Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by TanithandBenFan, Feb 27, 2014.
The Japanese part of the tour has been announced, too.
Buttle, Rochette, Arakawa, Oda, Asada, Suzuki, Murakami, Virtue & Moir, Shibutani & Shibutani, Reed & Reed, and Takahashi & Kihara
The Canadian part has been announced quite a while ago:
Chan, Virtue & Moir, Browning, Rochette, Buttle, Duhamel & Radford, Osmond, Weaver & Poje, and Sawyer.
Still ticked that the tour does not come to a city within driving distance for me. Booooo
I haven't been to an SOI show in several years. Do they still do the big production numbers with the whole cast (circa 1990s), or is it more like COI was in that the skaters just bring their exhibition programs?
That would depends on how much training time they would have between the Worlds and the tour.
Last year, the US part of the tour consisted of professionals. The Canadian tour was held after the Worlds. IIRC, they had two openings, one final, and some ensemble numbers in between.

Yey, Mirai is included in the cast!
Very happy for the additions to the US cast! It is a shame that there are still parts of the US that don't get the tour anywhere within a reasonable traveling distance.
I will be front row center on opening night of the Canadian tour and will be blogging about it all!
I wish there was some cast mingling between the US and Canadian tours! I'm in the US, but I'd love to see Buttle, Chan, Virtue/Moir, Rochette.
That's exactly how I feel, but with the overlap of the tours, that won't be the case for this season.
Boooo, no Edmunds but Nagasu instead. Boo.
because you would have gone to see it if Polina were in it?
Are non-North American skaters boycotting the tour or something? The last time I went to CSOI the only non-Canadian skater was Sasha Cohen, and I was very disappointed with the lack of elite international headliners (which, if I'm paying $100 a ticket, I want to see).
Good question. Even if I understand that Japanese skaters (for example) would be really difficult to obtain on a North American tour, I've never understood the dynamics between the US and Canadian tours.
So does all the named cast go to all the shows? Because when I look at the Chicago show, and it says "see the skaters" I click and there is no Jason Brown.
I'm not spending like $500 (2 tickets, hotel room, gas) if he's not supposed to be there.
Not surprised Polina isn't on the list as the tour is in April and she'll have missed a lot of school with Worlds & Olympics. If there is a stop local to her, I'm sure she might perform as a guest.
I was sad but not entirely surprised to see that Z/B were not on the list but very surprised to see the Shibs with their Internet following and their MJ program that seems made for SOI not in the cast. The team event was great for those who got medals but its almost like we had 2 teams- the Olympic team and the more exclusive team event medal team. But Chock & Bates at least got the tour. I guess they are IMG clients? Good for them.
I was initially surprised to see Mirai on the list but this was probably the carrot USFS offered her in exchange for her PC statement the night of the team announcement.
I'm surprised about the Shibs too, but maybe school was a factor for them as well (I have no idea how many courses they're taking atm or if they took the whole semester off)
Yeah, there is a dilution of skaters that makes attending the US tours less appealing. In recent years, the only tour that seemed to generate significant international presence was the Korean one. Though now, the Russian tours likely have enough name skaters in Russia alone to make that tour wildly popular.
A lot fewer towns than in its heyday.
I have my eye on Providence. I'm really excited to see these skaters. Sure its not Champions on Ice in its heyday, but its something fun!
At least the Shibutanis are going to the Japan tour.
disappointed moore-towers and moscovitch wont be in the canadian tour, but i can understand as they're not represented by IMG
A while ago, there was a news report that IMG made a deal with the USFS on a US tour. The report did not say which ice shows they were referring to. For the last several years, the US part of SOI could not find a sponsor and has been struggling. My suspicion is that USFS will do promotion for the tour, while SOI will focus on US skaters.
Yeah, SOI is turning into a protectionist version of the Collins tour...... quite disappointing.
I have no idea what that means.
I'm glad that there are at least more than a handful of shows for ANY skaters to be able to perform after the season and earn some $$ and for figure skating fans to be able to see live skating.
Ah, that makes sense. I was hoping to see them too - but otherwise the CSOI cast is pretty good and I'm not complaining
My thought, as well.
So Yuna isn't invited to any of the SOI? how about the Russian skaters? I would rather see Lipnitskaya, Mao and Yuna than.. some of the US skaters.
I meant it's becoming a US-only (or Canada-only) version of the Collins "Champions on Ice" tour, where you get to see the one country's latest medal winners, not necessarily seasoned pros.

Arsène Wenger believes that Borussia Dortmund are cut from the same cloth as his team.
Arsenal and the German champions played out an entertaining 1-1 draw when they met in their Group F opener at Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday night as Ivan Perisic's stunning late volley matched Robin van Persie's first-half strike.
Wenger was a whisker away from claiming three valuable points but he admits he was satisfied with one and has revealed his admiration for Dortmund - a team he feels is similar to his own.
"The team has similar qualities - they are mobile, technically they are all on the move and they have a good team discipline," said the Frenchman. "They play a modern game and they have a long distance runners in the team.
"If you look purely at the chances I think we had some very good chances," he added. "We gave them some chances away at the start of the game but especially in the second half they didn't create a lot.
"But they play similar to us and they won the league by a distance last year - I think in March it was basically decided. You don't do that in Germany without quality."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

hello i have a problem when i deal with future tense teaching.
i dont know if there is any difference in the use of "be about to" and "will".
there is an exercise from a workbook for grammar.
Construction_____________(is about to begin/ will begin) next month and we
expect it will take six months to complete.
the answer is "will begin".
another sentence in this exercise is...
A: Do you sport yourself?
B: Yes, I cycle a lot and, in fact, I ______________(am just about to go/will go)
on a hiking trip to Nepal.
the answer is "am just about to go"
so i can not see when to use "be about to" and when to use "will".
is there any principle?
thanks for your patience.

Clean and Green: Herban Lifestyle
Headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC, Mary Kearns' business calls one of the largest metropolitan areas in the nation home. But with easy access to the Shenandoah Mountains in the opposite direction, she's not that far from rural America as well. That's sort of the balance she sought to build into the name of her business.
"I wanted to get the idea across that herbs are an important part of my products, and to convey the idea that the ingredients come from the earth, as opposed to a chemistry lab," she says. "Since I am located in an urban area, I thought that "Herban Lifestyle" captured the idea of getting back to nature and the basics, even in the context of a non-rural environment."
We asked Mary to tell us more about her organic, natural, and Fair Trade ingredients, and about green news from Virginia that's inspiring her these days.

Arsène Wenger has hailed the Club's supporters after Saturday's defeat against Manchester United - and says they were not disrespectful to former Gunner Robin van Persie.
Arsenal went down 2-1 at Old Trafford, with Van Persie opening the scoring for the home side after just three minutes.
But, despite watching their side lose for the second time in three Premier League games, Arsenal's fans earned the praise of Wenger for their outstanding support.
"Our fans were fantastic today," he said. "They were always behind the team.
"They expressed their disappointment because I'm sure they love Robin and that's it. I don't think they were disrespectful. I didn't listen to that. It's shown more that they were disappointed that he joined Man United."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Admission requirements differ depending on the status of the applicant (freshman, transfer, etc.) and the level of academic program. The following sections describe the credentials considered, the admission requirements, and the application procedures for each applicant status and program level.
Secondary School Preparation
Michigan students should follow the Michigan Merit Curriculum, and all students are strongly encouraged to take core courses as follows:
- Four years of English
- Four years of college preparatory mathematics
- Four years of social studies
- Four years of science
- Two years of world language
Beyond these core courses, students are encouraged to take courses or get experience in the arts and information technology.
Computation of High School Grade Point Averages
NMU recalculates the grade point average of high school students on a 4.00 scale by counting all grades received in the core courses outlined above for a minimum of six semesters. Grades in courses designated on the transcript by the school as honors, International Baccalaureate (IB), or Advanced Placement (AP) receive added weight in the computation. If the high school includes any college courses taken while in high school on the high school transcript, those grades will receive added weight as well. If a student has earned a GED, the "score average" is equated to a grade point equivalent for admissions purposes.
Computation of College Grade Point Averages
In calculating the grade point average of transfer students, Admissions computes college-level courses only, using credits attempted and honor points earned.
Standardized Achievement Testing
All applicants for baccalaureate programs (and some associate and certificate programs) must take the ACT or SAT. Exceptions to this policy are granted to those who: (1) will have earned 12 or more semester hours of college-level credit taken after high school graduation; (2) are international students other than Canadian; (3) are persons who have been out of high school for three years or more; and (4) are applicants to some associate, certificate, certification and diploma programs.
Admission decisions are made on official documents. Applicants should request that official transcripts be sent directly to the NMU Admissions Office (1401 Presque Isle Ave., Marquette, MI 49855) from each high school and college/university/trade school attended. Students who have earned a GED must have an official score report sent to NMU from the testing center.
Home School Policy
Students who have been home schooled at any time during grades 9-12, and who have not earned 12 or more college-level credits after completion of high school, should submit their ACT/SAT results and an official transcript of courses taken and grades earned while home schooled. A final transcript verifying high school graduation/completion, or an official GED score report, is also required. The official transcript may be from a school district, home school/curriculum agency, or the parent (if the parent was the educator). If a transcript is parent-produced, it should contain the graduation date, a statement that the information is accurate, and it should be signed by the parent and notarized. Students who have completed 12 or more college-level credits after completion of high school do not need to submit a high school transcript.

Get one of those strings that lets the safety glasses hang around your neck and one pair will last about 5X as long before they get scratched up. I used to go thru a pair every couple weeks, either sticking them in my pocket or laying them down when I wasn't wearing them. Spent way too much time looking for them after I laid them down, and got the string so I could keep up with them better. But, once they're hanging there in mid air and not getting chewed up by crap on a bench or in your pocket, I found a pair will last about 3-4 months before they need replacing.
|You would think after knocking around in my shop for 50 years I would have thought of this before. It's not that my safety glasses/goggles were getting damaged as much as getting dirty and crud on them. making them almost worthless. About a year ago I found that I just keep them in a gallon size zip freezer bag on a shelf under my grinder they stay clean and almost like new. Took them out today to do some metal cutting and they were still like new after a year.
Those 1.50 safty glasses
Man, I thought I hit the jackpot the other day.I was at the check out at HF and saw safty glasses for around 1.50 so I bought a couple pair to try out. when I got to the shop I noticed they were a little small around the eyes but they had some good side protection so I put them on and bent over to pick up my grinder and they fell off ,I put them back on and started working but they were constantly slipping down,I ended up throwing them in the trash about 5 min later ,the unopened pair along with them.I grabed a pair that I polished up and used them...10.00 a pair is a lot when you go through them like I do but you cant beat a good pair that are fully adjustable ,being able to polish the scratches out of them in a couple seconds is very handy indeed.
I imagine the little buffer that comes with some of those headlight kits would also work but I dont have one ...
There are not sufficient as far as they leave a gaping gap around the eyes,plus they only have a slight impact resistant factor compared to a good pair of Z87.1 Polycarbonate pair like the Smith & Wessons..you can litteraly lay them down on a table and beat the crap out of them with a 8# sledge and never break the lens.,try that with ANY prescription glasses.....
Prescription safety glass frames cost less because they are not made from metals and not fancy designs,they are plastic impact resistant.Much cheaper process to make.
I agree about welding spatter should never even get to the glasses..but i think you're mis-understanding..the grinding and cutting with a torch leaves spatter on them,not the welding behind a shield..now a days on safety regulated jobs you will have to wear a face sheild anytime grinding or cutting with a torch or plasma...
Times have changed as far as safety rules,for a good reason because the past decades of people with serious life altering injuries and deaths in the past is being used as reasons to get stricter and find reasonable solutions...
One more reason i would rather wear the safety glasses designed to go over the prescription glasses...
How much does just 1 pair of those prescription safety glasses cost?...You could buy a few boxes or more of the safety glasses designed to fit over the prescription glasses to what the script pair costs.
It doesn't matter WHAT type you wear..glass or plastic.they WILL get stratched and ruined.
Buy the little cheap kits for glass cleaning with the right solution and material to clean them without scratching them,they even cheaply sell boxes of little packets like the "moist towlettes" that are made for cleaning glasses,you'll triple or more the life of them..wiping them off with your shirt,paper towels,tissues..etc..scratches them,i keep the tray in my lunch box loaded up with the little packets for mine,and even stuff a few in my pocket while workin a job or in my shop at home.
And when they get real bad,do like Mike does(deadbodyman) and polish them if you don't feel like buying more.
The wrap around style I use (they also double as my motorcycle rising glasses)
are $1.19 at my local industrial supply. Buy 'em by the box.
It's not worth my time or my polish to refurb 1 dollar glasses. Glad it works for you though.
|When that was a concern for me--and it was, but years ago--I'd scrape the spatter off with a utility knife every week or two.
|The problem with a glass lens is not so much welding spatter as it is from grinding spatter which will turn them into sandpaper PDQ!
Four things:
1. Prescription
2. Glass lenses (I tried plastic lenses, they scratch easily. I've heard that plastic lenses are "good" for welders, as the welding spatter doesn't stick. Big deal--the spatter shouldn't be getting to you eyeglasses to begin with.)
4. Side shields to fit the frames
Nice thing is that safety frames cost LESS than the regular frames. Tells me something about the profit margins of regular eyeglasses.
|Jim Rockford
|Hey great Idea....
Tired of buying new safty glasses ??????
If your anything like me and cant see so good ,using a scuffed up pair of safty glasses just wont do,they gotta be like new.. I must have two dozen pair scatterd around the shop that are too scuffed to use or they got over spray on them,and at 10.00 a pop I know I should take better care of them and not set them down on the lenses etc...but I always seem to screw them up within a week or two...
Yesterday I was trying to find a good pair with no luck and was getting ready to go to lowes and get a couple more pair when I saw my Mcguieres headlight lens repair compound (used once)and figured what the heck I'll give it a shot on the bench buffer...I spent about 5 seconds and couldnt believe it, they were like brand new...I spent the next hour finding all my old glasses and polishing them up......I may never have to buy another pair ever again.... Give it a shot.....

"A ceremony outdoors would have been beautiful if it wasn't for the rain. If your planning a wedding during the summer time keep your activities indoors. Food was great and the price was decent. However, the liquor was too expensive and a lot of people mentioned that the drinks were not prepared properly."

I'm hoping that someone can suggest some good quality items that won't break the bank...I've seen a few of the items around, and while I love BobaMakers quality, the price tag is a bit steep. If I'm going to spend the money, however, I'd rather spend it on the flightsuit and flak jacket, and upgrade the belt later. Thanks for the help with this...any suggestions welcome!

In recent years, Tanzania has experience strong economic growth, driven by telecommunications, financial services, transport and construction. The discovery of large oil and gas reserves holds the promise of increased revenue. But with four-fifths of its population dependent on subsistence agriculture, Tanzania remains one of the world's least developed countries. One Tanzanian in three is illiterate; nearly 3 in 10 are poor.
Although the country is self-sufficient in food, reliance on the rain and traditional farming techniques means families are vulnerable to climatic, economic and seasonal shocks, and may suffer food shortages. While the liberalization of exports has turned Tanzania into a regional grain supplier, domestically, high rates of malnutrition persist. The latest National Nutrition Survey (2014) has found 34.7 percent of children under five to be stunted.
The maternal mortality rate, while improving, remains high at 398 deaths per 100,000 live births. Poor maternal health can be attributed to many factors, including inadequate access to, and utilization of, health services. As a result, healthy foetal growth is hindered, and mothers are susceptible to complications in pregnancy and child birth.
Tanzania's record of peace and stability has attracted people fleeing civil strife elsewhere in the region. Large numbers of refugees are now living in three camps in the north-west and relying on WFP assistance as their main source of food.
Through its activities, WFP reaches half a million Tanzanians in chronically food-insecure regions.
What the World Food Programme is doing in Tanzania
WFP is the only agency in Tanzania to provide supplementary food rations to pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under five. The emphasis is on the regions of Dodoma and Singida, which have high rates of stunting and wasting.
Support to smallholder farmers
WFP helps farmers transition from subsistence farming to market-oriented agriculture, by facilitating access to credit and the assets – including fertilizers – necessary to plant and harvest quality crops. WFP also works to strengthen farmers' resilience to shocks through investment in irrigation schemes, dams and market access roads.
School meals
In 2015, WFP launched a Home Grown School Feeding pilot programme to enable districts and schools to manage school meals by procuring food locally from smallholding farmers. Currently implemented in two districts, the programme reaches almost 25,000 students.
Food assistance to refugees
WFP provides a food basket of Super Cereal (fortified blended food), pulses, vegetable oil, and salt to nearly 200,000 refugees in the camps of Nyarugusu, Nduta and Mtendeli. The rations meet a minimum dietary requirement of 2,100 Kcal per person per day.
With most of the eight neighbouring countries landlocked and facing humanitarian crises, Tanzania serves as a crucial logistical hub for WFP operations in the region. The port of Dar es Salaam is a trans-shipment point for operations in Somalia.

After car shows I'll ego surf to see if anybody posted pictures of my cars. Two weeks ago we were in the Orphan Car Show in Riverside Park in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Someone sent me a 2 mb file of this picture of my car they found on the web. I put it on my photobucket account and found out it was huge.
When I increased the size I was startled by the intensity of reflections in the front bumper. I zoomed in and found a pretty clear reflection of me, sitting in my show chair with by black show hat and Hawaiian shirt. The shirts are pretty standard fare in the old car arena, especial if you have a '50s car.
I've seen some pretty awesome reflection shots in the Hot Schizz thread. Post the best reflection shots in your hoard of pictures.
P.S. I did do a search of "reflection" and found no similar thread, yet, I thought I had seen one here recently.

Per Mertesacker believes Arsenal have the perfect chance to demonstrate their inner strength against QPR on Saturday.
The Gunners slipped to their second defeat in five days when they were beaten 2-0 by in-form Schalke in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Mertesacker says the team were disappointed with their display at Emirates Stadium, but must now turn their attention to the coming London derby.
"We have had a difficult week, our results were kind of an accident, now we have to find our game again," the defender said. "The international break was kind of a killer for us. We have to find our strength again quickly.
"We have the potential in us, but first we have to fight. We have to learn quickly from what happened [at Norwich last weekend] and against Schalke. If we do not find these solutions, it is going to be difficult in the Premier League and the Champions League.
"It is our task now to find our self-confidence, we have great players with great potential. So it will be good to have a game in three days so we can show our potential again.
"We will try to be positive before the next game. In our training sessions we will look to get our confidence back. Sometimes you need one game to find your strength and quality, so let's do it on Saturday."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Northern Michigan University is on the semester system; the academic year consists of a fall and winter semester followed by summer college.
Course Levels
|Remedial, developmental or vocational*
|Generally for freshmen and sophomores; some require prerequisites
|Generally for juniors and seniors; some 400 level courses are approved for graduate credit
*Remedial or developmental courses do not meet requirements for associate or bachelor's degrees, but may meet requirements for vocational diplomas and certificates. Remedial, developmental or vocational courses are not calculated in the NMU grade point average and are not counted as earned credit hours toward an associate or bachelor's degree.
Classification of Students
NMU students are classified according to the number of credit hours earned numbered 100 level or above.
|Students who have earned fewer than 28 credits.
|Students who have earned 28-55 credits.
|Students who have earned 56-87 credits.
|Students who have earned 88 credits or more.
Academic Load
A normal academic load for undergraduate students is 16 credits during the fall or winter semester and 12 credits during a summer session. The minimum number of credit hours required for a baccalaureate degree is 124. Some majors require students to take an academic load in excess of 16 credits, but never more than 20 per semester. In general, students are advised not to enroll in more than 20 credits in the fall and winter semesters or more than 16 credits in the summer. They may be permitted to do so only if they have established an NMU cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher.
First semester freshmen, however, are not allowed to take more than the maximum credits in a semester (16 or 20).
Note: A written petition to carry more than the maximum credits in a semester should be submitted to the Registrar's Office by the student's adviser.
Full-time Status
To be considered full time, a student must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours in each semester of attendance.

1: It's not Obama dumping 40 billion a month in the stock market, it's Mr Bernanke. He's the head of the Fed; an independent gov agency.
I just drive less.. I have a car that gets over 40 mpg... I have a truck that gets about 10 MPG... The car gets driven much more than the truck when prices get up over $3.00 a gallon.
That and using 40% of our corn for fuel, does make a dent
The 1%ers won't let Obama drill on their waterfront estates,
QuoteI just drive less.. I have a car that gets over 40 mpg... I have a truck that gets about 10 MPG... The car gets driven much more than the truck when prices get up over $3.00 a gallon.and are you satisfied with that? will you be happy to eat less as food prices rise, or do less of whatever as the economy and the dollar continue to collapse? QE3 was yet another attempt to stave off that collapse. you can't pump forever. what happens when there is no value left in the dollar? what happens as our credit rating is lowered yet again? what happens when we can't pay the debt or the debt is called? what happens when the debtor nations sell off the dollar because it's not worth enough to keep?what happens when the middle east blows up, as i believe it will over the next few years, and we have not built the pipeline, drilled, etc? what happens to trade if instead of a few somali pirates, we have an entire islamist region demanding tribute on the high seas, across air space, or land routes.....as we have cut our navy to the bone and can't keep up with their combined forces?
Start with the State and attack them on the taxes they levy against gasoline... Nobody complains about the .48 or so cent tax that states put on gasoline (Prices very by state)
The bottom line is that regardless of who is President, the price of gas is going to be what it is going to be. Crude is a limited resource and countries compete for it... Investors speculate on supply v. Demand and they drive the prices...
As far as all the wind turbines going up everywhere... tell the riggers, the welders, the truck drivers, the concrete workers, the line men who are on those projects that they are a waste of money
Drill baby drill? Shell released an article two days ago that they just received the green light to drill a new area in Alaska... You search new US oil well starts on google and you get 1000s of recent articles on the topic. There is all kinds of drilling going on in North Dakota right now... I know several people who have moved their for work.
On the value of the US dollar: It has no value and hasn't in years... As long as I am willing to take it as payment for services surrendered, and you are willing to take it also, and the guy down the street will take it... it doesn't matter that it doesn't have value.
On the National Debt... Like I said before... It doesn't really exist. And also on that front the lower the US credit ratting gets... The better for the people who scream about the national debt all the time... Because Congress will be forced to stop spending money they can't barrow.
You get cleaner burning but have to burn more of it.
... Wow, I can't believe you don't know of anybody unemployed. There are lots of lots of people in Michigan in that boat and I know plenty...
Anybody stop and think about what your income was in 1980 compared to today?Census data shows the average household income in 1980 $16,523, average for 2011 49,103. That is a 300% increase.
The well baby 5 day hospital bill and surgery on the wife, everything, lock, stock, and barrel, out the door was $1,800 31 years ago. Anyone want to bet it's not over 30K in today's world of government mandated treatments, services, and hospital stays?
Quote from: bluegrass on October 02, 2012, 10:04:34 AMAnybody stop and think about what your income was in 1980 compared to today?Census data shows the average household income in 1980 $16,523, average for 2011 49,103.

Council of Europe Anti-Racism Commission to prepare report on Andorra
Strasbourg, 26.09.2011 - A delegation of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) visited Andorra from 14 to 16 September 2011 as the first step in the preparation of a monitoring report. During its visit, ECRI´s delegation gathered information on the implementation of the recommendations it made to the authorities in its previous report of 2008 and discussed new issues that had emerged since.
The delegation held meetings in Andorra la Vella with representatives of all relevant ministries and other competent authorities, human-rights NGOs and members of vulnerable groups. It visited a special reception class for newly arrived children who are either non native Catalan speakers or who do not master the other languages commonly taught in the three school systems in Andorra.
Following this visit, ECRI will adopt a report in which it will make a fresh set of recommendations on measures to be taken by the authorities to address racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in the country. Among these, three will be revisited two years after the publication of the report as part of an interim follow-up procedure.
In its 2008 report, ECRI expressed concern about: the absence of a provision in Andorran legislation providing for the sharing of the burden of proof in racial discrimination cases; the lack of offer of initial and ongoing training in issues pertaining to racism and racial discrimination to the judiciary; and the non existence of policies to promote the integration of non-Andorrans in all areas of social life.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, citizenship, colour, religion and language, as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States.

Peter Frampton (born 22 April 1950 in Beckenham, Kent) is a British musician, best known today for his multi-platinum selling solo work in the mid-70s when he was an "arena rocker". He originally became famous, however, as a young member of psychedelic era band The Herd and became a teen idol in Britain. Steve Marriott reportedly wanted to bring the 18-year-old Frampton into the Small Faces lineup but ended up starting Humble Pie with Frampton instead. Read more on Last.fm more

|Welcome to the Mary Hill House at Antietam, located in historic Sharpsburg Maryland, founded in 1763, and site of the bloodiest one-day battle in the history of America's Civil War. A stay in our charming little village is like a step back in time, where the landscape has changed little since the war, many residents still fly their flags all year, and townspeople gather for what is billed as the longest running Memorial Day parade in these United States. This quaint and charming log house has been lovingly restored to expose many of its original features and early craftsmanship, including some interior hand-hewn log walls with pegs, beautiful heart pine wide plank floors, and a large stone fireplace, while adding modern amenities essential for a comfortable stay at the historic Mary Hill House.

What to Do
Named after the first documented owner of this 1780's, two-story log structure, the Mary Hill House is one of the oldest homes in Sharpsburg. Its original design, typical of German architectural influence, centered four main rooms around a central stone chimney. During the 1800's, the chimney was removed (or destroyed), a summer kitchen was added, and an exterior stone chimney and new hearth built. Evidence of the original center chimney can be found in the cellar, where small alcoves in its base were built to accommodate fermenting food products such as sauerkraut and pickled goods. Typical of many of the town's surviving log structures, the house was covered with wooden clapboard siding. Eventually, it was layered with a rough-cast stucco coating.
house was used as a temporary field hospital following
the Civil War. In
records maintained with the National Park Service, Antietam National
Battlefield library, it is documented that two soldiers occupying
the house were killed by an explosion.
"Mrs. Emory Smith, who lived in the frame house on the southwest corner of the alley on Main Street, opposite the old Lutheran graveyard, said when they came to their home after the battle two Confederate soldiers lay in their kitchen where they were killed by an exploding shell that came through the building. The shell killed one at the well near by while in the act of drawing a bucket of water. One of the men in the kitchen was holding in one of his hands a bunch of onions and was literally torn to pieces. There have been Union soldiers who visited the battlefield since the battle who remembered seeing the sight just mentioned."
Artifacts and evidence of the Civil War's reach at this particular house are still being discovered, including what is likely a large blood stain in the center of the main keeping room, uncovered only after carpet and plywood and paint were stripped from the floor. Scores of glass and pottery shards and fragments were found underneath the summer kitchen which also revealed a hearth the width of the room.

Man. I'm really torn.
I'm new to the world of photography and I'm looking to add equipment to the camera bag.
I've got the Canon Rebel XT (8mp).
The 75-300 f/4.0-5.6 IS Canon lens
The lens that came with the camera.
And the 580EX Speedlite.
I was looking at 16-35 f/2.8L USM but couldn't bring myself to part with the cash, especially since it would just be "replacing" one of my lenses and no adding to my camer's abilities. So I started looking at Macro lenses (and maybe a macro flash).
My problem is this - I don't entirely know what specifications makes one lens better/different from another.
I know the f/4.0-5.6 references the maximum aperture settings (based on the zoom seetting on the lens)....
And of course I know that the aperture affects the light and depth of field.
So can I assume that the lower the f/ number the larger that lens aperture capablities are... and that this is a "better lens" than those with a higher F/ number (smaller aperture) because more light can get in (although it reduces depth of field)?
Am I over simplifying this?
One more thing...
I thought that you could use the focal length to determine say the zoom on a lens.
I thought the calculation for a 35mm film camera with a 300mm lends would have a calculation something like
300mm / 35mm = 8.6 x zoom. (focal length / sensor size)... sounds reasonable... I think.
Now - when it comes to digital - the sensor is smaller so the calculation changes. I heard the 1.6x factor all the time. This kinda of makes sense. Looking at the Rebel XT sensor of 22.2 x 14.8 you can make the calculation of 35mm / 22.2mm = 1.6. I just love it when numbers make sense don't you? Things like the Fibonacci Sequence and FHI (1.618) just make my heart a flutter ;-) .... But I digress...
Now. If you put a 35mm lens on a 35mm camera - the image should be 1:1 - no wide or zoom right?
Now if you put that same lens on the rebel you should have the following calculation right :
35mm / 22.2mm = 1.6 times zoom right? To get a 1:1 you'd have to have a lens with a focal length of around 22 right?
But when I put the lens that came with the camera on (I believe a 18-55) 22 seems like wide angle (when looking throught the lens). 55 seems to be 1:1 which is reverse to what I was expecting. To get a zoom factor of 1 the formula changes to (35 / sensor size) X 35mm (35 being the size that lenses are engineered to put with) = 56 (focal length) ie 1:1. (I'm rounding numbers)
Have I lost anyone yet? I may have lost myself there.
I admit there seems to be a pattern here with the calculations but I can't figure out the logic behind them.
So if I put a 300mm lens on my Digital Rebel what is the zoom factor?
By the calculation I would have thought focal length / sensor size (300mm / 22m) the zoom is 13.5. Is that correct? If it is, then why is it that the 55mm setting on the other lens looks like a 1x zoom setting but calculates out to be a 2.5x zoom?

Sorry I forgot to mention.
My whole reason for going through this exercise of calculations is not only to figure out what the specs for the lens mean, but also to use that knowledge to help me pick out the next purchase to add to the camera bag.

Idol champ Sparks at peace with "Battlefield"
By Gary Graff
DETROIT (Billboard) - The recording of Jordin Sparks' sophomore album, "Battlefield," was much more peaceable than its title might imply. In fact, the season six "American Idol" champ says the set, due out July 21, was a far less chaotic undertaking than her platinum 2007 debut.
"With the first album, right after we got off the 'American Idol' tour ... they were like, 'OK, they want your music NOW and you have to record it,'" Sparks says. "I literally think I recorded the album in a little over 20 days ... This time I got to take my time, and if I recorded a song and didn't like it, I was able to say, 'OK, don't like this one' or let it grow with me a little bit."
Best of all, Sparks adds, was she was able to write more songs this time out, four of which made the album. "I'm excited for fans to hear my heart and hear what I've been thinking," she says, adding that in the two years since the release of her self-titled first album, "I've grown up a little bit and gone through a couple of things, so I'm excited to see what people think."
Sparks recorded "Battlefield" -- whose title track is No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 -- between January and June. the set includes a cover of Fefe Dobson's "Don't Let It Go to Your Head," which Sparks says "I had on my iPod for the longest time." The album, she says, reflects growth and maturity, as well as a step in a dancier direction on "S.O.S. (Let the Music Play)," which samples the Shannon hit. But ultimately, Sparks says, she's "still just the ballad-singer girl from 'American Idol.'"
"That's how people fell in love with me on 'Idol' and how I came up," she added. "That's what's on this album ... I don't talk about things I don't know about; sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, I don't know about any of those things. I just talk about things that are kind of universal -- love, friendship, things like that. I think the world needs to hear some of that ... something good and something happy."
Sparks is in the midst of touring with the Jonas Brothers and, she says, loves the opportunity to get in front of their audience. "It's been awesome. I've known the boys for two years now; with this tour it's so great to get to know them individually, 'cause I've known them as the group ... And professionally, I'm so blessed and so lucky to be on this tour. I'll be in front of a little over a million people this summer. What more can I ask for?"

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I am running manual disc on my 67 camaro, I got the setup from ssbc stainless steel brake corp. And i love them had them for like 5 yrs no problems to date. I have not had mine to a line up shop yet but it does real well . As Bryan stated pretty much everything you need is at your local parts store to do the switch just need to know what will work i tried the 2in drop spindels they wouldnt work with my front springs way to low. Bryan i love that 59 . Cole
I am using 72 Chevelle discs/rotors/spindles/booster
67 Disc brake master cylinder
67 brake line set
All on a 66 Elky
Virtually everything is available from the auto parts stores
You will need to acquire a set of spindles for a disc brake car, along with the caliper mounts.
If creative, the spindles from drum car can be used with some grinding/cutting on the upper shield/caliper bracket mounting boss.
Your current steering knuckles can be reused.
Spindles and caliper mounts and shields are now being reproduced, but I do not know what kind of quality they are.
On my 59, I bought a kit----had trouble aligning the car when done
(2" drop spindles), and the tiny booster does not provide enough assist.
I have to use a 7" booster for valve cover and clutch master clearance
It all depends on how you want to go about the swap.
There are a lot of companies that sell the swap for your car. I personally have never used any of them. I prefer all factory parts, or at least all that I can find. Any GM mid size car from 1969 to 1972 will work. Chevelle, Nova,(actually Nova up to 74), Monte, and it does not need to be just Chevy, Pontiac ,Buick etc also work If you find a donor car make sure you get everything, including the combination valve, and the little brackets that hold the brake hoses, they are different from drum brakes.
The complete set-up can be tough to find but there still out there. I used to part out Chevelles back in the 80s early 90s so I always had them. I am down to my last set and I am holding onto them.L.O.L.
Somebody else will have to talk to you about the aftermarket kit, but I have herd some not so good things about them.
66 chevy
i have a 66 chevelle 2 door posts with all drum no power and need to know what exact parts i can buy to update to disk front all power. i have injured my rt leg (permenant) and cannot stop in time using 1 leg any info would help this is my family's comp. so i cant answer ? right away good luck woth yours ahwheelnut in texas
Another manual disc/drum ??
I have a manual disc/drum set up on my 66 chevelle. Everything is stock gm parts.The front disc are from a early 70's monte. I am looking at 2 different master cylinders for it. Both NAPA part numbers.
TS 101578, it has a 1" bore
TS 101639, it has a .9375" bore.

Dr. Thomas Moore Tapped To Be USC Upstate Chancellor
Spartanburg, S.C. – Dr. Thomas F. Moore, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty at Winthrop University, has been named chancellor of the University of South Carolina Upstate. His appointment will become effective Aug. 1.
Moore's appointment was announced Wednesday (May 4) by USC President Harris Pastides, who said Moore's extensive background in higher education, knowledge of the state and commitment to excellence as a professor and an administrator make him an ideal choice to succeed Dr. John Stockwell, who is retiring after 17 years as chancellor.
"Tom Moore will be a dynamic, inspirational leader for Upstate," Pastides said. "He is passionate about education and has a deep understanding of its vital role in shaping personal and intellectual growth, enhancing quality of life, and driving economic development. His knowledge of South Carolina and the challenges that our state faces will allow him to make a smooth transition into his new role as a leader of one of the nation's emerging metropolitan universities."
Moore, 59, said he is honored to have been selected to lead Upstate and rejoin USC, where he earned his doctorate in inorganic chemistry.
"I am grateful to Dr. Pastides for the confidence he has shown in me and for the opportunity to lead USC Upstate, particularly as it expands its economic development role and solidifies its reputation as a leading metropolitan university," Moore said. "The leadership of Chancellor Stockwell has positioned the university for continued growth, greater visibility in the region and the state and growing recognition across the nation. Marsha and I are very pleased to be rejoining the USC family, and we look forward to working closely with President Pastides, the Board of Trustees and the Spartanburg Commission on Higher Education."
Moore's appointment is the high point of a 30-year career in higher education in which he has worked closely with various constituencies, including students, faculty, administrators, alumni and business, community and political leaders. He joined Winthrop in 1986 as chair of the department of chemistry and physics, a post he held until 1994. In 1991, he also became director of the Master of the Liberal Arts Program. He served as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences from 2001- 03 and in the top position of faculty governance, representing faculty before Winthrop's Board of Trustees, from 1996 – 2000.
At Winthrop, he has overseen curriculum and program development, faculty recruitment and evaluation, student recruitment and retention, strategic planning, budget planning, resource development and management from the program level to the institutional level.
He has served in his current post since 2003 and has had responsibility for five academic colleges, the graduate school and the library.
While he has been vice president, Winthrop has been cited favorably in U.S. News & World Report, Barron's Best Buys and the Princeton Review and earned recognition from the Templeton Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation and the American Association of Colleges and Universities.
Moore is active in higher education initiatives nationally and has served on committees of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Graduate Liberal Studies Programs.
He earned his bachelor's degree in chemistry from Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Ala., and his doctorate in inorganic chemistry from USC. He also has attended professional development programs at Harvard, Yale and Northwestern universities.
He began his academic career in 1978 as assistant professor of chemistry at Georgia Southern College, where he taught until 1981. From 1981 to 1986, he was on the faculty at Birmingham-Southern College, first as an assistant professor of chemistry and later as associate professor and director of the Honors Program.
A native of Alabama, Moore and his wife, Marsha, have two sons, Charlie and Kirk.
USC Upstate, which has been a four-year institution since 1975, offers more than 40 bachelor's degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences, business administration, nursing and teacher education, and master's degrees in education. Located in Spartanburg, it is among the fastest growing universities in South Carolina and enrolls 5,500 students from across the surrounding area, as well as 38 states and 71 countries. USC Upstate also has a Greenville campus that enrolls more than 1,000 junior- and senior-level commuter students each year. The George Dean Johnson Jr. College of Business and Economics opened in downtown Spartanburg in May 2010.

See if they have a "Contact Us" page on their website and try to contact them through there, since you can access internet. Or try to contact one of your friends via the internet and have them bring their phone over so you can use their phone to call T-Mobile.

It's possible they updated something and need your phone at the store to update it to match the update. Or maybe they screwed up and canceled your sim card and need to give you a new one. Your SIM card is what the problem is, not your battery or SD card. Just take your phone in, they'll most likely give you a new SIM card, and that should fix the problem.

I hate hanging crap off my visor. I hate visor clips creasing my visor, too. I've been trying to find a low-cost stealthy alternative but nothing appeals.
Options I've found so far, and why I don't like them:
(1) VW factory Homelink visor - Over $250 in parts to do this. Worse, the visor wiring harness is taped/epoxied/welded/held by the hand of god to the headliner. The E-Z-crease headliner has to be dropped to access it. Too much money and effort for a leased vehicle.
(2) Gentex Mirror - I have an auto-dimming mirror from the factory already, there's no sense replacing it with one that costs the same or more than the above + looks aftermarket. Not an easy mod to reverse, either (I just put one in the wife's Bug) at lease end.
(3) Flash2Pass - Intriguing, but something about emitting the open door signal every time I use the high-beams bothers me. I also don't like having to run a 2nd non-Homelink opening system in parallel with the original one.
(4) MikadoTech - 10 years ago, these guys were making remotes out of factory switch blanks. Since then, they've fallen off the face of the Earth.
The only other option I've found is a keychain-sized remote. They're not exactly slim.
I know I can make one myself out of a switch blank + Radio Shack parts, but I'm not handy with soldering.
I think those are all the options. Tell me I missed one or more...

Dr. Michael Greger is the director of public health and animal agriculture for The Humane Society of the United States , as well as the author of Bird Flu: A Virus of Our Own Hatching. Here's what he has to say about swine flu (H1N1) and the role of factory farms in it's evolution and spread.
Factory farming and long-distance live animal transport apparently led to the emergence of the ancestors of the current swine flu threat. A preliminary analysis of the H1N1 swine flu virus isolated from human cases in California and Texas reveals that six of the eight viral gene segments arose from North American swine flu strains circulating since 1998, when a new strain was first identified on a factory farm in North Carolina.
This genetic fingerprint, first released by Columbia University's Center for Computation Biology and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton,[1] has now been reportedly confirmed by researchers at the University of Edinburgh
Plaguing People and Pigs
The worst plague in human history was triggered by an H1N1 avian flu virus, which jumped the species barrier from birds to humans[3] and went on to kill as many as 50 to 100 million people in the 1918 flu pandemic.[4] We then passed the virus to pigs, where it has continued to circulate, becoming one of the most common causes of respiratory disease on North American pig farms.[5]
In August 1998, however, a barking cough resounded throughout a North Carolina pig factory in which all the thousands of breeding sows fell ill.[6] A new swine flu virus was discovered on that factory farm, a human-pig hybrid virus that had picked up three human flu genes. By the end of that year, the virus acquired two gene segments from bird flu viruses as well, becoming a never-before-described triple reassortment virus — a hybrid of a human virus, a pig virus and a bird virus — that triggered outbreaks in Texas, Minnesota and Iowa.[7]
Within months, the virus had spread throughout the United States. Blood samples taken from 4,382 pigs across 23 states found that 20.5 percent tested positive for exposure to this triple hybrid swine flu virus by early 1999, including 100 percent of herds tested in Illinois and Iowa, and 90 percent in Kansas and Oklahoma.[8] According to the current analysis, performed at the Columbia University's Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, it is from this pool of viruses that the current swine flu threat derives three-quarters of its genetic material.[9]
Tracing the Origins of Today's H1N1 Virus
Since the progenitor of the swine flu virus currently threatening to trigger a human pandemic has now been identified, it is critical to explore what led to its original emergence and spread. Scientists postulate that a human flu virus may have starting circulating in U.S. pig farms as early as 1995, but "by mutation or simply by obtaining a critical density, caused disease in pigs and began to spread rapidly through swine herds in North America. [emphasis added]"[10] It is therefore likely no coincidence that the virus emerged in North Carolina, the home of the nation's largest pig production operation. North Carolina has the densest pig population in North America and reportedly boasts more than twice as many corporate pig mega-factories as any other state.[11]
The year of emergence, 1998, was the year North Carolina's pig population hit ten million, up from two million just six years earlier.[12] Concurrently, the number of pig farms was decreasing, from 15,000 in 1986 to 3,600 in 2000.[13] How can five times more animals be raised on almost five times fewer farms? By crowding about 25 times more pigs into each operation. In the 1980s, more than 85% of all North Carolina pig farms had fewer than 100 animals.
By the end of the 1990s, operations confining more than 1,000 animals controlled about 99% of the state's pig population.[14] Given that the primary route of swine flu transmission is thought to be the same as human flu—via droplets or aerosols of infected nasal secretions[15] — it's no wonder experts blame overcrowding for the emergence of new flu virus mutants.
Factory Farms: Intensive Crowding and Long-Distance Transport
Starting in the early 1990s, the U.S. pig industry restructured itself after Tyson's profitable chicken model of massive industrial-sized units. As a headline in the trade journal National Hog Farmer announced, "Overcrowding Pigs Pays — If It's Managed Properly."[16] The majority of U.S. pig farms now confine more than 5,000 animals each. A veterinary pathologist from the University of Minnesota stated the obvious in Science: "With a group of 5,000 animals, if a novel virus shows up it will have more opportunity to replicate and potentially spread than in a group of 100 pigs on a small farm."[17]

Miami, Fla. — Despite four players scoring in double figures and a season high 20 assists as a team, WKU dropped an 87-82 decision at FIU Saturday night in Miami after the Panthers torched the nets for 57.4 percent shooting in the game. The loss is WKU's third-straight and moves the Hilltoppers' record to 13-14 overall and 7-9 in conference play. FIU improves to 14-12 overall and 9-8 in the league with the victory.
WKU was led by T.J. Price's 22 points, thanks in part to a career high six three-pointers, and six assists. Jamal Crook added 18 points, and George Fant poured in 17 to go along with six rebounds. Teeng Akol scored 11 points in 17 minutes off the bench for the Hilltoppers, who had 20 assists on 25 made baskets as a team and shot 50.0 percent as a group from the floor with eight three-pointers.
FIU was paced by 20 points apiece from Jerome Frink and Tymell Murphy. Two other Panthers were in double figures. WKU outrebounded FIU in the game 33-22, and the game featured three ties and eight lead changes.
WKU fell down early at the start, but a 9-0 scoring burst gave the Hilltoppers their first lead of the game at 24-23. Fant and Aleksejs Rostov each made a pair of free throws, and after WKU forced a Panther turnover Rostov hit a jumper and Price followed with a three-pointer, forcing FIU to call a timeout.
The two teams traded baskets in the final few minutes of the half, and FIU took a 42-38 lead into the locker room after a Murphy layup at the buzzer. Six different Hilltoppers scored in the first 20 minutes, led by Akol's nine points. The Hilltoppers had 11 assists on 12 made baskets, and the WKU bench scored 19 points. Murphy led FIU with 14 tallies on 5-of-7 shooting.
WKU shot 60.0 percent in the first half (12-for-20), and FIU converted at a 62.5 percent clip (15-for-24). The two teams combined to make eight three-pointers in the first half.
FIU turned the four-point lead into 10 less than three minutes into the second half, and the Panthers led by as many as 15 points on three separate occasions in the final 10 minutes of the half.
WKU found itself trailing by 10 with 2:18 to go at 80-70, but the Hilltoppers went on a quick 6-0 run and had the game within four at 80-76 with 35 ticks showing on the clok after Price's fifth three-pointer of the night.
But FIU made seven of eight free throws in the final 30 seconds to seal the victory, just its second over WKU in the last 11 meetings.
After shooting 60.0 percent as a team in the first half, WKU went 13-for-30 in the second 20 minutes (.433).
