Congratulations to Pennsylvania Ballet, and bravo to Pew!
In the fragile realm of dance, funding is hard to come by even in the best of times. But now, despite a decidedly mean economic climate, the Pew Charitable Trusts' dance program has awarded its largest sum yet: $917,000 to 26 performers and organizations.
Is this PaB's first Forsythe?

November 24 29, 2009
Pennsylvania Ballet, one of the premiere ballet companies in the country, has received an exclusive invitation to present the Washington, D.C. premiere of George Balanchines The Nutcracker. The Company will perform this timeless holiday classic in the prestigious Opera House at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts November 24 29, 2009. Pennsylvania Ballet is one of the few companies nationwide licensed to perform Balanchines preeminent Nutcracker ballet and the first to perform it in Americas national cultural center.
The Company has a long-standing reputation of performing critically acclaimed work at the Kennedy Center, including recent performances of Jerome Robbinss In the Night as part of the Centers Ballet Across America series in June 2008. This is an unprecedented opportunity for us says Artistic Director Roy Kaiser, and a proud reflection of the remarkable achievements of this Company and its artists since we first performed at the Kennedy Center in 1979.
Pennsylvania Ballet unveiled a new production of George Balanchines The Nutcracker in 2007, featuring 192 exquisite new costumes and nearly two dozen new set pieces. For the Thanksgiving week production at the Kennedy Center, Tschaikovskys magnificent score will be performed by the celebrated Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra. Since its opening, the Kennedy Center has presented some of the greatest performers from around the world, and serves as a living memorial to the 35th President of the United States and his vision for the arts in America.
George Balanchines The Nutcracker features all the splendor audiences expect: an opening party scene of families celebrating the holidays with 19th century charm; little Maries dream of her Nutcracker Prince and his toy soldiers battling a fleet of mice led by the Mouse King; and the captivating divertissements in the Land of The Sweets. The enduring combination of Tschaikovskys magical music, Balanchines masterful choreography and the artistry of Pennsylvania Ballets dancers leave audiences awestruck after every performance.
Performances of George Balanchines The Nutcracker at the Kennedy Center are as follows:
§ Tuesday, November 24 at 7:30 p.m.
§ Wednesday, November 25 at 7:30 p.m.
§ Friday, November 27 at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m.
§ Saturday, November 28 at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m.
§ Sunday, November 29 at 1:30 p.m.
Tickets range from $47 - $150. The on-sale date has not been announced yet.
Founded in 1963 by Balanchine student and protégée Barbara Weisberger, Pennsylvania Ballet is one of the nations leading ballet companies. Headquartered in Philadelphia, the Companys annual local season features repertory favorites and new works, including the Philadelphia holiday tradition, George Balanchines The Nutcracker at the Academy of Music, December 11 31, 2009. For more information, call 215.551.7000 or visit www.paballet.org.

Another piece of imaginative generosity on the part of the good old Pew Charitable Trust !!!
It's Pew money, but the Pew does not directly fund dance companies (nor provide the imagination): Dance Advance does, in an annual panel-adjudicated process. Dance Advance is housed at the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage, which is supported by The Pew Charitable Trusts and is administered by The University of the Arts.

Thanks for that clarification, Ray. And also for the Link to Dance Advance's website. Dance-lovers in the Philadelphia region are fortunate.
Yes we are! I provide the clarification it so that people know how amazing this money really is--i.e., it's given out of a whole program devoted to dance in the Philly region; it's not a one-off grant (through which Pew also grants funding directly, such as to the new Barnes museum). The Pew also funds sister programs--all autonomous--in music, fine arts, and theater, AND gives money away to artists across arts disciplines through their fellowship program.
If you go to the website be sure to check out the Archives--I've mentioned before that there are interview there with ballet artists from the Royal.
Now here's hoping the Pew's stock portfolio prospers!

Artistic Director Roy Kaiser Announces 2009-2010 Season
April 13, 2009
Company Premiere Works by Jerome Robbins and William Forsythe
World Premiere by Matthew Neenan
Invitation to perform George Balanchines The Nutcracker
at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC
Tribute to Frederic Chopins 200th Birthday
All Chopin Program, March 2010
Roy Kaisers 30th year with the Company and 15th as Artistic Director
Artistic Director Roy Kaiser announces a bold and compelling 2009-2010 Season featuring fifteen visionary ballets on six dynamic programs, including Company Premieres by Jerome Robbins and William Forsythe, and a World Premiere by Choreographer in Residence Matthew Neenan.
The season includes four innovative repertory programs, one classic full-length work and the critically acclaimed production of George Balanchines The Nutcracker. The Company was invited to perform The Nutcracker at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC in late November before returning to the Academy of Music in December.
Among the repertory programs presented, a World Premiere by Mr. Neenan will join ballets by George Balanchine and Agnes de Mille to open the season in October. The Company will perform ballets choreographed by Mr. Robbins and Mr. Neenan to the music of Frederic Chopin in celebration of the composers 200th birthday in March. The long-awaited Company premieres of Mr. Robbinss lyrical masterwork Afternoon of a Faun and Mr. Forsythes fiercely brilliant In The Middle, Somewhat Elevated will follow in May.
Mr. Kaiser celebrates his 30th year with the Company and 15th as Artistic Director in the 2009-2010 season by continuing to expand an increasingly diverse repertoire of classical and innovative works performed by Pennsylvania Ballet, widely regarded as one of the premier ballet companies in the country.
Ive always drawn inspiration from the extraordinary dancers who continually seek to improve their technical virtuosity and impassioned artistry, says Mr. Kaiser. I remain committed to presenting challenging and provocative programming, and I think this season really represents the artistic strength of the Company.
*Denotes Company Premiere
Program I
October 21 25, 2009
Academy of Music
Theme and Variations: Balanchine/Tschaikovsky
World Premiere: Choreography by Matthew Neenan, Choreographer in Residence
Rodeo: de Mille/Copland
In Theme and Variations, Balanchine pays homage to the Imperial Russian Ballet of his youth in one of his most technically demanding works. This plotless ballet features glittering costumes and inventive choreography that is credited with bringing classical ballet into the 20th century.
Choreographer in Residence Matthew Neenan creates his 12th new work especially for the Company in his own unique contemporary style.
The allure of the cowboy is the focus of de Milles Rodeo, which captures the pioneering spirit of the American character and the exuberance of youth. A defining achievement in de Milles early choreographic career, Rodeo is an optimistic tale of a tomboys attempt to lasso in love, with Coplands exuberant score setting the scene.
George Balanchines The Nutcracker: Balanchine/Tschaikovsky
November 24 29, 2009
The Kennedy Center
Pennsylvania Ballet has accepted an invitation to perform George Balanchines The Nutcracker at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, one of the most prestigious cultural venues in the country. This engagement will mark the first time the Balanchine version of The Nutcracker has been performed in Washington, DC.
December 12 31, 2009
Academy of Music
Presenting Sponsor: PNC
Our critically acclaimed production returns to the Academy of Music to delight audiences of all ages in this enduring holiday classic. The Nutcracker Prince, the Mouse King, the Sugarplum Fairy join the Philadelphia Boys Choir as the Company mesmerizes audiences with extraordinary sets and exquisite costumes. Tickets go on sale to the public June 15, 2009.
Program II
March 4 13, 2010
Academy of Music
The Four Temperaments: Balanchine/Hindemith
Carmina Burana: Neenan/Orff
The stunning simplicity and angular architecture of The Four Temperaments became the standard for Balanchine works. The work is an abstraction of ancient doctrines that enumerated the four aspects of a person's disposition.
A thunderous score and innovative choreography punctuate Matthew Neenans fiery Carmina Burana, which premiered to sold out audiences in 2007 when The Philadelphia Inquirer declared it simply scintillating steamy and explosive a triumph. Neenan fuses the power of Orffs classic work with his eruptive movement and existential sets.
Program III
March 10 14, 2010
Academy of Music
The Crossed Line: Neenan/Chopin
In the Night: Robbins/Chopin
The Concert: Robbins/Chopin
A trio of works that embody the emotional range and inventiveness of Frederic Chopin celebrate the famed composers 200th birthday.
The Crossed Line explores the boundaries and shifting nature of relationships to Chopin piano concertos transcribed for piano and violin/cello. The piece began as an idea Mr. Neenan developed while attending New York City Ballets Choreographer Institute in September 2003. The concept grew into an exciting commission for Pennsylvania Ballet in April 2004, and was critically acclaimed for Neenan's crisp choreography, creativity, and innovativeness are refreshingly unpredictable.
In the Night uses four Chopin nocturnes as inspiration for three intimate pas de deux that articulate graduated stages of love and romance. Each episode is a tableau of romance - tender young love, mature and balanced love, and explosive passion. Robbinss three heroines each has a distinct character, as do the principals who portray them. When last performed, The Washington Post observed [The Companys performance] was liquid smooth. At its heart was an extraordinary dancer, Riolama Lorenzo, who made you notice critical little things such as how she rose onto pointe as if a breath started in her feet and advanced right up into her rib cage.
The Concert, Robbinss comedic masterpiece set during a piano recital, envelopes audiences with its sidesplitting humor, witty timing, and satirical choreography in its spirited salute to Chopin. The onstage accompanist engages in the antics, which send everyone home laughing.
Program IV
May 5 9, 2010
Merriam Theater
Square Dance: Balanchine/Vivaldi/Corelli
Afternoon of a Faun*: Robbins/Debussy
Requiem for a Rose: Ochoa/Schubert
In The Middle, Somewhat Elevated*: Forsythe/Willems
Master choreographer George Balanchines Square Dance explores the juxtapositions of American folk dances and classical ballet. The hierarchal pairings and partner exchanges suggest the formal patterns of square dance, but the piece also offers virtuosic performances from the lead ballerina and male soloist. The Company has not performed this celebrated work since its 1992-1993 Season.
The transient nature of love is explored in Requiem for a Rose, a dynamic work created for the Company during its 45th Anniversary Season. This encore engagement reunites choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoas vision of 12 dancers as bouquet of roses, in bold and fluid movements that hinge on a single heartbeat.
The Companys newest Robbins acquisition, Afternoon of a Faun, is considered a landmark piece of lyrical dance theater. A nymph-like figure interrupts a male dancers work in the dance studio, and the pair engages in a delicate duet with the audience as their mirror. The stunning simplicity of the choreography underscores the compelling complexities that lie behind the glass.
Nuance and depth saturate In The Middle, Somewhat Elevated, a frenetic experiment in angular movement that demands the raw commitment of its cast. The feigned disdain of the dancers contrasts the technical demands of the choreography. The New York Times declared this work changed the way people perceived classical dance: how the fundamental principles of ballet technique could be used in new ways, how dancers could behave onstage, how we could see them. The Company Premiere of In The Middle, Somewhat Elevated has been funded by The Pew Center for Arts and Heritage, through Dance Advance.
Program V
June 4 12, 2010
Academy of Music
Romeo & Juliet: Cranko/Prokofiev
Luminous in its power and poignancy, John Crankos Romeo and Juliet is set to Sergei Prokofievs famous musical score. The ballet version of Shakespeares famous tale established Cranko as a master story teller, using powerful music and pristine movements to explore the powerful relationship between the two title characters. When Pennsylvania Ballet last produced Romeo and Juliet in 2005, The Philadelphia Inquirer said it was a sumptuous production that keeps audiences fully engaged and at times transfixed.

President Barack Obama, accompanied by, from left, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev., House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of Calif., applaud at the unveiling of a statue of Rosa Parks, Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013, on Capitol Hill in Washington. / AP Photo/Charles Dharapak
(CBS News) President Obama joined members of Congress today to unveil a new statue of civil rights icon Rosa Parks. With the full-length statue placed in the Capitol Building's Statuary Hall, Parks takes her "rightful place among those who shaped this nation's course," Mr. Obama said.
The 9-foot statue shows Parks seated, commemorating the moment in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. That moment sparked the historic Montgomery bus boycott, a critical part of the civil rights movement.
"That moment tells us something about how change happens or doesn't happen," Mr. Obama said at the unveiling. "The changes we make, or don't make... Rosa Parks tells us there's always something we can do. We all have responsibilities to ourselves and one another."
With the victory of the bus boycott, the president said, "the entire edifice of segregation, like the ancient walls of Jericho, began to slowly come tumbling down."
Parks, who died in 2005 at the age of 92, fought for civil rights before and after that pivotal moment on the bush, Mr. Obama noted. For about two decades, she worked for Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich.
Parks is the first black woman to be honored with a full-length statue in Statuary Hall. In a bit of historic irony, the statue was placed in a spot formerly occupied by a statue of Robert E. Lee, which several months ago was moved to another location (though House Speaker John Boehner's office says the Lee statue wasn't moved for the Parks statue). The president said Parks' memory should be honored by carrying forward "the power of her principle and a courage born of conviction."

Regiment Spinach
37 days. Making the most of your spinach plantings, this robust and substantial variety produces thick, broad leaves from both spring and fall cultivation. Regiment's tolerance of cooler soils ensures strong germination and seedling performance in early spring, producing speedy crops of flavorful, dark green, arrowhead-shaped, semi-savoyed leaves. Late sowings yield excellent fall harvests. Slow to bolt. DM 1-7, 11.

Spinacia oleracea: The Northwest's favorable conditions for spinach production allow us to focus our selection criteria on flavor, vigor, and bolt and disease resistance. The highest-protein vegetable, leafy spinach greens boast an unmatched, synergistic complement of vitamins, minerals, flavonoids and carotenoids that when combined, protect eyesight, help prevent the buildup of cholesterol, and target cancer-causing free radicals.
CULTURE: Spinach requires rich, fertile soil with plenty of organic matter. It is adversely sensitive to uneven moisture and acidic soils, and the optimum pH range is 6.5-7.5. Spinach is best grown during the cooler weather of spring and fall. Because nitrogen cycling is slower during cooler temperatures, use fertilizers that release nutrients quickly such as blood meal, fishmeal, bone meal, composted chicken manure, or feather meal. Nitrogen supplied during growth greatly increases the size and quality of your spinach. After soil has warmed and can be worked, sow seeds in rows at least 12 inches apart. Higher soil temperatures can cause erratic germination. The most favorable air temperatures for spinach are 60-65°F. Keep the bed uniformly moist for best results. For baby spinach, sow about 35-40 seeds per foot in a 2 inch wide furrow. Thin to 1 inch apart. Pay attention to seasonal differences between varieties. Summer selections are more resistant to bolting, but rising temperatures, longer days, and water or nutrient stress all contribute towards a plant's inclination to bolt. Later sowings may be done in July and August.
HARVEST: For baby greens, harvest when leaves are 3-4 inches. Individual leaves may be harvested anytime, or harvest the entire plant when it reaches maturity, just prior to bolting. Rinse in cold water and store at 32°F and 95% relative humidity.
INSECTS/PESTS: If your spinach leaves have a blotchy appearance, chances are you have spinach leaf miners. Destroy any affected leaves and keep the surrounding area weeded.
DISEASE: The key to prevention is planting in fertile soil and using a 3-year crop rotation.
SEED SPECS: Minimum germination standard: 65%. Usual seed life: 1 year.
HR indicates high resistance.
IR indicates intermediate resistance.
CMV | Cucumber Mosaic Virus
DM* | Downy Mildew
LM | Leaf Mold

I've got an intermediate screw base light bulb that I want to replace (as it's burned out). However, going around to local stores they only have the correct size & wattage of bulb available in either medium base screw or some weird looking 2 prong thing that I've never seen before. Since adapting medium down to intermediate would probably take up too much space, are there 2 prong to intermediate base adapters available anywhere?
Yes they are definitely available though specifics as to where to buy them are generally considered off-topic for this site.
Here's a GU10-WHIP flexible socket adapter:
Or here's a more traditional Bi-Pin to Standard Base adapter:
You may be looking for GU24 bulbs
Relevant question: Are standard light bulb bases being phased out?
If so, a typical Edison Screw Bulb may work fine but you're better off buying the bulb intended for the ballast.

There is a big table (5-6 million records). I have to move 90% of old records to other database(table). Solution?

Couple of additions to Rolando's suggestion.
If you're clearing out the old table, as well as populating new you could use the OUTPUT clause. Be mindful of the potential for log growth, consider a loop/batch approach if this may be a problem.
BCP is a handy alternative to be aware of. Note this is using SQLCMD syntax.
For SQL-Server the real problem is avoiding the logging of the deleted rows.
My proposal is Set up a second database in simple recovery mode. Copy the the hole table with
If target Server Is SQL-Server of same revision you can move the data by backup and restore.
In other cases take some bulkcopy option.
Although it is time to learn about partioned tables, but that seems to be an option only for Enterprise Edition.
If the TableA is really big, you can use bulk-operations and bcp utility

The 14th Annual Hot Rod Nationals - Goodguys IndyWritten on November 1, 2002 The 14th Annual Hot Rod Nationals
If it ain't broke, don't fix it! It's thinking like this that's kept Goodguys events in the forefront of hot rod enthusiasts' minds for years, and there's no better example of this than this year's 14th Annual Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals. Open to hot rods, classic trucks, and customs to '64 (and race vehicles to '72) Indy consistently draws the cream of the crop from every rodding and racing genre. Though Indy has been known for years as "the place" to debut hot, new rides, there were still (and always will be) plenty of low-buck and homebuilt cars and trucks on hand for everybody's enjoyment, as well.
This year, there were more than 4,000 pre-'64 cars and trucks, and they literally came from all over the country. Regardless of dollars spent, every one of 'em were inspected and admired by all.
If looking at cool cars and trucks isn't enough to keep you satisfied, Goodguys Indy has lots more to offer--like a boatload of classic cars and trucks getting flogged on the racetrack. That's right, the Hot Rod Nationals features vintage drag racing (open to pre-'72 vehicles) with 12 classes of competition ranging from street-legal hot rods to old-school Top Fuelers and Gassers. And, if that's not enough to satisfy your automotive lust, then it's just a short jaunt down the road to visit the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway or take in any of the other gearhead-inspired sights and attractions available.
The fact that Goodguys Indy always has a great sideshow of vintage drag racing is a definite draw, but the allure goes beyond that. This is simply a great, laid-back, early season gathering. This year's show was also our second outing for making CLASSIC TRUCKS Top Ten Picks. And believe us, there were enough cool haulers for us to have doubled or tripled our number of picks. Check out the photos and see if you don't agree.
|Top 10 Classic Trucks
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
This isn't your average classic SUV! Jerry Aldridge has whipped together one of the finest early Suburbans we've run across in a long while. Jerry's '48 sits on a modified S-10 chassis and features a host of other upgrades like a Street & Performance-injected small-block, a 4-inch chop, Colorado Custom Lazear wheels, and wild J.R. Hoskins paint work.Fresh out of builder Roger Burman's Lakeside Rods & Rides shop is Jim Bockoven's awesome '46 Ford. A combination of flawless craftsmanship and a host of topnotch goodies have transformed this old workhorse into a Top-10 shoe-in. Jim's gem has been treated to a Nova subframe, shaved door handles, a filled cowl vent, shaved rain gutters, and smooth running boards.Can you say blue? The finish on Ed Cottrell's jaw-dropping '57 caught our eye right off the bat, and its perfect stance and precise detailing garnered it a Top-10 pick without a second thought. Ed's Mack-truck-blue Chevy is powered by a GM HT 383 stroker backed by a 700-R4 trans and a Corvette rear, and it rolls on a quartet of classic polished American five-spokes.Kid's stuff? We don't think so! Twenty-four-year-old David Coomer has put together one mighty fine '55; it definitely deserves a Top-10 pick. David's ride features eye-catching bright-yellow paint, 18- and 20-inch Billet Specialties wheels, Air Ride Technologies suspension, and a steel bed floor pirated from a '96 Chevy pickup. Great work for a youngster. We can't imagine what's gonna come next from this talented enthusiast.Jim Crowder's awesome '54 F-100 panel first caught our eye at the F-100 Supernationals in Tennessee. We were elated to see that he made it to his first Goodguys event so we could bestow on his truck a well-deserved Top-10 pick! Jim's completely owner-modified '54 has been treated to a 4-inch chop, its hood has been pie-cut 2 inches, and it sports pinched front fenders and a wild custom rear cargo hatch--not too shabby for a gent who has been building awesome choppers since a ShovelHead was Harley's hot new design.What a long strange trip it's been. Jack Downs has worked on his way-cool '57 Cameo on and off for the last 17 years, and finally knuckled down over the past 12 months to finish it up. Jack's Cameo features a stout big-block/TH400 combo, a Nova front clip, and more than a few handcrafted pieces of "Cameo" trim. And, if the pickup's color combination doesn't catch your eye from at least a hundred yards away, you ought to think about getting a seeing-eye dog.Be still my beating heart! Jeremy Harris' Tangelo Pearl '64 F-100 is a stunning example of why we think mid-'60s pickups are quickly becoming the new heartthrobs of classic trucking. With a bit of help from former Custom Rodder Top-10 winner Rich Mutert, Jeremy has hit a homerun with his smoothed, slammed, big-block-powered Ford. Dig that ground-scraping stance and deftly massaged body. This baby's a definite winner in our book!Hot licks, hammered, and plenty of horsepower are this F-100's claim to fame. Dan Talley's hard-driven Old Hickory, Tennessee-based '56 is the epitome of a hot rod truck. This timeless look combined with modern 17- and 20-inch Coddington wheels is a perfect example of the success one can have when melding traditional styling with contemporary flair.Shades of the Pearson Bros., wouldn't you say? Jim Richmond wrenched his way into the heart of many a hot rod purist when he constructed this fine Effie. Jim's '54 features a treasure trove of tweaks and modifications including M-II IFS, '97 F-150 wheels, a 355/five-speed combo, a Pontiac grille, and a just-right chop job. The pickup's paint scheme and dash art, without a doubt, speak volumes of Jim's hot rod heritage.
Completely homebuilt and utterly cool! Tim Troutman's '48 F-1 proves the fact that a cool classic truck doesn't always have to be an in-your-face hot rod. Reserved styling and a nice stance can go a long way in transforming an old workhorse into a cool, classic, hot rod pickup. Of course, the addition of a Mopar clip and a 390/C6 combo helps a bit, as well. We love it!Which way to the beach? Looks like Pat Callahan knows the way! Pat's way cool '48 Suburban surf wagon would look right at home cruising the streets of Malibu, though it looked just as neat parked on the grounds of Indianapolis Raceway Park.Nothing beats a bright-red Effie when it comes to curb appeal. Chris Staneck's super fine '56 fit the bill perfectly with a killer stance and a quartet of polished five-spokes.Candy is dandy, but primer is finer! Ed Lepold's black suede '54 F-100 is right up my alley. From its chopped and sectioned body to its wide whites and Moon discs--the only way I'd like this baby any better was if it was sittin' in my driveway at home!Hood up, hood down, it made no difference to me (though it would have been nice to get a clean, buttoned-up shot). Bob Nichols' "Resale Red" '48 Chevy still stopped me in my tracks. This small block-powered beauty was a spectator magnet, and after taking a peek ourselves, we understood why.Hood up, hood down, it made no difference to me (though it would have been nice to get a clean, buttoned-up shot). Bob Nichols' "Resale Red" '48 Chevy still stopped me in my tracks.This small block-powered beauty was a spectator magnet, and after taking a peek ourselves, we understood why.Mucho, macho Mopars! We think this year's Indy was attended by more classic Mopar pickups than we've seen at any other single event! Here's a pair of fine examples: Dave and Linda Lips' small-block-powered, silver '37 Dodge,
Though the show itself was, as we stated earlier, only open to '64, we couldn't help but snap a shot of David Knoll's '70 Suburban. Dave's 350/700R4-powered super SUV serves as the muscle to tow his vintage race car. That is, we assume, when it's not transporting him and the family to a local cruise night or two.The prince and the pauper, do you suppose? Nah, just Dave Julian and Bob Martin sharing a bit of real estate. Dave's less-than-formal '47 runs a 250 inline-six and a Powerglide, while Bob's '48 relies on a 283/700-R4 combo for power.Joe Pierson's West Elkton, Ohio-based '57 Ford was lookin' good in a shiny coating of deep-blue urethane and a quartet of Moon discs. Joe's Y-block-powered shortbed is a fine example of the kind of truck we'd love to see more of!Flames anyone? Benny Strong's hot licked '48 Chevy is a definite eye catcher. The 350/350-powered beauty drew a throng of admirers throughout the weekend.Now, this baby's right up my alley. Steve and Mary Moody of Indianapolis are the proud new owners of this way cool, bare-bones '35 Ford. This ultimate hot rod pickup is a former California truck that I'd had the pleasure to lust over many times in the past. Enjoy folks, I'm jealous!You can't beat a beater! Dave Pinke's '53 GMC is a might close to the Jimmy sitting at home in my driveway, so I couldn't resist snapping a shot. Finished or not, this is a cool pickup.Looks like Lance and Carol Thompson are looking for a good home for their '47 Ford COE. The couple's 460/C6-powered super-sized pickup looks as though it'd be a blast to own and drive. They must have something awfully nice in the wings to give up such a fine piece.

The Triquetra circle was on 'The Book of Shadows' a spell book for witches, and also was on their 'Spirit Board'. Some Christians believe that the symbol was theirs' and that the witches stole it. Real life wiccans claim that they had the symbol before... so it's sorta confusing... Well I must go now, please tell me what you think!

Managing Cancer Related Fatigue
For many patients cancer related fatigue can interfere with normal routines, and limit participation in activities that make life meaningful. Monitoring your fatigue levels, exercise, nutrition counseling, and lifestyle changes can help you cope.
Cancer-related fatigue is the most common side effect of cancer treatment and can be one of the most distressing for patients. It lowers self-esteem, stresses relationships, interferes with normal routines, and can limit participation in activities that make life meaningful. Fatigue usually decreases after cancer treatment ends, but some patients may still experience symptoms for months or years after treatment is completed.
It's not all in your head!
Research suggests that between 70 and 100 percent of cancer patients getting treatment have fatigue. Often vaguely defined as a persistent sense of physical or emotional exhaustion unrelated to recent activity, cancer related fatigue is often under reported to providers.
In a recent presentation on ways to cope with cancer related fatigue, NCCC Oncology nurse Kate Wilcox reported that many patients perceive fatigue as more distressing than the pain, nausea, or vomiting they may experience during treatment " It is not all in your head," she said. Nearly every person in the room was relieved to hear her say this. "People say 'you just took a nap—you can't be that tired!'" One woman said. "I try not to be hard on myself, but asking for help is the hardest thing for me."
What are the causes of cancer related fatigue?
Usually a patient's cancer related fatigue has several different causes. Your body may be reacting to specific cancer therapies, or to changes in your immune system or hormones. Stress and anxiety can interfere with sleep cycles, which can impact mood and coping abilities. Sedating medications or other health problems like underlying heart or lung disease or infection may be contributing to fatigue. Several of these factors can negatively interact, leading to a vicious cycle of increased fatigue.
What does cancer related fatigue feel like?
- Fatigue that does not get better with rest
- Feeling weak, drained, or "washed out"
- Sleep is not restful
- Excessive need to rest
- Muscle heaviness and weakness
- Mental fogginess and diminished concentration
Talk with your provider about your level of fatigue
Wilcox recommends keeping a fatigue diary to regularly assess your level of fatigue (using a scale of 1 to 10) and describing your situation to your health care team. Treatment might include education and counseling, exercising or physical therapy, nutrition counseling, sleep therapy, supportive /expressive therapies, lifestyle changes, or medications or supplements.
Despite fatigue, be as active as you can
Most people feel better when they exercise each day. Some people even sleep and eat better when they exercise. Try to exercise every day. Even 15 to 30 minutes a day can help give you energy.
- Walk for 15 to 30 minutes each day.
- Take a short bike ride or ride an exercise bike.
- Choose an exercise routine or a sport that you enjoy.
- Ask your doctor or nurse about other exercises that can help−stretching, yoga, or Tai Chi help some people.
Do fewer things: ask for help when you feel tired
- Save your energy: do the activities that are most important to you first.
- Ask family and friends for help: they can make meals, drive you to the doctor, or help with groceries
- Learn your limits. Don't fill your day with too many activities.
Plan time to rest
- Listen to your body. Rest when you feel tired.
- Sleep at least 8 hours each night.
- Take short naps during the day. Nap for less than 1 hour at a time.
- Read a book or listen to music to relax before going to bed at night.

SAN ANTONIO (July 11, 2013) – American Hockey League President and CEO David Andrews announced today the winners of its annual Team Business Services awards, recognizing outstanding achievements in a variety of categories including ticket sales, community service and fan experience.
The Rampage ticket sales staff was recognized for their season-ticket sales growth efforts after leading the league in new season-ticket sales during the 2012-13 season.
The award is the club's third Team Business Service award in as many years, as the Rampage were named the 2011-12 AHL Ticket Sales Department of the Year and the 2011-12 Outstanding Fan Experience Award, along with earning the prestigious President's Award, given to an AHL organization for excellence in all areas off the ice following the 2010-11 season.
As part of its Team Business Services program, the AHL honored one club from each conference for top revenue growth in four areas during this past season: overall ticket sales, season-ticket sales, group-ticket sales and corporate sponsorship sales. The winners in overall ticket sales revenue growth were the Toronto Marlies (Western) and the Providence Bruins (Eastern). Winners for season-ticket sales growth were the San Antonio Rampage (Western) and the Albany Devils (Eastern). The Rochester Americans (Western) and the Springfield Falcons (Eastern) earned the awards for group-ticket sales growth, and the Toronto Marlies (Western) and St. John's IceCaps (Eastern) were recognized for their corporate sponsorship sales growth.
Additionally, teams from each conference were selected for excellence in the areas of digital media, community relations and fan experience. The Charlotte Checkers (Western) and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (Eastern) were honored for digital media excellence; the Grand Rapids Griffins (Western) and Bridgeport Sound Tigers (Eastern) earned the nods for exceptional community relations efforts; and the Chicago Wolves (Western) and Hershey Bears (Eastern) were recognized for outstanding fan experience at home games.
The AHL also honored several teams and individuals for their efforts during the 2012-13 season at the league's Marketing Meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, last month, including the St. John's IceCaps as the sponsorship sales department of the year and the Toronto Marlies as the ticket sales department of the year.
The Charlotte Checkers were also recognized for the most unique ticket sales promotion or theme night ("Checkers Crossfit Shootout"); the Oklahoma City Barons were selected for having the most unique game operations, community relations or social media promotion ("Barons Buddies"); and the St. John's IceCaps were given the award for the most unique sponsorship package or entitlement ("Turn Back the Tide").

Bucky balls
Building blocks or similar.
Lego and Transformers.
iPod Touch
I still play with them.
Also Hot Wheels. I love those. Would spend hours playing with them
Cardboard box and/or dirt. And siblings.
Tonka Trucks.
While they say they are indestructible, my brother and I were able to tear them up. However, they did last a lot longer than most of our toys.
What? No lawn darts?! WTF!
Lego for me...I just bought some the other day, actually.
Lego, the one true imagination toy!
Bicycle. We all have a need for travel, the wind in our faces, cards/balloons in our spokes, scruffy mutt on our heels.
Marbles. Anyone still have any of theirs?
GI Joe, of course. Many childhood hours were spent with mine.
blocks with channels + marbles.
Kinda funny how my mind tends to stray towards the gutter while reading this question. I will be a good girl though. ;)
@jsimsace: I agree! Followed by GI Jane. Fortunately, I never got a chance to play with Jane [that just doesn't sound right] so I still have a few different ones from the first run and a gaggle that were sold somewhere in the late 80s in a revival. All of the Janes are still in their packaging, never opened, think I should sell on Ebay and put the proceeds in my 401k?
@drj48: I'd check ebay and see if any are selling.....are they worth anything to you, or just taking up space that could be converted to cash? :)
Ball in a cup!
Or log.
@omnichad: Nintendo isn't a toy. It's a way of life.

HILLSDALE — Hillsdale had answers for almost every facet of Quincy's game Monday in both team's season openers.
Except for Ashton Diotte — who had both of Quincy's goals, including a goal to tie the game at 2-2 for good with two minutes left.
Diotte was set up by Quincy's Jake Rider on a cross-field pass in the final minutes and put one past Hillsdale keeper Ryan Bailey to knot the game for good.
"We made some mistakes defensively that cost us the game," said Hillsdale Head Coach John Harkins.
The game was played at Hillsdale's Fields of Dreams, where the Hornets will play all their home games this season.

8 Natural Ways to Kill Weeds
We've distilled some real-life tips from a selection of unbelievable designer projects.More
The Fantasy: A closet illuminated by a gorgeous chandelier.
The Reality: You don't have to live with the "boob light" that came with your closet. Instead, swap it out with a pendant light that has a slight drop. Or, yes, a (smaller) chandelier. You'll be able to see your clothing better, without the haunting glow of fluorescent lighting.
The Fantasy: A large, open dressing room that adjoins your bathroom.
The Reality: This is the kind of feature only a renovation can bring. But, you can channel the glamorous feel of this room by bringing in a tufted bench or ottoman to your bedroom. It provides a lovely place to change.

Kentucky State Police Post 3 has extended its Cram the Cruiser food drive.
KSP is moving back the cut-off date from this Friday to Sunday.
Public Affairs Officer Jonathan Biven says the extension is not for their need for more donations.
He said donations have been up this year, and he wants to give everyone the weekend to get their donations in.
"We thought we could get a little more donations to help assist families over this holiday season," Trooper Biven said.
He said Post 3 collected about 1,900 lbs of food last year.
He expects this year's donations to more than exceed that number.

Does the term separation of church and state also apply in non-Christian countries, for example Egypt? Can we say separation of mosque and state? Is there a generic, politically correct alternative that works for any country?
Sign up

You can replace church with religion, and say "separation of religion and state".
The word church in "separation of church and state" is not referring to the building used for Christian worship, or to a Christian organization, though. It is used to mean "an institutionalized religion as a political or social force". In this sense, it is more specific than religion, but it is also more generic than church used in reference to Christianity.
"In political terms, secularism is a movement towards the separation of religion and government (often termed the separation of church and state)." —Wikipedia
An online search shows that separation of mosque and state is indeed being used. Really what these phrases are talking about is having a secular government. A generic phrase would be separation of religion and state.
The term laicism could be helpful.
It depends on whether you're seeking a word that describes the existing position or one that describes the process of separation. In the United Kingdom, the Head of State is also Supreme Governor of the Church of England. The word that would describe any change in that arrangement is disestablishment. I know of no word that describes the status quo in Muslim countries or elsewhere. I think you just have to spell it out in each case. The only other state I can think of in which religious and political roles are combined in the Head of State is the Vatican. In Saudi Arabia, it is true, King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud has the title 'Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques', but I'm not sure that makes him top Muslim cleric (subject to what any Muslims can tell us).
"Separation of religion and state" would make a nice general phrase, but it's not a phrase that's actually in common use. On the other hand, I suppose if you used it people would know what you mean.
Some have used the term "separation of mosque and state", but this is not a widely used term either. Frankly I think it's mostly used as something of a light-hearted play on words.
As MetaEd says, the term "secularism" can be used to describe this idea. However, "secularism" means the separation of religion from anything, not just government, and so you must establish the context when you use it. That is, you can talk about secularism in the arts, secularism in education, secularism in entertainment, etc etc.
I don't want to turn a language question into a political/social/religious debate, but let me just point out that you might want to be careful in using this term because, in America at least, it has a very ambiguous meaning -- maybe inherent in the nature of the debate. If you say "I am in favor of separation of church and state" without explaining exactly what you mean, people could interpret that statement in widely different ways.
If you want to avoid using terms that refer to any possible place of worship, how about secularization of government? It's a bit of a mouthful, but it's as generic as I can come up with.
If you want to keep the pattern of the original phrase, you could do Separation of faith and state, where faith implies religious faith, or as others have suggested Separation of religion and state. If you still want to refer to a building, you could do Separation of temple and state, as I think temple is generic enough to refer to any house of worship. Of course that might exclude religions that don't have actual temples or houses of worship.
The phrase
is definitely used, as well as
with the latter much more popular ( shown in Google ngrams) :
Of course, the latter (with 'religion\') works for any religion and may be just a 'politically correct way of being more inclusive, considering 'church' to be too Christian restricted.
But it is very easy to understand 'church' as metaphorical for any religious institution, Christian or not (at least in a predominantly Christian audience. Ad in the same audience, the 'mosque' version does not sound metaphorical at all and seems like it refers specifically to Islamic situations. (that is, one would not use that in English to refer to the lack of separation in the ex-pat Tibetan government which is led by their religious leader, the Dalai Lama).
So in summary:
In Turkey, the direct equivalent of "separation of religion and state" is used as the short description of secularism. The word mosque does not represent or signify (or even imply) any religious institution. It only represents the actual building.
In Israel, the Hebrew version of "separation of religion and state" is used (the two are currently intertwined).
Short answer: NO
OP's over simplified assumption:
I suppose that still in the Earth, countries exist not invaded by Christianity, Islam.
For long answer, I upvoted kiamlaluno's post.

Fairfax County Youth Leadership Program (FCYLP) - About The Program
About The Program
The goal of this initiative is to inspire young people to become citizens who will share their ideas and bring their energy to local government to help develop solutions to issues communities will face in the next century.
Need for the Program
In its second year, the "Closest to the People" curriculum was expanded and adapted for middle school students. In addition, the Youth Leadership Program (YLP) was inaugurated as a component of the "Closest to the People" initiative. "Closest to the People" and the Youth Leadership Program was designed to educate the County's next generation of citizens about their local government and to create a self-perpetuating circle of information between county agencies, high school students and middle schools students.
Description of Program
Preparation for the Youth Leadership Program begins in November when applications are received and from all County high schools. Applicants are chosen from each of the 25 high schools by a selection committee of Fairfax County Public School teachers and County government personnel. Criteria include standard measurements of high school success and an interest in government issues.
Each High School selects a teacher sponsor to support the student during the program. The program begins in January and concludes the following December, therefore students enter as high school juniors and complete the program in their senior year. Students and their sponsors attend the first session in January with the County Executive, sponsoring leaders from the Department of Management and Budget, sponsoring school district personnel and the Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. This meeting, like each of the monthly meetings that follow includes a series of activities which are designed around thematic areas presented in the "Closet to the People" program of studies and the full range of County services. Activities consist of seminars, workshops, presentations by County staff, as well as interactive lessons and debates, cooperative learning experiences, and visits to County facilities. Activities take place at the Government Center and other off-campus locations and typically occur after school hours.
Following each session students must complete a work assignment. For example, following the first session, students are asked to meet with the member of the governing Board of Supervisors representing their County district. Students compose questions that reflect their districts concerns and interview their Supervisor. Information garnered through these meetings is often shared by the students in internet chat rooms as well as discussed at monthly sessions.
In addition to participation in the monthly sessions, each student is required to complete a three-week paid internship in a Fairfax County agency. The goal of the internship is to expose students to the inner workings of County government and to experience the policy-making process on a daily basis. Students are placed in a variety of sites throughout the county including the County Executive's Office, the Circuit Court, Department of Information Technology, County Attorney, Department of Family Services, Fire and Rescue, Health Department, Housing and Community Development, Recreation Services, Park Authority, Public Affairs, Office of the Sheriff, Department of Transportation, Consumer Protection, Human Resources, and the Wastewater Treatment Facility.
In October, program participants venture out as "ambassadors" for the program to speak to middle school civics classes in their high school's pyramid. Their presentation is on local government's role in their everyday lives and their experience in this program. They encourage younger students to learn more about "where they live" and to become active citizens, regardless of age. These presentations also offer participants the opportunity to use technology and develop or sharpen public speaking skills.
Use of Technology
"Closest to the People" has its own website for local government curricula, interactive government lessons and simulations. It is connected to both the County and the public school system as well.

Speaking of Balanchine...
I completely understand the idea of NOT wanting to see ABT become the second version of NYCB, but I think there's enough ballets in Balanchine's canon in which ABT can borrow from it without the chance of ABT transforming themselves in a second version of Balanchine's company. Select correctly, Balanchine's ballets could be extremely beneficial as well as challenging for the dancers as well as the audience who get to see Balanchine perform in a different house, with a different sensibility at approaching his work. I would love to see ABT take on the huge challenge at performing Balanchine's [size="3"]Liebeslieder Walzer.
[size="2"]The first time I saw that ballet I wasn't impress. In fact I was bored. But on second veiwing, I totally fell in love with it and have been every since. And from that moment on I couldn't help but wonder how the dancers of ABT would perform this exquisite ballet? ABT could invite Karin von Aroldington to stage it and work with the dancers and just thinking on who the eight dancers could possibly be is actually endless.
David Hallberg, Maxim Beloserkovsky, Marcelo Gomes, Jared Matthews would be wonderful - I think - as the gentlemen. Julie Kent, Irina Dvorovenko, Diana Vishneva {guest}, Alina Cojocaru {guest} would be enchanting as the ladies. Not to mention all the wonderful female soloists: Stella Abrera, Isabella Boylston, Maria Riccetto, Yuriko Kajiya who could possibility dance the roles. As I said just thinking on the casting itself is endless.
Totally agree that the Balanchine canon is so large and varied as to not seem repetitive to NYCB and yet still give ABT dancers an opportunity to dance a bit of Mr. B's exciting works. " Liebeslieder Waltzer" would be wonderful!!! I'd also vote for "La Sonnambula" (which I believe ABT has done in the past). What about "Danses Concertante"? Or if there's anyone still alive and around who remembers "The Card Game" . What about "Ballet Imperial"? Just a few thoughts

Cooler weather, happier me
September 11, 2012
It's getting to be mid-September already and the weather has been cooler and less humid. However today it was a bizarrely balmy 95 degrees. What? Crazy Minnesota weather, I guess. Fall is my favorite time of year anyway, but I love it even more because the drop in temperature and humidity makes my body and aching joints feel so much better – especially my stubborn right ankle. Since returning from my trip to Europe a month ago, I admit I've been having trouble staying energized and motivated to get my life together and to get back on track with health stuff (diet, exercise, weight loss, doctor appointments, ankle). However, I did go on a long bike ride around Palmer Lake a couple days ago – twice around the trail! So that's about eight miles total. My hardcore bicycling friends would probably find that distance rather wimpy, but it was the first time I ever did that, so I was pretty happy and proud. But, um, I haven't been on my bike since then. Er. TOMORROW! I just can't ride my bike or do any kind of exercise in 90 degree heat, and I think that's understandable.
Speaking of tomorrow, I have two medical appointments: my therapist at the University and my much-needed Remicade infusion appointment. I hope both of them will make me feel better in some way or another. The Remicade infusion is about a month late because of my Europe trip and that I couldn't get in right away when I made the appointment after I got back home. Surprisingly, I'm not doing too badly despite being late with the Remicade. I'm grateful to report that I'm now taking 2.5 mg of prednisone and trying to taper all the way off it. I was taking 20 mg the entire time during my trip (almost a month) and 15 mg for a couple months before that. So this is VERY GOOD news! I still would like to talk to my rheumatologist though about other treatment options. I wonder if I would do better and be able to stay off prednisone while taking one of the newer biologic drugs. Who knows – it's such a guessing game, which is frustrating and rather frightening when I stop to think about it.
In other arthritis news, the Minnesota State Fair just recently came and went (the last day was Labor Day). My sister and I volunteered at our local Arthritis Foundation chapter's booth in the Education Building. I've been volunteering at this off and on for several years now and it's always a fun time. This year was my sister's second time volunteering there with me, I think, and I was really appreciative of her wanting to come with me. As with any job that deals with communicating with the general public, working at the booth is a great place for people watching and meeting all types of people. I try not to laugh sometimes when people come up to us and ask health questions, wanting some kind of diagnosis. Look at my finger, does this look like arthritis? Er, yes, well thank you for showing me your finger, but I think you should ask your doctor that question. I completely understand people wanting answers though, especially when they don't feel well and are in pain. But sometimes the questions people would ask us over the years were so ridiculous. Many people just wanted to talk to someone else about having the disease, which only enforces my view of arthritis being a lonely, emotionally isolating disease as well as a serious physical one. This year I talked at length with a friendly old man who told me all about his knee replacement surgeries and how he can't eat gluten anymore and now shops at a co-op and is learning how to cook since his wife recently passed away and I can't remember what else. He was a lovely, sweet guy to talk to but I also felt kind of sad, because I think despite his health problems, he was mostly just lonely for someone to talk to about them. But I am (almost) always happy to listen and I feel great empathy for people who need to talk to others who also have arthritis. I, too, often feel alone and isolated and like I live in this weird bubble-world where nobody else can understand what I'm going through on a daily basis. It's important to have others you can talk to about it, and I went too many years after I was first diagnosed not having anyone to talk to other than my cold, emotionless doctor. I'm so thankful to have made new friends around my own age over the last few years who also have RA. And I'm happy I decided to change doctors five years ago.
But anyway, volunteering at the State Fair was really fun and I'm glad I did it again this year. Despite my diet, I had to eat some gross/delicious mini donuts as well as one of my favorite foods at the Fair – roasted corn on the cob! I think I did a pretty good job not giving in to temptation and scarfing down every disgusting fried food in sight (and it was available everywhere you looked).

How do you start a blog? I have RA and vasculitis. Over a year ago my dr. Wanted me to try enbrel. My gut told me no since I had seen what it did to my daughter. Anyway, it put a lot of weight on me among other nasty side effects. Am now on Orencia which finally seems to be helping. I am also on the dreaded prednisone, 20mg per day. I hate this disease. I feel ugly and at times I hurt so bad I have to take a day for complete rest with heat. Does one ever lose the weight? Never in a million yrs. Did I think I would feel so old and useless. How do people handle this?

Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about making my
own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks

I was reading Leverage, and listening to a podcast on it, and came up with the idea of modeling this in FATE, or perhaps even in the non-critical parts (non-magical and non-combat) of my Dresden Files game to help with the fluidity of the story.
"Competence Porn" is a term coined to describe the genre of Leverage and things like it, when highly (supremely?) competent people come together for a common goal. They rarely if ever fail if they are operating in their wheelhouse- failures instead become obstacles that they must apply their expertise to in order to justify their success or that complicate their success, i.e. the thief cracks the safe handily, but the mark is coming in the singular door to the vault room as the final tumbler moves into place.
I have a few ideas on how to model this, but wanted to know if there were any FATE implementations of such an idea that already existed, and/or if anyone had done such a thing and had other suggestions.
Spoiler tagging my ideas so far in case others were interested as I'm very interested in if possible getting implementations with no pre-conceived notions of what could be done:
Each player has an aspect that applies to/describes one skill that is their specialty. Any failure when using that specialty places an aspect on the scene that either compels the player, or can be tagged with subsequent attempts to get out of the obstacle. I was even thinking of treating this as an assessment to represent the character's quick wit that the player might not possess in such a situation.

Fireboy Manual Discharge Cables
Fireboy High-Temperature Manual Discharge Cables allow for the manual discharge of an MA2 or GA Series system when smoke or flames are detected and meet the U.S. Coast Guard flame-test guidelines for fire resistance. Determine the length of cable needed by measuring from the extinguisher head to the desired location where the red T-handle can be easily pulled. Use the shortest allowable cable when possible. Maximum allowed bending of the cable (in degrees) should not exceed 360° and should be taken into consideration when selecting the cable length.

Barton M. Blum
Red spruce (Picea rubens), also known as yellow spruce, West Virginia spruce, eastern spruce, and he-balsam, is one of the more important conifers in the northeastern United States and adjacent Canada. It is a medium-size tree that may grow to be more than 400 years old. The wood of red spruce is light in color and weight, straight grained, and resilient. It is used for making paper, for construction lumber, and for musical stringed instruments. Its many uses rival those of eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) (21).

Can I use wine yeast to ferment a beer? What sort of problems might I encounter that are unique to wine yeast trying to ferment malt sugars? What sort of flavor differences might I encounter?
You can use any kind of yeast to ferment a beer, but the problem lies in the results. Wine/champagne yeast fermentents different sugars. In particular, wine yeast doesn't ferment maltotriose, one of the main sugars in beer wort. The result is that you're left with beer that doesn't quite taste like beer. In addition, you may end up with a higher FG.
Apparently, yes. (I've been reading and listening to various things over the last couple of days)
To elaborate on Denny's answer:
This beer is made with champagne yeast, and it's really, really tasty.
My recycled beer with wine yeast is doing me just fine, so far. After 4 weeks I decanted 4 litres but replaced the water and added more sugar. Just done the same again and still tastes good with a kick. Any similar experiences?
I've replaced the yeast that came with a beer kit with wine yeast doubled the recommended sugar level and even though it took a month to do its thing the results were dramatic . I love Carlsberg Special Brew and my own brew wipes the floor with it when it comes to alcohol content , taste is o.k. and its a wee bit cloudy but it's very drinkable and leaves one very , very drunk after only 2 or 3 pints

Several school districts in western Kentucky have agreed to seek legal advice as they weigh whether to help pay off a $60 million deficit incurred by the Kentucky School Board Insurance Trust.
The Kentucky New Era reports that the West Kentucky Education Cooperative and the Green River Regional Educational Cooperative agreed to split the $7,000 cost to have Bowling Green attorney Michael Owsley investigate the original contract between the districts and the trust.
The Kentucky School Board Insurance Trust provided districts with low-cost insurance for more than two decades, covering items such as workers' compensation and property.
The trust announced in January that it would disband due to financial woes, and informed school districts across the state that they would have to pay outstanding insurance claims.

No Wanted Stars. Police realism, long searches., Suspect descriptions / license plate
When I blow things up in a crowded city, it seems strange that the police would stop looking for me or my car / license plate if I run / drive a short distance away. The mod Arrest Warrant seems amazing in adding recognition capacity / crimes that last over time, but I feel that we should go one step further and remove the 'chase-is-immediately-over-if-get-far-away' aspect entirely of 'stars,' and search radii, (except to calculate how many police forces to send.)
Instead, the police should do what they do in reality, put your photo (if they have it,) on the news and have pedestrians identify you. Put your license plate on the news / APB for other cops throughout the city. You shouldn't be able to keep the same car/plates just by fleeing a certain distance. And if nobody has a description of the criminal (no pedestrians with cell phones or police officers see the actual crime, they just report gunshots or whatever,) then you shouldn't be arrested if you try to 'blend in with the crowd' by slipping through a few alleys. As it is now, if I acquire a wanted star without anyone getting a description of my face (or maybe I wore a mask, etc.) even if I sleuth through alleys and change clothes and walk through the street, the police would still 'know' I was flagged, and that's pretty unrealistic.
I'm looking into how to script what I've described. If Arrest Warrant is possible then everything above should be implementable. Can anyone offer any suggestions as where to start? I looked at the examples in the ScriptHook install but it only lists a few functions. Does anyone have a link to the whole library of possible inputs? I must have overlooked it but I keep looking for documentation / API references for ScriptHook / anything to see how Arrest Warrant works and I can't seem to find it. Would greatly appreciate relevant citations.
*Not requesting that anyone else code this, just looking for references to start making it happen

I have an audio file (Music + Vocals) and I have an instrumental (Music Only). Is there a program or some way I can take the music file and subtract the instrumental leaving only the vocals? (Full Song - Music = Vocals Only)
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 24 '14 at 12:01
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
Audio waves are additive, so if you play back the inverse of a waveform against the original waveform, they'll cancel out to nothing.
So if you have the exact instrumental, you can invert the waveform and play it against the original recording, which will mostly leave only the vocals intact. It's not the same as having the original tracks, since there won't be the same fidelity (you're subtracting from the mastered final so there's going to be a bit of loss of resolution) but this should get you pretty close.
You can use a waveform editor like Audacity to do this. You might have to shift one of your recordings forwards or backwards in time a bit to get the samples to line up; this is particularly the case if they came from separate sources that may have been encoded separately.
Happy remixing ;)
Although this is already answered I made a tutorial on this a while back also showing how you can do this in Ableton Live.
Here's a picture illustrating what Warrior Bob said:
There's a VST plugin to do basically this, called Extra Boy. I haven't tried it myself, so can't vouch for its effectiveness.

After death which of our body's metabolic processes will continue functioning for the longest?
My answer isn't researched; it is speculative.
I interpret metabolic processes as anabolic or catabolic processes. I assert that only anaerobic processes can continue for a long time after vegetative death (the epithelia could house a counter-example of a post-mortem process, but I can't think of one), and I speculate that only catabolic processes are likely to have sufficient pools of reactants to continue after death. So we're looking for a catabolic process with a large reactant pool. Therefore I think that the action of digestive proteases will continue for the longest time, because these enzymes are very stable and could have a lot of substrate around (including, at a very slow rate, cleaving each other.) The neutralization of stomach pH would inactivate this process...I don't know how long that takes.
If something like blood clotting is considered a metabolic process, then probably that continues the longest. The binding of CO₂ by hemaglobin is probably faster than blood clotting. Again, I don't really consider those processes to be metabolic.

The OFWC Woman's Club of Steubenville started its 2012-13 club season off on a somber note, remembering two longtime members who passed away since the women last assembled for a meeting in June.
A moment of silence was observed for Shirley Mitchell, the club's treasurer for the past 16 years, and Joan Powell when the club held its kickoff meeting Thursday at the Steubenville Country Club.
Beth Rupert Warren offered a devotion entitled "Forever Friends" in their memory and led the group in prayer before lunch was served. Hostesses were Donna Keagler and Jan Glaub Rainbolt.
Article Photos
Shirley Valuska, left, was presented a life member certificate by Kathy Mills, president of the Woman's Club of Steubenville.
--Janice Kiaski
English professor and author John Holmes, left, talks about "Remembering Steubenville: From Frontier Fort to Steel Valley" with Eileen Krupinski, vice president and program chairman, before Holmes' presentation Thursday to the Woman's Club of Steubenville.
-- Janice Kiaski
The club normally meets on the first Monday of the month, but met Thursday instead because of the Labor Day holiday. It will resume that schedule starting in October with meetings through December. It will no longer meet in January and February in anticipation of bad weather, picking up with a March-through-June 2013 meeting calendar.
The lunch was very good - salad, chicken crepes, apple pie and ice cream - and so was the company. I enjoyed sitting next to local author Karen Majoris-Garrison with our conversation running the gamut of writing and horses to finding time and making time in the framework of what typically is hectic day-to-day living.
Eileen Krupinski, vice president program chair, introduced guest speaker John R. Holmes, an English professor at Franciscan University of Steubenville since 1985 whose fascination with Steubenville began in 1991 when he was asked to portray Steubenville's namesake, Friedrich Wilhelm Von Steuben. Dressed in period attire, Holmes is a commercial staple touting downtown Steubenville "where everyone knows your name."
Krupinski said that over the summer she had read Holmes' book - "Remembering Steubenville: From Frontier Fort to Steel Valley" published in 2009 by History Press, its focus entirely local histories. Rather than giving a "book report" herself, Krupinski let Holmes, a native of Buffalo, N.Y., do it instead.
Minus the wig, costume and accent familiar to Holmes' portrayal of Von Steuben, Holmes said he wrote the book despite not being a native of the area and despite his training to write about literature, not history.
He concentrated on characters with a story to tell, touching at the meeting on Bezaleel Wells, who literally laid out Steubenville and built the first woolen mill in the United States in Steubenville in 1815 after bringing to the area the first Merino sheep that produced more wool at less cost.
He also mentioned Hetty Elizabeth Beatty, whose husband Charles, a Presbyterian minister, founded the Steubenville Female Seminary in 1829. Hetty was the principal of the school that closed in 1898, educating an estimated 5,000 in its history. It was Hetty's suggestion that a "nice school for girls" needed to open, a pioneering idea that "a solid education for girls was an important thing."
For those who aren't history buffs, stories of Steubenville's past are interesting for sure.
Copies of the book sell for $19.99 - as Holmes quipped "darn near $20" - and are available locally at Historic Fort Steuben's Visitors Center. Part of the proceeds benefit the fort, so Holmes encourages a purchase there.
Kathy Mills presided at the business meeting, beginning her second two-year term as president.
At the board meeting in August held at Eat 'n Park, Warren was elected secretary to fill a vacancy, and Garrison was elected treasurer. Warren's election leaves the membership chairman position open, which Mills noted is an important one indeed.
While the club needs someone to step up to the plate and assume that responsibility, Mills reminded the members how they all have the ability to recruit members to join the organization. "Everyone has the potential to get just one person," Mills said. "Otherwise we won't have a Steubenville Woman's Club," Mills said, encouraging members to share with others what the club is all about - "serving other people, helping other people, what this club was based on. Don't let people think we're 'lunch ladies.' We serve this community."
The meeting also included applause for Dolores Dooley and her work on the club's program booklet, which incidentally, in addition to noting the passing of Mitchell and Powell, also notes the deaths of Catherina Lancia and Exel Weinman.
Members offered suggestions on what charities they'd like to see some club money support.
The meeting ended with Mills presenting a life member certificate to Shirley Valuska, who is beginning her 46th year in the club. In talking with Valuska afterwards, she joined the woman's club after having been in the junior woman's club, which was in its day limited to 100 members and always had a waiting list.
The Oct. 1 noon luncheon meeting at the country club will feature the Rev. Richard Davis, vice president of community relations at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, whose topic will be "This is My Life." Davis will share memories of growing up on the south side of Buffalo, N.Y.
Krupinski and Dooley will serve as greeters and hostesses.
