Tips for Week of September 2, 2004


THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEK:

  • The Huntsville Times is switching to delivering the paper in the mornings starting September 13. 

  • Channel 19 announces a new weather system called ARMOR which stands for Advanced Radar for Meteorological and Operational Research. This project is a partnership between WHNT, the University of Alabama in Huntsville, the National Weather Service, NASA, and the NSSTC. NewsChannel 19 is the first TV station in the world to have this kind of technology. 

  • Sci-Quest will change their admission rates effective September 7, 2004. Super Science Pass will be $11.75 for adults & $10.75 for children; General Admission: Adults, $7; Children $6. For more information, call Sci-Quest at 837-0606. 

  • The entry deadline for the October 2nd Miss Victory Halloween Preliminary Pageant--for infant girls through 14 and older-- is September 27th. There will be two more pageants this year in the Huntsville/Madison area, including one for "Woman of the Year"--any size, any age, any marital status. 

  • A new cookbook called Recipes from the Heart of Gurley has been published by the Civic Group Citizens for a Better Gurley as a Fundraiser. The book includes 650 recipes and costs $15 plus $2.50 for postage & handling.
