beautiful, bought 5, but ......
By Liora
from Catskill Mountains, New York
Best Uses
I purchased 5 and almost returned one garlandbecause the battery was difficult to put in place,causing the leds to be somewhat dimmer. Decidednot to bother sending it back.the other fourgarlands I purchased were fine (ONCE I managed toget the batteries in place........difficult because the small rubber band at the top had atendency to move out of place.....frustrating.......never the less.....I am keeping all 5 garlands........Hammacher Schlemmer guarantees all their products and should the batteries create a real issue, I canalways call customer service.........although Itend to think it won't be necessary for four of the garlands........the fifth -which was slightly defective might create an issue......I'll knowwhen I have to change the batteries.All in all.......highly recommend these lovelygarlands.......They create warmth and beauty inany room they are placed without being "too much".
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Well, we've got two seats reserved for the likes of you. We're offering two registration-only scholarships for November's Tech Seminar in Seattle. The rules are simple—we won't hold your bright-eyed idealism against you—so check it out here.

"The Easter [T]riduum of the passion and resurrection of Christ," according to the General Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar (18), "is the culmination of the entire liturgical year." And the Roman Missal includes this important rubric: "For a fitting celebration of the Sacred Triduum, a sufficient number of lay ministers is required, who must be carefully instructed as to what they are to do. The singing of the people, the ministers, and the Priest Celebrant has a special importance in the celebrations of these days, for when texts are sung, they have their proper impact." It is not surprising, therefore, that the Triduum has also been the emotional heart of the year, attracting dramatic hyperbole in hymns, homilies, and heartfelt poetry.
Lent ends at sunset on Holy Thursday, and the Paschal (or Easter) Triduum begins then. It is one liturgical service spread over three days. Beginning with the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday and concluding with solemn evening prayer on Easter Sunday, it incorporates at least three liturgies of the Word, at least two liturgies of the Eucharist, a Communion service from the reserved Sacrament, at least one day of fasting and abstinence, a solemn foot washing, a communal veneration of the cross, an extended service of light, a service of sacramental initiation, and selected times of prayer from the liturgy of the hours.
There may be three days and multiple services, but the Easter Triduum is one great celebration of the paschal mystery of Christ's death and resurrection. These days present a variety of challenges for pastoral musicians. In addition to the Easter Sunday Masses - also part of the Triduum - there are the three major celebrations that lead to Easter morning: the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday evening, the Celebration of the Lord's Passion on Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil on Saturday night.
These three liturgies constitute a single celebration of Christ's paschal mystery, yet there is movement within each celebration and from one to the next. The Triduum may begin by proclaiming "glory in the cross" in the entrance song on Holy Thursday evening and may conclude with the singing of Alleluias at the Easter Vigil, but along the way there are moments of proclamation, prayer, and ritual action that plunge us into a rich tapestry of human experience and divine mystery in the death and resurrection of Christ.
Here are some musical dimensions of the Triduum liturgies to which pastoral musicians should pay special attention:
Musical Shape of the Triduum.The General Instruction of the Roman Missal directs that instruments be used only to support the singing from the Gloria on Holy Thursday until the Gloria of the Easter Vigil. This norm suggests that there should be no instrumental music apart from singing and little if any instrumental elaboration connected to the singing. Some communities continue to observe the former practice of using no instruments during this period. For specific music suggestions - apart from suggestions given here for the psalms for Holy Thursday and Good Friday and some other key ritual moments unique to these days - consult your parish's tradition for these most traditional days, the Lenten suggestions given in this guide, and the Easter Sunday suggestions.
Acclamations and Service Music. It would be very appropriate to use different settings of the Mass parts for the liturgies of Holy Thursday and the Easter Vigil to express the different emphases of these two Eucharistic celebrations. Additionally, there are many ritual actions during the Triduum that invite the participation of the assembly through sung acclamations: on Good Friday, the Showing of the Holy Cross; at the Easter Vigil, the opening proclamation of light, the solemn Alleluia, the blessing of baptismal water, and the baptisms.
Dialogues.The dialogues are among the most important sung parts of the liturgy (see Sing to the Lord, 115a). Musicians can help to provide gentle and loving coaching for priests and deacons who may be a little frightened of singing the preface dialogue (used both for the Eucharistic Prayer and the Easter Proclamation), the greetings, and the blessing. Make sure that the deacon (or priest) and choir are prepared to sing the dismissal and response at the end of the Easter Vigil with its double Alleluia.
Psalms.The liturgies of the Triduum make generous use of the psalms, especially during the Easter Vigil's extended Liturgy of the Word and, of course, at solemn Easter Evening Prayer. Make careful choices that require little if any instrumental support in order to maintain the musical shape of the Triduum and to allow the texts of the psalms to be proclaimed with as little encumbrance as possible.
Sequence.The Easter sequence Victimae paschali is as much a part of the celebration of Easter Day (it is not part of the Vigil) as are other non-scriptural texts used in the liturgy (the collect texts, the renewal of baptismal promises). It is a required part of the celebration, and as a hymn text it should be sung immediately before the Alleluia. Any of the published musical settings may be used, using the text from the Lectionary, another translation, or even a paraphrase. It may be sung straight through by all together, or in a responsorial setting for assembly with choir or cantor, or by the choir or cantor alone (see Sing to the Lord, 166). Some communities combine the Easter sequence with the Gospel Acclamation and sing it during an extended Gospel procession, while the Book of the Gospels, accompanied by candles and incense, is carried through the congregation as a symbol of the risen Lord.
Liturgical Songs.There are both familiar and special ritual actions calling for liturgical songs during the Triduum. The Holy Thursday liturgy includes not only songs for the entrance, preparation of the gifts, and Communion but also for the washing of the feet and for the transfer of the Eucharist. On Good Friday, there are liturgical songs for the two great processions - veneration of the cross and Communion. At the Easter Vigil there should be songs for the sprinkling of the assembly with blessed water, the preparation of the gifts, and Communion. The Roman Missal provides official texts and, in some cases, music for all of these ritual actions, many of them of long-standing tradition and deeply expressive of the mysteries being celebrated, such as Ubi caritas for the preparation of the gifts and Pange lingua gloriosi for the Eucharistic procession on Holy Thursday. A number of composers have created contemporary musical settings of some of these texts.
The Whole Community. These liturgies bring together the entire parish community in ways that the Sunday liturgy does not. Even in parishes with a diversity of music groups, there should ideally be one group of musicians (combined, if possible, from all the parish's musicians) to serve the singing assembly for these celebrations. In parishes with a variety of cultural groups, the voices, images, and languages of all should be part of this central celebration in the church year and in the life of the community.

LISTEN: Ariana Grande releases 'Last Christmas'
Listen to Ariana Grande on iHeartRadio
Ariana Grande is releasing the first of her new holiday music. She started on Tuesday with an R&B-tinged cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas."
While Ariana keeps the song's original hook the same, she takes some liberties with some of the other lyrics updating words in the second verse.
According to "MTV News," the track was produced by Babyface and The Rascals, who are lending a hand to the rest of Ariana's Christmas music that will continue to roll out in the weeks ahead of the holiday.
Three more songs will be released on iTunes, but the tunes won't come out in a standalone album. Ariana's "Last Christmas" broke into the top ten on iTunes charts within hours of its release Tuesday.
The singer is also on the line-up for this year's Jingle Ball, stopping in several U.S. cities to perform her new music.

SEAL BEACH - The city of Seal Beach announced Tuesday that it will soon close a trust fund set up for the families and victims of the worst mass shooting in Orange County history.
Those who would still like to contribute to the Seal Beach Victim's Fund Trust must do so by Dec. 30, said city officials.
All funds raised for the trust will benefit the families and survivors of the Oct. 12 shootings at Salon Meritage, 500 Pacific Coast Highway in Seal Beach.
Scott Evans Dekraai is charged with capital murder for allegedly storming the salon where his ex-wife Michelle Fournier worked and going on a murderous rampage.
The 42-year-old Huntington Beach man is charged with killing Fournier, 48, and seven others: salon owner Randy Lee Fannin, 62; Victoria Ann Buzzo, 54; Lucia Bernice Kondas, 65; Laura Lee Elody, 46; Christy Lynn Wilson, 47; Michele Daschbach Fast, 47; and David Caouette, 64.
A ninth victim, Hattie Stretz, was the lone gunshot survivor. The 73-year-old Los Alamitos resident was at the salon where her daughter, Elody, worked.
Police and prosecutors say a bitter battle over full custody of the couple's 8-year-old son tipped Dekraai over the edge.
The trust has resulted in thousands of dollars in funds already distributed to the victims. It is the only city-organized and city-run trust that oversees all of the community fundraising efforts.
"The trustees are in the process of evaluating all final requests for support by victims and their families at this time," said Seth Eaker, a trustee and communications liaison for the fund.
A second disbursement of funds is expected to be made in the first half of January, according to the city's announcement. Therefore all funds must received at the Bank of America on Main Street in Seal Beach by Dec. 30.
"Currently, no other organization or agency has come forward as an impartial and jointly supported fund for any other long-term fundraising or related activities," Eaker noted.
That means if anyone claims to be raising funds for the trust after the end of the year, they are not legitimate, authorities warned.
The city of Seal Beach, and many nearby communities, have come out in full support of the victims' families and the survivors since the tragedy, holding hair cut-a-thons, bake sales and other events to raise money for the trust, Eaker said. Some of the biggest donors include Old Ranch Country Club, Phillips Steel, San Pedro Bait Company, Universal Plant Services, Safeway/Vons Corp., the grass-roots organizers and supporters of the "Support in Love" T-shirt and logo merchandise and the Ernie Ball Corp.

Terrariums allow us to maintain a wide variety of growing conditions for plants that can add extraordinary beauty and a sense of serenity for the home or office. By using the proper materials and with the right choice of plants and soils, you can transform any living space into a source of pride and natural splendor. Just like aquariums and other indoor habitats, proper care of a terrarium does require a certain amount of discipline and attention to detail. Once established, you will find that the effort was well worth it.
Terrariums are important and useful. Many parts of the world are known for exotic plant life. Conditions must be right for many species of plants to thrive and survive. From the rainforests of South America to the South Pacific, beauty abounds thanks to Mother Natures ability to create just the right environment. Even desert climates offer a wide variety of plant life that require little moisture but survive in ecosystems no less delicate and fragile than those found in more lush climates.
In order to create the proper growing conditions for your terrarium, there are several key elements, all of which must be carefully considered to ensure that your habitat will be a welcome environment for type of plants you select. Whether you choose plants of lush greenery or a dry desert setting, the size of your terrarium is probably the most important consideration. The good news is that no matter what size you choose, the step up of the growing space is roughly the same though larger terrariums will require slightly more maintenance.
The size of your terrarium can range from a desktop bowl to an ornate, free standing tank and all sizes in between. Once you have settled on the appropriate size, the selection of plants you wish to use will determine the type of growing conditions you must create. As with all living things, the right combination of light and moisture are critical considerations when trying to establish the right growing conditions.
Many desktop displays can be adequately maintained utilizing existing room light while others may require the addition of fuller spectrum lighting. All terrariums need to have a transparent top to along with transparent sides to maximize all of the available light. Larger terrariums almost always necessitate specialized lighting conditions that can add to the initial cost.
The proper lighting not only serves to help the plants grow as they should, but lighting can be used to control other such variables as temperature and moisture. The more complex the terrarium design, the more attention must be paid to heat and light. Just as with aquariums, some type of auxiliary heating system may be needed. The existing ambient room conditions can also play a big part here.
The worlds great deserts can be foreboding place for humans. In fact, many people consider think of the desert as barren and inhospitable. To the contrary, deserts are alive with plant and animal live that exists nowhere else in the world. The flora and fauna of the desert have evolved over eons, adapting to these unique environments. Many deserts are situated between mountain ranges. Precipitation, whether in the form of rain or snow, can eventually make its way down to the desert floor. The deserts of the American Southwest are often the scene of tremendous rain storms that can cause flash flooding.
Despite sparse moisture, brutal heat and bone chilling cold, a surprising lush variety of plant life survives and thrives in desert climates. The best known desert plants are the succulents like cactus which are ideal for a desert terrarium environment. A properly established desert terrarium requires very little maintenance.
Venus fly traps are one of several varieties of carnivorous plant species that can be a great addition to any plant terrarium. With many species that are native to North America, there are thought to be six hundred or so species of carnivorous or insectivorous plants worldwide. A plant terrarium can be used to imitate growing conditions that are not normally found here in North America. Creating the proper microenvironment can add to and extend the enjoyment of your carnivorous plant terrarium.
Like humans and many animals, carnivorous plants are indeed meat-eaters. It is important to remember that there is no such thing a man-eating plant. The idea of a man-eating plant has been largely the creation of the movies, television, folklore and ancient mythology.
The Venus fly trap is the probably the best know species of carnivorous terrarium plant. The highly unique nature of this infamous plant is the ability to lure its prey using a combination of color and moisture. Often referred to as a snap trap, fly traps most often prey on insects and are known to consume a variety of protein sources, including spiders.
It is very important to remember that not all terrariums are created equal. There are some terrariums, known as riparuims that are especially designed and built to house small land creatures like frogs. Some folks make the mistake of trying to use a plant terrarium to keep small land creatures and the results can be sadly predictable with the creature escaping into the room or not being able to survive in environment for which it was not intended.
So make sure to choose carefully when making your purchase decision.
There are numerous resources available that allow the novice plant enthusiast access to the information needed to create a welcome growing space for a wide variety of plants. People of all ages can learn much about the vast range of ecosystems and plant life on this beautiful planet and terrariums

COLUMBUS — A Columbus teacher is scheduled to be in federal court in Memphis, Tenn., on Oct. 3 to answer charges she participating in a scheme in which teacher candidates would hire others to take certification tests.
WCBI-TV reports 34-yeard-old Darcel Gardner, a special education teacher at Columbus High School, was placed on administrative leave yesterday by the school board.
Federal court records show she is free $5,000 bond on charges of mail fraud and aiding and abetting. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
Federal prosecutors in Memphis say the scheme involved teacher certification tests in Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas.
In July, Clarence Mumford Sr. of Memphis was charged with fraud and identity theft. Prosecutors alleged he is the ringleader of a group of individuals who were paid to take teacher certification examinations on behalf of aspiring teachers dating back to 1995.
According to the indictment, Gardner paid Mumford $1,000 to have someone take her Praxis biology licensing test on April 25, 2009. She mailed Mumford the money and her driver's license on April 22, 2009, the indictment states.
As a result of getting a passing grade on the test, prosecutors say she got her Mississippi teacher's certification in biology in July 2011.
The scheme was first uncovered in 2010 and prosecutors say it involves more than 50 teachers and test-takers. Mumford allegedly would make fake driver's licenses which the bogus test-takers would show testing officials to get by identification requirements.

My wife suspects the first character translates to "Strong".
The symbol is very old and stumped her for a bit.
My Korean wife reads and writes Chinese (traditional and simplified) /Japanese and Korean.
Traditionally, they all (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) share nearly the same character set, but the Koreans began using their own alphabet about 200 years ago.
Of course this still does not explain what they mean together...

Simply Stunning - Worth Every Penney
By Bucky The Bear
from Albuquerque NM
Best Uses
This is a large, unique holiday yard decoration which stands out, even down the street. It's simple, yet elegant design complements any architectural design from Victorian to Southwest Adobe.As good as it looks in the pictures in the catalog, it is even more stunning in person. It is well designed, making it easy to asemble. It is sturdy construction so it should last for generations, and can become an heirloom to pass to children and grandchild.The price was a concern at first, however this is not a hardware store, or department store decoration, which tend to be flimsy, of poor quality and dont last. This is well made and worth every penny we paid.My wife and I are very pleased with this product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

No. 21 Pre-Fall 2012
Designers have been mining a man's closet for inspiration for the past few seasons now. But given that outerwear has been under the spotlight for pre-fall—arguably a gentleman's strong suit—that approach has risen to the surface quite literally. For some it was an oversize blazer, for others a quilted hunting jacket, but if No. 21's Alessandro Dell'Acqua has his way, the most essential men's-inspired layer that women will want to throw on for pre-fall will be a bomber jacket. That tough outer shell is hardly what you'd expect from a designer who cites the ultra-feminine Italian screen sirens of the 1960s as perennial muses. He found several ingenious ways to soften the masculine undercurrent, unraveling the building blocks of utility and reconstructing them in the image of his very chic woman. One bomber came with a glittering sequin collar, for example, while another was morphed with a Crombie coat so that the crisp silk zippered bomber sleeves had a tailored woolen body. The most appealing rendition of the jacket was gilded in gold brocade and paired with a matching pencil skirt. Given that the cardigan-and-pencil-skirt combo is being primed as a new ladylike uniform for spring, Dell'Acqua kicks that idea up a notch.
Much of that youthful attitude was elsewhere in the collection. The short flirty line of a pleated mini was paired with a billowing cape, and slouchy oversize pajama pants came with charming printed T-shirts with Pop color collars, a leitmotif carried over from last season. Dell'Acqua's languid, lingerie-inspired dresses made him a red-carpet favorite in the late 1990s, and it's nice to see hints of that past seeping into his daywear—most of the cozy, cropped, chunky sweaters came with diaphanous panels of lace, a welcome touch of La Dolce Vita indeed.

WATCH: Lady Gaga covers 'Glamour'
Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Lady Gaga covers the Glamour Women of the Year issue, opening up to the magazine about beauty, her perceived rivalry with Madonna, and why she wears those crazy costumes.
Interviewer Andy Cohen asks Gaga about her confidence.
"I'm confident in who I am," she says. "I've come to a place in my life where I've accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That's just the way I've always tried to be. It didn't change when I became a star."
Asked whether she considers herself "beautiful," Gaga has an interesting response.
She answers, "Not conventionally beautiful. If there was some sort of mathematical equation for beauty, I don't know if I would be the algorithm. I've always been OK with that. I'm not a supermodel. That's not what I do."
"What I do is music," explains Gaga. "I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what's happening on the outside."
In fact, she wonders if beauty can "get in the way."
"In some ways, the outfits — these creations are because I don't want to face the reality of what people want from a female pop star," reveals Gaga. "Everybody always laughs because I feel so much more comfortable with, like, a giant paper bag on my whole body and paint on my face."
She continues, "Sometimes I try really hard to take it all off. But inevitably what's underneath is still not a straight edge. And I don't think it ever will be."
As for leaving behind her actual name, the star says that she's bothered when people who don't know her well call her Stefani.

Hollings Library dedication focus of ETV program
The University of South Carolina's dedication of the Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library will be the focus of ETV's "The Big Picture" Thursday, July 29.
The 30-minute ETV news affair show, hosted by Mark Quinn, will air at 7:30 p.m. and feature highlights from the July 23 dedication, including clips of Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Fritz Hollings, Rep. James Clyburn and USC President Harris Pastides. It also will feature news clips from throughout Hollings' career and Quinn's interview of Hollings after the dedication event.
The Hollings Library also will be the focus of ETV Radio's broadcast of "The Big Picture" at 1 p.m. Friday, July 30. The program will feature some sound clips from the July 29 broadcast as well as interviews with Clyburn, Herb Hartsook, director of USC's South Carolina Political Collections, and Tripp King, former state director for Hollings and special assistant to the dean of University Libraries.
"The Big Picture" will re-air noon (ETV) and 9 p.m. (NPR) Sunday, Aug 1.
More than 1,200 friends and family of Hollings, as well as dignitaries and university faculty, staff and students, attended the library dedication.
The Hollings library, which is connected to the Thomas Cooper Library by a glass-enclosed walkway on the main level, was completed in June. In addition to the S.C. Political Collections, the $18 million, 50,000-square-foot facility will house the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections and Digital Collections. Hollings was instrumental in securing the $14 million in federal funds for the building. The cornerstone of the S.C. Political Collections is the collection of Hollings' personal papers, which he gave to the university in 1989.

13 Winter Weather Power Outage Safety Tips
The latest wave of freezing rain, ice and snow could cause power outages in the area over the next several days.
The nonprofit Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) offers the following tips for residents to stay safe and comfortable while the power is out now and during the next freeze:
Family Safety
- Never burn charcoal for heating or cooking indoors. Avoid opening the refrigerator or freezer.
- Unplug or disconnect any electrical devices that were in use when the power went out. Turn off all lights but one, to alert you when power resumes.
- Check on elderly neighbors, friends or relatives who may need assistance during the outage.
- Do not use candles as they pose a fire hazard. Always keep a supply of flashlights, batteries and a battery-powered radio on hand.
- Resist the temptation to call 9-1-1 for information–that's what your battery-powered radio is for.
- Wear many layers and use blankets to keep warm while the power is out.
- If you have a generator, remember do not run it inside a home or garage. Use gas-powered generators only in well-ventilated areas.
- Connect only individual appliances to portable generators.
- Don't plug emergency generators into electric outlets or hook them directly to your home's electrical system – as they can feed electricity back into the power lines, putting you and line workers in danger.
When Power Returns
- When power comes back on, it may come back with momentary "surges" or "spikes" that can damage equipment such as computers and motors in appliances like the air conditioner, refrigerator, washer or furnace.
- When power is restored, wait a few minutes before turning on major appliances to help eliminate further problems caused by a sharp increase in demand.

Brevard takes the bite and two games from the BulldogsApril 1, 2012
Fowler and Miller lead Tornados to 2-0 and 4-1 victories
Brevard, N.C. - Brittany Fowler recorded five hits and Alyssa Miller recorded two doubles and two runs to go with a complete game on the mound as Brevard swept visiting Wingate University on Sunday afternoon at the BC Softball Field, 2-0 and 4-1.
Kayla Clemens (11-11) recorded her third shutout of the season in the first game, scattering four hits in going the distance for Brevard (18-18, 7-7 SAC), while Miller (7-7) escaped a seventh inning jam to defeat Wingate (21-19, 5-7 SAC) and hand Miranda Paul (17-17) her second loss on the day.
Game One: Brevard 2, Wingate 0
Box Score
Fowler went 3-for-3 in the first game and Brittany Tucker and Chelsi Mallory drove in RBIs as the Tornados opened the first game of the series with the 2-0 victory.
Brevard got on the board in the bottom of the third as Brittany Jones and Fowler led off the inning with back-to-back singles off Paul to give BC two runners on with zero outs. Tucker followed with bunt single, fielding by the pitcher and her relay went past first base into right field allowing Jones to score from second for the first run of the game.
The Tornados plated the final run of the contest in the bottom of the fifth as Fowler led off with a base hit to left centerfield and Tucker followed with a perfectly placed bunt between the infielders allowing Fowler to reach third base. Mallory drove a deep fly ball to right field, allowing Fowler to score to give Clemens an insurance run.
Wingate placed runners on base in both the sixth and the seventh innings, but were unable to push across a run to break up the shutout attempt as the Tornados topped the Bulldogs in the first game of the series.
Game Two: Brevard 4, Wingate 1
Box Score
Maddie Fletcher drove in two runs in support of Miller and the BC pitcher went the distance as Brevard recorded their second South Atlantic Conference sweep in a row as the Tornados topped the Bulldogs, 4-1.
Miller put the BC offense in motion in the bottom of the second inning, driving a double down the left field line to lead off the frame. A base hit by Meredith Davenport advanced Miller to third, where she scored on Fletcher's one-out single up the middle. Brittany Jones brought in Davenport with a sacrifice fly to double the score, giving Brevard the 2-0 advantage after two innings.
The Tornados added a third run in the bottom of the third inning as Mallory and Clemens led off the frame with back-to-back doubles to push the BC lead to 3-0.
Brevard added a final run in the bottom of the sixth inning as Miller drove her second double of the game to the right field wall to lead off the inning. A sacrifice bunt pushed her over to third, where she scored on Fletcher's bouncing single through the left side of the infield to extend the lead to four.
Wingate battled back in the top of the seventh inning as Jordyn Setzer reached on a one-out double off the left field fence. After an infield popup, Joya Wortham singled to left field, advancing Setzer to third base. A walk issued to Brittany Owens loaded the bases, before Kasey Pendley drove in Setzer with an infield grounder with all base runners advancing to keep Wingate alive. However, Miller retired the final Bulldogs' batter on strikes to close out the contest and the sweep.
Brevard returns to non-conference play and takes to the road as the Tornados travel to Young Harris, Ga. for a doubleheader against Young Harris College on Tuesday, April 3rd. First pitch between the Tornados and the Mountain Lions is set for 2 p.m.

Gwyneth Paltrow dishes on Beyonce's new album!
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Even though Beyonce is keeping the details of her new album under wraps, her pal Gwyneth Paltrow is spilling the beans!
Gwyneth — who co-stars in the Iron Man flicks — chatted with Digital Spy and says "I've heard a lot, lot, lot of many songs. I don't know which ones have ended up on the album, but I've heard a lot as it's gone on."
The good news is that Bey is releasing an album — at some point. But Gwyneth explains what the holdup has been: "Yes, it's coming. She's almost done but she's got a lot on her plate."

Lawmakers propose Ohio Religious Freedom Restoration Act
(Columbus) - Ohioans would have protections to freely worship and exercise their religious liberties under a bill introduced Wednesday. It could mean that prayer and religious symbols, like a portrait of Jesus, could return to public schools.
State Representatives Tim Derickson (R-Oxford) and Bill Patmon (D-Cleveland) said their legislation, known as the Ohio Religious Freedom Restoration Act, would prevent any laws that substantially burden a person's free exercise of religion.
"For most Ohioans, faith and worship play a vital role in their lives and provide a sense of hope and community," said Derickson. "We are privileged as Americans to have a guaranteed right to free speech and free exercise of religion. It is important that religious and political leaders work together to defend religious liberties on behalf of our citizens of all faiths, and implementing a Religious Freedom Restoration Act in Ohio will help to accomplish this goal."
Patmon said that the United States was founded on Christian prinicples.
"This legislation will help reassert the foundation upon which this country was founded and has grown and prospered on-freedom of religion and the practice of it," said Rep. Patmon.
The law pretty much mirrors a federal law signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993. It restored the requirement of "strict scrutiny" application in religious freedom cases, which ensured that the government adequately justify burdens on religious exercise imposed by laws neutral toward religion and that if limited religious rights is indeed justified, the court must take the least restrictive means possible to limit those rights.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1997 that the federal law only covered federal statutes and not state law. The ruling encouraged states to implement their own laws and so far 18 other states already have.
The proposed law has received the support of the Ohio Catholic Conference, Agudath Israel of America, the Ohio Council of Churches, the Family Research Council, the Liberty Foundation, Citizens for Community Values, Citizen Link, and the Institute for Principled Policy.

I enjoy operating a multi-faceted office with my business partner, Alan Barley, AIA. But of all the building types, we find that homes provide the greatest challenges and by far the greatest rewards. Over the past few years, though, we have noticed a distinct and troubling shift in the way homes are perceived by the public. The erroneous presumptions behind this shift are having a profound and overarching effect on the quality of building in this country.
Our generation has become very adept at quantifying things. We "crunch the numbers" with great efficiency. But I believe we have too often lost sight of the bigger picture in doing so, ending up with undesirable results. The design of our homes, and the construction of them as well, is falling victim to this "efficiency."
When you buy a Ford Taurus, you know what level of quality you are purchasing and that the car is built to the latest D.O.T. safety and performance standards. You can opt for leather seats, but you know you are still buying a Ford, just with nicer seat coverings. Alternatively, when you buy a luxury sedan, such as an equivalently sized Mercedes E-class, you have a different set of expectations about the quality of what you are purchasing. Not only will there be finer-grade leather seats and other obvious accoutrements, but there is an expected increase in craftsmanship, performance, safety, durability, and overall quality "under the skin"—the things you can't see but know are built into the car. You might even be able to purchase the car from a competing dealer for a bit less money, confident you are still buying an equally well-built E-class with all the same features and craftsmanship.
This is where the problem comes in. People think they can treat buying a house like buying a car. They think that if they can buy a "high-end" house for a lower price, they're still getting the same house. What they don't understand is that if they keep looking for the lower bid, they're going to end up with lower quality.
the pricing myth We've mixed up the adjectives "quantity" and "quality" by relying too heavily on the all-too-ubiquitous "price-per-square-foot" yardstick for evaluating homes, especially the high-end custom ones. Oftentimes you end up getting four "spec-quality" homes combined to make one big one that may or may not comply with building safety and durability codes. Sure, you may have the trophy kitchen, the Palladian windows, the multiple crown moldings, and the profusion of meaningless steeply pitched roof angles that prepare you for shedding snow during the next big Central Texas blizzard. But all too often these "high-end" homes just end up becoming a series of disparate details, the sum of the parts and nothing more. What's more, these homes usually have "behind-the-scenes" components—like plumbing, air-conditioning systems, waterproofing methods, structural elements, windows, and siding—that are no better than those used in the starter homes being built across the tracks. They can be expected to last about as long as the starter homes before experiencing expensive maintenance problems or, worse, unhealthy conditions that might affect well-being, like water leaks and mold. Their building science is as lacking as their souls.
The price-per-square-foot yardstick is a relatively new phenomenon that started gaining popularity in the early 1980s. Before then, folks were more creative in their assessments. Attributes like floor plan, flow, responsiveness to the setting, craftsmanship, and even "livability" were used to make the decision to accept the design or buy the home. Per-square-foot pricing has its roots in the volume home building business, where there was little else to distinguish the various models. Most three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath homes had approximately the same sized two-car garage, an attention-grabbing front entry, and a modest back patio. Except for shape, rooflines, and interior appointments, there was not a lot of variation.
Not so with a truly custom, site-specific home designed and built for you and your family's values, on your particular piece of property, and incorporating unique views, topography, and trees. It's not unusual for a custom home designed for our Hill Country environment to have half again as much space in outdoor areas (screened porches, decks, cabanas, and patios) as in the interior living or "conditioned" area. These value-adding areas do greatly affect the overall price to build the home, but they don't add to the conditioned area. So, encourage your clients to look beyond the price-per-square-foot yardstick. It makes about as much sense as evaluating that new blouse or sport coat hanging in your closet on its price per square inch.

Darwinist Misrepresentations About The Human Genome Project
The Ape-Man Sımılarıty Is A Tale!
The completion of human's gene map today does not yield the result that man and ape are relatives. One need not be deceived by evolutionists' attempts to exploit this new scientific development just as they do with all others.
As known, the recent completion of the human gene map within the scope of the Human Genome Project has been a very important scientific improvement. However, some results of this project are being distorted in some evolutionist publications. It is claimed that the genes of chimpanzees have a similarity to human genes by 98 % and this is promoted as an evidence to the claim that apes are close to humans, and therefore, to the theory of evolution. In truth, this is a "fake" evidence put forward by evolutionists who benefit from the lack of knowledge of society about this subject.

Ratings for Dr. Michael K. Clark
Great office! Felt very comfortable from my first phone call to my post operative visit. Im happy my dentist referred me to Dr. Clark and if I need another implant, it is a no brainer. I'm going back.
Dr Clark removed my son's wisdom teeth. My son said Dr Clark barely said two words to him prior to surgery. Dr Clark did not meet with me before or after the surgery (I have been to two other oral surgeons who both did this). Three days after surgery, my son was in a lot of pain and still had bleeding. He called and left a message for the office to ask them about it and no one even returned his call. Very disappointed. Would NOT recommend.
I love Dr. Clark and his entire staff. I have had a few Oral Surgeons, and Dr. Clark has done excellent work , and has worked very well with my Dentist. I plan to be in this area forever, so I will be seeing Dr. Clark, forever!! I have several dental implants,and Dr. Clark has done several of them. Very happy with him and his staff.
Everyone at this office is beyond excellent! The staff is kind, courteous and understanding, and the doctor is absolutely the best. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
I am so happy I found Dr. Clark and his great staff, They could not have been more pleasent or helpful. He is excellent at what he does and I also took my son to him.And they told me to the penny what my portion of the bill would be. I cannot praise them enough.
Dr Clark is an amazing doctor and the staff was so nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. My son had the least amount of problems of my three children and healed the quickest and basically had no pain or swelling at all. My son had a awesome experience....thank you.
Staff worked hard to maximize our insurance coverage. Consultation was informative and very helpful; we knew exactly what was going on and the after care instructions were detailed and very helpful. Good experience!
Please be aware of billing practices. We were out of network with our dental insurance and ended up paying more than quoted on our estimated charges due to billing practice of this office. We were not told we were out of network. Long wait times both visits. Dr. Clark referred questions and answers about treatment and post op follow up to office staff. Very short consultation with dr clark.

FONTANA - San Bernardino County firefighters rescued a female hiker late Tuesday night who had fallen from a Jurupa Mountains hiking trail down a hillside, injuring herself.
Search-and-rescue teams hiked about a half-mile down steep terrain behind the Mary Vagle Nature Center at 11501 Cypress Ave. to her location, authorities said.
Once rescuers reached the woman, they treated her for her injuries and discovered they were serious enough that she couldn't walk out of the canyon on her own, fire officials said.
Rescuers brought special equipment they call "the wheel" to get her off the mountain safely.
"We use this device to assist firefighters in taking the victim in the stretcher down a steeper than normal grade," said county fire Capt. John Lansing.
"When it's night it's more difficult to traverse the terrain, so we use everything at our disposal to safely bring the injured victim to safety."
The injured hiker was taken to a hospital. Fire officials said she was in stable condition.
The woman's identity was withheld because of medical/privacy laws, authorities said.

WHEN: Friday, April 19, 2013. Doors open at 7 p.m. Presentation begins at 7:30 p.m.

TICKETS: $12 members/advance. $15 at the door. $8 students with ID. Tickets available at BriarPatch Co-op, Mother Truckers, and the Ridge Café
INFO: Call 265-2826, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit http://www.northcolumbiaschoolhouse.org
People have told stories since earliest times to entertain, inform and pass on cultural values. They have also used stories to persuade. In today's fast-paced world, corporations use stories to sell products and gain competitive advantages. Political parties use stories to elect candidates and garner support for controversial policies. Military leaders use stories to inspire courage and foster unit cohesion. Social activists, educators, environmentalists, economists, religious leaders and a host of others use stories to promote their views and agendas.
Friday, storyteller, writer and radio producer Joe McHugh will present a multi-media commentary on what he terms "the rise of the storytelling industrial complex." Entitled "Slaying the Gorgon," this fascinating and provocative multimedia presentation looks at how stories are told in the modern age given the dynamic and transforming influence of new technologies.
"From the venerated saints and cathedrals of the Middle Ages to the pop stars and cineplexes of today, images and sound are increasingly supplanting the authority of the printed word," said McHugh. "By so doing, they are radically altering the cultural, economic and political landscape in the United States and around the world."
McHugh frames his commentary with a series of provocative questions: "What does the myth of Perseus and Medusa tell us about how the technologies of storytelling shape the way we think and act? Why do political candidates need the blessing of media saints to get elected? Is society becoming more tribalized because of media? How does today's industrialized storytelling over-stimulate and exhaust the imagination and what can we do about it?" McHugh explores using a combination of plain language, intriguing images, recorded stories, and humor. His goal is to provide an opportunity for reflection and discussion about these vitally important issues of today.
This home-grown philosopher "has worked for over 30 years helping young people, organizations, and communities find and tell their stories." He has collected and published books of traditional folktales from the mountains of Appalachia, produced multicultural festivals, directed a museum, designed a literature camp for children, pioneered the use of radio dramas with young people and produced and hosted programs for public television and public radio.
"I am thrilled to be returning to the Sierra during spring to present this work," said McHugh. "I know that people in the Nevada County area — and at the North Columbia Schoolhouse in particular — are enthusiastic about the art of storytelling and will find this presentation provocative."
McHugh has presented at numerous national and regional conferences and has served as a project consultant for several state departments of education, the National Council of Family and Juvenile Court Judges, the National Legal Aid and Defenders Association, and other organizations. He is the author of Kilowatt, a modern-day fable about the energy industry and the nature of time, and is currently writing a trilogy examining the art and practice of storytelling in the modern world.
McHugh lives in Olympia, Wash., with his wife, Paula Blasius-McHugh, who is a painter, graphic designer, and musician. Audio stories from his archived public radio series The Telling Takes Us Home, a Celebration of American Family Stories can be heard at http://americanfamilystories.org.
Tickets for McHugh's presentation are $12 for members of the North Columbia Schoolhouse Cultural Center, or $15 at the door and $8 for students with ID. Tickets are available at BriarPatch Co-op, Mother Truckers and the Ridge Café.

Thats not what I am saying at all.
But my opinion is that if you are willing to give kit away or offer major discounts to people that read this forum then that will only help the sport grow.
If you are simply advertising your kit at full price and not willing to help out then thats a diiferent manner.
what has happened to Like 2 Fight is between him and the admin guys and we dont know why he has been removed.

Faculty: Grace Russo Bullaro
My academic interests, stated broadly, include cultural and intellectual movements such as Modernism, Postmodernism, Existentialist philosophy and gender studies. The content areas that I deal with most frequently include American culture, and Italian cinema (in the latter, especially the work of directors Roberto Benigni, Lina Wertmüller and "new" Italian cinema).
Like many people transplanted at an early age, I developed a compelling interest in the cultural component of identity formation. Much of my work has implicitly or explicitly addressed the question: How does our culture shape who we are, on an individual and collective level? Over the past decade my focus has been largely on socio-political and cultural issues in the context of identity politics and global cultural exchanges. The new millennium has been characterized by an unprecedented redefinition and erasure of boundaries. New geo-political realities have emerged, for example the Euro-zone has largely erased previous national boundaries and has made possible an unimpeded flow of people across entry and transit points. Figurative boundaries have also been redefined. Formerly rigorously defined institutions like marriage, the family and its structure, racial definitions, and cultural hegemony and subjugation have been the subject of intensive study. Indeed, the very nature of communication also needs to be rethought in the wake of Facebook and the revolutions, both social and political, that it has inspired. My belief is that in a world increasingly shaped by the global/local paradoxes, understanding one culture aids us in understanding global trends. My work aims to comprehend crucial issues such as racism, globalization, migratory flows and economic systems. I approach these critical issues not only through literature, but also through current mediums such as film, television and "new media". For the past 3 years I have had the privilege of collaborating with "Italian Studies at Oxford University", an international community of researchers who study migration and how it impacts on culture. As Head Researcher for the North American team investigating cinema, I've had the pleasure of organizing our New York conference and participating in others where scholars from as far away as Australia met to share the latest ideas and theories about the globalization process and how it shapes migratory flows.
Not surprisingly, the range of courses that I have taught over the years has been very broad. I've taught French and Italian at other institutions, and here at Lehman for the past twenty years I have enjoyed teaching narratives of the Western tradition such as The Odyssey and The Divine Comedy just as much as teaching about Surrealism, Existentialist Literature, Postmodernism, and a host of other subjects.
