When one is blind one learns to use Braille to read. When one cannot walk, a wheelchair gives mobility. Sign language allows a mute person to speak and ocular implants assist in hearing when one is deaf. These are all compensatory strategies that help a person function despite his disability. But compensatory strategies are not just for physical problems. Understanding our psychological weaknesses and setting up our lives to ensure that we are not tempted to repeat our past mistakes, is as necessary as any aid to the disabled.
Well spouses have often discovered that their friends and relatives, despite their closeness to the situation, often don't realize the tremendous emotional impact living with chronic illness has on the family. With the best intentions, suggestions, ideas and criticism are offered, based on the non-experience of those with healthy families. Even when the good intentioned get a taste of the difficulties, it is sometimes not enough for them to then identify and understand what the family of the chronically ill must face on a constant basis.
Over the past two weeks I have shared letters from a therapist and a well spouse. Both of the letters gave personal insights into the process of losing hope, how we react when that happens and some ways of coping when test scores, diagnosis and just simple repetitive behavior indicate that change for the better is impossible.
Dear Ann,
I've read your last few articles on psycho-neurological testing (Oct.8-22) with interest. As a therapist who has counseled couples dealing with chronic illness, I'd like to give you another perspective.
Dear Ann,
Your articles on the Neuro-Psychological Testing were right on (October 8-22). My husband underwent testing twice and your articles explained it things exactly the way they were. Besides the test, we also tried therapy.
Very often when we can't face our big hurts or big loses we focus on the little ones. We can discuss those. We can cry over the small loses, be angry at the smaller hurts even though it may look trite and sound ridiculous to others.
Over the last two weeks we have been discussing one way in which well spouses can determine whether behavior displayed by their ill partners is caused by their illness or is a way they have chosen to act. We have focused on Psycho-Neurological testing, what it can tell us, as well as its pros and cons.
Last week I discussed a question that haunts many well spouses: not knowing if the difficult and often inappropriate behavior frequently displayed by their partners are caused by the disease and therefore not-controllable, or if the behavior is a choice the spouse makes and can therefore be changed. This doubt can be the source of much frustration and many marital disagreements. One way of alleviating this doubt is by having a psycho- neurological work up done. But that path is not so simple.

Exhibit A (for Autumn)
The exhibit is filled with magic moments – timeless pieces of history which tell the story of baseball's postseason and the World Series.
Curt Schilling's bloody sock is there, as is Willie Mays' glove. Around every corner in the Hall of Fame's Autumn Glory exhibit, greatness awaits.
On the far wall, a video plays – describing the heroes of each World Series. David Freese's epic moments of a month ago are already edited in. And just a few feet away hangs Freese's jersey, the one ripped off his back by his jubilant Cardinals' teammates following his walk-off Game 6 home run.
History is at home in Cooperstown.
The newest version of Autumn Glory – "The Cardinals Comeback" – opened to the public for the first time on Thursday as Museum visitors got the chance to experience the 2011 World Series first-hand.
Following the Cardinals' World Series-clinching win on Oct. 28, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum acquired nearly a dozen artifacts from the both the Cardinals and the Texas Rangers. Artifacts donated by the Cardinals and featured in the exhibit from the 107th World Series include:
- Jersey worn by Freese and the bat he used to hit his game-winning home run in Game 6.
- Albert Pujols' spikes from Game 3 when the Cardinals' slugger tied a record with three home runs.
- Chris Carpenter's Game 7 game-worn home jersey.
- The bat used by Allen Craig to hit his Game 7 home run that broke a 2-2 tie.
- A bat used by Lance Berkman in Game 7.
- Cap worn by Cardinals manager Tony La Russa in his last managerial performance before his retirement.
- Cap worn by Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan, to represent a record number of postseason pitching changes.
- Cap worn by Carpenter after his 1-0 shutout over the Phillies in Game 5 of the NLDS.
Additional items featured in the exhibit to commemorate the Cardinals title include:
- Press Pins from the Cardinals and Rangers
- Front pages from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch detailing the Cardinals Comeback
- Rally Squirrel hand towel giveaway
In addition to these treasures, the exhibit also features artifacts from the American League champions Rangers from the 2011 postseason, including:
- Jersey worn by Adrian Beltre when he hit three home runs against the Rays in Game 4 of the ALDS.
- Batting gloves used by Nelson Cruz during Game 2 of the ALCS when he hit the first walk-off grand slam in postseason history.
The 2011 World Series exhibit in Autumn Glory will be on display through the 2012 Major League Baseball postseason. Entrance to the Autumn Glory exhibit is included with Museum admission.
The World Series is history, but the memories remain alive in Cooperstown.

Morning Briefing: 10 Things You Should Know
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were pointing to a higher start for Wall Street Friday ahead of the January jobs report.
European stocks were rising while Asian shares ended the trading session mixed. Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 0.5% as the yen fell against the dollar.
The economic calendar in the U.S. Friday includes the nonfarm payrolls report for January at 8:30 am. EST.
Payrolls are expected by economists to have risen by 160,000 last month after rising 155,000 in December, according to a Reuters survey. The unemployment rate is expected to have remained at 7.8% for a third straight month, Reuters said. The University of Michigan final January consumer sentiment index is scheduled for release at 9:55 a.m. The Commerce Department will release construction spending data for December at 10 a.m.U.S. stocks on Thursday posted losses as doubts about the strength of the U.S. economy weighed on the minds of investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 50 points, or 0.4%, to 13,861. Despite the decline Thursday, the Dow had its best January since 1994 by finishing 5.8% higher for the month. The S&P 500 declined down 4 points, or 0.3%, to 1,498. The Nasdaq lost 0.18 of a point to finish at 3,142.
Exxon Mobil (XOM - Get Report), the world's biggest oil company, is expected by analysts Friday to report fourth-quarter earnings of $2 a share on revenue of $117.25 billion. Wall Street analysts expect Chevron (CVX - Get Report) to post fourth-quarter earnings of $3.04 a share on revenue of $68.64 billion.
Dell (DELL - Get Report), the PC maker, is close to an agreement to sell itself to a buyout group led by founder and CEO Michael Dell and private-equity firm Silver Lake Partners, Reuters reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. A deal could possibly be announced as soon as Monday, Reuters reported.
Union leaders representing about 23,000 engineers at Boeing voted Thursday to put a strike authorization question on a ballot that will go to members next week, Reuters reported.
Drugmaker Merck (MRK - Get Report) is expected by analysts to post earnings of 81 cents a share in the fourth quarter on revenue of $11.48 billion.
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit Thursday to stop Budweiser maker Anheuser-Busch InBev's (BUD) proposed $20.1 billion purchase of Grupo Modelo, which owns Corona. The government said the deal could lead to higher beer prices in the U.S. because it would substantially reduce competition.

Thread: Paris Hilton
June 26th, 2005, 08:12 AM #1
Paris Hilton
Will someone please tell me what I am missing here? How disjointed have we become? You can go to the department store and buy your 12 year old daughter perfume by Paris Hilton, you can turn on the TV and your kids can learn how to be a Hilton, then you can go to the computer and play them her porno video! Talk about lying to oneself!! What is wrong with this picture?
June 26th, 2005, 08:49 AM #2
Can't help you Gary, I don't get it either. I have NO idea why this girl is so famous. What does she have to offer? (Besides the obvious looseness of character). It truly is disgusting that she's making so much money off of being "a stupid spoiled wh_re". Did you see that episode of South Park where all the little girls decide to be just like Paris Hilton, because it's cool to be a "stupid spoiled wh_re" now? It's pretty funny, but sad too. Our society is truly troubled when we put people like her on a pedestal.

Well, I believe that if we just pretend that she doesn't exsist then MAYBE she will disappear! Hopefully! Hilton seems to be the epidemic of our culture. We can only look at the glittery stuff like raccoons. FOX "News" and other news outlets give us the insipid "Runaway Bride" or other non-news to keep us entertained and I see Hilton as that...entertainment without thought.
We seem to be slowly, but surely, slipping down that slope of passive living. Where we'd rather, it seems, to be entertained or mesmerized than actually try to think, read and learn.
June 26th, 2005, 12:48 PM #4
"Passive living..." That's well put. Most people think so little for themselves, but instead they go along with whatever they're told is cool at the moment. It's so much easier to do that, to never have to go against the flow.
I think it all started with that TV show a few years back, "Who Wants to Marry A Millionaire." I thought it was disgusting in many ways. Lots of people thought it was disgusting, including members of my family. But then everyone (not me though) watched it anyway, out of curiousity I guess. They found it fascinating in some way. Then another reality tv show came out, and another, and soon everyone forgot what it was that had bothered them about those shows to begin with. My family, who bemoaned "Who Wants to Marry A Millionaire" were virtually glued to their television set throughout the first "Bachelor" series. Their principles changed so quickly when they realized that "everyone else is doing it".
I don't really understand the psychology here because I'm rather stubborn myself--it takes a lot to make me change my mind about something. But I can see that many people have become gradually more tolerant of lots of stuff over the past few years. Maybe because most people don't want to be left out of the general trend? But the thing is that everyone is just following other people that are following them...I don't know if I'm making any sense here, but basically I just want to say that it's pathetic how little most people actually think for themselves. And it's sad that the result of this is everyone thinking Paris Hilton must be really something if she's on TV and has her own perfume.
It's unsettling to wonder what's coming next for our society.

Charles II's court set a fashion for anything scientific being a suitable pasttime for a "gentleman"
The regency newspapers went on about the Regent and his affairs and folks copied his "fashion" in clothes and buildings.
With Victoria a whole generation went Scottish!
Heck Edward VII was the "Playboy Prince" who's every action the press hung on.
And don't get me started on Diana P of W,
Paris Hilton is just a variation on a theme, perhaps with the media being more intrusive into your personal space we notice it more.
As for reality TV, I roared with laughter at the spoof on it on Dr Who a couble of weeks ago... Get evicted from the big brother house and be turned into food for tin cans (Daleks)
June 27th, 2005, 08:37 AM #6
But I think there is a difference here. Paris Hilton should not be a role model. She is an example of a society that has lost sight of all sense of morality. The gap between reality and fantasy, dreaming of being a celebrity etc, is one thing. But how do parents forget that this girl has nothing positive to offer their children? Do they really want their kids to make sex videos with their boyfriends/girlfriends?
Every type of entertainment provides an escape of one sort or another. That's what entertainment is all about. But some types are healthier than others. The fascination with celebrity is nothing new, as some of you pointed out already, but the choice of celebrity is a commentary on the society that is embracing them. What does is say about us that Paris Hilton is high on the 'embrace' list?

I think that we are living in an age of extremes be it political or entertainment-wise. The mundane just doesn't seem to excite us much. Look at the growing trend in comic book movies and the like, it seems that we're having more and more power fantasies put on screen, both big and small.
I see "reality" shows and celebes like Paris and Britney Spears as a polarization of our society. These phenomon have little talent, but HUGE PR and little thought behind them. Even elections are getting more about character assassination than issues and we , the voter, are just as passive and apathetic in that arena as we are in who we praise.
I think that once we find someone or thing or the combination that we'll snap out of it...maybe. Until then, I'll keep my nose buried in a book or watch something with substance.
June 27th, 2005, 12:11 PM #8
..and worst of all Paris Hilton is nasty and skanky looking.
June 27th, 2005, 12:17 PM #9
She really is. And she has no manners. I have had the unfortunate occasion of being in the same room with her. So who makes these decisions? Don't they have any concern whatsoever for the total idiocy of it all? Paris Hilton, best known for her money, her stupidity, her trampiness, is gracing the covers of main stream fashion magazines. No pride at all.
June 27th, 2005, 01:23 PM #10Do they really want their kids to make sex videos with their boyfriends/girlfriends?
People decided they could make money off of her, just like the many other teen idols out there, and that is sufficient to motivate them to do it. I think it is related to many problems in out society, one of which is pandering to the 18 yo's because they are most easily separated from their money.
June 27th, 2005, 01:25 PM #11
I must say the Paris Hilton Phenomenon baffles me. To me it's something along the lines of "people with money get more money because they're known for having money". *Shrugs*
As to sex appeal and moral messages: I'm infinitely more baffled by the Pamala Anderson phenomenon. With Paris Hilton, I can see the attraction if I try (despite finding her voice infinitely grating). But with Pamala Anderson... the only time I can see how she can be attractive is when they show her boozed up and depressed; probably because then it's harder to hide the person.
Paris Hilton my be a spoilt brat (and my Paris Hilton Attention Span isn't long enough to actually even confirm that), but once you accept that, what's the big deal? I guess it's where you place the accents. I, for one, find breast augmentation and botox (sp?) lips as an expression of attractiveness infinitely more worrying than sex videos or a lack of manners.
June 27th, 2005, 01:32 PM #12Originally Posted by Prunesquallor
That's a bit harsh, that statement, I feel.
June 27th, 2005, 02:19 PM #13
So what's going on here? Paris and Pamela are mainstream personalities now. Years ago, that would have been totally impossible. The only excuse for that kind of promiscuousness was immense talent, like Janis Joplin and Bette Middler during the 70's. And back then, even though they had tremendous talent, they were left wing, fringe artists who appealed to a newly liberated segment of the world's youth. They are popular because of their promiscuousness and lack of talent. It's a frightening mentality and you certainly can't blame them.
The tolerance level today has risen so high, and it's not tolerance for values like freedom of choice and religious freedom, and definitely not for women's rights or gay rights. It's tolerance for behaviour that is dumb, unproductive, lewd and not even sexy. It's just trash. Two current network television stars are also internet porn stars. Maybe it's Bill Clinton's fault. I have friends who have young daughters - 12, 13 14 - and they don't consider oral sex, sex. They really don't. In the middle school in the area that I live, there was a dollar bill club. Figure out what you could get for a dollar!
June 27th, 2005, 06:04 PM #14
Dawn, if your point was that she would be a different person if she had grown up in a different environment, I agree.
My point was that if she - as she is now - was in the same position as most people in the world, having to take care of herself - holding an ordinary job, paying bills, etc - she could not do it. I doubt you watched any of her reality TV show, but I did. She can't do basic addition. She can't calculate correct change. I could go on. I don't think she actually thinks about much, because I don't think she has had to. And I think that the old cliche "use it or lose it" applies.
Gary, I don't think there is a simple answer to your question. I have typed up and deleted a lot of words here. Some random thoughts:
*there are a lot of people making money off of this stuff.
merchants of cool
* the people who work to put the brakes on the sort of thing you discuss all too often tie this into a larger religious and moral agenda, which diminishes the appeal of this work to many of us. I would support a candidate who wanted to impose some real limits on prime time tv, but I would be much less inclined to do so if that candidate was doing this as part of a larger religious agenda.
*I think our puritanical heritage is coming back to bite us in the posterior. The best way to get attention for a product is to flash a bit of skin. The appropriate reponse to janet jackson's nipple incident was, IMO, "poor thing, look what she needs to do to get attention". Instead, it dominates the news and the promoters get the publicity the wanted.
*Some of the silly things (Covering the statue of justice, for example) that happen trivialize the real problem, making it easier for teens or whoever to frame things as a choice between silly rules made up by someone else or rules I choose for myself. Of course, they are not really deciding for themselves (see above, the merchants of cool)
sorry if this is rambling or incoherent
June 27th, 2005, 06:20 PM #15
It's neither rambling nor inchoerent.
I agree with much of what you just said. I am not a proponent of censorship of any kind. I am just constantly amazed at the abyssmal level of concern that so many people have with regard to their own choices. If this is what the public seems to want, then capitalism will provide it and someone will make money. It's the fact that people want this, want to see her, that I don't understand. And what makes me more concerned is that this blindness and lack of integrity is becomming a part of society. When what was formerly considered to be unacceptable behaviour becomes more than acceptable, becomes something to aspire to, and parents encourage it without speaking out, I worry about the future.
We are just becomming inured to things that repelled us in the past. I don't think that it's a question of morality as much as it is a matter of taste. Where is art?

Flowmaster Products
A tightly-coupled, general purpose 1D-3D CFD simulation software combination helps users characterize the more complex components of the system in 3D and insert those component characteristics into the 1D system-level models for simulation. It enables further speed up of the design process while ensuring accurate upfront systems analysis based on fluid flow and heat transfer data by using 3D simulation at the component level.
The result is higher quality, more competitive products to market faster. This approach minimizes the computational resources and execution times at the system level. Consistent with the Mentor® strategy of virtual prototyping analysis early and throughout the design process, this technology breakthrough enables systems engineers to examine more variables across a wider range of design scenarios to quickly achieve optimal system and component design.
Featured Resources
"Mentor is delivering a very innovative solution for fluid and thermal system simulation. If the system performance is of primary interest, Mentor's 1D-3D combination is a superior solution."
Dr. Keith Meintjes, CIMdata
Systems Engineering Benefits
For designing complex systems, 3D CFD would be extremely accurate but it can be computationally expensive depending on the size of the models used. Therefore, 1D CFD is used, which is faster, but it may require significant amounts of data to characterize the components accurately. To facilitate 1D CFD systems analysis, data is needed to describe the component and until now, the process to achieve a high level of design accuracy has been tedious and based on assumptions.
Component Manufacturing Benefits
- Delivers higher accuracy results than standalone 1D CFD.
- Upfront and concurrent design of equipment from component to system level for fluid flow and heat transfer.
- Allows for easy reuse of the characterized component.
- Virtual prototyping to reduce cost and lead time.
- Deploy simulation throughout your lifecycle to planned maintenance, refit, retrofit or expansion.
- Operates on standard engineering hardware.
Workflow Optimization
- Allows for easy reuse of the characterized component.
- Provides meaningful results faster and allows more "what-if" scenarios to be run.
- Relieves time pressures when a design must be finished quickly.
- Allows better management and problem-solving for complex system designs.
- Brings a more complete solution to the hands of systems engineers.
- Works natively in FloEFD and Flowmaster.

Results tagged ' NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament '
Hoop madness comes to Cooperstown
By Steve Light
Spring training is in full swing, but the eyes of the sports world this week are fixed on the college basketball tournaments. While we all wait for the Cinderella team that will make our brackets fall to pieces, let's not forget that many of baseball's brightest stars have stepped on the court in college, and even in the NBA.
The most famous crossover player – Michael Jordan – perhaps had a better handle on the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament than he did the curve ball. The former North Carolina star hit the game winning shot in the championship game against Georgetown in 1982, but in his one season with the Double-A Birmingham Barons Jordan hit .202 with three home runs, 51 RBIs and 30 stolen bases.
Yet MJ wasn't the only basketball star to take the field. Another basketball Hall of Famer, Dave DeBusschere, pitched for the Chicago White Sox in 1962 and 1963, compiling a 3-4 record with a 2.90 ERA over 36 games. And when former Celtic, Trail Blazer, and Phoenix Sun Danny Ainge led his BYU team to the regional finals in 1981, he had already made it to the majors. Drafted in 1977 by the Toronto Blue Jays, Ainge made his big league debut on May 21, 1979. In three seasons with the Jays, Ainge batted .220 with two home runs, 37 RBI, and 12 stolen bases. Perhaps spurred on by his tournament success – his coast-to-coast drive with seven seconds left sunk second seeded Notre Dame in the regional semifinals – Ainge quit baseball following the 1981 season and focused on his basketball career.
On the flip side, many baseball stars have found success on the basketball court as well. Point guard Kenny Lofton helped the Arizona Wildcats make it to the Final Four in the 1988 tournament before being drafted by the Houston Astros that summer. Even Hall of Famers have gotten in on the act, Robin Roberts starred on the court for the Michigan State Spartans, while Tony Gwynn was San Diego State's floor general in his college career. Gwynn still holds school records for assists in a single season and assists in a career. He was even drafted by the San Diego Clippers of the NBA, but luckily for us, chose baseball instead.
Six-foot-six Hall of Famer Dave Winfield was a standout baseball and basketball player for the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Winfield and the Gophers made it to the tournament in 1972 and even earned a first round bye. The Gophers lost their first game in the Midwest Region to eventual national-runner up Florida Sate, 70 – 56, with Winfield playing all 40 minutes and chipping in eight points and eight rebounds. In the regional third-place game, the Gophers bounced back to beat Marquette 77 – 72, with Winfield compiling 16 points and nine rebounds. Scouts so highly rated Winfield's athletic ability that he was not only drafted by the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA and the Utah Stars of the ABA, but also his hometown Minnesota Vikings of the NFL. He had not even played college football.
As the regional semifinals and finals come to nearby Syracuse March 25 and 27, the Hall of Fame will celebrate the connections between baseball and basketball on Friday, March 26 with a full day of programs, including special trivia contests that test our visitor's knowledge of baseball and the NCAA tournament.

Peterson Residence, Chevy Chase, Md.
Maxwell MacKenzie
An extensive remodel sharpens the focus of this once unassuming Colonial, yet retains visual ties to its neighbors.
The building opens up—both stylistically and literally—to a neatly tailored backyard with an elegant storage shed.
As remodeling candidates, some houses offer architects more to work with than others. This one? Not so much. "It was the prototypical suburban brick house," says architect Robert M. Gurney, who nevertheless incorporated the original shell in an expanded building that maintains friendly relations with its neighbors while far transcending its humble 20th-century roots.
"We really didn't want to disrupt the rhythm of the street," says Gurney, who with project designer Claire L. Andreas tightened up the Monopoly-piece form of the original house, stretching its first-floor windows from floor to ceiling and wrapping the existing garage wing in patinaed copper. A lean steel-framed front porch ties the two elements, which conceal a substantial addition at the rear. Radically revamped floor plans erase every hint of interior clutter, while modernist detailing applies natural materials in broad, clean strokes. To expand the sense of vertical space, "everything goes to the ceiling," Gurney says—windows, doors, cabinets, even the custom return air grills. "We thought about every inch of this house."
Our judges deemed the result "a pretty dramatic transformation." They were equally taken with the site plan—a tidy composition that culminates in an abstractly simple garden shed with what one declared "the most beautiful stonework we've seen all day."

PETA Joins Host of Animal Protection Charities Calling on Prime Minister to Ban Wild Animals in Circuses
PETA, alongside the majority of UK animal protection organisations, has signed a joint letter to David Cameron calling for him to reverse his decision not to ban wild animals in circuses.
The letter, which can be read in full here, was sent to Mr Cameron in advance of a debate in Parliament scheduled for next Wednesday. The debate has been secured by Labour MP Rob Flello, and MPs from all parties will be in attendance to put pressure on the government to reverse the decision not to implement a ban.

GOP senator backs tax rate hike on wealthy
(CNN) -- In a significant development in the fiscal cliff standoff, Republican Sen. Tom Coburn, a leading deficit hawk, said Wednesday he would support higher tax rates on wealthier Americans as part of a broader deal with President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats to avoid the crisis.
"I know we have to raise revenue," the senator from Oklahoma told MSNBC. "I don't really care which way we do it. Actually, I would rather see rates go up than do it the other way, because it gives us a greater chance to reform the tax code and broaden the base in the future."
Coburn, who served on the Simpson-Bowles fiscal commission and participated in the Gang of Six deficit talks, was one of the first Republicans a couple of years to embrace raising revenue to reduce the deficit. At that time, he wanted to do it through reforming the tax code by eliminating loopholes and deductions that he argued favored the rich and powerful. But now he appears to be the first GOP senator to say publicly he would back increasing the tax rates on the wealthy, as long as that increase is coupled with spending cuts and entitlement reforms.
Coburn thinks its better to raise rates now, which will generate the money needed to get beyond the fiscal cliff and then negotiate broad reforms to the tax code - such as eliminating deductions and loopholes - that both Republicans and Democrats argue is necessary.
He is worried that if some reforms are made now as part of the fiscal cliff talks, Congress might never return to the table to do comprehensive reform.
Not surprisingly, Democrats seized on Coburn's unexpected new position.
"Senator Coburn is an unquestioned conservative," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, in a news release. "If he doesn't provide cover for the Republicans to finally shift on tax rates, I don't know who does."
"Welcome to the Club," read a news release issued by House Democrats.

Re: Welcome to the forums!
Hi Jamie and crew
First time on internet and forum.
I have just been reading Woolworths FRESH magazine which features you and your lovely wife Jools and two beautiful girls. (I have 2 girls about the same age, also beautiful)
They state in this article 'Jamie's recipe for a happy life' that you may be considering re-location to Australia, Melbourne in particular. Is there any truth in this?
I believe you are opening a new line of restaurants down under, how exciting for you and your family. You couldn't have picked a better place in the world!!!
I have watched your school dinner's and agree with your outlook on our childrens nutrition. You are an inspiration to us all with young or older families.
look forward to hearing from you or someone who can confirm the move!

Re: Welcome to the forums!
I happened to cook a successful risotto (the lemon thyme, pecorino and prosciutto one) and this amazed me so much (and my family too, talk about self confidence) that I decided to learn how to cook properly. My lack of knowledge is a bit embarassing...Well more than a bit actually. Like, I just recently discovered garlic already grows in cloves. So wish luck to this absolute beginner

Great pleasure to see this web site. I'm from France a little town called La Seyne sur mer, located along the "French Riviera". I'll certainly need some ideas for a very very special moment, for a man who's going out from hospital. And as I love most of you recipes I don't know which one I will choose. Thank you so much for your show and as we say in France : Hummm, c'est bon ! Would you please excuse me, my english is not as good as I would like.

Re: Welcome to the forums!
At the age of 23 I have just cooked my first weeks meals. And they all came from you Mr Oliver thank you. After watching your schools campaign I realised what was the point of all your hard work in schools if I continue to feed my kids pizza and chips when they come home!!!! I planned my weeks meals from your book and surprised myself cooking ingredients I'd never even heard of, let me emphasize what a novice I am, this is the first time i have ever made mashed potato as opposed to smash and only realised you have to pierce baked potatoes through trail and error!!
Am attempting your marmalade ham this week, any ideas for really fussy 2 year olds, as he has virtually starved this weeks without his usual savaloy and chips.
Thanks for opening my mind and for writing recipes that even I can understand.

Hello Jamie, Great site and congratulations about the schools dinner's project, it is a great cause.
The reason I am trying to contact you is because I have heard today that you recomend La Fiammante tomatoes range and that you would like to use it in your restaurant. Is this true?
If so can you let me have a review or recommendations on the product for my shop?
Hope to hear from you soon.
All the best.

Rated 5 out of 5 by wpetelle Chic and Comfy Recliner!
We have this glider in the white leather - I'm so glad we chose this! I loved the look of the Joya rocker but did not find it as comfortable as the Grano. First, I think it's a little roomier and sturdier. I also like the leg rest/recliner option which saves us from having to get an ottoman. It's not the easiest thing to use (I have a hard time getting it back in sometimes, and it's not great when the baby has just been put to sleep!) but it's worth it and I still use it every night. The leather option is great for cleaning and it looks really chic in the nursery! I think it will last a long time and have more uses in the house in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by aliny stylish, comfortable recliner for small spaces
We were looking for a recliner that would fit with our modern decor, be comfortable, offer support and look aesthetically pleasing. The Grano Glider and recliner definitely fit the bill. Not only is the Grano glider attractive it is so comfortable for my small 5'1 frame. It's the ideal glider if you are putting a baby to sleep at night or if you are a breastfeeding parent. I highly recommend this glider and I would purchase it from giggle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Uzma Expensive but worth it.
This was the most expensive piece of furniture we purchased for our nursery because we had expected to spend many hours in it nursing our baby. We weren't wrong in that expectation - and wow, was it worth every penny. I nursed for about 15 months and both my husband and I have spent many a night rocking back and forth soothing our child. Every time we do, we thank ourselves for having the foresight to buy it. Now (in our post-nursing phase) we spend most of our time reading books to our baby in the recliner.
The great thing is, once we're done using it for the baby, it's simply a good piece of furniture and so we'll be able to move it into another room for general use.
May 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 Comfortable and stylish
I was so happy when Monte added the Grano glider to its line about three years ago (when my son was born). Tired of the numerous old-fashioned gliders on the market, the Grano is an oasis of clean design. It fits well in a nursery, in an older child's room, or even in a den or living room.
Beyond aesthetics, the Grano is comfortable. As other reviewers have said, transitioning to the reclined position or the to extend the footrest can be a little cumbersome. But, once you arrive at your desired position, the chair is supremely comfortable. It was my preferred location for naps (both during pregnancy and the early days of motherhood) and for nursing.
December 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by KnewNothing Love how it moves, don't need the reclining
We absolutely love the rocking motion on this chair. It's not actually a glider, it rocks, which is a much nicer feeling than gliding. It's also a great size for sitting with your legs crossed (and hte little pillow is actually really great for nursing too). We sometimes use the leg portion of the recliner, but getting it to actually recline back is hard. More annoying is that it doesn't really stay reclined unless your pushing it, so it's not really useful for reclining and then falling asleep.

Rated 1 out of 5 by restonmom Beautiful and comfy, but doesn't function well
We were very excited about this chair, but have been disappointed so far. I read the other review regarding the recline and foot rest issues, as well as the response regarding the chair 'tricks'. I have to agree, once you are reclined, you can't move, or else the back will come up straight. Try doing that with an 8 month old. And if you put any weight on your feet while the rest is up, it will just fall down. Then to close the foot rest, you have to push very hard and it makes a loud click, usually waking up baby. I tried the 'tricks' and have the same issues. Hopefully they can work these kinks out, otherwise I'd say buy the non-recline model, since the recline is useless.
February 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by emma2011 Great space saver
I have been very pleased with this purchase. I was worried I spent too much at first, but it has been a great value. I bought a cheaper model for my first born and regretted it when I realized how many hours I would spend in it. The footrest is easy to use, by pulling a tag on the right side. The grey color is very easy to clean and does not show dirt. I had a c-section and it is comfortable enough, with an extra pillow behind my back for the first couple of weeks. I don't use the little pillow it came with. We plan to move it into the living room. The only issue was that delivery took close to 8 weeks, so order early if you want it in time for the baby.

(9 Questions : 9 Answers)
See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own.
Does the foot rest on this model pop out?Answers
Thanks for your question! Yes, when reclining the chair a foot rest comes out. If you have other questions or if you need a more detailed answer our great giggle team is happy to help! just give us a quick buzz at 800-495-8577 and pick our brains!Q:
How do you clean the fabric? Milk stains are faint, but I'd like to clean my rocker up. Thanks!Answers
Monte's Oeko-Tex 100 Standard microsuede fabrics are antimicrobial, formaldehyde-free; stain and water resistant. If you get to them quickly, you can blot spills on the fabric with water. But if your spots need a little more magic to help them disappear, Monte recommends that you use a professional upholstery-cleaning service.Q:
Does the glider have any chemical flame retardants, PBDE or otherwise?Answers
Monte's internal material is a non-toxic (low/no-VOC) foam that is manufactured from natural seed-based oils such as soybean, is both CFC (chloroflurocarbon) and PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ethers)-free, and meets all CAL 117 flammability requirements without the addition of chemical flame retardants. The exterior fabrics are compliant with Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, and meet globally uniform test criteria for textile safety and efficacy relating to human ecology.Q:
Does the Grano glider swivel from left to right? Also, when the chair is in the upright position, can it be locked in place so it does not glide?Answers
Monte's super-stylish Grano Glider/Recliner glides in the upright chair position, and locks in-place when it's reclined. It neither swivels, nor locks into a fixed upright position.If you're looking for a chair that swivels and glides, try Dutailier's Tuscany chair. And, if your heart is set on a glider/recliner solution, Dutailier's Adagio and Verona chairs offer gliding, locking, and reclining features making these the fullest-featured seating solutions in giggle's assortment.
Products from my answer
Since this chair is not slipcovered, how do you clean it of baby spit up/potential messes?Answers
Monte's Microfiber upholstery is a durable, soft fabric that is antimicrobial, stain, and water resistant making it perfect for a nursery, or a busy room used by the entire family. Most stains can be spot-cleaned with a little mild soap and water solution by doing the following:• Using a clean white cloth and a bit of the solution, rub the stain gently with circular motions
• Once the stain has been removed, wipe the area again with only water to remove any soap
• Finally, blot dry with a fresh cloth; do not leave affected area in direct sunlight while drying
• For tougher stains, please consult a professional upholstery cleaner
hi there - wondering how much space you need to keep between the chair and a wall for it to fully recline? thanks.Answers
It is recommended that you leave 12" – 14" between the Monte Grano Glider Recliner and a wall.Q:
Hi. I've not been able to find a store with this chair in stock to actually sit in it and I am hesitant to order a chair that I've not sat in first.I like the Luca a lot but prefer to have a recliner. What feedback have you gotten from customers on the comfort level (width, depth, etc) of this chair compared to the Luca?
Based on customer feedback, the Grano and Luca are pretty comparable in comfort level. Ultimately, the deciding factor is whether you want the added feature of a recliner vs. just a glider. If you were pleased with the feel of the Luca, I think you will be extremely happy with the combined benefits of a glider and recliner in one chair. Go Grano!Q:
Does this chair glide back and forth, or rock, or both?And how far does it recline? is it a smooth/continuous recline or does it have just a few recline positions (such as 45 degrees, 90 degrees)?
Great questions! The Grano is a true glider, so it just glides back and forth. It has a continuous recline up to approx. 120 degrees. Hope that helps!Q:
does this recliner rock when in the reclined position?Answers
No, the Grano either glides or reclines, but doesn't do both simultaneously. Thanks for the question!1 of 1

okay..so I had posted a very personal ghost encounter on this board, not so long ago. Only to have it lost to the eithers.
Things happen as they should.(I guess)
But honestly.
This stuff is so close..vulnerable..sacred..and should be respected as such..
In honor of the board I post this (because I post so much drivle elsewhere..to everything there is a season...and a reason..one thing leads to another..)
..I guess..it is a true story..believe or not...I could give and F...
In 1987 I had an up close and personal encounter with a large black triangulat UFO.
It was black with green lights (seemed to be set up in a sort of bpwling pin pattern. think {ythagorous here. Google. I was bathed in a green light (this was late at night)
I screamed (like I was being raped) and almost past out from shock. The very moment my H opened our home's front door (in response to my screaming) I heard a sort of "snap" and it disapeared, leaving green "sparklies" floating downwards in it's wake. (like fireworks would)
worth noting...I also had a close UFO enocunter as a child and some abduction like experiences as a child.
After this "event" I had several "abduction-like" experiences (and ghostlike experiences)that went on until the late nineties and basically ended with my son's Autism dx they took him once and told me he had Autism..basically..when he was two and a half(people, doctors were amazed at his young dx..my sister in law even thought I had Munchousans by Proxy.. that beyatch).... this is how I learned about it his Autism..they stood by his bed and told me..I believe.....six months later..he was offically dx'd (I am left feeling like a failed experiment to be brutally honest..and wonder how many of us "failed experiments" are out there..I am left wondering if they tweaked my kid (and other kids) and basically ruined them..or, at leadt f'd them up..a-lot)
maybe I am comlepletley nuts..probably so..but I hold THEM accountable..and will not rest until they have righted the wrong they have done me and my kid. (and it is starting to seem
countless other kids and our species as a whole) so maybe they owe us ALL
I truly believe they play a role in the "autism epidemic"..though..I'm not sure what..yet

When talking about increasing energy efficiency in a data center, a lot of people stop listening because the issue of sacrificing uptime always rears up its head . Uptime should not even be a topic of discussion. It should be a given. Even in this day and age, many facilities just leave the thermostat at a low level because it's a safe bet. But it's not necessarily the right thing to do for the environment. … Read More

The slowness of Varsity in getting started was largely responsible for its de- feat, Philadelphia scoring 4 goals to Var- sity's 2 in the first half. Most of the scrimmage was in front of Bryn Mawr's goal; but after a neat dribble by F. Jay, '26, D. Lee, '25, shot a goal. F. Jay also scored in the first half. s> In the second Varsity played faster and more accurately. The game grew more exciting, M. Tyler, Philadelphia's left in- side, and D. Lee shooting goals in rapid succession. F. Jay and W. Dodd, whose teamwork, with the rest of the forward line, was quick and clever, also scored. Then the Philadelphia centre forward passed all the backs and streaked down the field, shooting a hard goal at the end. A few minutes later she started another dribble and was only stopped by the bril- liant attack of J. Seeley, '27. A goal by E. Martin, Philadelphia's right inside, ended the game, which was one of the cleanest and most interesting played this season. Lineup: Philadelphia�Frasier, Martin, Porcher, M. Tyler, '22, M.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS STILL AN ACTIVE BODY, SAYS MISS ELY Speaker Describes Attitude Towards America as Very Generous "The spirit of Geneva," said Miss Ger- trude Ely, speaking before the Liberal Club last Friday night, "is one of open- ness and willingness to co-operate." Miss Ely has been attending the League ses- sions. "It's so extraordinary," she continued, "to come from Geneva, where everyone is interested in the League, to, America, where everyone thinks it is dead. There was much excitement there this particu- lar year, becausejjerriot, MacDonald and other foreigir^ministers attended Each country representfri sent delegates, though there was only one vote to each country. �� "The attitude toward America was significant. Everyone was pcSite, but said, 'I suppose your cpuntry isn't much interested in all this?' Americans who applied for tickets were allotted forty out of the available two hundred, which was extraordinary generosity, for there were sixteen hundred other applicants.

" SPORTS, EXCEPT FOR ROWING, ARE.SERIOUS AT OXFORD No Fraternities, But Social Life Provided By Various Clubs (Continued from the article on Oxford in last week's issue.) Intercollege Sports Informal. There are intercollege sports through- out the year; and these, with the excep- tion of rowing, are conducted in a most informal manner. On the morning of a game, a list is posted of the men who are asked to play that afternoon; but if it should be inconvenient for anyone he scratches out his name; and the captain, who comes back at noon to see his muti- lated list, must get substitutes to take the place of those who have fallen by the way- side! Yet a certain amount of good spirit re- sults from these games, and an even greater amount of good sportsmanship� if lqye of the game for its own sake be the criterion. Above all, these College games give new men the chance to prove their mettle, and word quickly reaches the ears of the 'varsity officials that "So- and-So is playing well for Queens." Then one fine day he is asked to play for the 'varsity in a trial match. That day he does not scratch his name off any list. He plays for his life�for the chance of winning a "blue" is in his hands. Rowing a "Serious Sport." Rowing, throughout, is treated as a "serious sport." Either you row or you don't row; and though theoretically you have the same questionable privilege of striking your name off the list for prac- tice, the "rowing push"�the rowing of- ficials of the College�will stand for little or none of this half-hearted business. You are trained for weeks in a "tub" or pair- oar; you row for a winter on fixed seats. Then perhaps in the spring, when the hearts of coaches grow imperceptibly mel- lower, you are given a chance at a sliding seat. It's little enough reward for the long weeks you have rowed through the winter, with the rain freezing on your hands, and with, all the inconveniences that rowing men look back upon with a sigh of relief�and regret. To anyone who has watched the inter- collegiate races on the broad Hudson, the sight of ten college boats tearing up the river in a long' procession must seem ludicrous. In reality, it is the only kind of race which can be managed on an ex- ceedingly narrow river where ten boats are competing with each other. When one boat overtakes and bumps the one in ' CONTINUED ON' PAGE 2 DR. MEIKIEJOHN CALLS DEMOCRACY RECKLESS VENTURE Basic Virtues Arc Objectivity, Taste Common Sense and Friendliiess SCIENCE CLUB A meeting of the Science Club was held last Tuesday to announce the resignation of the president, E. Baldwin, '25. KL Fowler *25, was elected as her successor, and H. Ports, "25, secretary, to succeed Miss Fow- ler. "Democracy is the determination that every member of the community shall have a chance at life," said Dr. Meikle- john in Taylor last Wednesday. "There are good things in life and it is one's plain duty to have them." But the virtue of friendliness�which with common sense is one of the corollaries of objectivity and the foundation of Democracy�is this: That one is just as anxious that another should have these things. It makes no dif- ference who has them. "The important thing is that value should be experienced." The present and very silly reaction is, "If there's anything good in the world and others can't have it, I won't cither." According to Democ- racy it is not one's duty to find one'�lifc in serving others, nor is Democracy a doc- trine of opportunity�the situation of every man having a chance to rise above another if he can. Democracy means just friendliness, the attempt of a group of people to live to- gether, every man having a regard for every other as of like value�not of like power�with .himself. "All values are individual." If one is going to serve other lives they must be individual lives. "If you can have all the'people educated individually you can have a democracy." Democracy gets its most essential expres- sion in regard to children and its most adequate expression in the field of educa- tion. If we could give people intelligence we could give them control. "A vote doesn't give a person any more control than he has understajyiing." Even if all the hundred millions of America could be individually educated, they must still learn to think as individuals and as a group. This is where democracy becomes a very reckless venture, bringing together into order all those individually educated minds. Aristocracy says, "Let a few do it�let the rest Be individuals within our under- standing." "Democracy! says, "Every human individual must try to understand the whole social situation." "Intelligence isn't a privilege in a democracy; it's a duty." You can't think in groups and have a democracy. But people must be allowed to differ; you have to be helped by Mifferences. Those who have to do with communicating ideas should be of the nature of artists, with an artist's desire for truth. "Democracy is a great adventure in friendliness. It would be a tremendous achievement of human intelligence." FIRST COMEDY OF PINERO Simple, charming acting of an amus- ing play, with the actors' feeling for the reality of their stage, and a spontaneous appreciation by the audience and the cast of each other, last Saturday eve- ning, made "The Amazons' a true success for the class of 1926. J This subtle understanding of audience and actor grew with the lighting of Lady Thomasin's cigarette in the first act, when the spirit of downtrodden sis- terhood thrilled the atmosphere from balcony to backdrop. The scenery and costumes were both natural and artistic, yet without the heaped-up details of a Belasco realistic setting or the amateur's struggle to be aesthetic. "The Tangle" of Overcote Park had a true country air; the backdrop even gave the feeling of perspective. The gymnasium scene was admirably simple, yet suggestive. Ex- cellent lighting varied the illusion from afternoon sunshine to the bluish dark- ness of 8 o'clock. In fact the chance to wear evening dresses is supposed nowa- days to increase the popularity of a play. (Perhaps that is why both Juniors and Ethel Barrymore are partial to Pinero.) In spite of the short time for rehear- sal the acting was easy and intelligent, without the amateurish extremes of drawling slowness and frenzied haste. The high moments of the play, like the entrance of Lady Castlejordan and the ensuing mad rush to the closet, in the last act, were quite realized. Martha Talcott, as the Count de Grival, and Anne Linn, as the Earl of Tweenways, were delightful, especialy in their scenes together. Miss Talcott managed her CONTINUED ON PACE 3 VALUE OF COLLEGE EDUCATION DISCUSSED BY LIBERAL CLUB First of Series oi Problems of Education Led by Dr. De Lapina Barbara Ling, '25, was elected vice president, and Marion Smith, '27, secre- tary, at the meeting of the French Club last Thursday. fir. De Laguna, Professor of Philoso- ^ phy, opened the discussion, "Why Be Educated?", held in-the Christian Associa- tion room of the Library under the aus- pices of the Liberal Club, on Sunday, November 9, with the question: "What do we hope to get out of our college education?" It was agreed that one result of a college education is an intellectual interest in vari- ous subject. Exactly what is that intellec- tual interest, and of what use is it to us. Dr. De Laguna went on to ask. ( Does It unfit us for life by separating the drudgery of plain work from outside interests? Dr. De Laguna asked whether the stu- ' dent with a purpose for the future did the best work, and whether that purpose should be professional. v The proposition that we'should study only what we like was then discussed. Dr. De Laguna closed the discussion with the suggestion that we set our own stand- ards in work to get the best out of ourselves, and that we choose the subject for study in which we are most successful The next meeting of the discussion group will consider secondary education, and, in particular, how we like to be taught

Surrounded by water and filled with green meadows, the island of Faial is fully integrated in the most popular features of the Azores. Contact with nature is virtually permanent and various sporting activities, including the most radical, are available to anyone who arrives in the city of Horta.
In addition to tours through the gardens of Horta, it is recommended, especially during the warmer months, a visit to the Natural Pools in Varadouro. They are located on the west coast and have a breathtaking view of the slopes of Monte Castelo Branco. You have a selection of pools or direct access to the sea. Due to the formation of basalt rock, the sea causes the water to have a mild temperature.One of the best experiences is the walks in the Caldeira. Though I cannot descend to the bottom of an old volcano, the views that are seen here, are harder to reach than others, they are breathtaking. The crater is about 400 meters deep and two miles in diameter. On one side we could see the northeast area of Faial, with the lighthouse at the tip and on clear days, you can spot the island of Graciosa.Besides the walks in the city there are companies that organize adventure tours: mountain biking, kayaking, diving, windsurfing, sailing, whale watching, dolphin watching, fishing and parasailing. In the city you can get free bicycle rides.

� The College News Volume IV. No. 13 BRYN MAWR, PA., JANUARY 17, 1918 Price 5 Cents President Thomas Makes Suffrage Speech as Amendment Passes House DESCRIBES WORK FOR FEDERAL MEASURE�CONFIDENT OF 8UCCESS While the Federal Amendment giving; women the vote was being passed in the House of Representatives last Thursday, President Thomas, in an enthusiastic speech before the Suffrage Club in Pem- broke East, described the work done for the Federal Amendment at the Annual Convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, held in De- cember in Washington, D. C. Before she began speaking. President Thomas asked a member of the club to call up the North American information bureau and find out the progress of the vote. "The test vote triumphant in the House�nothing final�but the measure sure to pass", came back the answer to a delighted audience. President Thomas shared the optimism of the reporter at the end of the wire and predicted the passage of the amendment through both Houses and its ratification by three-fourths of the States. She cited the nearly equal representa- tion of Republicans and Democrats In Congress as favorable to woman suffrage. Both parties, she explained, are afraid of losing a single seat through opposing the woman suffragists who now vote in twelve States. The passage of the pro- hibition amendment, she pointed out, had prepared the way for a Federal Woman Suffrage Amendment by dealing a blow at the States' rights doctrine. Describing the measures taken by the Woman Suffrage Convention to bring pressure on Congress to pass the Federal Amendment, President Thomas read the resolution voted unanimously by the dele- gates, a "resolution with teeth*': "That if the Sixty-fifth Congress fails to submit the amendment before the Con- gressional election of 1918, the Associa- tion shall select and enter into such a number of senatorial and congressional campaigns as will effect a change In both Houses of Congress sufficient to insure the passage of the Federal Amendment. The selection of the candidates to be opposed is to be left to the Executive Board of the State in question. A patriotic rider to the resolution de- clared that neither party considerations nor loyalty to the Federal Amendment should take precedence of loyalty to the country. The passage of this resolution by the suffragists, according to President Thomas, together with the fact that New York, the most powerful State in the Union, had gone for woman suffrage, made the Federal Amendment for the first time an immediate possibility. To illustrate her statement that prac- tically all progressive people are for suf- frage the speaker referred to what she termed "a very satisfactory and delightful thing", the fact that during the New York elections the vote of the men in the train- ing camps, of "the young and brave men j of the State", was two to one for woman suffrage. M. Martin '19, the youngest delegate, spoke briefly to the Club on the practical details of the Convention, emphasising the businesslike methods, the political at- mosphere, and the wonderful speeches of the leaders. SOPHOMORES LEAD IN SWIM- MING MEET UNMARKED BY THRILLS 1918 Withdraws Swimming Team No Records Broken or Tied With a total of 37V4 points, as against 1921's 22 and 1919's 17%, 1920 paddled off with the highest honors in the first swim- ming meet last Friday night. M. S. Cary '20 was Individual champion with 20 points to her credit. No records were broken or equaled. As 1918 did not enter the meet the titles were contested only by the three lower classes. In strong contrast to the meets last year, when new records were established In every event, there was little excitement on the sidelines. From the beginning there was no doubt as to the outcome, and the only surprise of the evening was 1920's loss of the plunge for (Continued on page 3, column 1.) NEW WATER REGULATIONS IN ROCK Individuals Responsible for Breakage The Rockefeller water situation came to a head last Monday morning when President Thomas announced In Chapel the regulations drawn up by the business Manager after consultation with Miss Nearing, warden of Rockefeller, and Mr. Foley, superintendent of heating, lighting and plumbing, to prevent the expensive freezing of the pipes. For several weeks Rockefeller has been torn by internal dissensions because of the untimely hour the water was shut off from the rooms at night and turned on in the morning. Under the new plan breakage of pipes is the responsibility of the individual and must be paid for by her. If the plan fails there is great danger, according to President Thomas, that the individual basins will be taken out by the Directors' Committee on Buildings and Grounds. One washstand will be installed in each bathroom next summer in any event, she said. The water is now shut off from the rooms at 10.30 p. m. and any one going to bed before then must leave her win- dows closed for the maid to open at 10.30. It is not turned on again until 7.30 and on Saturdays and Sundays not until 8. Any one wishing to sleep later must leave word for the maid to close her windows at the time the water is turned on. In next week's "College News", MRS. WILLIAM ROY SMITH on the "ROMANCE OF THE MARKET'. The second of a series of articles by special contributors MILLION AND A HALF WOMEN HELP WIN WAR IN ENGLAND Use for Horsechestnuts Found at Last FOOD CONSERVATION LAUNCHED On the same day the suffrage amend- ment was passed In the House of Repre- sentatives a Mil including the enfranchise- ment of British women was passed by the House of Lords. To plan a menu which will conform with government regulations, give suffi- cient nourishment to young people who are working hard, and yet come within the bounds of the college income is, ac- cording to Miss Martha Thomas, chair- man, the threefold problem confronting the Food Conservation Committee, which held Its first meeting last Monday. The possibility of issuing individual "Hoover" cards, encouraging the saving of sugar and other war scarcities, was discussed at this meeting. K. Sharpless. senior member of the committee, is in- vestigating what has been done along this line by other women's colleges. All the white bread used in the college was declared by Miss Crawford, Junior Bursar, to be the so-called "war biead". baked with 10 per cent-cornmeal instead of the full wheat. It was decided at the last Warden's Meeting that milk lunch, usually served twice a day during examinations, will this year be given out only In the evening. SOCIETY WOMEN GOOD WORKERS That society women make excellent kitchen maids in wartime and that with- out their faithful, conscientious work England could not have done what she has in the war, was one Impression gained from Miss Helen Fraser's talk on English Women's Work In Winning the War. given in Taylor Hall last Friday afternoon. Beside the million and a half women who have replaced men in industry, Miss Fraser pointed out, there is the Woman's Army Corps or the W. A. C.'s as they are called, who are enlisting at the rate of 10,000 a month to do regular army work: cooking, clerical work, light transport driving both in England and in France. Mentioning the fact that there had been but 280 regular army nurses in England at the outbreak of the war. Miss Fraser told of the Invaluable aid given in the first months, when six hundred ollieei:- were killed, by the V. A. D. or voluntary detachment of the Red Cross. This body, now numbering 60,000, was organized amid a lack of popular enthusiasm, by Miss Haldane in 1909. Its members keep England's thousand hospitals supplied with nurses, Miss Fraser continued. On executive committees, as well as in rou- tine life, she went on, the war has brought out women's ability. The Food Controller has two women co-directors, and women are represented on all com- mittees in which they have special con- cern. Farmerettes and "Canary Girls" Women farmers are trained by the Board of Agriculture on the home farms of the big estates, given a uniform of smock and breeches, cut to order, and transported free to their posts. They sign on for a year and have a minimum wage of $5 a week, continued Miss Fi with a cottage to live in and a dally al- lowance of milk and fuel. The million women engaged in muni- tion manufacture turn out as many shells in a fortnight now as were made in all of last year, she said. Miss Fraser praised especially the sacrifice of the "canary girls", who, working with picric acid, turn yellow even to their hair. Miss Fraser's Own Work War saving done through associations of soldiers, sailors, Hnd school children subscribing from three farthings a week up, is Miss Fraser's own branch of war work. Saving of food she also described: how fats are extracted from dish-water to make glycerine for munitions and how horsechestnuts as cattle feed have saved 200.000 tons of grain.

Unique style Vaquero headstall of braided nylon with braided overlay buttons. Handsome bridle with center crossover design. Contrasting black and tan color looks great on a variety of horses.
Bought this for my appy. Not only does it look great on him it fits great.
This is an awesome headstall! I've had it for several years and do all my riding in it, from schooling to showing to trails. It holds up very nicely and is very comfortable in my hands. It's also very adjustable. I can use it on all 3 of my different sized horses. After 3 years the glue on one of the cheekpieces broke, but it was easy to repair, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. For a $10 nylon headstall, I'm pretty impressed!
I have a QH that is very difficult to get a headstall for. After borrowing one of these from a friend of mine, I decided that this may just be the answer to my problem. Because it is quite easy to fit exactly like you need it, this was, in fact, the answer to my fit problem! It looks great on my horse, too!! Perfect to use while we decide on a new saddle and have a heastall cistom made to fit her!
