WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah. (ABC 4 News)- Sandy city signed an agreement Monday with Hale Centre Theatre to become the new home of the legendary theatre.
The city accepted a purchase offer from Hale Centre Theatre (HCT) to buy an 11.5 acre plot at 9950 Monroe Street in Sandy. The terms are currently awaiting approval by HCT's Board of Trustees and the Sandy City Council.
HCT is the highest attending community theatre in the United States. It has been operating at 99 plus percent capacity since 2004.
The HCT board felt that it was necessary to expand its theatre in order to meet the theatre's mission of providing affordable top-notch shows to families.
"We've been bursting at the seams for several years now, and moving to Sandy will allow Hale Centre Theatre to continue to grow and provide world-class family theatre to the community for years to come," said chairman of the HCT Board of Trustees, Rob Brough in a press release.
There will be three separate, state-of-the-art performing spaces at the future home of the theatre. An estimated 1,800 total seats will be added. The current theatre has 613 seats. There will also be a slightly larger centre stage with one additional row and improved legroom.
In 2012 more than 255,000 guests attended more than 400 shows, including the U.S. premiere of "Zorro."
"Bringing the nation's most successful community theatre to Sandy will further complement our city and its unique vision, as well as help Hale Centre Theatre meet their growing demands," said Sandy Mayor Tom Dolan in a press release. "This site has the necessary visibility, access and expansion opportunities to ensure Hale Centre Theatre will serve our community for generations to come."

Don't throw that away! Here are many ways to take something old and give it a second life.
- Give new life to any feather pillow by putting it in the dryer with three clean tennis balls on low heat for ten minutes.
- If your string of pearls has lost its luster, clean it carefully with a soft cloth dipped in olive soil. Wipe off oil before wearing.
- When silk flowers get dusty, put them in a paper bag with several tablespoons of salt and shake gently for two minutes to clean them.
- Troubled by pet hairs on your furniture? Put on a rubber glove and run your hand in one direction over the surface. The hairs will form a thin rope that's easy to pick up.
- Boil old toothbrushes in water for four minutes and use them for cleaning golf clubs, bird feeders, and fish tanks, or for getting the last bits of corn silk from fresh ears.
- Use old socks to protect especially fragile Christmas ornaments by putting them in old socks. Also, wear old socks on your hand to dust railings and chair rungs.
- Sprinkle baking soda on carpets to deodorize them. Leave it on for an hour and then vacuum.
- A worn-out blanket makes great padding for your ironing board cover. It's absorbent and soaks up steam without leaving a watery mess.
- Use an old pair of panty hose to strain old paint, removing any lumps or debris that might otherwise mar your paint job.
- Old panty hose are also great for: tying up plants, storing onions, and buffing shoes.

Thanks for the clarification Rob,
I agree with you on this in principle, but this is why I think schools shouldnt be publically funded because I think it is impossible to teach students anything without it somehow endorsing or criticizing a particular religious idea. My first job out of college was teaching at a Christian high school, and it was so much easier to teach when I didnt have to worry about purposely or even accidentally endorsing or criticizing any particular religion. I am a huge proponent of school choice, I think if you wanted your kids to receive an education that was completely devoid of all religious influence you should be able to choose that school for your kids, but we need to get the government out of the education business because it causes all sorts of problems. Your thoughts?

As classic as a denim jacket or a pair of broken-in jeans, the polo is an another unavoidable closet staple — but that doesn't mean it has to be dullsville. Boast, who has been making collared polo tops since the '70s, has been able to add a little charm and a little extra something special to break the mold. Newly relaunched in 2010 — with a collection of ties, shorts, and blazers (and even some womenswear), the brand's 2012 offerings are still a, uh, hit.Let's get to our favorite part — that patch of green (a.k.a. the tiny little leaf) that sits atop the left side of the tee. Look familiar? No, it's not that, Cheech. It's a Japanese maple leaf, and it's been the brand's signature symbol since the company's inception. With a second collab with Minnie Mortimer on the way, and an array of updated classics with slim fits and a Hickey-esque feel, we think their logo might be set to be the next polo horse. Plus, the Boast team certainly is playful. Indeed, the catalogue photos suggest that while the green in question might be maple, it certainly has the same effect as another plant we know.

Thanks to its unique expertise in composite materials, Gitzo developed a new High Performance basalt fibre tube. The new tube comes from a radical innovation of the Poltrusion process, the aerospace technology used by Gitzo to manufacture its composite tubes in one single step, starting from the raw fibres. Fibres are wet in the special resin and then pulled through a high temperature core that generates the tube as we know it. This works perfectly with 6X carbon fibre tubes, while basalt fibres absorb a smaller quantity of resin and this reduces tube density and performance. To overcome this physical limit of basalt fibres, it has been developed a new technology (DRI) to boost a higher quantity of resin into the fibres and increase the tube performance up to 22%, depending on the tube diameter.Besides the High Performance tube, the new Gitzo Basalt Collection offer new sizes and a new look. Basalt tripods are available in Series 1 - 2 and 3 in standard and compact height. The range also includes a new monopod and a microphone boom, both in a convenient 6 section compact size. The new basalt introduces a new colour scheme: black and flame orange, inspired by the basalt itself, a black rock that comes from the Hearth lava core. The basalt collection is completed by three centre ball heads in the new black and flame orange colour scheme to perfectly match basalt tripods and monopod. Basalt fibre tripods, monopod and boom come with the same features of the top of the range 6X models, such as G-Lock, ALR, Ground Level Set, Power Disk, third ground level leg spread and self locking feet among the others. Basalt tripods come with a smart Gitzo display cleaner and a convenient anti-dust bag for storage and packing.

the man down the alley and across the street
is my guard, my night owl who beckons the night.
a lamp-post squared and watching; the neighborhood.
his cigarette glows, he puffs
with nary a ruffle of his body he sits; perched
in the early pitch of morn'
as i walk khalil, my fearful chocolate lab
past the obelisk monuments
of beeswax neighbors
sleeping with solid vacancy.
they are resting now
while the streets hum quietly, expecting their return.
a distant lowing bark muffles the gray black dawn
my heart races, moves me along my routine path
allowing khalil to sniff briefly
at the sleeping earth's musk
marking his scent upon it's' dew.
and as the sun's messengers begin to call
i retreat. while suddenly, silently, one by one
they awake and attack daybreak.

Midnight Eagle (Middonaito Îguru)
A top secret American forces strategic bomber known as "Midnight Eagle" suddenly vanishes in the Northern Alps. Its payload is a specialized nuclear warhead. If it were to explode, the entire nation of Japan would be hurled into an unprecedented calamity. Prime Minister Takafumi Watarase convenes an emergency meeting of the Security Council of Japan. An elite squad from the Self-Defense Force able to operate in severe mountains conditions is formed, and heads off to try and recover the fuselage. Amidst the violent barrage of gunfire from agents of an enemy nation, an actual war is about to begin in the heart of Japan, 62 years after the end of World War II.

text: Last year, we kicked off free agency by trading Brandon Marshall. As much as it wasn't completely unexpected, it was a bit of a surprise. With that in mind, what do you predict this year's "surprise" to be? My surprise is the Phins trading/cutting Bess. I don't know why but I get the feeling that we are going to move away from the small, quick/possession type WR and Bess is a WR that would have more value to a team looking for a slot WR. Again, I have nothing to substantiate my claim except my "gut" feeling. I'm curious to find out what your "gut" feelings about the off-season are.

Java Soulnation 2012: A Fiesta for the Love of Music
The beat of the vibrant capital city Jakarta was pounding louder as thousands of music enthusiasts thronged to ISTORA Senayan Stadium in the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex on the last weekend of September to experience for themselves the most anticipated Java Soulnation Festival 2012.
Held over three days running, from Friday (28/09/12) to Sunday (30/09/12), the festival brought some of the world's prominent names in popular music including James Morrison, Robin Thicke, Jay Sean, Color Me Badd, Scissor Sisters, and many more. From Indonesia's own music scene, the festival featured Sandhy Sandoro, Raisa, Dewi Sandra, Ras Muhammad, Calvin Jeremy, and many others. As stated at the press conference on Thursday, the Festival not only presented the "usual" shows as the artists were challenged to come up with something fresh for each of their performances. The shows were held in 4 outdoor stages and 1 main stage inside the Istora Stadium.
Fully supported by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, the three days music festival proved that show business and the music industry in Indonesia are once again on the rise. Representative of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy stated at the press Conference on Thursday, that the development of the creative industries especially in the field of Show Business has been included in the government's program with the establishment of the new Directorate for the Development of the Performing Arts and the Music Industry in the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy.
It is expected that in future, the Ministry can support and further participate in this type of events since musical events and performing arts in Indonesia have grown significantly and have contributed to the regional and national economy as well as improve people's welfare.

I am glad you quoted a bunch of facts!
Did I get the torch assembled right? I guess? Maybe I should have pulled the entire torch apart when I put a new tungsten in just to make sure there were no broken pieces in the tail? Maybe?
I know I'm sorry I should not have said ALL Syncrowaves have problems..
How about we all calm a little and just focus on the technical aspects???
I know that the economy and world disorder has just about everybody on hairstrigger edge.. ready to fight.... it it really worth getting wonky about any of this as long as the problem got resolved??
there have been quite a few posts disapearing lately... and with that the good info disapears as well as the discord... so we all lose...
how about it...??? a spirited exchange is good... but ???
we have been self policing and regulating for a very long time... but I guess that is no longer the case......
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
Buy the best tools you can afford.. Learn to use them to the best of your ability.. and take care of them...

On page 2 I said thanks for giving me a solution to fix the problem which it should have ended there but it did not. It continued. And then I said we can close the thread since the problem was fixed and it continued.
After reading many threads from this site and others I found threads similar to my problem and they ended up being board replacements. Also I found many other problems other than the board. This made me believe that there were many problems with the syncrowave and I posted Another syncrowave problem thread because I would figure you guys would be tired of seeing a new thread about them. Anyways I was at fault for not tearing the torch apart before putting a new tungsten (like everyone else does) and missing a piece of pure tungsten in the tail. But like I said I tried to end it on page 2 but it did not and now we are on page 4 talking about everything other than the original problem.
Anyways im done (again) and problem fixed...

Wow! I went to this thread to decide if I should keep my 180SD or trade up and it sounded like the cheerleader's locker room after a bad game! Now I can't say I've been in the cheerleaders locker room, but I'm guessing......

Use the right words. Because words sell, not graphics. If you have any doubts, try this simple experiment.
Take a look at this...
It's this site without any graphics. A touch bare, perhaps, but the right words will still "get the sale."
Now look at this...
Same site, except no words this time. Pretty hard to sell without words, isn't it?
Sure, graphics set the stage -- used sparingly and imaginatively, they can substantially reinforce your sales message. So get the look-and-feel right, by all means. But after that...
It's Words That Sell
To sell more, write better. Make the most productive use of words, words that address the needs and wants of your customers.
The right words will overcome a mediocre look-and-feel. But use the wrong words, and even the most professional-looking site will be instantly destroyed.
Pretty serious stuff, especially when so many people think...
"I Am Not a Writer"
Most of us are not writers. Hemingway was a writer. Tolstoy was a writer. Stephen King is a writer. Writing is about crafting wonderful fiction, stories of power and feeling. But we're talking here about creative writers.
We, on the other hand, are natural-born persuaders. Think of all the people you persuade every day...
- your suppliers and your customers
- your co-workers and your boss (if you're the boss, your employees)
- your spouse and your children
- your friends and associates
- even your competitors!
Yes, persuasion is a bit trickier "in writing." It's less spontaneous and the "persuadee" is not sitting in front of you. But, believe me...
You CAN Fill Your Site with Words that Sell
And there are three ways to do it...
- Do as I did. Before I launched MYSS!, I read every book I could find on the art of writing advertisements and sales copy. I learned, slowly but surely, through painful trial-and-error, how to adapt that knowledge to successful site-selling, a science in its own right.
Pay a professional. Three problems...
First, a pro does not "live" the product the way you do.
Second, a good "Web-writer" is tough to find.
Third, the good ones are simply too expensive (the bad ones, of course, cost you more in the long run!).
- Let Joe Robson, a top-notch copywriter who "gets the Net," and me show you how.
MYWS! is designed to give you a communication resource unlike any other, based on our combined writing and marketing experiences. It is the culmination of...
8 Months of Exciting Collaboration
During MYWS!'s development, Joe and I would brainstorm periodically. Then Joe would squirrel himself away for weeks, feverishly re-writing. Suddenly, a manuscript would turn up in my e-mail. I would tear it apart with Joe, add a bunch of new ideas, and then...
Then we'd repeat the whole brainstorm-squirrel-manuscript cycle... over and over again.
Finally, eight months later... it was done. Simple. Clean. Clear. Effective. Written from the ground up, created solely to show you how to...
Make Your Words Sell!
"What DOES It Deliver?"
MYWS! concerns itself with the only kind of Web copy of interest to serious Internet marketers the world over.
It's about writing Internet sales copy that grabs attention - and holds it tight.
It's about writing Internet sales copy that persuades and motivates readers into action.
And it does much, much more than just show you how to think like a successful Web copywriter. It shows you how to think like your customer, with your customer and ahead of your customer. And...
Not just any customer... your specific customer. Right from the very first moment (before, actually!) he or she enters your site, all the way through to the climax of taking the order.
Step by careful step, word by word, paragraph by paragraph, and page by perfectly crafted page, Make Your Words Sell! transforms you into the consummate copywriter who knows how to write to sell.
Owning MYWS! is just like having your very own, personal copywriting muse and coach. By the time you've finished, here are just a few skills you'll own...
- Use the unique "SWAT-it-to-death" technique to master key skills that trouble most copywriters, amateur or pro.
- Create the perfect USP.
- Write headlines that pull without hyping.
- generate an unbelievable number of benefits from your product, benefits that you'll never see without "SWATTING" your product's features
- Use the benefits that are the most important to your customers.
- Word those benefits perfectly to get the sale!
My favorite part?
It's the "cure" for every marketer's disease, "USP-itis," complicated by "benefit-oma." Everyone has trouble building a strong USP (Unique Selling Proposition), and most companies develop sub-optimal product benefits and position them poorly, if at all.
This radical "SWAT-it-to-death" method virtually forces you to pull the strongest and most persuasive sales-getting USP and benefits out of your product and onto your customer's screen. "SWAT" guarantees that your copy will sell.
That's all there is to it. You already know how to persuade people. This book shows you how to do it on the Net... how to get your USP, headlines, sales copy and order form perfect.
And the best part?...
It's So Simple... So Easy To Follow
MYWS! is laid out in such a unique simple-to-follow format, that A-N-Y-O-N-E, novice or pro, can do it. Remember... this is not "Hemingway" stuff.
It shows you how to learn more about your product and customer than you ever thought possible! Then takes you the rest of the way to the sale.
It's really an on-the-job mini-university course in copywriting. All of it achieved by simply learning how to apply the amazing power of the right words...
Powerful, persuasive, pocket-jingling words...
Words that achieve astronomically greater results than all the gizmos, over-designed Web sites, and traffic generating software put together.
Even greater than any pro copywriter you'll ever find. Why? Because you are the one with passion for your product and knowledge of your target market -- all you're missing is the skill to e-persuade.
Now you have it.
Once you read and apply it, you will use it over and over and over again... and wonder how you could ever have sold without it.
No, it won't turn you into Hemingway. But you will be forever more persuasive, no matter what you market on the Net.
Master and use the irresistible and unstoppable power of words that sell!
All the best,
President, SiteSell.com

As an admitted MonsterQuest fan, I have always been a bit of a believer, but I want to see the proof. This should be fun.
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
If they've recently discovered 125,000 gorillas, then anything is possible right?

Do you realize how many man hours have been wasted on this stuff (and Adam Dunn threads...)? Think about all of the dumb History Channel Specials hosted by Leonard Nimoy or their shows about giant floods overwhelming Paris. What a waste.

Drumroll, please….Freda Salvador's latest styles have finally hit the online stratosphere, and we couldn't be more enthralled with the results!

Other designs include d'orsay loafers with crocodile motifs, along with ankle boots perfect for tackling these pesky hills. Don't worry, we won't tease you too long. In fact, we've got the exclusive snaps of the pretty pairs right here! Ready to sneak a peek at these cool soles hitting stores oh-so-soon? Click through after the jump and try not to gasp too loudly on every slide. Wait...we might have trouble taking our own advice.
