Bethel given
social work
Bethel College's bacca-laureate
social work pro-gram
has been granted ac
creditation by the Council
on Social Work Education
of New York City. "This
significant achievement is
the happy outcome of
years of effort by faculty,
students, and administra-tion,"
said . John Bower,
A.C.S.W., director of Beth-el's
social work program.
Andy Pratt, formerly on the professional rock circuit, will be playing for one of his first Christian
audiences tonight at Bethel.
Pratt/Heard concert starts weekend fun
Mark Heard, a contemporary Christian artist, will appear in
concert tonight, Feb. 12, at 8 p.m.
Strong community sup-port—
involving numerous
social service agencies,
their administrators and
professional staffs—was
also a factor leading to
accreditation, he stated,
for which Bethel is grate-ful.
Currently, more than
60 junior and senior level
students have community-based
field placements
which involve nearly 45
professionals as field fa-culty.
Accreditation by the
Council indicates that
graduates are prepared for
entry-level professional em-ployment
as social workers.
College graduates are qua-lified
for advanced stand-ing
at the graduate level
and areh eligible for posi-tions
and licensure which
specify candidates from ac-credited
programs. Accre-ditation
also entitles gra-duates
to membership in .
the National Association
of Social Workers.
Three full-time and
three part-time social
work faculty members,
plus the supporting staff,
comprise Bethel's on-cam-pus
program personnel. In
addition, more than a do-zen

many students want
to sell their used books.

McCleary stated that
using the PO system for
selling books is a conven-ience
for the students but
involves workers going to
the window four times for
each book sold. Someone
has to receive the book
from the seller, give the
book to the buyer, receive
the money from the buyer
and then give the money
to the seller. Past prob-lems
have also included
money being stolen.
Brice Russell, Senate
treasurer, said the Senate
is not sponsoring the book

of the overload it places on

Marvin Fuller, manager
of purchasing and book-stores,
said it is the policy
of the bookstore to buy a
book for each student reg-istered
for the class plus
two additional books. "Our
biggest concern is to have
a book for each student,"
he said.
When students buy
books from other students,
it means the bookstore is
left with extra copies.

but I'm not going to guess
how many to order and

He said he feels
that a student cannot
operate without a book for
that long in most classes
at Bethel.
The main problem when
the bookstore does not sell
the books is the cost to the
bookstore. A letter must
be written to the publisher
requesting return privi-leges.
For the publisher to ac-cept
a book return it can
have no marks from hand-ling,
price tags, or ship-ping.
Shipping the books
is costly and sometimes
publishers will not accept
books back once they have
sold them. This leaves the
bookstore with hundreds
of dollars' worth of books.
Students also have an op-portunity
to sell their used
books to the bookstore at
the end of each semester.

The dean's list... an
honor, an incentive, a lot

By maintaining at least
three course units during
a semester, and by achiev-ing
at least a 3.5 grade
point average (GPA), a
student will be on the
dean's list, according to
Chester Duck, registrar.
A separate dean's list is
compiled each semester
and is run when the grades
are sent out. If a student
has an incomplete to make
up, he/she is not eligible.
Approximately 300-350
students qualify for the
dean's list each semester.
The dean's list holds no
official function. "Its pri-mary
purpose is to recog-nize
students for their hard
work and to encourage
other students to work just
as hard," said Duck.
According to Duck, be-ing
on the dean's list is a
bonus for employment pur-poses.

Liberal arts education
widens one's horizons
Several years ago a young person left home to go to a
liberal arts college. That person became a student of the
sciences and wanted to be a scientist. However, com-bined
with chemistry, math and biology the student
was exposed to the Bible, the visual and performing
arts and literature, all part of the liberal arts process.
Through exposure to the arts the student slowly
began to realize that the arts too are an attempt at truth.
The themes the student found in art were immediately
relevent to life, even if intangible. Truth or reality, the
student found, was not necessarily something that
could be expressed in an equation, demonstrated in a
chemical reaction or captured on film.
This is the function of a liberal arts education, to
expose the student to the vast variety of ideas and
disciplines there are in the world. Integration of that
material into the lives of students helps them to
become people more aware of the world around them.
The ideas and skills learned in college are real.
Research and interview techniques as well as writing
and skills specific to one's discipline transfer to non-academic
life. How well the skills learned on campus
transfer to what some call the 'real world' is, to some
extent dependent on the individual.
College is the real world but it is a highly compressed
aspect of it. That compression gives it an unreal or
contrived appearance but all organizations are con-trived.
The advantage is that in this aspect of reality
there is the relatively easy opportunity to be exposed to
a variety of ideas, take chances and make mistakes that
can only benefit the student as an educational process.
Part of the process of learning is fitting a lot of seem-ingly
different things together. Art and science are just
two examples.
Language course
by Anita Baerg
Many Bethel students
became involved with the
Hmong in the Twin Cities
area during January when
the interim course "Learn-ing
Language" opened new
opportunities for both the
students and the Hmong.
Don Larson, professor
of linguistics and anthro-pology,
originated the idea
for three reasons. The first
was that although there
are over 10,000 Hmong in
the Metro area, not many
people in the dominant cul-ture
know the Hmong lan-guage.
"It's a rare domin-gram
could be done by
themselves. They were en-couraged
to use their own
initiative and skills in work-ing
out pronunciation and
grammar exercises.
A typical day began
with a team of Hmong
, meeting with small groups
of students for language
learning. Another group of
Hmong meet with Larson
at that time. After all had
lunch together, the stu-dents
and the Hmong
switched roles. A group of
volunteers taught the
Hmong in the afternoon,
and some students con-tinued
with language
Up to 50 Bethel students
volunteered to instruct the
Hmong on how to adjust
to the Twin Cities culture.
Topics included repairing

"I enjoyed this class be-cause
it opened my eyes
refugee situation and made
me aware of their exper-iences,"
said Charlene
Autey, a student in the
class. "I'm also excited
about Americans taking
the initiative to learn the
(Hmong) language."
Most people working
with the course thought it
was a positive step toward
helping and learning about
the Hmong. "I thought it
was an excellent exper-ience,"
said Autey. The
Hmong too benefited
from this and showed pos-itive
signs of enjoyment,
said Larson.
The original organiza-tion
and funding for the

department under
the direction of Kevin

A second reason for the
class was Larson's idea
that language programs
tend not to make use of the
language-speaking people
in the area. This was one
way of learning how the
language sounds from the
native tongue, and stu-dents
learned more than

Gallery transformed into a sound environment
by Leann M. Kicker
Beeps, buzzes, dim light,
tilting columns: the art gal-lery
has been transformed
into a new environment.
The room is filled with a
group of strategically
placed columns which
emanate sound. Two gal-lery
lights are the only
illumination. The sound is
a series of synthesized,
computer-prompted tones
and silence. It is called
"Sculpture/Sound" and re-quires
participation rather
than mere viewing.
The work was created
by Stewart luckman, pro-fessor
of art at Bethel, and
David Held, sound artist,
in collaboration with a
group of four students
from the interim course
"Pursuit of Excellence."
The students (Andre
LaBerge, Beth Langstaff,
Chris Anible and Steve
Mills) "were artists who
worked with artists to do
a major work," said Luck-man.
Luckman explained
that the students "got into
my head about my inten-tions
and made important
decisions about the piece."
Luckman made it quite
clear that the students did
not just install the piece;
they actually built and in-stalled
it. "The show,"
Luckman said, "grew out
of the CELL experience I
was responsible for. The
people worked with me as
apprentices." (CELL is
Bethel's Center for Excel-lence
in Living and Learn-ing.)
The idea for this piece
actually started while
Luckman was still work-ing
on Rokker V, a piece he
did for the University of
Minnesota. He met David
Held and they casually dis-cussed
doing a show to-gether.
In late September-early
October the two men
started seriously discuss-.
ing a cooperative venture.
"I wanted to work with
another artist—a sound
artist," said Luckman.
"Also," said Luckman, "Da-vid
(Held) said he wanted
to do a three-dimensional,
environmental thing."
According to Luckman
this type of thing was a
first for both of them. Al-though
the piece has been
in the planning for months,
"on napkins and scraps,"
according to Luckman,
actual building began in
January. The group had to
wait for the shipment of
Luckman's germinal
idea had something to do
with using the gallery
space as part of a piece. He
also wanted to make the
gallery seem unstable. He
had to find a means to
convey that idea.
"Eventually I thought of
forms driving through the
floor: leaning, tilting, using
the floor as a plane," said
Luckman. "Then I had to
find a material (to do

are worth from $14 to $40.
For Luckman the piece
is a success. "It works very
well," he said. "I hope peo-ple
will get into the work.
They have to use eyes,
ears, their skin, not just
climb on it.
Luckman also said he
liked the way people re-acted
to the show on open-ing
night. "They were
thrown off guard initially,
for just a minute. Then
they started from there. It
was great to see people
staying, coming and going.
finally we had a bunth of
young, live people at the
opening. It was like a cel-ebration."
Bonita Wahl also ex-pressed
satisfaction with
the response to the show.
"I don't think people have
lost the hope to be able to
create together with no
prior education...in any
field. This piece shOws
that potential."
Luckman said he
thought the reception was
an indication of things
happening in the college.

The trial is a travesty of
justice, but the defense ex-posed

to make a few suggestions.
Go out on a date and
enjoy a quiet evening to-gether.
To enjoy the si-lence,
make it necessary
that all communication for
the evening be nonverbal,
such as gestures and facial
expressions. If you can
keep quiet the entire even-ing,
you either deserve an
award, or need counseling.
Perhaps you would like
to do something for your
neighbors. Give a card, or
do something special, but
don't let them know you
did it.

Students set up camp in LRC
by Ginger Hope
In an apparent attempt
not to be outdone by the
winter wilderness camp-ers,
a group of rugged in-doorsmen
embarked on a
daring overnight expedi-tion
into Bethel's own final
frontier: the LRC.
Having skillfully evad-ed
observation by main-tenance
crews and secur-ity
personnel, two scouts
signaled the "all clear" to
their seven cohorts. The
nine then set up camp in
the LRC's dark upper level.
This was no backyard
slumber party, but a full-scale
operation complete
with tents, snowshoes,
and cast-iron fry-pan over
a flameless campfire. Pot-ted
trees were temporarily
imported from the Bethel
halls to enhance the un-tamed
forest wilderness
What does one do to
pass the time at an LRC
camp-out? "Oh, we sang
songs, and explored the
surrounding area—you
know, the usual camping
stuff," said one camper.
"I wrote a paper," said
another. There's one in
every crowd.
At 6:15 a.m. the crew
moved camp to the main
level of the LRC. Their
presence seemed to attract
no special attention on the
part of early-morning li-brary-
goers, with the ex-ception
of one passerby,
who asked how soon they
were planning to leave.
Apparently satisfied with
the reply, he continued on
his way.
The campers' RA, asked
if he was forewarned of
the camp-out, replied,
"Camp-out?' What camp-out?"

Flat-rate tuition encourages full load for students events calendar
by Laurie Challman and
JoAnn Watkins
Tuition: 4.00 courses-
$1962.50, 3.00 courses-
1962.50, 2.00 courses-
$1050, 1.0 courses-$525.
These are the charges ac-cording
to class load at
Bethel under a flat-rate
tuition policy.
For students taking only
three courses, Bethel's
flat-rate tuition policy
"seems unfair on the sur-face
but it's really not,"
said Dan Nelson, director
of enrollment in Public
Affairs. The policy has
been in effect for the past
five years.
"Most private colleges
use the comprehensive or
flat-rate tuition policy be-cause
it is more approp-riate,"
said Nelson. "The
per-course tuition system
is mostly a creature of
public schools."
The flat fee is based on
the cost of 8.5 courses per
year, the number of cour-ses
needed each year to
graduate in four years.
"An unwritten policy of
Bethel is that it intends to
be a four-year college,"
said Nelson.
When Bethel experi-mented
with the per-course
system from 1972-
1977, "the students tended
to take five or more years
to finish. The problem with
the per-course system was
that it encouraged stu-dents
to stay longer. The
cost to the institution was
also higher," said Nelson.
"At the time it was
changed (to the flat rate
system,)" said Dr. Dwight
Jessup, director of aca-demic
affairs, "we felt it
would be cost-saving for

Nelson explained that
per-course tuition- is not a
fair way to charge tuition
because of the fixed costs
that the institition incurs
through maintenance of

are included in tuition.
According to Jessup,

"The full-time students
would be subsidizing the
part-time students," said
Dr. Tricia Brownlee, di-rector
of academic pro-grams.
If the student is taking
only three courses and
paying per course, he is
paying only three-fourth
of his share of fixed costs,
while the student taking a
full load is paying all of
his share of the fixed costs,
explained Nelson.
Nelson also said that
the current tuition struc-ture
favors heavy class
loads. "This is a disadvan-tage
for those students
who plan to be part-time."
said Nelson. "Those who
take three courses pay the
full rate for a four-course
semester. However, there
are only a small number
who are disadvantaged,"
he said.
Ninety-five percent of
the students were enrolled

of taking four classes,"
said Brownlee. Four cour-ses
is equivalent to full-time

Jessup pointed out the
advantage of the flat-rate
system for students need-ing
one-half course credit.
It can be added to the stu-dent's
course load without
extra charge.
"I think there are very
few students hurt by the
system," said Brownlee.
"You're not going to have
one (system) work for ev-eryone.
We feel it is the

the largest number of stu-dents."

A rollercoaster week of
play ended on the upswing
for the Bethel hockey team
as the Royals upset highly
rated St. Scholastica for
its 10th win of the season.
David Johnson, the.only
senior on the young Royal
squad, was the driving
force behind Bethel's two
wins in the three games
played. Johnson had six
goals and three assists in
the week, setting a new
Bethel scoring record of 35
points (20 goals, 15 as-sists)
with eight games
still left in the season.
The week began well as
the Royals easily handled
the University of Wiscon-sin-
Superior 8-4 as John-son
had a hat trick as well
as three assists in the Feb.
2 game. The Royals' for-tune
took a quick down-swing
two days later a-gainst
conference oppo-nent
Hamline as Bethel
lost 8- 3.
"It was just a bad game
all the way," said disap-pointed
Royals Coach
Craig Dahl. "We plain
weren't ready to play. No
excitement, no enthusiasm
- just a bad game."
Dahl confided that after
the Hamline game team
moral was low, but sev-eral
team meetings prior
to the St. Scholastica game
returned the Royals' enthu-siasm
to its previous state.
St. Scholastica was ra-ted
as the number one
small college team in the
country by one hockey
publication, but Bethel
apparently wasn't im-pressed
with the Saints'
advanced billing. Johnson
got Bethel off to a quick
start in the first period as
he punched home two
goals, the second coming
on the power play.

- In last week's MIAC
action the Macalester
Scots visited Bethel for a
return match. The two
teams met earlier in the
season, resulting in a 72-
53 Mac victory. The Roy-als

Andre LaBerge. Unfortun-ately
for the Scots both
were at full strength for
the second game with a

Trailing 2- 1 after the first
period, St. Scholastica held
the Royal offense scoreless
while chalking up two
scores of its own to take a
3-2 lead into the final per-iod.
Joe Skelly tied the
game for Bethel as he
scored his first collegiate
goal and Jeff Schaber put
in the game winner at
11:38. With 18 seconds left
in the contest Scott Mayer
scored on the open net to
ice the. game.
The way his Royal team
came back to play after
the Hamline loss had Dahl
as pleased as the triumph
over the highly touted
Saint squad.
"We figured it was time
to get back together as a
team and they did and it
works well when you do
play together," he said.
"We had unbelievable hus-tle
and support yesterday
(Feb. 6). It was strictly
attitude (the difference
from the Hamline game)."

the contest against St.
Thomas at the state fair-grounds.
During the first half,
victory appeared to be a
questionable outcome for
the Royals. Mac jumped to
a 23- 15 lead and stayed in
a tight zone defense. Beth-el
was doing very little
offensively to crack that
defense until Dick Good-win

goals. Mike Hanley also

Call now for the easiest diet plan ever! You won't believe it. No pills to buy, no special prepared foods, no costly and useless supplements! Act now, and we will throw in this handy plate guide for FREE! All this is yours for just ...
Well, I could make a lot of money selling the next, hot, new diet. And why not? Everyone else is. Just think the Expat Diet!
"Oh, are you on Expat? So, am I!"
I can hear it now to the tune of cash registers ringing. Sign me up.
I hate diets. I hate diet ads and diet products and diet plans. I hate promises of that easy magic pill that lets you sleep away fat or some other b.s. And it is just that.
There's no magic pill. Get over it already. We're onto you diet people and you are not going to lie to us anymore. Or make us give up bread. You were a cruel, cruel man, Dr. Atkins.
So, here is my anti-diet. I had to learn this when I was pregnant and could not tolerate the glucola long enough to get through the test. So, I got to be treated for gestational diabetes. I got a lovely monitor and a food plan. Not diet plan. Food plan.
Most of it was common sense and a lot of pokes in the finger. It was also a lot of work. It was like I was walking — waddling — around all friggin' day either eating, getting ready to eat, or planning what I would eat next. I have vowed never to become diabetic.
But, I didn't take a vow that I would not gain weight like every other working mom, too busy to exercise much. So, here I sit, with my few extra pounds, tight waistband, and my food plan out again, trying to get back on track. I learned a few good lessons from the experience:
- How many servings of each type of food I should eat each day
- All the different colors and kinds of veggies I can eat on the plan
- Small meals and healthy snacks work best for me
- When is best to eat, and what combinations of foods are best (eat proteins with carbs)
- The true size of a portion
- The tremendous amount of healthy food I can eat for the same amount of calories as a small bit of unhealthy food
- Glucola tastes awful, makes me throw up, and pass out
So, here's the easy plan I am going to try. See the plate photo at the top of the post? It's a normal size plate. I will not overload it or mound the servings to the rim. I will have three of these a day with half the plate holding fruit and veggies, one-fourth the plate holding a lean meat, and the other fourth holding a whole grain.
I will try to eat most, not all, of my meals like this. Sure, I will have to make adjustments for things like pasta dishes and other combination dishes. If I get hungry, I'll try to have a healthy snack. I will aim for 5-9 servings of vegetables and fruits per day, more veggies than fruit. I will try to make sure most, if not all, of my fats are healthy fats.
It won't work every day. I know this because I am a realist. But, I will aim to make it happen most of the time. And I will try to remember my portion sizes.
Some examples:
- One serving of meat = 3 oz.
- One serving of vegetable = 1/2 cup cooked or 1 cup raw
- One serving of fruit = examples are 1 small apple, or 1 cup berries, or 1/4 cup dried fruit
- Grains/Legumes/Starches = 1/3 cup cooked pasta, or 1/2 cup mashed potato, 1 slice whole grain bread (note that potatoes are not in the vegetable category).
- Milk = 1 cup skim, or 3-4 oz. sweetened yogurt
Oh yeah, ketchup? Does not count as a vegetable. Sorry, but no way, unless you eat half a cup of ketchup. Fries count as a starchy vegetable, not a vegetable. Ready for this? You only get 10-15 fries per serving. That's like the corner of the supersize box, you know? Or maybe just licking the grease off the bottom of the carton even.
As far as number of servings of each food type to eat daily, the food guide pyramid is a good resource — if you can decipher the new food pyramid diagram, that is. Luckily, they have a handy calculator on the site. It also has tracking tools and a worksheet if you are more interested.
It's not a bad idea to check these guidelines out since this is the kind of plan that school lunches will be based on if they ever update the guidelines from the 70s. This is basic, healthy eating guidelines. It is not a diet. I hate diets. Almost as much as I hate sit ups.
Because I also hate to count servings (and don't have time), I will just stick to my plate, eat a lot of different colors of fruits and veggies, and take the stairs. And, yeah, once in a while, I'm still going to eat ice cream. Because I am a realist, and I really love ice cream. But, I really hate sit ups.

[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of Greendale by Ord. No. 707 (Ch. 20 of the Code of Ordinances). Amendments noted where applicable.]
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a minimum set of standards in order to provide practical safeguarding of persons and property from health hazards arising from the installation and use of plumbing and potable water.
The scope of this chapter shall include plumbing installations from the point of the public water and/or sewer utility to the point of termination on private property.
In this chapter, "plumbing" means and includes:
All piping, fixtures, appliances, equipment, devices and appurtenances in connection with the water supply, water distribution and drainage systems, including hot water storage tanks, water softeners and water heaters connected with such water and drainage systems, and also includes the installation thereof.
The construction, connection or installation of any drain or waste piping system from the outside or proposed outside foundation walls of any building to the mains or other sewerage system terminal within bounds of or beneath an area subject to easement for highway purposes, including private sewage systems, and the alteration of any such systems, drains or waste piping.
The water service piping from the outside or proposed outside foundation walls of any building to the main or other water utility service terminal within bounds of or beneath an area subject to easement for highway purposes and its connections.
The water pressure system other than municipal systems as provided in Ch. 281, Wis. Stats.
A plumbing and drainage system so designed and vent piping so installed as to keep the air within the system in free circulation and movement; to prevent with a margin of safety unequal air pressures of such force as might blow, siphon or affect trap seals, or retard the discharge from plumbing fixtures, or permit sewer air to escape into the building; to prohibit cross-connection, contamination or pollution of the potable water supply and distribution systems; and to provide an adequate supply of water to properly serve, cleanse and operate all fixtures, equipment, appurtenances and appliances served by the plumbing system.
The provisions and regulations of Ch. 145, Wis. Stats., and Chs. Comm 25 and 82 to 87, Wis. Adm. Code, and future amendments thereto, are made a part of this chapter by reference and shall extend over and govern the installation of all plumbing installed, altered, or repaired in the Village, except as otherwise provided herein.
[Amended 1-6-1998 by Ord. No. 751]
To be on file. A copy of the State Plumbing Code shall be on file in the office of the Plumbing Inspector.
Appointment, term and compensation. The Village Manager shall appoint a Plumbing Inspector, along with such other plumbing inspectors as he deems necessary, who shall be a licensed plumber, practical plumber, skilled sanitarian or competent person familiar with plumbing and whose compensation shall be as fixed by the Village Board from time to time.
Duties and authority. The Plumbing Inspector shall enforce all provisions of this chapter and all other state and Village provisions relating to the construction, installation, alteration and repair of all plumbing within the Village and shall make such inspections, witness all required tests and issue such orders as may be necessary for such enforcement.
Notice of inspection. Upon the completion of the plumbing on any building or before any plumbing is to be hidden from view, it shall be the duty of the person, firm or corporation doing the same to notify the Plumbing Inspector, and he shall inspect the installation. If the inspection is not made by the end of the normal business day following the day of notification, not including Saturday, Sunday or legal holidays, the plumber may proceed with the testing and the installation.
Preparations for inspection. When the installation is ready for inspection, the plumber shall make such arrangements as will enable the Plumbing Inspector to inspect all parts of the plumbing system. The plumber shall have present the proper apparatus and appliances for making the tests and shall furnish such assistance as may be necessary in making the inspection. All plumbing work shall be tested in accordance with the provisions set forth in Ch. Comm 82, Wis. Adm. Code.
[Amended 1-6-1998 by Ord. No. 751]
Stop-work orders.
The Plumbing Inspector may order work stopped on the construction, installation, alteration or repair of plumbing when such work is being done in violation of this chapter. Work so stopped shall not be resumed except upon the verbal or written permission of the Plumbing Inspector, provided that if the stop-work order is given verbally, it shall be followed by a written order within a reasonable period of time.
No person shall use or permit to be used any plumbing until it has been inspected and approved by the Plumbing Inspector.
In the discharge of his/her duties, the Plumbing Inspector or his authorized agent may enter any building, upon presentation of the proper credentials, during reasonable hours for the purpose of inspection and may require the production of any permit or license required hereunder. No person shall interfere with the Inspector or his authorized agent while in the performance of his duties, and any person so interfering shall be in violation of this chapter and subject to a penalty as provided by § 20.14.
If consent to entry to personal or real properties which are not public buildings, or to portions of public buildings which are not open to the public, for inspection purposes has been denied, the Plumbing Inspector shall obtain a special inspection warrant under § 66.0119, Wis. Stats.
Required. No work contemplated by this chapter shall be started until a permit therefor has been obtained from the Plumbing Inspector or his authorized agent, provided that no permit shall be required for minor repairs to faucets or the removal of stoppages in soil and waste pipes.
Application. The application shall be in writing upon forms which the Plumbing Inspector shall provide and shall include the name of the owner and the description of the property on which the work is to be done, along with such pertinent information as the Plumbing Inspector may require, and shall state that the property owner and the applicant will be bound by and subject to the provisions of this chapter.
Issuance, term, suspension and revocation. When the Plumbing Inspector is satisfied that the work proposed by the applicant can be done in conformity with the provisions of this chapter, and after the appropriate fees have been paid, the Plumbing Inspector or his authorized agent shall issue the permit. Such permit shall be good for the continuous performance of the work named thereon. A permit shall automatically expire when work ceases for a period of 60 days without good and reasonable cause for the same and shall automatically expire on completion of the work for which it was issued, provided that the Plumbing Inspector may, upon notice, suspend or revoke such permit for violation of the provisions of this chapter.
Restrictions on issuance. No plumbing permit shall be issued to any person against whom an order issued by the Plumbing Inspector is pending, provided that this restriction may be waived by the Plumbing Inspector.
Appeals for failure to issue, suspension and revocation. Any person directly interested who is aggrieved by the decision of the Plumbing Inspector to refuse to issue a permit or to suspend or revoke such permit or to order work stopped under § 20.05(3) may obtain review of such determination under § 1.44 of this Code.
[Amended 12-3-2002 by Ord. No. 795; 12-2-2003 by Ord. No. 802]
Fee schedule.[1]
A fee as set by the Village Board in the fee schedule on file at the office of the Village Clerk-Treasurer shall be paid to the Clerk-Treasurer before the plumbing permit is issued.
When a property is benefited by connecting private service laterals to a sanitary sewer or water main, either previously existing or newly constructed, and where no assessments for the sanitary sewer and water main improvements have been previously levied against the property, the Village Board shall cause a connection fee to be charged to the benefited property in lieu of the special assessment normally charged to abutting owners. A connection fee shall be based on the current costs of construction for such improvement.
Inspection fees shall apply to water, sewer and waste connections for all types of acid and developing tanks, air conditioners, backflow prevention devices, bar and soda fountain fixtures, bathtubs, bottle washing machines, bottle washing tanks, drinking fountains, chillers, clothes washing machine hookups, coffee makers, cooling towers, cuspidors, dipper wells, dishwashers, drinking fountains, egg boilers, food waste disposers, gang shower heads, glass fillers, hose thread faucets, all laboratory and clinic fixtures, hot water storage tanks, hydrants, ice makers, laundry trays, novelty boxes, potato peelers, pressure-reducing valves, shampoo basins, shower stalls, sinks, steam kettles, steam tables, trap primers, turf sprinkling systems, unfired pressure vessels, urinals, vacuum pumps, wall hydrants, wash basins, wash fountains, water closets, water filters, water heaters, water softeners, and any other appliance connected with the water supply or drainage systems. This shall apply to sewer and waste connections for all types of area drains, backwater valves, catch basins or similar receptacles, conductors, deck drains, drain tile receivers, ejectors for sumps, floor drains, funnel connections, grease and oil interceptors, ice boxes, ice chests, manholes, pumps, refrigerators, roof drains, site drains, and final waste connections made to the sanitary or storm building sewer drain or branches leading into the same. Such fees shall also apply to any changes or alterations in any plumbing or drainage system where inspections are required.
Failure to obtain permit before work commences. (Penalty fees do not apply to emergency cases.) Double fees shall be charged for the first offense and triple fees for subsequent offenses.
Permit fees. All permit fees shall be paid to the Village Clerk-Treasurer, and no permit shall be issued or valid unless approved by an authorized agent of the Department of Inspection Services and the fee paid to the Village in the amount required for such permit. The fees for permits provided by this chapter shall become the property of the Village. If a plumbing permit is issued and not used, only that portion of the permit fee in excess of $30 will be refunded. No permit fees shall be refunded for permits which have expired under the provisions of Subsection (3).
Amending fees. The Village Board may amend the above plumbing permit fees from time to time though the passage of a resolution.
All plumbing work shall be done only by a plumber licensed by the state for such work, provided that a property owner may perform minor repairs or installations in a single-family building owned and occupied by him as his home if a permit therefor is issued and the work is done in compliance with this chapter.
There shall be kept by the Plumbing Inspector a complete record of all applications and permits, all inspections made and other official work performed under this chapter so arranged as to promptly afford information concerning plumbing installations.
All sump pumps installed for the purpose of discharging clear waters from foundation drains and ground infiltration shall have the sump pump discharge in such a manner so as not to adversely affect adjacent property or to create any nuisance.
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to protect public health, safety and welfare and to prevent contamination of groundwater by assuring that unused, unsafe or noncomplying wells or wells which may act as conduits for contamination of groundwater or wells which may be illegally cross-connected to the municipal water system are properly maintained or abandoned.
Applicability. This section applies to all wells located on premises served by the municipal water system.
Definitions. As used in this section, certain words and phrases shall be defined as follows:
- The community water system owned by the Village and operated by the Water Utility.
- A well or pump installation which does not comply with § NR 812.42, Wis. Adm. Code, Standards for existing installations, and which has not been granted a variance pursuant to § NR 812.43, Wis. Adm. Code.
- The pump and related equipment used for withdrawing water from a well, including the discharge piping, the underground connections, pitless adapters, pressure tanks, pits, sampling faucets and well seals or caps.
- A well or pump installation which produces water which is bacteriologically contaminated or exceeds the drinking water standards of § NR 812.06, Wis. Adm. Code, or for which a health advisory has been issued by the Department of Natural Resources.
- A well or pump installation which is not used or does not have a functional pumping system.
- An excavation or opening into the ground made by digging, boring, drilling, driving, or other methods for the purpose of obtaining groundwater for consumption or other use.

Abandonment required.
All wells on premises served by the municipal water system shall be properly abandoned in accordance with Subsection (6) of this section no later than 90 days from the date of connection to the municipal water system unless a valid well operation permit has been issued to the well owner by the Plumbing Inspector in accordance with Subsection (5).
Well operation permit.
A renewable permit may be granted to a private well owner, automatically transferred to a subsequent owner if sale occurs during a five-year period, to operate a well for a period not to exceed five years if the following requirements are met:
The owner shall be responsible for having a licensed well contractor verify that the well and pump meet the standards for existing installations described in § NR 812.42, Wis. Adm. Code.
The well and pump shall have a history of producing safe water evidenced by at least two coliform bacteria samples taken a minimum of two weeks apart. In areas where the Department of Natural Resources has determined that groundwater aquifers are contaminated with substances other than bacteria, additional chemical tests may be required to evidence safety of the water. The owner shall be responsible for providing the safe water sample test data to the Plumbing Inspector.
There shall be no cross-connections between the well's pump installation or distribution piping and the municipal water system.
The well water shall not discharge into a drain leading directly to a public sewer utility unless properly metered and authorized by the sewer utility.
The well shall have a functional pumping system, and the proposed use of the well water shall be justified as reasonable in addition to water provided by the municipal water system.
A well operation permit may be renewed by repeating the same procedures outlined in this Subsection (5).
Abandonment procedures.
All wells abandoned under the jurisdiction of this chapter shall be done according to the procedures and methods of § NR 812.26, Wis. Adm. Code. All debris, pumps, piping, unsealed liners and any other obstructions which may interfere with sealing operations shall be removed prior to abandonment.
The owner of the well, or the owner's agent, shall be required to obtain a well abandonment permit prior to any well abandonment and notify the Plumbing Inspector in advance of any well abandonment activities. The well abandonment procedure shall be observed by the Plumbing Inspector or his authorized agent. The Plumbing Inspector may, at his discretion, accept written verification from a certified contractor that the well has been abandoned in accordance with the proper procedures outlined in § NR 812.26.
An abandonment report form supplied by the Department of Natural Resources shall be submitted by the well owner to the Plumbing Inspector and the Department of Natural Resources within 30 days of the completion of the well abandonment.
State law. This section shall be subject to the provisions of Ch. 145, Wis. Stats., as amended from time to time, and all subsequent rules and regulations promulgated thereunder regarding private sewage systems.
Issuing agent. The Plumbing Inspector or his/her authorized agent shall act as the Village issuing agent and is hereby assigned the duties of administering the private sewage system program.
Sanitary permit.

No person shall sell at retail a septic tank for installation unless the purchaser holds a valid sanitary permit.
A sanitary permit is valid for two years from the date of issue and renewable for similar periods thereafter.

[Amended 1-6-1998 by Ord. No. 751]
Application process.
The applicant shall submit the completed sanitary permit application to the issuing agent.

Violations. The issuing agent shall investigate violations of this section, issue orders to abate the violations and submit orders to the Village Attorney or Attorney General for enforcement.
Other duties. The issuing agent shall perform other duties regarding private sewage systems as considered appropriate by the Village or as required by the rules of the Department.
This chapter shall not be construed to relieve from or lessen the responsibility or liability of any person supplying plumbing to or selling, renting, leasing, owning, using, operating, controlling, installing, altering, removing, replacing, disturbing, repairing, connecting, disconnecting or maintaining any plumbing system for damages to person or property caused by any defect therein or therefrom, nor shall the Village or its officers be held as assuming any such responsibility or liability by reason of the issuance or revocation of any permit or the inspection authorized by this chapter or by reason of the approval or disapproval of any plumbing product, equipment, sales, rentals, drawings, plans, specifications, materials, samples, test reports, literature, information or schedules authorized in this chapter. The Village or its officers shall not be held liable for any damages resulting from the enforcement of this chapter.

Half a Day on Sunday: Jewish-Owned "Mom and Pop" Grocery Stores
Between 1880 and 1924, a million and a half eastern European Jews came to the United States in search of economic opportunities and religious freedom. Arriving from ports in New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and other eastern cities, thousands settled in the Washington area, encouraged to try their luck in the burgeoning local economy by family members and landslayt (fellow townspeople from Eastern Europe). Of these, several hundred opened small "mom and pop" grocery stores.
Joseph and Lena Shankman inside Economy Meat Market at 2827 Georgia Ave, NW
JHSGW Collections.
Newcomers often apprenticed in a family member's grocery store until they had gained some experience and saved enough money to open a small store of their own. The business appealed to many immigrants because it required little start-up capital and only minimal knowledge of English. Moreover, because most grocer families lived above or behind the store, family members of all ages were readily available to serve customers.

When Edward feels home sick for chicago, he convinces Carlisle to take them on vacation to see his hometown. But what happens when a hunting incident causes the impossible...?

Bella POV
"Bella, are you ready?" Edward called from downstairs. I sighed. We were going to the theatre to see the musical Chicago. I quickly hooked the solitaire diamond necklace around my neck, grabbed my tiny clutch purse and went downstairs to meet my husband and daughter. His jaw nearly hit the floor as he took in what I was wearing. The theatre was one place where I thought Alice's clothing choices were justified. I found a dress that I thought would suit me well. It was a v-neck dress that reached halfway down my calf. It was just a tiny bit brighter than midnight blue. i had kept my hair down, satisfied with its look. I was glad he thought I looked nice. In an odd way, it was comforting.
"You look beautiful, darling." he said, smiling his adorable crooked grin.
"Shall we?" I asked and put my arm out.
"We shall." He said, linking my arm with his. And we headed out for a night of theatre.
Edward POV
I felt my excitement grow as we entered the performing arts center. I had always loved piano, but seeing theatre was up on my list, too. Chicago was, in my opinion, one of the best broadway musicals of all time. I sat down just as the lights dimmed.
I felt a small twinge of sadness as the actors began to sing Mr.Cellophane. It made me miss my human home in Chicago. I recognized that I was home sick, but I didn't want to tell Bella just yet, not until I was sure of how bad it was.
It was very bad. by the end of the show my heart was dying to go home. I remembered the size of my home well, as Carlisle and I stayed for a while when I was a newborn. It could hold us all, even if Jacob had wanted to come. I shoved the thought out of my head and fought back the urge to shudder. I decided to go talk to Carlisle. When we arrived home, Renesmee flew into Bella's arms.
"I missed you momma." she said into Bellas shoulder. Bella laughed quietly.
"I missed you too, Nessie." Renesmee then took her arms off of Bella and reached out to me. I took her happily and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"I love you daddy." she said in a small voice.
"I love you too, sweetheart." I said. Before long, Renesmee had fallen asleep in my lap. We tucked her into her crib together. Bella headed toward our bedroom before stopping.
"Are you coming?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"In a minute." I said, "I wanted to ask Carlisle something."
She eyed me speculatively for a moment before saying "OK" and walking back to the bedroom. I sighed and went out of our small cottage. I came into the house to find Emmett and Jasper wrestling on the carpet. I rolled my eyes and continued upstairs to my father's office.
"Come in." he said, hearing my footsteps. I took in a deep breath and walked inside.

But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees.
Now give me money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want), yeah
That's what I want
--lyric from "Money (That's What I Want)" by Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford
Detroit-- and by that we mean America's Big 3 automakers, GM, Ford and Chrysler-- may be hoping like crazy that it can soon drive right up to the federal feeding trough (gold-plated so recently by Wall Street bankers to the tune of $700 billion!), but there's no guarantee it will get its fill. And it's very likely that even if the Big Three do fill up, the sustenance won't come without plenty of unappetizing strings attached.
Certainly, it is hard to imagine that anyone in trucking would not want Detroit to get whatever assistance it needs to stay afloat. For starters, a hell of a lot of trucking frieght is automotive-based. On top of that, the vehicle and equipment suppliers to trucking that are not owned by the Big Three are interlinked with them in some way or another.
And then there's that chilling stat underscoring Detroit's economic footprint that keeps popping up in the media lately: one in ten jobs in the country is affected by the domestic auto industry, at least according to Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm (D).
Workers arriving at Ford's River Rouge plant, circa 1944
The Big Three must be cheered at least a bit by at last having their plight break onto the front pages as it were-- and especially by hearing that influential voices are starting to speak up in favor of some sort of federal bailout or rescue (take your pick).
For example, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has indicated its support for Detroit via a letter penned by R. Bruce Josten, executive vp of government affairs, and sent both to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed Chief Ben Bernanke.
Josten argues that "The current economic environment requires immediate government action to restore liquidity so that the U.S. auto industry is able to function, meet consumer demand, and develop new energy saving technologies."
He goes on to say the Chamber believes powers granted to Paulson and Bernanke by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA)-- a.k.a the Wall Street bailout package-- will allow them to take actions that will "support the distressed auto industry which is so essential to the U.S. economy."
We can all be rightfully indignant at the Big Three for having screwed up so immensely-- thoroughly ceding the incredibly massive competitive advantages they once held on these shores to foreign-based (and now laregly Americanized) automakers, but I simply do not see how we as a nation can stand idly by and let this essential industry collapse to the point that so many jobs will be lost... not to mention risking manufacturing production capacity that can be viewed as essential to our national security.

I'd go restomod ,or protour or what ever they call it. See the prices these cars are demanding? Hang what you have on the car and go from there. Honestly if a car's more" Classic Industries" than GM---also what's wrong with putting 2 buckets ,a cage and a crate BBC in and take mama drag racing? More fun turning a 10 than watching the grass grow anyway! Bottom line I wouldn't obsess so much what it might be worth--priority is body ,anything else are just bolt ons. Stay warm!!
Kolektor. #1. Are these early or late stamped NOS? It makes a difference. Even early stamped is no guarantee. Best bet is usually assembly line take offs even if they need work. You have the NOS fenders so mock those up. If they align very well, need no mods for a factory fit, and the edge and radii crispness are nice, those may be the good choice. How much labor do you think you'll be giving a shop to make those 4 repro fenders fit if you sell one NOS fender, providing that NOS fender fits well? You say you are particular so be prepared to pay. What gaps do you want? Factory or better? You are paying a shop, so all labor to make an imperfect panel fit is T&M. Even the best fitting GM panel is extra T&M if you want show gaps. Repro panel production varies and what's successful for one job or productiuon run may not be for another. Nobody I know makes a really nice quality, good fitting repro decklid; they run narrow. Find an original otherwise its back to T&M. Show gaps on decklids whether GM or not will require work. A shop is not going to know what labor is required to meet your objectives until they hang a panel on the car.Stick to comparing Camaro sheetmental parts and dismiss all other makes and models; what applies to those has little to do with these. Your bodyshop should know all this. If they do not start looking for another one.
Since money doesn't sound to tight, and the repro fenders sound like an option: get the repro fenders, and the good originals and fit what you have if you can make them work, run them. If your repro supplier is close by, return it and say it didn't fit close enough. I have bought items that were in stock from good mark, if it didn't fit close enough, (sometimes way off) I had no issue with returning them. I test fit everything NOS, Original, and repro, because 40 years has gone by, and it seems some stuff fits spot on, other stuff even NOS stuff can be off. I bought a "NOS" fender for my 64 C/10, it was the worst fitting piece I had between the 3. The repro fit better, original was a close second,( the original was a bit rough, remember were talking truck). Just want you take the easy road, instead of trying to wrestle with stuff that may fit someone else's ride much better. One other thing Camaros are not Ferrari's that were assembled by hand, and the fitment from the factory was not precise, like we expect at cars shows today. GM kicked 10s of thousands of cars out the factory doors every week, panel fit was a "its good enough" its within the margin of error type of thing. Today with our own cars we tend to be more picky and want all the gaps to be spot on, when a lot of parts have even more variance we are looking for the opposite. Just something to keep in mind when test fitting, is all.
"Stick to comparing Camaro sheetmental parts and dismiss all other makes and models; what applies to those has little to do with these. Your bodyshop should know all this. If they do not start looking for another one."While I agree you want to go to a body shop that likes consistent panel fitment, I don't see a quality shop taking a customers 69 Camaro and saying "well this is a 69 Camaro we have to really make the car fit together good now", that would be suspect to me. My 69 Camaro hasn't been apart since it left the assembly line, and I can tell you first hand even with all the assembly line parts it is doesn't look as nice as some of the "show" cars I have seen. From the few different makes and models I have, the reproduction Vs. original Vs. NOS is the same across the line for panel fitment. The Camaro isn't exclusive in that category.

Treasuries rose for the first time in four days as the backup in yields raised the allure of the $21 billion in 10-year notes to be sold today at auction.
Yields on the benchmark securities had climbed to a four- week high of 2.66 percent, compared with a yield of 2.61 percent at the last sale of the maturity on May 7. Traders are willing to pay to borrow the notes in the repurchase-agreement market in exchange for lending cash overnight for the most actively traded 10-year maturity, with rates opening today at negative 2.90 percent, according to data from ICAP Plc tracked by Bloomberg.
"Our market got a bit overdone on the downside," said Brian Edmonds, head of interest-rates trading in New York at the primary dealer Cantor Fitzgerald LP. "Globally, yields are not rising, so there's no reason for us to follow suit. There's plenty of demand out there."
The 10-year note maturing in May 2024 yielded 2.62 percent, down two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, at 11:13 a.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The price of the 2.5 percent notes rose 6/32, or $1.88 per $1,000 face value, to 98 30/32. The 2.66 percent yield was the highest since May 12.
The 10-year notes being sold today yielded 2.64 percent in pre-auction trading. Investors at the previous 10-year auction in May bid for 2.63 times the amount of debt available, down from 2.76 times on April 9.
Extra yield
Demand for Treasuries was supported as the extra yield that benchmark 10-year notes offer over their G-7 counterparts was at 69 basis points, after rising to 71 basis points yesterday, the most since April 2010. Yields on bonds in Europe dropped last week after European Central Bank policy makers unveiled an unprecedented stimulus package.
"People are playing the market from a defensive stance and buying Treasuries," said Ian Lyngen, a government-bond strategist at CRT Capital Group LLC in Stamford, Connecticut. "Ten-year yields got as high as 2.66 percent -- that might have brought in sidelined investors looking to take advantage of higher yields."
Treasuries returned 2.6 percent this year, according to the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index. The Bloomberg Global Developed Sovereign Bond Index has returned 3.7 percent this year, compared with a loss of 4.6 percent in 2013.

Govt must turn over info on CIA prisons to defense
FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — Prosecutors must turn over never-revealed details about the time a Guantanamo Bay detainee spent in secret CIA prisons after his arrest in connection with the deadly attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, according to a military judge's order released Tuesday.
The five-page order was a victory for defense lawyers representing Abd al Rahim al-Nashiri, accused of orchestrating the Oct. 12, 2000, bombing of the USS Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden. The attack killed 17 U.S. sailors, injured 42 others and tore a massive hole into the side of the guided-missile destroyer based in Norfolk, Va.
Al-Nashiri, who was born in Saudi Arabia, has been held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2006, after being held in a series of secret CIA prisons.

U.S. prosecutors must turn over never-revealed details about the time a Guantanamo Bay detainee spent in secret CIA prisons after his arrest in connection with the deadly attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, according to a military judge's order released Tuesday, April 22, 2014.

A CIA inspector general's report said al-Nashiri, considered to have once been one of the most senior leaders in al-Qaida, was waterboarded under rules approved by the George W. Bush administration, although many of them have been repudiated as torture. He also was threatened with a gun and a power drill to solicit information about possible attacks against the United States, but those methods were beyond approved interrogation procedures.
Prosecutors, who can appeal the judge's ruling, had argued that information about his time spent in CIA custody was irrelevant to the case. The defense believes the case against al-Nashiri is tainted by CIA actions in the secret prisons and could be used to spare him from the death penalty.
Little information about what happened in the CIA black sites has been confirmed by the government. The order by Army Col. James Pohl does not make any details available to the public. He notes explicitly in his order that all parties in the case are required to follow a protective order barring release of classified information in the case.
The judge said the government must provide details of al-Nashiri's capture, detention, rendition and interrogation. The information the judge ordered the government to reveal includes a chronology of how al-Nashiri was shuttled among secret CIA black sites, and how he was transported, clothed and restrained. The government also must provide reports, summaries of interrogations and any photos or videos documenting the conditions of his confinement.
Prosecutors are barred under the rules for military commissions from using any evidence or testimony obtained by coercion. The defense, however, has argued that all information from al-Nashiri is tainted by the harsh treatment he endured at the hands of the CIA.
The defendant, wearing in white prison clothes, sat at the defense table for much of the daylong session. At times, he leaned back in his swivel desk chair and rocked from side to side. At other times, his eyelids drooped and he appeared bored by the lengthy legal arguments that droned on in an effort to resolve issues about the death penalty, witnesses and evidence.
His trial is not slated to begin until December. The hearing on a long list of pretrial motions was held Tuesday at Guantanamo but reporters were able to watch it from Fort Meade.
Defense lawyer Richard Kammen renewed his bid to get the judge to remove himself from the case, arguing that Pohl was assigned to the case by the convening authority that is prosecuting his client.
The prosecution claimed Kammen's motion was simply a way to denounce the overall military process for trying Guantanamo detainees, and that there was no evidence to suggest any appearance of impropriety by the judge.
The judge denied the motion.

For this project you'll need a Sweet Honey Bun, Layer Cake, 3/8 yard of pink Bella solid, 3/8 yard green Bella solid and 1 yard of the Sweet border of your choice.
Make a minimum of 16 strip sets. Vary the placement of lights and darks as this will make your blocks more interesting.
Cut each strip set into 1 1/2 inch segments. You will need a total of 200 segments.
From your Sweet Layer Cake, cut (49) 4 1/2 inch squares. (I cut 2 from each of the 40 layer cake pieces so that I would have plenty of choices when I laid out my blocks.)
This is where I suggest the line method, so you will have nice points that match up with your patchwork blocks. Unlike mine, which match up, some of the time.
For this quilt you will need 31 snowball blocks, 50 patched blocks and 18 half snowball blocks.
This quilt would be called Sweet Not So Secret Stars had I reversed the green and pink, the green is a higher contrast and would show off more. But I like the subtle nature of the pink.. so there you go. You can decide for yourself which you like best. You could use your squares plain and it would be just as Sweet!
Fresh from the garden
Stitch your segments into units of 4. This is where you'll thank me for suggesting you press those strips in one direction. You will need 50 blocks.

You may recall the test subjects of drug trial TGN1412 who were left seriously maimed moments after taking the experimental drug.
TGN1412 Trial Like "Russian Roulette"
Do you see the man to the right? The one who looks like the evilest German scientist to ever stumble in blood-smeared scrubs out of a Nazi laboratory? Gaze carefully upon the ominous shadowing falling upon his cadaverous features, the inhuman leer. Yes, readers, you are looking upon the horrible visage of none other than Dr. Thomas Hanke, Chief Scientific Officer of TeGenero, whose drug TGN1412 had six men in trials tearing at their skin and screaming.

I'm in the process of updating my system. Have been using Mythdora prior, so new to Mythbuntu. I installed mythbuntu 12.04.2 desktop amd64 and let it update during the install. The default path for videos is /var/lib/mythtv/videos from what I can see in the backend setup. I SFTP'd a mp4 file to this directory. I then try to scan for videos. About 20s later a message pops up "The video scan found no files, have you configured a video storage group?". I know the video storage group is set to /var/lib/mythtv/videos so it appears I have. I uploaded the file using the account user/pass I created during the mythbuntu install. I see other posts about ubuntu permission issues so tried a:
sudo chown mythtv file.mp4
and then rescan w/o success. When I go into the filters the text filter section is blank. I tried * + save ... this option didn't help on the rescan. Sometimes the front end will crash while trying to scan as well. Any ideas? Thanks,
