I purchased the step in harness in the smallest size for my less than 9 lb. mini doxie. Print and quality beautiful just one small problem....the stap connecting the two loops is too short for her causing the harness to pull against her front legs so I returned the harness for the next size up. We are anxiously awaiting the replacement. I love the matching leash, especially the padded handle.

I bought the cherry blossom pattern and find it to be lovely and pleasing to the eye. I like the padded handle. The snap is small, a plus because it is not heavy or clanging against the tags as we walk, a minus because it is difficult for my 86 yr old father to work. Would be nice if older folks and those with arthritic fingers could have an option for an easier-to-work clip on a leash for a small dog, which is the size most senior citizens adopt. I love the three matching items I ordered and will recommend LupinePet to all my "dog-owned"

Love this harness. Easy to get on/off my havanese. My dog is not so much a chewer of items that are not bones but love the fact that if she does they will replace it. I highly recommend this product.
Posted by Sally on 17th Dec 2013
I was so excited to receive my new wraparound harness, I put it on my puppy and left the room for only a couple of minutes. Upon my return I was so upset that my puppy had chewed the new harness. I took it off and with some embarrassment returned it for replacement. To my surprise I received the new harness within the week. I really like all products that I have purchased from Lupine. I love the guarantee.

Recently started walking my small dog and the harness keeps her safe and secure. Great product!!

I lie in bed
as you talk to her
No sounds
While I'm
You go to your bedroom
I am still
I hear the two of you
In bed, in your room
But I'm still
Next, I hear the bed groan
she moans
And I'm still
She screams
You yell
I am still
I know the pleasure
You're giving her
I know it well
That's why I'm
Time passes
You come out
Out side my door
You stand
My doorknob turns
There you stand
Much older now
Not a young man
For years I've waited
And I'm waiting still
Your wife can never know
We can never tell.
Our secret, hurt her,
surely it will
So, I'll keep
My lover
Until the day.
When no one's near
And we can freely play
I'm still
You walk over to me and
I lie back
Spread my thighs and
You give me the most intimate kiss
My body quivers.
I know it's wrong.
When we started, I can't remember.
You take me to heights,
I've never known.
So good, so hot, I want to moan
Can't make a sound,
Must stay quiet
You love me like no other
I wish we didn't have to hide,
But for now
I'll keep

Burlington Bees Bark In The Park 2013
Burlington, IA (May 31, 2013) – The Burlington Bees are happy to announce that Bark in the Park will be held on Sunday, June 9th when the Bees play a doubleheader against Beloit at 1 PM.
Bark in the Park allows fans to bring "man's best friend" to Community Field for a great day of baseball and fun! The Des Moines County Humane Society and P.A.W.S. of Lee County will have dogs that are up for adoption as well. Allgood Animal Hospital, Horse and Hound, Pet Safe of the Tri-State, and Summer Street Animal Clinic of Burlington; Coral Reef of West Burlington; Northeast Animal Hospital of Mt. Pleasant; and Hometown Veterinary Clinic of New London will also be in attendance.
In addition, the famous "Jake the Diamond Dog" act will be at Community Field that day. The golden retriever travels to ballparks all around the country entertaining fans by serving as bat boy, taking bottled water to the umpires between innings, and doing various tricks.
All dogs that attend the game that day must be on a leash at all times. There is no admission for the dogs and water stations will be available. Please contact the Bees at (319) 754-5705 if you have any questions.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - Braves starter Jo-Jo Reyes gave up one run in two innings, struck out a batter and didn't walk anyone in the Braves 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Mets on Monday.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - The Atlanta Braves renewed outfielder Jeff Francoeur's contract for the second year in a row Monday after failing to agree on terms on a long-term deal.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Peter Moylan stands next to his locker in the Atlanta Braves clubhouse, going over an inventory of tattoos running the length of each arm.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Hiroki Kuroda made his Los Angeles Dodgers debut, minus the Elvis Presley costume.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Kelly Johnson is a lot more relaxed this spring.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Atlanta Braves pitcher Mike Hampton said he feels 100 percent and isn't ready to retire anytime soon despite having started only 12 games in the majors in 2005 and missing all of 2006 and 2007 while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. Hampton has made eight trips to the disabled list since he was traded to Atlanta in 2002 with injuries to his left elbow, his back, his left forearm and his right calf.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- John Schuerholz is wandering toward the Atlanta Braves dugout when a fan shouts out a request.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - When John Smoltz spotted the dirty uniform creeping into the space in front of his locker, he playfully pushed it back toward Tom Glavine's side.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Yunel Escobar had to flee his homeland on a rickety boat.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Jair Jurrjens was only 6 years old when his father passed on a family tradition.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Mike Hampton rubs down the ball, stares toward home plate and delivers a pitch that sweeps across the outside corner. Mark Kotsay never gets the bat off his shoulder.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Chipper Jones doesn't have to be here. No one would have complained if the former NL MVP didn't show until Wednesday, when the Atlanta Braves hold their first full-squad workout of spring training.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Jeff Bennett still gets those cravings for anything chocolate. Then he looks at himself in the mirror.
CLEARWATER, Fla. - Brandon Beachy became the second straight Atlanta starting pitcher forced to leave early, exiting the Braves' 8-1 win over Philadelphia on Monday because of tightness around his right elbow.
CLEARWATER, Fla. - Brandon Beachy became the second straight Atlanta starting pitcher forced to leave early, exiting the Braves' 8-1 win over Philadelphia on Monday because of tightness around his right elbow.

"Many bugs, but can be used well"
Version: Camera Viewer 1.1.1
Actually works without crashing (major + in this category)
Easy to install and set up; can in fact be removed (see manufacturer reply to last comment)Cons
Motion detection doesn't work, even when overridden. Always continuous records. Try holding mouse down ahead of seeker to review it all faster.
No online functions; you must sync it yourself.
Saturday often overwrites Friday. Delete your files often.Summary
(Cons continued)
Also beware that if you "copy schedule," your radio button settings won't carry over. Do that manually.
The files are a weird XML/JPEG hybrid of picture and video I have not seen before. Luckily they have a viewer I mentioned above.
Also, if you start up the program with a camera disconnected, you'll lose all your customized settings for that camera. Make sure you don't do that.
All in all, if you can combine this with a form of Online file sync, maybe with FTP, you can make a reliable yet cumbersome security system for your home. I haven't seen it crash, but it has overwritten some files near the weekend, so if you don't delete files daily, you can lose a little peace of mind.
Many of the other "free" options are in fact worse, often are not free and may not function at all, so at the time this is the software I am using. -
Version: Camera Viewer 1.1.1
This will install to an unknown directory without warning!
Difficult to remove!

You have an 11-yr-old willing to work? Hang on to him!
Seniors always need help with this or that. They usually will think up something for a kid to do just to have somebody to hang out with. It wd be good for him as well.Children who will sit and listen to older people learn much. Maybe u could visit the local church and see if they have any (Kind and Normal) seniors who are shut-ins. Have him go in do a little dishes, make sandwhiches, and hand them the remote. lol. *They do love their shows.* I did it when I was a youngster and loved it very much.
Rake leaves, clean out someones shed/garage, wash cars, walk dogs, etc.
Many people will pay him to mow lawns even with their own mower.
I think a company should open a new type of job for kid ages 10-14 and pay at least $7 an hr.
well u could wrap a towel round your head then go out side and give fortunes to people for like a pound or something
I know babysitting is something young girls usually do to earn money, but he's at the right age to start babysitting if that was something he wouldn't mind doing. Also, he could look into tutoring his peers...the ones who may be having trouble in a subject that he is an expert in. I don't know, just my suggestions! I hope he finds something soon!
Have him do your everyday life skills type of chours, and then slide him a few bucks. I was in and out of trouble as a kid, but unlike my friends, I started working at age 12, so by the time I was 18 I had way more experience and a stronger work ethic.
Lemonade stand?
How about, light cleaning for neighbors - using their stuff (washing windows, dishes, etc)? (Mowing lawns is also a possibility if they have their own mower.)
house cleaning?

Fields Medalist Vaughan Jones Joins the Department
Vaughan Jones has accepted a faculty position as Distinguished Professor with the Department of Mathematics beginning in the fall of 2011. A preeminent mathematician who comes to Vanderbilt from the University of California, Berkeley, Jones will be a tremendous addition to the department's already strong research group in operator algebras.
Jones' contributions to mathematics have their origins in his work on subfactors, inclusions of certain highly noncommutative algebras of operators on Hilbert space known as von Neumann algebras. Von Neumann algebras were introduced by the legendary John von Neumann in the 1920s in his investigations of quantum physics, ergodic theory, and group representation theory. They were the central objects of Alain Connes' work in the '70s that led to his Fields Medal in 1982, the first one in operator algebras.
Jones introduced in the early '80s a notion of index for a von Neumann subalgebra (or a subfactor) and found that indices of subfactors take on only very special values. He discovered that this totally unexpected rigid behavior was related to the existence of a new braid group representation that comes with each subfactor. Jones used his representation to construct a new polynomial invariant for knots and links, now called the Jones polynomial. This amazing discovery led to a whole new branch of modern mathematics, perhaps most adequately called quantum topology. Jones' work paved the way to many new and exciting interactions between a priori widely separate areas of mathematics and physics, including statistical mechanics, conformal field theory, knot theory, low dimensional topology, von Neumann algebra theory, quantum groups, representation theory, category theory, and quantum computing. His most recent work on subfactors, planar algebras, and random matrix theory has uncovered many new and beautiful structures and connections and has generated a lot of interest and excitement among researchers in the above-mentioned areas.
In 1990, Jones received the Fields Medal for his work. The Fields Medal is awarded once every four years to mathematicians not over 40 years of age for outstanding discoveries in mathematics. It is widely viewed as the Nobel Prize of mathematics.
Jones has received many honors for his work in addition to the Fields Medal. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1990 and has also been elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences (1999), the American Academy of Arts and Science (1993), and the Norwegian Royal Society of Letters and Sciences (2001). He received the Onsager Medal (2000), the Prix Mondial Nessim Habif (2007) and is a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (2009). He holds many honorary doctorate degrees from universities all over the world.
Jones will be a member of the Department of Mathematics' Center for Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras, directed by Professor and Department Chair Dietmar Bisch. This group includes about 20 faculty members, students and postdoctoral researchers whose research interests are in von Neumann algebras, subfactors and planar algebras, operator algebraic K-theory, coarse geometry, index theory, and several other related fields. The center organizes the annual Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras Spring Institute, directed by Professor Alain Connes.
``We are thrilled that Vaughan will join the mathematics department,'' says Chair Dietmar Bisch, who has collaborated with Jones for more than 15 years. ``His presence will enhance our research profile enormously and give students and postdocs a chance to learn from one of the foremost mathematicians.''
Professor Jones is scheduled to teach a course on subfactors and planar algebras in fall 2011.

On one occasion we exported to DWG format from Revit with this IFC file open and got nested Block within Blocks... nested inside were Polyface Meches.
Then we tweaked the export options to export as 3dsolid and not Polyface Meches and got Blocks within Blocks... nested inside were Bodies...
The bodies file version was several times larger than the polyfaces meches... but the file with the polyface meshes was still quite large.
Is there any option to force export as, (given this case), 3dSolids and not Meches or Bodies?... the goal of which is to have the lightest weight 3d file as possible.
Your thoughts?
Have you tried exporting it using the ACIS Solids?
Export to ACIS solids in DWG format:
File>Export>CAD Formats>DWG
In the Export dialog box>Modifiy the "Select Export Setup"
In the "Solids" tab> ACIS solids
Back to the Export dialog box>Export> Select the 3D views to export.
Hope that helps.
Yes we did try ACIS Solids... I think we got 3d Polyface Meshes even though we requested ACIS 3d Solids. I did see a blurb on a forum post about first saving as a Revit Project. Before this we didn't first save the project...
Can you confirm the export is different whether you export with or without SaveAs a Revit Project first? Remember the question is in relation to IFC Format.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels will miss his scheduled start Wednesday against the New York Mets due to a gastrointestinal illness.
In his place, rookie Tyler Cloyd will be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and will make the first start of his major league career.
Cloyd was named the International League's Most Valuable Starting Pitcher, posting a 12-1 record in 22 starts for the IronPigs. In 142 innings, the 25- year-old right-hander has tallied 93 strikeouts and just 38 walks, while pitching to a 2.35 ERA.
Hamels is 14-6 with a 2.99 ERA in 25 starts this season.

text: (The fallen light) Story's getting old, replayed memories, It seems that you were dying. I hope that you died smiling, So now are you happy? Happy that you left me in your dust! Don't worry, it's the thought that counts. So, how should I show my affection, my slow progression? A dying regression of hope for the world. And this is how I'll hide my sorrow, Praying that it rains tomorrow, angels weep as you're forgotten. I can't remove these scars, carving out these memories has become a part of life. Memories hurt more, memories of you, sinking deeper, deeper into your eyes. You look so peaceful... Here's my rose and the promise that I can't forget. The promise with your name on it.

Lord Lansdowne to Bentham."July, 1785. "Dear Mr Bentham,—I had a headache yesterday and the day before, which made it impossible for me to write. I send you all which I have been able to write to-day. I have desired the Abbé Morellet to give you letters for Lyons and Marseilles, as he has very good connexions in both places. I have desired Mons. Rayneval to give you one for the French ambassador at Constantinople. You must take your chance about Dijon, Genoa, and Montpellier; though, I dare say, Mons. Rayneval will give you letters for them if you can find a proper moment to ask him. I will take my chance of to-morrow's post finding you with three letters,—one for Rouen, another for Mons. Torryel, a celebrated lawyer at Paris,—and another, upon my own account, to the Abbé Morellet. "I beg to assure you that you go with the affectionate good wishes of all this family. Lady Lansdowne and Miss F— desire me to mention them particularly. My last advice to you is, upon no account to be taken in, to stay among barbarians: they can make you no offer worth your acceptance, except they were to name you ambassador to China—I own that would tempt me. Come back soon, and bring your brother with you, if he does not get a provision, ample enough to live upon here, in a few years, and as well secured as the Bank of England. In the meantime get into no intrigues to serve either English or Russian; no, not even with a handsome lady, if any politics should be mixed with it; for I have said in all the material letters, that I would be answerable for every part of your conduct, public or private. "The Abbé Morellet may possibly offer to carry you to Mons. Rayneval; but, in your place, I would go alone; but don't say I advised you to do so. "I have told Sir H. M— that you would write me an account of his health. "I will send you a line for Blankett in case you meet with him. "The post is going; and I must defer the rest till to-morrow. "I am, very truly, yours,"Lansdowne." The same sentiments are repeated in another letter:— "The bearer, Captain Williamson, appears to me a very intelligent person. He has been last year at Constantinople, and the Greek Islands; and I thought it might be agreeable to you to make his acquaintance, which has made me desire him to call on you. "I hope my servant told you, as I had not time to write as I intended, that we would have kept the Voyages de la Grèce, to be bound, before we sent them; but, as you will carry them on board ship, I thought it might be agreeable to you to have them half-bound in some fashion of your own, that might make them more portable. "I hope you will have the goodness to present a sword from me to your brother, which you must pass for your own, to avoid the custom-houses through which you pass. Although a Russian colonel, I hope he will accept an English sword. I do assure you, that we are all (Miss F— included, who is sitting by me) concerned for your going, independent of the loss of your company, which we always have considered as a resource, when the interested and the factious deserted us. We are apprehensive that you will lend yourself to some plan which interested and ignorant people may open to you; and after detaining and robbing you of time—which may be more reputably, at least, if not more usefully to yourself employed—may desert you. This observation applies equally to your brother's situation. I told Count Woronzow that I meant, if I had continued in administration, to have placed him in some advantageous situation here. Count Woronzow knows him, and wishes to see you. If you please, make use of my name to him. "I am obliged to write in great haste, because Captain W. and a good deal of company are by, and waiting for it.—Ever yours, "Lansdowne." Bentham left England in the beginning of August 1785. He had engaged a passage for Smyrna, on board the Mary Frances, Captain Richard Brine, which was to sail for Smyrna from London, and Topsham, on the 20th June for Nice; where Bentham, who travelled overland through Paris and France, was to meet her. A remittance of £500 was sent to Bentham from Prince Potemkin, with a request that "a clever man" might be forwarded to the Crimes. A person was found, named Henderson, on the recommendation, I believe, of Mr Playfair, the brother of the late professor; and Bentham determined to accompany him to Crichoff, the spot on which his brother was established. The man's morals do not appear to have been of the purest, although he was apt at acquiring knowledge, and had botanical information, which was especially wanted. He cohabited with a person who was intended to manage a dairy, which Potemkin proposed to establish on that magnificent style which was then growing into fashion in England. Two routes were discussed: the northern, by the Baltic,—the southern, by Constantinople. The southern was chosen, in order that they might have the advantage of seeing a greater variety of botanical gardens in their way. Potemkin paid the expenses of the parties selected by Bentham,—two women and a man; but Bentham paid his own. The three subordinates were despatched to Paris "to learn what they could," and then to wait for Bentham, who followed a fortnight after. "This was at the period of the birth of chemistry," he said; "and the phosphoric matches lately invented, charmed me so much, that I wrote a poem, inquiring how the world could have gone on so long without these admirable light-givers." Bentham left his affairs at home "rather at sixes and sevens;" and at Paris, being without any useful introductions, seems to have visited only two or three people, whose conduct was more seemingly courteous to him, than generally creditable to themselves. Among them was one whom Bentham mentioned as the prototype of the Quinze Anglais, who were represented as the pillagers of their countrymen. A French lady was very desirous of recommending Bentham to Lady Craven; but he declined the honour. At this period, as throughout his life, a strong curiosity was tempered and controlled by an unusual bashfulness. He had corresponded with D'Alembert; but had not courage enough to visit him. Among the few persons he made acquaintance with at Paris was R— M—, who had been bred a physician. He was pulling the devil by the tail, and snatching at whatever he could from his rich brother. He accompanied Bentham to Versailles, where the king was then living. Rayneval, who had been receiving kindness from Bentham two years before, was there; and in addition to that claim upon him, Bentham had recommendatory letters from Lord Lansdowne to him, and anticipated a hearty welcome. Instead of welcome, he found coldness: no invitation,—but a letter proffered for Count Choiseul, at Constantinople, was accepted by Bentham,—which letter merely said, that the bearer was held in estimation by Lord Lansdowne. R— M— was a forward man, whose habit was to take everybody under his command, and talk dogmatically, interlarding his conversation with a perpetual "ecoutez—ecoutez." He contrived to use others for his own glorification; and insisted on going to Versailles with Bentham, ostensibly for the purpose of escorting him; but really for the purpose of introducing himself, though he was meanly clad, and looked like a man in distress. As to the language, Bentham was perfectly at home in France. He had so accurate a knowledge of French, that he wrote it with great purity and ease. He was not embarrassed for a choice of words, as the language has few synonymes, or quasi-synonymes,—though he felt, as everybody feels, the irregularities and the imperfections of many of their verbs. German he had also studied. A voiturier conducted the party, partly by land and partly by water, to Lyons, whence they descended the Rhone: its rapid stream delighted Bentham. His attention was naturally interested by the Pont St Esprit, and by the ruins of Nismes, which he visited on his way. "I remembered, too," he said, "the Journal de Tréveux, the periodical of the Jesuits, as we passed through that town." At Cette, which he visited, the extraordinary cheapness of living surprised him; and he was much gratified by a party of Frenchmen at a coffee-house, who insisted on the pleasure of treating him, because he was an English stranger. They proceeded to Antibes,—thence, by water in a felucca, to Nice, and thence to Genoa, where they were "land-bound or business-bound" for two or three weeks without any letters. A Genoese, however, of the name of Vignon, treated Bentham with great civility, and took much trouble to make his visit an instructive one. They next came to Leghorn; and Bentham left for Florence, to deliver letters to Sir H— M—, with which he had been furnished by Lord Lansdowne. Sea voyages were not much to Bentham's liking. "I was not sick;" said he, "but I was in a state of enmity with everybody around me, and thinking whether any enjoyment that was to come would repay me for the annoyance I felt." Sir H— was an oddity. Bentham dined at his house every day, and every day eat ortolans; but he never sat at table. He had been a sort of gambling country squire, who had run out considerable property he possessed in Kent, and whose habits easily explained his embarrassments. Bentham was also recommended to Fontana, the writer on poisons, whose reception was cold and supercilious. He was then engaged in teaching chemistry to some of the emperor's children. Bentham heard somebody inquire, "Che uomo è questo?" (what man is this?) and his answer was, "Eun orso Inglese!" (it is an English bear.) But he gratified Bentham by showing him a beautiful collection of wax anatomical preparations. From Florence, Bentham returned to the vessel. "In passing through the Straits," said he, "I looked for Scylla and Charybdis, but saw neither—nor did I hear the barking dogs." Sicily exhibited the vestiges of an earthquake, with which it had just before been visited. They passed among the Greek islands, specks rising inexplicably out of the ocean—no! not the ocean—the Mediterranean sea. A new passenger joined the party—a surgeon, who had outrun the constable, and who got on board the vessel to escape the pursuit of his creditors. He was pennyless, and thrown on the wide world. He challenged Bentham to play at billiards with him, when they arrived at Smyrna, and having lost, no money had he to pay. At Smyrna, Bentham remained a month. A Jew, whom he was in the habit of calling "the virtuous Jew,"—pleasant, modest, intelligent, and disinterested,—accompanied him to the interesting sights of Smyrna, and Bentham invited him to England, assuring the Jew that he would exercise all hospitality towards him, but could not persuade him to promise. A Turkish garden was among the curiosities to which the Jew found access for Bentham. It was a sort of orchard of vines and other trees, without order or apparent arrangement. From that garden, Bentham sent specimens of the Sultana raisin to England, which he believed to have been the first of that species which had ever reached this country. In France, they have been of late years extensively cultivated, and bear the name of "Chasselas de Fontainbleau." From several of the merchants of Smyrna, Bentham experienced many courtesies; and in his memoranda, I find the names of Lee and Morier mentioned—names very familiar to oriental travellers and oriental students. On leaving Smyrna, the vessel put into a small port in the gulf near Chesme, in ancient Phocia. There was a large stone with a Greek inscription in a sort of public place. While occupied in copying it, a message was sent for him from the principal judge of the place, who, in consequence of his being so occupied, supposed him to be an Effendi; and Bentham was conducted to the Court of Judicature, where the judge received him with marked distinction. A Frenchman, who spoke Italian, acted as interpreter between Bentham and the Turkish judge, who, by way of displaying his learning, brought forth a folio volume on geography in Arabic, of which he displayed a map, and undertook to show from whence the Russian fleet had sailed, which had encountered the Turks in the last war, but he pointed out Archangel instead of Petersburg. "He told me, too, there was a prophecy, that the Turkish power would be upset by a Christian power;—a prophecy likely to bring about its own fulfilment." The vessel which conveyed Bentham, was a Turkish vessel, taking her first voyage. He had no servant, but he made acquaintance with a German-Russian who had, and his conversation was very instructive. Henderson was on board with the two young women, one of whom was insipid and innoxious—the other a thorn in Bentham's side, and a rod of iron over Henderson's head. They were eight passengers in all. They found on board a singular personage in man's attire, of whom they knew nothing, and divers hypotheses were mooted respecting him. He was made the interpreter of the party, and they called him the Dragoman. There were many fine young men on board, but the ladies reported them to be covered with vermin—"they being," said Bentham, "more scrutinizing in that way." There was a young Mahommedan priest, whose religious chants interested the voyagers. The food was prepared in the Turkish style, and was minced by an instrument consisting of two knives in the shape of half-moons. The cabin, though well suited to the Turks, who were almost always squatted on their haunches, was, from its lowness, wretchedly inconvenient to the Christian infidels, none of whom could stand upright in it. The cabin did not offer much to instruct or amuse Bentham, and he generally abandoned it in the evening when the Turks collected there. He had a small bed at the cabin door; and I have heard him mention, that one night a violent storm arose, and he was summoned to quit his bed in consequence of the danger—"but I thought," he added, "that nothing I could do would be of any use in saving us, and I went quietly to sleep, having comforted myself with the reflection, that if I were to be drowned, to be drowned asleep was the best way of drowning; and I slept as soundly that night as on any night before or after." The vessel, however, was badly constructed, heavily laden, and even when there was no storm, the waters often washed the deck. One phenomenon annoyed Bentham greatly. While seated round the table, showers of maggots fell. He could not explain the mystery. It was the raining of the Egyptian plague; and one person was constantly employed in gathering up the nuisances and throwing them away. He at last discovered that a quantity of dates which hung over their head was the cause of the grievance. "The German-Russian sometimes catered and provided new dishes: among other things he gave us fish, preserved in oil and vinegar; and we returned his courtesies by some civilities or other." They landed at Scio, where the women came round the travellers, calling out "Inglese! Inglese!—buono! buono!" and offered to kiss my hands. "I wanted," said Bentham, "to kiss theirs; but they were seeking, not kisses, but paras." The vegetable scenery struck Bentham much—it was of a nature wholly new to him: palm trees, which he saw for the first time,—though he looked in vain for the orange groves. He reached the town by a walk of half a mile; by the side of which were stunted bushes of a succulent, or, to use his own phrase, "quasi-succulent character." The streets were too narrow for carriages, and served to exclude the rays of the sun. A storm blew them, as it blew the apostle, into Mitylene; a small harbour, in the middle of which was a rock, two or three feet out of the water, which it required no little dexterity to steer by in safety. Bentham landed in a boat, and went into the fields, where abounded the intertwined narrow-leafed myrtles, Oleanders, and Agnus Castus. I remember hearing Bentham say, that in this Mitylene ramble he gathered botanical instruction by perceiving the fondness of the Oleander for marshy ground, which induced him ever after to give abundance of water to the Oleanders in his own garden—a garden, by the way, of which he was exceedingly fond, and in which he walked for an hour or two every day. It was the same garden in which Milton had often walked before, and which was, throughout Bentham's happy life, a perpetual source of happiness to him. And, by the way, I cannot passover the love of flowers, which, I have already said, distinguished Bentham, without remarking that the distribution through the world of useful and beautiful plants and fruits, was one of his habitual occupations. His correspondence is full of suggestions for the introduction of new vegetable productions. He sent seeds from England to various parts of the globe. He directed the attention of his friends in distant regions to the collection and transmission of seeds from all parts. Where they had no botanical knowledge, he desired them to send all they could gather together; and especially, in lands little known, to reject no seeds because they appear to be in abundance; and he cautioned them against supposing, that because a vegetable grew in large quantities in one country, that it might not be very rare and very acceptable in another. He used to remark, that Botany was one of the most beneficent of sciences, as it lent itself to a boundless diffusion of new enjoyments. The usual vicissitudes of a sea-life accompanied the voyagers. They passed a Venetian ship, the sails of which were shattered all to pieces. They expected her to founder, but she reached her port in safety. But they sailed close to a vessel that had foundered. The Turks, while the passengers walked backwards and forwards, used to come and eye the English girls, who gave them lumps of white sugar, which gratified them much, as they were in the habit of using sugar as a sweatmeat. The amusement of the passengers generally was to throw a sort of trident or harpoon at the fish they saw, and they thus killed many. Bentham and the English passengers quitted the Turkish vessel on falling in with an English ship, by which they were conveyed to Constantinople. Having reached the sea of Marmora, a tempest drove them back on the Asiatic coast, to a place called Kimid, where they spent a night. On reimbarking, the ship was found surrounded by floating masses, which, on inquiry, turned out to be wine in skins, the cargo of a vessel which had gone to wreck. The storm was violent—the lightning so vivid, and the flashes succeeding one another so rapidly, that the period of light lasted longer than that of darkness. Bentham suffered somewhat from sea-sickness, but not enough to prevent his reading, and he employed himself in the study of the laws of Italy. He had letters to the Imperial Internuncio at Constantinople (whose name was Herbert) from Baron Regesfeld, secretary to the Imperial Legation here, and who had lived a longer time in England than in his own country. He had also a letter from Lord Lansdowne to Sir Robert Ainslie, who had been a wine merchant, and another to Count Choiseul Gouffin, from Rayneval, who had come with the French ambassador to make the peace of 1783. The Count was related to the Duke de Choiseul, and had written a pompous book about Turkey. Bentham was received very kindly by the Internuncio, and dined with him several times. His beautiful little daughter, then nine years old, charmed Bentham much. She was introduced as a universal linguist, and spoke eight or nine languages. Bentham took the child in his arms, upon which she screamed aloud, and her mother took the matter up in mighty dudgeon. At that period, as now, the whole of the diplomatic body inhabited Pera, the other end of Constantinople; but had their country houses at Buyukdere, a high promontory beautifully situated, and overlooking the Black sea. Bentham there fell in with Eton, who had written a book on Turkey. He introduced Bentham to the Russian Minister, Bulgakow, in whom Bentham expected to find nothing better than a Calmuc barbarian, but he was a man of singularly handsome person, not to be distinguished from the best educated of Europeans. At his hôtel, however, though they dined between one and two o'clock, the guests were accustomed, even on occasion of great entertainments, to play at cards long before they sat down to dinner. Bentham remarked a prodigious variety of dishes, and was flattered by the attentions shown him, and the seat of honour that was given him. The minister talked with enthusiasm of his country; and said that the snow and ice of Russia were more brilliant than the snow and ice of other countries. Bentham suffered in the opinion of the minister by not calling on him after the entertainment. The fault was partly in his natural timidity, partly in his ignorance of the manners of the world, which his narrow, and as he always called it, his "miserable education," had left behind it. The same feelings prevented his delivering his introductions to Count Choiseul. The women who have been before referred to, added not a little to Bentham's embarrassment, and with good reason. He called them "strange cattle," and knew not how to get rid of the encumbrance. At Sir Robert Ainslie's, there was living Sir R—W—, who had made himself ridiculous and celebrated by exhibiting his wife naked. Who was the Gyges to this English Candaules, I do not recollect to have heard; but his lady played a part very different from that of the Lydian queen,—for she recompensed her husband by making him a cuckold instead of a corpse. Sir R—had little to recommend him. He was, according to Bentham's notes—haughty, selfish, and mean. Another Englishman of the name of Cadogan, connected with a family of rank, was staying at the British Embassy. Bentham retained a long remembrance of a discourtesy, by which they excluded him from a party which crossed the Bosphorus, to visit the mosque of St Sophia, having obtained the necessary authority; but perhaps his acknowledged backwardness and taciturnity may have been the cause. Ainslie, in conversation, was forcible and eloquent—though violent and pompous. He prided himself vastly on his dignity, and offended people by his braggadocio style. The Dutch ambassador being to be presented for the first time to the Sultan, Bentham was invited to accompany the diplomatic body to the palace, and he mounted on horseback with the rest, in a court dress, accoutred with bag and sword. One man only of all the cortége understood Turkish—a knowledge of the language of the court to which they are accredited, forming no part of diplomatic education, at least for English representatives, whose ignorance of the languages of the countries to which they are accredited is often as notorious as pernicious. In the hall of ceremony were many of the Turkish officers of state—among them was Hassan Pacha, who commanded the navy, and with whom Bentham's brother (Sir Samuel) had afterwards, while in the Russian service, a sharp warlike encounter. The company dined in the seraglio; but none, except the ambassadors, were admitted to the presence of the sultan. Round tables were set out for the guests—who were thus distributed in small parties, and one officer of dignity was attached to each. The dining place was spacious, somewhat like the old King's Bench, but larger. In the seraglio trees were growing here and there, and among them a beautiful mimosa. The dishes were in great variety, each one worse than the rest. They were piled one upon another like dumb waiters. A spoon was given to each person, and he fed himself from the common dish. The style was altogether barbarous. Bentham could hardly suppress a laugh, when he thought of the oddity of his own position, and this made him uneasy during the whole of the meal. The different officers attended, bearing bags of piastres, ostentatiously exhibiting their wealth; but had the bags been full of stones, said Bentham, we should have been never the wiser, for not one of them dreamed of exhibiting the contents to our view. Bentham got an indigestion as a recompense for his courtly curiosity; but a more civilised and congenial dinner provided by the Dutch ambassador, set matters to rights. Bentham had brought with him two sliding pencils, which were then a new invention, and he gave one to a diplomatist at table. Afterwards, when on the banks of the Danube, the great man of one of the towns saw the other pencil, which "excited his concupiscence"—and he asked Bentham to give it him; but it was too precious to part with, and all the great man got was a great quantity of regrets. Bentham lived at Constantinople with a merchant of the name of Humphries, and stayed there between five or six weeks. Under the same roof were Henderson and the two women. On mentioning this matter, Bentham said, "God knows what stories they told of me; but Humphries began to look on me coldly. I presented him with a book, but he declined to accept it. I could not understand him then; but some years after, my brother told me he had never seen an example of a hatred so intense as these women bore me." There was another family from which Bentham received abundant kindness; but as a sad history of shame and sorrow is connected with it, it will not be desirable to mention names. I was thrown some years ago into the company of a lady of the family, whose tale of distress I had heard from Bentham's lips, and received from her the following account of the impressions he had made upon her mind at Constantinople, which will serve to throw light upon this part of the narrative. "I do not remember precisely how long Mr Bentham remained at Constantinople: I think certainly not more than two months. He was a very constant visiter at my father's house; but he resided, I think, with a Mr Humphries, an English resident merchant. There were no inns, or lodging-houses, in the city at that time. He was particularly fond of music, and used to take great delight in accompanying me on the violin. I well remember that he used to say, that I was the only female he had ever met with who could keep time in playing; and that music, without time, was to him unbearable. We went through together some pieces of Schobert, Schrocter, Sterkel, Eichner, and of other composers who were then most in vogue—all of which he played at sight, and with ease. He seemed to take great pleasure in my society, though I certainly never received from him any particular mark of attention which might not have been equally shown to one of his own sex. Indeed, not the slightest idea of any particular partiality, on his part, ever came across my mind. He was then about thirty-seven years of age, but he did not look so old. I have also impressed on my memory, that I obtained his commendation for my preference of works in prose to those of poetry: the reading of which, he asserted to be a great misapplication of time. I imagine, that at that period he was seldom excited to bring forward, or discuss, any of those subjects to which he afterwards so wholly and so successfully devoted himself. Had any conversations of that nature taken place in my presence, all traces of the purport of them would most assuredly, even at this time, not have been obliterated from my memory. "I cannot positively assert that he brought a letter of recommendation to my father; but I know that he performed the voyage (from Smyrna, at least) in company with a Mr Henderson, who presented himself to as with a letter from a Mr Lee, an English resident merchant at Smyrna, and a particular friend of my father's. "Two young girls, under twenty years of age, accompanied this Mr Henderson, who was a very serious man, and very plausible in his manners. They were introduced as sisters, and his nieces. These ladies, however, were not mentioned in Mr Lee's letter—a circumstance not noticed at the time. "The elder had, to a certain degree, the manners of a lady; but those of the younger—and her appearance coincided—were by no means superior to what might be expected from a poor farmer's daughter. Mr Bentham, as I have before said, was our constant visiter; and at our house he frequently met the Hendersons. "It was not long before that period that the Turkish sultan, Abdul Hamid, and his inefficient and short-sighted ministers, had been wheedled out of their possession of the Crimea by the 'finesse' and eloquence of the able Russian Minister at the Porte, Mons. de Bulgakow. The Empress Catherine, most eager to promote the successful colonization of her newly-acquired territory, had invited a horde of adventurers of all nations, but chiefly Italians, to transfer themselves thither. Among others, Henderson was also enlisted in this service. He had engaged, together with his nieces, to establish a dairy in the English style. It occurs to me now, for the first time, that he might have been brought forward on that occasion under the auspices of Mr Bentham's brother, who was then, I believe, in the Russian military service. But this is only conjecture. When I last saw Mr Bentham, however, he told me that the undertaking had turned out badly, and that Henderson had behaved very ill. "When the time arrived for the departure of these people for the Crimea, the vessel in which they were to embark happened to lie at a considerable distance from the spot where they were dwelling, the suburb of Pera. It was determined they should transfer themselves to it by a short land journey, rather than by the more circuitous trip by sea, along the Bosphorus. A carriage was hired, (a most uncouth vehicle, but the only one which the city afforded.) In this they proceeded to the place of embarkation, escorted by my father and myself, with a servant on horseback. "The wife of the owner of a trading vessel, who had formerly been in my father's service, had been living for some years under our roof, ostensibly, to supply towards me the care and attention of a mother. "At the period of Mr Bentham's presence in Constantinople, the husband of this person, having returned from one of his voyages, was also our inmate. "On the day of our absence with the Hendersons, Mr Bentham paid his usual visit at our house, and was received by this captain and Mrs Newman. In the course of conversation, Mr Bentham (who considered that the Hendersons had now taken their final departure from Constantinople, and felt himself in consequence no longer bound to keep their secrets) divulged that the elder niece was no other than Henderson's mistress, and that the younger was an ignorant country girl, merely hired as a servant. Their surprise was naturally very great—much greater, I believe, than mine would have been; for I had already detected a want of concordance in what they separately told me, at different times, which I could not account for, but which I by no means liked. "We did not return home till late in the evening. We were received at the door by the captain, who could not contain his laughter, and was in a hurry to attack my father about his extraordinary civility, and, as it now appeared, his ludicrous knight-errantry. My father felt ashamed at having been so easily taken in by these ignorant impostors; but he consoled himself with the idea that he had not been their only dupes, since Sir Robert Ainslie, our British ambassador, (following my father's example, I fear,) had formally invited them to a dinner party. Their awkwardness and want of ease, which they could not modify to this sudden emergency, were sufficiently manifest; but it was attributed to English timidity and bashfulness. "But the 'nodo' of this comic drama is still to be developed. Poor Bentham had made his disclosures most prematurely—our friends were not gone—they had, in fact, returned with us,—some impediment had occurred with regard to the sailing of the vessel, which appeared likely to occasion a long delay; and we had to increase the captain's mirth by declaring that they were, even at that moment, again safely housed in their former lodging. "The situation of these people during the remainder of their stay at Constantinople after this little éclaircissement, was, of course, a very mortifying one. My father had to endure his share also, in the laughter of Mr Humphries, and that of his other friends, who would not lose so fair an opportunity of amusing themselves at his expense. We did not see Mr Bentham till the following day, when he seemed rather confounded by the unlucky dénouement of the affair. "I have said that there were no lodging-houses at Constantinople, but I remember that the Hendersons were put in possession of an empty house, in which a few articles of furniture had been put, just sufficient to serve their immediate necessities." Sir R—W—had not initiated himself into Bentham's good graces at Constantinople. He was one of the last men whom he desired to meet. But Sir R. found his way to Crichoff when Bentham was there. A draughtsman, whom Sir R. had employed in Greece, had added considerably to Bentham's unfavourable opinion. That artist accused this baronet of ill-usage—that his commands were given in the style of a bashaw—in a word, that his dependants were in the situation of slaves in the presence of a despot; he even menaced them with the rod and the scourge. Bentham was living with his brother at his small country house, about a mile from Crichoff, when one day notice was brought that Sir R. had arrived, and wished to see him. The colonel was for receiving him—the philosopher was for excusing themselves. However, he was received, and staid a week or two with them. Sir R. travelled with a black Abyssinian boy; but he treated the poor boy with barbarous cruelty, and nobody could be more wretched than he was in his master's presence. Yet Sir R. called him his pet. On one of the tours, the Benthams accompanied Sir R. to General Bander's in a drosky, and he made the boy sit at a little distance; but on arrival at any stage where they stopped, when Sir R. left them, they used to hear the boy crying out piteously "Signor Aga! Signor Aga!" The lad's shrieks and agonies often tormented Bentham. Sir R. was accustomed to boast of his influence with Mr Pitt, and his great expectations from that quarter. He published a book on the antiquities of the Isle of Wight. Strange was his manner of life. He went to Petersburg, where he lived some months with a painter, having the benefit of his canvass, and offered no remuneration. When he was at Constantinople, he bid for some Circassian female slaves, but the price was too high. The following letter to Lord Lansdowne is worth preserving:— |

After the months of build-up and eventual silence from Young Money's Drake - he's addressed the issue that we've all (including myself) asked Big Sean & Ludacris about.
From SOHH.com:
"I've got no issues with him," he says of Future, who was upset that Drake didn't appear in his video, "Tony Montana." "I'm happy I got on the song." Pusha T, who once cryptically rhymed that, "the swag doesn't match the sweaters," gets off easy, too. "I've been really open about my love for the Clipse," he says. "I don't know, maybe that guy is bored." Ludacris, who was accused of stealing Big Sean and Drake's hashtag flow, also receives a halfhearted smack down, "That's a case of someone trying to use my marketing money to get things going again for themselves. That didn't affect my day, my month, my year. I didn't take any of that seriously."

6 Ways to Transform Canned VegetablesDon't let these never-go-bad staples languish in your cupboard. Instead, turn them into delicious main courses and side dishes—in a matter of minutes.
By Lynn Andriani
Photo: Thinkstock
Potatoes: Home Fries in a PinchThose of the canned variety (which are usually new potatoes) are best when you get them a little crispy. Rinse them and then lay on top of paper towels to dry, patting with more towels. Season with whatever spices you like (smoked Spanish paprika is especially good) and then fry in oil with sliced onion and diced red or green pepper.

I am impressed that the target and pjs thread got so much volume so I was curious what everyone's toddlers wear during the summer.
Last summer it seems like DD was either naked (or just in a diaper) with her crocs on all summer unless we were going somewhere.
how much clothing do you require your LO to wear when it is nice outside? We stay in the shade a lot which isn't hard because the yard and big deck are shady so I could care less if DD wants to be naked all day when we are home?
What do you do? The only shoes DD wears during the summer are crocs too, or she is barefoot.

Is bug spray harmful to small animals?
I used some spider killer (CIL Spider Ban) around the window as there was some spiders and webs, then only thought of it after, the chipmunk always hangs around here. Should I be worried that the fumes will harm it or should he be ok? I did not spray to the point that it's leaking all over, but it's slightly wet.
What is a more natural way to take care of spiders and bugs? I hear sunlight works well and is unharmful to animals, is this true? |

Is bug spray harmful to small animals?
well, in my opinion, as long as they're outside, spiders are totally fine. As a biochemist/medical researcher, I must warn you that no pesticide is "safe" dispite what they advertize. Most pesticides have molecular structures that are similar new nerve gas :-o. They kill by paralyzing the animal and stopping them from breathing. Companies get away with saying they're harmless becuase they stick a little methyl group onto a known (usually banned) toxin, and declare it to be a "new chemical that is safe". most of the time, it's basically the same thing.. but science must spend years proving that... In the interim, it's still "safe". This ethically-challenged pesticide marketing game has been going on for over 40 years.......
Both bugs and humans have the same proteins that those sprays target. We douse areas with bug sprays in the hopes that the small bugs get such a large dose (proportionately to their size) that it kills them. Obviously, our huge bodies would need more to be killed. It would work wonderfully if repeated small doses doses didn't do any harm.... alas they do. I write this long-winded post merely to let the other DIY posters know that bug sprays are much more dangerous than the companies let you know. Don't use them indisciminantly. As for myself, I would only call an exterminator if there was an exceptionally dire situation (ex. carpenter ant or termite infestation). I would never use the canned sprays... since it would be on surfaces my family might touch (floors, walls, windows). In the last 5 years, I only purchased a few "hotels". hope this helps |

Helser Brothers Drapery Hardware
Helser Brothers Drapery Hardware first stepped into the drapery hardware business in the mid-eighties as an installer's helper. For the next nine years, they installed draperies independently for design firms and drapery workrooms in the Phoenix, Arizona area. One day, after making their third trip to a local blacksmith to solve the same problem, it hit them, 'If this is how suppliers in this industry behave, we could just smoke them.' That day, the Helser brothers discovered how their unique talents would fit together like puzzle pieces to create the perfect business that they had been seeking. We quickly realized that building drapery rods and hardware is pretty much cake after that kind of experience." The two Helser brothers combined their expertise to manufacture custom drapery hardware, the Helser Way! Both recognized the critical role in which strong manufacturing processes, precision metal working, tight tolerances, and extremely high quality when combined with over-the-top customer service would play. Several key factors play a role in the continued success of Helser Brothers Drapery Hardware. Competitive and simple pricing, guaranteed quick turn-around time, original custom designs, and a six-point check and balance system to ensure clients get exactly what they order each and every time.
