There are a number of different ways to power a house full of speakers. Here's an overview of things you need to know.
Audio in two rooms using one receiver
One-receiver setups are generally the simplest, most affordable ways to enjoy multi-room audio. In fact, your existing home theater receiver may have the necessary features — a second set of speaker outputs (often labeled "B" or "zone 2") to drive a pair of stereo speakers in a second room. [Shop for a multi-room receiver.]
Is this an option that will work for you? Let's take a look at some common situations.
"How do I know if my home theater receiver can power speakers in a second room?"
If you want a single receiver to power both your main and your second room, you should look for a receiver with powered (or "speaker-level") outputs. These models can send an amplified audio signal to a second room, so that you won't need to purchase an additional amplifier.
Don't forget: You'll need a pair of speakers in that second room; lots of folks also like to install an in-wall volume control to adjust the sound in their second listening area. Also, some receivers "borrow" power from your main room's channels in order to power speakers in a second room. For example, many 7.1-channel receivers use the two back surround channels to drive the "B" or "zone 2" speakers — when you listen to audio in your second room, you'll only have 5.1 surround sound in your main room.
"I want to be able to listen to two different audio sources in both rooms simultaneously."
To play back your TV's audio in one room, and send Dad's favorite jazz tunes to a set of speakers in the den at the same time, you'll need a dual-room/dual-source receiver. This kind of receiver can play two different sources in two listening areas simultaneously.
Don't forget: If you use your receiver's preamp outputs, you'll need another amp or receiver to power the speakers in your second room. To avoid that situation, use your receiver's powered outputs.
Diagram A — Audio for two rooms using "A" and "B" speaker outputs
- Simple and affordable — a great way to get started with multi-room sound.
- Receivers with powered dual-room/dual-source capability will let housemates listen to two different sources simultaneously.
- With some receivers, you can't play all of your surround channels in your main room while playing stereo music in another.
- Your receiver must be designed to handle a 4-ohm load; speakers in both rooms must be 8-ohm speakers. If you use speakers with an impedance lower than 8 ohms, you may trigger your receiver's built-in protection circuit, causing it to shut off.
- Installing an in-wall volume control in your secondary room adds a lot of convenience — adjust the volume right there, instead of running back and forth from your main room.
Audio in three rooms using one receiver
Some higher-end home theater receivers can provide audio to three or even four rooms at the same time. These receivers typically offer a mix of preamp-level and powered outputs, and some also feature a composite video output for an additional room, allowing you to send audio and video to your second or third room.
"What kind of receiver do I need?"
You'll need a receiver with 3-room/3-source capability (the back-panel outputs are often labeled "Zone 2" and "Zone 3"). This kind of receiver can play three different sources in three listening areas simultaneously. And most of them offer a combination of both preamp and powered speaker outputs.
Don't forget: If you use your receiver's preamp outputs in your second or third rooms, you'll need another amp or receiver to power the speakers in that room.
Diagram B — Audio for three rooms using "Zone 1," "Zone 2," and "Zone 3" speaker outputs
- Some 3-room/3-source receivers can also send video to one of your additional rooms.
- Receivers with 3-room/3-source capability will let housemates listen to three different sources simultaneously.
- With some receivers, you can't play all of your surround channels in your main room while playing stereo music in another.
- Most receivers are only made to power two rooms, and use a preamp output for the third. A few receivers can safely power the speakers in all three rooms — in most cases, you'll only be able to get 3.1-channel sound in your main room, and stereo sound in two additional rooms.
- Installing in-wall volume controls in your additional rooms adds a lot of convenience — adjust the volume right there, instead of running back and forth from your main room.
Audio in three rooms using two receivers
Adding a second receiver to your system can expand your multi-room options in several different ways. A two-receiver system not only lets you send music to more areas of your house, but it also always lets you enjoy full home theater sound in your main room while sending a different audio source to both of your other listening rooms.
"What kinds of receivers do I need?"
The first receiver will live in your main A/V room, connected to your audio sources, such as a CD player or music server, and powering your home theater speakers. This model needs to have a set of preamp-level (or line-level) outputs so that it can send a non-amplified audio signal to your second receiver.
Your second receiver is the one that will power your speakers in your second and third rooms, using its "A" and "B" speaker outputs. It receives audio information from your home theater receiver's preamp-level outputs — you can simply connect a standard set of stereo RCA cables to one of the second receiver's audio inputs. This receiver doesn't need to be a home theater model — in most cases, a relatively inexpensive stereo receiver can handle the job quite capably. You may even have an old stereo receiver that you can use for the job.
Don't forget: You'll need two pairs of speakers with that second receiver or amplifier — one pair for each listening room.
Diagram C — Audio for three rooms using a second (stereo) receiver (main-room home theater system not pictured)
- Simple and affordable.
- You'll always be able enjoy surround sound with your main system and play music in your second and third rooms simultaneously.
- This kind of system can easily be expanded. For example, if your main receiver has two preamp outputs, you could set up a second stereo receiver for four total rooms.
- Most stereo receivers can't send different audio sources to your second and third listening rooms. (If you find one that can output two audio signals to its "A" and "B" outputs, you'll still need to hook up at least one source directly to the stereo receiver, since your home theater receiver can only provide one source at a time.)
- Installing in-wall volume controls in your additional rooms adds a lot of convenience — adjust the volume right there, instead of running back and forth from your main room.
- Your receiver must be designed to handle a 4-ohm load; both pairs of speakers must be 8-ohm, unless you use impedance-matching volume controls.
- The receiver must have parallel connections internally. Ask your Crutchfield Sales Advisor if the receiver you're planning to buy has series or parallel connections internally.
Adding an amplifier for even more whole-house power and flexibility
In a number of situations, it may make more sense to use a more powerful dedicated amplifier, rather than a stereo receiver, to power your system. If you opt for a multi-channel amplifier, you'll not only have plenty of power, but also a lot more flexibility in dividing that power according to the differing demands of your various listening areas. [Shop for a power amplifier.]
Just like the previous examples that used stereo receivers, a multi-room amplifier would receive audio information from your main home theater receiver via its preamp inputs.
"How many channels of amplification do I need?"
The number of channels you'll want depends not only on how many pairs of speakers you want to power, but also on what kind of environment those speakers will be in, and how you'd like to listen to them.
For example, additional amplifier power comes in particularly handy for outdoor speakers, which tend to require a lot more power than indoor speakers to achieve comparable volume levels. With a 12-channel amplifier, you could "bridge" four channels to power a pair of stereo speakers in your backyard — that means that each of those speakers would receive two channels of power, enabling them to produce higher volume levels without straining the amp. For all but the largest of indoor areas, two channels of amplification per pair of stereo speakers should provide all the power you need. And for smaller or less-frequently occupied areas where you only want a single mono speaker for background listening, you could use a single amp channel set to a mono configuration.
Diagram F — Audio for multiple rooms using a multi-zone receiver and a multichannel amplifier
- Versatility — you can easily distribute varying amounts of power to different areas of your home, as needed; many amps can be "daisy-chained" to accommodate more rooms.
- Plenty of power for every room, so you'll get great sound, and you won't strain the amp or underpower your speakers.
- You free up the receiver's amplifier section to deliver surround sound in the main room at any time.
- You can steer mono sound to small rooms and hallways while maintaining stereo in other rooms.
- A relatively expensive solution, compared to other options.
- In most set ups, with the exception of your main room, you can't listen to different sources in each area — the same music will play through all speakers in most setups.
- Volume limiters on the back panel of some multi-channel amps let you match the volume from one room to the next. Then, even if someone cranks the volume knob all the way up, it still won't reach floor-shaking levels.
- You'll need to find a well-ventilated space for the amplifier near your receiver.
Other considerations
Sharing components in two-receiver systems
Sharing audio components such as CD players and music servers between two receivers in a multi-room audio system isn't necessary, but it can save you both money and space. For example, if you've got a 400-disc CD megachanger loaded up with your entire music library, the ability to play it through either of your two receivers is an especially attractive option.
If your main receiver offers dual-room/dual-source capability, you can simply use its preamp output to share all of your components via a single analog connection. Alternatively, if the component you want to share can support both its analog and digital outputs simultaneously, you can make a digital connection to one receiver and an analog connection to the other. Or, if you can't make a digital connection to either receiver, you can use two buffered Y-connectors to share the component's output between your two receivers.
Choosing the right speaker wire
If you're planning to power your speakers from a receiver or amplifier that will be located in a separate room, it's important to consider what kind of speaker wire to use. To determine what's right for your setup, you'll need to figure out where you're going to route the wire and how far the signal will have to travel to get from your receiver or amplifier to the speaker. To run wire inside your walls, you'll need UL-rated speaker wire labeled CL2 or CL3. The Underwriters Laboratory (UL) looks at heat generated from current flowing through wire, how quickly the cable will catch and spread fire when exposed to flame, and the wire's susceptibility to damage from external stresses. Also, be sure to check your local building and fire code and buy wire accordingly.
Another factor to consider is the gauge, or thickness, of your speaker wire. The lower the American Wire Gauge (AWG) number, the thicker the wire. Significant power losses can occur over long runs, resulting in lower performance, making wire gauge a key factor in the performance of a multi-room music system. Use the chart below as a guideline for wire gauge selection.
|Distance from speaker to amplifier
|Less than 80 feet
|80 to 200 feet
|More than 200 feet

Devine named head volleyball coach at East Tennessee State
Wednesday, April 02, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 1, 2003) - Lindsey Devine has been named the next head volleyball coach at East Tennessee State. After one full season as a volunteer assistant, Devine served as the Buccaneer's temporary assistant coach since January, while a search was conducted to fill the head coaching vacancy. A native of Toronto, Canada, Devine becomes ETSU's seventh head volleyball coach since the program began in 1974. "I am very excited about the opportunity and challenge given to me by East Tennessee State to bring the volleyball program to a new level," said Devine. "I look forward to bringing that same excitement to the players, staff, and supporters of ETSU athletics." Devine attended York University in Toronto, where she earned a bachelor of arts degree in English and physical education in 1988 and bachelor of science degree in education in 1990. She played outside hitter for the university from 1984 to 1988, leading her team to four all-province titles during those years, including a bronze medal at the National Championships in 1985. After her playing career, Devine went on to coach the Durham Attack Volleyball Club, one of the top amateur programs in the province of Ontario. Devine was named the Coach-of-the-Year in 1999-00, when her team was awarded silver medallist accolades at the Ontario Provincial Championships. She served as an assistant coach with the club team when Durham won back-to-back gold medals from 1997-99. Devine, who resides in Kingsport, Tenn., with her husband Carl and two children Megan and Owen, was the junior varsity coach at Science Hill High School in Johnson City in 2002. For the past year, Devine has been heavily involved in the Buccaneer Junior Volleyball Club, where she was the co-coach for the 18-year-old elite team, and has also helped coordinate the East Tennessee State volleyball camps. "Lindsey Devine brings outstanding credentials to our program as a player and a coach of elite athletes for many years," said Barbie Breedlove, associate director of athletics. "Our student-athletes and university will benefit greatly from her maturity, integrity, and expertise. She has run our program very effectively on a temporary basis since January, and I am certain she will do an outstanding job going forward." Dave Mullins, East Tennessee State's director of athletics, has also been pleased with the work of Devine and the duties she assumed in her short time with the ETSU volleyball program. "Our departmental staff and I have been very impressed with the way Lindsey Devine has worked with our program first as an assistant coach and then as an interim coach while we conducted our search," Mullins said. "Her commitment to excellence will be great for our players and our department. I hope we can give stability to our volleyball program for years to come. Her family has become part of our community and I know she will be a great asset in many ways."

Get A Grip On Ragweed Allergy
How to beat the Weed
1. Pull out ragweed in and around your property no later than the end of July. This prevents flowering and the spread of its harmful pollen.
2. Remove or mow down ragweed plants wherever you see them. Seeds can survive for 40 years, so eliminating the weeds is crucial.
3. Check pollen forecasts, and plan outdoor activities for days when counts are low.
4. Minimize time outdoors during the middle of the day, when counts are the highest.
5. Keep pollen out by closing doors and windows, and using air conditioning and HEPA air filters.
6. Wash hands frequently; take a shower and change clothes after being outside.
7. Do not hang laundry outside; it will collect pollen.
8. Talk to your allergist about treatment options and develop a plan of action before allergy season hits.
Relief in a Pill
The first line of medical defense against ragweed is over-the-counter antihistamines. There are several types on the market, which work differently for different people, say prominent allergists. Steroid-based, prescription nasal sprays are also a good solution.
For long-term relief of more severe symptoms, your allergy or asthma specialist may recommend pre-season immunotherapy.

We've gotten a teaser look at new Paramore music in live and demo versions of tender ballad "In the Mourning," but it looks like fans are about to get some more polished sounds.
The band's official site gave the heads up on Monday that fresh Paramore tune "Monster" will appear on the Transformers: Dark Of The Moon soundtrack. A video is also reportedly in the works for the song.
The film is due to hit theaters on July 1, with the soundtrack whetting appetites for the action flick with a June 7 release. Other acts contributing to the soundtrack include Staind, Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance and others.
"Monster" will be the first official Paramore release since the departure of Josh and Zac Farro last year. The band's remaining members -- singer Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and bassist Jeremy Davis -- hit the studio in California in March to record some new songs. No news yet on the release of other fruits of those sessions.
Meanwhile, it looks like Farro fans will have to wait a bit longer for music from the brothers' new outfit, Novel American. The band updated fans in a May 10 Facebook post that they'd parted ways with singer Van Beasley.
They did note, however, that they intended to continue as a band.
"We are all very excited to see how God will continue to evolve and define our sound and us," the post reads. "We know this may be disappointing to hear for everyone who is ready for some songs to be released, but we are absolutely certain that this process will result in Novel American being the absolute best it can be. The future looks very exciting!"
Paramore returns to the road in July and August for a string of overseas dates and a short North American stint on the Vans Warped Tour.

What do you expect when you travel to another country?
If you are in a foreign country, what do you expect, what do you want to see, what would you like to learn and take away from that place?
Jul 27 2012: I would expect only to see and to absorb what that country's identity is, culturally, socially, linguistically, artistically, gastronomically, politically etc.
I would go there entirely to fit in with them as my hosts, rather than expecting them to adjust their ways to please me as a guest.
I go abroad to experience the beauty and stimulation of contrasting cultures - never to expect 'England abroad'.
Jul 28 2012: Thank you Allan, any experience you would like to share in particular?
Sym !
Jul 27 2012: It is enough to me to see new people, new cultures and new languages. It really means a lot to me I can only set and watch them I'd have no problem with that.
- +1
I want to learn new good things from people there which i can't learn it in my own country. I'll also try to learn some words from their language.
Jul 27 2012: Thank you Symphony, what would you learn in a country different from your own?
Sym !
Jul 27 2012: I'll learn anything new. Anything better than what i have. Ideas, reactions, maybe even beliefs.

Jul 28 2012: Thank you Symphony, have you taken any beliefs so far?

Not to have expectation but an open mind would be the right thing to do. Having expectation will limit us from seeing or even learning new things.
Jul 27 2012: Fantastic point of view, but is there nothing you would hope to learn in a foreign country, Tanka?
Jul 27 2012: Just the opposite man. Not expecting anything means being ready to learn all there is to learn. I am always ready to learn.
Juan Jimenez
Jul 28 2012: Beautiful mindset, thank you Tanka.Jul 27 2012: Good food.That's pretty much it.The rest ( eg.friendship,cultural exchange etc.) will soon follow.
- +1
Jul 28 2012: Muhammad that is a beautiful input, I do believe that food exchange is an amazing cultural exchange. Would you try anything?
Jul 28 2012: Believe me, I would try just about anything that's edible.I remember my trip to China where I sampled an Uyghur delicacy which was salted goat's leg.It looked revolting at first and once I tasted it, tears flowed from my eyes due to the saltiness of the goat.Then, a Chinese man sitting beside me started to laugh at me.We instantly became friends.
Jul 28 2012: That is amazing, thanks for sharing Muhammad!Jul 27 2012: Hello Juan,
When I travel, I have no expectations. My intent was always to learn about the culture, and connect with people. I am open to learning whatever there is to learn. I often carried tennis balls in my backpack, and when entering a little village, there were almost always curious children to greet us. I would toss a ball to one of the children, and before we knew it, there was a ball game going on. More children would come and sometimes parents would join in. I always left the ball with the first child who started playing, and they were often very surprised that I would give them such a huge (for them) gift. In some western cultures, some folks are not aware of how much we have, and how little some other people in our world have.
I remember one time in So. America in a little mountain village, after a ball game, I gave the ball to the first little boy who started playing. He was surprised...he thought about it for a minute...then ran off smiling.....and gave it to a little boy on the sidelines who had no legs. We had included this little fellow in our game to the degree that he could participate. Still touches my heart:>)
One time, while visiting my friend in Ajijic (near Lake Chapala) we took a day trip to Guadalajara, and planned to see the cultural show in the big theater there. While waiting in the square outside, some children were playing ball, and the ball happened to come my way. I tossed it back...they tossed it back to me....we started laughing, and suddenly, I was part of the ball game. I love children, and it gives me pleasure to connect in this way.
I learn a little bit of the language (please, thank you, hello, goodbye....basics), often dress similar to the people in that culture. While in Egype, for example, I sometimes wore a head covering for practical reasons....it kept the sand and sun out of the face while riding camels in the desert! Simply doing that seemed to connect me very quickly with local women along the way.
Jul 28 2012: Colleen, its nice to see you in a conversation again, thank you for sharing such a heart warming stories, it is particularly refreshing to read a story from your hometown. It will be nice to see someone following the ball game in a random country in the near future. Regards.Jul 26 2012: Some countries I would expect to find the freedom to move about in peace while enjoying the natural and cultural creations of the nation. In others I would expect to find dangerous political unrest, or drug related violence, both of which make enjoyment impossible. What I would like to learn and take away from both is the reason for the difference.
Jul 26 2012: Thank you Edward, do you truly believe there can be no enjoyment in countries with political unrest and/or drug related violence?
Jul 26 2012: I would not generalize that there can be no enjoyment amid the presence of random, extreme violence, but I do believe such enjoyment would come at the cost of being not truly relaxed and not free to move about. Such uneasiness is exascerbated for a foreigner who is not accustomed to the possibility of random, lethal violence.

Little Hotties Hand Warmers aren't just warm, they're hot!
Ever wonder how hand warmers work? It's a simple answer, but an odd one: Rust. Iron releases heat when it rusts, and if you get the conditions right, it can get pretty darn toasty. Little Hotties® can get as hot as 167°F using nothing but iron powder, water, salt and the air around you, with activated carbon to disperse heat and vermiculite as insulation. Keep it in a pocket, they can be too hot to hold! Takes up to 20 minutes before full warmth, then lasts up to 8 hours.

I bought these because we were going camping above 9000 feet in Arizona over Labor Day weekend. While the Phoenix area was hot that weekend, our temperatures were about 40° cooler. We used these by the campfire to keep hands warm. They were easy to use and stayed hot for hours. We are looking forward to having them during the winter here for the same purpose, and other uses.

Good little add on for those cold mornings in the deer stand. As always, shipped quickly with Duluth.
Just purchased this product and it is absolutely great. It provides amazing heat during extreme weather conditions. I use it to keep my hands warm while taking my dog on a 2-mile walk & other outdoor activities and it's just perfect. Already recommended this to my friends. Great product for assurance in frigid conditions.
I've tried tried various hand warmers over the years; some work, some don't. It seems like with most brands you always get some duds. Not with Little Hotties, everyone of them has worked for me. I've searched high and low for them. I'm glad to see Duluth Trading is carrying them
Our ladies golf group has an early tee time that's great in hot weather, but presents problems on frosty mornings during the winter. These hand warmers are a must for us and can bring heat to cold fingers over the entire round if needed.

text: Case | HBS Case Collection | March 2013 (Revised March 2015) iMatari Joseph L. Badaracco and Matthew Preble In late 2012, recent Harvard Business School graduate Hannah Lopez is given the opportunity to lead entry into a new market for Plámo, a company that created startup companies in Europe and emerging markets based upon existing successful business models. She had only been with the company a few months, and while excited by the opportunity, she was beginning to have some doubts about the company. In the brief time she had been with the company, she had had a few experiences that made her question the company's approach to management and the sustainability of its business. Accepting the assignment could give her a unique entrepreneurial opportunity, but she wondered what level of support she could expect to receive and, if the startup did fail, what impact would that have on her career and reputation? Lopez was also starting to worry about the ethical implications of Plámo's style of entrepreneurship. She worried that by agreeing to serve as a manager of the new operations, she would be tacitly supporting elements of Plámo's strategy and practices that she was concerned about. Was she comfortable taking other companies' ideas and simply copying them? Was this true entrepreneurship?

Oregon has adopted the civil law doctrine of drainage. Under this doctrine, adjoining landowners are entitled to have the normal course of natural drainage maintained. The lower owner must accept water which naturally comes to his land from above, but he is entitled not to have the normal drainage changed or substantially increased. The lower landowner may not obstruct the run-off from the upper land, if the upper landowner is properly discharging the water.
For a landowner to drain water onto lands of another in the State of Oregon, two conditions must be satisfied initially: 1) the lands must contain a natural drainage course; and 2) the landowner must have acquired the right of drainage supported by consideration. In addition, because Oregon has adopted the civil law doctrine of drainage, three basic elements must be followed:
1. A landowner may not divert water onto adjoining land that would not otherwise have flowed there. "Divert water" includes but is not necessarily limited to: 1) water diverted from one drainage area to another; and 2) water collected and discharged which normally would infiltrate into the ground, pond, and/or evaporate.
2. The upper landowner may not change the place where the water flows onto the lower owner's land (Most of the diversions not in compliance with this element result from grading and paving work and/or improvements to water collection systems).
3. The upper landowner may not accumulate large quantities of water, then release it, greatly accelerating the flow onto the lower owner's land. This does not mean that the upper landowner can not accelerate the flow of water at all; experience has found drainage to be improper only when acceleration and concentration of the water were substantially increased.

Posted in At Science Center
Dr. Ioannis N. Miaoulis, President and Director of the Museum of Science, Boston visited the Orlando Science Center this week to speak to a select crowd of educators, community leaders, science center staff and trustees. and other VIP's about his efforts to impact Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education in America.
When Dr. Miaoulis first arrived in the U.S. from Greece, he was surprised at the level of confusion from American students about what Engineering actually is. He saw the term engineering used in many contexts from train drivers, to anything that needs fixing, even as a label on janitorial closets.
He noticed that the science taught in our schools was primarily focused on natural science, ignoring the aspects of our world that is human made. He felt that the US had reached a point where there was great attention paid to how many legs grasshoppers have rather than explaining how the items like buildings, cars and roads came to be.
The answer to this query became his life calling and Dr. Miaoulis began to lead the charge in Massachusetts to introduce engineering into the school curriculum and ultimately impact STEM focus on national educational standards.
Why is STEM focus important in formal education? He offered five simple reasons.
- 98% of the world around you is a result of technology and engineering
- Engineering creates project based learning and problem solving
- Engineering makes math and science relevant
- There is a serious lack of US workforce for engineering and technology fields.
- Reliance on digital technology has crippled the 3D visualization skills of US children
Recognizing that a 21st century curriculum must include the human-made world, he led efforts with the Museum's Board of Trustees and Overseers to create the National Center for Technological Literacy (NCTL) in 2004. The mission of the NCTL is to enhance knowledge of engineering and technology for people young and old as well as inspire the next generation of engineers, inventors and scientists.
The NCTL advances technological literacy in schools by helping states modify educational standards and assessments by designing K-12 engineering materials and by offering educators professional development. Their curricula have reached over 35,500 teachers and close to 3 million students in all 50 states. In 2010 the NCTL won the Smaller Business Association of New England Innovation Award.
They hope to further the message of the importance of STEM education to key states such as Florida and California who have the two highest percentages of science and technology careers in the nation. He ultimately hopes to partner with institutions like the Orlando Science Center, where much has been done to provide STEM opportunities to local schools, to help cultivate and spread the message of STEM education.
The Orlando Science Center works with schools and other organizations to provide support for engaging youth in STEM topics. Our hope is that Dr. Miaoulis's message inspires our audience of educators and community leaders to impact issues surrounding STEM education in our communit

The Sociology Program at SUNY Plattsburgh offers students the opportunity to apply their classroom knowledge to problems and issues beyond the classroom. Our internship program is designed to let you make connections between "book learning" and the "real-world".
There are two parts to the internship:
Answer: You decide. Any government agency, community service organization, local business. Tell us what you want to do; we are likely to approve any reasonable proposal.
In past semesters, students have chosen to work with organizations such as:
(Return to internship questions)
Answer: Hours (and credits) can vary. You and the internship site will decide how many hours meets your needs and their needs. For the internship itself, hours and credits match approximately as follows:
SOC 498 pass/fail
In addition, you will take the internship seminar in the fall semester, which is SOC 497 for a letter grade (3 credits). So you could earn a total of 12 credits (9 + 3) for the semester.
(Return to internship questions)
(Return to internship questions)
Answer: During advisement/registration for fall semester (usually in March & April):
We'll let you know if you're accepted into the program and give you instructions then for registration and for finalizing arrangements with the internship site.
(Return to internship questions)
Answer: Yes! You can do the internship here in Plattsburgh or in your home town. Just indicate on the application form that you'll be doing it during the summer. You'll still have to take the internship seminar in the fall, so count on that.
(Return to internship questions)
Answer: In the seminar, you and other student interns will discuss your respective internship sites, their structures and concerns. Together, you will have an opportunity to critically evaluate these experiences and discuss broad issues common to the group-issues such as the problems of bureaucracies, limitations of funding, and ways of fostering institutional and social change.
During the semester, you will be asked to participate in and occasionally lead discussions, read articles and books assigned, and produce a research paper. The paper, on a topic relating to your placement site, will be a scholarly effort applying social science theories and findings to your experiences in the real world.

With Ron Paul's bill H.R. 459, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, headed for a floor vote in the House in the next two weeks (and likely success at passage with 263 sponsors), he and his son Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) are now focusing on the Internet.
His Campaign for Liberty (C4L), started in 2008 with some four million dollars of campaign funds from his unsuccessful run for the White House that year, has issued its manifesto to continue the fight: "The Technology Revolution: A Campaign for Liberty Manifesto."
Starting with his first term as a member of the House of Representatives from Texas in 1976, Paul has led the fight to expose the secret machinations of the Federal Reserve, making that his primary theme in the freedom fight. That theme can be traced to the publication of his The Revolution: A Manifesto in 2008 to his End the Fed in 2009, and finally to his latest book, Liberty Defined, published in January this year.
But with his campaign for the presidency likely to fail at the Republican Party's convention next month and his decision not seek reelection to his House seat, Paul is passing the torch to his son. As explained on the C4L website:

- person in the U.S. has this name View Helen Makuta on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
English vernacular form of the name (Greek Hēlēnē) borne in classical legend by a famous beauty, wife of Menelaus, whose seizure by the Trojan prince Paris sparked off the Trojan War. Her name is of uncertain origin; it may be connected with a word meaning 'ray' or 'sunbeam' compare Greek hēlios 'sun'. It has sometimes been taken as connected with the Greek word meaning 'Greek', Hellēn, but this is doubtful. In the early Christian period the name was borne by the mother of the Emperor Constantine, who is now usually known by the Latin version of her name, Helena. She is credited with having found the True Cross in Jerusalem. She was born in about 248, probably in Bithynia. However, in medieval England it was believed that she had been born in Britain, which greatly increased the popularity of the name there.

As the guy in the video states, there's nothing dangerous about the brown — it's safe to eat, but it's just unsightly.

1. Using a scale instead of measuring by volume makes baking faster, easier, more enjoyable, and virtually guarantees success.2. Begin preheating the oven a minimum of 20 minutes before baking. If using a convection setting, lower the heat 25 °F. (This is not usually necessary for countertop ovens.)3. For the best tasting citrus zest: wash the fruit with detergent and rinse well. This makes a surprising difference in the flavor. If the citrus fruit has already been squeezed and you want to make zest, freeze the rind to make it easier to grate.4. Cut cheesecake with unflavored dental floss held taut. A deeply serrated knife works best for other cakes.5. Choosing the right kind of flour makes all the difference. Use the type of flour indicated in the recipe. Unless otherwise specified, use bleached flour.6. For the most delicious chocolate chip cookies use browned butter. It's easy to make: simply cook the butter until the milk solids turn a nut brown. Allow it to cool to room temperature before adding it to the cookie dough.7. Once a cake or loaf of bread is cut, cover the cut sides with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out.8. When using dark or glass pans, lower the oven heat by 25°F.9. To decorate baked goods or plate with sauces such as caramel, melted chocolate or raspberry sauce, use a squeeze bottle instead of a pastry bag. It can be set in a bowl of hot water to keep its contents fluid.10. For rounded tops on cupcakes, let the batter sit in the liners for 20 minutes before baking.

For those who don't want to invest in a salad spinner due to their size or cost, or because they are just occasional salad eaters, is there another way to dry lettuce? YES! We came across this tip for spinning lettuce dry in something we all have — a pillowcase — and just had to try it out for ourselves. The pillow case should be all cotton, and of course clean! And, if you are a seamstress, you can make a custom lettuce drying case from absorbent all-cotton towels.

Comments On Nov 07, 2012:I have been very happy with this winch, well it is a Warn whos not right. I have had plenty of Warns winches and have always been a fan. These are a must for a machine you can not afford to have stuck in a serious situation. Id call it my back up Insurance.

Comments On Oct 28, 2012:This winch is awesome. Came with all the nuts and bolts needed although I question the grade 8 rating on some of them. I broke a bolt when torquing with a high quality torque wrench. Have used the winch a few times and it seems like it will pull just about anything. Have self rescued a large 4 seat Razor and pulled other large UTVs out. This winch has all the power you will need for a UTV.

Comments On Nov 11, 2010:Mounting it was easy on the Tusk mount. Installation went well but did take a little time routing all the electrical also finding a place for the contactor and remote control controller. I love the Synthetic Rope! My second winch with it and I wont have another without it.

Comments On Dec 23, 2009:After spending a lot of time installing this winch and a Tusk Plow.. I spent a lot of the time trying to figure out why the winch attached to the mounting plate would not fit into the dedicated space. After determining that the roller fairling piece did not need to be installed under the winch ( which the directions were not really clear about ).. I finally figured it out. I do have to say, once I had it installed, the wiring was easy. Quick tip for Polaris Ranger owners on where to mount the switch. Drill a hole on the front inside of the cup holder.. and place it there. You can run the wires right to the connecter near the battery.

Comments On Mar 10, 2008:Seems like a good winch - like the rope instead of cable. The wireless remote seems very helpful. Have not used it much yet! It was difficult to install on my brute force 750 as it was a tight fit with the mounting bracket!

Comments On Jan 12, 2008:The guality of this winch is far superior that the cheap winch that I had to replace after 1 year of use. I can't wait to see the advantages of the synthetic rope. Your price was amazing, it was $200 dollors cheaper than the local dealers around here.

Reflexologists understand that reflexology [4] helps release stress [5], which in turn helps the body heal and regenerate itself.
One theory is that reflexology works with the central nervous system. This theory builds on research done in the 1890s by Sir Henry Head and Sir Charles Sherrington, who began to show through their research that a neurological relationship exists between the skin and the internal organs, and that the whole nervous system adjusts to a stimulus.
According to the theory, the reflexologist's application of pressure to feet, hands, or ears sends a calming message from the peripheral nerves in these extremities to the central nervous system, which in turn signals the body to adjust the tension level. This enhances overall relaxation, brings internal organs and their systems into a state of optimum functioning, and increases blood supply (which brings additional oxygen and nutrients to cells and enhances waste removal). It positively affects the circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, immune, and neuropeptide systems in the body.
Another theory that may also explain how reflexology can produce pain relief is the gate control theory, or, more recently, the neuromatrix theory of pain. This theory suggests that pain is a subjective experience created by your brain. The brain does this in response to the sensory experience of pain, but it can also work independently of sensory input and create pain in response to emotional [6] or cognitive factors. Thus things that influence the brain, such as your mood or external factors like stress can also affect your experience of pain. According to this theory, reflexology may reduce pain by reducing stress [5] and improving mood.
Yet another theory holds that there is a "vital energy" in the human body. If stress is not addressed, it leads to congestion of energy, which in turn causes bodily inefficiencies, which can lead to illness. According to this theory, reflexology helps keep the energy flowing.
The recognition of reflexology as a specific type of treatment began with Zone Theory, in which the body is divided into 10 vertical zones. Each zone corresponds to fingers and toes all the way up to the top of the head. For example, if you are standing up with your hands on your thighs (palms facing down) the thumbs and great toe would be zone 1. On either side of the body, the index finger and second toe would be zone 2, etc.
In reflexology theory, every organ, valve, muscle, etc. that lies within a zone can be accessed via a point or area on the feet or hands. For example, working between toes 2 and 3, or fingers 2 and 3, the eye point is found. These pathways between pressure points and other parts of the body are thought to be connected via the nervous system, as described above.
The zones are similar to, but not the same as meridians found in Chinese medicine [7]. However, there are some correlations with some meridians and the location of organs on the feet and ankles.
There are several principles that guide reflexology practice.
Reflexologists do not heal clients; the body repairs itself. The reflexologist acknowledges that he or she is a participant in the session, rather than "the healer." As with all healing arts, it is important for the practitioner to center and ground themselves and then "get out of the way." This is an acknowledgement that reflexology is offered to help bring the person back into balance so that the body can nurture and repair itself. A reflexologist knows that the purpose of this work is to help the client's body come into alignment with its own energy and ability to heal.
Humans consist of a physical and emotional body, with a mind and spirit. These are interdependent. The reflexologist takes into account all aspects of the client's being: body, emotion, mind, and spirit. A relaxed body induces calm emotions [6], a serene mind, and an integrated spirit.
The body responds to touch which allows healing on all levels. Frequently, clients will think they have to "focus" or "concentrate" to feel the benefits. While being quiet will frequently induce a deeper feeling in the novice, the client needs to have no special skills or habits for reflexology to work. As long as the reflexologist has knowledge, stays centered, and allows the flow of energy to occur, the client will respond positively.
It is possible for practitioners and clients to feel energy move. A reflexologist can sometimes feel the energy move from a point of pressure on feet, hands or ears throughout body. For example, when working on the spleen and gall bladder points, the practitioner can access the points at the same time, and actually feel a flow of energy. Frequently, due to the power of these two points, the client can also feel the flow.

Recipe by SHECOOKS2
"This recipe is easy and foolproof. It makes a very soft and tasty loaf of bread with a flaky crust."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 tablespoons
white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package
bread machine yeast
1/4 cup
vegetable oil
3 cups
bread flour
1 teaspoon
I saw the comments about the loaf's tendancy to fall and would like to suggest adding about 1/2 tsp more salt into your machine when you bake the bread. Salt regulates yeast activity and strengthens dough structure. Too little salt can cause the dough to rise rapidly and then fall. I've seen that for 2 1/4 tsp (.25 oz) of bread machine yeast, the general salt amount is 1.5 tsp. I made this recipe with the extra salt and it turned out really well. It is the best loaf of white bread I've gotten from my machine so far -- and it rose really high (it had me slightly concerned it might over rise). But it was a beautiful loaf in the end.
Don't use canola oil, you have been warned.

This recipe flies in the face of conventional wisdom. It says to place the yeast in the water for 10 minutes before adding the flour! My bread machine instructions, "Electric Bread" cookbook, and even the bottle of yeast said to not allow the yeast to touch the liquid in advance. They all recommend adding water first, then the flour mixture, and yeast on top of that.
Well, what do I have to lose? I tried this recipe the way it was written, and for the first time ever, I had a light fluffy loaf that rose to the top of my machine!
Never has a loaf of bread made from scratch turned out this well. Thank you!
This was the best bread that ever came out of my bread machine yet. On my 2nd loaf, however, I made a few changes: I used 3 Tablespoons sugar and reduced the yeast to 2 teaspoons instead of the 2 1/4 teaspoon measurement that is in the 1 packet that it calls for. This reduced the rising just enough so that the slices near the top of the loaf weren't as "airy" thus, held up better during slicing. Also, instead of using 3 cups of white flour, I substituted 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour and 2 1/2 cups of white, and the result was a lovely, soft, very light white/wheat bread with a flaky crust, perfect for sandwiches! This recipe has become a favorite!
Being new to bread making and having a new bread machine I have been looking for different recipes to try.
It scared me a bit mixing the yeast, sugar, and water together but it all turned out fine. The bread is just great! This is a wonderful white bread recipe that I will be making again and again.
My biggest confusion was that I had Bread Machine Yeast in a jar, not in a packet. After some searching I found that 2 1/4 teaspoons equals one packet of Bread Machine Yeast.
I have to say, I was practically terrified making this bread. It went against the manufacturer's instructions on how to add ingredients (which firmly said to add yeast last, on top of flour). I also only had regular yeast & flour. But... I got my breadmaker yesterday for Christmas and had to try it. It was delicious! It turned out light and fluffy, despite all of my blundering. It wasn't dense at all, like with my mom's bread machine recipe. It tasted just like my grandmother's hand-made recipe- except without all the work! Thanks for the great recipe. Oh, and my third loaf is baking as I type this! *G*
I absolutely love this recipe. Some modifications that I make: I substitue the sugar with 2 very generous tablespoons of honey, add just a pinch extra salt and add 1 tablespoon of softened butter to the bread machine with the other ingredients. I only make the dough in the bread machine, then I take it out and put it in my silicone bread pan, split the top length wise with a knife and stuff the bread with pieces of butter (1 tablespoon total) then I brush the top of the bread with melted butter and bake in a 375 degree preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
I also put a pan with water on the bottom of the oven, i just think the bread comes out so much better that way.
My family loves this recipe, we use the bread for sandwiches, toast and just eat it plain! yummy
This is an excellent starter recipe. I make a few alterations though, as my family likes whole wheat... Here's my exact recipe. This makes a 2-lb loaf.
1-1/3 cups warm water (about 115°)
3.5 tsp bread machine yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup oil
2 cups bread flour (essential to be bread flour!)
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tbls gluten (or 1 tbls per cup of ww flour)
2 tsp salt
1/4 cup dry milk powder (makes the crust flaky)
Follow the directions in the original recipe. I like to bake mine inthe oven however. I find that the dough cycle is actually too long on my machine if you use bread machine yeast (1.5 hours), because the end of it is a rise cycle, which I want done in my bread pan. The reason for this is that bread machine yeast actually cuts out the need for a second rise. So, after the final pulse cycle (you'll have to pay attention to your machine to see when this is -- mine is at 50 minutes into the dough cycle), take it out, shape it into your loaf and place it your pan to rise for 30 minutes. Then, bake it at 350° for about 25 minutes. Bread should be brown on top, not just golden.
Let the loaf cool completely before cutting! I also like to smear the crust with butter to keep it soft, but if you like really crusty crust, then don't do that.
I've tried many recipes, and this is by far the best basic bread recipe I've found. It's perfect for sandwiches, french toast, or anything else you'd use store-bought bread for.

Yes No Hands-on research What's in the box? | In-depth notes What's in the box? 72mm UV(0) filter in plastic case Product Research Features Overview: The Hoya EVO UV(0) filter is designed to absorb ultraviolet (UV) rays to give you clearer, sharper outdoor pictures with less haze. EVO filters are made in Japan using precision optical glass, using an Improved Super Multi-coating (IS-HMC) formula to greatly reduce or eliminate reflections off the surface of the glass. The filters are overlayed with a clear water and stain-resistant coating that is easy to clean. All of the coating layers are applied in a furnace to bond the coating to the glass. Aluminum Filter Frame: Hoya EVO filters have a very low-profile aluminum filter frame (only 5mm) to house the glass. This keeps the filter glass perfectly parallel to the plane of the CCD or COS sensor, while providing enough rigidity to last for years. Lens Protection: UV filters are many times used to protect the lens from fingerprints, dirt, and scratches, and can be kept on the lens at all times. Our Product Research Team At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

En español | Are you a skim milk movie lover, or a whole cream movie lover? Do you treasure movies that confirm your view of the world, or ones that force you to look at life in ways you never expected? Do you insist on nodding in agreement with what the characters in a movie say and do, or do you occasionally want to feel the impulse to stand up and shake your fist at the screen?
Answer carefully, because your response reveals whether or not you are a true lover of Movies for Grownups.
Here, I'll make it easy for you: If you really want to have your ticket punched as a bonafide grownup movie lover, you absolutely have to see the movies listed below. No excuses. Each one either pointed the direction in which movies would go, or assimilated the lessons of the past in a breathtakingly new way.
No Sound of Music here. No Gone With the Wind. No Titanic, Star Wars or Shrek. It's time to put on your Big Boy Pants, erase your lame old Netflix queue, and rediscover what real movies are all about.
You got a problem with that? Then tell us what movies YOU think belong on the list of Required Movies for Grownups. Use the "tell us what you think" box below or join us on the message board we just started to discuss your movie favorites. I'll weigh in when I can.
Lawrence of Arabia, 1962
The Ultimate Epic
The endless desert, the sword-wielding armies, the sweep of history. Director David Lean jammed his wide screen with swirling action, placed blue-eyed newcomer Peter O'Toole at the center and created a sprawling masterpiece that defined the high-water mark for movie spectacle.
See also: More on Peter O'Toole and his other movies.
Casablanca, 1942
Romance Grows Up
In this one, the boy (Humphrey Bogart) loses the girl (Ingrid Bergman) before the movie even starts. The question is, what is he willing to do to get her back? Casablanca's enraptured audiences learned that love stories can often find an unsteady resolution somewhere in an impenetrable fog.
The Producers, 1968
Comedy as Catharsis
Determined to mount a flop Broadway musical for tax purposes, Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder stage the sure-fire failure Springtime for Hitler. Every "shock" comedy since then owes a debt to writer/director Mel Brooks — but not one of them gets its laughs with such profound insight into the delicate balance between tragedy and hilarity.

Lady Bucs Fall to Georgia Southern, 75-71
Monday, December 31, 2001JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (December 31, 2001) -- Georgia Southern senior guard Alie Rousseau scored a career-high 27 points on 10-14 shooting to lead the Lady Eagles to a 75-71 victory over East Tennessee State Monday night from Memorial Center. The Lady Eagles (5-6, 2-1 SoCon) led for most of the first half. Georgia Southern built their lead to as many as nine after a layup by Sarah Davis made the score 29-20 with 5:30 remaining in the half. But ETSU (7-5, 2-1) closed the first stanza with a late flurry, taking the halftime lead, 40-39, after a Megan Jackson (Paris, Tenn.) layup with just 24 seconds remaining in the half. The two teams traded the lead three times within the first five minutes of the first half. Rousseau helped Georgia Southern establish a 51-48 lead with 14:52 remaining after hitting consecutive three-pointers. With 13:25 left in the game, two Ashley Reed (Barrackville, W.Va) free throws would cut the Georgia Southern advantage to just one point, 53-52. Following the free throws, the Lady Eagles would go on a 14-5 run to build their lead to a game-high 10 points, 67-57, with 7:50 remaining in the game. The Lady Bucs would claw back and cut the Georgia Southern lead to just two, 73-71, with 1:14 left in the game. But the Lady Eagles held off ETSU for the victory. Jackson continued her hot play of late for ETSU, scoring a team-high 14 points on 6-10 shooting. She also pulled down a team-high seven rebounds in the loss. Sophomore forward Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.) had 12 points on the night and Reed chipped in with 11 points on the night. This marks the eighth consecutive game that the freshman guard has scored in double-digits. Rousseau shot 7-8 from three-point range and also pulled down a game-high eight rebounds for Georgia Southern. Guard Sarah Davis (13) and Shawnica Hill (11) also scored in double-digits for the Lady Eagles. Guard Danna Simpson dished out a game-high seven assists in the contest. The Lady Bucs return to action on Jan. 5 at 1 p.m. against Appalachian State from Memorial Center. Georgia Southern will return home to face College of Charleston on Jan. 5 at 1 p.m. from Statesboro, Ga.
