Do Any States Require BSN?
Does anyone know if any states currently require a BSN as the minimum entry level preparation to obtain an RN license? Are any states seriously considering such a move? I'm just wondering since most of the professional nursing groups endorse the BSN as the minimum degree needed in nursing today.

studentJun 8, '00At this time, the only state that requires a BSN for an RN license is North Dakota.
The requirement of a BSN for licensure has been the topic of hot debate for quite some time, and I highly doubt we'll see changes any time soon. (Hopefully, as I currently have my ADN! <g> )
AngelaJun 8, '00Thanks, A, for the info. I had heard that New York was going to require a BSN within the next few years and that current nurses without a BSN would have to go back to school to upgrade.
[This message has been edited by CarolM (edited June 08, 2000).]Jun 8, '00Do you thing requiring a BSN is realistic in this time of nursing shortages? I know that here in the midwest (IL) nurses area great commodity. We recently received word our hospital was going to review salaries two or three times per year, just to keep up with what other hospitals are offerring. I'm an ADN grad also.Jun 20, '00Even if all of the states decided to require BSN for minimum entry,all of the current AD nurses would remain RN's because of they would be "grandfathered" in.The debate of entry level RN has been in discussion since 68 and it was predicted that it would be required to have a BSN ten years ago but still hasn't happened ,although I feel it will because they are phasing out the opportunities that you have with an ASN degree. and as of now North Dakota is the only one that doesnt use AD nurses.Nov 17, '11I currently only have my associate's degree and have been working as a nurse for over 5 years. Today I was forewarned that by 2018 my employer will require all RN's to have a BSN and that ADN nurses would be given until that time to finish or give valid proof that you are working towards the degree. The nurse said that all ADN nurses would be notified so they could begin to pursue their BSN degrees or basically look for work elsewhere as we are a magnet hospital and so they want the hospital staff solely by BSN nurses.

Proposed Rule
Document Details
Published Document
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT).
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as an incomplete discharge of the extinguishing agent in the fire zone, which could lead, in the worst case, in combination with an engine fire, to a temporary uncontrolled engine fire. The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.
We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 12, 2007.
You may send comments by any of the following methods:
- DOT Docket Web site: Go to http://dms.dot.gov and follow the instructions for sending your comments electronically.
- Fax: (202) 493-2251.
- Mail: Docket Management Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Nassif Building, Room PL-401, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
- Hand Delivery: Room PL-401 on the plaza level of the Nassif Building, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
- Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains this proposed AD, the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information. The street address for the Docket Office (telephone (800) 647-5227) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.Start Further Info

Streamlined Issuance of AD
The FAA is implementing a new process for streamlining the issuance of ADs related to MCAI. This streamlined process will allow us to adopt MCAI safety requirements in a more efficient manner and will reduce safety risks to the public. This process continues to follow all FAA AD issuance processes to meet legal, economic, Administrative Procedure Act, and Federal Register requirements. We also continue to meet our technical decision-making responsibilities to identify and correct unsafe conditions on U.S.-certificated products.
This proposed AD references the MCAI and related service information that we considered in forming the engineering basis to correct the unsafe condition. The proposed AD contains text copied from the MCAI and for this reason might not follow our plain language principles.
Comments Invited
We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include "Docket No. FAA-2007-26834; Directorate Identifier 2006-NM-235-AD" at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this proposed AD because of those comments.
We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://dms.dot.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this proposed AD.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the aviation authority for the European Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2006-0297, dated September 29, 2006 (referred to after this as "the MCAI"), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states that one Model A330 operator discovered that the line connection to the discharge head could not be properly secured during engine fire bottle replacement, due to a missing retaining-ring. Inspections revealed that all four discharge-heads line connectors, two per engine, were missing the retaining-ring. It was confirmed later that it was a quality issue.
The function of the retaining-ring is to secure a tight connection between the fire-extinguishing line and the discharge head. In absence of the retaining-ring, in case of activation of the fire extinguishing system, the pressure exerted by the agent on the pipe could compromise the tightness of the connection, leading to an incomplete discharge of the extinguishing agent in the fire zone.
This situation, if not corrected,could lead, in the worst case, in combination with an engine fire, to a temporary uncontrolled engine fire which constitutes an unsafe condition.
The MCAI requires a one-time detailed visual inspection for the presence of the retaining-ring on the discharge head assembly of the engine fire extinguishing system, and repair if necessary. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.
Relevant Service Information
Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A330-26A3037, dated July 26, 2006. The actions described in this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.Start Printed Page 1471
FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by the State of Design Authority and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.
Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information provided in the MCAI and related service information.
We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are described in a separate paragraph of the proposed AD. These requirements, if ultimately adopted, will take precedence over the actions copied from the MCAI.
Costs of Compliance
Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 27 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 4 work-hours per product to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $0 per product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $8,640, or $320 per product.
Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. "Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs," describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in "Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements." Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.
Regulatory Findings
We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed regulation:
1. Is not a "significant regulatory action" under Executive Order 12866;
2. Is not a "significant rule" under the DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.Start List of Subjects
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39End List of Subjects
The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:Start Part
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:End Part
2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new AD:
Airbus: Docket No. FAA-2007-26834; Directorate Identifier 2006-NM-235-AD.
Comments Due Date
(a) We must receive comments by February 12, 2007.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
(c) This AD applies to Airbus Model A330 airplanes, all certified models, certificated in any category, all serial numbers up to 755 included.
(d) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) states that one Model A330 operator discovered that the line connection to the discharge head could not be properly secured during engine fire bottle replacement, due to a missing retaining-ring. Inspections revealed that all four discharge-heads line connectors, two per engine, were missing the retaining-ring. It was confirmed later that it was a quality issue. The function of the retaining-ring is to secure a tight connection between the fire-extinguishing line and the discharge head. In absence of the retaining-ring, in case of activation of the fire extinguishing system, the pressure exerted by the agent on the pipe could compromise the tightness of the connection, leading to an incomplete discharge of the extinguishing agent in the fire zone. This situation if not corrected could lead, in the worst case, in combination with an engine fire, to a temporary uncontrolled engine fire which constitutes an unsafe condition. The MCAI requires a one-time detailed visual inspection for the presence of the retaining-ring on the discharge head assembly of engine fire extinguishing system, and repair if necessary.
Actions and Compliance
(e) Unless already done, do the following actions. Within 900 flight hours from the effective date of this AD: On both engine pylons (left hand and right hand), for all four engine fire extinguisher bottles, two per engine pylon, perform a one-time detailed visual inspection for the presence of the retaining ring on the discharge head of the bottles and apply all applicable corrective actions, in accordance with instructions defined in Airbus Service Bulletin A330-26A3037, dated July 26, 2006. Do all applicable corrective actions before further flight. Aircraft on which the four engine fire extinguishing bottles, 2 per engine pylon, have been removed and re-installed at the opportunity of hydrostatic test of engine fire extinguishing as per Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR) task 26.21.00/04, are not concerned by this Airworthiness Directive (AD).
Other FAA AD Provisions
(f) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, Attn: Todd Thompson, Aerospace Engineer, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98057-3356, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if Start Printed Page 1472requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Before using any AMOC approved in accordance with § 39.19 on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify the appropriate principal inspector in the FAA Flight Standards Certificate Holding District Office.
(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority (or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product is airworthy before it is returned to service.
(3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-0056.

Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Heat the egg whites and sugar in the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water until warm to the touch (this will help you get more air into the whites when you whip them). Transfer to a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip until soft peaks form. Add the mint extract and continue whipping just until stiff and glossy. Fold in the chopped unsweetened chocolate.
Scrape the mixture into a pastry bag. Pipe bite-size kisses onto the cookie sheets and bake until the meringues are the color of milky coffee, 25 to 30 minutes. To test, remove one meringue from the oven, let cool one minute, then taste. It should be dry and crisp all the way through. Let cool on the pans.
Melt the semisweet chocolate. Dipping the tines of a fork into the chocolate, drizzle the meringues with melted chocolate. Let sit until chocolate is set, 30 minutes to an hour (or let set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes).
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Hiring Schedule
ISD follows a hiring schedule similar to that of other international schools. In October, the Director polls current staff about their intentions for the coming year. At that point, the Director will post definite and possible openings on teacher recruitment websites such as ISS, Search Associates and Schrole. Interviewing for definite openings may begin immediately.
In December, current teachers must commit to staying or leaving, and at that point, the Director will update job postings on the ISD website and teacher recruitment websites.
The Director will attend hiring fairs in the US and potentially other countries to interview candidates for remaining openings.
The ISD fair schedule for 2017 is:
- ISS Recruitment Job Fairs
- Atlanta Dec. 4-6
- Bangkok Jan. 5-8
- Search Associates Job Fairs
- Bangkok, Jan 8 - 11
- Cambridge, Jan 26 - 29
Increasingly, candidates are hired via remote interviews conducted using Skype video/web cam technology. This has allowed for candidates and recruiters to 'meet' earlier, allowing candidates and recruiters a bit more time to contemplate their decisions. However, on the whole, it has accelerated the hiring process and teachers are increasingly being hired in October, November, and December, prior to the actual hiring fairs.

In its 21st year, the Jersey City Artist Studio Tour – taking place on Oct. 1 and 2 from noon to 6 p.m. each day – offers visitors and residents a solid immersion in the rich, vibrant artist community that fuels the city's cultural scene.
Over two days, visitors can check out music, film, digital arts, photography, painting, sculpture, dance, poetry, and many other art forms.
Individuals can get an inside look at an artist's studio and see their creative process at work, take in a film at Powerhouse Short Film Festival, or see a perspective of work at a gallery like Curious Matter.
Artists front and center
"We have the largest concentration of professional artists in the state of New Jersey," said Greg Brickey of the city's Cultural Affairs Division.
The studio tour has over 500 participating artists at more than 100 venues.
A pullout section with a map of the tour locations is available in the center of this newspaper.
Six months of planning…
Brickey organizes the city's involvement in the studio tour from processing artist applications to finding community space for artists that don't have venues, to organizing curated shows. Planning for the effort begins six months in advance and requires the support of the entire Cultural Affairs Division staff plus volunteers.
"It is definitely the biggest cultural event of the year," said Brickey.
This year the city is throwing the kickoff celebration on Friday night, Sept. 30, at Mana Contemporary, 888 Newark Ave., from 6 to 10 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Brickey, an artist himself, said Pro Arts Jersey City, an organization he previously served as president, has been involved since the tour's fourth year. The group is holding the closing party on Sunday, Oct. 2 with a reception at 6 p.m. and a party from 7 to 9 p.m. at Parlay Studios.
Mix it up on the tour
"It is much more intimate to go to the studios than just going to the big exhibitions," said Brickey. "You can get a direct view on how [artists] put their work together and how they present their work."
On the must-see list for large exhibitions, Mana Contemporary, a new gallery, features open studios, curated exhibitions by Jim Pustorino (Victory Arts Projects), and Michelle Mumoli (Pop Up Art), as well as Mana's major in-house show "Our Own Directions: 40 Years of Photorealism."
Also open for the 2011 Studio Tour is the Mana Contemporary Annex, located at 227 Coles St., presenting curator Tina Maneca's Exquisite Corpse exhibition – which features collaborative art created by more than 70 Jersey City artists.
"We have a lot of fresh energy here now," said Brickey. "I don't think anyone can say that Jersey City is losing art establishments."
The tour is presented by the City of Jersey City division of Cultural Affairs and the arts organization Pro Arts, and is sponsored by entities that include The Hudson Reporter newspaper group.
Free studio tour bus service will shuttle visitors to and from major tour sites. Provided by Pro Arts, a shuttle service bus with tour guides will be available to select venues. Easily accessible, most tour venues are within walking distance of the NY/NJ PATH, the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, or jitney bus services.
A free wheelchair-accessible guided tour is also available to select wheelchair accessible venues over the tour weekend provided by Hudson County Transcend. All persons wishing to take this guided tour must make advanced reservations by Sept. 30, as seats are limited. For details and to reserve a space, please call 201-736-7057.
For transportation schedules and more information, please call the Division of Cultural Affairs at (201) 547-6921 or visit us online at jerseycitynj.gov or proartsjerseycity.org.
The Jersey City Reporter will include a pullout section the weekend of the tour, with more details.
Some additional highlights of the tour:
1st Annual Jersey City Powerhouse Short Film Festival, running Sept. 30 to Oct 2, in tents at First and Provost and Bay and Provost streets. Tickets are $15 general admission and can be purchased at www.jcpowerhousefilmfest.com or at the site beginning one hour before each program.
Parlay Studios, at 161 2nd St., will host the group exhibition from tour sponsor Pro Arts with 27 artists listed as exhibitors.
Curious Matter Gallery, 272 Fifth St. presents "Dividing Light Measuring Darkness," which explores our diverse human responses to benign physical properties of light and darkness.
City Hall, 280 Grove St., hosts a group exhibit of about a dozen artists. In the same venue, on the ground floor, visit Jersey City's version of "The City Love Project." And in the Caucus Room is "Summer Away, Part One," a group exhibition from the Jersey City Arts High School program.
"The Pipe," a film sponsored by the No Gas Pipeline coalition on view at the City Council Chambers. A short film depicting the struggle of a small Irish village to resist Shell Oil's attempt to lay a gas pipeline through their community.
Liberty Science Center, hosting a community exhibition that features Jersey City artists Bojana Coklyat, Stephanie Riggi, Vanessa Holly and more.

DENVER – (Sept. 25) Jessie Ray and Mackenzie Curry of Seattle University women's soccer have been named Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week, respectively, for the period ending Sept. 24. Ray scored her WAC-high seventh goal and Curry tallied 11 saves in net for the Redhawks.
Against Portland on Friday, Ray finished a long ball from Kelsey Vogel to put SU ahead, 1-0, in the first half. The line drive goal was Ray's seventh score of the season-the most in the conference. It marked the sophomore's third goal in two games.
Curry had a marathon week, playing 211:23 in a pair of double overtime outings. In the Portland match, the sophomore recorded four saves, including two vital stops in the final minute of regulation to keep the contest tied.
On Sunday at Gonzaga, Curry made a career-high seven saves. The native of Irvine, California, logged five stops in the first half and kept SU in the game into the second OT.
Ray also won WAC Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 4. Leahi Manthei won the weekly honor the following week. Curry is the first Redhawk to win the league's defensive award this year.
SU is 4-5-1 this season. It heads to Utah Valley on Saturday for its final non-conference game of the regular season.

Newtown's unparalleled social reformerRobert Owen (1771 – 1858)
Robert Owenportrait by William Henry Brooke, 1834oil on canvas, 273 mm x 216 mm in the National Portrait Gallery, London, England
Quite often, Welsh people tend to repeat the old cliché that, as a nation, we have been rather reluctant to venture into business. I cannot understand the source of this assumption, since one can easily think of several people who have been successful in the world of industry and commerce.
This article features one of these entrepreneurs who was also a renowned benefactor, and one who was particularly unique in that he succeeded as a businessman while adhering to his principles as a social reformer and socialist cooperative. This is what makes Robert Owen such an unusual phenomenon as one of the most influential thinkers of his time. He was born in Newtown in Montgomeryshire, and although he spent his working life in England and in Scotland, he chose to return to his roots at the end of his life. Today, the residents of Newtown are more than happy to claim him as one of their own as they celebrate his life.
He was the son of a saddler and ironmonger but when he was ten years old he was sent to Stamford in Lincolnshire to be apprenticed as a draper. He remained there for three years before taking up a position in a fashionable London shop, and then, in 1787, at the age of sixteen, he moved to Manchester to work for a cloth manufacturer.
Robert Owen developed a keen interest in the history of Richard Arkwright (1732 - 1792), an industrialist who lived in Cromford, Derbyshire, and who won the accolade 'Father of the Industrial Revolution' due to his enterprising spirit in business. Arkwright succeeded to revolutionise the way in which machines work by adapting them to operate with water power, and this led to the creation of factories as we know them today. His great achievement was the innovative approach which combined a number of factors, such as using water power, purpose built water frames, employing a semi-skilled workforce and introducing cotton, a fairly new raw material, which facilitated the mass production of yarn and thread.

Richard Arkwright was particularly keen to attract families with a large number of children to settle in Cromford, and he offered employment to the children as well as the parents. Children as young as seven were taken on to work in the mill, although this later changed to ten years old. He employed 1,500 people by the time he retired, and almost a thousand of these were children, equating to two thirds of the workforce. He allowed a week's holiday every year, as long as the workers did not leave the town.
Robert Owen came to admire Arkwright's enterprise greatly, and although he was only nineteen years old himself, he borrowed one hundred pounds to establish a similar business, entering into a joint venture with his friend, John Jones, producing spinning machines. Although the initiative was short-lived, Robert Owen had gained enough experience to secure a position as manager of the largest spinning mill in Manchester, which belonged to Peter Drinkwater. This allowed him to become acquainted with a great number of businessmen who were prominent in the textile industry, and among them was a man named David Dale, owner of the Chorton Twist company at New Lanark, on the River Clyde in Scotland. They became good friends, and indeed Owen eventually married Robert Dale's daughter, Caroline.
The next step was to buy four textile factories in New Lanark from David Dale for the sum of £60,000, and he received financial backing from a number of businessmen in Manchester to enable him to realise the sale. The business grew rapidly, but Robert Owen had an ambitious dream beyond making a profit, as he wanted to create a pleasant environment for his employees. He held strong beliefs in mankind's inherent goodness, but argued that environment often creates bad people. And that's why he decided to prohibit all corporal punishment from schools and factories in New Lanark.
Cartref Robert Owen yn New LanarkLlun: Gordon Brown
Working in Manchester had been a revelation to him because the conditions were so bad there, and factory owners took advantage of children, which made them grow up to become bitter adults.
When Robert Owen arrived in New Lanark, there were two thousand people living there already, and hundreds of houses had been built in the village close to the factory. But the first thing he did was to build a new school, where he insisted that disciplines such as dance, music and natural history were included in the curriculum. In his opinion, education was the key to creating the kind of person he wanted to see in the local society. He opened a shop where workers could buy high quality goods at reasonable prices.
His reputation as a visionary spread all over the world, with people from far and wide visiting the mills to see for themselves what he had achieved, and these visitors included even the Russian Tsar. Robert Owen's socialism differed from the usual idea because the element of social justice featured so strongly, with the emphasis on practical application for the sake of the labourers.
One of Robert Owen's most staunch supporters was the journalist and author George Holyoake (1817-1906), an atheist and steadfast socialist. He was a most interesting character, describing himself as 'a secularist and co-operator'. It's worth noting that he coined the term 'secularism' and was also the first to introduce the term 'jingoism' to the English language. He edited several newspapers during his career, each one taking a secular standpoint. The most famous were probably The Reasoner, and The English Leader.
George Jacob Holyoake
Holyoake had failed to secure a teaching post because of his political and religious beliefs, and he became a social missionary to expound Robert Owen's vision, being based in Gloucester and later in Sheffield. As it happens, he was the last person in the British Isles to be prosecuted for blasphemy following a speech delivered in Cheltenham, and he was subsequently jailed for six months.
George Holyoake was convinced that Robert Owen was the founder of the social revival in the same way as Thomas Paine was the founder of political thought among the people of England. In his view, Owen had managed to prove that society could be improved by creating a just and moral environment. Although several people held similar views, it was Robert Owen who succeeded to turn the dream into reality in a practical manner. He believed passionately in offering fair, favourable conditions to his workers, and his ambition was to develop cities which would be self-sufficient, renowned for their pleasant environment, with machinery doing all the hard, dirty work, while the residents would enjoy themselves pursuing educational and cultural activities. According to Owen, people should be working for themselves, and the fruits of their labour should also belong to them. That was the crux of his vision, and he saw no reason why it should not be practically possible.
Throughout his life, Robert Owen campaigned for better working conditions, and he published a volume entitled A New View of Society (1813) which outlined his dream in great detail. In 1824 he tried to establish a community similar to New Lanark in Indiana, called New Harmony, and although this experiment was not as successful, his ideas had substantial influence. Even today, he is recognised as the leading pioneer in reforming factories, and as the father of the co-operative movement. We could also add that he was the founder of the first nursery schools for the children of factory workers.
It was his astuteness that led to establishing the first co-operative shop in Rochdale in 1844, a venture that blossomed into the co-operative movement which spread all over the world.

Owen wanted to spend his final years in his old childhood haunts, and so in 1858 he settled in Newtown, but sadly he died within a few months. Today, we still remember him as someone who achieved so much to reform conditions in the factories, and to secure a good education for all. It is no wonder that he is often called an Utopian Socialist. There is little doubt that he was a giant among men in his own time, and one wonders whether we as Welsh people really appreciate his achievements.

He was buried in Newtown, but a memorial was erected to honour him in Kensal Green Cemetery in London, adjacent to the famous memorial to the great reformers throughout history.

On Robert Owen's memorial we see the inscription "His life was sanctified by human affection and lofty effort." They are apt words to say the least, and a fitting tribute summarising the life and dream of one whose contribution we can be so proud.

Snakes in a Car
Angie Guerrero was driving on the freeway when she felt something slithering between her legs. When she looked down, she saw a snake:
She says she was so startled she nearly hit the car in the next lane.
Guerrero calmly found a spot to pull over, grabbed her dogs, jumped out and called 911.
It took the CHP about an hour to commandeer the snake, which was hiding in the dashboard.
CBS Los Angeles has the story: Link - Thanks Tiffany!

Our Windows NT 4.0 domain structure includes separate domains for our Exchange servers. Should we carry that design forward when we migrate to Exchange Server 2003?
You shouldn't carry forward any NT 4.0 domain design if you can avoid doing so. The use of resource domains that contained only resources such as Exchange or Microsoft SQL Server servers and not user accounts was common with NT 4.0; however, implementing these types of domains is no longer considered to be a best practice. When you use Active Directory (AD), you can place your Exchange servers in organizational units (OUs). This configuration avoids the need to create separate domains, which in turn restricts the number of people who must be given Domain Admins permissions. By putting your Exchange servers in their own OUs, you can still delegate control over the servers to the Exchange administrators while retaining domainwide control. You can also use Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to apply Exchange-specific policies to the Exchange OUs.

With the help of students, staff and faculty, MICA makes impact on surrounding communities.
Posted 07.24.12 by MICA communications
One of MICA's greatest strengths is the College's ability to make an impact on the surrounding community through the work of students, faculty, and staff. One way to ensure projects continue to make a difference is through grants offered by various MICA offices. The grants provide modest seed funding for materials, supplies, and other resources needed to turn visions into reality. "We have a student body that really understands connection to community," explained Mike Patterson, associate dean of student life and judicial affairs. "They have the skillset to do wonderful things, and they need someone to help open the door to give them a little encouragement and financial support."
Student Affairs Community Service Fund
Each year, the Student Affairs Community Service Fund (CSF) awards $9,000 to 15 to 20 undergraduate and graduate students for co-curricular projects that benefit the community. The grants, which are for a maximum of $500, give students an opportunity to get their feet wet in the world of community arts projects, Patterson has said. Many projects also provide opportunities for additional students to participate, such as the creation of a community mural that takes many hands to complete.
Caitlin Deane '12 (ceramics) won a grant in the spring of 2011 when she and Karine Sarkissian '13 provided a forum for Baltimore middle school students to see the off-campus exhibition Baltimore: Open City. Curated by MICA's Exhibition Development Seminar class, the exhibition looked at Baltimore's history of segregation and how the city can be made more accessible to all residents. When Deane and Sarkissian noticed the city's youth were not getting to the exhibition, they contacted several schools to boost participation. "The grant was to raise money to get these kids to the space," Deane said. The outreach was successful, and the pair was able to get several schools to come in by bus. Deane and Sarkissian also produced a Lesson in a Box, which included trinkets from the exhibition that teachers could use to spark further conversation in the classroom.
"The most rewarding thing was seeing all these students think about their city and knowing they have the power to make a change," Deane said.
Community Arts Partnerships Special Project Fund Grants
Exceptional Community Arts Partnerships (CAP) students in community arts endeavors can receive support through fellowships and grants. Agnès Moon, director of CAP, explained most grants are for $750, but students can be awarded up to $1,000. Seven projects were funded during the 2011-2012 school year.
I think the success of the grants is a great demonstration of our students' self-motivation and ability to manifest their visions of transforming the community," Moon said.
Jessie Leete '12 (illustration) was awarded a grant in spring 2011 for her project, Operation Respect, an after-school anti-bullying program at Mount Royal Elementary/Middle School. A group of 15 to 20 students met each week and worked on art projects around the theme of bullying and ways to stop it. Inspired by the work of comedienne Ellen DeGeneres to stop bullying, Leete said, "everyone should have a positive social experience."
Though the program officially ended at the end of last school year, the school will continue to use art to combat bullying in the future. "A social worker will have older kids teach younger kids after I leave," Leete said
Office of Community Engagement Grants
Grants offered by the Office of Community Engagement are unique in that they are open not only to MICA students, but to faculty, staff, and Community Art Collaborative (AmeriCorps) members as well. Thus far, the office has awarded 14 grants totaling more than $50,000. While the grants can range from $500 to $2,500, most are at the $1,000 level.
"We thought if MICA is a school that's committed to community engagement as a principle, we should take that extra step and provide financial support," said Karen Stults, director of community engagement.
Leah Harper '12 (Social Design) and Remy Peritz '12 (Social Design) were awarded a grant in fall 2011 to provide free professional portraits to families who otherwise might not pursue or be able to afford them. These families live in East Baltimore, the neighborhood near MICA PLACE (Programs Linking Art, Culture, and Education), a center for community arts and social design where students live, work, and learn.
Harper worked with Peritz to rent photo equipment and buy a professional backdrop and printer so families could receive their photographs on site. The grant also provided funds for printing and framing larger photographs for a community-wide gallery show, which Harper said nearly all participants chose to be included in. Students Hodo Lee and Erik Sanchez, along with Men and Families Coordinator
Rodney Williams, took the photographs during a two-day photo shoot in December 2011. Due in part to his contribution to the project, Lee, a Korean international student, went on to win a community engagement scholarship from Joy of Giving Something, Inc.
According to Harper, many families expressed how rare it is for them to have an opportunity to get such nice photos. One mother even told her a portrait of all her children together was the only thing she wanted for Christmas. Since the bulk of the necessary supplies has already been purchased, Harper and Peritz hope other students will continue the project in the coming years.
MICA community members awarded funding during the spring 2012 grant cycle by the Office of Student Affairs, Community Arts Partnerships, and Office of Community Engagement: CAC member Zoe Bachman; Tiffany Black '13 (MA in Community Arts); Carey Chiaia '11 (graphic design); interdisciplinary sculpture faculty member Sarah Doherty; Denise Duarte '13; Deanna Haggag '13; Lee Heinemann '15; CAC member Dominique Hellgeth '10 (ceramics); Noelle Hoffman '15; Anne Kotleba '12 (MA in Community Arts); painting faculty member Kevin Labadie '76 '81 (painting, Hoffberger School of Painting); Assistant Director of CAP Becky LeFevre; environmental design and foundation faculty member Katie O'Meara; Ben Peterson '12 (Social Design); interdisciplinary sculpture faculty member Jann Rosen-Queralt; Julie Sayo '12; Rachael Shannon '13; MFA in Illustration Practice Director Whitney Sherman '71 (photography); Stephanie Tarlton '15 and Megan Armstrong '15; and Vanessa Wallace '14 and Aurelia Javier '14. These grants are generously funded by the President's Fund for Community Service, the France-Merrick Foundation, Charles T. Bauer Foundation, AEGON, and the Genevieve McMillan/ Reba Stewart Foundation.

Detailed Description
180g Audiophile Vinyl Cut from the Original EMI Stereo Analogue Master Tapes at Abbey Road Studios!
This classic early stereo recording (1955-1957) has been cut at EMI's Abbey Road Studios from the original EMI master tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl on original EMI presses at The Vinyl Factory in Hayes, England. It features the original album artwork.
Sir Thomas Beecham's influence on classical music during a span of several decades across the twentieth century was unparalleled.
The Norwegian Poet and Playwright Henrik Ibsen wrote Peer Gynt in 1867, but it was not until 1876 that an abridged version, with incidental music by Edvard Grieg, was produced at the Christiania Theatre. Peer Gynt, fashioned from Norwegian folkfore, is a Poetic Fantasy based on a character of the same name, who appears in the role of a great hunter, and slayer of Trolls in Absjornsen's "Norwegian Fairy Tales".
Edvard Grieg, intensely nationalistic and saturated with Norwegian folk-music, had already made his mark in the musical world with his Piano Concerto in A minor, and his delightful songs and small scale works, for which he had a particular genius. The two orchestral suites made from the Peer Gynt music soon took their place amongst the popular in the world. (Although not everyone knows the fantastic adventures of Peer Gynt, every music lover knows the music written for him.)
The first concert music to be heard by Sir Thomas Beecham was that of Edvard Grieg. He became devoted to this composer's music making his recordings unequalled. This album contains perhaps the most glorious performances of Peer Gynt music ever recorded.
"I like the amplitude and keen, spicy attack of the R.P.O. sound even more on the H.M.V. record."
- Gramophone, 1959
"When we try to show our grandchildren why Beecham was for us so godlike a musician...we shall certainly pull this record from the rack."
- Gramophone, 1959
Cut at Abbey Road Studios from the original stereo analogue master tapes with the Neumann VMS82 lathe fed an analogue pre-cut signal from a specially adapted Studer A80 tape deck with additional advance playback head, making the cut a totally analogue process.

Great TV STand
By Peter Nardooley
from Wheeling, IL
About Me Practical
Best Uses
The beauty of the TV stand exceeded my expectations. Initially, we did have a couple of problems with the unit (slight damage in both shipping and manufacturing). But, they were great in rectifying the problems.We did not find many corner units that would support a 60" TV - and most looked pretty junky. We love our new unit!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

New research shows high-quality photons can be generated from solid-state chips bringing a "quantum internet" a step closer.
Researchers from the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University have implemented a novel technique to generate single photons with tailored properties from solid-state devices that are identical in quality to lasers.
Single photons will form an integral part of distributed quantum networks, or a "quantum internet", as flying units of quantum information called qubits as they carry information quickly and reliably across long distances and can take part in quantum logic operations provided all the photons taking part are identical.
But the quality of photons generated from solid-state qubits can be low due to decoherence mechanisms within the materials meaning each emitted photon is distinct from the others – a major roadblock to developing a quantum photonic network.
But in research published yesterday in the journal Nature Communications the researchers from Cambridge have outlined a solution to the problem.
"Our research has added the concepts of coherent photon shaping and generation to the toolbox of solid-state quantum photonics," said Dr Mete Atature from the Department of Physics, who led the research.
"We are now achieving a high-rate of single photons which are identical in quality to lasers with the further advantage of coherently programmable waveform; a significant paradigm shift to the conventional single photon generation via spontaneous decay."
As their photon source, the team built a semiconductor Schottky diode device containing individually addressable quantum dots, qubits made of semiconductor nanocrystals embedded in a chip that can be controlled electro-optically.
The transitions of quantum dots were used to generate single photons via resonance fluorescence – a technique demonstrated previously by the same team.
Under weak excitation, also known as the Heitler regime, the main contribution to photon generation is through elastic scattering and by operating in this way, photon decoherence can be avoided altogether.
The researchers were able to quantify how similar these photons are to lasers in terms of coherence and waveform and it turned out they were identical.
There are already protocols proposed for quantum computing and communication which rely on this photon generation scheme, and this work can be extended to other single photon sources as well, such as single molecules, colour centres in diamond and nanowires.
"We are at the dawn of quantum-enabled technologies, and quantum computing is one of many thrilling possibilities," added Dr Atature.
"Our results in particular suggest that multiple distant qubits in a distributed quantum network can share a highly coherent and programmable photonic interconnect that is liberated from the detrimental properties of the chips.
"Consequently, the ability to generate quantum entanglement and perform quantum teleportation between distant quantum-dot spin qubits with very high fidelity is now only a matter of time."

Smart Debt Reduction Moves for Beginners
Being in debt may not make you feel smart, but getting out of debt sure can. Jump-start your debt reduction efforts with the following smart money moves:
Survey the Damage
Before you can do anything about your debt, you need to know what you're dealing with. Print a copy of the Debt Load Worksheet, and use it to list all your debts. This includes credit cards, charge cards, mortgages, second mortgages, home equity loans, car loans, personal loans, medical bills and any other debts that you've accrued.
Beside each debt, jot down the associated interest rate and minimum monthly payment. Now, total up all of your entries, and you have a clear picture of your current debt load.
Ask for a Lower Rate
Next up . . . tackling those high interest rates. Look over your list again, and highlight any debts with an interest rate that exceeds 15% – that's too much to pay, if you're serious about getting out of debt.
To bring your rates to a more reasonable level, just dial up customer service, and ask. Most banks will happily lower your interest rate to keep you as a customer—particularly if you have a history of paying on time. If a bank seems reluctant to agree, mention some of the offers that you've received in the mail. Nobody likes to lose business to a competitor.
Transfer Balances
Run into a bank or two that refused to budge on its interest rate? No need to worry; that just means it's time to make good on that threat to take your business elsewhere. Research the transfer offers on your other credit cards to see if moving your debt to one of those could net you the rate that you're looking for. If necessary, branch out your search to include new offers that you receive in the mail.
Note: When transferring a balance, the interest rate is important, but it's not the only detail to consider. Before accepting a transfer offer, find out if there are any fees involved, and if the rate you're being offered is fixed or promotional.
Tackle One Debt at a Time
After several rounds of calls, your debt load should now be at the lowest interest rate possible. Pat yourself on the back for being a smart credit consumer; then, get busy paying off those debts.
Use the Debt Repayment Plan Worksheet to determine which debt you're going to pay first, second, third and so forth. Many people choose to tackle their debts with the highest interest rates first, but if it'll motivate you more to start with the smallest debts, do that.
Once you've settled on an repayment order, make the minimum payment on all of your debts, and apply any additional money to your chosen debt. Continue to do this until the first debt is paid off. Then, move on to the next one.
It may take you a while, but you're sure to feel pretty smart when you reach that debt-free finish line

Player Notes
Toms ranked fifth on the PGA Tour money list in 2005, thanks largely to his win at the World Golf Match Play Championship. However, late in the year he had a health scare. While playing at the 84 Lumber Classic in September of 2005, Toms collapsed and was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a heart condition called Superventricular Tachycardia, a term for a rapid heart rate orginating above the ventricles. In November, Toms had surgery to correct the non-life threatening ailment. He bounced back from the surgery by winning the first full-field PGA Tour event of the 2006 season in Hawaii. Though he's suffered through some back problems this summer, Toms is back on top of his game.

After losing viewers to cable news networks on recent election nights, television's biggest broadcasters are fighting back hard for the midterm contest.
ABC, CBS and PBS will each stream part of their election-night coverage on the Web on Tuesday, and NBC and ABC plan six hours of results lasting into early Wednesday morning. The networks will involve some of the biggest and most popular websites _ Google, Facebook, YouTube and Yahoo! _ in delivering their versions of the news.
Their moves are in marked contrast to recent big political nights, when network producers had to fight for limited time while looking jealously at CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, and their abilities to stay on stories 24 hours a day.
"It's a full-time effort to reach as many people in as many places as possible and still have the big event on television at 9:30," said Jon Banner, executive producer of ABC's "World News" and in charge of ABC's special events coverage.
ABC will air election coverage from 9:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET in prime time, anchored by Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos. From 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., the two anchors will stream a live program on ABC's website, on Facebook and the ABC News iPad application.
A separate ABC Web-only newscast, anchored by John Berman and Claire Shipman, will be streamed on Hulu, mobile platforms and Yahoo! beginning at 7 p.m.
ABC and CBS, in particular, have moved aggressively toward the Web because, unlike NBC, they don't have a cable outlet for their reporting. It's an effort likely to continue.
"We're going to be in more places and more devices two and four years from now than we are this year," Banner said.
CBS' Katie Couric has done frequent webcasts over the past couple of years and that's being incorporated in the network's plans this season. CBS will be on the air live for one hour in prime time, starting at 10 p.m. ET. Couric will anchor a live webcast for an hour after that.
For an hour before the TV network's telecast, CBS' "Washington Unplugged" will give election results and analysis online.
CBS will make some of its material available on YouTube and has a partnership with Google Inc. for access to the company's analysis of the political races.
"The future is here," said Rick Kaplan, "CBS Evening News" executive producer. "You can sit here and say, 'I'll dabble,' but that's silly. There's so much that you can do now."
At some point, viewing habits for events such as election night will become nonlinear, with viewers not distinguishing between what they see on television or computer screens, Kaplan said. The 2008 election was considered a milestone in "two-screen" viewing: Viewers following returns on TV screens but looking up information at the same time online, said Mark Lukasiewicz, head of special events coverage for NBC News.
"There will be a point at which this kind of coverage is offered to people who want it, as opposed to shoving it down the throat of people who are more interested in watching a movie," Kaplan said. Couric will be joined in her coverage by Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer, senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield and congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes.
Election night two years ago was a record day for the Internet and many of its news and social sites, a strong signal to many news executives of its potential.
Even while watching TV, many people used websites for "digging down" into results, checking how national trends affected elections in their hometowns. People went on social networks to talk about the results; Twitter set a record for its messaging that night; and news aggregator Digg had its greatest traffic.
Executives will be watching to see how many people make use of smart phones or tablets like the iPad for following results this year. ABC's iPad app lets viewers play a "what if" interactive game, using their predictions to illustrate how they might affect the balance of power.
NBC comes on the air for two hours, starting at 9 p.m. ET, for a broadcast anchored by Brian Williams. His predecessor as anchor, Tom Brokaw, and "Meet the Press" moderator David Gregory, will join him. After a local news break, the NBC News team will be on the air for four hours after that.
"We're up late because that's when the story is going to fully unfold," Lukasiewicz said.
NBC's live election coverage will be embedded on Twitter, allowing computer owners to watch it at home or send copies of videos to their friends online.
The network will also be active on social networks, hosting live chat sessions on its website and asking viewers to send in pictures of their polling places. The latter can be used to make a mosaic of the country on Election Day, and help journalists spot problems that may produce stories.
If the Super Bowl is a chance for advertisers to show off their creativity, election night is seen by networks as a place to display whiz-bang technology. NBC is using iPads, touch screens and virtual reality technology to tell its story. CNN, which offered a hologram two years ago as part of its coverage, will quadruple the size of the "data wall" that John King pioneered and display exit polling data with three-dimensional graphics.
PBS will use the Web, too, simulcasting its one-hour television special with Jim Lehrer on the Web at 11 p.m. Lehrer will do a one-hour webcast before going on television. On its website, PBS said it was doing a "social media stream," highlighting comments made by people on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.
Fox News Channel and MSNBC are also planning coverage sure to please the ideological camps that both networks attract.
The experiments going on with the broadcast networks, however, are important moments in determining the future of their election night telecasts and for the operations of their news divisions as a whole.

Beijing's Central Conservatory of Music, School of Piano Becomes All-Steinway
Dec 14, 2010, 12:00 EST
LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., Dec. 14, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Steinway & Sons has announced the addition of the Central Conservatory of Music, School of Piano, located in Beijing, China, to its illustrious list of All-Steinway Schools. The world-renowned conservatory owns 127 Steinway grand pianos and 41 Boston grand pianos designed by Steinway & Sons. This includes instruments for performance spaces, teaching studios, classrooms and practice facilities.
On October 25, Wang Cizhao, President of the Central Conservatory of Music, received a commemorative plaque from Werner Husmann, Vice-President of Steinway & Sons Hamburg, as they joined students and faculty who gathered to witness an important moment in the school's history. The All-Steinway designation was made in conjunction with the Central Conservatory of Music's 70th anniversary celebration in 2010.
"Steinway & Sons is deeply honored that our instruments are the exclusive choice of the Central Conservatory of Music, School of Piano in Beijing," said Thomas Kurrer, President of Steinway & Sons Worldwide. "We are very proud to partner with this distinguished and celebrated institution."
"As a world-renowned conservatory, it is our responsibility to provide first-class, reliable instruments for our students and faculty to ensure that our teaching activities are at the very highest level and to provide an environment where more young talents can be cultivated at our conservatory," said Wang Cizhao, President of the Central Conservatory of Music. "It is a great honor that our School of Piano has become an All-Steinway School."
Among the Central Conservatory of Music's most prestigious alumni are Lang Lang and Yuja Wang, who share a unique bond with another All-Steinway School, The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, which has been an All-Steinway School since its founding in 1924. Both Chinese pianists studied at The Curtis Institute with Steinway Artist Gary Graffman.
About Steinway & Sons
Since 1853, Steinway pianos have set an uncompromising standard for sound, touch, beauty, and investment value. Steinway remains the choice of 9 out of 10 concert artists, and it is the preferred piano of countless musicians, professional and amateur, throughout the world.

DELRAY BEACH — A proposal to halt a three-year battle between the city and Highland Beach over sewage rates must undergo further revision, the City Council ruled Tuesday.
``This document is not going to provide us with a solution at all,`` City Councilman Malcolm Bird said of a new report by Tampa-based Greeley and Hansen Engineers, Inc.
The rate guidelines in the report are aimed at resolving a dispute between neighboring municipalities that began in April 1982, when Highland Beach refused to pay a 400 percent sewage rate increase imposed by Delray Beach.
The city said those rates were to cover the cost of Delray Beach pumping sewage from Highland Beach to the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Plant on Congress Avenue.
The new rates, proposed by the consultants, would roughly double the monthly sewage rate paid the city by Highland Beach.
The town also would pay Delray Beach $320,000 in monthly charges accumulated since Highland Beach refused to pay the 1982 increase.
``We`re not getting all that we want, and Highland Beach is not getting all they want,`` said City Councilman Art Jackel, who supported accepting the proposed guidelines.
Bird, however, said the guidelines should be revised by City Attorney Herb Thiele, and then submitted to Highland Beach Town Commissioners for review.
``It may resolve a long-standing difference of opinion,`` Bird said of the impasse. ``But it`s not the basis for the future.``

SPARTA — Kentucky Speedway left Carmageddon in the dust Saturday.
A new $11 million traffic strategy gave fans at Saturday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Quaker State 400 a much smoother experience compared to last year's inaugural race.
The infrastructure improvements included widening roads near the track and adding 220 acres of gravel-covered parking lots, a pedestrian tunnel and a shuttle system.
Fans arrived early and without delay, many saying they appreciated the organization.
Last year, Roger and Valerie Pitts left their home in Paris around 11 a.m. and sat in standstill traffic for five hours, which they blamed on a small and overwhelmed parking staff.
"There was no one directing traffic last year, and the policemen were just driving around," Valerie said. "They weren't doing anything."
This year, however, the couple said they drove right into one of the newly graveled parking lots without stopping once. They were shocked, they said, to be standing in the parking lot by 12:30.
"This year, you've got people telling you where to go and what to do," she said.
Amanda Schwettman of Cincinnati was one of the 300 parking attendants hired from Veteran Security Parking as part of this year's parking plan. As she motioned cars into one of the lots, she gave friendly but direct instructions to keep order among the hundreds of tents.
"If you guys are tailgating, pick up your mess," Schwettman said. "That's all I ask."
Along with the attendants, a large contingent of state troopers directed cars into perfect rows, one at a time. One driver who did not want to follow the plan was quickly stopped and redirected.
Kentucky State Police spokesman Brad Arterburn sent email and radio updates on the traffic flow every half-hour and reported no major delays or backups throughout the day. From 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., the hour during which Arterburn expected the bulk of congestion, five lanes of Ky. 35 steadily handled all incoming race traffic from Interstate 71.
Tom Haggin, 68, of Nicholasville, who missed the race last year because of traffic woes, decided to give the race another chance, although he suspects many were too discouraged to do the same.
"Everyone wanted to see the inaugural race, and it left a bad taste in their mouth with some of the basics being ignored," he said.
The race, which sold out its 107,000 capacity last year, had thousands of empty seats this year. However, Speedway General Manager Mark Simendinger said he was optimistic about ticket sales and was simply glad to see the long-awaited plan unfold.
"I'm not surprised — traffic flowed like we hoped and expected," Simendinger said. "The team executed it really well. I'm proud of them."

French Door Shutters
So, in using these photos for their intended purpose, I have gained some good ideas. Here's one of them:

Artie I am amazed that you were considering making the shutters at all!ReplyDelete
I think the last option is a good one!
Come see me soon!

Lots of great ideas. The guy who built my house built the shutters and they look pretty good, but he didn't use hinges (unfortunately). (I am the 3rd owner of the house, so I didn't have a say in it.) You can take a look at them here, if you'd like. My house is the first picture in the post. http://www.ivyclad.com/2012/04/for-love-of-ivy.htmlReplyDelete
I love the look of the weathered doors.ReplyDelete
Totally agree with Karen. Why make them if you feel the doors will suffice. Only drawback is painting or staining them as it can be time consuming, but will be well worth the effort. For hardware you may want to take a peek at Lee Valley Tools website. You may find something there that appeals to you. Warm hugs -Brenda-ReplyDelete

Oh please! Just make sure they are wide enough to work and cover the doors!!! Or have a pair on each side!ReplyDelete
No shutters are better than fake skinny "falsies"!!
Our carpenter made ours and left them in the rain!!
http://tginteriors.blogspot.com (ist pic of guest house)
they are on hinges and they cover the windows and doors!
Great inspiration pics....I too just adore shutters :o) Can't wait to see what you come up with!ReplyDelete
You can check around on CL for ones that are used and get a set or two to try out. Recently on the local CL here there was about 6 sets.ReplyDelete
If new:
use Penetrol (product usually used for thinning paint for sprayers) directly on the wood as a preservative, this will help the joints and parts to stay together through moisture swelling and shrinking out of doors.
Hit the doors in random areas to give dents and damage. You can also sand the edges so they are not so square and new looking.
Paint with primer like kiltz or similar (is more translucent than paint and seals too). Do it with a dry brush (wiping off the excess paint on the rim of the can) and do not apply all over, leave bare areas.
You can apply Vaseline first in some areas you do not want paint to stick, and it will leave bare areas.
I like the idea of using two shutters hinged on each side sort of half open and more three dimensional.
What a GREAT project to do the French doors! I can't wait to see how they come out!
Amazing post!!!ReplyDelete
I love visiting your gorgeous blog! You never disappoint us!
Thank you for posting all these beautiful articles!
I'm not so sure but I got a feeling that we can also use these shutters with other combination as well. French doors shutters are best I guess!ReplyDelete
The photos above simply show that French doors are suitable to any style of a house. Whether you have a contemporary or a country house, you can use French doors to beautify your home. However, if you want to add a more dramatic appeal to them, you should consider putting shutters. These two are a really great combination. I noticed it with the beautiful European houses I see on the magazines.ReplyDelete

Thanks for the information. It would be nice to have Quality wooden doors that would surely last and durable. Makes your money worth it.ReplyDelete

Shutters can become really expensive especially if you have huge windows in your house. I know a shop that sells exterior wood shutters in our area and they even helped me with the budget and design. Shutters can definitely add elegance and improve the architecture of any structure.ReplyDelete
With shutters, windows can have more protection against the rain and direct sunlight. The person inside can enjoy more priceReplyDelete
