Where to look for past discussions
Looking for help to find the information on the gold paint for the engines and also the "Dove Gray" paint on the convertible top parts. I know there are past discussions on these subjects but not able to find the right location on the forum. ~X( Thanks!! Bill
I think you could write what you are searching for in the top right rectangle where it is written: Search. Hope this will help you! Michel
I've tried this a number of times - I do the search (above right), hit the Go button, and get NO results - however it takes me to another search screen, and I enter the same information in, a second time, in the 'center' area of the screen. It then displays search results, and I can scroll down to the bottom & see 'more results'...
Good luck - -
Hey guys. I'd be interested to hear from you what search terms are returning no results.
Re. the 'dove gray' question, I did a search on the term 'dove' and found a thread called "Interesting paint...." - http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/comment/120495#Comment_120495
Is that the old discussion you're after?
By the way, here's something I learnt about the search function. If you type the search term "dove gray", the search will look for the following: dove gray, dove, gray. So it will return a number of results you don't want. The trick to working with a multi-word search term is to place a + sign in front of the search term - so: +dove gray
I hope this helps. But I'd also be interested to hear these search terms @46HudsonPU tried that returned no results.

Bill are you signed in when you attempt the search? The results you get are dependent on you status on the forum. Stranger status is not signed in.
Good Luck
@ScottFitzgerald - Interesting... When in 'Discussions', I typed-in "Dove Gray" into the search box (without the quotes) and clicked the 'Go' button. It returned NO results, however advanced me to the 'Search Results' screen, where I entered the information into the middle Search window, and clicked 'Search'. There, it returned numerous results (?)...
HOWEVER - When in 'Discussions', I then typed-in "Dove Gray" into the search box (without the quotes) and pressed the ENTER key. There, it took me to the 'Search Results' screen, and returned numerous results -
It appears that the "Go" button for the Search window does not function as it should (?). -
Hi Ken. Yes I am signed in and like Rick (46HudsonPU) said, I have had the same experience. When I enter "dove" or "+dove" it says no results. If I enter it a second time on the next page it will bring up the old threads that I was looking for from the "Masters"... Bill, Russell and Dennis!!
Scott, That seems to be my problem, that I have to enter it twice to find the older threads that I am looking for. Thanks for all your help.....when it comes to computers I need a lot of help!!
Thanks to everyone who helps in educating us guys who love Hudsons!! Bill -
Odd. I get the same search results whether I'm signed in or not. I also get the same results on the Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers. I type in the search term, and then I'm taken to a page with the search box right across the page, and all the results underneath.
@46HudsonPU and @402Bowtie - you're both using Internet Explorer?
Could I ask you Rick to email me a screenshot of this no results screen, along with the URL of the page? -
There does appear to be a problem, Scott. At least with IE. I searched for vapor lock, an old favorite, with or without the + preceding. No go. Then tried paint, NG. Then searched Kgap. This to was no results found, even though only a few days ago I myself commented on kgap.
@ScottFitzgerald - I am using IE 8.
As described in my last post, it appears that the 'Go' button does not work as it should. If I enter the search information into the window and press Enter on the keyboard, the search window works fine. If I enter the search information into the window and click the 'Go' button, NO results.
It is as if the information entered into the 'window' is not being read/recognized (?) if I don't hit Enter on the keyboard (i.e., I hit the 'Go' button, and the system is not reading the information entered into the search window) - Odd/difficult to explain... -
I'm firing up a PC now (uggh) to have a look at how IE behaves for me...
Scott.... Firefox report
As is stated above... the GO BUTTON... is bringing back mixed responses, some non desired results along with desired results. I used my Keyboard ENTER button as the execute button and got what was expected with and with out preceding discriminator characters or quotation marks. I was surprised the ENTER and GO buttons are not the same execution activators for Vanilla.
OK. As I see it, search works if I type in the term and press 'Enter', but if I use the 'Go' button it returns "No results for ."
I'll ticket this and have the developers look at it. It's an Internet Explorer issue only. Damn Microsoft and its non-adherence to standards! -
@Heart_Of_Texas I'm not seeing any variation with results on Firefox (for PC).
I checked using Firefox for Mac (version 11.0) and Firefox for PC (version 7.0.1) - what version are you using? -
@ScottFitzgerald - "Damn Microsoft and its non-adherence to standards!"
Scott - I fully understand, believe me... IMHO, Microsoft - as a company and innovator, is both arrogant, conceited, self-important, & so full of themselves that I have no doubt that they consider themselves as 'The Standard'. (i.e., Microsoft believes that if they go a different 'route', the industry will change or adjust to comply with it). -
@46HudsonPU I never was a fan of Internet Explorer, instead I used Firefox until it became too much like bloatware, then I switched to Safari. I've been using Chrome now for 6 months, and find it by far the best of the bunch.
I tried that +dove gray - and got posts going back to Noah - but little concerning dove gray. I tried +dove and again got post going back to Noah with little concerning dove, dove gray, gray or pigeons. I'm using Firefox and I'll admit I get some quirky things using it. For example I almost have to use IE to open files in the online library - Firefox takes forever.
Alex Burr
Memphis, TN -
Just passing. No time for me to read all but, I just tried and put KGap on the search button and it gave me at least 31 topics with KGap in the title or in the answers and it went back to august 2011. Will come back tomorrow and read more about it. Michel.
Hello all. The developers have applied a fix, and as far as I can see, Search now behaves for Internet Explorer users. Those of you that had the issue seeing 'No results' returned, are you now seeing search results whether you press the 'Go' button on screen or 'Enter' on your keyboards?
I see alot of random posts that are not related to the search request. I hope this info can help work out the kinks. I typed: Hudson engine color. Lee O'Dell
Hey Lee. I'm looking a little deeper into how search works. Can I also ask you, that search term, "Hudson engine color" - it's something that has definitely been discussed in the past? As that specific set of words?
I do not remember what the specific set of words were. Lee O'Dell
I believe the "GO" button is working now Scott, but like Lee says, a lot of random posts pop up that are not related to the request. I entered +dove gray and some of todays discussions pop up that have none of the key words listed. I enter "gold engine" and this should bring up past discussions of the gold paint used on the engines but it will bring up "rebuilding 175 splasher" and "54 Hornet blows white smoke" and these discussions don't have the word gold in it. I'm using pc version 7.0.1. Can the key words be made to to show up bold in past discussions? Anyone else having this problem? Thanks for your help Scott.
@402Bowtie and Lee. I've had a look at this, and learnt a little more about MySQL and boolean full text search than I really needed :)
I just have a few emails to send to have more of an answer on this, both for myself and for here on the forum.

You guys are prudes. I would totally work naked.
Some time you wake up" inspired '" with a solution to a problem ! best to get right at it before you loose the thought!
It WAS really hot today over at my house, I still keep my shorts on though.
Is this what goes on at a naturist camp?
Martint BuildYourOwnDrone.co.uk: yes it is the X1, and the DAA is all over me.
Greg Jackson: I learned the hot way to wear at least underwear while using the soldering iron.
Remo: It could be said I made her happy but not completely satisfied. I ran back to working on my quad as soon as I was done.
RD Stalwart: Amanda is looking for a cool garage, not a sad and messy living room..
Jason Wise: My LiPo's are made out of banana peels and lemon juice, fermented.
Suta: I refuse to use AC.
Carl: Sometimes I 'wake up'. period.
Dave: I have four of those. yeeaahhhhh. 4 Ah. I still haven't timed how long can i stay in the air.
TO ALL: I wasn't really naked, I was wearing blue underwear.
Glad you enjoyed the joke!
OH MY ... I can see one of our boxes on the table. Somehow it still makes me feel proud even thou assembly safety instruction have not been followed properly.
Trust me, molten solder lead does not feel nice on naked skin. How I know that, well i won't tell :)
Jani: I wasn't assembling at the time. I was working on the camera mount.
I'm terrified at the idea of molten solder in that area....
When i was much younger i worked as a welder and only wore shorts because of the heat of the day and working overhead crouched on my heels i was always getting hot beads burning thru and landing on Ummm so i learned the shimmy shake so they would fall into the bottom of the shorts needless to say i got burned on both the Umm and my yas now a days i work sans clothes because the sweat damps them out before you get a "Brand" mark and it only takes the shimmy to get them off . Of course i work alone and lock the shop door ,pants right next to it so if a caller comes i am at least half decent when i open the door .
evilmacaw: your story is amazing. I can't believe there is not a better way to deal with churning particles.

Last Saturday at Hive NYC's 1st Amendment Hack Jam, youth from throughout the five boroughs exercised their right to free speech and engaged in dialogue around self-expression, struggling against oppression and critiquing mainstream cultural messages.
They came, they spoke freely, they ate pizza.
Using Mozilla's Hackasaurus X-Ray Goggles and still developing webpage makinging tool, teens remixed websites and created their own.
Common Sense Media gave attendees a platform for expressing their thoughts on how it feels to be silenced, and posted up some of the excellent results:
At the World UP table, participants asked one another about controversial topics like same-sex marriage, the environment, bullying, and the state of education. Below, Aaron Lazansky, aka DJ Spaze Craft One, provides some guidance to two young people getting ready to record their opinions:
Pop Squad!, a project of the People's Production House, allowed participants to hack videos and other media content using Mozilla Popcorn Maker to add pop-up commentary. Check out that work here.
Some really compelling messages about our criminal justice system and its impact on youth came out of the Global Action Project's initiative for the day. Given photos of people of different ages and walks of life being arrested, or interacting with law enforcement in other ways, Hack Jam attendees added thought-provoking statements including the ones below:
- The remixed ads created at The LAMP station gained applause for their humorous takes on how commercial culture manipulates viewers. Katherine Fry from The LAMP also spoke to attendees about Fair Use – what it means and how it protects us.
- Lawyers from the American Constitution Society answered questions about student rights and let participants make armbands to experience solidarity with students from the 1960s who were suspended from school–and later vindicated by the Supreme Court–for wearing black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War.
- The New York Civil Liberties Union showcased their "school to prison pipeline" interactive online game and showed videos about LGBTQ student rights in schools.
- And Vee Bravo of the Tribeca Film Institute spoke about how it felt to lose a fight with New York City over a free-speech issue in the early 1990s: Stress, a hip-hop magazine co-founded by Bravo, ran a parody of an anti-graffiti ad, changing it into a protest against the city's harsh treatment of graffiti writers. The city demanded they take the magazine out of circulation, and they didn't have the resources to effectively fight back.

During the 51st Session of the Commission on the Status of Women, held at UN headquarters in New York, youth delegate Sunita Tamang participates in the 'Girls Speak Out' panel on 2 March. |
By Sunita Tamang
Sunita Tamang, 15, recently participated in the 51st session of the Commission on the Status of Women, held at UN headquarters in New York. She has written the following letter to participants in the High Level Conference on 'Keeping Our Promises on Education' in Brussels on 2 May 2007.
BIRATNAGAR, Nepal – My name is Sunita and I am 15 years old. I live with my mother and sister in Biratnagar in eastern Nepal. When I was still a young child my father abandoned us, leaving us even poorer than we had been before. To make ends meet, my mother took a job in a jute mill, and I started working at matchstick factory.
School for me was out of the question – we simply couldn't afford it.
But that changed in 1999, when I found out about a UNICEF-supported programme offering catch-up classes for out-of-school children like me. I signed up and started taking classes, two hours a day. It was not always easy, but I was motivated to learn and worked really hard. After two years, I caught up to Grade 5. Now I am awaiting the results of my Grade 10 final exams, which for us is the last year of high school; it seems that my motivation and hard work have paid off.
Helping others get an education
I still have my job at the match factory. I mostly bring work home. I make the boxes and fill them with matches, then take them back to the factory and fetch more materials. I work a total of five to six hours a day. Every two days, when I make 1,000 matchboxes, I get paid 20 rupees – or 30 cents. It is not much, but it is enough for me to buy school supplies for myself and my younger sister.
So I am still a working child, but nonetheless an educated one. And I hope to go on to university some day.
I am also helping other children like me to get an education. Together with friends I set up a club for working children in our community. We try to teach them about their rights and how to fight discrimination and HIV/AIDS. Although these children may be forced to work, we believe they should also have a chance to go to school so that their future is better than their present. There are 22 working children clubs in my town, and I was recently selected as Chairperson of the Municipal-Level Working Children's Network.
Time to keep your promises
I am writing to you today to remind you of a certain promise you made seven years ago. By telling you first-hand how education changed my life, maybe you will feel moved to commit to education for all children. I was only a little girl when the international community pledged to send all the world's children to school by 2015. That deadline approaches and we are still lagging behind. I don't understand why. If countries have enough money to go to war, they must have enough to send their children to school.
Children who do not go to school may never know anything about their rights. They may never have a chance to climb above poverty or learn to protect themselves from abuse and disease. They may not be able to help their own countries develop.
That is why on behalf of the millions of girls and boys who are not as fortunate as I have been, I urge you to set things right. The decisions you make today will affect the lives of many children worldwide. The time to keep your promises on education is NOW!

Best Italian in Friday Harbor. I love Italian food and this was the only place that satisfied my need to have it. The service was so quick and friendly, recommending food that after tasting, was well recommended! The dessert just topped off my night (and the space in my stomach) and I don't think I've ever enjoyed a meal as much! Go here please and enjoy yourselves as much as I did.
AWESOME FIND!. We visited Vinny's last weekend 9/26. We had a beautiful view of the water still, despite the condos. The food was beyond wonderful, complete with complimentary bread, oil, balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic. My husband had the best flat iron steak and veggies he's ever had and I had the best seafood fettucini I've ever had - full of seafood - clams, oysters, mussels, prawns, salmon, scallops, finished with a basil garlic cream sauce to die for. The service was exceptional and we will definitely be returning here! The prices were also very good compared to the waterfront restaurants.
OK Italian. This Italian restaurant used to be one of our favorites, unfortunately it has completely lost it's view of the ocean due to condo development, so there is no view. The food was so so , menu is a lot smaller and I found out they no longer serve complimentary bread rolls with roasted garlic, olive oil, and balsamic like before. Maybe they are cutting costs? It is under new ownership. The pasta dish I had was very dry and flavorless, a bit cold, with gobs of goat cheese?? Didn't get it. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Honestly next time I want some good Italian food I'll cook it at home. Not impressed.
A room with a view and lively Italian fare are the draws for dinner dates..
The Scene
Lights droop as if strung from the branches of a tree, creating a breezy, romantic air conducive to dining in intimate twos and friendly fours. Ask for a window seat and watch the ferries and storms move over the bay. Servers are young and engaging and offer excellent suggestions from a menu they've clearly sampled extensively.
The Food
The kitchen's best recipe--a sweet-savory toss of pine nuts, raisins, lemon and garlic in olive oil--shows up in several guises. Whether it's the flash-fried calamari or the red-hot pasta "from hell," the recipe is a success. A perfectly grilled portobello mushroom melting into goat cheese readies the tongue for the sort of baked ziti you could eat all night long.

Lithuanian born model Giedre Dukauskaite is the girl from all your wildest dreams, but she is also the girl from all the magazines.
At just 24 years old, the brunette beauty has a career that her peers could only dream of.
PHOTOS: Giedre Dukauskaite: From Farm Girl To Supermodel
Known for her luscious locks and razor sharp cheekbones, the now native New Yorker has been featured in nearly every major fashion magazine since she dominated the industry in 2007.
All modeling aside, Giedre shares that once her days of strutting down the runway have came and gone, she would like to dabble in chefing it up professionally in the kitchen.
And who said models don't eat?
PHOTOS: Giedre Dukauskaite: High Fashion Sexy
GlobalGrind had the pleasure of catching up with the runway beauty to learn a little more about everything from her favorite place to shoot, to her deepest beauty secrets.
Check out the exclusive Q&A below.
How did you first get involved in modeling?
Giedre: I got discovered in my hometown in Lithuania by now my mother-agent. I was just another schoolgirl at that time, until I went to NY for fashion week. It went so well, a lot of people had to learn how to pronounce 'Giedre.'
What it your favorite place in the world to shoot?
My fave place to shoot is inside the studio! There is air conditioning, and nice food catered. Beach pics sure look hot, but it's hard to shoot.
What are your beauty secrets?
I think a good person is beautiful, a healthy person is beautiful. Those are the true secrets. Physically, I believe it's all about drinking water and moisturizer.
Aside from modeling, what do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I really enjoy reading books. My favorite is graphic novels, novels and detective stories.
What do you plan to do after you finish modeling?
I'd like to model for a while longer and then retire and become a chef. In the long run, make a family of my own so I have someone to cook for.
What was your biggest culture shock when moving to NYC?
I didn't really experience culture shock in NY because I arrived from Chin. But NY is a very special city. I like that everyone can be whoever they want to be and everyone has big dreams.
What are the items you have in your handbag that you can't leave the house without?
I always have my phone with me. I'm always a model on duty.
Which celebrity wardrobe do you envy?
My wardrobe envy has to be Kate Moss'. She has all the great leather jackets and rocks skinny jeans. Kate always looks effortlessly chic.
What was the most memorable moment of your career thus far?
Shooting with Steven Meisel, he's a genius with no doubt. And another one is meeting and working for Muccia Prada. Her collections are so inspiring!

on Once Upon A Time In Philomath
I have re-read it...your point? Remember, this is supposed to be about the kids and their future, not the businesses or the Christians. The day of silence is not a "reward" for helping Philomath. Do you know what it is? If businesses and Christians want a day of silence or maybe recognition, then go do it...make one...and it too will most likely be recognized at the school, because we have great Christians and businesses in our town that do indeed need acknowledgement, as we do Pagans, Buddhists, Atheists, Secular Humanists, Homosexuals, Heterosexuals, Native Americans, Hispanics, White, and the labeling list goes on. We can celebrate everyone...not just one group. On this point of helping, yes, many religious and non-religious groups have given freely to Philomath. We have lots of community support and help; it is wonderful. I have definitely put into this community...but this isn't about me...it shouldn't be about politics or religion either, or about certain values or morals or judgments, but about a gift to the the children of the community to help them fulfill their dreams. The kids have been the ones suffering while everyone debates the true simmering issue: liberalism vs conservatism. So to them...get the scholarship if you are in line with it, if not move on. This is an age-old "fight" that is going on in America. If you have ideas to solve it or make it better...go for it. I know Philomath's teens are, as are so many teens everywhere, more with it, accepting, practical, tolerant, and intelligent than people know. Some of the teens sent amazing letters into the Gazette Times when some of this was going down a few years ago. Do whatever you feel is following your OWN life's purpose (college or not). If someone wants to give you a gift, make sure you don't have to sacrifice your beliefs, dreams, lifestyle, and so on, and be aware and careful if there are any "strings attached" that compromise any part of you.

No, I am saying "define" morals and make sure they are not hurtful or discriminatory. For me to really know what you mean by "my secular ideas", I would need to know your definition of "secular". My ideas, actually come from many sources (religion, having "been there all my life", spiritual, psychology, sociology, working with kids, raising kids.....life). Basically, I knew all of the people you mentioned and worked with them and didn't see anything that warranted them being asked to leave. I even know you and think you are a good person. And yes, we never know the WHOLE story...not you or me. The principal did a great job of bringing diversity in...allowing ALL students to be who they are (and that is not forcing beliefs on anyone)...Christian, Pagan, Heterosexual, Homosexual, athlete, art student and she was sensitive to the minorities, such as with the Warrior statue removal. When we discover that something hurts someone (discrimination against their sexual orientation, irreverently using a groups' religious icon ie...the statue) it would be great if we could adopt a new practice. America is great for that...we have made so many strides for freedom...and I simply hope to see Philomath embracing everyone's freedoms (and I am not saying we should let "true crime" run rampant...like stealing and so forth.). I love this town and I love that it is evolving into even a more caring and accepting community. I am a "native", which is ironic, are you? Also, If the superintendent "hung himself in the video", what has Lowther done in real life? I have but mentioned a few things. I have seen kids crying due to the loss of the scholarship - good kids that are liberal or conservative or have green hair, because the Foundation is playing out their politics and religious beliefs first, and helping kids, maybe, lastly. There were at times appropriate stipulations put on the scholarship: drug testing, grades and so forth, with ways to improve and come back and re-apply and qualify (raise your grades...get off drugs...but not to become "one man's idea of a certain type of Christian".) Charity should be charity and we could maybe stop seeing it as "Christian" charity or "liberal" charity or labeling it at all. To give a gift, like the Clemens' did, was to give a gift without strings attached, so that any child could fly and find his or her OWN dreams. It doesn't take much research (although I have done plenty) to recognize how to treat the kids with love and acceptance and truly give a gift. Now, I know that no-one is truly "evil" or "bad", they just do what they think is best given where they are at this point in life, Lowther included. He will eventually see where he has hurt and where he has helped. I hope and pray that he will quit hurting and start just helping.

It is sad that he IS a right-wing-conservative-fundamentalist-Christian that happens to behave in a discriminatory way. Not all Christians agree with him and of course, not all "old timers" do either. I am a 2nd generation and my father knew Clemens - who also donated the public pool, too; he was generous without discrimination and certainly didn't put restrictions on who could or could not use it. So, not all "old timers" from Philomath have his "traditional values" - i.e. against those with higher education, homophobic, against new ideas and change, against anything "green", and against anything "PC". He is "against" so much! You are getting at definition, really. The word "value" should mean something positive, but it doesn't always. His "values" and they way he goes about implementing them is hurtful and discriminatory. He sent a public letter to all the citizens of Philomath ranting against the High School's Gay-Straight Alliance (they had to rename it) and the counselor that (by the way, is a Christian) was the advisor for that group; he helped shut a high school play down, he opposed allowing students to dye their hair or have piercings, because it wasn't conducive for his 6-year old nephew, (and had student's afraid that they would loose the scholarship if they participated in drama...or anything besides forestry). He called and accused our principal (she is no longer there) of "making students gay", because she allowed a group to participate in the National Day of Silence. He definitely has an agenda to push his political and religious beliefs - fine, but don't do it with such antagonistic, discriminatory, controlling behavior. Just a few years ago some students were NOT taking the scholarship, because of their values. They did not want money that backed hateful, discriminatory views - it was tainted to them. They directly expressed this to me. I do see values changing in the Philomath school system, for the better. I see caring educators genuinely working to provide the best environment for learning for ALL students (those in art or science and those in forestry and those that are in BOTH, along with those in the Bible club and those in GSA, these do not have to oppose each other as he wants them to). The definition of "value" here could stand for accepting the inherent worth and dignity of all students/people, versus a type of political or religious belief. I put this "undesirable stuff" out there, because people in Philomath and especially in the school district do not feel safe saying anything about what "THE FOUNDATION" had done.

The foundation is big into religious morality, thus the schools they have picked are in line with their convictions. I, too, understand the "second generation" idea. As I stated earlier, kids were coming in just to get the scholarship. Unfortunately, now, it is about religion, politics, and fear of diversity/change. So now they make "personal judgments" about schools and kids for their scholarship. It is, though, private money and they can make the rules. I just have difficulty with his desire to "run" the school and school board/town/citizens etc. with promise of his "gift". I hope Philomath can move past this and let the scholarship foundation know they cannot make us do things anymore (like run out our superintendent and high school principal - she got death threats over the warrior statue issue, by the way).

I am an 80's graduate of PHS and received the Clemens scholarship for one year of my undergraduate work and then applied the rest to my graduate work. I came back to Philomath to teach at the high school. I am a the daughter of a logger and my 19 year old is a 3rd generation, but now cannot get the scholarship. I can remember students moving to Philomath my senior year (my class grew before we graduated) to get the scholarship. One girl on my basketball team openly stated that is why she moved to this school. To stop this the scholarship requirements changed over the next few years while my son was in school. Some of the changes were that you had to attend the high school all 4 years; then you had to go 8 years, with the last 4 at the high school (so 4 elementary OR junior high). Then, while I was teaching there the real issues began. Steve Lowther started getting involved in more than just the scholarship, he began to get involved in the school (voicing how he thought it should be run...like the good ole' days). He fought against the gay/straight alliance, content of a school play, and school dress codes, to name a few. He likened new people to our town to that of new trees poisoning the old. A few of my students got the scholarship, but had to listen to Lowther tell them his views (against spotted owl and environmentalists and his political stances (He wanted them to agree with him in order to get the scholarship.) He spoke at the school and likened liberals to Hitler. He said people were too "politically correct" and he was against diversity. He then was upset at OSU for their sustainable logging practices and an incident that involved a fight with a white and black student there, then yanked the scholarship from kids at that school, first. It became evident that he was interested in reversing the intent of the scholarship from what the Clemens' had built it for. I was always told in school, that they wanted to give back to the community and saw the timber industry as something that was not sustainable and wanted small town kids to be able to go out and get an education and move into professional careers in order to compete with kids from bigger towns. Lowther, on the other hand, is reversing it and wants them to stay in those troubled industries. He has raged against educated professionals coming into the town and changing things (they were coming into the town to help the students make it in today's world).

When i was younger celebrated Easter, I had the baskets and every year we travelled to Pennsylvania to celebrate.
Skip now to the present and I have to say that my kids have never had Easter Baskets and never looked for eggs. I won't get into why, but I can tell you that some people live under the illusion that such things can pull you away from any real reason to celebrate.
So this Easter things changed. I knew my grandson was going to have an Easter basket and as I prepared for his, I thought about my kids. So I ran back to the store and grabbed a few more baskets and the fun began.
It was fun!
Did it take away from the true meaning? Nope, I think it added to it, family, fun, laughing, sharing and loving.. I mean isn't THAT was Jesus is all about? I don't think we need to make it all have the same meaning, but just not forget the true meaning of the holidays we celebrate!
Later on we did an Easter Egg hunt, now remember, I've never done these and my participation has been from the receiving eyes of a child. Ami and I bought the eggs together and I told him all about hiding the eggs and looking for them. So on Easter I took his eggs (each filled with a fun item) and hid them, in doing so, he saw me take his eggs and wondered what I was doing, so I explained I had to hide them so he could find them…
Later I learned it's the Easter "bunny" that hides them.. well, now it's me that hides them.
Either way, Ami went nuts and he loved it. he had a blast, we hide them in the Atrium of his building and I video taped from the 2nd floor. My son and his girlfriend helped give Ami some motivation, but as you can see, he needed none!
We had a great time. There is nothing like family and love and being together on a holiday!

"More people without health care since George Bush took office; more children in poverty since George Bush took office."
Barack Obama on Friday, April 18th, 2008 in a campaign speech in Williamsport, Pa.
More uninsured, but blame skewed
Obama talked about things that have gone amiss in the past 7 years, beginning with the rising population of uninsured Americans.
"More people without health care since George Bush took office; more children in poverty since George Bush took office," Obama said during an April 18, 2008, speech in Williamsport, Pa.
Obama is promoting a health plan that he contends will offer universal coverage and address the needs of individuals who do not currently have health insurance. We've already ruled that Obama's plan does not guarantee universal coverage.
Obama is correct that the uninsured population has grown during this decade. An analysis of Census data by representatives of the Commonwealth Fund, a health care think tank, finds the uninsured population has risen by 8.6-million people since 2000, reaching a total 47-million in 2006, the last year for which figures are available. The primary culprit is the rapid growth in health care costs and premiums, which is leading employers — especially small companies — to pass more costs to workers or eliminate coverage altogether.
Candidates have largely focused on three strategies to address the problem: offer tax incentives to buy private insurance policies (McCain's favored option), insure everyone through a government-run program like Medicare or create a hybrid group insurance market that would provide people with a choice of public or private health plans (the preferred route of Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton, though we've examined the differences between their plans ).
Obama's statement highlights a major social policy concern, but it's not entirely accurate to pin all the blame on President Bush. Health costs are driven in large part by increased use of sophisticated medical tests and procedures, as well as rising drug costs and falling personal incomes.
The second half of Obama's statement, "more children in poverty since George Bush took office," can be interpreted in different ways. We take him to mean that more children are below the poverty level now than in 2000. Census statistics support that point, showing the population of families below the poverty level with children under the age of 18 increased from 4.9-million in 2000 to 5.8-million in 2006.
Obama correctly cites the growing number of uninsured Americans, as well as children in poverty, since President Bush took office. But by making Bush's tenure the benchmark for measuring those statistics, Obama is implying a level of direct responsibility for the numbers that can't quite be established with complicated social matters. That brings us to Mostly True.

Navy Birthday Concert
For more than two centuries, American men and women have stood the watch. Sailors move silently through deep Atlantic waters and guide massive fleets across the Pacific. Desert Sailors hike across the hills of Afghanistan and make for their own the great blue skies. our Navy does this across the globe and around the clock. Sailors were the first to plant a flag, the American flag, at the North Pole, and the moon. The oceans of the world belong to the American Sailor for one reason: a fighting spirit that has stood the test of time.
Join Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert and the United States Navy Band for a special afternoon of music at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 14 at 4 p.m. The free concert will feature the Navy's Concert Band, Sea Chanters chorus, and Country Current country/bluegrass group.
This year's concert, "America's Navy: Defining the Fighting Spirit," celebrates our Navy: past, present and future. From the Battle of Baltimore, where our national anthem was born, to the establishment of the SEALs 50 years ago, to our forward-deployed force of today, we are America's Navy - always ready and forever standing the watch.
Visit the Naval Historical Society's website for more information on the Navy's Birthday.

food & grocery: Frugal Friday at Chef Restaurant Mediterranean Grill - many filling options fit a tight budget
Mary Bilyeu | Contributor
We were greeted by a very warm and friendly hostess/waitress, who let us pick whichever table we wanted. As we perused the menu, it was clear that there were many items which would qualify for our mandatory frugal budget of $5 per person: soups, sandwiches, salads, desserts... an entire array.
Mary Bilyeu | Contributor
He also ordered a side of fries for $2.95, which would make a nice snack with a soda or juice. The small order was still quite a good size, so I can't imagine how much you'd get for the large one!
I decided to start with a cup of the lovely lentil soup, which cost $2.50. It was rich, but not heavy, and subtly spiced. It was a perfect serving if you were going to help your son to eat the copious quantity of french fries he'd ordered.
Mary Bilyeu | Contributor
The chef, who is originally from Lebanon and has an impressive background of international travel and culinary experience, came out to the dining area briefly and smiled happily as Jeremy and I told him how wonderful his food was. Our waitress then brought over a laptop, after watching me take the necessary pictures of our dinner, and showed gorgeous photos of elaborate displays that the chef has prepared. Had we ordered more expensive meals — none very highly priced, but more than our $5 budget would allow — our plates would have been works of art.
There are many vegetarian options at the Chef Restaurant, and everything we ate was fabulous. The next time you're craving Middle Eastern food, be sure to stop by and indulge for very reasonable prices!

Ericksen Cycles wins award at homemade bike show
Steamboat shop earns win for 3rd year
Friday, March 4, 2011
Steamboat Springs Kent Eriksen never makes a specific bike for a show.
So as the 2011 North American Handmade Bicycle Show drew closer and Eriksen needed a bike to show, he turned to something unique, and most important, functional.
Eriksen Cycles won for Best Tandem Frame at the Austin, Texas, show last week, marking the third year in a row the Steamboat Springs company has come home with an award. In 2009 and 2010, Eriksen Cycles won for Best Titanium Frame.
The Eriksen bike that won took more than 75 hours to build, features 29-inch wheels and brakes used on mopeds in Europe, costs about $12,000 and was used to win last summer's Laramie Enduro bike race.
"It did quite a few different events," Eriksen said. "It was even kind of dirty. We didn't clean it for the show."
The North American Handmade Bicycle Show began in 2005 as a way to bring together some of North America's finest handmade-frame builders. The show has grown from a small national collection of builders to include some of the world's best bike builders.
Eriksen said his company doesn't build many tandem bikes, maybe 1 percent of the 150 or 160 custom bikes it does per year.
There are certainly challenges in building a tandem bike. Eriksen said the toughest part was centering it during the welding process and taking two concept drawings and making them into one.
He had no expectations of winning and said he was pleasantly surprised.
"We go there and try to sell bikes that are rideable and durable," he said. "It's a good value for people that are really into riding bikes."
The show usually features bike builders who build 50 to 150 bikes a year, but several bigger bike companies, such as Steamboat-based Moots Cycles, also attend.
"Under that one roof is the gathering of the best in the business," said Moots' marketing manager Jon Cariveau, noting that Moots displayed bikes from its road and mountain collection.
"There is not any bad-quality stuff made or shown. We all get to ogle at each other's bikes," he said.
The 2012 show is slated for Sacramento, Calif. Despite winning an award three years running, Eriksen sounded more pleased with the Texas weather Thursday than worried about next year's show.
"We haven't thought about it for next year," he said. "Again, we last-minute pick the bikes. We never make a bike for a show. We usually just use the best ones we have lying around."

Only a few days remain until the launch of the MENA ICT Forum, October 10-11, in Amman. This event promises to be one of the best in the region, with a great cast of speakers, sessions, and partners. Building on years of a Jordan-focused event, 2010 is the first year that this conference has a region-wide focus... and it promises to be exciting.
More than covering just the flashy new tech trend of the day, the Forum covers some critical topics that are central to sustainable social and economic development, such as e-government, education, and the Arabic content crisis. The full agenda is available on their site.
With so many events happening around the region, it is no accident that we are making the trip from Beirut to Amman for this one... we'll be covering the event live, plus taking notes and checking out ideas for what we can do in Lebanon, and how we can contribute to the energy and ecosystem that is so helpful for emerging innovators and entrepreneurs who work locally and need to develop and compete globally.
Register today and join the fun!
... more info from Amman in a few days.

I happen to groove on population statistics, but I realize that for most people they rival watching paint dry, or the heartbreak of psoriasis, as a good time. Faced with a new report from the Pew Forum on the global Christian population, therefore, let's start with a few deliberately bold assertions to get the blood moving.
Based on the study, here are three rules of thumb about Christian growth and decline -- extrapolations which go well beyond the contents of the Pew report, but which can be supported by the data it contains:

What's Your Primary Instrument ?
General Music Forum
Jul 31 2007, 05:09 PM
The title says it all really - what's everybody's primary instrument ???
Jul 31 2007, 05:11 PM
Assuming you mean favourite/the one I'm best at - flute.

Assuming you mean favourite/the one I'm best at - flute.
I suppose in theory you could be, say, a full-time teacher of piano, but the instrument you enjoy playing the most is the violin. I would say your primary instrument would still be the piano. Similarly you could be an orchestral musician on, say, clarinet, but prefer playing the piano for pleasure - I would say the clarinet is the primary instrument. But having said that, it's up to the individual to decide what they consider to be their primary instrument if they play more than one
Jul 31 2007, 05:24 PM
Voted guitar (classical) but am torn between that and cello.

Ahh OK. Well I guess the flute fits into both those definitions, mostly... so that's OK! (on bad days of course it gets relegated to "instrument I am rubbish at and hate with a passion!"
(Violin I have been playing for somewhat longer, but in terms of skill and enjoyment I'm afraid it'd still lose out!)

I voted for violin. I don't think any other instrument could ever take the place it seems to have acquired in my heart, and I really don't know where I'd be now if I hadn't taken it up.
Jul 31 2007, 05:36 PM
Awwww... great reasons to play an instrument!
Jul 31 2007, 05:42 PM
Jul 31 2007, 06:54 PM
Favourite: organ
Spend most time working on: organ
Highest exam pass: clarinet
Play most confidently: flute
Perform with most regularly: voice
Been playing the longest: piano
I voted organ, cos it's the one I'm most serious about and the one I love best, even though (or maybe partly because?) it's a tough challenge to learn.
It's not the thing I play best at the moment, but I hope that one day it will be.
Jul 31 2007, 07:48 PM
I think flute has taken over from piano as my primary instrument. I definetly enjoy it more.
Jul 31 2007, 09:23 PM
Same, piano used to be my first instrument but now my flute's taken over
Jul 31 2007, 09:33 PM

I've put piano because it's the instrument I have been playing consistently the longest and also the one which I have the highest certificate in. Voice is a very close second and may end up overtaking, too soon to say yet
Aug 1 2007, 08:51 AM
Well, with a name like oboist I could hardly vote double bass could I?!!
Oboe, oboe, oboe, oboe, oboe......!! I LOVE MY OBOE!!!
Got the message.....?!!
Aug 1 2007, 10:16 AM
Well I play Tuba and Bassoon but now I have to play tuba for marching band. (At the level my schoo is at, tuba's never have to play anything difficult) I love solos though, like Siegfried which I got a one on
Aug 1 2007, 10:23 AM
Piano is winning!
Piano is the best!
(not that I'm biased of course...
Aug 1 2007, 10:45 AM
Lone cellist on the poll right now
Piano's my first instrument though

Are there any more double bass players or is it just me?
Aug 1 2007, 06:04 PM
No viola players seem to be voting either.
I seem to be playing recorder a lot more than viola these days, but I'd still consider it my main instrument - it's certainly the one I'd be most proficient on and my favourite overall

Hmm.. why do I get the feeling that the first example given refers to me?
Actually I enjoy both depending on the mood. Piano because I'm better at it, and violin because I want to get better at it! Anyway, since you say that, I voted for the piano. And it does seem a lot of people started on the piano first.

I think a larger than average proportion of violists have it as a (scuse the pun) second string instrument. I do (Sorry!) therefore voted flute.
Aug 1 2007, 06:43 PM
My oboe wins every time...
I just love it!!!!
Who could want to play anything else??
***now deafened by all everyone else on here except oboist***
Aug 1 2007, 10:49 PM
Piano, flute, violin - no surprises there then!!

QUOTE(sarah-flute @ Aug 1 2007, 11:49 PM)
Piano, flute, violin - no surprises there then!!
I remember reading somewhere, some years ago, that the most popular instrument for graded exams was the piano, followed by the violin, with flute and clarinet fighting it out for 3rd and 4th.
Can I remember where it was I saw this? Unfortunately not...
Aug 2 2007, 09:06 AM
Instrument I've been playing the longest - piano, main and favourite instrument - the soprano cornet!
Aug 2 2007, 11:18 AM
Piano, but with three competing for second place at the moment!
Aug 2 2007, 11:24 AM
don't know what I'd do without it
Aug 2 2007, 12:24 PM
Flute - how do you all learn more than one?!!
Aug 3 2007, 12:32 PM
Flute, then piano (just!)
I have a very unoriginal combination of instruments evidently...
Aug 3 2007, 06:13 PM
Instrument played for longest: In general, recorder- whichever one it may be
Instrument best at: Flute
Instrument enjoyed most at: dunno, love them both!probably flute, but depends on what kind of day i've had!
Highest grade passed on: Flute, easy cus i haven't done any recorder ones...always intended, never actually got round to doing them...maybe one day

Aug 5 2007, 02:54 AM
Well...... we're all a bit of a melting pot, aren't we.
Been playing longest - piano
Teacher's dip. - french horn
There are sooooo few of us wee brassys around, aaaahhhhh
Teach - brass (Very FEW pupils I'm sorry to say)
and upper strings - greater numbers each year
and piano/electric keyboard - most pupils
I have very little opportunity to play brass really unless I work away myself. Much more inclined to pop into the music shop and buy piano music, y'know? Bit of the old story, I can sit up at the piano for 5-10 mins now and again and work up a wee piece over time.
Aug 5 2007, 09:24 AM
Well, I think it's going to be Oboe soon, but at the moment, its Piano.
Aug 5 2007, 09:48 AM
My piano definitely...I'd hate to be without it now.
Followed by voice, clarinet and recorder.
Aug 6 2007, 06:51 PM
Don't know.
Flute, by all accounts, as I teach it, and have studied it longest and at the highest level.
But I was disconcerted by someone asking me yesterday whether recorder was my 'first' instrument (having heard me play both flute and recorder).
I'm more relaxed with recorder, certainly.
My favourite? Currently voice, followed by recorder, followed by flute and piano.
Aug 6 2007, 06:54 PM
Piano, as the name suggests
Aug 7 2007, 04:39 AM
1. organ is going to be my "first" instrument startin this september, which is the beginning of my 2nd year in university.
2. Instrument played for the longest: Pianoforte (planning to take up lessons again)
3. Voice used to be my first and i really enjoy singing.
4. Instrumnet played for the "shortest" years: organ (2.5 years)
5. Favourite instrument: organ, love the hard work and the challenge.
Aug 7 2007, 06:41 AM
Longest - Piano
Highest Standard - Saxophone
Most competent - Piano
Played most in bands - Trombone
Enjoying most (atm) - Flute
I voted piano though..
Aug 7 2007, 11:01 PM
I voted Sax
Aug 8 2007, 11:09 AM
Voted cello
even though I'm now trying to focus mainly on the viol and it might become my primary instrument in the future...anyway, at the moment it's cello I guess

QUOTE(skylark @ Jul 31 2007, 06:09 PM)
The title says it all really - what's everybody's primary instrument ???
Based on what I chose as my primary study at teacher training college on music specialist course and what I love most, Piano, based on what I do best, Singing.
Do best - Singing joint second study at TTC
Love most - Piano first study at TTC
Played the most - Viola joint second study switch from Violin at TTC
Compulsory at TTC - Guitar, useless!
Compulsory at TTC - Recorder, interesting!
Want to learn - Cello
Want to learn - Tenor Sax or Bassoon but no hopes of getting an embouchure
Sep 3 2007, 05:39 PM
Fav/Most played in groups: Trombone (because they're in demand... unlike flutes... and to be honest, they get a much cooler part. And it's more fun being in the brass section, you must admit)
Most practice: Piano (coz it's there and I can just sit down and play)
Started learning first: Flute
