All about me
I was born in Birmingham and have lived in Oscott for 30 years. I was elected as a local Councillor for Oscott in 1996 after years of various community activities. I have never wanted to represent another area as I personally believe you should represent the area you live and care about.
Becoming a local Councillor was for me a natural progression given my interest in the community especially the elderly and disabled. I have also always been interested in improving road safety, the environment and crime prevention. Being a Councillor puts you in a position where you can do more things for the community, which is why I wanted to become one. I now have my personal blog where you can find out what I am up to.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football coach Bret Bielema said he refrained from studying the returning Razorbacks on film when he arrived last December.
The reason? He wanted to evaluate players by getting his hands on them a few times this winter. Bielema didn't want to enter those workouts with any preconceived notions as the Razorbacks began to build their new foundation.
"I really believe that first impressions last a lifetime," Bielema said earlier this month. "I'm a big believer in that saying. I didn't want my first impression to be anything other than the truth. So I didn't watch a lot of film of our guys until we had a chance to work with them on a daily basis in winter drills."
Bielema has now learned plenty about his group from winter drills through the program's first three spring practice sessions. The evaluation process continues today, when Arkansas returns to the field for its fourth practice this spring.
The Razorbacks are back after taking a week off for spring break and will enter the meat of their 15-practice schedule, which is expected to include some of its first significant scrimmage work later this week. Arkansas will practice three times a week over the next month, finishing with the Red-White game on April 20.
Bielema – who jotted down plenty of notes on personnel during the first three practices earlier this month — said one of the first goals is making sure players know what is expected of them on the practice field. Now he plans to get more hands on with the group as the spring rolls on this week.
"The kids will probably even tell you I've become a little more vocal with each practice, because I didn't want to jump all over a kid for the first day if that really wasn't what he was," said Bielema, who has been the only coach or player available to comment on the first week of practice. "I understand kids were going to be nervous, excited, anxious. As I get to know them, they'll get to know me."
Bielema did offer plenty of tidbits on what he has learned so far last Friday, when he met with the media a day after turning his team free for spring break.
Some examples: Bielema believes senior Travis Swanson has the tools needed to become the best center in college football. Tight end Demetrius Dean's skills are better suited for the fullback position in Arkansas' offense. Junior college transfer Mike Tavares is raw, but the team's "most athletic linebacker" by far. And running back Nate Holmes is "one of the most explosive players" he has been around.
The evaluation process has taken place behind closed doors by design. Bielema kept coaches and players isolated from the public to try to get on the same page.
Workouts will remain that way Tuesday and Thursday before the gates are opened to the media for the first time Saturday. The unveiling could reveal some players in new positions as well, although Bielema said none of the changes would be drastic.
The coaching staff won't be against trying a guard at center, sliding a cornerback to safety, or evaluating a linebacker at defensive end in spring drills as they try to find the best fit for the program moving forward.
"We just met as a staff and went through the depth chart from A-Z and there are a couple kids we are going to talk to," Bielema said last week.
The product on the field should look different as well under a new staff. It's especially true on offense, where Arkansas is moving away from a pass-based attack that featured several veterans now preparing for the 2013 NFL Draft.
So Bielema doesn't expect to have everything installed this spring on either side of the ball. In fact, the Razorbacks slowed the installation process during its first week to make sure players were comfortable with what they're being asked to do.
Belem's goal is to make sure they improve each day they're on the field. So his message to his assistants is simple as the evaluation process continues today.
"Don't hurry and make it average," Bielema said. "Slow it down and make it great."

Where Break-Ins Happen
Before you head out for that hard-earned trip to the shore or mountains, take a moment to batten down the hatches at home. Summertime is peak season for house thefts, according to the Burglary Prevention Council, which keeps statistics on where intruders break in. The good news: You don't need an expensive high-tech alarm system. A few well-placed (and well-priced) locks and security devices will do the trick.

This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
I'm a big fan of Wordpress. If you are planning on hosting it yourself, you can use plugins, in which case the Events Calendar plugin looks pretty good. Wordpress makes it pretty to publish content, and the support is very decent. If you are not going to host it yourself, you can use Wordpress.com, but they do not have plugins available for Wordpress hosted sites.
Wordpress is a great blogging platform, but it also works surprisingly well for a simple CMS.
I am surprised nobody mentioned Google Sites.
You can start from a template. Most templates allow the admin to manage articles, an image gallery, and a calendar.
I know contao its an easier Typo3 clone but its much smaller and not so complicated. And you get a lot of plugins.
Have a look at Weebly or Orbs.
Both with free and paid versions, simple/easy to use...
Note: I am not affiliated with either of these products, just have used them in the past...
Why dont you consider a blogging site ?All your needs will be met and you dont have to worry about hosting and other hassles .
Why done you try veolay, http://www.veolay.com, its not a cms, its a light cms, perfect for editing static content online and its not a hosted service, so its will run smooth on your own server.

Hello everyone,
I just ordered the NN5 and am really looking forward to using it.
I noticed that the Nikon D90 is not listed in the "Camera settings" link. I understand the process to find the "no parallax point" is straightforward, but I'd be interested if anyone has settings for the D90 with either the Nikon 10.5mm or the 18-200mm VR lens for the NN5. This would help me as a starting point and also confiirm my own results.
Thank you for any help on this!

What practical application can we expect from particle physics a century or two from now? What use can we make of quark-gluon plasmas or strange quarks? How can we harness W- and Z-bosons or the Higgs boson? Nuclear physics has given us nuclear plants and the promise of fusion power in the near future. What about particle physics? If we extend our timeframe, what promise does string theory give us? Can we make use of black holes?

If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Allow me to answer your question with some quotes:
Also, I couldn't find a good quote for this one, but it was widely believed that number theory was an abstract mathematical discipline with no practical application. Now it is the basis of all modern cryptography.
Basically the idea I'm trying to get across is that it's impossible to predict the future applications of basic research.
Quantum Chromodynamics, the electroweak theory, or general theory of relativity - or quantum gravity and string theory - are not methods to obtain new devices; they're theories meant to understand the truth about the Universe.
I find it unlikely that any of those things will become practically useful. It may still hypothetically happen, but if it will, no one can predict how this could happen at present - but even if those things happen to have practical applications sometime in the future, that's not why they've been and why they are being studied.
The experimental testing of these theories, and further assuming we might be able to test string theory sometime in the next decades, will result in new methods of detection, new techniques in data management and filtering signal from noise, and push other developments. These may then be transferable to other applications. The Apollo lunar program had a similar effect, though we brought nothing back from the moon which had any great utility.
You asked for speculation, so here is outlandish speculation:
We can do engineering all the way down to the atomic scale. The reason is that life is made of atoms, and biology is complicated processes capable of general purpose computation, so atoms can do complicated things. There is no reason that we should be able to do engineering with nuclei, because our universe doesn't embed life in nuclear structures.
But that doesn't mean that you can't try. Suppose you could build a pion laser, and stabilize it by the appropriate methods, by surrounding it with the appropriate reflectors to prevent 2-photon decay, or change to charged pion very quickly to prevent decay, or ... I don't know, or else this wouldn't be speculation. Then you would be able to do nuclear engineering, meaning move nuclei around like you move atoms with light lasers, and pump energy into hadronic states at will, not by collisions, but by engineering. Without good bosonic fields which you can manipulate over relatively large scales, there is no hope for any of this.
Using a pion laser, you might be able to blow up elementary particles in a spherically symmetric way, like balloons, and let them collapse onto themselves to make black holes. This requires a controlled implosion, because the mass of a nuclear scale black hole is that of a mountain. If you can somehow make a symmetric implosion which shrinks the pumped up hadron by 10 orders of magnitude, to get some black hole states at some heavy but achievable mass, you can make monopoles, black holes, strings, and turn anything into energy.
I spent many hours of my youth trying to make this hopelessly futuristic idea work, because it is the only hope we have of investigating the Planck scale by even speculatively achievable technology. I think this type of thing might work out in 200 years, and produce a monopole-driven total mass-energy converter.
Here are some possible applications of neutrinos
Submarine neutrino communication
Demonstration of Communication using Neutrinos
Searching for cavities of various densities in the Earth's crust with a low-energy electron-antineutrino beta-beam
I feel quite sure that we will have technological breakthroughs but i think the most important findings will successfully link perception/awareness/consciousness with the so called external universe.
There are applications of particle theory. Well, it depends on what you call particle theory. There are projects of sensors which use neutrons to detect explosives (google gave me e.g. this paper). To develop such a device excellent understanding of particle physics is needed. Neutrino telescopes will be perfect devices to study the Sun and the Earth core soon. Which is useful for weather and cataclysms prediction. You might think that these applications are too engineering, but you never know which tiny details you need, so you have to discover all of them.
For astrophysics one of interesting applications I've heard of is using pulsars as a positioning system. Instead of expensive and short-living sattelites which work only at the Earth you may use perfectly stable coordinate system which is Ok for few light years off the home planet. It is not string theory, but just an example of engineering stuff which comes out of pure science in an extremely unexpected way.
Speaking of science fiction, which you probably had in mind. String theory studies time and space. Right now we may operate (or at least know how to operate) on matter (all conventional technoloies, nuclar stuff, etc), fields (radio) and combination of the two (lasers and similar). The thing which is impossible to control is gravitation. General relativity explains why: gravitation is tightly connected with space and time itself. However, it does not explain all the details. To know the details we will need string theory or its successor/competitor. XX century taught us that you can be never sure that you know everything (see citations from Lord Kelvin). Small but annoying problem of inconsistency between general relativity and quantum mechanics might produce as many new physics as "small problem" with atomic spectra. Or it might not. You never know.
Cultural enrichment.
Let me explain. String theory is a work of art. Art has no practical application, you say? No! It is practical in enriching culture and uplifting the emotions of mankind. So is string theory. The emotional satisfaction that you get out of it. Shout it out to the whole world!
We fund art, so why not string theory! Oh, yeah!

The Best Summer Getaway for Gal Pals
Posted by admin in Golf Packages, Golfing in the Tetons, Womens Vacation on August 1st, 2012
It was an easy sell talking a few of my best girlfriends into visiting me in Teton Valley this summer. A trip to Idaho and Wyoming was especially enticing for those from the east coast. They were literally wilting on the vine, like Iowa corn, and thus crazed to escape the heat and humidity that overtook the country with vengeance this summer. It's been almost unbearable everywhere but here. I never take it for granted how lucky we are to live in the Teton Mountains and how silly it is for others not to put this area on the top of their bucket list for places to visit. Pick a season, any season. They're all special for the unique adventures they offer, but summer – ah, I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for summer in the Tetons.
This was not the first rodeo for most of my guests but their past excursions to the Rockies have always entailed ski parkas, snow boots and powder ski lessons. They had never experienced green grass under their feet or have been lulled to sleep from the comforting sound the aspens make on a breezy summer night. They were also thrilled at the chance to don the latest outdoor warm-weather, mountain-worthy apparel; shorts, shirts and even hats properly sealed with SPF 45, brand spankin' new hiking boots worthy of scaling Mount Everest, and back packs so technical I feared we would never figure out what all the secret pockets were really intended for. I had to chuckle when I saw them depart the plane on a recent perfect late July afternoon in Jackson Hole, greeted in a full embrace by the Tetons and the legendary cloudless Wyoming sky.
Each and every one of the ladies arrived looking like models in a photo shoot for Patagonia, Mountain Hardware or NorthFace, all outdoor product companies known for their wilderness chic. Bewildered, I had to wonder, where were my old familiar friends, who not too long ago would have greeted me in consignment store t-shirts, worn sneaks and battered Yankee caps? However, the same infectious enthusiasm for pursuing anything outdoors was still there; I was relieved. If the old adage that "the clothing makes the man" is true, than we were now ready to tackle anything this Yellowstone-Teton area had to throw at us!
The group rented a cabin at Teton Springs Resort. Please note, I use the word "cabin" lightly here; these log mountain homes are, how do I put it – Ooh La La! Teton Springs Lodge & Spa has a great mix of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom cabins to choose from and they're all unique, incredibly elegant but cozy too. But the best part, Teton Springs prices these accommodations insuring you don't have to incur heavy debt to sample the lap of luxury; it's truly amazing how affordable they are for a family or group of friends.
You also have the option of staying in one of the Lodge guest rooms or an elegant one and two-bedroom suite, which come equipped with a full kitchen, living room, fireplace, large balcony and your own whirlpool tub (with lodge accommodations you're also only steps away from the Stillwaters Spa!)
The gorgeous kitchens in the cabins provided a homey atmosphere but my friends never pulled out a single pot or pan. After all, this was a real vacation right?! The Headwaters Grille consistently provided a delicious break from our action packed visit, and the view was so easy on the eye. This cozy eatery overlooks the first fairway of the Headwaters Golf Club and there were plenty of interesting menu selections, keeping us happy and content for days. There's also the new Sage Gourmet Café, an intimate and relaxing bistro that is quickly becoming a popular hangout for anyone looking for a unique snack, lighter dinner fare and signature cocktail. The Sage turned into our very own clubhouse of sorts, and between delectable nibbles created by Chef Jenna; we enjoyed a competitive game of bean bag toss on the expansive lawn in front of the lodge (no athletic skill required).
It's no surprise that the hiking in this area is world-class, and no, you don't need expedition worthy hiking boots. Tennis shoes will suffice on most regional hikes.
Road trips with the girls naturally included exploring the town of Jackson Hole, definitely an adventure in itself. The ride over is almost worth the price of admission, truly breathtaking. Be sure to stop at the 10,000 foot summit for that group photo and a panorama that duly impressed even my gaggle of seasoned travelers. Hiking to the top of Snow King Mountain can be a grunt for sea level dwellers but the ladies were game. It's just steps from downtown Jackson and so green and lush as you traverse this 1.8 mike trail ascending 1,500 vertical feet. Luckily there is a snack shop at the top and the ice cream treat was definitely justified. There's a lot to explore in Jackson and believe me, we didn't miss much. The luggage going home was stuffed with delicious custom turquoise baubles, hand stitched cowboy hats, and western boots decorated with every crazy color of the rainbow. My friends no doubt made a fashion statement at the local rodeo.
Fly fishing for the neophyte can be challenging until you get the hang of it. The folks at Teton Springs make the learning curve as painless as possible with instruction offered thru the resort's Sport Club. You'll quickly pick up the tricks of the trade from the local and good spirited fly fishing aficionados. The resort's numerous private ponds and lakes offer an unintimidating and mellow environment to show off that perfect cast. My friends are now feeling pretty cocky about their new skill set and ready to snag that giant rainbow trout on the nearby Snake River. We'll see.
After a few days of exploring the region, my friends were more than ready for a few days at the pool and ready to sample the activities in the Teton Springs neighborhood: golfing on the Headwaters Course (my pals loved the par 3 course!), mountain biking and hiking in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest that borders this property, tennis, hot tubing, Yoga (private sessions for just you and your pals can be arranged), basketball, weight lifting, wine tasting, and more.
The girls weren't prepared for just how enticing the Stillwaters Spa truly is at Teton Springs. They were mentally committed to spending literally every minute they were here pursuing outdoor adventures – that is until they stepped inside the spa. Suffice to say, a few of our planned hikes had to be rescheduled to make time for a deep tissue massage and the ever mind blowing hydraquench.
The list of things to do is indeed mind boggling – whitewater & scenic river rafting, canoeing, scenic chairlift rides, hot air ballooning, kayaking, more mountain biking, even more hiking, museums, rodeos and music festivals.
It was tough saying good-bye to my good buddies, but comfort in knowing they'll be back. There's already talk of a future autumn trip, when the mountains scream with color and the air crystal clear. The girls will again be forced to make the tough decisions every day they're here: what to do, what to do, what to do next?!
I also hear rumblings that their husbands are now scheming and planning their own guys' trip to the Tetons. Who could blame them?!

Carpenter granted release
Former Ferry police chief given judicial release
September 28, 2013
ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Former Martins Ferry Police Chief Barry Carpenter will be released from incarceration. Carpenter, 43, appeared Friday before Belmont County Common Pleas Court Judge John M....
This guy needs church bc in my eyes, he is worse than a criminal. He is the very reason people have a dislike for cops. They pick and harass. They ride people's bumpers till they get nervous and swerve. It is plan sickning what cops get away with nowadays.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Overcrowding is the likely culprit. Better that he earn a living on the outside than receive a free ride inside.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I think Carpenter would have continued his ways had he not be caught. With his "holier-than-thou" disposition, I cannot imagine how many times he may have violated the rights of offenders (DUI/Disorderly Conduct/etc) while he was the Chief and a patrolman. The kind of nightmarish power-hungry cop everyone fears and dreads. He should NOT have been granted early release.
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Being he was a not only a police officer but the CHIEF of police he should have done double time with no parole. Sickening..A homeless guy would do more time for shoplifting food if caught three times.
0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Knew this would happen. So, Carpenter said he was sorry, and that was it? Sorry, an elected public official should not even come close to these kind of actions. He should have served his time like we all would have had to do! The slap on the wrist of a 6 month stay at the EOCC country club will not teach him anything except the fact that he beat the system like many crooked law enforcement officers do. He will not learn anything, and this whole situation, especially Carpenter...Makes me sick!

The upgrade will increase the Singapore plant's capacity to produce polyols -- industrial chemicals used to make high-quality foams -- by more than 100,000 metric tpy to 360,000 tpy. The company didn't provide any financial details but said it expects to complete the upgrade in 2014.

Royal Dutch Shell said Tuesday it will increase capacity at
its Singapore petrochemical plant to meet demand
for specialized materials used in the automotive and furniture
The upgrade will increase the plant's capacity to produce
polyols -- industrial chemicals used to make high-quality foams
-- by more than 100,000 metric tpy to 360,000 tpy, Shell said
in an emailed statement.
It didn't provide any financial details but said it expects
to complete the upgrade in 2014.
"The Asia Pacific market for polyols has grown rapidly over
the years and we see increasing demand for higher-comfort
products," said Shell Chemicals executive vice president Graham
van't Hoff.
"The additional volume and grades from this Singapore
investment will enable us to meet customer demand growth from
key markets in Asia, particularly China," he added.
Late last year, Shell said it would upgrade capacity at the
unit of its Singapore plant that produces olefins and aromatics
-- chemicals used to make plastic, paint and other

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

WEIRTON -Tickets are now on sale for the Taste of Home Cooking School with culinary specialist Michael Barna, hosted by the Herald-Star and The Weirton Daily Times.
The cooking school will take place April 2 at the Serbian-American Cultural Center located at 1000 Colliers Way. The doors open at 5 p.m., and the show, featuring 10 dishes prepared on stage by Barna, begins at 7 p.m.
"I love being on stage, entertaining and sharing my love of cooking," said Barna. "It's all about bringing the family back to the table."

Barna will prepare seasonal recipes that can be re-created by cooks of any skill level, using readily available ingredients. He also will be sharing time-saving tips. The two-and-a-half hour show will include appetizers, entrees and desserts.
"My goal is to teach the audience how to easily make the 10 recipes we show and have fun being in the kitchen doing it," said Barna. "I work very closely with the master of ceremonies and stage assistants to ensure the attendees have a great time and never let it get boring. I have many years of having to get it right where time and ease in the kitchen really paid off, so I share everything I've learned with the audience. After going through the pre-show vendor area and giving away as many gifts as we do at a show, it's not hard to feel good talking about cooking."
Before Barna became a culinary specialist for the Taste of Home Cooking School in Greendale, Wis., he served as an executive chef and general manager at a gourmet food emporium in New York City. His love of family food can be traced back to his grandmother's Hungarian cooking, which he describes as "comfort food from loving hands."
"I would run to my grandmother's house a field away for dinner in the tiny town of Port Murrary, N.J.," he said. "She would ask, 'what would you like to eat,' and literally start taking out a smorgasbord of entrees, sides and desserts she had already made. One day I asked if I could help prepare the meal, and that's where it all began."
He has been cooking since he was 13, and earned his associate of occupational studies degree from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y.
"I started washing dishes at a retirement home at 13, then moved up to prep cook at a local country club at 16, where the chef mentored me and guided me in applying to the Culinary Institute of America, where he had recently graduated," he said. "I was asked once, 'If cooking didn't work out, did you have a Plan B?' but I remember my dad told me, 'you should never have a Plan B, because then you never fully commit to your Plan A.'"
He has facilitated private and online cooking classes, appeared in local and national television commercials, and been featured in national recipe showcases.
"Ask any performer - if you're prepared for the show, it feels fantastic," he said. "I have learned it's never just about you, but if you do your homework and put in the time and effort, everything falls into place. I was taught preparation is everything."
His favorite part of live shows is interacting with the audience and stage assistants before, during and after the show.
"Some of the nicest people want to tell you their stories of successes and failures, and I love to listen," he said. "My second favorite part is the food in the towns I'm in and the chefs and owners who run the restaurants. I'll always ask if anything is fresh or from scratch, or I'll ask my waiter, 'You're eating here tonight, what are you eating?' That usually gets me the best they have to offer. When pasta or bread, lavish or gelato or most anything is made from scratch at the table, the end result is typically terrific."
Barna has helped open three gourmet casino restaurants in Atlantic City and spent time as executive sous chef at a five-diamond, four-star hotel in Philadelphia.
"A great dish always starts with your eyes, what something looks like on the plate," he said. "Aroma of the dish always is a indication of how wonderful it may be. Additionally, textures also are a big factor of a great dish - crunchy, soft, al dente. All these are the first impressions your mind receives from your tongue. A great dish should have flavor upon flavor upon flavor - flavor profiling or layering. Salty, sweet, tart, spicy, bitter are just some of the flavor layering that make up a great dish. It's always easy to tell when someone is eating something great - the smile, then the 'mmm', and, last, the low, slow 'wow.' I truly believe anyone can train themselves to taste and cook well. I always teach taste constantly while you cook. It's important for the 'wow' factor."
He also has worked as a culinary hand model.
"Just watch a commercial on television, and any time you see only a male or female hand on the screen with the product, 99 percent of the time, it's a hand model," he said. "I mainly do culinary work. My wife had the brilliant idea that I'm versed in using kitchen tools and comfortable in kitchens and have been doing this hand modeling thing, so who better to represent a product and do it correctly. I've done ads for Crisco, Lancaster brand meats, Herr's chips and was Mel Gibson's hand double in 'Signs' - I chopped the alien's fingers off."
In his spare time, Berna enjoys drumming, motocross, watching classic movies and great food. He lives in Wynnewood, Pa., with his wife.
"The Taste of Home Cooking School is always one of our biggest promotions of the year," said Ross Gallabrese, executive editor of the Herald-Star and The Weirton Daily Times. "This year's edition has been made bigger and better, and we're sure residents from around the Tri-State Area will enjoy the entire experience."
The show is sponsored in cooperation with Hancock County Savings Bank, Weirton Medical Center and Create-A-Room. Kelli McCoy of Lex Multi-Media will be mistress of ceremonies. M&M Hardware and Frank and Jerry's Appliances also are show sponsors.
"The Taste of Home Cooking School is a great event for area residents, whether you are an experienced cook or just starting out," said Craig Howell, Weirton Daily Times managing editor. "We've had a packed house every year, and I'm sure it will be no different this time around."
Tickets start at $10 for general admission, $20 for preferred seating and $45 for VIP tickets.
VIP ticket holders may attend a special meet-and-greet reception with Barna, sponsored by the Serbian- American Cultural Center, including refreshments, beginning at 4:30 p.m. at the center's Tesla Lounge; receive a free autographed copy of "Taste of Home Best Loved Recipes"; and have reserved seating in the front of the auditorium. Only 50 VIP tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
Preferred seating ticket holders will be seated immediately behind the VIP ticket holders, and preferred seating is limited.
All those attending will receive goody bags including Taste of Home magazines, coupons and samples. Ticket stubs will be drawn for door prizes throughout the event.
Tickets are available at the Herald-Star and Daily Times office at 401 Herald Square in Steubenville; the Weirton Shop'n Save, located at Pennsylvania Avenue and Penco Road in Weirton; and M&M Hardware on Sunset Boulevard in Steubenville.
"We are so excited to offer VIP tickets this year - it's a brand new experience for our cooks," said Maggie McGinnis, inside sales supervisor at the newspapers. "Not only do they receive VIP seating and 'Best Loved Recipes,' but they'll be able to have one-on-one time with Michael."
During the event, those attending may purchase copies of "Taste of Home Best Loved Recipes," a $35 retail value, for $25. The book includes more than 1,400 recipes in more than a dozen categories and hundreds of color photographs. Several other cookbooks will be available, including "Taste of Home Cooking School Cookbook," "Taste of Home Winning Recipes Volume 3" and "Taste of Home Ground Beef Recipes," at as special discount rate. These cookbooks also will be available for purchase at the Herald-Star and Daily Times office at a future date.
In addition to the cooking show, a vendor show, including more than 30 vendors offering a variety of products, will be held. Additional vendors are being accepted. For information on becoming a vendor, contact McGinnis at (740) 283-4711, extension 328.
The Tesla Lounge will have a buffet available from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. A prize drawing will be held, with the winner receiving their choice of either a Webber gas grill or a patio set, supplied by M&M Hardware. The drawing will be open to the general public, and tickets will be available for purchase at the Herald-Star and Daily Times office at a future date.

What is the pronunciation difference between collar and color? Can a native speaker tell them apart?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Yes, native speakers can easily differentiate these words.
If you have trouble with IPA, you can try pronouncing them this way (for American English):
color ≈ culler (the vowel is a short "uh" sound)
collar ≈ caller (the syllable following c is just like the word all)
You might try practicing with a sentence like "What color is your collar?" and overemphasize the differences until you get used to the sound.
The vowel sound is slightly more open in collar [ɑ] than in color [ʌ].
English pronunciation is not always easy for non native speakers.
A good thing is to be able to read the IPA. Most bilingual paper dictionaries will give the pronunciation of words in the IPA.
An on the Wiktionary, the Freedictionary and lots of others.
On the University of Iowa website there is a very good flash animation that shows all the movements involved when pronouncing each vowel.
The difference is quite clear in British pronunciation. Colour is /ˈkʌlə/, rhyming with duller. Collar is /ˈkɒlə(r)/, rhyming with dollar. (I realize those rhymes may not be much help if duller and dollar sound the same in American pronunciation.)
For "collar" you say "caw", opening your mouth to about half-open as you say the vowel.
For "color" you say "cuh", keeping your mouth just barely ajar.
In both cases, the second syllable is just lrrr.
Color is pronounced much shorter than collar. Pronouncing collar you spend a bit more time on the first coll- part.
Approximate to Kollar (gentle r) and Culla in British English.
What color was the caller's collar? Thinking about the differences makes me question my pronunciation (and kind of makes my brain hurt). The OP had a good question and the answer varies depending on accent. I pronounce color like cahler, but my husband says culler. My pronunciation of collar is similar to that of color, the difference is very subtle and I don't know how to describe it - for color my tongue is more forward giving a slightly more open/hollow vowel. For caller I say cawler - but not with a southern drawl. My husband pronounces collar and caller the same - cahler.

I noticed that there is a lot of (quite expensive) Fjällräven outdoors gear for sale here in Germany and am curious whether this is a brand worth looking into, or whether their products are more trendy than practical. Is Fjällräven a reputable supplier of serious outdoors gear?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Fjällräven is a solid decades old brand.
However, it may be considered very trendy and therefore be over priced in Germany. You should check the prices on Swedish net sites.

12 Essential Camping Suppliesby Erin Dower
Camping can be a fun and cheap family activity or vacation. But you do need quite a few supplies to manage life in the great outdoors. Find out what you'll need to pack for your next camping adventure, and remember to check with your campground to see if they supply items like picnic tables and firewood, and whether fully functional restrooms are available. Consider doing a test-run in your backyard if your family is new to camping. Also, check out the best camping foods and recipes!
1 of 13
This seems like a no-brainer. Unless you're sleeping under the stars or you have a camper or RV, don't forget the obvious: a tent! If you haven't camped since last year, open up your tent to air it out, make sure it's not musty or moldy, and check that you have all the poles, stakes, and the fly, or the extra fabric or tarp that goes over the top to help keep rain out. Sometimes tents don't fit as many people as they advertise, so check the measurements and user reviews when you're buying one.

Tracheostomy (tray-key-OS-tuh-me) is a surgically created hole through the front of your neck and into your windpipe (trachea). The term for the surgical procedure to create this opening is tracheotomy.
A tracheostomy provides an air passage to help you breathe when the usual route for breathing is somehow obstructed or impaired. A tracheostomy is often needed when health problems require long-term use of a machine (ventilator) to help you breathe. In rare cases, an emergency tracheotomy is performed when your airway is suddenly blocked, such as after a traumatic injury to your face or neck.
When a tracheostomy is no longer needed, it's allowed to heal shut or is surgically closed. For some people, a tracheostomy is permanent.

Hey there!
I got my UX21A three days ago and there are some issues, using Ubuntu 12.04...
Since, there are reports of similar (if not the same) issues on UX31A, this thread should address these two models...
* some Fn-Keys do not work
* keyboard-backlight won't turn off
* Power-Key doesn't show Power-Menu.. it does nothing instead, when pressed..
(* wifi disconnects often (but signal is very good!), latency is sometimes very high (up to 1000ms, but only on 802.11a - 5GHz)) -- might be just an issue for me...
* brightness sensor (does ubuntu already handle those kind of data?)
* keyboard-backlight turns off after closing lid and go to standby
* standby doesn't always work when closing lid (then you have to use the Suspend-Fn-Key...)
* power saving is not quite perfect, I only get about 5,5~6h of battery life (using same tweaks as for UX21E)
* there are random freezes, once or twice a day, using latest (and earlier) shipped kernel of Ubuntu 12.04 (linux 3.2.0-26), this issue is not present in Kernel 3.4 and higher (using mainline kernel 3.4.0, but power consuption is ~1W higher (equals 30 minutes!) with this kernel)
* webcam
* incl. USB-LAN-Adapter
Not tested yet:
* suspend do disk
* Micro-HDMI
* incl. VGA-Adapter
Now, do you have any idea, how to bring these Fn-Keys to life?
Kind regards

- Finalize the incorporation, sign papers approving Bylaws, etc.
- write down the membership plan including suggested monthly dues so we can present it to the members in time to give them at least SOME discussion time
- Solve the *current* key issue to the best of our ability. I'd like to talk about transitive trust, etc.
- Work on a plan for consensus (in meetings and inter-board).
- Come up with a way to ensure meetings do not introduce new topics to be decided on the spot (per Rachel's request). Hopefully we can also come up with a format for meetings that we can all agree upon (no railroading, ensuring people are heard, etc).
- Discuss insurance issues.
- Resolve our interpersonal differences if possible (it seems possible to me).
- Air all of our grievances of the last few days.

BP, Statoil Fear for Nine Missing Employees
Two oil majors operating the Algerian natural-gas facility seized this week by militants said nine expatriate staff remained unaccounted for late Saturday.
BP BP 1.21 % PLC Chief Executive Bob Dudley said the company was unable to confirm the location of four expatriates working at the facility near In Amenas. He said 14 others who were at the gas facility when armed militants attacked the remote site Wednesday were safe.
Meanwhile, Norway's Statoil ASA STO 0.44 % said five employees remained unaccounted for. A sixth had been found Saturday; in a video recording broadcast from Algeria by Norwegian TV, the man said he had hidden in his room from the start of the attack until he was rescued Saturday.
Statoil Chief Executive Helge Lund said he had spoken to employees who had survived the siege, and "they describe actions so unbelievable that I can't understand anybody can do such things to others."
Mr. Dudley and Mr. Lund both indicated they were bracing for the worst on the missing employees. "We are facing difficult hours and days ahead," Mr. Lund said.
BP and Statoil operate the site in partnership with Algerian state oil company Sonatrach.
The oil industry is reeling from the scale of the attack, which Mr. Dudley described as an "unprovoked violent assault by heavily armed murderers."
Mr. Dudley said the company had already withdrawn 25 of the 56 BP expatriate employees that were working in locations throughout the country as a precautionary measure, but he said BP remained committed to Algeria and its "high-quality assets" and intended to return to normal operations there as soon as the circumstances safely allow.
He declined to say what steps the company was taking across the region and the world to secure BP sites and facilities.
"This departure of staff non-essential to operations is a precautionary measure. BP has had a presence in Algeria for over 60 years and we remain steadfastly supportive of Algeria," he said.
The 56 expatriates work throughout Algeria, including at In Amenas, In Salah and Hassi Messaoud—the oil and gas producing region in the southern desert, and in the capital Algiers on the northern coast.
Mr Dudley declined to give details on the nationalities of the staff working for BP at In Amenas, where between 500 to 700 are on site at any given time.
The majority of the 500 to 700 workers on the In Amenas site are Algerian nationals working directly for the joint venture partnership and contracting companies, supported by a smaller international workforce that includes contractors and employees of Statoil, he added.
Meanwhile, Algeria's gas production was unaffected by the siege, Algerian energy minister Youcef Yousfi said Saturday, according to the Algerian state press service.
"Our partners haven't suffered from the situation. We haven't reduced our gas exports, we simply compensated for the lack of production by production in other fields," Mr. Yousfi said.
Algeria is the third-largest gas supplier to Europe, after Russia and Norway.

I'm trying to implement Like via the facebook open-graph-api with the Facebook iOS SDK 3.0. Everything seems to work except the FbGraphObject and that's because I have no idea how it should look because this clearly does not work.
What I'm trying to do is to like a url posted as an object. A simple Like with via the open-graph.
The error message I get the the code below is:
The action you're trying to publish is invalid because it does not specify any
reference objects. At least one of the following properties must be specified: object.
The code I use is this:
FBGraphObject *objectToLike = [[FBGraphObject alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:facebookLike.titleLabel.text]];
FBRequest *requestLike = [[FBRequest alloc]initForPostWithSession:[FBSession activeSession] graphPath:@"me/og.likes" graphObject:objectToLike];
FBRequestConnection *connection = [[FBRequestConnection alloc] init];
[connection addRequest:requestLike
^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
if (!error &&
result) {
DLog(@"MajorError: %@", error);
[connection start];
Checked some more info and my guess it to use this method: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sdk-reference/iossdk/3.0/class/FBGraphObject/#//api/name/graphObject
To somehow create an object. It's the graphObject method that I probably need to do something with. Any help at all would be appreciated.

I wonder if I have previously installed ubuntu with root, home, and swap partition. And now I want to change distro to arch linux. Is it so that I only need to wipe my root-partition and install arch linux there instead?
You can safely leave the swap partition as is, it can be shared among different distros. The root partition definitely has to be wiped, as you expect.
The home partition is somewhere in the middle. Of course your data and settings will not harm the new installation, but a difference in configuration options may give you weird errors.
A better approach is to back up the home partition somewhere, then install the new distro (wiping the home partition on the way). When you are done with installing the new distro, simply recover from the backup.
Or, if you don't like backups, just cross your finger and install it that way, keeping the home partition. In the case of errors, try creating a new user to check. If the new user does not have the problem then you know you have to clean up your configurations :) I don't like this approach because it's less clean. Arch and Ubuntu are so different that I'm quite sure there will be lots of unused dot files in your home directory.
that should do as far as i know, but it may also effect some dependancies whose effects may not be immediately visible

Challenge: Camping Equipment including Tent, Camp Stove and more.
I am looking for a freestanding lightweight 3-season, 3-person tent that will hold up in both wet & windy conditions (tall is a bonus...I am 6' tall). I am also looking for a 2-burner camp stove that isn't super heavy.
Honestly, it's been a while since we've camped on our own rather than with friends who have a lot of equipment. I am sure that there is a list of camping items that I should have & am not thinking of. I would love input on both items to buy & good deals.
While we will be doing car camping everything needs to be simple to erect/use & relatively lightweight (just me and my 10-year-old setting up camp). The plan is to toss the bikes on top of the car on May 30th & head West from St. Louis on a 5-week adventure through KS, CO, UT, NV, CA, OR, WA, ID, MT, WY & SD. We'll camp along most of the route but we probably won't camp anywhere for more than one night (we're making 2 long stops at friend's homes).

If there is an REI near you, I think you can still rent equipment to try out over a weekend period before your trip to see if there is something you like. This works best for stuff like tents, backpacks and even sleeping bags.
You wanted a lightweight dual burner stove that wouldn't be too much to lug around. I hope this meets those requirements:

This is also a good site for camping gear
No tax unless you are in New Jersey
check these out. I found both for a good price:
Hope this helps.
Hi there!
We'd be glad to help make some recommendations on tents/stoves for you. Selecting a good tent can be a bit tricky, but it all boils down to what you need to fit your specific requirements. If you're going to be doing car camping, you'll probably be most comfortable in a car camping tent (they tend to be much roomier than a backpacking tent). That being said, car camping tents can weigh as much as 25 lbs, depending on the size you select, so if you plan on doing any camping down the road that will involve hiking with your tent, this probably isn't a good option for you.
Backpacking tents are significantly lighter (most 3 person backpacking tents are in the 5-6 lb range) and more compressible, but again, they're not nearly as spacious (in terms of both vertical space and floor space). I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that most tents these days are pretty easy to set up, but it's always recommended that you give your new tent a "trial run" at home before setting
(cont'd) off on your trip. That way you'll be familiar with the set up when the time comes to use your new tent in the field.
As far as stoves go, there are a lot of different factors that go into deciding which stove is best for you, but I will say that MSR and Primus have a pretty outstanding reputation in the backpacking community for making great products; they're certainly the two brands that do best for us. Based on the criteria you provided, this should probably be a good fit for you: http://store.mpgear.com/primus-atle-two-burner-stove.aspx
I hope this helps. You can take a look at our selection of backpacking tents here...: http://store.mpgear.com/3persontents.aspx
... and the car camping tents can be found here: http://store.mpgear.com/4persontents.aspx
Feel free to shoot an e-mail to "email@example.com" if you'd like any further help with making your selection.
In any case, we hope you have a great time on your trip; that's what it's all about.
I would check www.steepandcheap.com. The deals are a little random, but you can find some decent prices on camping/hiking/climbing equipment.
I love and use http://www.campmor.com all the time for some truly great deals.
List of camping gear:
Cook Kit (pots, pans, spatula, large spoon, tongs etc. depending on menus)
Sponge and dishcloth
Biodegradable soap
Scouring pads (no soap type)
First Aid Kit
Pocket Knife
Rain Gear
Fire starters (Lint from your dryer works. (in zip lock bag)
Sun Protection
Sleeping Bag and pad
Eating kit (spoon, plate, bowl and cup)
Small musical instrument
Reserveamerica.com is good for booking camp sites ahead of time (2 weeks to 11 months ahead)
Hope you have a great trip
Where are you going in Washington State? Check out Three Fingers Fire Lookout. It is an amazing hike to the tip top of a mountain where the forest service blasted the peak off to make a flat area to build a fire lookout in the 1920's. Now the Everett mountaineers club maintains the place. You will never forget it if you stop by there.
There is also the paradise lodge on top of Mt. Rainer, Ross Lake & Diablo Dam. Lots of great stuff. Good luck and let me know if you need any Washington Info!
I thought that I'd add some links on campgrounds and trails.
Okay so apparently the stove has a high shipping rate
Amazon Warehouse:
Stupid zero vote bug is back.
@mpgearco: Out of curiosity what is the weight of the stove you listed?
@glidagw: From Nevada, where will you be entering California?
Another website to check is:
@hobbit: Calling REI was a great idea. Unfortunately they only have a couple of models that they no longer have for sale (defeating the purpose). I will definitely have to remember that for when we are ready to upgrade our packs next year.
@mpgearco: Thank you. While we are doing car camping on this trip I am really leaning towards a backpacking tent. We will take our packs and there is always the chance that we will decide to hike into a campground. It will also be easier for my daughter to handle. I know that I will give up space & height but it won't be a big deal for two of us.
I've been advised that the stability in higher wind situations will be better with backpacking tents.
I am definitely overwhelmed by the number of choices for 3-person, 3-season backpacking tents. Additionally, I would really like to find a good deal on one (stepping up to the backpacking tents is an expensive choice).
@catbertthegreat: I had to do some digging to get this answer, but I've confirmed that it's 11.5 lbs (add another pound for the propane canister, as well.) It's definitely not lightweight, but if @glindagw is going to be car-camping, this stove is should work out beautifully; in fact, the owner of Mountains Plus actually uses this very same stove when car-camping with his family.
@oheifearnain: To oheifearnain's good list, I would add a water container. Maybe two, one for clean water, one for gray water, if you're washing dishes.
At least in CO, water spigots are generally centrally located at a campsite, so you want something that lets you bring water to your campsite for drinking, cooking, cleaning.
@glindagw: I completely understand your reasoning behind wanting to go with the backpacking tent vs. the car-camping tent. Backpacking tents are, indeed, more stable in heavy winds, mainly because they're a much lower profile than car-camping tents.
I certainly agree that backpacking tents can be a little on the pricey side, but something to keep in mind when making your decision is that a good backpacking tent, when used/stored properly, can last for decades; particularly when used with a footprint (something we include for free with our tents.)
That being said, we want to help you out with the price as much as possible, so here's a coupon for 10% off: MPGEAR310
You may want to reconsider the Big Agnes Seehouse 3 Person Tent: http://store.mpgear.com/bigagnesseedhouse3person-freefootprint.aspx
The price on that tent (after your discount) will be right around $225 including shipping.
And, of course, please let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.
I have just a few more things to add to your to do list (you are making a list, right? otherwise you'll arrive at your first campsite to realize you didn't pack batteries for the flashlights or the can opener).
Definitely consider air mattresses. And an air pump that plugs into the car or has a car adapter (woot sells those plug adaptor things occasionally).
If you opt to not take good mats or air mattresses, bring a large bottle of tylenol/advil. Actually, if you haven't done a lot of hiking recently, with well broken in boots, bring the tylenol/advil anyway.
Make sure your emergency medical kit has moleskin or something for blisters.
Have a plan for car breakdowns, carry extra water and snacks.
Don't forget your sunscreen, and slather your kid liberally (pink noses are cute, but not healthy).
Be aware of cellphone and driving laws, for ex. in CA it's illegal to talk while driving unless you have a handsfree.
http://www.ou.edu/oupd/highway-cell.htm for non-911 calls.
Also plan to make a trip to the mojave desert or death valley or both. We have had ridiculous amounts of rain this winter, and they are talking about some major spring blooms (as in plants that only grow/bloom when there's enough rain, like every 30 years or so).
Are you looking for unusual places to see, or fun little day trips? If you're passing through or near Ridgecrest CA consider a short hike out to see the petroglyphs. http://www.maturango.org/#Pet (scroll down to the section on the petroglyph tours). Also nearby are the trona pinnacles.
Save yourself some propane and remember that water won't really boil at high altitude, but it still gets very hot.
Consider getting a cheap digital camera for your daughter to take her own memories. Perhaps she can do a picture diary or report for school credit. There are many decent point and shoot cameras under $100 to choose from.
Some of my best memories from childhood are from a road trip out west my family took when i was 9. :)
@attilathemom: Isn't the rain wonderful. Anyway she might not be coming this way as to come down here and then head up north again is at least an extra day if she is cramped for time.
Thanks for the point out about the Mojave, I always forget the desert actually can bloom, by the time I remember the blooms are dead.
@attilathemom: How long do the spring blooms last (would they still be there in June)? We weren't planning on heading south towards the Mojave/Death Valley. We're ultimately headed for Seattle & Wyoming, so Southern California would add a lot of time in the car (but we aren't too set on anything yet).
My daughter has driven the Al-Can with her Dad. I had to promise her that this would be a different kind of trip. No uptight itineraries, no more than 6 hours of driving in a day and we can stop at anything fun that appeals to us (giant balls of string, beautiful overlooks, singletrack, etc.). We backpacked through a bit of SE Asia a couple of years ago with the same attitude & had a great time.
A new camera is on the list (her old one just died). I made a deal with her. She can keep the adwords revenue if she makes regular blog entries throughout the trip. I'll combine her entries & photos when we return & have it printed as a photo book.
We are leaving St. Louis on 5/30. We're planning on spending the 4th of July in Wyoming (then we'll haul to Chicago to see U2 on 7/6). Beyond that we only have two concrete destinations. We'll spend about a week with friends south of Seattle (or at a cottage on the shore) & a week in the Black Hills (and just west in WY).
This trip is in the planning stages. We're doing research & deciding exactly what we want to do. We have friends in the urban areas that we can stay with (unless we decide to go a different direction). The projected route is: STL to Ft. Riley, Kansas...to Denver...to Arches National Park - Moab...to the UT/NV border...to Reno...to San Jose, CA. It gets a bit fuzzy after that. We'll head North along the coast on Hwy 1 & continue on 101 N. West near Portland to I-5N to Seattle. Luckily Route 20 will be open when we leave Seattle & head towards Okanogan. After a stop at Grand Coulee we'll wander towards Northeastern Wyoming.
@glindagw: The desert is about to bloom RIGHT NOW. June is far too late. I used to live in the desert being spoken of. February is so beautiful that you are left breathless. Still, desert is an acquired taste (I acquired it long ago, and it never left me).
Heading to Seattle? You must drive the Columbia Gorge, and in the daytime. You can then head up the coast from Portland to Seattle (also a fabulous drive).
Oh, never mind. I see your trip will take you in other directions. Pity.
On the other hand, if you're taking the Pacific Coast Highway, it's a shame not to see Monterey. Consider a slight detour, please. Monterey CA is one of those spots on earth (like Big Sur, or Carmel) that should NEVER be missed.
@shrdlu: I remember visiting Monterey when I was about her age. That's a good place to visit. She's game for anything in California as long as we visit the Redwoods.
The Columbia Gorge is a good idea. I promised her that we would visit Mt. St. Helens. From there I'll be ready to get to my friend's (almost there...so close). After a couple of days we'll head back down along the coast to her beach shack.
I am totally open to suggestions. I know that we're going to camp, hike, ride, climb & otherwise play (go rafting if my daughter gets her way). I've visited most of the places that we're going but it's good to remember what will be most amazing for her to see.
Camping is not new to me. Unfortunately, the camping equipment that ended up with me is archaic, outdated and a generally large pain. It's a bit overwhelming to face updating it all at once (rather than a piece at a time). Hence my great appreciation for everyone's input & advice.
@glindagw: the photo book is an awesome idea, as is stopping for giant balls of string, etc. Having just moved to the desert (from cold and snowy ohio) I have no idea about when spring arrives here, I'm just passing on what my friends and coworkers are telling me.
Rain beats snow any day (at least in my book).
Death valley in june is probably going to be too hot. Definitely need to see the redwood/sequoia trees, but maybe you could save southern cali for a southwest trip another time.
So have you narrowed your shopping list down? Anything specific you are still looking for?
@attilathemom: Now I'm looking for sleeping mats (more than our basic ridge rests). I'm 6' tall, my daughter is closing in on 5'.
I'm also trying to figure out what the best way to protect the mountain bikes on the roof rack. Maybe a bike bra?
I've been backpacking/car-camping with a large group of friends for about 15 years and slowly everyone has moved to REI brand Tents. They're well designed, durable, and significantly cheaper than the name brands. I'm on my second half dome (2-man) after loosing the first and won't use anything else. If anything ever happens to it you can drive into any REI and they'll give you a new one!
Overstock.com has a great deal on ALPS brand inflatable camp pads. I just got one of their large comfort series mats for my girlfriend and it seems pretty well put together and plenty comfortable at 2in thick.
Last thought: when I took a road trip through the south west sleeping on the ground and in my car. I would occasionally park at a hotel, throw a towel in a suitcase, and walk in confidently to use the pool. Very nice in the desert.

New York, NY—The Dan Flavin Art Institute in Bridgehampton, New York, opens for its summer season with the special exhibition, Drawing American Light: Dan Flavin and the Hudson River School and the permanent installation of nine works by Dan Flavin. The Dan Flavin Art Institute houses a selection of Flavin's work and special exhibitions. It has been supported and maintained by Dia Art Foundation since 1983, and is located on Corwith Avenue, off Main Street, in Bridgehampton, Long Island. Summer hours are Thursday through Sunday, 12-6pm, and run through October 17, 2010. Admission is free.
Drawing American Light: Dan Flavin and the Hudson River School is the latest in a series of temporary exhibitions at The Dan Flavin Art Institute. The presentation includes Dan Flavin's drawings of the Hudson River and the Long Island shoreline from the 1960s and 1970s, as well as a group of late nineteenth century drawings by Hudson River School artists, selected by Flavin for Dia's Collection. Among those whose drawings on view are Henry Farrer, John Frederick Kensett, Aaron Draper Shattuck, and Robert Havell, Jr. The exhibition is shown in the first floor gallery and is organized by Kristin Poor, assistant curator, Dia Art Foundation. It follows previous exhibitions at the site of works by Imi Knoebel (2008–2010), John Chamberlain (2007), Fred Sandback (2004–2006), and others.
The Dan Flavin Art Institute occupies the former First Baptist Church in Bridgehampton. Originally built as a firehouse in 1908, the building operated as a church from 1924 to the mid-1970s. In 1979, Dia purchased the building to use as a gallery for Flavin. Renovated under his direction with the assistance of Dia's director of operations James Schaeufele and architect Richard Gluckman, the building retains traces of its former uses: a newel post in the entrance hall is painted red in remembrance of its years as a firehouse, and the original church doors have been moved to the entrance of a small exhibition space on the second floor which also contains church memorabilia, including a neon cross.
In 1983, Flavin permanently installed nine works in fluorescent light on the second floor and in the stairwell. The pieces span nearly twenty years: the earliest work, red out of a corner (to Annina), dates from 1963 when he decided to work solely with standard fluorescent fixtures and tubes, and the latest piece, untitled (to Robert, Joe and Michael), was made between 1975 and 1981. Flavin conceived of these sculptures and the architecture as a single, unified installation. By manipulating the formal, phenomenal, and referential characteristics of light, the installation asks viewers to consider a series of contrasts—between colors, intensities of light, structure and formlessness, the obvious and the mysterious, and the serious and the humorous.
Support for The Dan Flavin Art Institute is provided in part by Heiner Friedrich and David Zwirner.
Dan Flavin was born in 1933 in New York City, where he later studied art history at the New School for Social Research (1956) and Columbia University (1957–59). His first solo show was at the Judson Gallery, New York, in 1961. Flavin made his first work with electric light that same year, and he began using commercial fluorescent bulbs in 1963. Major exhibitions of Flavin's work include those at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (1967), the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa (1969), the Staatliche Kunsthalle, Baden-Baden (1989), and Dan Flavin: A Retrospective, a national and international touring exhibition organized by Dia in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C (2004–2007). In 1983, Dia opened The Dan Flavin Art Institute in Bridgehampton, New York, a permanent exhibition designed by the artist in a converted firehouse. In 1992 Flavin created a monumental installation for the reopening of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. He died in 1996, leaving designs for a light installation for Milan's Chiesa Rossa that was realized posthumously with Dia's support. Flavin's last completed work, untitled (1996) occupies the stairwell at 548 West 22nd Street in New York City in a building formerly used by Dia as an exhibition space.
A nonprofit institution founded in 1974, Dia Art Foundation is committed to realizing and preserving the vision of artists. Dia displays selections from its collection of works from the 1960s through today at Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, in Beacon, New York. Dia initiated a partnership with The Hispanic Society of America, where Dia presents commissions and projects by contemporary artists within the Society's galleries, while developing a permanent home in West Chelsea for these initiatives. Additionally, Dia maintains long-term, site-specific projects. These include Walter De Maria's The New York Earth Room (1977) and The Broken Kilometer (1979), Max Neuhaus's Times Square (1977), Joseph Beuys's 7000 Eichen (7000 Oaks) (1988), and Dan Flavin's untitled (1996), in Manhattan; The Dan Flavin Art Institute, in Bridgehampton, New York; De Maria's Vertical Earth Kilometer (1977), in Kassel, Germany; and Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970), and De Maria's The Lightning Field (1977), in the western United States.

In the U.S., Judge Katharine Hayden sentenced former corporate lawyer Matthew Kluger to twelve years in prison—the longest term received to-date for insider trading violations. While working as a lawyer at prominent law firms (including Cravath, Skadden, and Wilson Sonsini), Kluger misappropriated nonpublic corporate merger information over the course of seventeen years. Notably, Kluger's sentence reflecting Kluger's abuse of his legal position was longer than the eleven years handed to Raj Rajaratnam in the widely publicized Galleon case.
Also last week, in Japan, the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission ("SESC") proposed to fine a U.S. broker dealer $185,000, a penalty much higher than what the SESC has sought in other recent insider trading cases.
Only a few months ago, the U.K. FSA fined a U.S. based hedge fund $11 million for selling shares in a company shortly after receiving indications of a possible stock sale. This case is a reminder that professionals who obtain information through the exercise of their employment, profession, or duties should be particularly aware of whether they may be exposed to sensitive information along with its potential for liability.
China, too, may also become more active in cracking down on insider trading. Sources report the Chinese government may broaden the definition of an insider and focus on government officials as well as corporate executives.
In short, as financial transactions become increasingly globalized, it is clear that portfolio managers, traders, and compliance personnel need to be conversant in the legal and regulatory regimes of multiple jurisdictions. Requirements surrounding the use of nonpublic information are particularly relevant as acceptable standards of behavior evolve; expect more activity on this front.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
This John Kerschbaum interview is long overdue. After I interviewed John Arcudi back in January 2009, he suggested I interview John Kerschbaum. In fact, he mentioned Kerschbaum in the course of our interview: "Petey and Pussy creator John Kerschbaum is the best cartoonist working in funnybooks right now. And he's not working nearly enough." My apologies to Kerschbaum for the time it took to make this interview happen (he agreed to it back in late January, but I was unable to get questions to him until May), so I am really glad to run this finally. Kerschbaum, who was a 2008 Eisner nominee in the Best Humor Publication category for Petey and Pussy, was kind enough to discuss this most recent Fantagraphics book as well as the work he has self-published through his own Fontanelle Press. Enjoy.
Tim O'Shea: Looking at your work to date, is there any line of comedy that you are afraid to cross?
John Kerschbaum: I don't know if I'm motivated by fear, per se, but I tend to shy away from specifically offending people. That is, I avoid ethnic, political or religious humor, that type of stuff. I like to think I'm more of an equal-opportunity offender.
But that's not to say I think any of those topics are taboo. There are talented cartoonists, humorists and comedians that mine those territories for humor whose work I really enjoy. It's all about the context in which it's being done and the abilities of the cartoonist doing it. Just because something CAN be funny doesn't mean is always IS. There's a time and place for everything.

Today, there is much heterogeneity in college experiences; only about 13 percent of all
undergraduate students live on campus, and 35 percent are enrolled part-time. Some first-year
students who live on campus may be at particular risk for alcohol misuse. Anecdotal evidence
suggests that the first 6 weeks of enrollment are critical to first-year student success. Because
many students initiate heavy drinking during these early days of college, the potential exists for
excessive alcohol consumption to interfere with successful adaptation to campus life.
Unfortunately, many alcohol prevention programs do not target this early, critical, high-risk
College organizational factors are also related to student drinking. For example, historically
Black colleges and women's colleges tend to have lower rates of alcohol use, while colleges with a
Greek system and colleges that place a heavy emphasis on athletics tend to have higher rates of
alcohol use. Commuter colleges and 2-year institutions tend to have lower alcohol consumption
rates than noncommuter schools and 4-year institutions. In terms of size, students at smaller
colleges tend to drink more than students at larger schools.
U.S. laws require that colleges and universities that receive Federal funding develop an alcohol
and drug education policy. In addition to laws, ethical and social obligations dictate that
college administrators develop an alcohol policy that is consistent with the institution's own
culture, mission, and values. The Panel noted that once drafted and adopted, an institution's
alcohol policy should be respected and consistently enforced; it should be wholly supported by the
college president, students, faculty and staff, and the neighboring community, including law
enforcement officers.
Factors that may be external to the campus can also affect college student drinking. For example,
alcohol pricing and the density of liquor outlets have been shown to influence consumption by
college students. Generally, the lower the price and the higher the concentration of bars and
retail outlets near campus, the higher the alcohol consumption by college students.

An administrator with Durango Early Learning Center became upset Friday with the Durango Police Department�s handling of a felony stop in front of the day care.
Lesley Lach, director of the preschool on East Third Avenue, said children were about to go outside for recess when a teacher noticed several police officers with their guns drawn.
�This incident was directly in view of and close proximity to our school playground,� she wrote to the police chief in a letter, which was forwarded to parents of the school. �Nobody notified me of what was happening.�
Lach said she tried to speak with an officer to find out if it was safe for children to go outside, but no one would speak to her. She called the dispatch center and was told there was no record of a lockdown, she said.
The school erred on the side of caution and went into a lockdown, she said.
Officers eventually left the scene, but no one came into the school to inform her about what happened or whether it was safe to let children outside.
�I am responsible for the welfare of 83 children and clearly would rely on law enforcement to help me with this task,� she wrote in the letter. �I was extremely dismayed to have no initial or later contact from the police, especially given that guns were initially drawn, at least three police cars were in full view of our playground and the suspect was apprehended on our loading zone.�
Efforts to reach Lach were unsuccessful Friday afternoon.
Spratlen was out of town Friday and wrote in an email he was unaware of the situation. He deferred to Durango police Capt. Dan Shry, who said the incident developed quickly, so there was no time to give the preschool advance warning. Police officers should have gone to the school afterward to explain the situation, he said.
He sent an officer to the school Friday afternoon after learning of Lach�s letter.
�We do have protocol for doing lockdowns if we know something is going on, but this is one of those incidents where it evolved quickly and the location was incidental,� Shry said. �In her defense, we should have done a better job at the scene of doing follow-up with her.�
The incident occurred sometime between 8:25 and 9:05 a.m. near East Third Avenue and Ninth Street. Police were called to �stand by� while two people divided property in a domestic situation. When police arrived, they found the man�s vehicle double-parked in the middle of the road on East Third Avenue, Shry said.
An officer had the license plate number checked and learned the man had a history of post-traumatic stress disorder, had made suicidal threats in the past and possessed weapons, Shry said.
Officers proceeded with caution and decided to do a �felony stop,� meaning they approached him with guns drawn and asked him to step outside of the van.
The man was cooperative, and he was not in possession of any weapons, Shry said. He was not arrested.
No children were outside at the time, Shry said.
�I�m sure if the kids would have been playing they would have been noticed, and it would have been handled differently,� he said.

My bathroom door isn't latching properly and it seems that the strike plate is not seated properly in the jamb. It's a 1950s apartment and all the door frames are metal, so I can't just chip away some wood. What else can I try?
The strike plate sticks out from the jamb? Remove the strike plate and file/grind some material off where it is binding.
Sometimes the hinges might not be where they were when it worked correctly. Make sure all your hinge screws are tight and not stripped out. this can make the door sit off kilter. Check your gaps around the door between the door and the jam. this means compare the top to the bottom and left and right. They all should be about the same distance. The first answer is correct also, but check your hinge screws. It could also be your problem.
The strike might have been replaced at some point. If you have other doors in the apartment that work properly, take that strike out and compare it to the one in your bathroom. That will tell you what modifications need to be made to get the door to close. If you have a closet or other door you don't worry about latching, just swap them out.
If you rent the apartment, then the landlord is responsible for maintaining and repairing the doors and locks. If you own the apartment, then you're responsible. Since the door jamb is steel, filing the striker plate to a larger size is your only option as long as the hinges are not causing the door to sag.
