DINWIDDIE - Historians came calling to Dinwiddie County over the weekend in an effort to create a digital collection of Civil War manuscripts.
The Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission and the Library of Virginia have partnered to create a statewide online collection of Civil War manuscripts that remain in private hands.
The Civil War 150 Legacy Project: Document Digitization and Access focuses on manuscript materials created from 1859 to 1867 that reflect life in Virginia during the period of the Civil War and the early period of Reconstruction.
Citizens were encouraged to bring original family materials to be scanned and included in the project.
Scanned materials will be made available online on the web via the Library of Virginia web site and the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission web site.
Project officials came to the Dinwiddie Historic Courthouse on Saturday. And it wasn't the first time in Dinwiddie. Officials from the project initially came to the county in 2011 to scan historic items. The project's goal is to visit each city and county in Virginia twice.

Breakup Weight Gain
May 12, 2010
I do not want to let myself gain weight this time around. At 8 months, Wanda has begun the process of letting me know we're through, at least where my breasts are concerned. She still humors me with a couple of feedings a day and unbeknownst to her I'm still feeding her breast milk disguised as rice cereal but the end is nigh and my butt is making room for major expansion.
There are a lot of different theories about weight gain and breastfeeding. Some people swear that the act of breastfeeding keeps you fat because your body holds on to extra padding as a backup source of nutrients for the baby. The consensus amongst most doctors and dieticians seems to be that breastfeeding is a time where weight loss is more common because the baby is consuming many of the calories you eat.
Whatever the case, one thing has held true for me the last two pregnancies. When I stop breastfeeding, I blow up like a balloon. I think it's because I get used to eating an increased amount of calories while my body's making milk and then I enjoy this extra snacking so much that I keep it up, even if my body doesn't need the energy anymore. At the same time, the baby's still too young to allow much freedom to get out and exercise. The extra energy is then converted into big fat thighs and a belly that jiggles when I jump rope, much to the children's delight.
It's also possible that what I'm experiencing is emotional weight gain. Isn't that what happens when someone breaks up with you? You get depressed, drown your sorrows in Lindt truffles and cheese, desperately trying to fill the emotional void, and end up filling the void in your fat cells instead.
I know she's just growing up and getting her nutritional needs met elsewhere and I recognize that it has its perks. I can be away from her for longer periods of time and if she shows signs of early onset starvation, Dan can throw her a bowl of applesauce to slam. Her recent switch to sleeping through the night for 13 hours at a stretch is also quite pleasant. I just miss all the snuggle time, the squidging and the drinking. It's hard to get her to nurse because everything around her is so very fascinating.
So I'm sad and nostalgic about winding down my mammary work. And I'm nervous about just how high my weight can climb. It's already inching up daily. I know what to do. Eat less. Exercise more. If I do those two things I should be fine but I've tried them in every possible form, Biggest Loser, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Sonoma, South Beach, Green Drink Smoothies, Vegan, Whole Foods, Every Fitness Program Ever Devised, and I just haven't found the will to make it happen.
What do you do to find the motivation to get the baby weight off? Or in my case, what should I do to find the motivation to keep the post-nursing weight off?

Robert P. Murphy is an economist. Apart from independent economic consulting, [1]he is currently working with the Pacific Research Institute (PRI) [2], and is also listed as an economist [3] for a Houston, Texas-based think-tank called the Institute for Energy Research (IER) [4]. [2]
The IER has received over $307,000 [5] in funding from ExxonMobil and $237,000 [6] From Koch Family Foundations. PRI has received over $600,000 [7] from Koch Foundations, and significant donations from Scaife Foundations.
Stance on Climate Change
"Many economists favor some form of government penalty on CO2 emissions because of the threat of climate change. However, the steps in the argument—going from computer simulations to a specific, numerical tax on economic activity today—are riddled with uncertainties." [3]
Key Quotes
"Given the large uncertainties at each major step of the case for reliance on a carbon tax, economists should reconsider their current support for such a policy." [3]
"I reject the peak oil theory insofar as it refers to technological limits on human ingenuity." [4]

Thread: Monte on Logic in RPGs
Friday, 8th June, 2012, 08:18 PM #81
I agree with Monte, but I'd like to add that the argument about tight rules helping bad DMs do an OK job, is a theoretical one that I still haven't actually seen applied in practice.
I think that tight rules don't help bad DMs, no more than loose rules do.
Tight rules with a bad DM requires a lot of going through the books to find the relevant rule, then squibbling over the rules, then discussion of whether this text allows this action or not. It results in endless argument over DM interpretation instead of DM fiat.
The players might say: if I know the rule, I can tell my DM. It's the same thing in a rules-loose game: if you have common sense on how to handle a situation, you can tell your DM. In both cases you need to argue your way to your point. In a rules-tight system, you continuously end up checking out the rules text, so you never run out of arguments (otherwise, it wouldn't be rules-tight, would it?).
With a good DM, there is little argument going on, either in a rules-tight or a rules-loose game. With a bad DM, plenty of argument (or discontentment) in both systems too.

ø Ignore Mishihari LordMonte is my new RPG hero. He did leave out some middle ground though. I think a good way to present the rules is to say "here's one way to solve the problem" and make clear that that is not the only way to solve the problem. Tight rules sets are often interpreted as "this and only this is the way to solve the problem," eliminating creative solutions.
RPG rules are one way to create a consensus on how the game operates, but there are others that are better in some ways. Simple agreed group consensus has already been mentioned.
Mutual understanding of the in-game fiction is at least as important to the rules. Written game fiction (even if it's really bad) facilitates this, as does setting descriptions. Frex, in Shadowrun there's no actual rule that says that Mr. Johnson must screw over party. If you read a few stories or the in-book fiction it's pretty obvious that this is almost to be expected.
Games based on established bodies of fiction are particularly good for this. If you're playing Wheel of Time, for instance, you know that Aes Sedai aren't going to be impeded by being out in freezing weather, even if the rules never specifically mention this. This is one of the reasons I liked AD&D. All the random stuff scattered through the DMG and Player's handbook (even the random prostitute table) led to a shared understanding of how the game universe worked through fiction even if they had no rules impact.
I think that the type of game Monte is describing would be greatly aided by game-ficiton, including written stories and setting description."Enough screwing around. It's time to kill."

ø Ignore Mishihari Lord"GM May I" is and always has been a BS argument. Everything in an RPG is "GM may I." You can't get away from it. You can't swing on a chandelier until the GM tells you there's a chandelier. And he tells you it's in range. Even if the rules say you can do it, the chandelier might be broken or the chain weak.
"GM may I" is synonymous with the flexibility that is the strength of RPGs. You can't have one without the other and trying to get away from it is pointless, even detrimental if you're sacrificing other aspects of play to try to reduce the power of the GM."Enough screwing around. It's time to kill."

ø Ignore Mishihari LordTight rules sets create the expectation that everything is defined, hence anything not mentioned is not allowed. Frex, if orcs washed off itchy stuff thrown by the PCs, the players in a tight-rules game could reasonably be expected to cry foul, since that's not explicitly spelled out in the rules. This issue does come up in actual play.

'Moby: Destroyed' on display at Samuel Owens Gallery in Greenwich
Moby is one of Fairfield County's most well-known native artists. Usually, it's because of his music (which goes all the way back to his days in the Darien-based 1980s hardcore band Vatican Commandos), but he can do other stuff too. As long as he's been touring the world, he's been carrying a camera along everywhere he goes. A new exhibit at Samuel Owens Gallery in Greenwich called Moby: Destroyed opens this Thursday, a collection of photos captured by Moby on an international journey that expose the often disconcerting behind-the-scenes aspects of touring. Moby will be on hand for the opening, and will sign his companion photo book, also called Moby: Destroyed from 6 to 7 p.m.

LP592 Small Claw
Original LP Claws set a standard
Its no secret that the original LP Claws set a standard for securing percussion accessories and microphones on stage and in the studio. For that reason, we see backline companies and recording facilities around the globe using LP Claws exclusively.Scaled down version of the famous LP Claw
The look of the LP Small Claw is a scaled down version of the famous LP Claw. The jet-black body measures 4 inches and will hold tight to standard drum counterhoops, and LP Comfort Curve drum rims. At the same time, it can open wide enough to grip any bass drum wood or metal hoop. LP has improved the "jaw" gripping assembly, bolstering it with an enhanced rubber surface that will eliminate slippage, scratching, and, important when close miking, cross talk. The new LP Small Claw will lock by means of a swivel eyelet to any standard 3/8" rod.Youll be seeing a lot more of the new LP Small Claw
Its reduced size may make it harder to spot in todays massive miked up drum/percussion set ups, but we have the feeling youll be seeing a lot more of the new LP Small Claw. Its going to be popping up in the most unexpected places!

3 of 26: Jennifer Hudson, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2006 for her role as Effie White in 'Dreamgirls,' says in her new book that she turned down the lead role in the 2009 film 'Precious' because it would have required her to gain weight. 'I had [gained weight] with Effie [in 'Dreamgirls'],' She says in her memoir 'I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down,' according to Uptown Magazine. 'And as much as I was moved by this film, I wanted to try a role that had nothing whatsoever to do with my weight.' 'Precious' is based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire. The lead role of Claireece 'Precious' Jones eventually went to newcomer Gabourey Sidbe, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.

Bloggers need that sales guy with the magic system... Source: http://www.cartoonstock.com/directory/f/falling_trees.asp |
I am seeing the same kind of challenge with running a blog. Granted that I get a value out of forcing myself to make incremental progress on things that I care about, it will be just as rewarding to find readers and build a community of users around social network, product management and startup topics to exchange ideas.
The challenge is that this process of building those initial readers who will share your stories and participate in your discussion takes long time and hard to do. During the long stretch of time, you don't get lot of feedback from the people. You can make educated guesses about who your readers are, and why they are glancing at your landing page and moving on. Is it the content not being relevant or users not finding enough value on the content? You never know.
Even those first few visitors are sparse. There is no guarantee that anyone will ever come. During all this time, you as the owner must go on. You must create content, post them, share them on your Facebook Page and Twitter handle and experiment to see if visitor graph shows the slightest signs of upward trend. You are full of questions and doubt. This can go on for months or years. The worst thing is that even after all that, there is no guarantee that things will get better. Unless you've seen it work, you are not confident that you are heading in the right direction.
I think the lack of consistent feedback is the most challenging thing for content creators. While I see many new bloggers sharing their thoughts, I wonder if they are finding the readers and healthy amount of feedback.
This is a worthwhile problem to tackle.

KRS-One, Brother J & Ras Kass To Perform At "Hip Hop Speaks From Heaven"
Boogie Down Productions and X-Clan co-founders will be joined by Ras Kass and Mad Lion to honor some of their late friends and family.

I had to think about my New Years Resolution this year. Well...at least I had to think about the wine related one. I like 95% of the world have the regular resolutions of wanting to start taking care of myself and train for a half marathon (especially since Tarara is associated with two this year - YIKES!) and eat healthier (but I love duck fat sooooo much). I like 95% of the population will likely fail at these great goals until my son out runs me for the first time and makes me feel old. Enough about that though. You want to know how I plan to do better things with wine, which in turn should be good for you.
This really was a hard task because if I am nothing else, I am a very passionate winemaker with no room for compromise. I only want to do the best, I do not want to cut corners, I love every second of my job and I know the type of wines i am trying to make. Well...that last one is one of my problems and the issue I would like to resolve this year. I am a very selfish winemaker and I know it. I need to look back at my first years in this industry and remember what I was drinking and what I was striving to do. My views have changed which is good in my opinion as everyone needs to grow. But, I believe one thing I have not been 100% with is really understanding others views because I can be so set on my own.
So this year my New Years Resolution is to get back to the tasting room more often and talk with you. While I will always remain focused, I do need to understand what each of our fans are saying they want and analyze if and how that all fits with Tarara as a whole and the style of wines I feel I can do the best job of. I miss being in the tasting room and hanging around people and talking wine. That is what got me intrigued with this industry in the first place and what go me to learn to craft the wines I love.
Part of my resolution of going after our wines with a more open mind is also going to fall on my day to day selection of my vinous pleasures at home. Now this is the part I am supposed to tell you the only wine I will drink is Tarara, but that would be a ludicrous lie. I can not grow and get better if I don't understand the rest of the wine world and what they are doing. That is how one falls behind the times and will end up with inferior wines. I can't ever let that happen and the day I find myself drinking only one wine because it is there is the day I need to change careers (that will never happen). Now, that said, I have been closed minded or should I say at least busy. Being a father has changed my priorities certainly, but I still drink wine. I just tend to not be as experimental. All too often I am drinking the same varieties or same regions and so on. I love Grenache from the Southern Rhone whether Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, or even simple good QPR Cotes du Rhone wines, but the problem is I know I love it and am very knowledgeable on it. What I don't know is what Cinsault tastes like in the obscure corners of the world. I don't have a good enough grasp on the intricacies of Tannat at 10 years old from several Madiran or Uruguayan producers. I don't completely understand the dramatic differences of Vermentino grown in Bellet opposed to Sardinia. These are all things I want and need to learn. It will help me here at home in Virginia!
How will my knowledge of Sardinia help me here in Virginia? Well let me explain.
While if you want to play the part of historian then Virginia is not new to wine grape growing and you can go back to when everyone had to plant 10 vines on their property and how Thomas Jefferson is the most notable connosieur in wine history. OK, cool, but the reality is our modern wine industry is very young. We really only started in the late 70's and quite frankly the dramatic growth has only been over the last 5-10 year both qualitatively and for quantity. What that means is that we don't know everything about our land, our climate or even our potential. We have all looked at the obvious choices for varieties in our vineyards like Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Merlot, etc. Some have worked and some of them really don't at all. We have started to find some varieties that work well that may not have been the obvious choices like Petit Manseng and Tannat. Well their homelands of Jurancon and Madiran respectively have some similarities to us with humidity, less temperature swing in the nights (warmer), and precipitation. What we haven't done is look around the world for more places that have similarities to us and there are such areas. We have a very Mediterranean like climate at many times Could we have some similarities to areas of Greece and thrive off Agioritikos, or Monica from Sardinia, or Nero d'Avola in Sicily. The answer is we don't necessarily know, so I resolve to enter each wine shop with an open mind and not pick up some Pinot Noir from the Russian River, but an obscure Cabernet/Cinsault/Syrah blend from Lebanon and study that wine. We need to always aim to be better and that starts with an open mind.
Now I have to go and get started by looking at our most recent wines that we made form Rkatsiteli this year and will start bottling in February and then go home and open a bottle of Croatian Cabernet that you awesome Vine Club Manager Kim's husband got for me. Time to have an open mind and understand more of our future. Salute.

One Hope United
Best place for our daughter!By Joanne Knefel on Tuesday, October 12, 2010 Our daughter has only been going to the Des Plaines location for 4 weeks now and we are amazed at the new things she learns every day! Her vocabulary, activities...everything! She also has severe food allergies and we feel 110% comfortable with her being there. The teachers are caring and attentive. They are great for mom too! ;-) We could not ask for a better place for our daughter to be! Would HIGHLY recommend OHU to anyone. |
Customer Service ManagerBy Devon Marinkovich on Friday, June 11, 2010 My husband and I really appreciate the care and attention that is given to our daughter. Everyone on the staff has been great to know and we trust that she is well cared for during her time at school. We can see in her growth that she learns new things all the time. I would recommend One Hope United to anyone. |

Belcher said Crum often would show up to practice in his Delbarton police chief's uniform.
"He was actually the first person to work with me on the focus mitts and he taught me this real good combination," Belcher said. "I got it down pat, and the first thing I did when I went home was showed my mom what he taught me."
Melvin Blair joined the boxing club in 1988 and was 13 years old in 1991. He was near Maynard's weight class, but doesn't recall ever sparring with him or rooming with him on tournament trips.
"I do remember he was real into religion and real into the Bible," Blair, now 35, said of Maynard. "When I worked at Advance Auto, he would always come by and talk to me about God. I seen him on and off my whole life."
Diamond said he's close to Maynard's father and had kept in contact with the family until the last couple of years. He said he hasn't spoken to any Maynard family members since the shooting.
"I'm sure, when that old boy pecked on [Crum's] window, Eugene didn't think a thing about rolling down that window," Diamond said. "There ain't a doubt in my mind that [Crum] didn't recognize him."
'We won't know it until he tells us'
Leslie Maynard was born 18 months after his older brother, Tennis. They were close, but Leslie said that changed when Tennis moved to Alabama in 2004, looking for work.
Tennis got married, but it was later annulled, Leslie said. In June 2007, Tennis suffered a life-changing accident at Drummond Co.'s Shoal Creek Mine, near Nauvoo, Ala.
"When he got blowed up in Alabama and then he got into them chemicals, he was just a different person," Leslie Maynard said, standing on his front lawn in Delbarton last week. "He would stop and talk . . . and then go three or four days and not even acknowledge you. He went like that for three years probably."
Leslie Maynard said his brother came back to Mingo County after the accident but struggled to recover. He sued more than two dozen people and mining companies in 2009, citing "extreme, severe, prolonged emotional and mental pain and suffering, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the incident."
Maynard's lawsuit was put on hold to allow time for mediation of a possible settlement, the Associated Press reported. An August hearing is scheduled.
"The blast messed up his hearing, too, and he went three or four months and never slept," Leslie Maynard said. He said his brother sought psychiatric help and was prescribed drugs to help him sleep.
Tennis Maynard never talked about Eugene Crum, Leslie Maynard said. Since the shooting, he hasn't been able to speak to his brother to ask him why he allegedly did it.
He said he's sorry for the sheriff's death, but doesn't want his family persecuted for his brother's alleged actions.
"My family, they're taking it rough. How would your family be?" he said. "I can't speak for my brother, not unless he speaks to me."
Maynard was still recovering at Cabell Huntington Hospital on Saturday and has not been arraigned. He's been charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder. The case was moved from Mingo County to Cabell County, where Circuit Court Judge Paul Farrell appointed Huntington public defender Richard Weston to represent Maynard. Weston has not returned several phone calls from the Sunday Gazette-Mail.
Leslie Maynard said he doesn't believe his brother shot Crum at random. He believes Tennis Maynard left the house that morning intending to kill the sheriff.
"He wouldn't do it just for no reason," Leslie Maynard said. "No, he had a reason. We won't know it until he tells us."

The Panasonic SD-YD250 is an excellent choice for home cooks who want to enjoy home-baked bread without a lot of fuss and trouble. Although it doesn't have the range of settings that more expensive models have, it does include a work-saving yeast dispenser, a delay-start feature and consistently great results, according to users. If you are an expert bread maker and want a full-function machine, you may find this one lacking, as it doesn't have a jam cycle or allow custom programming; and if you're a baker who likes to monitor the process, you might miss having a viewing window. Still, some upscale machines can cost more than twice as much as this model. If you want a premium machine but don't need all the bells and whistles, the Panasonic SD-YD250 may fit the bill.
Delivers consistently excellent results with every loaf. What matters most with a bread maker is the outcome, and according to reviews, the Panasonic SD-YD250 delivers an excellent loaf every time. Mason Currey tested five models for Slate.com and reports that the Panasonic produces one of the best-looking loaves, with a dark, crispy crust and good flavor. Most home bakers posting to Amazon.com agree that the loaves come out evenly baked, evenly risen, evenly textured and flavorful with every slice.
The praise for this model's performance is constant regardless of bread variety. One baker posting to Viewpoints.com, for example, has used the SD-YD250 to bake all kinds of bread, including cinnamon-raisin, beer bread and bacon bread, and has yet to "get a loaf that is less than perfect." Other bakers posting to both Viewpoints.com and Amazon.com echo these sentiments, although with fewer bread varieties. The only performance criticism we found was from one owner at Amazon.com who is disappointed that there is no choice of crust settings for wheat bread.
Makes bread baking a virtual no-brainer. It's not the most full-featured bread maker on the market, but the Panasonic SD-YD250 is widely considered an easy-operating machine. Users say its LED display is clear and allows bakers to easily choose among size, type and crust options. The delay setting allows you to add ingredients and choose what time you'd like the bread to be ready -- a very popular feature among Amazon.com users, many of whom enjoy the ability to wake up to the aroma of freshly made bread. Editors at The Wall Street Journal and owners at Amazon.com praise the yeast slot as a convenience feature because they say it eliminates the need to add yeast manually; a few users, however, report that it's difficult to add yeast without spilling some around the slot. Some reviewers also fault the lack of a viewing window, which would allow them to monitor baking progress. And some complain that if you make a mistake programming the unit, there is no quick way to clear the settings.
Sturdy and solid, but size is debatable. Bread makers in general don't garner many comments about their appearance, possibly because many of them are essentially large, white boxes, and the Panasonic SD-YD250 is no exception. Nevertheless, its size is an issue for some users. At over 13 inches wide, 14 inches tall and 9 inches deep, the model is considered compact by Slate.com's reviewer, Mason Currey, who reports that it's the only one he could imagine finding room for in his small kitchen. Some users at Amazon.com, by contrast, find it big and bulky. While editors at The Wall Street Journal report that the machine has a tendency to "levitate" across the counter, many users specifically state that the model is sturdy and stable, and they don't experience this problem.
A winner in the sound department. If noisy appliances are a pet peeve of yours, the Panasonic SD-YD250 may be your ideal machine. Editors at BreadInfo.com say it has a "reputation for being quiet." Aside from occasional complaints about squeaking or grinding noises, which in some cases signal mechanical problems, and a few "knocks" during the kneading phase, users posting to Amazon.com widely express satisfaction with the model's noise level. Many use terms like "extremely quiet," "quiet as a mouse" and "whisper quiet" to describe it, and some even report that they never hear the machine running.

1. The Wall Street Journal
Review Credibility: Excellent Editors of The Wall Street Journal evaluate bread machines using the same recipes for white bread, wheat bread, pizza dough, French bread and sweet loaves. After testing, five favorite models emerged and the Panasonic SD-YD250 ranked among them. Writer Lauren Moser praises the Panasonic machine for its yeast dispenser, noting that it makes the mixing process less daunting. On the con side, Moser says the basic cycle is relatively long, and the machine may "levitate" across the counter.

2. Slate.com
Review Credibility: Excellent Mason Currey, a Slate.com contributor, tries five machines over the course of six weeks, rating each machine for bread quality, convenience, features and value. He concludes that the Panasonic SD-YD250 beats out its competition in many areas, noting that it produces a good-looking loaf with a dark, crispy crust and good flavor. He also praises the size of the model, which he says fits nicely in his small kitchen. Nevertheless, he finds fault with its lack of a window for viewing baking progress and its recipe book, which he says calls for odd measurements.

Review Credibility: Very Good The Panasonic SD-YD250 garners more than 1,070 user reviews on Amazon.com, with users giving it an average rating of 4.3 stars out of 5. Most reviews are highly complimentary, particularly praising its consistently excellent baking results and nearly silent operation. The easy-to-use display and variety of settings are also appreciated features. A few users report mechanical problems and frustration with Panasonic's customer service.

4. BreadInfo.com
Review Credibility: Good At this bread-enthusiast site, editors rate eight bread machines, judging them on appearance, price, features, ease of use, results and customer service. The Panasonic SD-YD250 earns an A-minus rating and is considered a "well-priced, good value."

5. About.com
Review Credibility: Good Jessica Harlan, About.com's cooking equipment guide, likes the Panasonic breadmaker, but says those baking enthusiasts who enjoy multiple custom settings will be disappointed. For the average user, she recommends the Panasonic as a basic machine that makes good bread. Harlan says the recipes included with the breadmaker are lacking, and she had to call customer service to determine which loaf size was appropriate for her recipe. (Note: ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)

6. BreadMachineReview.com
Review Credibility: Good Using the pen name "Mama Chef," this blogger devotes her website to offering buying advice and evaluating bread makers based on her own experiences. The Panasonic SD-YD250 is one of her top-five choices, earning the Best Large Bread Machine designation because it can bake loaves up to 2.5 pounds. She points out that the yeast dispenser and temperature-control function help ensure an even loaf. Her main complaints are that the unit takes up considerable counter space, and the variable crust selections are only for white bread, not wheat.

7. Viewpoints.com
Review Credibility: Fair More than 20 users post reviews of the Panasonic SD-YD250 on Viewpoints.com, giving it an average 92-point rating on a 100-point scale. More than half note that they "love" it -- a unique rating option on this website. The delay-start feature gets praise from reviewers, with some pointing out that they like the option to add ingredients the night before and wake up to freshly baked bread. The large loaf size is also considered a plus. The few complaints involve mechanical problems, as well as the inability to cancel or change settings mid-cycle.

Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Edinburgh to Loch Ness
From Edinburgh, we pass the famous Forth Bridge and into Perthshire, surrounded by mountains, forests and salmon packed rivers. We stop in Dunkeld, heart of Macbeth country and its mighty cathedral before taking a walk in the beautiful woodlands and waterfalls of the Hermitage. Then it's across the country and further north to the Great Glen and on to Morag's Lodge, our home for the night.
Day 2: The Highlands
Our journey along Loch Ness takes us through Drumnadrochit and past the ruins of Urquhart Castle where the monster has been spotted many times. We then head further north hearing tales about Bonnie Prince Charlie and the tragedy of his defeat on the eerie moor of lonely Culloden Battlefield (scene of the last major battle on British soil). This afternoon we get the chance to taste a drop of the 'water of life' at a whisky distillery before heading back to the shores of Loch Ness
Day 3: Isle of Skye
Today we visit HAGGiS Grove (weather permitting) to help restore our native Caledonian forest before passing beautiful Eilean Donan Castle. Then on to explore the Isle of Skye, also known as the 'winged isle' or 'Isle of Mist' with its ruined castles, awesome scenery and home to the legendary MacLeod and MacDonald Clans. Immersed in Celtic myths and Viking legends, hear tales abound with faeries and fights, we explore the windswept landscape and brooding Red and Black Cuillin Mountain ranges.
Day 4: Skye to Oban
We return to the mainland and head for Glenfinnan Monument where Bonnie Prince Charlie began his claim for the throne of Scotland and view the spectacular steam train viaduct featured in the Harry Potter film.

have a good day.
I can not say that I ever heard about that story. Are there actually books that discuss this kind of things?
'Only thing worse than watching a bad movie is being in one' - Elvis Presley
i have heard or read it somewhere... dont remember where though. **** i wish i could remember. maybe it was a dream lol
naw it wasnt...seriously i cant remember where i heard or read it but i know i have somewhere...
Huh? I thought only jews got circumsized?
"A year from now, you'll wish you had started today"
Follow TCB-World on Twitter for website updates and Elvisnews: http://twitter.com/tcbworldcom
I've read about it in "Revelations from Memphis Mafia" book and some other books too. But about these Vernon's words I hear for the first time indeed I guess it's not true... I mean Vernon words.
Not only jews , Albert
muslims and americans does tooOriginally Posted by Albert
It's documented here.
...you won't forget me when I go.
thanks for the proof lonnie, from what i heard was that elvis parents was so poor they couldnt have had circumsized for elvis when he was a baby..

The only book I remember reading about it in is "The Girls Guide To Elvis" by Kim Alderman. It's also mentioned in that autobiography that everyone hates written in 1980. There is an except from the book called "The Party Years" at RollingStone.com and I think its in there...put in a search for Elvis and you'll find it. I don't remember the writers firstname but I think his last name is Goldman. I've never read the book. It's probably mentioned other places but my book collection consists of a sad 10 lol So whatever...I don't have that many sources to go by.

Blind Willie Johnson cared about 'The Soul of a Man,' others dug the music
Blind Willie Johnson was a bluesman and a preacher. His lyrics were spiritual, and his music was blues.
Though he only made 30 recordings, his work is a lasting part of the blues legacy. Early players like Son House and Fred McDowell played his tunes, and his influence reached people like Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin. In 1930 he recorded "The Soul of a Man" accompanied by his wife, Willie B. Harris.
Interesting note: Blind Willie Johnson's song "Dark Was The Night" is one of 31 musical pieces on a golden record onboard the spacecraft Voyager 1. Launched in 1977, it is the farthest man-made object from Earth.
David Jacobs-Strain is a younger blues player who has done his homework on early blues. His 2004 recording of "The Soul of a Man" honors the integrity of the tune while adding atmospheric touches that take it into the new century.
Two years later in 2006 , Irma Thomas recorded "The Soul of A Man" with minimal accompaniment. Appearing on her CD "After the Rain," which came out following Hurricane Katrina. In Thomas' version, the song took on further poignancy.
That same year Eric Burdon, who led the Animals in the 60s, came out with a blues oriented album that included a version of "The Soul of a Man." He performs it live in this clip:
Here are the complete versions of "The Soul of a Man":
Blind Willie Johnson "The Soul of a Man" 1930
David Jacobs-Strain "The Soul of a Man" 2004
Irma Thomas "The Soul of a Man" 2006
Eric Burdon "The Soul of a Man" 2006
"The Blues Time Machine" is a weekly feature tracking one great blues song through time. The series is hosted by John Kessler, from KPLU's "All Blues," and is published here every Friday and airs on KPLU 88.5 on Fridays at 12:10 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Skate Canada pretty much bases their selections on Nationals. I don't see that Daleman and Chartrand present much of a threat to Kaetlyn. She could beat them on PCS alone.
Skate Canada pretty much bases their selections on Nationals. I don't see that Daleman and Chartrand present much of a threat to Kaetlyn. She could beat them on PCS alone.
I can't see ANYONE right now in Canada who is better than Kaetlyn when it comes to ladies.
Crazy about sports!
Kaetlyn has proven herself internationally. They'll send her no matter what. Even if she for some reason has to miss Canadians (say for illness or something), they'll send her. She's top 10 in the world, top 5 (should have been top 2) in the SP.
Any confirmation that Kaetlyn will skate at WTT?
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
Yes. In a telephone interview with NF CBC after Worlds she mentioned that her next event was WTT. The link is posted on her FB page. Cute piece, her older brother and sister were in the studio while the interview was taking place and contributed some comments about Kaetlyn as a little girl.
images on ice - Figure Skating Photography
Kaetlyn's rate of progression is quite astounding, her debut result at Senior worlds ranks among the highest of Canadian ladies:
in the past 40 years:
6th: Josee Chouinard (1991), Lisa Sargeant (1990)
8th: Kaetlyn Osmond (2013), Kay Thomson (1982)
9th: Susan Humphreys (1994)
10th: Lynn Nightingale (1973), Cynthia Coull (1985)
11th: Karen Preston (1989), Patricia Schmidt (1987)
12th: Charlene Wong (1983), Kim Alletson (1975)
13th: Mira Leung (2006), Elizabeth Manley (1982), Heather Kemkaran (1977)
14th: Tracey Wainman (1980)
16th: Amelie Lacoste (2011)
17th: Joannie Rochette (2003)
19th: Jennifer Robinson (1995), Janet Morrissey (1979)
20th: Cynthia Phaneuf (2005), Angela Derochie (1998)

It was indeed a wonderful placement. I think if she hadn't skated in the last group, we would have seen a better fs and a top five finish. However, it's all a learning experience for her and I'm sure she and her coach will put it to good use for the future.
Skating in the last group in 4th place would have tended to make her feel more secure about staying top 10. NOT skating in the last group would have increased her nerves even more---the pressure would have been greater if she was starting out in 7th place. And she would have had a lower SP score-say around 61.00, a loss of 3.71 points, and she would have had to skate after Gold and Li, both of whom landed 7 triples. I don't think the result would have been any different.
Really love Osmond, so much personality. Reminds me a bit of Nicole Bobek...definetly can work a crowd!!
I loved what I saw of Daleman at Canadians. I didn't think she was quite there in terms of what Kaetlyn showed in her programs, but I don't think she's too far behind. She (Daleman) seems to have the ability to shake off when she falls on a jump and IIRC, she was whipping off 3-3s in practice -- and if I'm not recalling that correctly, anyone who WAS at Canadians can feel free to correct me. I was really pleased with what I saw of the younger ladies at that competition and if they master the puberty monster, I can see Kaetlyn being challenged for that top spot next year. For me, though, KO had it in spades! When it was time to compete, she just shone and you could tell she was enjoying her moment in the spotlight. Wasn't quite the same when it was time for the Free at World's but then -- for me at least -- it was about getting her feet wet in that kind of competition.
What was difficult to watch was LaCoste. She would start her program with such fire and then after a mistake (or two) I could swear I'd see the fight almost gone out of her. I'm glad she had the chance to attend World's last year as I believe it will be the last time she competes at that level. There just seems like a lot of talent in the younger ladies.
Oh, can I just say again how thrilled and proud I am for how well Kaetlyn did skate. I think she did our nation proud.
Crazy about sports!
It depends on what was on her mind at the time. Was she more immediately concerned about not making the top 10, or not being dead last by a significant gap within that final group (considering who she was skating with)? If the latter, it may have been better if other newbies had been there to share the load. However, she found herself alone. Could she have been thinking about closing the score gap? When you want something badly enough that you begin to worry, that is when you will be more likely to make mistakes.
Clearly something was on her mind during the warm-up. She didn't have her usual big smile when the audience cheered as she stepped onto the ice, or after her name had been announced.
In either case, she did well enough. If I am not mistaken, her skate was more-or-less how she normally performs that LP, with the exception of one additional fall.

I always notice a skater's face when they're in their starting position - and to me she did look quite tense. I'm no competitor so I don't know what she might have been thinking, but if she wasn't intimidated by the presense of Yuna, Mao and Carolina - figure skating royalty - then she can't have a single nerve in her body.
Exactly. Skating with three world champions? Perhaps a bit intimidating. She did well.
You never know. Daleman (15) and Chartrand (16) are young and have lots of potential. As with Osmond, anything can happen to a skater...like gaining weight for example, motivation or any physical changes in the body and vuala, jumps and overall performance are not as before. Osmond wasn't long enough around yet.
I'd just like to see Osmond with more flattering costumes next season. Both the SP and FS costumes were too busy and made her look chunky through the middle, which she surely is not.
I agree, I'm always, well I don't want to say surprised, but just really notice how different she looks in interviews and pictures of her in practice clothes. She's fairly broad through the shoulders, but is very fit and trim. In practice clothes, you can see why she's such a terrific jumper, lean with very defined muscles. But that doesn't come out in her costumes. The SP dress wasn't so bad but the FS one was really not flattering, it did make her look thick and she is definitely not at all! I think she could rock a unitard personally, or just a dress with less of an open back would be better. She's a beautiful girl and her dark coloring I think could also be better showcased in different colors of costumes, like fuschia or turquoise.
I liked her SP dress but not the Lp dress. I also think she would "rock a unitard" if the program called for it.
Addicted to FSU
A little off topic, how much does a dress cost (approx) for an elite level skater?
