WEBER COLLEGE THE WEATHER It's been pretty wet, hasn't it? T SIGNPOS VOL. XX OGDEN, UTAH NO. 16 MAY 24, 1957 For a complete rundown on the new Technical Building, turn to the inside pages of this issue. This material was compiled under the capable hands of former Editor Bob Grondel. I . t La i V r- ) t t i i:. at With a familiar sn.ile, Gordon Watts looks on while Diane Gall is measured for her cap and gown. The cap and gown, long a traditional costume for the graduate, will be worn at the commencement exercises held on June 1st. fey, m arret son Speaks The Reverend A. Cadman Garretson, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Ogden, will deliver the sermon at the Weber College Baccalaureate Services Sunday, May 26, at 8 a. m., in the Moench Auditorium. Music for the program will be furnished by the Musettes, with J. Clair Anderson directing; the Brass Ensemble; and the Voce Coeds, Glenn L. Hanson directing. Mr. Anderson will play the organ prelude and post-lude. Robert J. DeLange and Eva U. Specter will offer the invocation and benediction, re spectively. Rev. Garretson has been pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, 28th St. and Quincy Ave., since August of 1950. Since that time the church membership has doubled. With a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hanover College, Hanover, 111., he took three years of graduate work at McCormack Theological Seminary in Chicago. He did ministerial work in Bridgeport and Salem, Illinois, prior to his Ogden work. All To Heck Even the Signpost makes mistakes. This was proved last issue with much finesse. A letter of hot content rests in 'he editor's desk demanding the correction of the error contained in the story about Sadie Hawkins day which was run last issue. The red faced editor will concede and further state that Carolyn Wilburg who won the milkmaid contest was definitely not a member of Sharmea but was affiliated with Chanodo. That such an error was made is a disgrace to mankind! In sum-ni'iry the editor would like to con-Vey many apologies for this fiasco. The Editor. The Awards assembly held yesterday made apparent the outstanding type of people that attend Weber College. Many awards were given to both individuals and groups. These honors are won by diligent work on the part of the student or organization in the respective fields. Probably the most coveted award for a group was the assembly trophy. This trophy is given to the club or organization which presents the best assembly of the year. The judging is very stiff and those winning deserved the honor. In the men's division, Excelsior took the honors-, and in the women's the Swabbies of LaDianaeda were the victors. There is much rivalry in this contest and a great deal of work went into all of the assemblies this year. Another high point of the program was the award given to the two students who had maintained a straight 4. grade average for the two years they had attended the College. These people were Janet Richards and Robert Johnson. The Exceptional Service Awards were given to Joen England and Warren Buss. This award is given on a basis of scholarship, leadership, participation in school activities, character and personality. The outstanding Sophomore Award which was a sweater was given to the following: Warren Buss, Joen England, Connie Garr, Georgia Hohlios, David Jacobs, John Lange, Robert Marriott, Or-lene Mayberry, Deniese McGahan, Donna Miller, Karen Poulter, An-! nette Ray, Barbara Slater, Kay Stanfield and Patsy S. Van De Graff. Only the Beginning H riiil ti 11 Oil wii On the evening of Saturday, June 1st, the Weber College Sixty-ninth Commencement services will be held, where graduates will receive Associate of Science, and Associate of Arts degrees, or Certificates of Completion. This milestone has been reached by diligent work in completing the requirements for the different degrees. The program will begin at 8:00 p. m. in the Ogden Tabernacle. The Ogden-Weber College Symphony orchestra playing as the processional "March of the Meis-tersingers," by R. Wagner, J. Clair Anderson will act as organist, and Max F. Dalby directs the group. The invocation will be given by Alan Robert Johnson. The Ogden-Weber College Symphonic Choir and the Weber College Modern Choir will then perform, "I am an American," by Dragon. Narrator for the number will be Paul Tullis and the director is Glenn L. Hanson. "Education, the path of Opportunity," will be the subject taken by speakers Joen A. England and Warren R. Buss, both student body officers for the past year. The Symphony Orchestra will then perform the number, "Toccata," by Frescobaldi. This will be followed by the Address to Graduates from the Hon. Henry Aldous Dixon of the United States Congress. Congressman Dixon was the former President of Weber College. He will be followed by President William P. Miller, who will introduce the graduating class. Charles A. White of the State Board of Education will present the diplomas. A combination of the Svmnhonv Orchestra, the Choirs and the organ will then perform "Omnipotence," by Franz Schubert. The solo work for this number will be done by Miss Kay Stanfield, Glenn L. Hanson will direct. The Benediction will be given by Janet Maude Richards, after which the school song, "Purple and White" will be sung by the chorus and the congregation. Amnesty Day At Library It has been announced by Mrs. Wilma Gross, Head Librarian, that the 27th of May will be a day of amnesty to all students holding overdue books. Anyone having these books will be exempt from paying the fine on that day. This new policy is being experimented with as a means of getting all overdue books back on the shelves before the spring quarter ends. Students of the summer school need to have access to these books. If the policy succeeds in its ability to get books into the library there will be such a day set aside at the end of each quarter when fines will not have to be paid. So if you are short of cash as nearly everyone is at this time of year don't forget to return the Library's overdue books on Monday, May 27. 'P' Men Hold Last EGAD! LOOK OUT! Here come the "Sisters" out of their Club meeting with tickets for one of the final activities of the year, LAST CHANCE DANCE or PRINT SPRINT. Odd, you think? You should have seen some of the titles suggested, Print Prance, Suddenly It's Spring, Phoenix Phootwhear, "Sistcfrs' " Social, and a few other unmentionables. There were so many superior titles that even though the Club whittled and whittled, they couldn't ' get it down to any less than two names. They thought, these two titles went together. The date is May 24th, and will be held immediately after the President's Tea that night, about 9 P. M. The Dance, according , to Steve Mecham, who was elected next year's President, has- an air of unusualness and individuality. Many factors decorations, band, etc. will be a unique "surprise," No one will know about it until that night. Could be the plans haven t been completed yet fio Change Yet The naming contest for the "Signpost" has run into trouble. The shortage of time in Spring Quarter has prevented completion of the intended name change. Editor Malin Foster said a survey would be taken, Fall Quarter of next year to determine a suitable name out of three or four rated highest by a selecting council instituted last spring. Members on the committee were President William P. Miller, administration; Robert S. Mikkelsen, faculty; George-Handy, Alumni; Kent Ellis and Kay Stanfield, Sophomore Class officers; Bill Hudson and Sandy Weaver, Freshmen Officers; Editorial Staff of the Standard Examiner, professional and Robert Grondel, "Signpost" editor. Advantages and disadvantages will be publicized next rear to lnlorm the Freshmen Class of The tickets are only $1, and can : what is happening, before the poll be purchased from any member of is taken. The "Signpost" extends Phoenix. So don't be tight get a I its thanks to the studentbody mak-date and come. ' ing the contest a success thus far.

|Weber College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

All About: Farmhouse Kitchen Sinks
Sink Spotlight
If I told you that a sink had the power to evoke feelings of nostalgia, would you believe me? Take the test: what comes to mind when you view the sinks above? Without even trying I think about country cottages, cozy words like home and hearth, and hearty, soul-warming meals for a family of six. (See what I mean?) Behold the power of the farmhouse sink!
Farmhouse sinks—also known as apron front sinks—have become an increasingly popular sink option in recent years for both traditional and contemporary style kitchens. The classic design (deep basin, a wide "apron"-like panel that juts out slightly from the surrounding cabinetry) recalls a time when the sink was an essential part of daily life, whether scrubbing pots, cleaning clothes, even washing children! (Even now I'm likely to believe a farmhouse sink kitchen pours out warmth and sustenance upon all men, women, children, and animals within a 25-mile radius.)
The farmhouse sink is meant to be a dramatic focal point, a sturdy workhorse for the avid cook. It's large enough to accommodate stock pots and baking sheets, deep enough to reduce splashing and spills, and easier to work with. (The forward orientation means less physical stress and strain than with drop-in or undermount sinks.) Traditional farmhouse sinks do not include holes for the faucets to be fitted into; rather, faucets are installed through the cabinetry or on the wall. If the sink is damaged and needs to be replaced, it's simply disconnected from the drainpipe, lifted out, and another sink lowered in. No need to shut off the water!
Because of the unique structure of farmhouse sinks, they typically only work with custom-built cabinetry and countertops, although newer options like this self-trimming apron-front sink from Kohler can be installed without replacing the existing cabinetry. Enameled cast iron, white porcelain, and fireclay remain the most popular material choices, but stainless steel and copper are also options.
Do you have a farmhouse sink? What material did you get? How do you like it?

I've admired the look for years, and we just put in the Ikea one--I'm already swooning over it. Even though it's still only a 24" sink, same as we had before, it feels SO much bigger. Haven't really gotten to use it much yet, though, as the kitchen's still in process so not yet very workable. My only concern is that I'd gotten used to having an undermount sink where I could wipe straight off the counter into the sink, and the Ikea one doesn't install that way (although I notice the ones in your last 3 photos do)....so we'll see. Still love the look though! : )
I've been seeing these pop up so much more lately and I LOVE it. Definitely the sink I would get in my dreamhouse (though I am not too sure about that stainless steel one :/ ).
ooohhhh... They are so beautiful... I like the execution of the last sink, the way the counter overlaps just a tad... very practical. I'm not sure you could get the same delicate edge with stone :-/
I love love farmhouse sinks. Would LOVE to have one in my kitchen.
we didn't want to put in new cabinets to allow for a farmhouse sink, but when we upgraded our countertops, I had this sink put in: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Vigo-Undermount-Stainless-Steel-Kitchen-Sink-and-Faucet/4734245/product.html
I LOVE IT!!! having a huge, deep sink has made my life in the kitchen soooo much easier! If you like to get down and really cook in your kitchen, it's just incredible. I love the faucet too...so versatile!
We love our farmhouse sink. It's beautiful and timeless, yes, but it's more practical and user-friendly than I would have imagined.
The resuse of this term confuses me a bit, when I see the words farmhouse sink, I think of a porcelained cast iron wall hung sinks from the 1930s and older, ya know 6-12" backsplash, apron front, incorporated drainboard on one or both sides, 4-6 foot long suckers. These new sinks just seem like modern undermounts with aprons.
Yes, but "undermount with apron" doesn't sound like something you can charge extra for.
The photographs accompanying this post are not working in the service of the apron-front sink. Sure, each one fits a particular bland publishing convention that's immediately recognizable:
1. Cheaply-built and oversized suburban house, i.e. a catalog from a window manufacturer or solid-surface counter retailer.
2. Stock photo from the Times' real estate section of a badly-decorated yet still absurdly expensive UES apartment (potential title: "City Living, Country Elegance.")
3. Page 29 of the Summer 2008 Williams-Sonoma catalog? A) 3.5-Quart Stainless Colander, $24.95 (Exclusive) B) Presidio Kitchen Towels, Set of Four, 100% Cottton, Made in Portugal, $19.95 (Exclusive) C) Bleeker Foaming Soap Dispenser, $13.95.
4. It's stamped Elle Decor in the corner, so ostensibly it's of someone's home, plus the stylist's rampage of lemons, limes, strawberries, and compotes. Otherwise it's some poor homeowner's attempt to squeeze the brand devotion of photo 3 into the usable space of photo 2.
5. An IKEA catalog (which stole photo 3's espresso machine).
Anyway! The apron-front sink doesn't really look good or even helpful in any of these pictures. It looks like a design warhouse signifying an imaginary past, pulled out of retirement to add "a sense of timelessness and old-world charm" to generic kitchens. There's no context, and no utility.
Dear Ferforge,
I would love to see what YOUR kitchen looks like after you've so readily bashed all of these designs. It's called staging, no one wants to see dirty dishes in the sink and crumbs on the counter.
We're looking into a new sink because the house we moved into has a pitiful sink and I'm constantly splashing water everywhere or leaving dishes on the counter because it's not big enough. I love the apron front sink style and stainless would probably be our material of choice.

Motorists Will See A Lot Of Gray During Labor Day Holiday Period
Date of Release: 09/01/05
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) --- The Kentucky State Police plan to maintain a high visibility on roadways throughout the state during the upcoming Labor Day holiday. According to KSP Commissioner Mark Miller, the bulk of the agency's 939 troopers will be assigned to traffic patrol duty during this time period, which begins at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 2 and runs through 11:59 p.m. on Monday Sept. 5.
"Last year, there were 13 crashes that resulted in 18 fatalities in Kentucky during the Labor Day period," notes Miller. "One of those crashes involved alcohol and 13 of the victims were not using seat belts. There was one triple fatality crash and three double fatality crashes."
As of August 28, a total of 590 people have been killed on Kentucky's roadways this year. That's 28 less than last year at this time. "While this decrease is encouraging, we still lose far too many lives on the highways," says Miller. " Many of these deaths are avoidable."
As part of the "You Drink & Drive. You Lose" national traffic enforcement campaign, KSP troopers will be maximizing their efforts to save lives by arresting impaired drivers, ticketing speeders and encouraging the use of seat belts. In addition to boosting manpower, KSP troopers will be conducting saturation patrols, safety checkpoints and coordinating efforts with local law enforcement agencies.
"It's simple," says Miller. "We will continue to follow a zero tolerance policy. Enforcement will be strict. If you drive impaired, you will be arrested. If you disobey posted speed limits or fail to use seat belts, you will be cited, which will cost you money. The choice is up to you. Our main goal is to save lives."
Last year, KSP made 254 arrests for impaired driving, issued 2,669 speeding citations and cited 68 drivers for child restraint violations during the Labor Day holiday period.
KSP will also be directing extra attention to interstate highways, parkways, roadways and arteries leading to boat ramps and waterways during the holiday as part of Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort). To boost their visibility, KSP troopers will be using daytime running lights on their vehicles during the enforcement period.
Motorists should also remember that Kentucky law requires them to slow down and use caution when they see a law enforcement or emergency vehicle stopped alongside the road with its lights flashing. They must move over to the lane farthest away from the vehicle if they are on a two-lane road and can do so safely.
According to Lt. Col. Dean Hayes, KSP Director of Operations, there are several ways to increase your safety on the highways during the holiday:
According to Kentucky law, all children 40 inches in height or less, must be buckled into a child safety restraint seat that meets federal standards. Children over 40 inches tall must wear a seat belt. Violation of this law will result in a $50.00 fine with an additional $10.00 fine donated to the Traumatic Brain Injury Trust Fund.
Motorists should also be aware that the back seat is the safest place for children to sit, especially in vehicles equipped with passenger-side air bags. Infants and toddlers should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger-side air bag. Parents should always be sure that their child's safety seat has been properly installed in the vehicle according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Kentucky law makes the driver responsible for assuring that all occupants of the vehicle are properly restrained. Violation of this law will result in a fine not to exceed $25.00.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety during the holiday period by reporting impaired or erratic drivers to the KSP toll-free hotline at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should provide a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
"By following this simple advice, we can all contribute to highway safety," says Miller. "Protecting yourself, your children and your passengers is your responsibility and it's law enforcement's duty."

Washington, D.C., June 22, 2010 – Long-awaited regulations granting the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) full authority to effectively regulate the manufacturing, marketing and sales of tobacco products to youth go in effect today. The American Public Health Association (APHA) recognizes the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act as a long overdue yet critical component to preventing disease and promoting the health of children in communities across the country.
"Today represents the culmination of more than a decade-long battle to stop Big Tobacco in its tracks from recruiting and addicting the next generation of tobacco users," said Georges C. Benjamin, MD, FACP, FACEP, (E), executive director of APHA. "Implementing this important law is a true turning point in the pursuit to protect the health of our children and nation."
Below is a list of regulations to be implemented:
APHA commends Congress and the president for their leadership in making the historic legislation a reality. APHA advocated strongly in support of the monumental legislation, stands ready to help the FDA implement this lifesaving law to its fullest extent and will continue to advocate for strong tobacco control policy.
Today marks the first anniversary of the law's enactment when it was signed into law by the president on June 22, 2009.
For more about APHA, visit www.apha.org.
Founded in 1872, the APHA is the oldest, largest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world. The association aims to protect all Americans and their communities from preventable, serious health threats and strives to assure community-based health promotion and disease prevention activities and preventive health services are universally accessible in the United States. APHA represents a broad array of health providers, educators, environmentalists, policy-makers and health officials at all levels working both within and outside governmental organizations and educational institutions.

MTV has renewed Awkward for Season 4 and named Chris Alberghini and Mike Chessler as the new showrunners. The second half of Awkward's third season will premiere in October and Season 4 will launch in 2014, the network announced Monday.
With a new year comes a fresh set of challenges for some of TV's biggest names, shows and networks. Here are some developments we'll be watching closely.
Susanne Daniels, MTV's just-hired president of programming, joins a channel that has seen its primetime ratings slide 31 percent this season. New series like Teen Wolf and Awkward have high viewership and buzz, but MTV is about to lose its signature hit, Jersey Shore. Daniels, who developed faves like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Felicity at The WB and later helped reinvent Lifetime, will now lead the charge to develop MTV's next generation of shows.read more

A hydrocele occurs from an accumulation of fluid in the tunica vaginalis (a thin pouch that holds the testes within the scrotum).
In the fetus, the tunica vaginalis is formed in the abdomen and then moves into the scrotum with the testes. After the pouch is in the testes, it seals off from the abdomen. Hydroceles can be communicating or noncommunicating:
Communicating hydrocele. A communicating hydrocele occurs from the incomplete closure of the tunica vaginalis, so that a small amount of abdominal fluid may flow in and out of the thin pouch. It is distinctive because the fluid fluctuates throughout the day and night, altering the size of the mass.
Noncommunicating hydrocele. A noncommunicating hydrocele may be present at birth and usually resolves on its own spontaneously within one year. A noncommunicating hydrocele in an older child may indicate other problems, such as infection, torsion (twisting of the testes), or a tumor. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
A hydrocele is present in as many as 10 percent of all full-term male live births; however, in most cases, it disappears without treatment within the first year.
The following are the most common symptoms of hydrocele. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include the following:
A mass or swelling that is usually smooth and not tender. The swelling is generally painless and pain is a reason to contact your medical provider immediately.
A communicating hydrocele will fluctuate in size, getting smaller at night while lying flat, and increasing in size during more active periods.
If the hydrocele is large and tense, it may require more immediate attention.
The symptoms of a hydrocele may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis of a hydrocele is usually made by a physical examination and a complete medical history. Your child's doctor may need to determine if the mass is a hydrocele or an inguinal hernia (a weakened area in the lower abdominal wall or inguinal canal where intestines may protrude).
Transillumination (the passage of a strong light through a body structure to permit inspection on the opposite side) of the scrotum can differentiate a hernia from a hydrocele.
A noncommunicating hydrocele usually resolves spontaneously by the time the child reaches his first birthday. Resolution occurs as the fluid is reabsorbed from the pouch.
A hydrocele that persists longer than 12 to 18 months is usually a communicating hydrocele. A communicating hydrocele usually requires surgical repair to prevent an inguinal hernia from occurring. The surgery involves making a small incision in the groin or inguinal area and then draining the fluid and closing off the opening to the tunica vaginalis.

They look sporty and usually ooze style, but which three-wheel pushchairs are the real off-road/on-pavement deal?
Phil & Ted's Sport
Phil & Ted's three-wheelers are that rare combination of stylish and functional: you can take it off-road without fear and won't look out of place with it while you're sipping your skinny latte. The Sport has a jogging strap, but no hand brake, which would be useful for joggers and serious off-roaders. Steering is smooth, even one-handed on even terrain: use the swivel front wheel for extra manoeuvrability here. For more strenuous country walks, fix the front wheel to prevent the buggy going everywhere.
The height-adjustable handle is nicely cushioned so you won't feel the lumps and bumps from rocky ground – and very useful if your partner is significantly taller (or shorter) than you. The seat is easily adjusted from totally flat for a newborn to upright for a toddler, with two extra positions between. Folding the buggy is simple, and the quick-release wheels mean it's a doddle to get it completely flat for easy storage (leave the wheels on and it will stand upright when folded). With the optional car seat adaptor kit, you can even use this as a travel system.
What really sets Phil & Ted's apart from other three-wheelers is the Doubles Kit, which clicks simply underneath the seat to convert your single into a double when your second child comes along. I always think this baby seat looks a little low, but owners have convinced me over the years that their baby is perfectly happy in this 'hammock' and have emerged untraumatised from the experience. It's certainly a less bulky, and cheaper, option than buying a whole new double buggy when the time comes.
The ThinkBaby verdict
Jané Slalom Pro
The only model tested to offer a handbrake, this is a real plus for regular joggers, but the source of much anguish for me. I was dreading putting this together, as an earlier model I tested a few years ago was a real pain when it came to attaching and detaching the front wheel, complete with disc brake. Fortunately, Jané has clearly listened to feedback and improved this feature beyond recognition. All in all, this is much improved, and an eminently usable buggy.
All three wheels go on and come off with ease, and the oversized tubular aluminium frame may look chunky but is very light – and very strong. Parents will be glad of the height-adjustable soft-grip handles, the handbrake to slow you down on hills, two suspension settings on the rear wheels, and the roomy basket underneath. Your baby, if he could talk, would undoubtedly wax lyrical about how comfortable and safe he feels, with the multi-position seat that offers good lumbar support and plenty of width, along with the adjustable legrest, padded bumper bar and armrests and the capacious hood to protect him from the elements. He would probably also appreciate a raincover given the vagaries of the British weather, but Mum and Dad will have to fork out extra for that, along with any other extras, which given the price does seem a little stingy.
The seat fabrics are removable and washable, but do be careful which you choose as some of the colour combinations are a little loud – the covers are reversible, however, so you can change according to your mood (or if something has been spilt on the other side). Folding is a simple operation and although this seems big when open, it's remarkably compact when folded, especially with the wheels off, so fitting it in the boot shouldn't pose too many problems.
Hauck Roadster SL
Knowing the price of this compared to all the others tested, I was immediately on the lookout for areas where corners might have been cut to keep the price down. There are a few obvious ones, such as the lack of viewing window or pocket in the hood, and the fact that a pump and raincover are not supplied as standard. The fabric also lacks the quality of the others tested (but it is machine washable so you can keep it looking fresh and clean.
That said, there are plenty of useful features on this buggy, from the height-adjustable handle and deep, capacious basket to the detachable bumper with cup holder which proved highly exciting for my friend's baby Sasha, who pulled herself up and grabbed her milk with glee. Generally, this buggy is easy to put together, and a doddle to fold and open. It doesn't fold quite as flat as some of the other models, but is at least freestanding when folded and has a catch to lock it shut. Reclining the seat using the strap at the back also worked well and the lie-flat position is ideal for a newborn.
Pushing the buggy around, you can feel the difference; it just doesn't feel as sturdy. In fixed mode the front wheel moved around a lot and didn't noticeably improve the steering over bumpy grass in the local park. It also struck me as slightly odd that the front wheel is smaller than the other two – if you really want to go off-road, a bigger, fully fixable wheel is what you need. It's not a bad-looking buggy if you like the colours available, but it lacks the air of sophistication offered by some of the others.
Air Buggy Mimi
New to the UK market (apparently it's already big in Japan), this isn't wildly different to many of the other three-wheelers already available, but it does offer some nice touches. As someone who hates shelling out loads of money, then having to shell out even more just to make something usable, I love the fact that this comes with everything you need, right down to the insulated bottle holder that attaches to the side of the buggy. Only if you want to convert this to a travel system do you need to buy a car seat adaptor kit (and the appropriate car seat of course).
As well as being well kitted out, this is a good-looking buggy. We tested the red, a deep, almost burgundy colour, but if that's not your thing there are plenty of others to choose from. You can choose from either a silver or a black aluminium frame, which is light and strong and nicely streamlined. The seat is well padded and the fabric seems durable. Reclining is done via a series of zips in the side, which means there are only three possible positions, the most upright of which is still quite reclined, but it does lie flat enough for a newborn. The legrest isn't adjustable, and may prove awkward for a taller toddler. The hood offers viewing windows in the top and the side and mesh for increased ventilation. The buckles take a bit of getting used to but are actually quite clever when you know how! It's easy to fold and the wheels are easy to remove to make it even more compact, and it's quite light and portable – a Velcro strap keeps it together when folded.
So far, so good. However, this has two major drawbacks: the handle is not height adjustable, the only one we tested that isn't, surprisingly, and the front wheel cannot be locked, which makes it unsuitable for serious off-road use (not to mention rendering the supplied jogging strap redundant). We took it to the local park and found the steering OK, but would hesitate to take it anywhere too rough. On the pavement, the steering is great, so this is very much an urban three-wheeler and a pretty good one at that.
Mountain Buggy Urban
The Urban has been designed for townies who like to go off-road, rather than for serious all-terrain use (if that's what you want, Mountain Buggy's Terrain may be a better choice). From the moment you take this out of the box you just know it's going to do what you want: the wheels are simple to fix on, and off you go. With the front wheel swivelling, it can be steered one-handed on smooth terrain, so despite its size, it's easily manoeuvrable. With the front wheel fixed, it can handle the park, the woods, a bumpy footpath, though you'd probably balk at the idea of a proper mountain. There's a jogging strap (not very long) on the handlebar, so you could take baby for a run if you had the energy. The handle itself is nicely padded and easily adjusted for optimum comfort.
The seats on these used to lack padding, but this has now been much improved, so your baby can lie back in comfort – you'll be able to see whether she's asleep through the viewing window at the top. The hood gives good protection, but doesn't lock open (a pain when attaching the raincover) and there's no pocket in the back. But what the hood lacks in pockets, the shopping basket more than makes up for – the main basket is big and deep, with two elasticated mesh pockets inside, another one outside and a zip-up section to boot. The pump stows safely in the basket. The raincover is one of the cleverest I've seen, with zips at the front to give easy access to your baby (if she's demanding food, for example!) or roll up the front section if the rain eases off for bit.
Recline the seat by pulling the straps on either side at the back, and your newborn can lie nice and flat or when old enough sit up and enjoy the view. At the end of your trip out, the Urban folds down simply – and is very flat with the wheels removed – and has a strap to keep it together. A car seat adaptor will transform this into a travel system, and if you want a little extra luxury for your newborn, a carrycot is available.
Mamas & Papas 03 Sport
Generally speaking, I like Mamas & Papas buggies but think they're quite expensive. The 03 Sport, however, is cheap for a three-wheeler but not up to the company's usual standards. I'm not entirely sure how one of the baby magazines voted it Best Pushchair of the Year 2006/07, as there are many better on the market. That said, it's a long, long way from being the worst and if you want a three-wheeler but don't want to bust the bank, this could be right for you. It offers all the features you'd expect, such as chunky pneumatic tyres (and the pump's included), quick-release wheels, suspension, adjustable handle, etc. It's also a good-looking buggy, nicely padded to keep your baby comfortable, and pretty straightforward to use.
Putting it together wasn't the easiest of tasks – once you've got the front forks the right way round, the front wheel goes on easily, but it's not that easy to tell. The hood was also tricky to fit to the chassis and didn't click into position properly – my other criticism of the hood is that it's a basic M&P hood, and an off-roader needs something different, that will fold back flat. On the plus side, it gives good coverage, and has a viewing window and a big zip-up pocket. The raincover is a bit of a nuisance, as it has reinforced struts to help it keep its shape when in use – these, however, mean you can't fold the cover and leave it in the basket; if you want the cover, just in case, you need to leave it attached to the buggy, which spoils the overall look and makes it bulkier when folded.
Day to day this is a user-friendly buggy: it's easy to open and close and goes very flat with the wheels off – leave the wheels on and adjust the handle and it's freestanding when folded. The seat recline mechanism is easy to use, just pull a strap at the back for infinite variety from flat enough for a newborn to upright enough to see what's going on around you. And the seat itself is quite high, so the view's good. The handle is nicely padded, but being oval could be a bit uncomfortable after a while. Saving the best till last, the basket is a good size, nice and deep, and has a zip-on 'lid' so your possessions won't go flying if you're going over bumpy ground. Other manufacturers, take note!
hi not Sue but Mr Sue here
i have read your report on the three wheel push chairs and it was very interesting. but thought some ideas from a male point of view might help with making a decision when buying one of these buggies.
1st are you buying it for use on mountains, moors, nature trails, parks or as a fashion accessory.
the phil and teds looks great till you use it in ful laydown mode with the cocoon or with the doubles kit fitted.
as a i am 6 foot 4 after 10 minutes of kicking my baby whilst trying it out because the back of the seats both sit directly under the push handle. i decided that baby was safer in something bigger and more practicle. Also botom baby gets very wet when of road in rough rainy weather
The other thing you have to think about is how much space you have in your house to store it and how much space it is going to take up in your car, as much as they are great out and about. but they can be far from easy to be transported from A to B in the car when you have all your other kit to carry.
By the way we bought the mountain buggy terrain as we spend so much time on dartmoor
ta for listening

i,m getting the jane slalom pro... not with the matrix cup tho(its too heavy) we getting the carrycot and the new strata car seat!
the pram itself is so light and so easy to manouvre! but expensive and the 3 wheels can be impractical in city living if you dont use it correctly but if you get the hang of it i'e you have to go off the curb using back wheels...so need to tip pram slightly to do so..to maintain stability.... but this is becuse 3 wheeelers are designed for the great outdoors so to speak but can be used equally well in city living due to how light and ease of use... you can easily turn it one handed!
so only worth getting if you are going to be doing alot of off road.. we are so we think its an excellent buy!
oh for those having twins... they do a twin version and is upposed to be eqally as good

|Cable giant backs media party
|Time Warner sponsors Sept. 1 shindig
|Published Friday, July 27, 2012
September�s Democratic National Convention has a corporate partner for its media welcome party.
The Charlotte in 2012 Convention Committee announced Time Warner Cable as sponsor of the Sept. 1 bash at the North Carolina Music Factory. TWC employs more than 5,000 in Charlotte, site of the telecommunications giant�s second-largest corporate campus and has 1.7 million customers in the state.
�We are proud to partner with Time Warner Cable as the premier sponsor of this event,� said Dr. Dan Murrey, Charlotte in 2012�s executive director. �This partnership ensures that we will make the most of this incredible opportunity � an international media spotlight brought by the very people we will be welcoming here at the Music Factory.�
DNC-credentialed media will be invited to the welcome party near Uptown Charlotte. The Music Factory has 14 venues from dining to comedy clubs concert arenas, bars, and outdoor courtyards.
Advanced Media Network and Cecil & Company were awarded contracts for the party under the DNCC�s vendor directory program to promote participation among businesses owned by historically underutilized entrepreneurs. Advanced Media has been providing audio-video production services in the Charlotte area for four years. Shelby-based Cecil & Company is owned by Cecil Partlow and provides DJ and emcee services. It has been in business for the last 20 years.
�These companies represent the high-quality, diverse business culture that is the base of our city�s economy,� said Mary Tribble, Charlotte in 2012�s deputy executive director of hospitality and events. �We look forward to partnering with them to create an event that is memorable and helps us set the stage for this historic convention.�

I watched both AVP and SC&WOT. I enjoed SC&WOT. They have just ruined the alien and predator franchise in AVP. There was barely any fighting that lasted more then a minute. The first 2 predator died in less then 15 mintue into the movie. And the last one becamse friends with that chick? :/ im assuming theres gonna be a sequel because how the movie ended. hope its alot better then this one.
Dude Coupling started on BBC. The NBC version pales in comparison.

It was 10 years ago that Private First Class Lori Ann Piestewa died defending her country. Saturday, a sunrise ceremony was held in her memory at the very mountain named after her.
Each year on the anniversary of her death her family gathers. As the sun rises over the mountain named in her honor, they remember.
"She's the first so we all have to come because she's important."
On March 23, 2003, U.S. Army Private First Class Lori Piestewa became the first Native American woman to be killed in action.
Private Piestewa was serving in Iraq with the 507th maintenance company. Her company was traveling in a convoy through the desert and ran into an ambush.
Fellow soldier Jessica Lynch sustained injuries in the same ambush attack. Lynch was present at the service Saturday.
Lori Piestewa was born in Tuba City, Arizona. Following the footsteps of her grandfather and father, she enlisted with the hope of bettering her chances of education and future employment.
"It's very important to remember her, what she did for our country," says cousin Abraham Ariesto.
Private Piestewa left behind a daughter, family, and friends, who will always love and remember her bravery.
A candlelight vigil was also held Friday night to honor Private First Class Piestewa and all fallen heroes.

CHICAGO, IL, March 21, 2012 - The Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA) announced additions to its Member Services staff. In an era with record membership numbers and growing vertical markets, PCMA is investing in new talent and resources to support its growing global membership.
Thomas G. Foley, CAE, joins PCMA as Senior Director, Member Services and Business Development. With the transformation of the department from Member Relations to Member Services, Foley will help increase emphasis on key sectors of PCMA membership as outlined in the organization's strategic plan and overall membership strategy. This will include oversight of the membership recruitment and retention activities of the organization and driving greater benefits, business networking opportunities, and education to members and customers.
Foley will also work to develop new ways for the organization to build community, focus resources and alignment with chapter education, as well as develop and oversee sales of products such as Professional Meetings Management,® CASE® and CMP Online Prep®.
Prior to joining PCMA, Foley served as Director, Membership and Customer Service with APICS, The Association for Operations Management, overseeing the organization's recruitment and retention activities, customer service center, as well as APICS' Fulfillment and Career Center activities. Prior to joining APICS, Foley spent 7 years with the Academy of General Dentistry in various roles which included overseeing call center operations as well as membership recruitment and retention activities.
Sheila Mires, CMP, joins PCMA as Director, Member Services. Mires will be responsible for the development and strategic growth of PCMA's membership and chapters, and assist in the development of membership products and services.
As the Associate Director of Convention Services with Visit Baltimore for the past 7 years, Mires worked with meeting planners of all the major city-wide conventions and industry events and brings that real-world experience to PCMA. Prior to Visit Baltimore, Mires worked for Marriott International as Convention Services Manager at Crystal Gateway, Crystal City, VA.
Mires also has been an active member of the Chesapeake Chapter of PCMA since 2006 which included a 2 year term as President from 2009-2011.
Foley and Mires will report to Jason Paganessi, CAE, Vice President, Business Innovation. Paganessi joined PCMA last summer to lead the association's long-term business strategy and technology endeavors.
Paganessi is a PCMA boomerang, with previous organization tenure, 2000-2004, overseeing the organization's technology interests. Prior to rejoining PCMA he served as Director of Information Technology at the Academy for General Dentistry.
According to Deborah Sexton, PCMA President and CEO, "Jason is a visionary with a diverse knowledge base and skill set in Information Technology and knows how to apply it to real world business situations. His expertise will ensure that PCMA stays ahead of the technology curve and continues to bring innovation to our members."
This meeting keeps evolving to give attendees more business-partnering opportunities.
When a convention center transitions to a new management organization lives and livelihoods hang in the balance.

The teachers recognize effort AND achievement. Most of them are veteran teachers. I highly recommend this school as a parent and an educator.

Thank you West Heritage Staff for making great memories for my children! Keep up the good work.
Great School with high standards, great teachers and fun academic extra programs. The principal Mr.L is energetic and involved. He tries to learn all the students names and attends events out of school hours to encourage the students. Great teachers are what really makes this a special school. Mrs. Ashcraft is amazing!

West Heritage is an Awesome school. I had three kids go through and I could never say a bad thing about it. The Teachers are so great My 9 year old is very smart and Was recognized right away. He was challenged to be the best he could be. Another thing that makes this school so great is the family oriented atmosphere. I think that a great school and scholar come from good teachers and good parents. I my self have moved away from Fontana, and 8 months later still miss it.

Howdy Honda is title sponsor for Austin's 2013 BookSpring Read-a-Thon
Two week program promotes literacy among Greater Austin area students
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The ability to read is one of the most important life skills children can learn. That's why programs like BookSpring's 2013 Read-a-Thon in Austin, TX are so important. Howdy Honda, an Austin TX Honda dealership, is the title sponsor of the program that will run from Jan. 28 through Feb. 8 at participating Austin schools.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130125/CG47981)
During the Read-a-Thon, children read as much as they can and collect donations which are based on how much they read. The children then compete for prizes that are awarded at the end of the event. The children can register for the program through their school's team or on an individual basis if their school is not participating.
Donations collected during the Read-a-Thon go directly to BookSpring's programs that promote early literacy efforts in children, teen parents and parents of young children that are living at or below federal poverty level in the Greater Austin area. This is one of the many reasons Howdy Honda is so proud to be the title sponsor of the program in Austin.
"When people can't read, they are not free; they will always depend on someone else," said Howdy Honda General Manager Cliff Collier.
To learn more about BookSpring's 2013 Read-a-Thon, please visit http://www.bookspring.org.
Howdy Honda stocks new and used cars in Austin, TX. The dealership can be contacted at 512-443-4300 or visited online at www.howdyhonda.com.

Apple said its 2010 entry into the e-book business broke "Amazon's monopolistic grip on the publishing industry."
Industry executives and Wall Street analysts say a return to aggressive discounting of best-selling e-books by Amazon could undermine rival Barnes & Noble, which in the past couple of years has taken an estimated 27% of the e-book market through its Nook digital book store.
Just as importantly, Barnes & Noble sold most of those titles profitably, since it didn't have to worry about having to match discounted books that might otherwise have been sold at a loss.
"This is a huge problem for Barnes & Noble," said Forrester analyst James McQuivey. "Amazon is building a tremendous customer relationship that they can monetize across many categories of goods, not just books. Even if they decide to take a hit on e-books, they can find other places to make up that margin. Barnes & Noble doesn't have that same luxury."

On Thursday, Barnes & Noble was selling an e-book edition of "Guilty Wives" by James Patterson and David Ellis for $12.99. Under the current pricing model, Barnes & Noble makes 30%, or $3.90. But once the book is discounted, it's possible that Barnes & Noble might have to take a loss on each sale, depending on how sharply others discount.
Barnes & Noble's heavy investments in building its Nook e-book business, including a new version of its e-reader unveiled on Thursday, has hurt its bottom line. Analysts expect the retailer to incur an operating loss of $62 million in its fiscal year ending April 28, according to FactSet.
"If Amazon wants to be aggressive in pricing e-books and losing money, it will impact Nook's profitability in the near term," said David Strasser of Janney Montgomery Scott LLC. He said that fear of greater competition ahead was driving down Barnes & Noble stock.
Barnes & Noble and Amazon declined to comment.
Macmillan Chief Executive John Sargent said on his company's website Wednesday that he refused to settle with the Justice Department, believing the terms "could have allowed Amazon to recover the monopoly position it had been building before our switch to the agency model," which allowed publishers to set their e-book prices.
The Justice Department had alleged five major publishers and Apple colluded in 2010 to end Amazon's practice of selling e-book best sellers for $9.99 by establishing a pricing model that let publishers set the retail prices of their digital books. Three of the publishers settled—HarperCollins Publishers, Hachette Book Group and Simon & Schuster—while Apple and two publishers, Penguin and Macmillan, declined to settle.

Apple defended its pricing structure as parallel to the company's mobile software store. "Just as we've allowed developers to set prices on the App Store, publishers set prices on the iBookstore," said a spokeswoman Thursday.
For now, the settlement will force the three settling publishers to rewrite their pricing agreements with retailers, allowing retailers more flexibility to discount. Publishers could stick with the existing agency model, since they won't be able to control retailer discounting, but one executive predicted the most likely outcome is a return to the "wholesale" model, which is more lucrative for publishers than the current e-book pricing model.
The two publishers that didn't settle as well as Bertelsmann AG's Random House, which is an agency seller but not part of the investigation, may eventually have to lower prices on their best-sellers if the pricing gap is too large on heavily discounted titles on Amazon.
Near term, stronger e-book sales would be good for publishers. E-books are cheaper to produce—lacking costly printing and binding—and are more efficient to distribute, since unsold books don't need to be returned to publishers. That has boosted publishers' profits in the past year or so even as revenues have eroded from falling sales of pricier hardcover books.
Random House, for instance, reported that earnings before interest and taxes jumped 6.9% in 2011 despite a 4.3% revenue drop. Simon & Schuster's adjusted Ebitda rose 40% to $28 million in the fourth quarter from a year-earlier even as revenue fell 1%.
For consumers, a return to discounting is expected to give e-book sales new impetus. "It will be a boost," said Richard Curtis, a literary agent and chief executive of E-Reads, an e-book and print-on-demand publishing company. "Consumers have been rebelling against high e-book prices for years."
Authors expressed concerns similar to the publishers. "Money to be made in book publishing is going to decline, and therefore the money to be made by authors is going to decline," said Scott Turow, a novelist and president of the Authors Guild, citing the potential power of Amazon.
