Release date: July 3
Schacht promoted to Business Division Chairperson at Wayland
Finding a needle in a haystack is a task no one relishes, especially when related to a job search. For Dr. Otto B. Schacht, though, the treasure was worth the hunt.
Schacht, who came to Wayland in January 1999 as Professor of Business and Agribusiness, has been promoted to the position of Chairperson of the Division of Business. He replaces Dr. Shelley Tapp, who took a position at West Texas A&M University.
He brings two and a half years of experience at Wayland and nearly 23 years of teaching experience total, having taught agricultural engineering at Texas Tech University, agribusiness at South Plains College and serving as the Dean of the Division of Arts and Sciences at SPC.
Getting to WBU, he said, was more of a challenge. After working his way through the ranks at South Plains, Schacht said he knew there was no other advancement possibility and began to search for where God might have him to teach.
"Talk about how God does things for us. In my last five years at SPC, I bet we sent out 300-350 resumes and got three interviews and one job - the one job God knew I needed," he recalled with a smile.
Having taught a sufficient amount of time to draw state teacher retirement, he made the move to Wayland and began teaching agribusiness and a few economics and management courses. He said the prospect of getting back into the classroom was a draw of the job, and being able to maintain that teaching while diving into administrative duties was a draw toward this position.
"Teaching is my first priority, no matter what other responsibilities there are," he said.
As the new Division of Business Chairperson, Schacht said he hopes to build on the program's strengths of faculty and external campus programs as well as increasing recruiting efforts for the division. He also wants to continue and increase community involvement and service in the areas of support for businesses in the vicinity and encouragement of economic development.
"We, the Division of Business, want to be very visible in the community, not that we haven't been in the past, but we can always improve on that," he said.
Schacht served as a Minuteman Missile Systems Analyst Specialist in the United States Air Force from 1971-75. He has been in the U.S. Army Reserves since 1978. He currently on the General's staff as the Deputy Chief of Staff of Logistics for the 95th Division (Institutional Training), located in Oklahoma City.
He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Texas Tech, the Master of Science degree from Central Missouri State University and the Doctor of Philosophy degree from Texas A&M University. He is a professional engineer licensed in Texas.
Schacht and his wife, Madonna, a teacher aide at Thunderbird Elementary, have two sons, Jackie-Don, a law student in Houston, and Fritz, a junior at the University of North Texas. They are members of the 11th and Amarillo Church of Christ in Plainview.

Gov. Steve Beshear vetoed a controversial religious-freedom bill Friday afternoon, saying the measure was well-intended but would spark costly taxpayer-funded court cases and bring an array of unintended consequences.
"I have significant concerns that this bill will cause serious unintentional consequences that could threaten public safety, health care and individuals' civil rights," Beshear said in a statement. "As written, the bill will undoubtedly lead to costly litigation."
House Bill 279 would allow someone with "sincerely held" religious beliefs to disregard state laws "unless the government proves by clear and convincing evidence that it has a compelling governmental interest in infringing" the person's religious freedom. Gay rights and human rights groups have said the bill could be used to challenge local anti-discrimination laws that protect gays and lesbians in Lexington, Louisville, Covington and Vicco.
The sponsor of House Bill 279, Rep. Bob Damron, D-Nicholasville, said he thinks he'll have the 51 votes required to override the veto if House leaders decide to take a vote. Damron said Beshear, a Democrat, did not ask him or Democratic House leaders to refrain from trying to override the bill during a conversation of more than an hour Friday in the governor's Capitol office.
In a written statement, Senate President Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, said, "The Senate is prepared to override the veto of HB 279 if and when the speaker moves to do so. As a House bill, that chamber must act on the bill first."
House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, said in a statement that Democratic leaders "will be discussing what action to take with our caucus."
The House passed the bill this month with only seven dissenting votes. The Republican-led Senate passed it 29-6.
Lawmakers return to Frankfort on Monday for the final two days of the legislative session. Damron said there will be enough time to override the veto by midnight Tuesday.
Conservative groups that backed the bill criticized Beshear on Friday.
"It won't be comforting for many Kentuckians to know that the ACLU is now calling the shots in the governor's office," said Martin Cothran, spokesman for The Family Foundation. "Religious people should not have to ask permission from the ACLU and gay rights groups to believe what they believe."
Damron said the concerns of opponents are unfounded. Sixteen states have passed similar laws, but none of those states have seen a flood of lawsuits after the bills were passed, Damron said.
But Beshear said in a news release that HB 279 is "fundamentally different" than related federal and state laws, "mostly because the vague language of HB 279 lends itself to overly broad applications."
He said the bill offers no exceptions for certain state agencies or civil rights laws, or for the protection and safety of the general public.
"Imprecise legal standards lead to unforeseen consequences," Beshear said. "Citizens and governmental entities are entitled to a clear understanding of the boundaries of permissible conduct. This bill, as written, while well-intended, is undermined by precarious legal wording."
He said the bill had the potential to weaken local civil rights laws, affect curriculum standards in schools, hamper economic development efforts, hinder public health initiatives and undermine enforcement of drug laws.
Beshear released a list of more than 50 groups that either opposed the bill or asked him to veto it. Those groups include the Kentucky Association of Counties, the Kentucky League of Cities, the Kentucky Education Association, the American Civil Liberties Union, and a variety of gay rights organizations, sexual assault groups and fair housing groups.
In addition, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and the Covington City Council asked Beshear to veto the bill. Lexington Mayor Jim Gray, who is gay, came under criticism from some advocacy groups for not publicly asking Beshear to veto it.
Gay rights groups applauded Beshear on Friday.
"Both Republicans and Democrats need to think carefully before deciding to override a veto since the governor and his legal staff has listened to both sides of the argument," said Jordan Palmer, president of the Kentucky Equality Federation. "Gov. Beshear is pushing Kentucky to once again be a leader in civil rights protection for minorities throughout the commonwealth by not infringing on their city equality ordinances in Covington, Lexington, Louisville and Vicco."

General Science
Minor in General Science
The General Science minor is designed for those majoring in areas outside of the Department of Natural and Applied Sciences but who wish to have some general study of science. The General Science minor consists of 20 credits in science. Two of the five courses are required and the other three courses may be selected from restricted options.
The Evangel University Department of Natural and Applied Sciences is dedicated to the spiritual, academic and social growth of every student. The department's purpose is to provide an excellent scientific education that is thoroughly integrated with the University's emphasis on the development of strong Christian character. Within this framework, students must contend with new scientific, social, ethical and technological challenges. Students learn to communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively and exhibit analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. The General Science minor gives students who have an interest in science the opportunity to take selected science courses even though they choose to major in another subject area. It is an expansion of the liberal arts education concept. Course selection options give variety to meet the individual interests of the student. The study of general science may enhance the understanding and application of many other majors.
Each of Evangel's academic programs is made up of a set of core curriculum, program requirements and electives. The courses listed below are just a small sample of courses that might be taken as a part of this specific program.
|Introduction to the physical processes governing weather events and the resulting pattern of climates developed over the earth's surface.
|Introduction to the materials of the earth's crust, the changes in the surface and interior of the earth, and the dynamic forces that cause those changes.
|Introduction to Biology

|General Physics

Evangel University's world-class faculty is made up of caring, Christian professionals who are distinguished in their fields and dedicated to the development of tomorrow's Christian leaders.
NOTE: A minor is a secondary field of interest that is meant to complement your academic major. While your major is chosen for your intended career choice, your minor may be something you pursue for your personal interest or to augment your major.
No special requirements for this program.

If you are looking for a premium Minecraft account that you could play on for free, then you are at the right place.
We are giving away premium Mojang accounts which our sponsors gave us;
All the accounts are tried and tested so you can start to play Minecraft for free immediately.
How can we share Minecraft for free?
Our clients have accounts that they want to sell, and our website gives them the place to sell them at.
But we do not charge YOU for it. While our website needs funds to run, we make that money through our advertisers and sponsor so we pass on the benefits of this relationship to YOU!
Why are we sharing a free Minecraft account?
It is often easy to find premium Minecraft accounts that people are giving away because they do not use these anymore.
But they are never available for free. You'd have to pay and buy Minecraft accounts off eBay or with unusual types of money such as RS gold or Alertpay.
However we believe that wonderful community games like Minecraft should be available for everyone to try and play. This is why we have decided to share Minecraft for free, so YOU can experience this wonderful fantasy world yourself.
Is it safe to use these accounts?
The free Minecraft premium accounts that we are giving away are 100% safe to use.
We take all responsibility for them. All our links are malware and virus-free, feel free to scan our website if you're worried.
It is important to emphasize this because all too often people are tricked into paying for accounts that are hacked and the password is most likely changed before they even get the chance to use it.
Once you have downloaded your own premium account, you should immediately change the password.
This is to prevent anyone else from downloading the same account, our server update the account 1 minute after each download.
Having your account stolen will mean that you can no longer play online, though you may still be able to play the single player game. But that is half the fun lost.
How do I download Minecraft for free?
If you want to download our free Minecraft account and enjoy all the features of the premium multiplayer game, you simply have to visit our DOWNLOAD PAGE (link in top).
At this point you will have to fill up a brief survey for our sponsors, which will not take you more than 2 minutes or so.
When you have done that, your account is unlocked, and you can begin to play Minecraft for free.
We make it this simple for you to be able to play this brilliant game for free, by the way the mobile phone surveys is the fastest and easiest to complete they are free and you will only receive 1 text message for verification.
Once you have downloaded and tested it, we would be very grateful if you visit our YouTube video then like and comment it.
Of course, most of you won't need an introduction to Minecraft.
But for those who want to try out the game for the first time, here's a rundown. It is a video game that at the simplest level is about breaking blocks and creating with them, you can enjoy it on PC, Xbox and even smartphones with the new pocket edition.
In the Survival mode, you start by trying to protect yourself from monsters that will kill you at night.
But Minecraft is much more than that. Today it's grown into a game where you can work together with a large community of other players to build wonderful things.
You can take your imagination to the limits and build magnificent buildings, villages and even cities.
You have the entire Minecraft for free and online premium version to adventure in, fly to amazing heights and watch the sun set and rise over a vast ocean.
If you're brave, you can battle monsters in the Nether, a terrible parallel world that does not see the sun and has seas of lava and darkness.
You can also loose yourself in a land of giant mushrooms and hobnob with strange cow-like creatures that have mushrooms growing on their backs.
The possibilities are endless.
You can play Minecraft on your Windows PC, Mac, Xbox 360 or Smartphone.
As of today, a whopping 10.603.141 people have already bought the game off the official website and thousands of others are playing through their free accounts!
So go ahead and get your own account and play Minecraft for free!

François Gianolla was an artist of Swiss origins who was born in the Belgian town of Montignies-sur-Sambre, near Charleroi. A follower of the Clear Line style, he was the staff artist for the "kajotters" movement, the Catholic youth organization. He is the author of the adventure comic 'Fred, Mile et Bob'. The comic first appeared in the Catholic magazine Mon Avenir in 1931, and was later also published in Avant Garde and La Cité Nouvelle. An album was published by Dupuis in the 1940s. He also produced 'Les Pages du Roi Richard', that appeared at SPES publishers.
Gianolla illustrated many posters for mass manifestions in a style resembling Masereel's. He was touched by the living and working circumstances of the working class, especially the miners. He used that in his poems, which were collected in the book 'Sang du Pays Noir'. Shortly after World War II, he was an artist/cartoonist for the Katholieke Werkliedenbeweging (the Catholic worker's movement) and a Christian organization. He passed away in Nalinnes in October 1990.

Eisenhower High School is recognizing one of its most distinguished athletic graduates on October 17 — the Eagles will be naming their football field after Ronnie Lott according to Ike athletic director Steve Johnson.
The ceremony, which will happen the weekend of Ike's game with Redlands, is part of the school's 50th anniversary celebration. Lott — a 1977 Ike graduate, All-American at USC, and NFL Hall of Fame safety for the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Raiders and New York Jets from 1981-94 — is expected to attend the ceremony.
"It's exciting for the school," Johnson said. "To have a Hall of Famer like Ronnie come from this school and be willing to come back and celebrate the anniversary for us is something we are pretty happy to be a part of."
The naming of the stadium will be part of the 50th anniversary extravaganza on Saturday the 17th, the day after the game with Redlands.

Alfresco Becomes Founding Member of Red Hat Exchange
Research, Purchase and Online Fulfillment Exchange to Accelerate Open Source Adoption
SAN DIEGO, CA, May 10th, 2007 – Alfresco Software, Inc., the first and leading provider of an open source enterprise content management solution, today announced it has become one of the founding members of Red Hat Exchange. Alfresco has been certified and validated with other open source vendors including MySQL, JBoss and Sugar CRM and will be made available through Red Hat Exchange.
Red Hat Exchange (RHX) is a single source for research, purchase, online fulfillment and support of open source and other commercial software business application stacks. Through RHX, customers will be able to acquire pre-integrated open source software solutions incorporating infrastructure software from Red Hat and business application software from Red Hat partners.
Alfresco has seen major adoption of its open source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system in the Global 2000 with customers ranging from Electronic Arts to Boise Cascade, NASA and some of the largest financial services companies in the world. RHX offers an excellent channel and reach to the medium and small business market to accelerate the wider adoption of Alfresco.
"Enterprises have been buying open source in ever-increasing amounts and we see RHX as a natural marketplace to streamline the process of finding and implementing open source software," said John Powell, CEO and co-founder, Alfresco Software, Inc. "Red Hat is the de-facto brand in Linux and the availability of a Red Hat-tested and supported offering will accelerate the adoption of Alfresco and open source as a whole."
"The open source community operates with a different marketing and distribution model than proprietary software," said Donald Fischer, vice president of Online Services at Red Hat. "It makes sense for members of the open source community to come together to facilitate an exchange suited to the effective delivery and support of its solutions for its users. Alfresco's active participation in our new offering will contribute significantly to the value RHX delivers to the open source community."

Walk-forward analysis
If a system is backtested across an entire historical data series, the results of such tests will indicate only how the system would have fared had it been operational during the time period covered by the historical data. The results tell us nothing about how the system will fare going forward in real time.
One way to address this limitation is walk-forward analysis and optimization, popularized within the trading community by Robert Pardo. With this approach, the historical data are broken up into smaller periods of time. The system then can be backtested and optimized against just a portion of data, called the in-sample data. After the system parameters have been optimized, it then can be tested on the portion of the data that immediately follows, or the out-of-sample data.
The out-of-sample data period usually is a percentage of the in-sample data period. The results of the out-of-sample tests are recorded. The process then is repeated by "sliding forward" the in-sample data period and then re-optimizing the parameters. The amount by which the in-sample data is slid forward is equal to the length of the initial out-of-sample data period (see "Walk-forward testing," below).
In the chart, the in-sample data period is six months and the out-of-sample data period is two months. The first optimization is run on the data from January through June. The test is run on the data from July through August. The out-of-sample results are recorded. The in-sample data period then slides forward by two months. A new optimization is run and the parameters are re-set accordingly. Another out-of-sample test is run September through October.
This walk forward through the data removes some of the limitations of basic backtesting. Profitable results from this method of testing should provide a higher level of confidence in the system when traded in real time in a live account.

ellivville needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 148 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
Nordic PR
Nordic PR is a PR & Communications network built by four independent agencies in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. We focus on media, strategy, and sales communications. We have a long experience from running both local and pan-European & Nordic PR campaigns and communications strategies for some of the largest companies.
We believe that flexibility, delivering results and understading the customer's business are the cornerstones of our client cooperation. We can provide customers with a fresh alternative to more traditional players.
Words to characterize Nordic PR: Nordic, experienced, results-driven, quality, flexible, fresh, customer-focused, business understanding.
We are primarily targetting PR, Communications, Marketing and Sales people in companies, who want to build their reputation in the four Nordic markets - Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Typically, our customers are marketing / comms managers who are in charge of either a single county, the Nordics, or Europe as a whole. They're usually from one of the Nordic countries, UK or Germany.
Secondary target groups are top management and potential employees.
We need a logo that will be used as the basis of our visual identity and in all our marketing collaterals. The first application for the logo will be our our website. The logo should:
a) have the name Nordic PR
b) be multipurpose so that it could could be used in all marketing and sales communications - website, adds, powerpoints, letterheads, video, collaterals, t-shirs
c) communicate at least one aspect of our identity (Nordic, results-driven, experienced, fresh alternative, flexible, customer focused, quality, business understanding)
e) if possible, fit in with our existing look (see attached pdf document)
As for colors, please have a look at our current look in the attached pdf for reference, but if you feel that you have a better ideas on what colors to use to convey our identity, please feel free to suggest alternative colors.
I'm doing this project on 99designs both to get a high quality design and to test how design online works. For the winner of this competition, I believe we can at least be a very good reference and maybe even provide new work in the future.
I've attached a presentation to give a brief overview of the company and what we look like now.
For any questions, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Look forward to finding a great, creative solution.

If last year's holiday breads and cookies didn't turn out exactly as you hoped, don't blame it on your oven — at least not yet.
The type of bakeware material you choose affects cooking results; some are better for browning and crisping than others, for instance.
Consult this handy guide of bakeware recommendations from Whirlpool so you know what to expect when using different pans and sheets.
Light-colored aluminum:
Light golden crusts and even browning. Use temperature and time recommended in recipe.
Dark aluminum and other bakeware with dark, dull and/or nonstick finish:

Conservatories, once the glass-walled playgrounds of wealthy plant collectors, now serve a more urgent function. The changing global climate has spotlighted the role these specialized greenhouses play in preserving plant diversity.
Like zoos for endangered animals, climate-controlled conservatories may well be the only places some plants can survive, allowing scientists to educate the public, including gardeners, about the environmental threats to many species.
Glasshouses, as they are also known, are often the first stop on visitors' tours of public botanic gardens. These structures hint at the research going on behind the scenes, such as the development of seed banks and collections of endangered plants. Conservatories also cost a good deal to operate, and so they stand at the forefront of efforts to use fuel more efficiently.
Kayri Havens, director of plant science and conservation at the Chicago Botanic Garden, says that scientists began viewing species conservation as a primary function of conservatories only about 50 years ago, when they recognized that such threats as habitat destruction, pollution, even overcollecting were endangering plants around the world.
Dr. Havens is among the scientists at botanical gardens who call climate change "an imminent threat to biodiversity." A decade ago, she says, botanists didn't see it as an urgent problem. Today, "Most of my colleagues and I think that we need to complete a concerted seed-bank effort within a decade – two, at most – to capture species while there still is genetic diversity," she says.
The urgency arises from the varying rates at which plant species reproduce, which determines how quickly they can adapt. "We're particularly worried about species such as trees, which take a long time to reproduce," Havens says.
Memo to Noah: Two is not enough
"The prevailing wisdom is that it's better to conserve seeds, when possible, than living plants in a glasshouse," says Havens, because living plants can become genetically impoverished due to inbreeding, succumb to disease, or fail to grow in a greenhouse. "In order to build a conservation collection" – as opposed to a display collection – "it's necessary to have big numbers to capture genetic diversity. A couple of oaks from Russia doesn't make for a conservation collection, but 1,500-plus seeds in a bank does."
As the US coordinator for native seed banking, Havens heads a team that will contribute 30 million seeds, including 1,500 kinds of endangered native tall-grass prairie seeds, to the international Millennium Seed Bank Project and to a similar national project, Seeds of Success. She notes that dried, frozen seeds in airtight envelopes can stay viable for 200 years.
Jan Salick, senior curator of ethnobotany at the Missouri Botanical Garden, studies how Tibetan people use high-alpine plants on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, where temperatures are rising quickly. The region is experiencing the fastest glacial retreats in the world and dramatic increases in rainfall. High-alpine meadows, rich in biodiversity, contain rare plants. Dr. Salick's field research shows that as temperatures climb, so do plants – they migrate uphill. The ones migrating fastest are not those endemic to the region, but widespread species that reproduce quickly, outcompeting slower-maturing alpine plants.
The snow lotus, for example, which Tibetans regard as an important medicinal plant, takes 10 years to reproduce and must be pollinated by high-alpine bumblebees. Salick has watched this plant diminish in both size and numbers. "Not until after the fact do you get to see the effect of changes in plant communities on such things as the bumblebees and other long-coevolved, intricate relationships with animal species," she says.
Making 'greener' greenhouses
As the climate changes, Salick and others foresee changes in the form and content of conservatories. Tomasz Anisko, curator of plants at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pa., says the institution, which focuses primarily on horticultural display, renovated its east conservatory in 2006, in part to improve energy efficiency. With each renovation of Longwood's 1920s-era buildings, the heating systems have been updated to heat soil at the root zone and concentrate hot air immediately around the plants, instead of heating the whole space.
Energy use has also influenced which species to display. "In the past, we exhibited mainly exotic tropical plants that required high temperatures, and we've been replacing them with subtropical and Mediterranean plants that can grow in more moderate temperatures," Anisko says, and visitors approve. "That's an important point: You can still design attractive displays and achieve energy savings."
Educating visitors is something Anisko and others believe is a significant opportunity for conservatories. "People don't come to see seeds in the freezer, but to see beautiful plants," Havens observes.
Salick recalls the success story of educating people about the destruction of tropical rain forests. "Public awareness of that issue is amazing," she says. "Kindergartners will ask me about it."
Todd Forrest, vice president for horticulture and living collections at the New York Botanical Garden, says they are targeting average gardeners through an educational program called Gardening in a Changing Climate. "It's important to keep people gardening and give them hope," he says. "Gardens and green spaces are part of the solution to climate change. They provide cool spots, and they store carbon. The more of these we have, the better off our environment will be."

Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen on Wednesday delivered what you'd expect from a commencement speech: graduates, she said, should "tend the fires of curiosity," listen to others, and show grit in the face of failure. Yellen reminded New York University students in Yankee Stadium that even Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio failed most of the time they stepped to the plate, according to a text of her remarks.
And what example did Yellen find for such an inspirational beacon of bravery?
Why, her predecessor, Ben Bernanke.
My predecessor at the Fed, Chairman Ben Bernanke, demonstrated such courage, especially in his response to the threat of the financial crisis. To stabilize the financial system and restore economic growth, he took courageous actions that were unprecedented in ambition and scope. He faced relentless criticism, personal threats, and the certainty that history would judge him harshly if he was wrong. But he stood up for what he believed was right and necessary. Ben Bernanke's intelligence and knowledge served him well as Chairman. But his grit and willingness to take a stand were just as important. I hope you never are confronted by challenges this great, but you too will face moments in life when standing up for what you believe can make all the difference.
The praise comes on the same day the New York Times ran a hit piece of sorts against Bernanke, noting the lavish pay he's received for making speeches and hosting dinners with hedge-fund titans.
Yellen's remarks also come as the history of the financial crisis is again in the spotlight, with the publication of former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's memoir as well as an event in which Bernanke participated at the Bush Center.
A quick recap of the steps the Fed took during the crisis include cutting interest rates as far as they go, engaging in unprecedented levels of bond buying, and opening an array of emergency lending programs. These programs unquestionably helped to save the financial system, though debate rages over the lackluster economic growth since then.
Whether the timing of Yellen's comments are by design or by coincidence isn't clear. And in praising Bernanke, she clearly to some degree is praising herself, seeing as the two were and are seen as joined by the hip in terms of policy preferences.

BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Union High School board of directors has signed off on a spending plan totaling $12,919,874 for the 2008-2009 school year.
The plan represents a proposed increase in spending of 6.37 percent over the current year's budget, but officials attributed almost half of that increase to the fact that in past years busing costs appeared in elementary school budgets but this year they appear in the high school budgets.
According to Mount Abe school board Chairman Lanny Smith, the effective proposed increase in spending is about 3.2 percent.
Residents of Addison Northeast Supervisory Union towns — Bristol, Lincoln, Monkton, New Haven and Starksboro — will vote on the proposed Mount Abe spending plan, approved at the board's Jan. 22 meeting, on Town Meeting Day. Supervisory union business manager Greg Burdick said that education tax rates had not been set by the state legislature as the Addison Independent went to press, so the exact impact of the budget on area towns cannot yet be determined.
By JOHN FLOWERS
BRIDPORT — Bridport voters on Town Meeting Day will be asked to approve a 20-year, $1.25 million bond issue to finance some major repairs to their elementary school, including installation of a new roof.
The repair plan is not only dependant on a "yes" vote from the public on March 4, but also action by the Legislature this session.
The legislative action is needed because as the state's education funding laws are written, any time a town exceeds the statewide average for per-pupil spending by a specific percentage then the education tax rate on the town's property is increased by a factor of two as a penalty. Since the state isn't providing any aid for school building projects, the entire $1.25 million cost of the Bridport project would be counted in the per-pupil spending of the town, pushing it over the statewide average and resulting in the penalty being assessed in the town's education property tax.

MIDDLEBURY — The first time Laura Thomas performed in a New York City club, only two people showed up to hear her play. One of them was a friend of hers.
"It was humiliating in a way, but strengthening in a way," the singer-songwriter and guitarist said.
Seven years and plenty of grunt work later, the Middlebury College graduate is making a name for herself, and her five-member band, in the Big Apple and beyond.
On Friday, Feb. 29, the Laura Thomas Band will return to the hometown of their alma mater of three of its members — Thomas graduated from Middlebury College in 1996, lead guitarist Chris Farrell graduated in '98 and violinist Ben Lively graduated in '99 — to perform at Middlebury's Two Brothers Tavern.

|McCain with Katanani in Cairo
Al Masry Al Youm
For the record Obama did not invite the MB leaders and members alone to the States , already I think Senator John McCain visited the MB leaders in their HQ and offices in Egypt and invited their delegation to the Congress. Already McCain has been so supportive to the Arab Spring that brought Islamists in to power in Egypt and Tunisia through democratic elections as we all know.
Already as Egyptian I feel the MB already is close to the Republicans in their way of thinking when it comes to the use of religion , conservatism and capitalism. They are the other side of the coin sans nationalism as the MB as a group believes in wider Islamist Nationalism.
Oh Yes big MB's loudmouth Safwat Hegazy is the star of that ad with his stupid words. Needless to say his statement about Jerusalem as the capital of the "United of Arab states" created controversy in Egypt. Of course the man who needs to keep his mouth shut forever claimed that he was just expressing his dreams about uniting the Arab and Muslim countries. Hegazy is a walking scandal mouth for real. I do not need to tell you how much the revolutionaries despise him.

New seed for a new season Garst adds 15 new seed corn products to its lineup, including one with YieldGard insect protection, one with StarLink Bt and another with an IT hybrid for the Clearfield production system.
Dairyland Seed's new Magnum V-Wet alfalfa offers a branched-root trait to keep more of the root system above the water table. It is a good choice for crops in low-lying or poor draining areas.
Pioneer has three new canola varieties: a conventional variety, one with the Clearfield trait and one with the Roundup Ready gene. For soybeans, the company has 23 new varieties: some have the Roundup Ready gene, two have the STS gene, nine have SCN resistance and one has white mold tolerance. The company also introduces a downy mildew-resistant sunflower, which is a linoleic hybrid; one high-oleic hybrid; and a long-seeded confection hybrid. Two sorghum hybrids with green bug biotype I resistance top out the company's seed lineup.
New auger system The auger on Kasco's new Rock-n-Roll single auger system rolls along a track. To fill a drill, the auger begins at one end of the drill and slides along a track until it reaches the other end.
Kasco claims that its auger system has a weight advantage; because it weighs only about 350 lbs., it doesn't add a lot of weight to the back of a drill. A four-section telescoping tube extends from the top of the auger to reach a grain drill of 15 or 20 ft. A wagon auger isn't necessary because the hopper of the auger lies beneath the gravity wagon. The system stays mounted on the drill, but you can change varieties and use it with more than one wagon. Plastic tubing is 6 in. and flighting choice is brush or rubber. Price: $1,850. Contact Kasco Mfg. Co., Dept. FIN, 170 W. 600 N., Shelbyville, IN 46176, 317/398-7973.

Did anyone watch Simply Quilts today? It looks like a fun way to make a pillow or quilt!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Did anyone watch Simply Quilts today? It looks like a fun way to make a pillow or quilt!
I don't get those shows here :(
I recorded it, but haven't watched it yet. I'll check it out!
Just watched it. It was a great idea for a pillow, but would be too much fabric for an entire quilt, But then again, you could also use old clothing I guess. The possibilities are endless. Thanks for the heads up!
This link has videos of the show, but I'm not sure which one you're talking about. Can you guide me?
I'll have to set it up to DVR so that I can watch it.
I watched the show and might use this as my class for our July guild meeting. It is my turn to teach something.
I now have 3 ideas going in my head.......3-D flying geese (Ricky Tims way), the raggy reverse applique pillow or bias binding from a square of fabric. Any ohter idas would be appreciated. We have quilters from beginners to very advanced. We all bring our supplies ready to sew and sew step by step together.

text: BNEWPORT CITY – When a life is in the balance, having the right equipment at the right time can make all the difference. That's why Newport Ambulance Service (NAS) wants to add two Lucas CPR devices to its fleet. Jay Wood, division manager for NAS, said the service has been in the process of obtaining federal grants to purchase the equipment. "They are machines that do CPR very, very efficiently," said Wood. "That is the big thing now when we talk about cardiac arrest."NAS members are trained in CPR, but according to Wood, the new machines are much more effective in saving lives. Wood said North Country Hospital has had such a device for about a year.For more of this story, see Friday's edition of the Newport Daily Express for Feb. 1, 2013.

Missing Priest
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The sister of a Roman Catholic priest from Indianapolis who went missing last week in Greece says her family is relieved he's made it safely out of that country after a nerve-racking week during which they feared for his life.
Nadia Kappes Charcap says her brother, the Rev. Christiaan Kappes, called their father's home Monday morning and told him he had left Greece and was in another country, which she declined to disclose.
Charcap said her 36-year-old brother did not explain during his call where he had been during the past week and their father was so overjoyed he didn't ask for details.
Charcap said her brother and his translator had gone to a Greek police station Oct. 1 to tell authorities they were both in danger because members of the translator's family wanted to kill them to get $70,000 from her inheritance.

OTTAWA — It didn't do a thing to cure tuberculosis, but over the past century the Adirondack chair and its Canadian cousin the Muskoka have become icons of the lazy, hazy days of summer.
The popular chair is now available in an exploding rainbow of materials, colours and design variations thanks to a bunch of industrious Ontario producers.
First, about the tuberculosis. Turn-of-the-twentieth-century medicine held that fresh air cured TB, so sanatoriums popped up in places like the Adirondacks in upstate New York.
Around the same time, Thomas Lee invented the Westport Chair, the Adirondack/Muskoka's forbearer. Because Lee's chair encouraged one to sit with shoulders back and chest thrust slightly forward, it automatically made for "in with the good air, out with the bad," and sanatoriums, so goes the story, snapped up the design.
Add a name change and a couple of minor design alterations, such as the swapping of a solid back and seat for slats, and the disease-curing Adirondack emerged.
The Muskoka chair, named for Ontario's famous cottage region, is really just an Adirondack that got re-baptized when it journeyed north, although purists insist its back is curved while the Adirondack's is flat.
All this stuff about the chair helping cure disease set TB germs guffawing madly, but at least the tubercular patient, like contemporary fans of the chair, was comfy.
"The secret to that," says outdoor furniture manufacturer Ian Mackie, "is the relationship between the back and the seat. It's a 95 degree angle. That allows you to sit comfortably for very long time. It's like having a lumbar support."
Mackie and his wife Sandy operate Jardinique (www.jardinique.com) in Roseneath, Ontario. They make funky Westport chairs modeled on the original, including solid backs and seats and 21-centimetre-wide arms, just right for resting a long, cool one or a book.
They also make Garden chairs, inspired by the Rietveld chair designed in 1918 by Dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld. While Ian says the Westport works well on flagstone or in more formal settings (ideal for The Glebe, he says), the Garden Chair, smaller and notable for clean vertical and horizontal lines, is more subtle and would even fit indoors.
Jardinique also manufactures the Lounge chair. Similar to the Westport, but with a circular back, it was inspired by Sandy's childhood summers at fishing lodges in Quebec's Eastern Townships. "There were all these chairs lined up on big verandas, and I'd sit in them and read," she says. "It's that cottage-y, lake-y feeling."
Jardinique's chairs, built to remain outside year-round and available in cheery colours, sell for $299, plus shipping and handling. They can be assembled in an hour or two using a screwdriver.
Resort-grade comfort
Closer to home, Arborisan Wood Craft (arborisanwoodcraft.com) in Stittsville manufactures sturdy Adirondack chairs and a more formal line of English garden furniture. The products are available fully assembled or in three kit forms. Prices vary accordingly: the Adirondack chair, for example, runs from $46.80 for the rough kit, which requires several hours of assembly time, to $229.90 for a fully-assembled model.
"We build resort-grade chairs. They're one-and-half inches thick, instead of three-quarters of an inch. They're built for abuse," says Bill Colls, a former high-tech fellow, who operates the business with his wife Heather and son Geoffrey.
A blend of spruce, pine and fir, the products should be painted or stained to ensure longevity, he adds.
The company also manufactures bunkies and other outdoor structures. Products can be picked up at the plant or shipped if necessary.
Eye popping colours
In Stratford, Ontario, meanwhile, C.R. Plastic Products (generation-line.com) combines traditional garden furniture design with an equally old-fashioned commitment to waste not, want not. It uses recycled plastic in 15 eye-popping colours, including fuchsia, lime and bright yellow for its environmentally-conscious Generation Line. Its catalogue includes Adirondack chairs, loungers and picnic tables.
Now shipping internationally, the 16-year-old business is growing by leaps and bounds, says sales manager Tracey Diamond. Made of high-density plastic from restaurant food pails, each chair saves 30 pails from going to a landfill.
Because the pigments run all the way through the plastic, the colours won't fade, she says. As to maintenance: "I power wash mine once a year and wipe them down a few times with Armor All for UV protection."
Suggested retail price for Generation Line chairs, which have a ten-year warranty, is $280-$340. In Ottawa-Gatineau, they're available at The Long Weekend (thelongweekend.ca), Emery Centre Jardins and Bio-horticentre.
Big box contacts
Big box stores also carry non-wood Adirondacks. Home Depot, for example, sells its folding, resin-based EON chair at $149. Home Depot, maybe not wanting to ruffle any feathers, refers to the chair as both an Adirondack and a Muskoka.
Whatever you call it, the chair surged to the top of the popularity charts after both world wars, says Daniel Mack, a New York State-based furniture maker and author of The Adirondack Chair: A Celebration of a Summer Classic, published in 2008.
One reason for the chair's post-war popularity, Mack explains, is that sitting in it entailed a feeling of vulnerability. "If you've ever sat in one, you'll know it's not easy to get out of quickly," he says. "It appealed especially to the middle class after World War Two. It's a matter of having control over your territory. You're saying, 'Look at me now. Who ever thought I'd be this secure?"
Mack worries about the advent of the plastic Adirondack. Whereas an old wooden one carries its own story — this is the chair my grandmother bought, and my dad rebuilt, and we kids all sat in — how, he asks, can a piece of plastic possibly resonate that way?
Wood or plastic
Leisure Forest Products (leisureforest.com) appeals to both camps. The Brantford, Ontario manufacturer offers Adirondack/Muskoka chairs in either Western Red Cedar or recycled plastic from roughly $299 to $519 retail.
The company, says owner Doug Holmstead, uses the best design elements of both the American and Canadian versions of the chair, and produces slightly different-sized chairs for different-sized users. The wooden Grande is ideal for taller people, while the Deluxe better suits those under 180 centimetres.
In the Ottawa area, the chairs are available in kit form at BMR/Builder's Warehouse in Orléans and the Kemptville Building Centre. They can also be ordered directly from the factory. The kits take about 15-20 minutes to assemble.
Leisure Forests' recycled plastic chairs come in six fade-resistant colours, including Cardinal Red and Turf Green. Those made of cedar — "one of the most stable woods available for the outdoors," says Holmstead — are available pre-stained or natural.
So, pick your chair. It's almost summertime, and the living is about to get easy.

Seb and Kimi just under the 50-lap mark
Interlagos, November 10th – Both practice sessions at the Autodromo Carlos Pace turned out to be quite uneventful, as despite the ever-present threat of rain, drivers only had to contend with a few intermittent and harmless drops during FP2. Scuderia Ferrari drivers jumped at the opportunity to rack up the laps of the 4.3 Km circuit, working mostly in preparation for Sunday's race, which is supposed to be run in dry conditions. Sebastian covered 48 laps and Kimi 45.
"I think that in the end we ran more than what we expected as it didn't rain", Seb commented. "It was nice to be able to do a lot of laps today. We need to find the right balance and this should help us get the pace for the qualifying session and the race, but I still think it won't be easy to defeat our main competitors. We'll see where we get tomorrow".
"It's only a Friday", said Kimi, "and as always, we keep trying different things to learn from them. The tires will play a key role here as usual, the performance will depend on how they work and how long they will last. I felt some vibrations at the beginning of my stint, but that's quite normal to have sometimes in the car: usually it comes from tires and different sets. We don't know what the temperatures will be over the rest of the weekend, but we cannot change them anyway and it will be the same for everybody".
The third and final practice session will start tomorrow at 11 AM local time. There is a high chance of showers.
roll on 2018 already.....but teh winter mode is gonna feel like decades again until we get to see the NEW car again in Feb and then 2018 winter testing....so NOT looking forward to all that wait.....:(

24 September 2013, Geneva, Switzerland - During an information session for government delegates to the United Nations organised by OCHA at the Palais des Nations, UNOSAT was unanimously commended for its work in providing the humanitarian community at large with satellite imagery analysis and near-real time rapid mapping.
The meeting was called by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs specifically to inform UN member states about the UNOSAT Humanitarian Rapid Mapping Service, which has turned 10 years old this year. In opening the meeting, Rashid Khalikov, Director of OCHA Geneva said "UNOSAT does good work and I could see for myself from the field in Pakistan and Libya how useful their analyses are".
The collaboration between UNOSAT and OCHA dates back to the very beginning of UNOSAT in 2000. The relationship then grew into a partnership with the increase of the value of geographic information in the area of emergency response. Satellite imagery analysis is a specialised high-end part of the geographic information needed to address humanitarian relief coordination today. OCHA accounts for about 35% of all UNOSAT humanitarian mapping activations. Each year the UNOSAT team supports with rapid mapping an average of 35 to 40 emergencies worldwide.
"Our job in the humanitarian field is to respond to requests from OCHA and other agencies like UNICEF, UNHCR, WFP and others" says Einar Bjorgo, the Manager of UNOSAT. Since 2006 UNOSAT has responded to 100% of the requests emanating by humanitarian agencies, thanks to the support received from some member states and because of economies of scale among UNOSAT mapping services.
Satellite analysis is today a central element of objective situational awareness in humanitarian crises and geographic information systems (GIS) are becoming a leading standard for joint needs assessments. UNOSAT experts have also started involving volunteer mappers and ordinary citizens in a new generation of geographic products that integrate data and photos from people living in affected areas.
"OCHA and UNITAR have created this partnership so that the whole humanitarian community can benefit from UNOSAT mapping. We have heard from many agencies and also governments how satellite analysis and rapid mapping has helped take the right decisions and eventually save lives. We want to thank our donors and invite others to join them in supporting what UNOSAT does for humanitarians" said Sally Fegan-Wyles, Executive Director of UNITAR.
The future of rapid mapping is bright, according to the UNOSAT Manager: "While ten years ago we had to remind humanitarians of the availability and benefits of rapid mapping, UNOSAT support is now considered as indispensable and an integral part of any major humanitarian operation".
UNOSAT management is appealing to donors to support the 2014-2016 implementation plan. For more information: firstname.lastname@example.com

I received this email, and sent the following response:
Yesterday, a caller was discussing the Mormons religion with you. Your response surprised my wife and me. You were not definitive about this particular cult/false religion.
What has been simple for me is to inform someone that if a Mormon is practicing Mormon doctrine, he/she could not be also a born again Christian. Why? Because the Mormon gospel doctrine states that Jesus is a brother of Lucifer. That demotes Jesus to merely an angel--taking away His deity.
If, however, a Mormon is simply a jack Mormon and does not know the Mormon doctrines, he/she may very well be saved. A good evidence of being saved would be to shortly pull away from the cult. Hope that helps.
Hi Ron,
As for the Mormons, I have always been clear that their doctrine about Christ is seriously wrong. What I am not competent to judge would be whether this means they actually worship "a different Jesus" or simply have a very flawed understanding of the same Jesus. Jesus is not merely the sum total of theological propositions that may be made about Him. Since Jesus is a real person, about whom people may have more or less accurate perceptions (we behold Him as through a glass—2 Cor.3:18), it is hard to know how many propositions one may be ignorant of while still loving the true Jesus. My children had very limited understanding of me when they were infants. As they grew to know me better, I did not become a different person. I was the same person, but they simply gained a better grasp of who I am and what I am like.
We understand Christ to be the second Person of the Trinity. The disciples did not know this when they left their nets to follow Him. Nor did they understand this, years later, after following Him for some time (John 14:9). They had a deficient understanding of Jesus, but it was the real and only Jesus whom they followed. They learned more of the truth about Him as they continued to be Christians and were led into all truth by the Spirit. Yet they were His disciples long before they understood His deity. They became His disciples when they committed themselves to Him. The rest was gradual growth into their eventual full understanding of who this man was whom they had come to follow.
If we could go back in a time machine and interview any of the disciples a year before the crucifixion, we would find their Christology very inadequate, compared to ours. However, we would have to acknowledge them to be Christian disciples (even apostles!), despite their sub-Christian Christology. When I meet a person today who seems committed to Jesus, but who has very defective understanding of who He is, I am not able to judge whether Jesus sees him/her as a very ignorant, but true, disciple, or whether He sees him/her as a disciple of another (false) Jesus. It is thus easy for me to critique the theology of a group without forming ultimate judgments about individuals who may be deceived within the groups (Roman Catholics or Oneness Pentecostals, for example).
If it were my assignment from God to determine which of these people are "saved" and which are not, I would be in a lot of trouble. Fortunately, this is not my assignment. My assignment is to know Him and make Him known to others. Everyone, including I, needs to know Him better than currently. In the course of trying to make Christ better known to everybody, I may be able gradually to draw a Mormon (among others) into a less-heretical view of Christ, but I will not know at what point God comes to recognize him as His disciple. That is something I am not necessarily required to know.

Haha, I love your description of it! It is such a beautiful dress, it suits you to a tee! It's a shame that your trip out didn't work out, but honestly that dress looks good anywhere!ReplyDelete
This is absolutely the dress of my dreams. White, sleeves, Edwardian -ish without being too lacy. Of course the tea stains will come out; please don't even think of colouring it!ReplyDelete
You look so lovely and pretty! I know what you mean with the mini edwardian thing, I wish all our male counterparts would dress up as victorian gentlemen for a week or so. :D Panda xoReplyDelete
Oh my god, Katie. You look gorgeous and I'm so endlessly jealous of that dress.ReplyDelete

You look beautiful! That dress is absolutely stunning. I once spilled a whole flask of coffee down a cream silk blouse I own (and scalded myself something awful!) but it came out easy as pie so hopefully your dress will be fine!ReplyDelete
The dress is so beautiful! It looks gorgeous on you! Not at all like underwear ;)ReplyDelete
Perfect dress, perfect bag, perfect ring.ReplyDelete
I love your dress!! I think it's very important to choose clothing on the basis of it looking like Edwardian underwear-that is how a few things have got into my closet recently.ReplyDelete
These pictures are just beautiful!
From Carys of La Ville Inconnue
What lovely lacy details!ReplyDelete
As a total ebay newb, do you have any tips for hunting down vintage on there? I'm never sure what to search for, any keywords or sellers you'd reccomend trying.ReplyDelete
That dress is perfection! I too have an awkward habit of getting abnormally excited about anything that looks remotely like historical underpinnings. But really, I will get abnormally excited about anything Edwardian.ReplyDelete
But really, this dress is lovely and suits you so well!
Beautiful dress. I'm on the lookout for a perfect white dress.ReplyDelete
The Edwardian period is woefully neglected in fashion. You look wonderful.ReplyDelete

"it ended up going for 17$. I forgot about the auction and watched Parks and Recreation. I'm trying very hard not to think about this tragedy" - Hehe, I know *exactly* what you mean about this! Also, your dress is gorgeous, very ladylike. I have a similar white lace one and I sometimes wear it with a black slip underneath and a black waist belt, just a new way to wear an old favourite of mine.ReplyDelete

Love the dress! What a find!ReplyDelete
oh my gosh this is the prettiest outfit ever.ReplyDelete
You are absolutely beautiful!ReplyDelete
So funny--- just the other day, I bought a dress and exclaimed 'This looks like I could be a castmember of The Mary Tyler Moore Show!'. The gal behind me at the dressrack stared. Good times!
This dress is gorgeous and the bag is beautiful too! I understand why your mother wouldn't let you take it ;)ReplyDelete
I went through a bit of an Edwardian phase myself. The clothing (and undies!) are so pretty.
I love that dress though. Perfect for summer :)
you do make a lovely edwardian girl. that dress looks amazing on you. i also say weird/inappropriate things about clothing around people who have no idea what i'm saying.ReplyDelete
I think the Edwardian period is my favourite, I try to watch as many movies as I can based in that period and read books written then. E. M. Forster is one of my favourite authors... 'Maurice' is incredible, as is the adaptation. My love affair with the Edwardian period began in 2005 when I was 15 and I watched 'A Room with a View' transfixed in a classroom of mostly disinterested girls.ReplyDelete
I love this dress on you, the back detail particularly is gorgeous. I love that you bought it because of what it reminded you of! I'm always drawn to outfits like that :)
I want the dress! It's so pretty!ReplyDelete
That dress seriously looks so flattering on you. With your skin tone and dark hair, it looks amazing!ReplyDelete
This dress i just too beautiful. I am so terribly envious! And I loved it so much I featured you for this weeks Style Crush! http://www.holland1945.com/2011/07/style-crush.htmlReplyDelete
Thanks Kate!
"I have to have this, it looks like Edwardian underwear!"-- that is the best sentence ever! Haha!ReplyDelete
I covet this dress. Lovely!

The most important thing to remember is that you can wear all the greatest
clothes and all the greatest shoes, but you've got to have a good spirit
on the inside. That's what's really going to make you look like you're ready
