Other nearby attractions include: Naples Zoo, The Everglades, South Beach, Hard Rock Casino, Deep Sea Fishing, Canoeing, Kayaking, Miromar Outlet Mall, Tin City Naples, 5th Avenue Naples, Busch Gardens Tampa, and Disney World. The fun never ends!
We were charmed by this condo and its owners. Spacious and maintained property, we had wonderful Christmas holiday in this property. We felt right at home and were able to enjoy the pool and training center. This condo is close to everything and easy to access. What a lovely holiday and we certainly have the ocassion to return.
A month in April is a delightful time to be here, both at this lovely clean condo and Bonita Springs. The location here is so ideal. You are not only close to restaurants ( there's a fabulous Chinese take out walking distance from Hawthorne at the little strip mall) but there is a movie theater 5 minutes away off Bernwood Prkwy. The beaches and weather were fabulous! The property manager, A. is a gem. She is really such a kind and responsible woman. There was a plumbing issue, and A. and her husband came over in good time and successfully fixed the problem. The condo has everything you need for a day at the beach: towels, cooler, and two easy to carry beach chairs. I thoroughly enjoyed the pool and fitness center every morning. A nice 5 minute walk away. I liked Bonita Springs so much that we are considering a move out here in the near future, we hope. Thank you so much!!!!
Another fabulous visit at this spacious condo. As always the place was spotless After 3 visits, it is beginning to feel like home. Besides the beautiful condo the community of Hawthorne is delightful ,people actually wave as you drive buy. Looking forward to next year!
Had a wonderful month in this beautiful home. Everything you would ever need is here. Convenient to beaches, shopping, and fine restaurants. We would certainly recommend this condo to everyone. Best of all we missed out on terrible month of cold and snow in New England.

We enjoyed a return visit to this condo. It was such a great trip last year that we had to come back for some more! It was like coming home.
The condo is immaculate and so well equipped. Everything is there- beach towels, cooler, ice packs, beach chairs, cooking utensils, wi-fi, books and entertainment, soap, shampoo... We truly felt like we were coming to our vacation home away from home.
If you have young children, this is a great condo for you! It is clean, clean clean. A pack-n-play is a new addition for the little ones and the street is quiet for good sleeping. We discovered a wonderful children's museum in Naples and a fun water park in a nearby park district. The pool is a short walk from the condo and the beach is close by.
We look forward to visiting our Bonita Springs home again soon!
The condo was awesome - spotless, spacious, peaceful and beautiful. The owner and manager were right there if there were any questions or concerns. It is close to the beach, shopping and all the scenery and sun that we in Ohio crave at this time of the year. Coconut Point and Miramar Outlets are great destinations for shoppers. Lots of restaurants in all directions. I especially enjoyed the water aerobics at the small pool on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Swimming outdoors in January! Wow.
I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet retreat- sitting and reading on the lanai, or there are tons of things to do within a few miles if you choose.

Lightbulbs to Leadership Campaign Culminates with House Party Action Nights
National Teleconference with Gov. Gregoire, Van Jones and Carl Pope
Final Video Released
Washington, DC After more than 49,000 people demanded better fuel economy standards for vehicles, the Sierra Club's Lightbulbs to Leadership campaign is now gearing up for the final phase of the Lightbulbs to Leadership campaign--a night of action on green job development.
Today, Sierra Club also released the third and final animated video of the campaign, entitled the "Greening of America" at on the Lightbulbs to Leadership site.
Using lightbulb jokes, examples of green technologies, and creative juxtaposition, this third video in the series aims to shows that fighting global warming can save the planet and boost the economy. We can create jobs and business opportunities --and leave our children a safer healthier, future -- but only if we demand real leadership now.
On July 17th, the campaign will culminate with more than 110 Lightbulbs to Leadership House Parties across the U.S., where people will listen in on a national conference call featuring Green For All President Van Jones, Washington State Gov. Christine Gregoire, and Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope. Attendees will then write letters to their governors encouraging green job development. House parties planned in your area can be found by clicking on the "Find a House Party" button and entering your local zip code from the Lightbulbs to Leadership site.
The Lightbulbs to Leadership campaign is reminding Americans that it takes more than changing lightbulbs to fix global warming it takes policymakers changing direction on global warming and catching up with the people.
In June, using videos and email outreach, the campaign gathered more than 49,000 signatures for a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) telling the agency to speed it up when it comes to issuing better fuel economy standards. The signatures were delivered before the July 1st NHTSA comments deadline, reminding the agency that the biggest single step the U.S. can take to curb global warming and conserve oil is to require automakers to produce more efficient vehicles. The first two videos were viral hits, with more than 100,000 views on YouTube.
"This campaign is demonstrating that taking action on global warming is a priority for Americans," said Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club. "Americans want clean energy solutions and we believe the U.S. should take the lead in combating global warming. Global warming is real and we need to demand real leadership.

Anthropology Course Descriptions
Anthropology is the study of human culture. Often cross-listed and interdisciplinary, Anthropology courses at Drury stress social science methodologies, with emphasis on the contextual specifics of place and time on shaping unique societies. These courses also seek to closely examine how people make meaning in their lives by taking into account social relationships of power present in economics, politics, religion, race, and gender. Currently, the university does not offer a minor or a major in Anthropology.
ANTH 111: Introduction to Anthropology. 3 hours.
A survey that builds on basic anthropological concepts, methodologies and theories to examine human cultures in a variety of geographic and historical contexts. Topics include human origins, biological evolution, archaeology, gender, health, religion, family and marriage, economics, political organization and representation.
ANTH 200: Introduction to International Development and Aid. 3 hours.
An examination of the concepts and issues of globalization and development, including a study of the roles of the state, multilateral agencies, philanthropies and community organizations in the contemporary world.
ANTH 311: Issues in Community and Global Health. 3 hours.
This course introduces community and public health by framing it in a broad global context, and it examines social and cognitive factors contributing to health status and behavior. Topics may include the history and practice of public health; the social, political and economic determinants of health disparities; and distributions of disability, disease, and mortality.
ANTH 315: Gender, Sex and the Body. 3 hours.
A study of the concepts of culture and the body, including critical analysis of alternative gendered experiences, comparisons of how cultures shape identities about the body and sexuality, and cultural perceptions about sexuality, child-bearing and self-identification.
ANTH 362: Gender and Islam. 3 hours.
This course offers an overview and in-depth consideration of the relationship between gender and religion in Islamic cultures around the world. The course introduces students to cultural practices of Islamic society and the ways that women's lives are shaped by religious forces. Readings and course materials emphasize the cultural contexts of the women's lived experiences and daily practices, including the regulatory discourses of veiling and seclusion, kinship structures, violence, health, feminist activism, literary expressions, etc. Students will also look critically at the emergence of Islamic feminist thought, in dialogue with the human rights discourse present in western feminism, to draw out issues related to gender, ethics, and cultural relativism in a global world.
ANTH 290, 390, 490 Selected Topics. 1‐3 hours.
ANTH 291, 292, 391, 392, 491, 492 Research.

Use equal parts of each, you want a coarse consistency that allows water to pass through quickly. If you can't find cactus/palm soil, feel free to use any garden soil, just make sure to add enough perlite and sand for aeration and drainage purposes. Also, make sure to mist the cuttings with a spray bottle every few days, if the soil dries out too much the leaves will lose their succulence (water) and fail to take root. Let me know how it goes, good luck!Catherinehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-622617296013751057.post-52778909166893355582016-01-19T22:11:39.652-05:002016-01-19T22:11:39.652-05:00what type of soil do you put the leaves in from th...what type of soil do you put the leaves in from the parent succulent? ready to do some starts

I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear
your thoughts before writing. I've had a tough
time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply
just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Kudos!

This is the third of a three part series.
OK . . . now your chosen purchase site has passed the SSL test (Part 1) and trust concerns (Part 2). But there's one last final check (Malware presence) and one final thing you can do to protect your credit card account number and identity. We'll discuss those two things here and then wrap it all up with a summary.
These articles are lengthy, but a lot of it is explanations. The distillation of the due diligence needed, the actual work you need to do for a comfort level about using a site, is maybe a half hour, probably a little less. That's not bad when you consider the days, weeks, maybe even months of time and headaches you'll be saving yourself if you don't do the necessary due diligence and have to straighten out a mess. And when weighed against the potential for trouble, adequate due diligence comes out much lighter:

The $22 DIY Standing Desk Made With IKEA Parts
Standesk 2200 was designed by Colin Nederkoorn, founder of Customer.io, and was devised as low cost solution addressing monitor height and keyboard height with cost efficiency alongside ergonomics. One his readers pointed out he had an even cheaper $20 standing desk solution, put together with an As-Is kitchen cabinet for standing desk duties. But we think Colin's solution is a bit more elegant. Instructions below: You Will Need:
- Lack side table - $7.99
- Viktor Shelf - $5.99
- Ekby Valter bracket $4.00 x 2
- Wood Screws
- Total cost: $21.98
Assembly Instructions:Full PDF instructions to download. (Images: Colin Nederkoorn)
- Assemble the lack side table according to the instructions in the packaging.
- Place the lack side table on top of your existing desk, and your computer monitor or laptop on top of the side table.
- Add a textbook underneath the monitor to raise the height if necessary. You want your head to be straight and your eyes to naturally fall into the top 1/3 of the screen.
- Measure the distance for the brackets. Consider using a twist-tie and stacking them on top of a ream of paper or by placing the shelf underneath the bracket in order to get the height precise.
- Screw the brackets into the legs of the table with an approximately 1.5" long flat head screw.
- Place the shelf on top. Optionally, screw the shelf into the brackets

In Updike's slight story "Walter Briggs," the young married couple Jack and Claire are driving back from a thing in Boston with their two droopy little kids in their car. They're passing time in the enforced setting, as these young Updike couples of the late '50s seem to do, with a verbal game: "Who's Best?," riffing on people from their past. »Read Full Blog Post

LeBron James' bike ride to work before the Miami Heat played the Chicago Bulls on Sunday was caught by some photographers, and suddenly became quite a talking point.
James says he doesn't understand all the fuss, especially since he chooses pedal-power over horse-power on a fairly regular basis.
The Heat star has long been a fan of cycling, and has hosted several offseason bike rides to draw attention to charitable causes in his hometown (Akron, Ohio) during his NBA career.
Miami coasts
Obviously, riding his bicycle doesn't hamper James on the court, as he had 22 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists in a 109-95 win over the visiting New Orleans Hornets, who'll be in the Wells Fargo Center on Friday to meet the 76ers.

Wheeler Film Society
Sunday and Monday, April 7 & 8 at 7:30 Sunday April 7 Matinee at 4:30
Here is the most requested film in our Farewell to Film series, and we've got one of only two 35mm prints from the L.A. vaults. Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director in 1943, critically rated as one of the best films of all time and one of the most beloved American films, this captivating wartime adventure of romance and intrigue from director Michael Curtiz defies standard categorization. Simply put, it is the story of Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a world-weary ex-freedom fighter who runs a nightclub in Casablanca during the early part of WWII. Despite pressure from the local authorities, notably the crafty Capt. Renault (Claude Rains), Rick's cafe has become a haven for refugees looking to purchase illicit letters of transit which will allow them to escape to America. One day, to Rick's great surprise, he is approached by the famed rebel Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) and his wife, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), Rick's true love who deserted him when the Nazis invaded Paris. She still wants Victor to escape to America, but now that she's renewed her love for Rick, she wants to stay behind in Casablanca. "You must do the thinking for both of us," she says to Rick. He does, and his plan brings the story to its satisfyingly logical, if not entirely happy, conclusion. "A brilliant film that merits inclusion in every self-respecting film critic's top three." – BBC.

About Grupo Naidy
Grupo Naidy, based in Cali, Columbia, play a marimba and drum music known as currulao, a strikingly African-inflected style that has flourished on the Pacific coast of southern Columbia and northern Ecuador (the group's repertoire also embraces juga, arrulo, salve, bunde, alabao, and canto de boga pieces).

Aside from the allure of the 21-year-old headliner, the Milwaukee date of Miller's Space Migration tour boasted four supporting acts, two of which — Earl Sweatshirt and Chance the Rapper — are among the most hyped up-and-coming MCs of 2013. »Read Full Article(3)

Ice Line - West Chester, PA - Phone: (610) 436-9670
Ice Hockey, in West Chester, is�a�team sport�that is played on�ice, where skaters hit a�puck�into the opponent's net using their stick. This fast-paced physical sport is most popular in the areas that are sufficiently cold for natural reliable seasonal ice cover, such as the�Czech Republic,�Latvia, the�Nordic countries,�Russia,�Slovakia,�Germany,�Austria,�Switzerland�but mostly known to be played in�Canada�and the northern latitudes of the�United States. Ice hockey, being a full contact sport, has to deal with frequent injuries. Protective equipment are therefore highly recommended and are enforced in all competitive situations. These include helmets, shoulder pads, elbow pads, mouth guard, protective gloves, heavily padded shorts, athletic cups, shin pads, skates, and neck protectors. Goaltenders may additionally use different gears, neck guards, chest/arm protectors, blockers, catch gloves, and leg pads.
Ice hockey in West Chester is played on a�hockey rink, involving six players, including goaltender, per side on the ice at any time, each of whom wears�ice skates. The basic rule of the game is to score�goals�by shooting a hard�vulcanized�rubber�disc, called the�puck, into the opponent's goal net placed at the opposite end of the rink. The puck may be controlled by the players using a long�stick�with a blade, usually curved at one end.
Players are not allowed to hold the puck in their hand pass it to their teammates using their hands or to kick the puck into the opponent's goal, unless they are in the defensive zone.

Terrence Malick fans will be keen to know how "Days of Heaven" has transferred to DVD. This beautiful and sweeping tale is often hailed as one of the great achievements of 70s American cinema. There's much to recommend the DVD release, even if it sorely lacks extra features.
The picture quality is very good, with Paramount putting in the same effort on the transfer as they did with their "Chinatown" disc. The warm and often subtle shades of the glorious countryside vistas that are so elegantly captured in the film come out well on the DVD. There is some grain and print damage that suggests it is nigh on time for a print restoration, but for now this will suffice.
The 5.1 sound mix is lifted from the six-track original, which is wholly given over to reproducing the atmospherics of the US countryside, rather than any showcase effects. Bass levels are good, and it doesn't do a bad job of wrapping you into the mood of the movie. There's also the matter of Ennio Morricone's beautiful score, which separates nicely between the front speakers.
Given Malick's reluctance to even make movies, it would be foolish to expect him to provide a wealth of extra features for this DVD. All that's on offer is a trailer, but the transfer is fine.

Region: 2
Ratio: 1.85:1 (Anamorphic)

As a sector, we've been burying our heads in the sand and hoping that the negative press and public opinion will soon subside but it's been a year and the angst and anguish doesn't seem to be getting any better. The longer there is a misconception about the work we do, the fewer funds there are being brought in and, as a result, fewer lives are being changed.
In terms of its ambition and scope, nothing quite like the Global Goals has ever been attempted. If successful, the impact on all our lives would be profound. It would be one of our defining accomplishments, but if we don't take these principles of cooperation on board, we may well be placing humanity's greatest endeavour out of our reach even before the ink has set on its agreement.
There's another side to the great gogglebox in the corner of our living rooms. TV - in fact British TV specifically - has been the driving force behind humanitarian work that has helped millions of the world's most desperate people. I'm the chair of trustees of the Disasters Emergency Committee, which represents the UK's leading international aid agencies when fundraising for humanitarian emergencies. The DEC has been phenomenally successful, in 67 appeals it has raised more than £1.5billion, including £352million for the Tsunami, £97million for the Philippines Typhoon and, more recently £83 million for the Nepal Earthquake appeal.
One of the things I love about my job is that I get to be optimistic every day. That's because I, and my colleagues working in international development, look at the problems of the world that are rooted in poverty and inequality, and refuse to accept that the world is not smart enough or rich enough to defeat them.
The 7.9 magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal on Saturday morning can only be described as a 'nightmare waiting to happen'. Mega-quakes like this one happen roughly every 80 years in Nepal, with over 9000 people being killed the earthquake of 1934. When I visited last year the possibility of another devastating earthquake was a matter of 'when' rather than 'if', however Nepal was in no way prepared for it...
Friday's Parliamentary vote on Michael Moore's Private Members' Bill is a chance for MPs to reconfirm the UK's status as a global leader in the fight against poverty. I urge them to grasp it. It is surely not too much to ask the UK to continue to give 7p in every £10 of national income to help the world's poorest people...
Of the billion people worldwide who have a disability, the vast majority live in developing countries. People with disabilities represent some of the most excluded of all groups in the community. They are less likely to have access to healthcare and education, and in turn find making a livelihood and escaping poverty that much more difficult, if not impossible.
I suspect most of us want to see an effective international aid programme. But only by addressing some of the institutional processes by which money is awarded and projects assessed are we likely to feel as confident as we ought that British international aid is making the difference it should, and difference it could.
The Western World is aware that international assistance is required to help rebuild less developed countries... Unfortunately, there is a lack of awareness of what it takes to make these systems work in the different cultural settings. This is especially the case with Afghanistan, which is years behind in progress due to 35 years of conflict.

Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Sigurd Snake-in-the-eye (Old Norse: Sigurðr ormr í auga) was one of the five sons of Ragnar Lothbrok.
Early life[edit]
The "Snake-in-the-eye" part of Sigurd's name denoted the fact that he was born with a mark in his left eye, described as the image of the Ouroboros (a snake biting its own tail) encircling the pupil of his eye. The snake mark had been prophesied by his mother Aslaug, the daughter of the Valkyrie Brynhildr.[1]
In modern times, it has been suggested that the mark in Sigurd's eye was a result of a congenital mutation of the PAX6 gene.[2]
As a boy, Sigurd was close to his father and accompanied Ragnar on a hazardous expedition through Russia to the Hellespont. Later on in life he is said to have sojourned for a time in Scotland and the Scottish Islands.[citation needed]
The Great Heathen Army[edit]
In 865 King Ælla of Northumbria killed Ragnar Lothbrok in a pit of serpents. When Ragnar was suffering in the pit he is reputed to have exclaimed: "How the young pigs would squeal if they knew what the old boar suffers!"
Sigurd and his siblings learned of their father's death when the king Ælla sent an envoy to alert them of it. When the brothers heard of their father's death Sigurd is said to have cut himself to the bone with a knife he held in his hand and his brother Björn Ironside gripped his spear so tightly that the imprint of his fingers was left in the wood.[citation needed]
Sigurd and his brothers swore they would avenge his killing in time-honoured Viking tradition. The legend says that their first attempt failed, but through the cunning of the youngest son of Ragnar Lodbrok, Ivar the Boneless, Ælla was duped into a battle he could not win. In 866 they crossed the North Sea with a large army. This Great Heathen Army sacked York, met King Ælla in battle and captured him. According to 'The Tale of Ragnar's Sons' (part of the 'Sagas of Ragnar Lothbrok'), King Ælla was sentenced to die according to the custom of the blood eagle, an exceedingly painful and drawn out death.[citation needed]
Sigurd's descendants[edit]
Ragnarssona þáttr informs that when his father died, he inherited Zealand, Scania, Halland, the Danish islands, and Viken. He married Blaeja, the daughter of king Ælla of Northumbria and they had two children: Harthacanute and Aslaug, who was named after his mother Aslaug.[citation needed]
Harthacanute and his descendents[edit]
Harthacanute succeeded Sigurd as the king of Zealand, Scania and Halland, but he lost Viken (Oslofjord). He was the father of Gorm the Old, the king of Denmark. Gorm succeeded his father as king and married Thyra, the daughter of the Jutish chieftain Harald Klak. When Harald died, Gorm took his kingdom too, and united Denmark.[citation needed]
Harald succeeded his father as king and married Gyrid of Sweden. They had a son named Sweyn Forkbeard. Sweyn succeeded his father as king and married Gunhild (Świętosława of Poland). They had a son named Cnut the Great. Sweyn also ruled England in his lifetime and established the Danish Empire. When Sweyn died, his elder son Harald Svendsen became the King of Denmark, as England's former king, Ethelred reclaimed it. However, as Harald did not marry, his brother Cnut the Great became king, re-established the Danish Empire, and married Emma of Normandy. They had a son named Harthacnut. When Cnut died, Harthacnut became king of the Danish Empire, however, he lost England to Edward the Confessor in 1042.[citation needed]
Aslaug and her son Sigurd Hart[edit]
Sigurd's daughter Aslaug married Helgi the Sharp (the great-great-grandson of king Ring of Ringerike) of the Dagling dynasty. They had the son Sigurd Hart, who married Ingeborg, the daughter of the Jutish chieftain Harald Klak. Sigurd Hart and Ingeborg had the children Guttorm and Ragnhild. When his uncle king Fróði of Ringerike died, Sigurd Hart went to Norway to succeed him as king.[citation needed]
Ragnarssona þáttr and Heimskringla relate that a berserker from Hadeland named Haki (Hake) killed Sigurd Hart, but lost a hand in the fight. Then Haki went to Sigurd Hart's residence at Stein and took Sigurd's children Ragnhild and Guttorm. Haki returned with the children and all the loot to Hadeland. Before Haki (Hake) recuperated from his wounds and could marry the 15-year-old Ragnhild, she was captured a second time, by Halfdan the Black. Halfdan and Ragnhild were the parents of Harald Fairhair.[citation needed]

Local bands battle for slots at Summerfest
It's during bleak weather weeks like these when it's best to just close your eyes and dream of summer, and the big event of the season, Summerfest. Already five headliners for the Marcus Amphitheater have been announced, and local band battles, where winners can get a slot at the Big Gig, are heating up.
The Battle for Catalano tournament has been going on since Jan. 13, with three bands competing nearly every Sunday at Club Charlie's, 320 E. Menomonee St. Last year's inaugural battle had 18 bands fighting for a gig at Ayre in the Square, the outdoor music event at Catalano Square, with spirited Celtic punk group Whiskey of the Damned walking away the winner. This year, there are 27 combatants. One act will win not only the Summerfest slot, but also a six-hour recording session with National Recording and a photo shoot with photographer Dawn Bloomfield. »Read Full Article

Artists turn Fond du Lac Ave. into their canvas
In 1842, Johnsons Park was a farm where escaped slave Caroline Quarlls stayed, marking the start of the Underground Railroad in the area. A century after that pocket of the city harbored slaves seeking freedom, and a generation after homes in the neighborhood were razed to make way for a freeway, dislocation remains an ongoing issue for many living and working in and around a swath of Fond du Lac Ave., according to the organizers of a community-driven, yearlong public art project.
The public art initiative along 20 blocks of Fond du Lac Ave., between N. 17th and 37th streets, is designed to help Milwaukeeans rediscover this once vital artery and its history while engaging with artists and each other. »Read Full Article

Ties that bind
Fond du Lac Ave. ties Milwaukee's downtown to the northwest side of the city. And the In:Site temporary public art project to be on display along the avenue from 17th to 37th streets hopes to tie together the people of those neighborhoods and the rest of the city. "Art on Fond du Lac" features thought-provoking installations that put a spotlight on the area and the needs of the people who call it home. Included in the projects are a sculptural urban greenhouse by George Jones; a tribute to Mattiebelle Woods, the first lady of Milwaukee's black press; and a painting on the avenue itself (at its intersection with Locust St.) by Reggie Baylor. »Read Full Article

A substitute teacher who is also Charleston police officer faces charges after shoving a student who would not listen to his directions, according to police.
Brandon Moses, 25, will be charged with third-degree assault and battery, North Charleston Police Deputy Chief Scott Deckard said.
The confrontation between Moses and the 14-year-old student took place Friday afternoon at Daniel Jenkins Creative Learning Center, according to the incident report. It was captured on video camera.
Moses said the student ignored several requests to give him a basketball the student was holding after a physical education class and instead threw it to another student, according to the report.
The assistant principal told police she saw the student go out in the hall and pick up a wet floor sign. The student said he was going to use it against Moses because the teacher had no right to get in his face, according to the report. An officer explained to the student that it was against the law to threaten the teacher.
Moses was scheduled to surrender to North Charleston police Wednesday morning, Deckard said.

Christmas with Father Christmas
The modern idea of Santa Claus in his red suit, delivering gifts via reindeer pulled sleigh was crafted by Clement C. Moore in his 1823 poem, A Visit from Saint Nicholas. This Santa was based on the Dutch Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) and does not, until the mid 1800's cross paths (and merge) with the "olde" English, Father Christmas.
Father Christmas, in fact is the embodiment of the festive holiday season, with no specific religious attachment, though perhaps some slight druid leanings. He does, in fact quite resemble Charles Dickens' Spirit of Christmas Present, also the embodiment of all the good of the season, albeit with a Victorian slant. This spirit, one of four to visit Ebenezer Scrooge in the 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, is presented to the reader in Stave 3. The Ghost here begins the night quite young and robust and ages throughout the day– after all, over eighteen hundred of his brothers have walked before him, and this spirit's life lasts but one day:
"The walls and ceiling were so hung with living green, that it looked a perfect grove; from every part of which, bright gleaming berries glistened. The crisp leaves of holly, mistletoe, and ivy reflected back the light, as if so many little mirrors had been scattered there; and such a mighty blaze went roaring up the chimney, as that dull petrifaction of a (more…)

For some people, Christmas is all about the foods, for others, a single piece of candy can or the scent of pine can bring them back to their childhood holidays. It is no stretch to suggest that the Candy Cane is one of the most Christmasized of all candies– probably because it was created for the season and is fraught with meaning for those who choose to look for it.
According to legend, they have a German history, but given the German origins of the British monarchy during Jane Austen's life, it's not a stretch to think that the treat might have been brought over to England, along with the Christmas tree and other, older traditions, like the Yule Log. Did Jane enjoy stick candy or candy canes? We may never know.
"According to folklore, in 1670, in Cologne, Germany, the choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral, wishing to remedy the noise caused by children in his church during the Living Crèche tradition of Christmas Eve, asked a local candy maker for some sweet sticks for them. In order to justify the practice of giving candy to children during worship services, he asked the candy maker to add a crook to the top of each stick, which would help children remember the shepherds who paid visit to infant Jesus. In addition, he used the white colour of the converted sticks to teach children about the (more…)
Make Jane Austen Christmas Decorations with Terri Heinz
I recently discovered Terri Heinz's lovely blog, Artful Affirmations. Here she presents and discusses her lovely collection of china and teacups, all gorgeously photographed. Terri is a talented artisan as well as photographer, and the chronicle of her journey towards creating a stunning Jane Austen themed Christmas tree was as visually delightful as it was creatively inspiring. She has graciously agreed to share her story here, along with her photographs and crafting hints for creating your own Austen inspired trimmings. I will allow her to continue in her own words.
For many years I have enjoyed the writings of the incredible Jane Austen. Several years ago I was lucky enough to travel around England and visit some of the places of her life. I was delighted and inspired by the displays at the Jane Austen Center and the Chawton Cottage house, and profoundly moved standing next to her writing desk and her resting place in Winchester Cathedral. Her writings speak to me of humanity. Her novels so aptly named! Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion! Her books are always nearby.

Parlour Games
Parlour games were a common way of passing an evening with friends and relatives. They might be mentally stimulating, physically assertive or even somewhat messy (like snapdragon or bullet pudding!) The Austen family is known to have enjoyed many types of mental games, which required memorization, or rhymes on the fly.
Book such as Winter evening pastimes; or, The merry-maker's companion, by Rachel Revel (1825) offered stimulating and sometimes even daring diversions from the staid entertainments of reading, writing, music and card playing, featured at the Netherfield Park house party.
This illustration would seem to depict "The Bridge of Sighs" or possibly "The Beast of Burden", as described in Winter evening pastimes; or, The merry-maker's companion. Continue reading Parlour Games
A Jane Austen Christmas by Maria Grace- A Review
Award winning regency author Maria Grace has pulled out the stops this season, delivering A Jane Austen Christmas in time for holiday gift giving (and receiving!) Eager to beef up my own knowledge of Regency holiday traditions, I ordered this little volume the first week of December, based on the preview given on Amazon.com. Imagine my surprise, then, at finding our own site listed as a resource (accessed according to the time stamp, only weeks before) in the very extensive bibliography given. It is clear that this was a "full steam ahead" project from the Austen oriented "White Soup Press". Continue reading A Jane Austen Christmas by Maria Grace- A Review
Create a Jane Austen Honeycomb Ornament
I recently discovered Amanda Lee's amazing blog, House Revivals, and was immediately drawn to how she uses recycled (upcycled) books and pages in her projects. The following ornament can be made from any paper or pages, but think how special it would be when made with pages from Austen's own works!
To create this bit of Christmas joy, you'll need 24 pages or pieces of paper, scissors, craft glue, glitter and trims.
Begin by folding each sheet in half. Decide what shape you want your final ornament to be (round, oval, tear drop, etc.) and draw *half* of the design on the folded paper, with the fold becoming the center of the opened template. You can fold and cut several pieces at a time to save effort.
Visions of Sugar Plums
With Clement C. Moore's 1823 poem, A Visit from Saint Nicholas, we all now associate "Sugar Plums" with Christmas. In this early American depiction of Christmas Eve, we find the trappings of modern Christmas, from stockings to Jolly old Saint Nick, himself, round, red and fur trimmed, slipping up the chimney after leaving piles of presents for the children, "asleep in their beds, while visions of Sugar Plums dance in their heads."
So what did a Regency Sugar Plum look like? The 1914 OED describes it thus, "Sugar-plum – A small round or oval sweetmeat, made of boiled sugar and variously flavoured and coloured; a comfit".
"Plum" in the name of this confection does not mean plum in the sense of the fruit of the same name. At one time, "plum" was used to denote any dried fruit. Modern "Sugar plums" may be made from any combination of dried plums (aka prunes), dried figs, dried apricots, dried dates, and dried cherries, but traditional sugar plums contain none of these.
The word came in general usage in 1600s, when adding layers of sweet which give sugar plums and comfits their hard shell was done through a slow and labour intensive process called panning. Until the mechanization of the process, it often took several days, thus the sugar plum was largely a luxury product. In fact in the 18th century the word plum became a British slang for a big pile of money or a bribe.
Georgian Sugar Plums, then, looked much more like today's Jordan Almonds, than anything else. Theodore Garrett, author of The Encyclopaedia of Practical Cookery (1890) notes that "These are described under CARAWAY COMFITS, a more elaborate variety of them being known as DRAGÉES OR FRENCH SUGAR PLUMS…small strips of cinnamon [can also be] made to start off French Sugar Plums.
William Alexis Jarrin, author of The Italian Confectioner; Or, Complete Economy of Desserts, According to the Most Modern and Approved Practice, 1829, details the process, thus:
