebroadcast Sunday @ 11 am )
THE RESULTS ARE IN: It did take more than a week, but we finally know who actually is serving on the Kansas City Missouri School Board. After the votes for the write in candidates were tallied up, Airick Leonard West retained his seat and will remain as the board's president. Duane Kelly lost his seat after 12 years. In all three new board members will be helping shape the future direction of the district.
GIVING MAYOR ROLE IN SCHOOL DISTRICT AFFAIRS: Newly reappointed school board president Airick Leonard West proposes a bold plan to radically reshape the board and give Mayor James a greater say in running the district. The board would shrink in size and elections would shift to August to attract more voters. But what difference would these changes make?
CLEAVER AND THE CAR WASH: What's the big deal about Kansas City Congressman Emanuel Cleaver and a car wash he owns in Grandview? Why would taxpayers be on the hook for more than a million dollars to cover a bad loan on the business? How does this impact Cleaver's political career?
MISSOURI GOVERNOR'S CANDIDATE: How willing is the public to overlook the personal financial problems experienced by political candidates and public officials? In the race for Missouri Governor, Dave Spence, the main Republican candidate trying to unseat Jay Nixon, is running on a simple platform: He's a businessman, and Missouri is a business. But an examination of tax and finance records shows that his companies have been late paying property, personal property, manufacturers' and other taxes totaling tens of thousands of dollars dating to 1995, and as recently as 2010. This is the same candidate who claimed on his campaign materials that he had a degree in economics but later acknowledged it was a degree in home economics. How are these latest revelations impacting his campaign?
COURTS ACROSS KANSAS SHUTTERED FRIDAY: This will affect thousands who need marriage licenses, protective orders and other day-to-day necessities of life. The entire court system is being shuttered because of a Kansas legislative impasse. And there are going to be more forced court closing days ahead. State lawmakers recently adjourned their regular session of the legislature in Topeka without approving a budget for the courts. Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss ordered Kansas courts shut down and 1,500 employees furloughed without pay. The Legislature doesn't return for its wrap up session until April 25th where most of the important issues of the session still have to be resolved. What's happening in Topeka that's caused such an extreme measure? As lawmakers have now completed their regular session of the legislature, what has been accomplished? Aren't most of the major issues of the session still unresolved?
NIXON IN BRAZIL: Missouri Governor Jay Nixon is off to Brazil this weekend. He's departing with the first lady Saturday on a five-day trade mission to Sao Paulo to expand Missouri exports to the South American country. And we are told the travel costs are being covered by the Hawthorn Foundation, a nonprofit group funded and run by Missouri businesses that often finances gubernatorial trips related to economic development. We talked about what's been accomplished in Kansas this session. Is there any major significant legislation that has passed in Missouri this year?

Hello there,
I was wondering what the job prospects for somebody like myself are.
So here we go, i am a 23 year old English man. I graduated last year and have since got 6 months experience working as a teaching assistant at a primary school. I lived in Brazil for over a year and speak Portuguese fluentnly (Probably irrelevant). I am going to do the TEFL course in the next couple of months.
Right then, the countries that i would most like to teach in are Peru, Indonesia and Brazil.
What are the chances of me getting a job in these places?
Does anybody have experience of working in these countries and if so how did they find it?
Also, if i complete the course by May, what is a reasonable date to expect to be working abroad.
Thanks, Kam.

Update: We've had a full top-feeder with that sweet syrup on for two weeks now, and they're not interested!
But they must be starving. :'( I'm not sure there is anything else we can do for them?
I just have to ask this question, because I had a strange experience with the Mann Lake feeder. I bought a brand new Mann Lake feeder like the one you are using and I placed it directly on the hive with sugar syrup in it and the bees absolutely would not go up into the feeder for several days. I finally took the feeder off and washed it very thoroughly in soapy water to get any plastic smells off the feeder. I detected a plastic smell coming from the feeder when I opened the hive and I believe that is why the bees would not go up into the feeder. When I cleaned the feeder really well and placed it back on the hive with new syrup, then they drank like mad. If this is a new feeder from Mann Lake, you might want to make sure and give it a good cleaning before placing on the hive. The bees smell that new plastic odor and will not drink from it.
Place some sugar or a baggy with feed on top the frames and see what happens.
- Limit the winter room as big as bees densely occupy frames- If hive has empty combs, take extra box with empty combs.- Pour syrup into combs in slanting position- Put those frames in empty box and box and wintering box over that.
finsky, the dry sugar on the inner cover is only there for emergency feeding if you can't/don't get into the hive and supplies run low. i had such a bad honey year that almost all of my stores are from syrup feeding. since i won't be able to feed syrup again for a few months, the granulated sugar is just a little insurance against starvation.
the syrup would be my choice also. it's the rain that keeps me from opening my hives for long periods of time.

Traditional hummus is made from garbanzo beans (chick peas), and since legumes are not allowed on the Paleo diet, unfortunately neither is hummus. But fret not Paleo pals, because we have a delicious solution for you! For those times when you need a veggie dip or an appetizer idea that will make heads turn, try this delicious Paleo hummus recipe made from cauliflower and other veggies (instead of garbanzos). Serve it with a side of veggie sticks or Paleo crackers as an appetizer or a table snack at your next get-together, and your guests will keep coming back for more! For some extra kick, add a few dashes of cayenne pepper to the mix. This recipe also freezes and defrosts well. Our Paleo hummus recipe is based on our Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Sauce recipe.
|olive oil
|cauliflower, cored and cut into 1-1/2 inch florets
|sea salt, (optional)
|black pepper, freshly ground
|tahini, (may be found in many middle eastern markets or at Whole Foods)
|garlic clove(s), smashes and minced into a paste
|lemon(s), juiced
- Preheat oven to 500 F.
- Toss cauliflower, olive oil, cumin, sea salt (if desired) and black pepper together in a large bowl.
- Transfer mixture to rimmed baking sheet and spread out evenly.
- Bake until cauliflower is browned and tender, 25 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Combine tahini, garlic, lemon juice and roasted cauliflower in a food processor. Blend until a smooth paste forms (add additional olive oil if desired).
- Season with sea salt (if desired) and sprinkle paprika on top.
- Serve warm or cold with assorted vegetables.

Double the olive oil, add 1/4 cup water (I assume I had a larger cauliflower than called for?). I also prefer double the garlic and added an 1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper for a little kick! It is delicious! My boyfriend couldn't believe it was cauliflower.
A very tasty dish. I tossed in a handful of roasted walnuts and gave the final puree a couple pulses in order to take this hummus to that smokey, nutty place.
Definitely a keeper.
I just made this… I likey!!! Easy to make!! How long is it good for in the frig???
Can I freeze this? (My new hobby is freezing food since I have so little time for prep and cooking on many days of the week).
hi ive been looking for a healthier alternative to hummus. isnt tahini made from sesame seeds? i thought all seeds were nutrient inhibitors and should be avoided. could i leave the tahini out or substitute for something else?
Cauliflower is in the oven! Wish me luck, I love Hummus so I'm glad I found this Paleo Hummus recipe :)
Ok I added a few splashes of water extra, roasted walnuts and more olive oil towards the end. Suppppper yummy! Thank you Paleo plan for a great recipe!
Hello! We just made this Paleo Hummus and love it! Just one quick question, how long will this last in the refrigerator? Thank you!
This was good – a little too spicy for my kids, but I'll know to take it easy on the cumin for next time. I added a couple of roasted red peppers I had left over from an opened jar which made it even better. Thanks!
I actually skipped the oven part, and cooked in the microwave. The moisture was retained and turned out amazing! Much faster too. 6 mins…
Really good, I used one of those cheddar cauliflowers, guess they have more beta-carotene than the white kind, couldn't find tahini so had to find out what it was and make it (roasted sesame seeds pureed with olive oil), and used juice from 3 1/2 lemons. I've eaten half the batch already. I think this could be used in other dishes, maybe to thicken a soup or something.
I am new to the paleos diet and a huge fan of hummus, and was so glad to have found this recipe! After reading some of the comments I decided to cut my tahini in half and add some extra olive oil. And being a huge fan of lemons, I doubled on the lemon juice! I even added cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
This is definitely a new fave of mine and thanks so much for sharing!
This is delish! It is a great thing to grab when a hunger pang sparks. Healthy and wonderful with cucumbers and celery.
I was wondering why I couldnt just use the traditional chickpeas since they are technically seeds kind of like quinoa?
I've never cooked anything at 500 degrees in the oven before (not that I cook very often) so just wanted to double check that is the correct temperature. In the middle of the first week of the 21 day paleo challenge.
I was so excited to try this but then it turned out to be incredibly BITTER once it was all mixed up together…:( Yet all the separate ingredients were yummy (yes, I have tasted the cauliflower before mixing it and it was good). Any idea what happened??
I was concerned about the 500 degree temperature as well. That's practically broiling it? Seems awful high. But if it works, great! Just making sure.
Also, I could see ripe avocado being a great addition to this. I substitute it for cream textures in a lot of recipes. Top with chopped tomatoes? Yum.
This was delicious. Added some parsley out the garden and some water.
Are you able to post the nutrition info? it would be nice to know the serving size, calories etc..,
All the recipes I have tried so far are great!
This freezes great! I only had it in there a few days, and I couldn't wait for it to thaw so I defrosted it in the microwave for 10 minutes. Tasted exactly the same and no change in consistency.
OMG! I just made this and it is sooo good! It's better than regular hummus and you can spice it up to your liking. I added 5 cloves of garlic and two lemons. I can't wait to share this recipe! Thank you!
Wow, this is awesome….I can't believe this is paleo. This tastes better then the original hummus….paleo rocks…paleo for life!

State Senator Michael Rubio resigns
Resignation effective immeadiately
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A Democratic state senator from the Central Valley has resigned unexpectedly, dropping Democrats below the two-thirds threshold they need to pass tax changes or override vetoes.
Sen. Michael Rubio from Shafter, which is near Bakersfield, announced his resignation Friday to take a government affairs job with Chevron Corporation.
Rubio did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but Greg Schmidt, secretary of the Senate, confirmed his resignation letter to The Associated Press.
In the letter, the first-term senator said the job of a legislator kept him away from his wife and two daughters. He also noted that his youngest child has special needs.
With two Democratic-leaning seats already vacant, Rubio's resignation temporarily drops Democrats to 26 seats in the Senate, one shy of a supermajority.

|Summary: A mode switching tool for controlling multiple-device USB gear
USB_ModeSwitch is a mode switching tool for controlling "flip flop" (multiple device) USB gear. It allows so-called "Zero-CD" devices that show up as USB storage initially to be switched into their more useful "application mode". This is most common for UMTS/3G wireless WAN devices.

|4 Jaw Chuck
|It will loosen up in the first 15 minutes of starting, it's good to go.
4 jaw chuck............so are you telling me its ok and dont worry because it doe not have any free-play in the chain,its not bound up or anything the cam spraket went on easy but there is not anty give or slight bend in the chain at all, you can push and pull it from the sides and its like a steel bar,i just want to know its ok and that its just the nature of the beast type thing and i can put it back togather .and get my vette back on the road
|4 Jaw Chuck
Roller chains usually fit tighter due to the roller design compared to the involute factory style chain. Clearance in a roller is determined by the clearance space between the pin and the roller, wear will make the chain looser and hence a new one should be snug.
Involute types (OEM STYLE) actually ride out farther on the sprockets to take up clearance and self adjust for wear as a result, this makes them particularly useful for high mileage/stock applications. This feature also reduces noise and will quell harmonics in the valvetrain. The best part...the higher it is loaded the tighter it becomes, a very desirable valvetrain characteristic.
The only reason to ever choose a roller over a stock involute type is for the higher tensile strength of the roller design, the pin is larger than the involute pin. I think most builders will agree that an involute type is by far the superior design for every application other than pure racing where durability at high rpm is more important than harmonic dampening and noise.
In most cases a steel gear involute design will be strong enough for any application, if you are breaking them and need a roller, you have other problems that need solving first. The exception to this rule is chains that must reverse direction such as overhead cam chains where an idler is required to take up slack, the roller can reverse because of it's symetrical design, the one sided involute cannot. There are reversing involutes available but they very thick compared to a roller and are typically used only for timing critical drives where self adjustment under load is of paramount importance (old punch card CNC machinery is a good example).
Unfortunetly the magazines make it out to be quite the opposite because a roller is sexy. :skeptic:
timing chain tension
I just installed a new cam, lifters,and timing gear/chain set....have"nt even got it put back togather yet ,BUT....after finishing installing the chain i noticed that it is really tight..like no free play at all..is this normal on a high performance timing chain set ? or is it that i am just so use to sloppy oem type ?................oh, a little info on the car and type of cam set-up: chev 350/goodwrench 250hp.......crain street racing cam #100052 energizer (454/454 lift) matching cam & lifter set, and a eldelbrock performer dual width-link chain and matching steel gears..(#7800)...its in a 79 vette..........to finish it off i have a new polished elderbrock performer intake to stick on top of it all...thanks for any info you might have on this, i am sure a lot of you guys have installed performance timing chain sets many times in the past ...if they are really that tight ,that should gain a little performance over the oem kind..its sure a sturdy one...VETTE GUY.......

Fellow Hunters -
Forgive my limited post "identity," as I'm prone to learning by osmosis.
I've considered several options to incorporate "pre-fab" shoulder studs on the armor. As a result, I opted to hand cut/saw the studs from pressure treated 1x2's..mind you trimmed down from there and sanded smooth with a slight bevel to each stud, and w/in reasonable proportions.
After, I recessed a flat-head machine screw w/ 2 ton epoxy allowing me to utilize the stud "head" as the bolt "head." Extremely effective, if not otherwise discussed on this forum previously by utilizing resin casts.
I should note that my search on the TDH site had limited reference outside of pitching a purchasable(sp) alternative item and/or BB's ref CD. ;) :D
Please look for ref pics of the concept in application.

5 Classic Holiday Gifts that Never Go Out of Style
December 8, 2012 at 10:00 am melissaanddoug Leave a comment
From planes to wooden trains and other classic toys, there are certain holiday gifts that never go out of style. This week at Melissa & Doug, we're celebrating these classic holiday gifts—and featuring a few new favorites as well! But first, we wanted to share our thoughts on what makes a toy truly a "classic."
A classic toy is built on a few core values: hands-on interaction, open-ended opportunities for imagination, beautiful design, and top-quality wooden construction that stands the test of time. Designed to engage children in the kind of play that comes most naturally to them, these beloved wooden toys build key developmental skills such as hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, counting, sorting, and shape recognition, and social skills at exactly the right rate for every child.
If you're looking to give a classic toy this holiday season, here are some of our favorites, modeled by our wonderful fans from Instagram!
Wooden Play Sets
A "wooden play set" is a wonderful world, designed to spark a child's imagination and inspire hours of creative play. Traditionally, these classic toys, such as our Whittle World line, have been popular due to their durability and simple styles. Made with sturdy wooden play pieces, the toys can withstand hours of play without missing a beat. Plus, different wooden sets can mix and match with one another as a different world of creative play unfolds every day.
Trains and trucks are some of the most popular classic toys. The playtime possibilities are truly endless, and for generations children have embraced the imaginative scenarios that result from playing with these vehicle toys. Some standard favorites are trains, race cars, rescue vehicles (what child doesn't love to make the whirling siren sound?), trucks, and construction vehicles.
A newer version of this classic favorite is our Big Rig Building Truck Play Set, which combines two timeless playtime activities: vehicle play and building! The tough, two-piece tractor-trailer comes packed with wooden construction pieces and pre-drilled with holes for the wooden nails and bolts. Kids can use the tools to connect the pieces in stand-alone structures, or build right onto the truck itself.
A great classic toy is one that involves "tools" for your little one to bang away and have a blast! Tool toys also help build important skills such as hand-eye coordination, counting, color identification, and fine motor skills as kids work with screws, saws, hammers, nuts and bolts, and more!
Gear Toys
Little hands love to practice spinning! Gear toys are a classic favorite because they allow children to practice their motor skills in a unique, playful way. Interlocking pieces provide hours of hands-on fun, with shapes that are bulky enough to easily rearrange among a variety of pegs. With our new Switch & Spin Magnetic Gear Board, kids can practice making their own gear machines based on different picture templates for a new "spin" on a classic favorite.
Stacking Toys
Kids love to stack things . . . almost as much as they love knocking things over! That's why sturdy stacking toys are high on our list of classic favorites. With bright colors and smooth wood finishes, stacking toys have traditionally helped children with a number of developmental skills, including color identification, size recognition, grasping skills, and counting. Plus, there's no "right" or "wrong" way to play with a stacking toy, so your child's imagination can truly run wild!

I need a little help with this. I am from Georgia and my brother is in Missouri. We are looking for some public locations in Kentucky (in the middle for both of us), that have some good duck hunting.
If there is anyone familiar with the area i would appreciate some knowledge being shared. I am not looking for anyones secret hole, but just some general info for good areas to get a few ducks for a weekend.
Thanks for any help!

Newtons Laws -
1. objects tend to keep whatever state of motion they have, unless an unbalanced (ie net) force (like friction) acts on them
2. objects tend to keep the motion they have as a factor of there Mass.
Force = Mass x Acceleration or simply F=mA
both force and Acceleration are vectors (have magnitude and direction), and thus the acceleration (change in motion) will only be in the direction of the net force.
3. every force has an equal and opposite force. i push on the wall, the wall pushes back on me.
Work, Energy and Power
Energy and work have a really circular definition. energy is the ability to do work (called joules), and work is defined as the changing of an objects energy(also measured in joules). Power is defined as the amount of work in a time interval(joules per second). the English units typically used are ft*lbsf (called foot pounds) and ft*lbsf/sec. 550 ft*lbsf/sec = 1 hp.
Work = Force x Distance (the force must actually move the object to do work)
kinetic Energy = (1/2)mv^2
Gravitational Potential Energy = ghm
so, an example of energy and work is simply lifting a stone.
a stone on the floor unmoving has no mechanical energy. when i lift the stone, i am doing work on it (applying a force and moving it a distance). so now the stone has more energy. the time it took me to raise the stone is how much power i have (the faster the more powerful).
Conservation of Energy
this is a fundamental tenant of the universe. under some circmstances it can be broken (near the speed of light...), but then we are talking nuclear mechanics. NOTHING like has ever or will ever take place in a paintball gun. for all realistic modeling of paintball and anything related to it, this is a law harder than a 17 year old who took 5 Viagra.
the perfect example of this is the coaster example. in a roller coaster, you build up a tremendous amounts of gravitational potential energy, and though the course of the ride you trade your potential energy to kinetic energy and back again maybe a dozen times.
of course eventually the coaster will come to a stop right? doesn't that seem like energy is being destroyed?
gravity is the force converting all potential energy to kinetic, and then it is doing negative work to the coaster when it takes the potential back from the kinetic. gravity is doing alot of work. however, another force is doing alot of work too - friction. friction is doing work (transferring energy) from the coaster the whole time. friction is converting kinetic energy to heat energy. another force is also doing work - air resistance. air resistance is transferring kinetic energy into kinetic energy of air. in fact, one might even say that the coaster is doing work on the air around it, to move it.
all this talk of friction means i should probably define it for you. friction is caused by the molecules of one object being attracted to the molecules of another object. think of it like velcro, hooks on one side, fuzzy stuff on the other. now, what causes friction is somewhat minor when we talk about mechanics because we simply dont care. friction is real, and thats really all that matters.
there are two types of friction, kinetic, and static friction. kinetic friction is between two bodies that are moving relative to each other, and static is between two bodies that are stationary to each other.
to calculate friction, we need to use something called the co-efficient of friction. this a a property value that we look up in a book. obviously since different types of objects have different amounts of friction its easy to see that the surfaces pushed together and what they are made of is important.
Materials in Contact........Coefficient of Static Friction* S........Coefficient of Kinetic Friction * K
Wood on wood................................0.5.....................................0.3
Waxed ski on snow..........................0.1 .......................................0.05
Ice on ice .......................................0.1................................0.03
Rubber on concrete (dry)..................1.0.......................................0.8
Rubber on concrete (wet).................0.7........................................0.5
Teflon on Teflon .............................0.04......................................0.04
Synovial joints (in humans) ..............0.01.....................................0.01
* These values are approximate and intended only for comparison.
now, another thing you can see is that static friction is ALWAYS greater than or equal to kinetic friction. that makes sense, it explains why you can do break stands in a cars and such. it explains why drifting and burning out are bad, and why indy cars and drag racers never do that.
so the equation for calculating friction is - Force of friction = Coefficient of friction x the force pushing the two surfaces together
usually shortened to F = (mu)N
notice, surface area is nowhere in that equation. the size of the surfaces being pushed together does not matter when calculating friction.
Air Resistance and other damping forces
air resistance is a pickle. see air resistance is a differential relationship. meaning, you need to know calculus to solve most fluid resistance problems. i cannot possibly teach you calculus but i will say a bit about this.
the reason it requires calculus is because air resistance is a function of velocity. velocity is the derivative of the position function, so theirs where you get your calculus.
but one thing i can tell on relatively simple terms is that the faster an object is moving (velocity) the larger the force. often times its modeled as a power function, meaning the resistance is equal to the velocity squared. other inputs into the force of air resistance are shape and surface texture.
fortunately in paintball, most of the time shape, mass and all that jazz is a constant when comparing things because most paintball are pretty similar.
The Calculus of Motion or kinematics (sort of)
ok, i figured since i mentioned velocity and that whole bag i would explain a bit about that. Sir Issac Newton in england and Libneitz (sp?) in germany both discovered calculus almost simultaneously because both were studying motion and realized how important rate of change is to the study of motion. they are both given credit for the discovery.
anyway, the important thing is the rate of change of an object.
the position function describes the path an object takes, and you can use it to find where the object is at any given time.
if we take the derivative (otherwise known as finding the rate of change) of the position, we get velocity. velocity is the rate of change of the position. velocity is alot like the speed an object has, however speed is simply a number, and velocity has a direction and a magnitude. it is enough to say that the velocity is how the position of the object is changing, how fast, and in which direction is the position changing.
if we take the derivative of the velocity, the rate of change of the velocity, we will have the acceleration. acceleration describes how the velocity is changing, and in which direction. the acceleration is very important because of the previously mentioned F = mA. Acceleration, like velocity is a vector, and has both a value and a direction.
something we deal with ALL the time in paintball. pressure is simply a Force over an Area. whenever we have a force that is pushing against an area, we have pressure. no, pressure does no only apply to fluids but to anything that has a force and an area.
ideal gas
the ideal gas law is the start of ideal fluids. there are about a million and half differnet versions of the ideal gas law putting it in different terms, like molar mass, mass, and whatnot. the basic chemestry form is
PV = nRT
where P is pressure, V is volume, and T is absolute temperature. R is a constant, and n is the molar mass (if i remember right)
basically, as long as your working with a fixed amount of mass (like we typically are in paintball), pressure and volume will go up if temperature rises, and if temp remains the same, then pressure and volume must trade off.
ideal fluid flow
the only real way to understand fluid mechanics is to use energy. as stated before, energy is neither created, nor destroyed. so the energy at the start of your dynamic system must be equal to the energy at the end. so fluids have many different types of energy -
Pressure is a measure of potential energy (P)
Velocity is a measure of kinetic energy (V)
and gravitational potential energy (z)
later, i will discuss thermodynamic properties of fluids. in most cases in paintball, heat and that energy is just not a very large factor, so we can neglect it. in most cases we neglect the gravitational effect aswell because air is not very heavy, and its not moving in that direction very much.
what those three terms build for us is the Bernoulli equation. again, it has a few different forms but most commonly stated -
(P/density*g)+(V^2/2*g)+z = constant throughout the system.
in this equation, the first term is pressure potential energy, the second is kinetic energy, and the third is the gravitational potential energy. every term in this equation translates directly into feet, or meters. in fluids we call feet of elevation (what it represents), head. yeah, i know. funny stuff right?
anyway, we use this equation to solve for all sorts of different stuff. if we know the pressure in a dump chamber (velocity of the fluid is zero, and z term is neglected) and we vent it, we can predict how fast the fluid will be moving (pressure drops to zero, z term still neglected) because we know that energy is constant, it just changes form.
another useful equation in basic fluid mechanics is for solving flow. the letter Q is often used.
flow is defined as the amount of stuff going though a specific area. the equation is simply Q = Area(V)
this again, must be constant (assuming no leaks). so basically it means that if the cross sectional area shrinks, the velocity must be faster.
Stats and Experimental Design
i really hate stats. unfortunately, knowing the basics of stats is HUGELY important in scientific testing.
the reason we use confidence intervals and other stats methods to look at our data (deals with gun consistency) -
the issue is finding the "true mean" vs the "sample mean" if i want to find the average age of all poeple in the entire world, what do i do?i decide on what would be a representative sample of the world, poll those poeple, and calculate the mean right?
when we do that we are finding a sample mean.
the question is - how close to the true mean (if you actually polled everyone on the entire planet) age?
that's where the CI comes in.
so yes, we can do a comparative study by agreeing on a common sample size and say "well that guns three shots are more consistent than that guns three shots"
however, what we really want to know is how consistent EVERY shot from the gun is.
to do this, we are comparing a sample mean (the shots fired over the chrono) to the true mean (the velocity of ALL shots the gun ever fires).
a CI simple compares the variation in the data (standard deviation), with the number of samples taken, and then shows you how accurate to the true mean our sample mean is.
so you see, we use confidence intervals to look at how different our sampled mean (the data points we take in a test) to the true mean (if we had data on every single event under those conditions).
the equation for a two sided confidence interval is (mean) +/- (tvalue x standard deviation)/ Sqroot(number of events)
the t value is a textbook value based on a normal distribution, and we can decide how inclusive our results are by judging if we want to 90%, 95%, 99%, or even 99.9%. what that means that if we take a sample size of say muzzle velocities, then calculate the CI around it, we choose how inclusive our range is. if we calculate the CI based off a 90% t value, then we can be 90% sure that our next group of samples of velocity will fall in that range. with a CI we can look at exactly how good our sample is compared to the "true" values of ALL shot velocities.
MORE to come. comments please?

When a property is rehabilitated or improved by new construction, the assessed value may increase because of the investments made in the property. In some cases this may deter investment. In order to encourage the fullest development of property and to encourage investment in New Haven�s existing commercial and residential building stock, the City Wide Assessment Deferral Program freezes the property tax assessments on certain eligible properties at pre-construction or pre-rehabilitation values and then phases in the taxes assessed on the improvements over a period of five years.
How it works.
� Prior to the start of construction or rehabilitation, the owner of the property files an application for a determination of eligibility.
� During construction, the assessment of the property is frozen at the pre-rehabilitation assessed value. Upon completion of rehabilitation or construction, but not more than two years from the effective date of the agreement, a five-year phase-in period begins.
� In the first year, the taxable assessment of the property remains at the pre-rehabilitation level. On the third anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, twenty percent (20%) of the assessed value of the improvements to the property is assessed against the property and an additional twenty percent (20%) of the increased value is assessed against the property for each of the next four years, until one hundred percent (100%) of the increase is assessed.

i can find no definitive research that proves small cell reduces varroa.
A true scientist would try it and find out for themselves. It's not difficult.
gota go with finsky on the small cell. i can find no definitive research that proves small cell reduces varroa. that said, i intend to try starter strips. i want to see if i get more/better wax from it. i have a plan...... :evil:
I obviously cant appreciate all of the extra work and heartache you face.
The full sheets of foundation cut down to strips goes a long way. 1 inch strips (you get 8 from 1 deep sheet) means on sheet of foundation makes 8 frames (1 full box for me) of frames with starter strips. the bees will regress the comb size down from the industry standard which is also helpful in Varroa control.
Question, how is the strip of foundation kept in place in the frame? The frames I get have the groove in the top and bottom bar.Is slipping the foundation strip into the top groove enough to hold it in place?
If you use starter strips, what supports the comb as only one side would be attached? Particularly if you use an extractor.
You can place wires in the frame and the bees will build the comb around them. Or wait until they have attached the comb to all the sides and do it carefully
if i were to do it on deeps do you think you'd have to use wires if the deeps were on used for brood. i'm worried about sagging or melting in heat.as i said, my goal is good wax. i only intend to do this with one hive. good wax is worth more than honey!! but you don't get so much :-(

Johns Hopkins researchers have uncovered a protein "partner" commonly used by breast cancer cells to unlock genes needed for spreading the disease around the body. A report on the discovery, published Nov. 5 on the website of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, details how some tumors get the tools they need to metastasize.
"We've identified a protein that wasn't known before to be involved in breast cancer progression," says Gregg Semenza, M.D., Ph.D., the C. Michael Armstrong Professor of Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of the Vascular Program at the university's Institute for Cell Engineering. "The protein JMJD2C is the key that opens up a whole suite of genes needed for tumors to grow and metastasize, so it represents a potential target for cancer drug development." Semenza also is associate director of the Johns Hopkins Physical Sciences-Oncology Center.
Semenza and his colleagues made their finding when they traced the activity of HIF-1, a protein known to switch on hundreds of genes involved in development, red blood cell production, and metabolism in normal cells. Previous studies had shown that HIF-1 could also be hijacked to switch on genes needed to make breast tumors more malignant.
Would-be tumor cells face a host of challenges as they make the transition from working with their host to working against it, such as the need to evade the immune system and to produce more cancer cells, explains Weibo Luo, Ph.D., an instructor in the Institute for Cell Engineering and Department of Biological Chemistry who led the project. All of these efforts require switching on the right genes for the job.
To learn more about how HIF-1 works, the researchers tested a range of human proteins to see whether they would interact with HIF-1. They then sifted through the 200 resulting hits, looking for proteins involved in chemical changes to sections of DNA that determine whether or not the genes they contain are available for use. "In order for HIF-1 to switch genes on, they have to be available, but many of the genes HIF-1 activates are normally locked down in mature cells," explains Luo. "So we thought HIF-1 must have a partner that can do the unlocking."
That partner turned out to be JMJD2C, Luo says. Delving deeper, the researchers found that HIF-1 switches on the JMJD2C gene, stimulating production of the protein. HIF-1's presence also enables JMJD2C to bind to DNA at other HIF-1 target genes, and then loosen those DNA sections, enabling more HIF-1 to bind to the same sites and activate the target genes.
To test the implications of their discovery, the research team injected mice with breast cancer cells in which the JMJD2C protein was not produced. Tumors with depleted JMJD2C were much less likely to grow and metastasize to the lungs, confirming the protein's role in breast cancer progression, says Luo.
"Active HIF proteins have been found in many types of tumors, so the implications of this finding go beyond breast cancer," says Luo. "JMJD2C is both an important piece of the puzzle of how tumors metastasize, and a potential target for anti-cancer therapy."
Other authors of the research report are Ryan Chang, Jun Zhong, Ph.D., and Akhilesh Pandey, M.D., Ph.D., all of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
This work was supported by grants from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (contracts N01-HV28180 and HHS-N268201000032C), and by funds from the Johns Hopkins Institute for Cell Engineering.

Bullying Leading to PTSD in Some Kids
Most people probably associate post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with men and women who have been in battle during war or experienced a traumatic life-changing event such as 9-11.
A new study says that children who are victims of bullying can also suffer from PTSD and the effects can last into adulthood. The study, published by Thormod Idsoe, Atle Dyregrov, and Ella Cosmovici Idsoe, found that about 33 % of bullying victims suffer from PTSD. In addition, 40 to 60 % of adults who have been bullying victims suffer from high levels of the signs of PTSD as well.
PTSD can have a very disruptive effect on ones daily living. PTSD is a mental health disorder defined by nightmares, severe anxiety, flashbacks, uncontrollable thoughts about the event, and avoidance behavior.
"Pupils who are constantly plagued by thoughts about or images of painful experiences, and who use much energy to suppress them, will clearly have less capacity to concentrate on schoolwork," Idsoe said in a statement. "Nor is this usually easy to observe - they often suffer in silence."
Researchers at the University of Stavanger, in Norway, analyzed data from 963 students who were 14-15 years old. While boys were more likely to report they were being bullied, they found that girls were more likely to display PTSD symptoms.
Of the students who reported being bullied, 27.6% of boys and 40.5 % of girls had symptoms of PTSD. Researchers were not sure why some bullied children suffered from PTSD and some did not. "We...found that those with the worst symptoms were a small group of pupils who, in addition to being victims of bullying, frequently bullied fellow pupils themselves," Idsoe said. "One explanation, for example, could be that difficult earlier experiences make the sufferers more vulnerable, and they thereby develop symptoms and mental health problems more easily."
What are some of the symptoms of PTSD?
- Reliving the event over and over.
- Avoiding situations that remind you of the event.
- Feeling numb or unable to express feelings.
- Not interested in activities or able to enjoy them.
- Feeling keyed-up or jittery. Always on the look out for dangerous situations.
Children can experience all the above symptoms or have other symptoms depending on their age.
- Children age birth to 5 may get upset if their parents are not close by, have trouble sleeping, or suddenly have trouble with toilet training or going to the bathroom.
- Children age 6 to 11 may act out the trauma through play, drawings, or stories. Some have nightmares or become more irritable or aggressive. They may also want to avoid school or have trouble with schoolwork or friends.
- Children age 12 to 18 have symptoms more similar to adults: depression, anxiety, withdrawal, or reckless behavior like substance abuse or running away.
Many schools are finally beginning to take bullying seriously. They have instituted anti-bullying programs and sometimes provide counseling - although allotted counseling time is often too short.
There are two types of treatments for PTSD, psychotherapy and medications. If your child is experiencing PTSD make sure that you find a therapist trained in pediatric PTSD therapy. PTSD can persist for years in some children and follow-up care is necessary to help your child heal and move forward.
There are also many excellent online resources for how to deal with bullies and suggestions for what to do if your child is being bullied.
The study was published in the Journal of Adolescent Psychology.

The University of St. Thomas Performing Arts Society raised nearly $30,000 in a membership campaign that culminated in the Membership Tea on Nov. 6 at the River Oaks home of Dr. and Mrs. P. Michael Mann. More than 125 guests attended the event, which honored Kelli Cohen Fein and Martin Fein.
All net proceeds from the Membership Tea benefit scholarships for music and drama students at St. Thomas. At the tea, members had the opportunity to renew their membership, enjoy talented UST singers perform Broadway show tunes and learn more about upcoming Performing Arts Society events.
Guests included Membership Tea chairs Mary Ann McKeithan and Barbara Van Postman, as well as Jes Hagale, chair of "New Vision, New Stars" benefit concert.
The second annual benefit will be held Jan. 22, when the Houston Symphony will perform Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" at Jones Hall.
Other Membership Tea guests included UST President Dr. Robert Ivany with wife Marianne, Roseanne Rogers, Kathi Rovere, Nancy Ames, Danny Ward, Cora Sue Mach, Betty Tutor, Laura Codman, Gloria Portela, Ellie Francisco, C.C. Conner, Sidney Faust, Diane Zola, Leisa Holland-Nelson, Mathilde Leary, Barbara LeGrange and Dr. Susan Osterberg.
The Feins were last year's chairs of the first benefit concert featuring Houston Opera soprano Ana Maria Martinez. At the concert, plans for UST's Performing Arts Center were unveiled, and the upcoming concert builds on the goal of raising funds for the new Center.
In keeping with St. Thomas' philosophy that fine and performing arts are essential to its mission of educating leaders of faith and character, the new Performing Arts Center will include a proscenium theatre, a black box flex theater and a multi-functional conference center. This world-class theater and conference hall will add another jewel to Houston's Museum District.
Performing Arts Society Established in 2010, the Society strives to provide students at UST, and the Greater Houston community, with access to quality performing arts opportunities while encouraging excellence. The Performing Arts Society co-chairs are Priscilla Plumb, member of the President's Advisory Board, and Jack Doherty, past membership chair of Performing Arts Society.
UST performing arts graduates excel in master's programs such as University of Washington, DePaul University, University of Texas at Austin, New York University and the New School in New York City.
Through the Advisory Council, members create awareness of the performing arts at UST, work to increase scholarship money for students, create a connection to local theatres and performing arts organizations in order to help students obtain internships. Membership to the Society will also benefit the development efforts in support of the Performing Arts Center at St. Thomas.
