Wells Sherman House Gets Foundation Permit
Court hearing scheduled on permanent injunction request
Efforts to relocate the historic Kent Wells Sherman House may be nearing an end.
The Kent Community Development Department recently issued a foundation permit that would allow the non-profit working to move the house, Kent Wells Sherman House, Inc., to build a foundation for the house on the lot owned by the group at 247 N. Water St.
And Portage County Common Pleas Judge John Enlow recently set a hearing date in the court battle over the relocation for March 1 on the permanent injunction request made by the Save the Standing Rock Garden, a group of residents who oppose moving the house to the greenspace on North Water Street.
The foundation permit issued Feb. 12 only addresses the foundation. Other building code requirements of the relocation, such as electrical and utility connections, have yet to be signed off on by city building officials.

you're right, SS - i'm especially curious how they accomplish replacing the hill at the rear of the lot with sky. please share your magic with us, FWSH!!

Close enough though. It can't look that different than this picture. Also photoshops and realities are always different. That's the problem with 2 dimensions vs. reality. This is more a projection of what the house will look like not an exact rendering. When the house is on that lot there will be another photo taken and that will be posted. You can criticize that if you want. Not this though

furthermore, where will the funds come from for the brick walkways, wrought iron fence, lamp posts and decorative clock? if it's good quality, that'll easily cost 30-40k for labor and materials. I think the F in FWSH stands for "fools".

sweetie the bricks and the wrought iron fence will come in time. Once the house is on the lot there will be about a years worth of renovations and I can assure you it will spruce up the neighborhood and nobody will miss that weed garden/party central

i can criticize it if i want, i walk by there everyday, and the perspective "imagined" for this photoshop is nowhere near the logistical dimensions of the lot. slam it in there if you will but you'll never get it to look like that.

It won't look like that photoshop it will look better. There are big plans in place. A house which was bigger than the Wells-Sherman House once stood on that lot and a house will stand there again

no really. you will see. The Wells-Sherman House will go on that lot. This isn't a dream it is very much a reality. Want proof? Just read the article you've been commenting on.

I wish the adjoining properties looked as nice as the rendering as well. Right now it's all an eyesore.

Thanks for the memories. One of my classmates, Jeannie Hendrickson, with whom I graduated from Roosevelt in 1954, lived in that house when we were in school.
Ben Neff had the barbershop next door to the north. I believe Dan's Shoe Repair shop was in the other side of that building at the time.

you know perfectly well that the house will not look like the photoshoped photo roger, and how about a little credit for jason prufer since you're using his photo to further your agenda?

After Neff's barber shop came Pandolfi's. There was also a bakery behind Dan's Shoe Repair. An exhaust fan filled Portage street with the perfume of baking bread as I walked down the hill to the three story bowling alley on North Water.

Are you aware you're taking out full size trees? I'm fully aware that the people so gung ho for this house do not utilize mother nature 365 days a year and have little regard for those of us who do. But after the horrorific destruction just down the street of the old sycamores to make way for the odd Fairchild Bridge, why do we have to remove more trees from downtown? Acorn Alley and all the new construction is also devoid of nature and getting away from our Tree City roots.

Trees are an important part of every community. Our streets, parks, playgrounds and backyards are lined with trees that create a peaceful, aesthetically pleasing environment. Trees increase our quality of life by bringing natural elements and wildlife habitats into urban settings. We gather under the cool shade they provide during outdoor activities with family and friends. Many neighborhoods are also the home of very old trees that serve as historic landmarks and a great source of town pride.
Noise from roadways and other urban activities is muffled by well-placed trees that serve as sound barriers. As a matter of fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states that trees can reduce bothersome noise by up to 50% and mask unwanted noises with pleasant, natural sounds. Using trees in cities to deflect the sunlight reduces the heat island effect caused by pavement and commercial buildings.

Well, Mars, I understand what you are saying, but Kent State has removed and will continue to remove, scores of beautiful, decades old trees, for their multi-million dollar esplanade and I heard no hue and cry. Not many people seem to care that they smashed to the ground a lot of solid early 20th century homes, either.
We call it progress...

downtown kent is an abolute DUMP, its about time they start caring about their history rather than putting up mom and pop shops that no college student can afford. This will be a nice addition to downtown, who cares about the standing rock garden. it was an eyesore anyway, thats what I always thought. Find a new place to have your garden, your in OHIO theres plenty of area to go around.

This house was built in 1858 by a descendent of the founder of Kent, not by the founder of Kent.
Historical significance is not inherited.
A 19th century doctor lived in the house.
Big deal.
This is the last 2-storey Greek Revival house in Kent.
So what. No one was willing to buy this house with their own money and move it.
Instead, a fanatical clan guilted KSU administrators into donating 40,000 of our tax dollars toward moving this ordinary-looking residential house.
Our tax dollars should be used for government agencies, not a newly-hatched one-trick-pony charitable agency chosen by obscure, unelected KSU administrators. A tax dollar is a precious thing at a time when teachers and policemen are being laid off.
Historically this is an insignificant house. There exists no good reason why we should donate towards its restoration instead of donating to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
It's not the Parthenon. It's just an ordinary-looking residential house. It takes an architect to recognize it is "Greek Revival". If this small fanatical clan spends $200,000 of other people's money, it will still look like a house common in northeast Ohio.
The house is not ugly due to dilapidation. It is ordinary because there's nothing outstanding about its looks that cause your average person to slow down and point out the car window and say "Look! It's a Greek Revival style house! Did you see that?"
When fanatics unite, watch your purse and watch your tax dollars.

I do hope Patch will consider a more appropriate photo of KWSH's rendering in the future and crops out the portions, such as foliage that has been added via PhotoShop on the building that SRCA and Vinyl Underground rent from Dick Rhoads. The misrepresentation of the building is not only laughable and offensive for the residents but can also be viewed as irresponsible reporting on Patch's part.
David Badagnani
11:41 pm on Saturday, March 2, 2013
This photo attached to this article doesn't make sense, as the appearance of the properties surrounding the antique house that is proposed to be moved to the green space do not accord with reality. Why is Patch promoting it?

Nats Links: Nats and Marlins tie at 2-2
The Washington Nationals are 0-1-1 in the Grapefruit League. No, that is not the Caps record. The Nats and Marlins settled at 2-2 after ten innings yesterday in their second Grapefruit League game. Nats manager Davey Johnson had to enjoy the two runs scored by the Nats. They came off a two run home run by the 6th overall pick in the 2011 MLB Draft, Anthony Rendon. No doubt the Nats will start Rendon out at Harrisburg (AA), but they will be keeping an extremely close eye on Rendon this season. Rendon is looking to shed an injury riddled first two years. More on Rendon's homer.
"I guess it was my bad luck, my three or four years," Rendon said last week. "That's how I'm going to view it right now. I'm just looking forward to what's ahead in my future." Rendon knows some people have attached an "injury prone" label on him. He disagrees, but he understands.
"I can't blame them," Rendon said. "If I were to see somebody, if I were in their perspective, seeing how many injuries they had, I might probably feel the same way. But obviously, I don't feel that way about myself. I couldn't help the way fields are. It's just a freak accident."
Speaking is injuries, the Nats will be watching Danny Espinosa closely this season. Espinosa has a torn rotator cuff, but opted to rehab rather than surgery. So far, Espinosa said the shoulder feels great. Additionally, Nats reliever/starter Chriostian Garcia will be shutdown for 10-14 days. Good news for Garcia is a forearm MRI revleaed only a strain. Garcia has been suffering from forearm tightness.

Nats reliever Drew Storen shrugs off his blown save yesterday.
Nats take on the Mets today at 6:15 for their second meeting with the Mets in three games. Gio Gonzalez takes the mound for his spring debut. Here is the expected lineup for this evening.
Nationals' lineup:
Eury Perez CF, Steve Lombardozzi 2B, Corey Brown RF, Tyler Moore DH, Chris Marrero 1B, Carlos Rivero LF, Matt Skole 3B, Chris Snyder C, Zach Walters SS
Gio Gonzalez P
The Nats packed the house at Viera yesterday for their spring training home opener. Although fans support the Nats are Viera, it is likely not an option past 2014. The Nats wish to move to the West Coast of Florida to cut down on travel times. Most spring training stadiums are on the west coast. Nats owner Mark Lerner did admit that it is unlikely the Nats will have a deal in place for next spring. Washington DC Mayor Vincent Gray was on hand in Viera yesterday to toss out the first pitch.
Here is another article on Micah Owings attempt to make a switch from pticher to first base. He is a non-roster invitee.
In Davey Johnson's final managing season, he may very well be the right guy, int he right place, at the right time.
More expectations from MLB.com. Nats shoudl just get ready for a growing bandwagon.
Five Nats players were on hand for Jimmy Johnson's Daytone 500 win. Here is Jayson Werth's appearance at Daytona 500.
Justin Miller and Kevin Keyes are testing out position changes.

MoDOT makes 'green' commitment to Route 141 reconstruction project
Though it may seem somewhat ironic for a process that, by its very nature, must tear down existing landmarks to construct new ones, the department makes significant efforts to minimize the impact its construction has on the environment.
An example of MoDOT's "green" commitment is the Route 141 reconstruction project in west St. Louis County. This project relocates a section of Route 141 slightly to the east of its current location and raises the roadway out of the floodplain. The eventual roadway will also reduce congestion along the route and will improve the roadway's safety.
"As we were evaluating and designing the Route 141 project, one of the biggest concerns the public presented to us was preserving the environment," said Karen Yeomans, MoDOT area engineer for west St. Louis County.
To reduce the number of trees removed for the project, for instance, the design team evaluated the entire area and established protection zones – the construction contractor would be penalized if they removed or damaged trees in those zones.
"Since, we are relocating Route 141 onto an area that was mainly forested wetlands, many people were concerned about our potential impacts – we evaluated all of them carefully during the planning and design process. We met all the federal and local requirements for wetland and forest preservation, but also wanted to make sure this project was a model for environmentally friendly construction for the region," she said.
Often, construction projects are entirely cleared between right of way lines – MoDOT wanted to only take the trees needed to safely build the roadway and keep it safe for drivers.
"We understand that it takes 40 years to replace a 40-year-old tree, and we wanted to save every one that we could. We also made sure, though, that we wouldn't have trees too close to the road that could fall and endanger drivers," said Yeomans.
The construction contractor also incorporated an idling policy – that no construction vehicles could be idling for extended periods of time, reducing the fuel used on the project and the pollutants from those vehicles.

Flashback Fridays
Two weeks ago, we covered the art of sonando, and how the sonero is a dying breed within the Salsa community. There have been many soneros since way before it's golden age in between the late 50s and late 70s, but only a few stand out, having been given legendary status. Only one has been given the title of Sonero Mayor, the premiere improviser for his talented ability of improvising lyrics and rhythm on the spot.
Ismael Rivera, or Maelo, as he was affectionately known, began his music career as the lead singer of a band led by Rafael Cortijo, Maelo's best friend since childhood. This partnership, combined with the band they formed would play at small venues earning a respectable following. Afterwards, Ismael would venture on to sing lead for other bands led by the likes of Lito Peña and Machito but eventually would rejoin with Rafael Cortijo and his band. A partnership that gave birth to the world renowned "Cortijo y Su Combo".
Maelo and Cortijo y su Combo gained enough popularity to enjoy touring the world singing at venues as far away as Europe. The band itself became a starting point for the careers of many legendary salseros like Roberto Roena (Apollo sound) and Rafael Ithier (founder of El Gran Combo).
With fame comes temptation, and for Maelo, that temptation was the drug trade. Allegedly, he and his bandmates would conceal drugs on themselves and smuggle them into Puerto Rico. His last attempt occurred after a trip from Panamá, in which he was caught upon arrival into PR. Maelo took the fall for his bandmates and went on to serve seven years in prison. Upon release, Maelo found himself as a free agent. Free to decide what he wanted to do with his career. He decided to form his own band. Ismael Rivera y los Cachimbos.
Ismael and his new band went on to perform together for eight years before again returning to his roots with Cortijo. He, Cortijo, and their band would go on to produce many hits that remain popular to this day, from El Nazareno, Juntos otra vez, volare, and today's feature for Flashback Fridays "Las Caras Lindas".
One of my personal favorites. Even though it wasn't written by the singer, his pride in his afro-Latino culture resonates throughout the song while raising awareness about the beauty of afro-Latinos and how it should be something to be proud of as opposed to being something that is rejected. I hope you enjoy this song, it's message, as well as appreciate the talent that earned Puerto Rico's favorite son the title of El Sonero Mayor.

We finally met with the new doctor and got all the tests done. Everything was as expected on both of our parts. All of my hormones were in check but my insulin was high. The Mister's numbers were better than I expected and provide plenty of room for success.
And, during the sonohystogram I was told that my right tube was not blocked like previously thought. Go figure.
So we had our "Game Plan" appointment on Wednesday with the doctor and we're going ahead with IVF in April. Unlike RE1, RE2's clinic has scheduled IVF times. This means that they work with your cycle, but they also try to fit more people into doing IVF at one time instead of all spread apart. At first glance this doesn't make much sense for the patient, but on the other hand in a small clinic with one doctor it makes a ton of sense. It also allows the clinic to be less schizophrenic in terms of functioning at any given point in time.
We made our nurse consultation/orientation appointment for the 19th. But I knew I'd get my period before then. Sure enough, it showed up late last night/today. I'm going in on Monday for a baseline ultrasound and blood work.
And then the fun begins.
I'm excited to be getting to this point again. I feel that breeze of spring in the air and the possibility of life changing days ahead.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on October 7, 2011 released the following:
"Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, John V. Gilles, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Miami Field Office, Frank Adderley, Chief, Fort Lauderdale Police Department, announced today the filing of an information charging defendants Scott Faraguna, 41, Charles Blomquist, 52, Peter Borkowicz, 31, Raymond Harcar, 39, James Taylor, 23, Ryan Greene, 23, Jason Hampton, 28, Chris Faccone, 43, Steven Sokoloff, 47, Marco Sguera, 30, Joseph Giancola, 38, Ryan Soltow, 27, and Donna Ackermann Brown, 50, in a one-count Criminal Information with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371.
The defendants are scheduled to make their initial appearances in court Tuesday morning October 11, 2011, in West Palm Beach before U.S. Magistrate Judge Linnea Johnson.
According to the Information, the defendants worked for Timeshare Mega Media and Marketing Group, Inc. (TMMMG), on Oakland Park Boulevard, in Fort Lauderdale. From in or about October 2009 and continuing to May 2010, the defendants and others at TMMMG called owners of time-share units and told them that they had buyers for their time-share units if the time-share unit owners would send $1,996 to TMMMG for the fees associated with the sale of the unit, such as closings costs and a title search. In fact, however, the defendants knew that they did not have buyers for the time-share units, and nor were the units previously sold.
The Information alleges that after the time-share unit owners agreed to pay the fee associated with the sale of their units, the time-share unit owners would be called by another employee from TMMMG who acted as a "verifier." The "verifier" would try to get the time-share unit owners to admit on tape that they knew that the fee they were paying was for the advertising of their time-share units and that TMMMG could charge their credit card. Some of the defendants would pay the "verifier" $50-$100 per sale in order to either not call the time-share unit owners or to process the transaction with the credit card company, even though the victim did not want to go through with the transaction.
According to the Information, in order to make it more difficult for the time-share unit owners to obtain a refund of their money, the defendants were instructed by coconspirators not to give the time-share unit owners closing dates for the sale of their time-shares, or if they insisted, to give closing dates more than 60 days after the receipt of their money. When time-share unit owners would call TMMMG inquiring about the sale of their time shares, coconspirators would try to "lull" the victims by falsely stating to the time-share unit owners that the original buyer had a credit problem and was not approved, but that TMMMG had another buyer and that the sale would take place in the near future, in order to keep the victims from complaining to the credit card companies or the authorities.
If convicted the defendants each face a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of five years and a fine of up to $250,000.
Mr. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of the FBI and the Fort Lauderdale Police Department in connection with the investigation of this matter. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey N. Kaplan.
An Information is only an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt."

BEAVER COUNTY, Pa. -- Seven families are fighting to stop a natural gas company's last-minute drilling plans on their land before the company's lease expires next month.
The McRoberts family woke up Tuesday morning to find tree-cutters lined up along their property in Darlington, Beaver County, getting ready to clear a quarter-mile path to a proposed gas well site.
"Four generations of McRoberts have farmed this land, and we pay the taxes and they're going to tell us what they're going to do? And they lied from the beginning," said property owner Susan McRoberts.
When Channel 4 Action News' Jim Parsons went to the McRoberts' property, the tree-cutters left without cutting any branches.
"Chesapeake (Energy) doesn't even have a permit to drill this well, and yet they want to come in here and cut these folks' trees down without any compensation," said McRoberts family attorney Steve Townsend.
Townsend filed a lawsuit Tuesday against O & G Investment of Ohio, which signed gas leases with the McRoberts and six other families in 2005.
O & G sold those leases last year to Chesapeake Energy, which is also named in the suit.
The suit accuses O & G of "intentionally and fraudulently misrepresenting to the plaintiffs that (it) would reasonably develop the mineral resources underlying their land."
"They promised these people the world and didn't pay a dime, and took their land and held it hostage for years," said Townsend.
With the leases set to expire next month, the McRoberts are trying to stop Chesapeake from conducting a last-minute drilling operation.
"It's too late, too late. Listen Jim, I couldn't rent a car for $200 a month and not pay for it. They've had thousands of acres of land here that they've not paid one cent for and they've held it seven to 10 years and haven't paid anybody any money," said Townsend.
Chesapeake Energy has not commented.

Pete old boy...you do a major disservice to yourself and other landowners by talking smack that you have absolutely no perspective on... or should I say you have a very warped perspective. I defy you to point out ONE single press release or annual report wherein an oil and gas company brags about duping idiot landowners...yah, that's going to play real well in the media.
CHK...personally I don't like them, but if you want to take part in the supposed billions that they line their pockets with...go buy some of their stock.
Sure, publicly traded stocks provide prospectus's... Enron had one, WorldCom had one, Tyco, Adelphia... so what?? Wow... an oil and gas company spends $10Million for a seismic survey, and they should just hand the results over to your for FREE??? Go commission your own seismic survey, it's your God given right. And even if you do have seismic in your possession, its not the end all/be all to determining whether or not your property is worth squat and whether it will produce gas. We had seismic covering Columbia County PA... sure, it pointed to evidence that the area was underlain with Marcellus Shale. The problem was that it doesn't have any recoverable gas in it... at least not enough to be commercially viable. Waaah... can we please have our $34Million in bonus money back???
Go whine about something that is actually factual, something you do have knowledge about... because you sure don't possess any knowledge about the oil and gas business.
I agree with you Mike. I know of a local family who signed for $25/acre then decided to sue the gas co. when neighbors were getting $1500/acre (and the signing bonus climbed even higher). They got nowhere. They signed a legal document agreeing to the terms and were held to it.
What you sign to and agree to is a done deal.
Why in the hell would anyone sign a 7 or 10 year lease for no compensation?
Why would they sign anything without insisting on a copy to take with them?
Why would they not consult with a good oil and gas attorney before signing ANY lease?
You have to lay a lot of blame on the landowners who signed these leases. I have seen no reference to a gun being put to any of their heads to get them to sign.
You are right. They signed the deal and now they don't like it. The deal said that they had x number of years to develop or drill presumptively. So now they realize they made a bad deal and want out. A contract is a contract.
Frank, I assume you mean that they did not get any bonus money. Are they part of a unit? Will they be getting royalties?
The latest (in Post Gazette 20 minutes ago).
I have a problem with both CHK and the landowners on this -- no one is taking responsibility for their actions.
"A Chesapeake representative responded that the company "is continuing with construction of the project" because it believes that its application for a conditional use entitles it to drill, even if the application was not granted."
This is classic CHK do what I want and worry about any ramifications later. CHK is bulldozing their way through as usual. Not to mention the news today about the CEO having his hand in the cookie jar without disclosure.
and the comment by the Roberts family that they "were trickd by land men into signing it without fully reviewing it" reads like hog wash to me. Even though this was pre-Marcellus Shale -- you read any contract before signing. And if you don't understand it, find someone who does.
Frank, I beleive you will be wrong on the statement that they received nothing, not one penny. I signed at the same time, as well as lots of others here, and we did receive compensation, just not very much. Everyone I know did get a copy of the whole lease. I don't know where your information is coming from, but I believe it to be wrong.
Of course no one knew what laid underneath us then either, so the leases weren't really worth much at the time.
If it wasn't for us early cheap signers, to get the two 'wildcat' wells drilled, we would be at least 5 years or more behind finding what is under us. So it was these cheap leases that started the ball rolling in Beaver County.
I know I'm not wrong. I know the families well. You can look their numbers up and all them if you like.
Are you talking about the lawsuit where there was a phrase that allowed them the lessors to seek a better offer allowing CHK to match it or lose that lease? CHK refused to match the lease offer by another competitor.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |

Improving The Health Of America
Q. Dear Terry, "I am 59 years old and just had cataract surgery a little over 2 weeks ago. I read that lutein is a good vitamin to take for eye health and I was wondering if there is something better that I should be taking. I take 2 tablespoons of flax oil every day. Would that help at all? Thank you." — Darla S., Green Bay, WI
A. Dear Darla, Cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss in people over age 40 – affecting more than 22 million Americans. Cataracts refer to the clouding of the natural lens of the eye, which lies behind the iris and the pupil. For people who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy lenses is similar to looking through a frosty window on a cold winter morning. Most cataracts develop slowly and generally occur due to aging that causes the tissues of the lens to break down and to clump together, clouding small areas of the lens. As the cataract continues to develop, the clouding becomes denser and involves a greater part of the lens. Instead of the lens focusing the light to produce a clear, sharp image on the retina, the cataract causes the light to scatter. As a result, vision becomes blurred – making it more difficult to read, drive a car (especially at night), or see the expression on a loved one's face. While studies have shown that lutein can benefit eye health, I think astaxanthin is more effective. I recommend a formula that contains a natural astaxanthin complex with at least 5% astaxanthin, along with other carotenoids like lutein, canthaxanthin and beta carotene, combined with the very potent antioxidant, black currant extract, standardized to more than 25% anthocyanins. This formula is useful for anyone wishing to preserve eye health. You may also want to consider adding curcumin and omega-3 fatty acids to further support your vision, as well as enhance your overall health. While omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, are important to the health of the eyes, not all omega-3 sources contain these fatty acids in a readily available form. For example, your body needs to convert the fatty acids from flaxseed into EPA and DHA in the body. I would recommend you try an omega fatty acid product extracted from salmon. This form of omega-3 fatty acid is not a fish oil, but rather a whole food salmon omega-3 EPA/DHA extract, naturally bound to salmon phospholipids. It's a convenient form – one to two tablets daily – and extremely bioavailable – about 50 times more absorbable than fish oil! Curcumin, a compound found in the spice turmeric, is a potent antioxidant and powerful anti-inflammatory that works, via multiple pathways, to benefit overall health. While curcumin is so beneficial, it is poorly absorbed by the body. Therefore, it is crucial to make sure the curcumin you choose has up to 10 times the absorption of plain curcumin, or you may not get enough of this powerful herb into your blood stream to make a difference. Avoid curcumin products using black pepper extract, also called piperine, to enhance absorption as this substance is not only hard on the liver, it interacts with the majority of prescription medications on the market. I prefer micronized curcumin blended with oil of turmeric for the best absorption and optimal health outcomes.
Healthy regards!
Terry . . . Naturally

Fifth National Award Book
Nagbhai knew the practice of spraying a local fruit extract in the field to control the leaf curl, insect pest and to enhance the flowering. This knowledge was traditionally handed by his grandfather to his father and then to him. Nagbhai could gather this knowledge as he got involved in farming early in his life.
He used the same formulation and did not change the ingredients of the formulation. But he experimented on standardizing the dose that could be most useful in his 1.6 hectare. This formulation also helps the crops to fight leaf curl and enhances flowering in them.

Pangus was inspired to create it during a particularly tedious Biology class and modelled the letter shapes on the Thai alphabet. The name means "Dragon Language" and is written 龙文 in Chinese characters. Pangus chose this name because the shapes of the letters remind him of dragons and he was born in the year of the dragon.

Works great (if you get one that works)

About Me Quality Oriented
Comments about Swingline� Commercial Smooth Grip Stapler:
This stapler:- Staples 20 sheets w/ease- Works consistently- Is very easy to use (takes very little pressure to staple- Staples securely- Has a rubbery coating that feels good in the hand and prevents slippage when stapling....when you get one that works.Our office has had one of these staplers for over 6 months now, and recently we had to order a second one for another desk. The order arrived on time, but the first stapler had 2 major defects (the kind that make you wonder if they even picked it up when it was passing through Swingline Quality Control):1) It wouldn't stay closed. After inserting staples, the spring hinge was so loose that the darn thing wouldn't stay closed. If you picked it up by the top, the whole unit would fall open.2) The staples came out really loose. When stapling 2-3 sheets together, the stapler wouldn't depress all the way, and so the sharp ends of the staples would be left hovering over the back side of the paper instead of pressed securely into it. It's like the stapler thought we were trying to staple 10 sheets together instead of just 2.So, we sent it back. Ordered (the same exact) one and it works like a charm.Long story short, (if & when you get one that works) it's a great, functional stapler for any office space.

Cute stapler, but difficult to use...staples don't sit in correctly...
Not the greatest stapler
By Assistant
from Carlsbad, CA
The stapler works but you have to leave it flat on the desk top. If you try to hold it and staple your papers it jams every time.
Great Stapler!

"Does job but nothing above or below."
By Beth with the Roller-Skates on
from Alabama
Bought to use for office, but does not work well when you only have a few pieces of paper. The staple is very loose. Had to keep my old stapler for the office & use this one just for hanging fliers.

Desert Buffet
At the time it's super funny to sing Walk Like an Egyptian and pose with your arms out. But when you get home you'll realise those photos are lamer than the fact that Cleopatra had to marry both her brothers.
(Was Backroads of Egypt)
Day 1-2 - Cairo - Pyramids - Sphinx
You want history? You got it. Pyramids of Giza. Valley Temple of King Khafre. Half-man half-lion (aka the Sphinx). King Tut's mask. You'll sleep well tonight.
Day 1
- Arrive in Cairo, or as the locals call it: "the Mother of the World", and get acquainted with the city
Day 2
- Take a trip to the celebrated Egyptian Museum
- See the golden mask of King Tutankhamun and numerous other treasures
- Drive out to the edge of the desert to explore the pyramids and the nearby Sphinx
- Visit the beautiful Valley Temple of King Khafre (Chephren)
- Embark on a night train bound for Aswan
BreakfastDay 3 - White Desert
Feta, fried chicken and baba ghanoush are just the beginning of your desert feast. Take a walk at sunset followed by some star gazing (if you spot the Southern Cross, you're doing it wrong).
- Jump into a jeep and set off into the Western Desert
- Stop for a picnic lunch at the oasis of Farafra
- If it's hot enough, perhaps take a swim in a natural spring
- Enjoy a sunset walk in this surreal landscape
- Spend the night camping under the desert stars
Breakfast | Lunch | DinnerDay 4-5 - Dakhla
Ever wanted to ride a camel into the desert and dance around a campfire to Arabic pop music with a belly full of fried chicken? Now's your chance.
Day 4
- Visit the medieval mud-brick town of Al Qasr
- Explore Al Qasr's timeless streets and view the old school, an ancient olive press and the granary
- Stop by the little Ethnographic Museum
- Camp overnight at a rustic camp in reed huts
- Indulge in a traditional meal and enjoy a night of music and dancing around the campfire
Day 5
- Head out in jeeps to explore the nearby dunes
- Take a rest stop at some hot springs
- Spend an afternoon relaxing while you wait for the heat of the day to pass
- Set off through the desolate, windswept landscape on camels in the late afternoon
- Spend the night under the stars at the great escarpment
- Sleep in a communal tent with Bedouin friends, or outside on mats
Breakfast | Lunch | DinnerDay 6 - Al Kharga - Baris
Not the most fascinating place you'll see on this trip, but it is the place where we say goodbye to our Bedouin pals. Sob.
- Perhaps visit the Christian burial ground at Al Bagawat
- Drive on to Baris Oasis for a final night of fun and friendship with our Bedouin companions
Breakfast | Lunch | DinnerDay 7-8 - Luxor
Ride a donkey into the Valley of the Kings at sunset; chances are his great-great-great-great-grand-donkey helped carry the stone blocks to the pyramids.
Day 7
- Arrive in Luxor and perhaps browse the extensive bazaar (great for shopaholics)
- Optional visit to Karnak Temple – one of Egypt's greatest temple complexes.
Day 8
- Set off on a sunrise donkey ride to the Valley of the Kings
- Explore the Valley of the Kings and enjoy view from the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
- Return to the east bank and spend free time exploring the town further
- Why not head to the bazaar or relax in a coffee shop
BreakfastDay 9 - Aswan
Everyone here runs on Africa time, so you might as well throw out your watch. The Nubian bazaar is the place for all your beaded jewellery (and if you took the watch thing seriously, you can get a shiny new Rollecks for about six bucks).
- Explore Aswan's Nubian bazaar that snakes through the back streets of time
- Set off on an optional sailboat ride around the islands
- Spend free time relaxing on the riverfront watching felucca sailboats
BreakfastDay 10-12 - Abu Simbel - Felucca Cruise
Everything after Abu Simbel will be an anti-climax. It's that good. We spend a couple of days cruising down the Nile to help you wrap your head around it.
Day 10
- Travel to Abu Simbel, one of the most impressive temples ever built
- Take a tour of the site, one of the highlights of Egypt, and later return to Aswan
- Board a Nile Cruise boat and spend time sleeping, relaxing, reading or enjoying the sundeck
Days 11-12
- Visit the Temple of Sobek, a classically-ruined Greco-Roman temple
- Enjoy a slower pace of life whilst floating down the Nile
Breakfast | Lunch | DinnerDay 13 - Luxor
Karnak Temple is like history on steroids. Everything is dramatic, exaggerated and completely OTT. It's the biggest religious site ever built and stretches over 2km, so you might want something a little sturdier than thongs.
- Continue cruising towards Edfu, and take in some timeless scenes of life on the Nile
- Stop at Edfu to explore the well-preserved Temple of Horus
- Set off on a bus ride to Luxor
- Take a final tour of Luxor's bazaar
- Board a night train bound for Cairo
Breakfast | DinnerDay 14-15 - Cairo
Hit Khan al-Khalili bazaar and show those stallholders who's boss. Perfume, jewellery, clothes and the obligatory belly dancing costume are all waiting to be haggled over.
Day 14
- Enjoy free time after arriving back in Cairo and perhaps indulge in a final group dinner
Day 15
- The trip ends today after breakfast
Breakfast -

Lone Star Software Symposium: Austin
Jun 29 - Jul 1, 2007 - Austin, TX
View the event details here ».
Web Publishing 2.0
If we're moving toward Web 2.0, what does that mean for online publishing? In this talk I'll answer that question. Based on my experience as Principal Technologist at Mark Logic working with dozens of the largest online publishers, I'll present a vision for how the Web 2.0 concepts like personalization, collective intelligence, the long tail, and the importance of "owning the data" can and should reshape the face of online publishing -- and how XML, XQuery, and XML-aware text search act as the key enablers. I'll also introduce new Web Publishing 2.0 concepts like "Sweat the content" and "Give answers not links".

Wreaths Across America Coming to St. Boniface
By: Bill Palmer
Updated: December 3, 2012
Erie, Pa - Wreaths Across America event to honor veterans is coming to St. Boniface, 9367 Wattsburg Road, Erie, Pa. on December 15, 2012.
The Knights of Columbus, St. Boniface - Erie has volunteered to conduct the WAA ceremony this year at the Mount of Olives Cemetery on Saturday December 15, stating at 12:00 Noon EST.
Seven ceremonial wreaths will be placed to remember those who served, honor their sacrifices, and teach our younger generations about the high cost of our freedoms.
Specially designated wreaths for the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, and POW/MIA will be placed on memorials during a ceremony that will be coordinated simultaneously at over 400 participating locations all across the Country.
The Saturday in December will mark the 21st anniversary of Maine wreaths being donated to be placed on headstones at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, VA. 2009 is also the Seventh year of the national wreath sponsorship campaign under the guidance of the non-profit WreathsAcrossAmerica.org that will bring the same remembrance wreaths to National and State Veterans cemeteries, monuments, and community centers all across the Nation.
In addition to these ceremonial wreaths, a number of civic groups around the Country have joined with Wreaths Across America to promote sponsored wreaths to be placed on veterans' graves in designated sections of participating cemeteries. Each year the sections are rotated to eventually include all veterans.
In 2012, it is projected more than 160,000 volunteers will take part of the Wreaths Across America mission to Remember; Honor; and Teach. In 2008 and 2009 The United States Congress unanimously decreed that a Saturday of December as National Wreaths Across America Day.
If you would like to sponsor a wreath, or would like more information about events planned for your community, please call (John Altman) at 814-796-3764 for more information.

Rate This Recipe"Hi - I'm the recipe submitter. I just noticed that a reviewer says you should squeeze out the moisture from the potatoes and onions. While most potatoes kugels include this step, one of this recipe's ..." See moresecrets is that you keep the moisture in - it makes for an exceptionally moist kugel. So leave it all in, even it the mixture looks watery. "
"It can't get much easier than this, and delicious too! Shredded onions, then potatoes in processor with fine shredder. Changed to the blade, added everything else, a few pulses and WAH-LAH it was done..." See more. I did however bake it in an oiled 9x13 that was heated first, before putting the mixture in a 400 deg. oven for 1 hour. Tasted it as soon as it came out of the oven & it was TDF, with a very crispy brown top and a creamy inside. Had to go to another room before I would eat it all. Thanks so much for sharing."
"This is great! I made this for Passover and substituted some celery root so it was about 50/50 with the potatoes. It helps cut down the glycemic index and also adds vitamin K, not to mention some grea..." See moret flavor. Other than that, I followed the recipe to a tee and it was a hit!"

London has always attracted all nationalities due to the richness of its culture, the diversity of its society and its vibrant economy. The tolerance of the people living here has helped the city become a melting pot of ethnic groups: currently over 300 different languages are spoken in London. Be aware of the cultures around you and respect their ways.
Euros and US dollars are not accepted in the UK. Most outlets accept all major credit and charge cards.
It is customary to tip in London. On average, consider adding between 10 per cent and 15 per cent to your bill. Many London restaurants automatically add a discretionary service charge.
Queuing is still a strong British habit. Therefore, when paying at shops or purchasing tickets at a venue, always look out for the queue and join it if you don't want to cause offence. Ask the Concierge for advance tickets for tourist attractions and you'll avoid the queues altogether.
The UK weather changes from day to day. Wear layers so that you can remove or add according to temperature. Autumn and Winter are generally mild but wet, averaging a temperature of 8-10 degrees Celsius. Spring and Summer average 20-25 degrees Celsius but can still be very wet.
Black taxis
Taxi drivers in London are required to pass a training test called 'The Knowledge', involving memorising the location of over 25,000 streets. Preparation for the test takes two to four years, making London's taxi drivers the most knowledgeable and safest in the world. You can hail a passing black cab if it has its taxi light switched on.
Houses of Parliament
While repairs on the roof at Westminster Hall in 1914 were being carried out, tennis balls were found in the rafters believed to date back to Henry VIII. In 1761, 3,000 candles were lit during the dinner celebrating the investiture of George III and Queen Charlotte.
London Underground
The first underground system in the world now boasts 12 lines divided into 'Zones', Zone 1 being the most central and Zone 6 being the outermost ring (including Heathrow Airport). For use of both Underground and bus networks, purchase a daily Travelcard, sold at all Underground stations. When using the underground escalators, always stand on the right to allow people to pass.
London's Theatreland
There are 147 theatres in London, on average showcasing 76 plays, musicals and 19 operas daily. Many theatres offer tours which are extremely fascinating as most of them were built during the Victorian period. The concierge team will be delighted to assist you with recommendations and reservations.
Wellington Arch
Wellington Arch is the large arch located in the middle of Hyde Park Corner which can be seen from many of the hotel rooms. It was built in 1828 as a memorial to Sir Arthur Wellsey, the 1st Duke of Wellington. The immense bronze statue crowning the arch is the largest in the UK. Until 1992 the arch housed the second smallest police station, now a small museum.
There is so much to see - so don't forget your camera.
Loose, comfortable clothing
The weather can be changeable. Wear layers so that you can remove or add when necessary.
Pounds Sterling
We recommend you exchange some money - enough to cover airport incidentals and transportation to the hotel - before you leave home, so you can avoid queues at the airport ATMs.
Whatever the weather take an umbrella with you. With the English climate you never know when it could rain.
Walking/comfortable shoes
In London you really can walk everywhere - it's the best way to get around and learn about the city.

Journeying with the Amistad
Multiple Dimensions of Slavery and Freedom
The Caribbean region can be understood as a fascinating natural laboratory of cultural and ethnic diversity. This January, students have the opportunity to conduct research through a specially-designed three-week winter course comprising an integrated set of courses dedicated to the study of the historical, socio-political, and economic structures and processes that have shaped the Caribbean into the culturally complex region it is today.
About the Program
This dynamic program is a collaboration between the Departments of Africana Studies, Anthropology. and Sociology, the College of Advancing and Professional Studies, the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey, and the Amistad project. The program offers students an interdisciplinary approach integrating sociological, anthropological, and historical perspectives to the study of Caribbean society and culture.
Students will be introduced to key social-scientific concepts such as race, ethnicity, slavery, nation, culture, and their relevance (or irrelevance) in the attempt to understand Caribbean cultures and identities. Students will learn about the contributions of different ethnic groups to modern Caribbean culture, and examine the processes by which these various contributions were blended and transformed through cultural interactions, taking into account the power relations between groups throughout different historical periods.
Students will also be introduced to the major issues regarding U.S. involvement in the Caribbean. The intent will be to consider the variety of traditions making up Caribbean identity, in particular Afro-Caribbean identities, but also identities based on Hispanic, English, French, Dutch, East Indian, Native Indian, and mestizo heritage, among others, as well as identity issues in countries and regions on the Atlantic coast of Central and South America.
This program will draw heavily on the study of material culture and cultural productions (archaeological sites, architecture, literature, plastic arts) interpreted as "texts" that speak about the political, economic, and social conditions in which they were produced, and which ultimately point to the debates that play a key role in the construction of contemporary identities in the region. Social science methodology will be strongly emphasized with a view to helping students develop research projects.
In addition to classroom study and lectures by guest speakers, students will participate in such course-related activities as field trips to major cities, museums, and historical and archeological sites.
Program Agenda
With the Amistad ship arriving in San Juan, Puerto Rico while UMass Boston students are there, the program will have an additional focus on slavery and its legacy in the Caribbean region. Students and faculty will have access to the ship, with field trips and lectures held on board.
Following students' on-island and on-ship studies in Puerto Rico, students will travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands and to the Dominican Republic for additional research and coursework.
Students will be housed in a ship provided by the Amistad project and will be able to access libraries, museums, computer labs, and recreational facilities.
Dates | Location |
Jan 2-9 | Puerto Rico: San Juan, Ponce, Loiza, Vieques |
Jan 10-15 | U.S. Virgin Islands: St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John |
Jan 16-22 | Dominican Republic |
Academic Credit
Upon successful completion, students will earn a total of 6 undergraduate credits (graduate students can make special arrangements with the organizers to earn graduate credits) in two UMass Boston courses:
- The first course can be either AFRSTY 225: The Origins of the Caribbean Civilization (3 credits) or ANTH 274: Peoples and Cultures of the Caribbean (3 credits)
- The second course is an Independent Study that can be conducted with the Africana Studies Department (AFRSTY 479 Independent Study) or the Sociology Department (SOCIOL 478 Directed Study) or the Anthropology Department (ANTH 479 Directed Study). This course is for 3 credits.
The winter program will be jointly directed and taught by Professors Jorge Capetillo-Ponce, Tony Van Der Meer, and Lorna Rivera from UMass Boston and Professor Luis Galanes from University of Puerto Rico at Cayey.
Jorge Capetillo-Ponce
As co-director of the Caribbean Studies Summer Institute, Professor Capetillo-Ponce has been developing and leading academic programs to the Caribbean for close to 10 years. He is an associate professor in the Sociology Department, and director of Latino Studies.
Tony Van Der Meer
Senior lecturer in the Africana Studies Department. Professor Van Der Meer is the former Chairman of the Black Political Task Force of Boston. Professor Van Der Meer's area of research is focused on African diaspora religion and culture and its image in the mass media.
Lorna Rivera
Associate Professor of Women's Studies and Latino Studies, and Director of the Latino Leadership Opportunity Program at the Mauricio Gastón Institute for Latino Public Policy, an applied research training program that focuses on social issues affecting Latino communities. Professor Rivera's expertise is in feminist theory, gender, and slavery in the Caribbean, and gender and literacy in the US.
Luis Galanes
Professor of Anthropology at the University of Puerto Rico in Cayey. Professor Galanes co-directs the Caribbean Studies Summer Institute with Professor Capetillo-Ponce. In this collaborative summer program, he leads a cohort of University of Puerto Rico students to study alongside UMass Boston students and others from the continental United States.
Please be advised that international programs are subject to change, slight or major, at any time due to circumstances beyond our control; this includes any and all fees, dates, itinerary, and program activities. We will do our best to inform all applicants of any changes in as timely a manner as possible.

Want to set your local edition?
Select your location for more focused local news coverage when you visit NOLA.com.
Don't worry. You can change this setting at any time to another local edition.
GONZALES - East Ascension High School junior running back Sione Palelei is an electric playmaker. The 5-foot-8, 185-pound standout is a threat to break the big play every time he touches the ball.
The soft-spoken star is one of the more exciting prep stars around and colleges programs have taken notice, with a couple of them already extending offers. There are sure to be more in the future as well.
Palelei, No. 19 on the NOLA.com 2014 prospect list, figures to be a hot commodity as he moves into his senior season.
"Utah was my first offer and it came during the summer," he said. "My uncle is an assistant coach up there and he called my dad to extend an offer. He handed me the phone and my uncle told me. I was shocked at first. It was one of my big dreams to just get my first offer. It was something I always wanted to achieve.
"After that offer came I got one from Brigham Young University."
With family ties at Utah it would be understandable to see the Utes as a frontrunner to land Palelei. But there's another school, much closer, that's also in his sights.
"During the first LSU camp the running back coach, Frank Wilson, told me I could be a big-time player. That is when I first knew I could play at a big time level," Palelei said. "Once I got my first offer, it became a really big deal for me."
Palelei is interested in BYU and Utah, but he doesn't shy from his feelings for LSU.
"LSU is the school I follow the most," he said. "The hometown connection being the biggest reason for liking them, because I wouldn't mind staying close to home. The other schools that come to mind are Ohio State and Florida because of how they use their running backs. I have been getting some mail from LSU, too."
While he is excited about the growing amount of exposure he has been receiving, Palelei stays grounded and knows he wants to get bigger as he prepares for football on the next level.
"I want to get a lot bigger. Two hundred pounds is where I would like to be by next year," he said. "I did a lot of camps this past summer. I won MVP at some National Underclassman Combines. The one in Atlanta, a lot of kids were dropping out because of the heat, but all I could think about what was Coach Frank Wilson told me, to just keep pushing. So that is would I end up doing."
Typically, LSU utilizes big, downhill running backs. Palelei, small in stature, is more in the mold of a scat back or change-of-pace runner.
Nonetheless, he's ready to adjust to any system at the next level.
"I could see myself in both types of systems really. I think I am quick enough to do some things in the spread or a power running game," Palelei said. "I have really good change of direction and a school like LSU can also help me in being more of a power back."
Sione Palelei Scouting Report
Size: At only 5-8, Palelei is definitely on the short side. For a running back, however, height isn't as important as the thickness and power in their lower body. And Palelei is definitely thick in his legs. It is reasonable to believe he could push 200 pounds on the next level.
Speed/Agility/Acceleration: This is where he stands out. There aren't many backs in the country that have better start-stop ability than Palelei. It takes few steps for him to get to top speed and when he does, he can outrun most defenders. When he is forced to make quick cuts, he does so fluidly without losing much speed.
Toughness/Strength: While his skill set and size will have many thinking he is only valuable in space, it is hard to ignore his toughness and natural strength. He is very compact and has good leg drive to churn out the tough yards.
Vision: He does a great job reading the cut-back lanes. When he runs outside, he does a good job letting the play develop, showing patience and letting his blocks develop. Once he is in the open field he is extremely dangerous and does a great job setting up defenders.
Hands: Palelei is a very good receiver and has a good feel for the passing game. He shows really good ball skills and strong hands. He does a good job running crisp routes and extending his arms, which in turn expands his catching radius.
Overall: There will be some doubters because of Palelei's size, but he will have opportunities from really good programs looking to utilize his big-play ability. The all-purpose back or slot back is becoming more valuable on the college level as more programs move to the spread systems.

- What about my social life?
- I like sports – will I have to give them up?
- How long can I expect to feel low?
- What support services are available in my area?
- Is there someone here who can help me with money matters?
- What about food – is there anything I shouldn't eat?
- Is it okay for me to drink alcohol during my treatment?
- I was planning to go away on holiday – will I need to cancel?
- Which vaccinations can I have?
