I bought one of these in a package deal off of eBay I got for an awesome price. I have used it once on a weekend trip it worked very nice it was very soft and pleasant unlike the light from a LED lantern. I have used many different lanterns candles, white gas, kerosene, propane, led and bulb types.
The only bad point to this lantern I have came across is fuel it is a little pricey and heavy but not too bad and no lanyard for hanging.
The good points are its light weight, adjustable lamination, optional mesh globe, small and compact. There are a few more I didn't cove but I got the basics. The auto light is nice but I would also pack a lighter or matches just in case.
Bottom line this is a good product that I would definitely recommend to a friend.
This is a great lantern that can be used for different…
Price Paid: $35
This is a great lantern that can be used for different types of outdoor activities. I use mine for both backpacking and kayak camping.
A great feature to consider is the piezo electric start, makes lighting it much easier than dealing with matches or lighter. Adjustable fuel valve allows brightness from very faint to super bright. Moderate opening of valve will conserve fuel and still get you the light you need.
I converted the glass globe to mesh screen globe (available from Snow Peak). Light output somewhat diminished but not an issue for me.
2 things to note, top of lantern gets hot (to be expected) so just be aware of anything that could burn or melt near it. Also it doesn't have any way to hang it from a nail or tree branch. I made a hanger from a piece of piano wire that works great.
Overall great quality as usual from Snow Peak.
80 Watts of light in this tiny package -- sweet. Two…
Price Paid: Forgot
80 Watts of light in this tiny package -- sweet. Two weeks after I bought it, they came out with a 120 watt. You may want to consider that. The best thing about this model is its compactness and brightness. Light is bright and easily adjustable down to candle brightness. It is quiet too. Mantels are moderately easy to put on, but you kind of need a little trail and error to get the igniter wire to poke out of the mantel at the correct position.
One minor complaint: The gas does not always ignite right away. It takes a few tries to get it started all the while you get a little nervous about a flareup from too much gas, so keep your face back.

Staff Report
Cooperstown Crier
---- — Bassett Medical Center is set to host its annual Emergency Preparedness Fair, which brings together staff and the public each year in an effort to inform on how to prepare for times of crisis.
With the theme, "Uniting Our Community One Step at a Time," Bassett officials said they hope to provide the community with resources and information on how to be more responsible about one's own emergency preparations.
A variety of organizations will gather from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 15 to focus on how the community can respond in times of emergencies. Activities will be held at Bassett Clinic on River Street in Cooperstown.
"Communication from everyone in the community is so important during crisis," Network Emergency Preparedness Manager Brinton Muller said in a media release. "Everyone needs to be able to understand each other in order to be able to help one another."
New to this year's event will be a keynote speech in the hospital's Clark Auditorium from David Nicosia of the National Weather Service. Nicossia will speak about the several severe weather alert notifications the NWS has in place, as well as go in-depth on their descriptions to help the public better understand what they are and how to prepare. Nicosia's presentation will be from 3 to 4 p.m.
Bassett Medical Center puts on this fair each year to provide the public with information on emergency preparations at home. According to the release, attendees come away with simple steps they can take to improve their safety in the event of an emergency. One suggestion offered by the Department of Emergency Preparedness is having a simple "File of Life" magnet on your refrigerator. These magnets are readily visible to anyone coming to assist during an emergency and contain the patient's contact information, provider information, and information about any medicines they are on. Another step is having "go-kits" available in your home and car. These kits contain essential items, such as clothing, medicine, cash, insurance documents, personal care items and enough food for two to three days.
The event will include vendors and representatives from local organizations, such as Bieritz Insurance, Otsego Public Health and Emergency Services, WKTV Newschannel 2, Utica, and a variety of others. In addition, emergency preparedness staff from Bassett Medical Center will be on hand to answer questions.
"The crucial information provided to both the public and our staff is what makes this program so important," Muller said in the release. "All of these efforts can benefit both Bassett and the community by making sure everyone is well informed on how to be prepared in an emergency situation."

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) - A New Albany school will close its doors for the last time on Friday.
St. Mary's Catholic Academy is slated to close due to high debt and low enrollment.

Retro drum sounds are all the rage at the moment so what else could we do but bring you another storming collection of late 80′s / 90′s drum samples. Acid House Drum Sounds is much more than the name suggests, it covers mainly the UK Warehouse Rave scene from the late 80′s Acid House phenomena through to the early 90′s white dove epidemic which hit clubs and raves from London to Scotland.
Comprising of over 330 drum sounds from the classic era this is a sample pack no producer should be without. Whether you remember the Fantasia raves, Dreamscape parties or are too young to have been there this was a monumental moment in clubbing culture and we're not surprised the drum sounds are finally doing the rounds again.
The sample pack costs $25 AUD.

vacation rental description
Magnolia Springs is the colorful southern riverfront hamlet described in novels laced with streets canopied with great live oaks, trails to the river tunneled by bamboo and vines of wisteria. The Magnolia River is renown for it's cold hole springs that make it a destination for summer frolicking, boating and year around beauty. It is a paddler's dream for exploring beautiful architecture of grand old homes that hug the banks, the last remaining river village of mail delivery by boat. It is the river that successfully fought to protect and preserve waters from the BP oil spill. Everyone becomes a photographer, no place better for coastal bird spotting, capturing beautiful images of the south's roads less traveled. The community is proud to have achieved the honor of being declared a historic treasure of the south. We are privileged to own and offer our cottages for the pleasure of travelers seeking a special time spent near the shores of the gulf of mexico from Pensacola to New Orleans. There are more day trips than days in the week. There are sandy beaches for hundreds of miles yet as close as 12 miles/ 15 minutes traveling along beautiful countryside roads. The peaceful country stretches are bordered by reputed cotton fields, pecan groves as far as the eye can see, horse ranches, small crop farming, land rich and fertile. Fresh seafood can be bought off the boat just a few miles down on bayou Bon Secour. Nearby, cultural and recreational spots of interest are Fairhope, Foley, Mobile, Pensacola; all steeped in history. The bayous, marshes, water's edge are integral to daily life in all of our communities as far as New Orleans less than a 3 hour drive. Yellow cottage is located just 1/2 block to one of the area's most popular spots for dining and libation, Jesse's. It opens at 7 am for patio breakfast, noon for a light fare, afternoon for tavern and happy hour, nighttime for gourmet dining in a formal dining room. They also deliver pizza/beer to the river front pier for boaters. There is a deli on location for daily needs, a fine choice of wines, microbrew beers, flavors of organic coffee by the scoop. Breads, pastries, muffins are baked daily. A variety of meats butchered and ready for the grill, as well as smoked, baked pork, beef, chicken are prepared each day with a selection of side dishes, casseroles, and salads for take home dining. Jesse is definitely the place to meet and greet, the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. Yellow cottage built in 1925 has been beautifully restored and offers all the amenities of home and more. It is owned and operated by artists who have chosen special real estate in a few states and embrace being hosts to a most unusual trip through time and space. There are always and ever changing pieces of art being curated around and throughout the cottages. It is eclectic in style, more comfortable than home, a place you long to return every chance given. There are tubes, kayak for riverfront fun. The property has a BBQ, a grand ole picnic table with umbrella for outdoor food fest, morning, noon, or night. So much to say, I could write a novel. Oh, Fanny Flagg did, The Redbird Christmas. Not to mention Forrest Gump, written in the next town just down the road a few miles. They don't call it "Alabama the Beautiful" for no good reason, and i am not just whistling Dixie. Come on down.

Organizers were concerned for the safety of their 200 guests. When the photographer signaled that he had successfully taken the group photo, a member from the University of Washington's host group called for everyone's attention.
Then, using a hand-held bullhorn, the crisp voice bellowed, "If you're planning on some paddling practice this afternoon, stay close to the university's waterfront. If you go out too far from shore, you'll end up in the main channel where the big boats sail. Their wakes can swamp even the best designed canoe."
He was addressing the contestants in the 20th Annual National Concrete Canoe Competition (NCCC). Participants from 20 colleges and universities gathered in June at the University of Washington's campus in Seattle to vie for the title of best canoe design team.
Fortunately, everyone followed the advisory and the weekend event was trouble-free. The last thing anyone wanted was to damage two semesters of hard work.
The NCCC is much more than a three-day event. It's an annual rite of passage for some of the nation's best civil engineering students. Collectively, more than 60,000 student hours had been applied to the seemingly impossible task of making concrete canoes float.
Perhaps an even better indicator of the contest's importance is the time involved at the regional competition, which may have been more than 250,000 hours. This total could well exceed the sum of all scheduled lecture hours on concrete nationwide.
While the competition's focus is on race day, organizers from the American Society of Civil Engineers rules committee try to bring a real-life element of engineering to the teams.
The process starts when the new contest rules are sent out just before the fall semester. The rules committee, led by Clemson University professor Brad Putman, tries to offer a new challenge to the roughly 75 teams that build canoes for the regional competitions. These events are held in late March or early April.
This year's rule changes included a shorter hull length restriction of 20 feet. But the real kicker for competitors this year was how to deal with the air entrainment requirement.
The rules combine academic achievement and athletic ability. The races, which feature endurance and sprints for both men and women, counted for only 25% of the teams' overall score.
The remaining 75% was based equally on a technical paper that highlighted the planning, development, testing, and construction of the team's canoe; a formal oral presentation in which the team had to detail their design construction, racing ability, and other innovative features, as well as explaining their choices to the judges during a question and answer session; and the final racing canoe and project display.
The one team that had their form down pat was the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Their win this year was the fifth in a row. They designed the Descendant, Madison's 19.11-foot-long, 179-pound, natural gray canoe, to maximize the rowers' power. The team will be invited to participate in the 30th Annual Dutch Concrete Canoe Challenge in the Netherlands in September.

Police in Cromwell said they responded to reports of a bank robbery on Shunpike Road on Wednesday morning.
According to Cromwell police, four people, who were wearing masks and dark clothing, entered Citizens Bank and demanded money from the tellers just after 10 a.m.
Weapons were implied, police said, however no weapons were shown during the robbery. The suspects then fled the scene in an older-model brown Nissan Maxima, with an undisclosed amount of money.
Police said that while the suspects got away with an undisclosed amount of money, a red security dye pack exploded.
A motor vehicle with money scattered inside was located at Cromwell Hills Condominium Association a short time later.
Investigators were able to determine that the vehicle was stolen from Hartford Wednesday.
The robbery remains under investigation by the Cromwell Police Department. Police are asking anyone who sees money that has been dyed red, or anyone with red stains on them to call police at 860-635-2256, ext. 24.
No customers were inside the bank at the time of the robbery. No injuries were reported.

Well this is a bit of a change in direction ...
New York Times: Consistently poor men's basketball graduation rates and recent NCAA recruiting violations kept UConn out of the ACC.
Your move, Big East.
Analyzing Notre Dame's move to the ACC from a Boston College perspective, more Boston College-Northwestern and this week's picks.
Why has former Duke basketball player Lance Thomas stood silent since a lawsuit was filed against him several days ago? Is his silence golden for the Duke Blue Devils? Perhaps so.
The great success achieved by the UConn men's basketball program under Jim Calhoun's leadership helped propel the University of Connecticut onto the national stage. His contributions to this University have been positive and will be long lasting. I want to take this opportunity to wish Jim Calhoun all my best in a long, happy and healthy retirement. I have always admired Kevin Ollie as a person and as a player and know that he will make the most of this opportunity. He has had great success in everything he has done and I am confident this will be no exception.UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma's statement on the retirement of UConn men's basketball Jim Calhoun, and hiring of Kevin Ollie.
Or as other, less creative outlets are reporting it - Jim Calhoun retires. I'll always be indebted to him for knocking off the 1999 Duke team, and generally dislike him for everything else. Williams now trails only Jim Boeheim and some guy in Durham. Bob Huggins has more wins as well, but not all came at D-1 schools.
How big of an impact does Jim Calhoun's retirement have on the recruitment of Akoy Agau? Not that much, really.
According to reports, UConn men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun is set to retire.

Macaroni au Gratin
Serves 3
|Need help with conversions?
This recipe is taken from Frugal Food
Bring 11/2 pints (850 ml) water to the boil in a large pan with 1 teaspoon salt, add the macaroni and boil without a lid, according to the instructions on the packet.
Meanwhile, melt 2 oz (50 g) of butter in a saucepan, add the flour and mustard, and make up a white sauce with the milk, cooking for about 6 minutes before adding 3 oz (75 g) of the grated cheese to melt gently into it, together with a seasoning of salt and pepper and a few gratings of nutmeg.
Then in a little butter in a small frying pan, soften the onion, bacon and mushrooms together for about 6 minutes. Now drain the macaroni in a colander, combine it with the sauce and the bacon, onion and mushroom, then place the whole mixture in a buttered 2 pint (1.2 litre) baking dish.
Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top, plus the pieces of tomato. Finish off by placing the dish under a hot grill until golden brown and bubbling. Note: if you want to make this in advance, you can reheat it in a high oven, gas mark 6, 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes.

Eric Young Jr. won the National League stolen base crown and helped the New York Mets rally past Milwaukee 3-2 on Sunday when the Brewers botched two bunts in the eighth inning.
Young swiped two bases in the first, scored on a shallow sacrifice fly and later threw out a runner at the plate from left field. He began the day tied for the NL lead in steals at 44 with Milwaukee shortstop Jean Segura, who sat out for the 10th time in 11 games.
Segura returned Saturday from a strained right hamstring but he and the Brewers didn't want to push it in the season finale, manager Ron Roenicke said.
Playing in front of their third sellout crowd this year, the Mets prevented a four-game sweep by Milwaukee and finished 74-88 in their fifth straight losing season since moving into Citi Field.

Bright sunny morning.
Late May.
No obvious hatches.
How do you fish this hole as a fly angler?
What do you use?
Is the angler pictured fishing the hole correctly?
Should you just bypass the sunny day and go home?
If you were a spin or worm angler how would you fish this hole?
Comment away.
No answer is wrong.

Together, we can preserve the Natural World
Where Thai Tradition Meets Nature
Dear Valued Guests,
We are all aware of the ongoing destruction of our natural world, as each day investors and developers profit at the expense of the environment and through wasteful consumption of the world's precious natural resources.
In the tourism industry, many investors and developers seek to maximize revenue by building tall and crowded buildings, which affect the winds and alter the natural states of the beaches. Very few consider the impact on the local environment as they cut down trees and vegetation, dig into the mountainside and construct huge multi-story buildings with little space for plant life, trees or shrubs.
At our resorts, we strive to preserve the beauty of nature in a lush, green environment that reflects Thai culture and traditions. For this, we need your valued support as the costs for looking after the trees and shrubs and also the land near to the beach, are exceedingly high. Our peaceful and serene surroundings are designed for the relaxation and well-being of all of our guests and we believe in the importance of preserving the local environment for future generations, so they too can be touched by the beauty of nature and take over the responsibility of protecting the natural world.
With your ongoing support, we guarantee that future generations will hear bird song in our tropical orchid gardens, see the vibrant colours of many species of flowers, learn how to care for the trees and plants and encounter different kinds of wildlife, including our much loved rabbits. With this in their hearts they will grow up with beautiful minds attuned to the wonderful gifts of nature.
As the famous saying goes:
"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children".
Thank you for your kind support.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
A riveting historical narrative of the heart-stopping events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the first work of history from mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly
The anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts one of the most dramatic stories in American history—how one gunshot changed the country forever. In the spring of 1865, the bloody saga of America's Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of increasingly harrowing battles. President Abraham Lincoln's generous terms for Robert E. Lee's surrender are devised to fulfill Lincoln's dream of healing a divided nation, with the former Confederates allowed to reintegrate into American society. But one man and his band of murderous accomplices, perhaps reaching into the highest ranks of the U.S. government, are not appeased.
In the midst of the patriotic celebrations in Washington D.C., John Wilkes Booth—charismatic ladies' man and impenitent racist—murders Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. A furious manhunt ensues and Booth immediately becomes the country's most wanted fugitive. Lafayette C. Baker, a smart but shifty New York detective and former Union spy, unravels the string of clues leading to Booth, while federal forces track his accomplices. The thrilling chase ends in a fiery shootout and a series of court-ordered executions—including that of the first woman ever executed by the U.S. government, Mary Surratt. Featuring some of history's most remarkable figures, vivid detail, and page-turning action, Killing Lincoln is history that reads like a thriller.

We now know Officers Benjamin Persley and Christopher Baltenberger were in this cruiser on the way to a holdup alarm at National Beer and Wine when they collided with Carlisle and Disheba Kendricks in this Chevy Malibu at Oglethorpe and Monroe.
Police say the officers had their lights and sirens on.
"They were traveling East, the second vehicle was traveling North on Monroe and they struck at the intersection. The impact was at the intersection. The passenger and the driver of the silver vehicle were taken to the hospital," said Phyllis Banks, Albany Police Department.
The State Patrol is investigating the crash.
The holdup alarm at the liquor store turned out to be a false alarm.

Kidderminster zoologist talks evolution on BBC4 show
6:50am Friday 21st February 2014 in News
A KIDDERMINSTER zoologist will be making his first television appearance as a guest on a new BBC4 series about bones.
Nick Crumpton, a former King Charles I School head boy, will be discussing evolution with Secrets of Bones host Ben Garrod in the second episode to be aired on Tuesday.
Mr Crumpton, who recently completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge, will be talking about convergent evolution, which is when different animals evolve adaptations that look alike to deal with the same sort of environments.
He said: "I'm really excited about the series starting. Ben's a fascinating guy whose enthusiasm about his work is completely infectious, and he's going to be on our screens a lot more following Secrets of Bones.
"I have a feeling people are going to get a lot more out of visits to museums after watching him explain why the vertebrate skeleton has been such an evolutionary success."
The six-part series follows evolutionary biologist and master skeleton builder Ben Garrod looking at how bones have enabled vertebrates to colonise and dominate nearly every habitat on earth.
Mr Crumpton added: "Being a zoologist, any chance to do anything with the BBC's Natural History Unit is a dream.
"For most of us, watching episodes of Wildlife on One and obviously any of the Attenborough oeuvre were the first drivers into biology.
"And so the chance to tell thousands of people at once about what makes us excited about the natural world is an opportunity to give something back.
"I was nervous walking into the studio, but soon I was just wandering around checking out all the skeletons scattered around.
"Of course having lights, a microphone, and a camera in your face is always going to be a little off-putting, but it helped I was just nerding out with my friend.
"Ben and I know each other because the sort of zoology we do is quite similar, and it's surreal seeing him talk with the same excitement and ease about his passion on a TV as he does with his friends down the pub."

LH what an incredible find! I'm amazed how quickly you were able to transcribe it all, too. I have no idea if any of my relatives diaries or anything of that nature survives. I know my mom has a messy box full of stuff she will likely never go through, but that's the extent of it. That's an incredible first-hand look into history and travel in those days. Have fun with your friend again today!
Won enjoy the show! Again! LOL
It's almost noon here and the son's best friend is coming over to play for the afternoon. I am done with email for now and prepared to actually get some work done. I have a write-a-thon later this week with my Everett group (where we all get together in our regular meeting room, have a quick lunch, then everyone breaks out their laptops or notepads and gets busy writing. It's very motivating, as well as a fun way to get some work accomplished), so I need to get whatever I'm going to work on that day ready. I'm not really actively writing right now, per se, as I am still immersed in getting the notebooks all set up, but I'll either take a small file of that stuff to work on or figure out a scene I can actually write.
Hope you all enjoy your Sunday! :)
Good evening!
I've had a truly delightful day stabbing myself repeatedly with a needle whilst sewing name tags into new school uniform. Well, I call it sewing, I'm not sure anyone else would agree! Still it's done now. At least until the tags fall off. Daughter told me that she's in the habit of writing her name in pen on the garment label if the tags don't get replaced…………she could have told me that before I started "sewing!"
I think everything is now organised and ready for them to go back to school on Wednesday. I will be at work, so my DS will have to deal with any unexpected crises!
I bought daughter new school shoes yesterday……..£32 so**ing quid!!!!! She also got her hair cut, at a far more manageable £8.50, lol. She is very pleased with her new hair. She wanted a lot of the length off, so it now sits on her shoulders, but is still long enough to put up into a pony tail for school.
I thought the Back to School purchases wouldn't be too painful this year, but I am shocked and horrified that it's cost at least £150.
DS played in a big golf tournament today, and was delighted to come second!
I have been immersed in a new book at every opportunity I've had. It's the 5th in a series about a lawyer called Matthew Shardlake, set during the reign of Henry the 8th. I waited to buy this one as a real book, rather than on the Kindle. I have the rest of the series, and wanted it to sit on the bookcase in physical form. I can highly recommend the series. It's about a period of history in which I am very interested, and the research is wonderful, the author, (C J Sansom) really makes Tudor life real. The first book is called "Dissolution."
Lemon, the writing group sounds like a really good way to motivate each other. I hope you have a productive afternoon. What is happening to your finished book?
Evening all!
Had a pretty good day today, which included stopping at three different Borders stores. :) I was babysitting, and my nephew and I went out for breakfast, then off on our book shopping spree. They're now at 60-80% off, so we got some crazy prices, and I was surprised at how much was still left, although it was so depressing to see huge sections completely emptied out. None of them had much of a kids section left, so my nephew was a little disappointed, but we still managed to find him a few things. And I picked up several books from my Amazon wish list…including Delirium! I was pretty excited to spot it; as soon as I finish the book I'm reading now, I'll get started. I'd hoped to also find A Discovery of Witches, but no luck. There are still two other stores in the area, so hopefully I'll make it to them this week. Even though I do most of my book shopping on Amazon now, it really is sad to realize that there are basically going to be no bookstores in the area. There's one Barnes & Noble and one independent shop, both in the same town about 20 miles away, but otherwise, we were an area pretty much dominated by Borders/Waldenbooks. :(
LH, that's incredible! A story like that makes me want to write in my diary more. It's probably been a few years since I last wrote an entry. But even stuff that seems mundane to me now might be interesting to my descendants some day. I sometimes think it would be pretty cool if I could go back through every page of these polls and copy all of my posts (at least the ones talking about myself, not necessarily the replies to people), since in a lot of ways they function like a diary. I actually do sometimes look back when I'm trying to remember something, and find my posts from around that time to job my memory.
Lemon, good luck with your writing group! It's exciting to hear you talking about your work again! Getting back to the old routine. :)
Asti, I think I've finally figured it out, but I went through a few variations (including sorting, soaring, sobbing…) as I tried to figure out what you meant to say with "so**ing." LOL!
Take some books off my wish list, add some new ones on; that's always how the cycle goes, and I can never read fast enough to keep up with them all! Asti, I love stuff set in Tudor Endland, so I've added Dissolution to my wish list. ;) Maybe I'll get lucky and spot it at one of the Borders I visit next. :)
Morning all!
Happy Labor Day US-ians! Anyone doing anything fun today? Right now I'm laboring at work, lol, but my aunt's having a cookout, so depending on what time I'm able to get out of here, I'll probably stop by there.
Also, when I talked to my sister last night, she said she's begun having contractions on and off, so it'll definitely be any day now. She's hoping she can hold off until the end of the week though because she wants to be home for the kids' first days of school. The oldest starts first grade tomorrow, and the youngest is going to preschool Friday. He did preschool last year too, but this year they've moved the program to the other elementary school in town, so she's supposed to attend an orientation on Thursday.
It is raining in Atlanta so the race may be delay or ran tomorrow. It is raining here off and on all day. I'm so glad we got everything that was sitting outside brought inside. Jennifer took her oldest daughter school shopping so they are not here right now. I passed on going with them. Lol Instead I took a nap. Both her daughters were here over the weekend. This morning I made pancakes and sausages and it seemed like old times. At least I know I have room for both families if they are here at the same time since both daughter's families were here over the weekend. The only thing that's different is we have the boyfriends here too. That is more like when the girls were growing up. Lol
Asti Too bad your daughter didn't tell you sooner about the markers. Lol Congratulations on coming in second for your DS.
Won Hope the air show is as good on the second day as the first.
Lady Hawke That is so interesting about the diaries. It would be interesting for anyone to read but especially since it was your Great Grandmother or was it your grandmother?
I wrote this post yesterday. This morning I click on here and find it waiting for me unposted. Lol
Had to post that quickly because someone was coming in. I hadn't expected anyone else to be here today because of the holiday; they're all either off, or if they're working, they're out in the stores. It turned out to be the girl in the office next door who refused to move with the whole office-switch thing for the new girl, so I'm not exactly feeling warm-and-fuzzies toward her at the moment.
Anyway, what I hadn't finished saying was that if my sister does call to say that she's in full-blown labor, I'll be heading out to go stay with my nephews. I've got a back packed and ready just in case, LOL.
CoolG It is still raining in Atlanta, most of today. They post poned the race until Tuesday morning, the rain is not really leaving until Tuesday afternoon. They better hope it does. Seems like everytime there is a major race in Atlanta there is bad weather. Nascar took the second race from Atlanta, and with the delay this time the local economy is really hurting.
I am up early on my day off. Ugh!
The DS had to work but will be home early. =)
I have been trying to catch up but I am way back. :(
I have a ton of work that I brought home with me. Mostly scheduling corrections. We work all summer to place students based on reading scores only to find that not every child can be pegged based on that. Some need math challenges, some need basic math, others need to be on the first floor due to health issues. So all these moves are created, once the students are here present and actually breathing in a room. LOL! so all these scheduling changes are in a huge file for me to do on the computer.
I spent the weekend at a soccer tournament. It was so hot and humid on Saturday 98 degree with a heat index over 100. Sunday it was 68 and we were freezing. My husband took three of the teams he coaches. All three teams did superb. =) the DS is glowing. His U17 took first place. He has coached some of these girls since they were 8 years old. He usually gives the first place trophy to one of the girls for their contribution to the tournament. He picks a new one each time. Yesterday he chose one of our quiet but hard working defenders. She started crying and made us all cry. It was a very long but wonderful weekend.
Sounds like a busy weekend, MM! Congrats to the soccer teams and your husband! Don't do too much work from home today; take the time to enjoy a relaxing day before you head back into the craziness tomorrow. :)
Mr. Deanie I was wondering if the weather was as bad as they predicted yesterday. I hope they will be able to get the race in tomorrow. It's rainey here too.
My company has left and I'm by myself. Jennifer had to go back to MO since she has court tomorrow for her divorce. She will be back Wednesday. I need to straighten up my food shelf and the freezer. I went from having hardly any food here to having my can goods and things in my freezer plus all the food Jennifer brought. Since we just put everything away without any order, I need to straighten up the can goods plus the stuff in my freezer so I will know how to find things.
MM Sound like you had a nice weekend. I remember when all I time was taken up with the kids sports. The only difference it was my kids and these are the ones your DS coaches.
Both air shows were super! The weather was perfection, and the crowd & attractions were all exemplary! I had the VIP treatment! Spent the entire day with my friend the Lt. Commander, (in uniform) & I was wearing my old flight jacket emblazoned with my unit & project patches, & pilot's wings. Met the Blue Angels, & Fat Albert's crew… Got the 'close up' look-see at some pretty cool hardware! Ate tons of doggies & burgers, & sloshed it all down with ice cold brew! All in all a very, very fine weekend! ;+D
Aloha! ;)
Just a quick pop-in. I am trying to just veg-out today, but I do need to do a ccouple of loads of laundry and pay bills. Darn Laundry Lion & normal survival bills! Le pout!
Good evening!
I am a happy bunny. I had my first piano lesson today, after the summer break, and although my practise time has suffered a LOT, it was so good to have a lesson again. And my teacher has a new piano, which is just glorious. It has the most beautiful tone.
Jen, yay for buying books, and adding more to the list!
My very very best wishes to your sister for the birth.
And lol about puzzling over my post! I don't often type rude words, but £32 for a pair of weeny weeny shoes warrants it!!
MM, I hope that work calms down for you soon. It must be a logistical nightmare, especially with such a huge number of students.
And congrats to the girls, and to you and your DS on their success!
Won, your weekend sounds wonderful. It's so good to hear you had such a good time. After all the health problems you've been through, you really deserve it.
Hey everyone!!
Sorry I've been AWOL all week. I was attacking my homework. (Yes, attacking it. It was very frustrating. Why does the American government have to be so ridiculously complicated???) On the up side, I'm done! I finished at 12:30 the morning. LOL And now I'm stress-free!! Just in time for school tomorrow. Yay… \-..-/ Please excuse my bitterness. It's cloudy, a Monday, AND it's Labor Day, which never fails to put me in a bad mood.
I'll be lurking…
Evening all! I have just lost a post:( I am happy to report that this evening I received my Pottermore welcome email, but unfortunately it has come at a very inconvenient time. Tomorrow I have a clinic visit followed by food shopping and the following day we are travelling down to Hereford for a get-together with ukulele friends at a prize-winning pub.
A close friend of ours has just suffered two strokes, the first affected the sight in his left eye and he was subsequently diagnosed as having glaucoma and lazer treatment was arranged for this week. On Sunday he was discovered in the morning on the bathroom floor in a collapsed state and was duly whisked off to hospital. The second stroke was at the base of the brain and the outlook doesn't look promising.
I no longer have my hair long. My restricted arm movements meant that my hair was difficult to maintain in an untangled state so I now have shorter, neater hair but it will take some getting used to after ten years. I can't really relate to the image in the mirror at the moment, lol.
Lady Hawke Great work on the diary. What a fascinating document to have.
Won_Two I am delighted to hear how much fun you had at the air show, it was totally deserved:)
Asti Oh those back-to-school tapes on new items, SO tedious:(
Hermione Weasley I hope that your day improves.
CoolG Make sure that Jennifer learns your filing system and honours it, there is nothing more irritating than to find that items have been mis-filed even when one has no special difficulties to cope with.
I need an early night and a peaceful sleep. My dream life has been pretty hectic of late. I'll be back when I can.
I see that there have been 2 confirmed tornados touched down in Atlanta! & one possibly in Fayette… Be safe DEANIE !!!
Won_Two I am envious of you adventure with the Blue Angels. When they closed NAAS Atlanta we lost them coming to town, and being a retired Navy person. I looked forward to them city and Looking real cool. The tornados stayed to the North and East of the city, and as we are South we had rain but no heavy winds.
Afternoon, all!
We're just back from seeing DH 2 again. It was my 9th time, I'm not sure how many for each of the other family members. LP might be up to 5 or 6 now. I cried and cried, I don't think I'll ever get over that with this film. It was worse today, I think, knowing that was probably my last time seeing it in theaters, though I would like to sneak out once more by myself to make it an even 10. We'll see.
For the first time I did finally notice the ferret Albus has for his pet instead of an owl. The kids had mentioned that before, but I've always been so focused on him with Harry that I never paid much attention to the fur in the cage, LOL. I just assumed it was an owl or a cat and didn't look further. Hogwarts must have changed the rules on appropriate animals, although I always did wonder how Ron got away with a rat when they weren't on the list.
Won what a fabulous day at the air show! You really got the royal treatment, how fun.
CoolG I hope everything calms down now that she's "in" and nearly settled. Good luck with it all!
I sympathize with you fully over all the school prep, Asti, and the cost of the supplies, shoes and clothes. I can't even bring myself to add up what we've spent. I just shelled out another $150 last week to get the son all registered at school, buy his PE clothes, planner, ASB card (which they have to have to play sports – he's doing track in the spring), school photos, yearbook, etc., then another $30 for non-marking-soled tennis shoes for gym. sigh And that's only a small chunk!
Thank you all for the writing support! As always, I so appreciate it. It does feel really good to be getting back into it all again after almost a complete year off, really, with just minor things done during that time. I so want to get these notebooks done so I can get back to real writing, but I have to remind myself not to rush. It will defeat the purpose of them to barrel through without giving each item the proper time and thought necessary.
The book I technically finished last year is languishing for now. I don't know if I'll ever go back to it or not, it will need a LOT of revising to make it anything worth sending out. We'll see. Now that I've decided to truly focus on this series I don't want to confuse things by digging through that mess, LOL. There is something to be said for first novels staying at the bottom of very deep drawers. Sometimes that is the only place they belong!
MM try to still get some relaxation in there for yourself! That's so sweet about the soccer trophy. That's a memory she'll cherish forever.
Jen good luck to your sister and the new baby! I was chuckling a bit over her wanting to wait until everything is "done" before going into full blown labor, making sure she's there for the other kids to start school. That's so sweet, and such a "mom" thing to be worrying about right now, LOL. I hope the new little one will accommodate her wishes. :)
Stay safe through the nasty weather, Deanie & Mr. Deanie!
HermoineWeasley good for you for getting your work done!
I'm sorry to hear about your friend, Graymayne, I hope his condition improves much more than they think it's likely to. And I hope you love your new hairstyle once you get used to it. Going from long to short(er) is really an adjustment! I think I like mine now, just in time for the straightening treatment to be wearing off. Everyone but my DS seems to like it straight better than curly, and I admit I did finally come to like it. Which is a problem, because the expense and upkeep of maintaining it that way is prohibitive. sigh
We're BBQing for Labor Day, which is to say the DS is BBQing and I'm playing online. :) Just the way I like it! Happy Labor Day to all our US peeps, and enjoy the rest of your days/evenings, everyone!
We did lose power for about 10 seconds tonight. It was just long enough to turn off the computer and louse up our horrid cable system. ;)
I still need to finish off one load of laundry, but I'm as ready as I will ever be for work tomorrow. Yuck! ;)
No Pottermore email for me yet. ;)
Off to get that laundry finished. Le sigh! ;)
Elder Wand, Dragon Core, 13 Inch, Hard
LITTLE HAWKE got a Holly Wand, Dragon Core, 12 1/2 inches, surprisingly swishy
My DS is comfortable with me being in SLYTHERIN. He thinks in my theatre past before there was a child and sick parents that I was quite "edgy". I have just about forgotten I was ever edgy or how to be edgy. I have been too busy being loyal and diligent.
I don't know.
Morning all! I have been onto Pottermore and confined myself to the first chapter coverage. At this stage I am not overwhelmed by the experience but at least I have learned not to be secretive about my username because you can "friend" your friends for which you need to know their username. Fortunately I have documented the ones that have appeared on here, and for your records my username is PhoenixDragon38. Be careful not to put a space between the number and the name or it will be rejected.
Back to getting ready for my Physio Clinic. This will be my last visit because I have made little progress so I am being passed down the chain to the next stage:(
LH I'm truly speechless. This just goes to show how NOT valid this Sorting is, IMO. {{{{HUGS}}}}
Graymayne thanks for the friend request, I've accepted! I hope you enjoy the experience. :) Good luck at your visit!
No spoilers, but: I have officially finished the first book on Pottermore as of this evening. I hadn't been back since my ill-fated Sorting, but tonight was the night. Dueling has been temporarily disabled so there's no way to go in and gain serious House points, but other than that I think everything is working. I am somehow missing one chocolate frog card and have no idea where I've missed it. I even clicked back through everything after I was done – no luck. I'll have to compare notes with someone else who has them all eventually.
I believe I have sent friend requests to everyone whose user name I had, though I know I'm missing a couple. I'll double check the lists later. BTW, for anyone who hasn't realized this yet, there is a capability to give each user name in your "friends" list a nickname to help make it easier to identify who is who. I haven't done that yet, but I will. It's too hard to keep these very anonymous user names straight, I can barely remember my own!
Off to bed! See you all later today. :)
Morning all!
Just a very quick hello while my trainee is off working with someone else for a few minutes.
No new news on my sister; contractions are still just on and off, not consistent or time-able yet. My oldest nephew started first grade today, so she at least got to be there for that. He cried going in because he was so nervous. Poor thing, inheriting all of my family's anxiety issues. :/ However, I am so proud and happy I could burst…the kids were asked to bring in their favorite book, and he decided to bring HP! My sister was trying to talk him out of it because we haven't even finished (just got up to the Sorting the other day, which is another story that I'll save for when I have time) and she thought the teacher might have wanted more of a kids book, but I told her that it is technically a kids book, and if they're just going to be asked to talk about it, he's certainly already got stuff to say – he's been retaining an incredible amount of detail
I'm back…had to post in the middle of typing a sentence because my girl was coming back. She's off with someone again, so I'll just finish up. I was just going to say that my nephew's been retaining a lot of details, which I've been pretty surprised by. With some of the stuff, I think it's because he asks questions as we're reading, so we pause to talk about it, but there's other stuff that I just read right over, not even thinking about it and then next time he'll suddenly quote a line to me. I've been amazed. I told my sister to have him call me when he gets home today so I can hear how it went and whether he had to talk about the book to the class. My only fear is that some other kid who's already read it will spoil something for him.
I really hope I'll be able to move to my new office today. Even though I'm not completely looking forward to the new space, at least it will be my space. I just want to be able to get back to doing my own thing!
Morning All
Lady Hawke How do you feel about being sorted into Slytherin? All I can say is if you were sorted into Slytherin then I will probably be also. That is if I ever receive my email. I figured you would be put into Ravenclaw.
Now I want to see where Graymayne will be sorted into.
I have spent the morning paying bills. I had to go to the insurance office because I wanted to make changes. After I got back, I realized I hadn't called in my medicine so that means another trip out later. So much for getting everything done in one trip. Right now I am watching the race that was postponed in Atlanta.
It is cool here today. It still looks cloudy but isn't raining yet.
Jen I hope your newphew doesn't get spoiled either since you are taking your time reading the book. Good luck with the office switch.
Jen With luck, since the first book was originally rated for children at the 9 to 12 age range, none of the others have parents that think they can handle it. ;)
Besides, the sorting is a bit over half way through. Jo crammed an awful lot into each of the remaining chapters. Perhaps none of the other kids has a relative who is as involved as you are, and willing to discct te book with them. ;)
I do not feel well today. I have not slept well or deeply all weekend. And I'm running a low-grade fever. So, of course, when i walked in my PH was going through everything on my desk and re-sorting it all so that i do not know what is where! ;)
This, too, shall pass! ;)
One of us will retire eventually. That's sometimes all that keeps me going. ;)
Off to find myself! ;)
Deanie Why is she going thru things on your desk? Isn't that an invasion of your space?
COOLG, I think DEANIE'S PH is for lack of a better description, her "supervisor" or is supposed to be "teaching" her the new job. Unfortunately, she is more of a hinderance to DEANIE who is certainly capable of figuring out how to do things and how she feels comfortable doing them herself. This person seems to believe her roll is to "micromanage" DEANIE'S personal space so she can do the job "right" instead of just getting out of her way and letting her set herself up so she is comfortable. GRRRR!!!! Did I get that right, DEANIE?
COOLG, I'm not quite sure how I hit Slytherin. I'm not ambitious. I don't think I have a particle of "greatness" in me. I mostly just go from day to day trying to make ends meet and survive. I don't have any of the positive qualities of a Slytherin and I hope not the negatives. I do the genealogy stuff so maybe that makes me and elitist but I never made that the screening process for choosing my friends.
I do know why I probably was Sorted that way and it is very superficial. It is more a matter of my personal tastes. Back in my single days, my theatre days, I tended to more "dangerous" clothing than the average person. I did not look like I came out of a cookie cutter. I tended to be cinched in with corsets and garter belts under my clothes. No one ever saw them but I knew they were there. I have worn lingerie like a slinky silk nightgown as a dance dress. I was ballroom dancing then. You know how some of that stuff looks. I had hair that was short in the back and cut down over my left eye and I looked through it.
BUT underneathe all that I was always dutiful and responsible and probably wished I didn't have to be. So, the only rebellious part of me was the most superficial part.
So, when I was asked what item I wanted from that trunk I wanted the silver dagger. I always wanted a sword. I took a fencing for the stage class while I was pregnant.
The test was asking my preferences. I still have preferences but I have never bought in on how my preferences might suggest I would behave.
Now, I wear poor old dull mommy clothes with nothing special about any of me.
So, my Slytherinishness would be only the most superficial outside shell of how I once presented myself.
I would have thought that how I actually conduct myself would have been more important.
Now, I am aware how Slytherins are perceived and that would be okay if lived that way but I live as a Hufflepuff and wish I could live like a Ravenclaw. Doing any more than pretending to be a Slytherin would have always been too dangerous for me.

Transferring Maryland quarterback Danny O'Brien has picked...Wisconsin? Damn it.
Four players didn't make the trip to PSU's bowl game: Paul Jones and Derrick Thomas for academic reasons, and Curtis Drake and Shawney Kersey for "personal" reasons.
Today we have Tristan Thompson, Myck Kabongo, Manny Arop and more in today's Canadian Content.
Yes, it's time. The smoldering crater that is the Penn State men's basketball program is, until further notice, directly in our collective rearview mirror as we look ahead toward our one true love:...
You have to read down through the Michigan recruiting BS to get to the article saying Paul Jones will enroll early at Penn State.
Double-barrel QB news for PSU, and it's very good news.
Sadly, this is not another April Fools joke.
Looks like Scout has updated their rankings and our QB commit PJ Jones is the 3rd rated QB and a 5 Star. I know the star rating system is dumb, but it is nice to get one every now and then. Hopefully this 5 star QB is not like our last 5 star QB...

I decided to restore my sickle mower this weekend. I had read numerous posts on here about just hitting the rivets with a hammer and off pop the blades. Woosh. What kind of hammers was everyone else using? the bar and blades were pretty rusty so that may have had an effect but all I did with the hammer was flatten the heads of the rivets more and bend the bar a bit. So I went to the grinder and ground off one side and then with the punch. I still have about 6 to punch out. This was after generous helpings of PB blaster and several hours of work with sufficient breaks in between to say a confession or two for all the cursing. I even picked up an anvil off craigslist last night to make the job easier and to plan ahead for the rivets to come.
I am checking with Columbia tractor to see if they sell the perforated metal bar that holds the blades. If so, next time I will just chuck the old bar and old blades and start anew.
In spite of it all, it was a fun learning experience. I learned there has to be a better way for sickle mower number 2!

The holidays are a time for family, but what happens when the family is gone?
As a cop in the Westport area back in the 1970s, Richard White realized too many senior citizens were all alone.
"I noticed on calls they were by themselves because their children had jobs across the country and couldn't get home. These people are by themselves and that's no way to spend Christmas," he said.
For more than three decades, White has provided free Christmas Day meals to senior citizens who otherwise would be alone. He's the driving force behind KC Senior Citizen Christmas Dinner.
And KCTV5 has been there right along with him. Archived video shows former Channel 5 reporter Thurman Mitchell's coverage in 1989. We were there as White served Christmas dinner back in 1981.
It takes an army of volunteers to help pull off this annual event. Every year more than 200 Kansas Citians give up a part of their Christmas Day to make this meal a little more special for the guests.
"They're so happy. They come in smiling, we give them a pendent and they're so proud of that," White said.
"It's beautiful and lovely and I know all the people. We're all growing older together," said one senior citizen enjoying a meal in a previous interview.
The hard part is finding the money to pay for it all, so every year White walks his old police beat asking businesses in Westport and the plaza to help cover the costs.
It's not really about the food White said - what this has evolved into is all about relationships.
"They're anxious to see their friends and they say 'I sat with Bessie last year and I want to sit with her' so you do because that person has become part of their family, as well," he said.
He may have a little more gray hair than he did back when this all began, but he's still just as passionate.
"Some of these people will start calling in September and say 'Are we still having a Christmas dinner?' I say after 30 years I guess I'll keep doing it because I'm not about to quit now," White said.
In previous years, more than 500 people were served free of charge.
Because of White's fundraising efforts, the generous donations from local businesses and the work of volunteers, the Christmas dinner lives on.
If a person is over 60 and doesn't have family in town to spend Christmas with, they are officially invited to a free dinner this year.
Call 816-572-2646 to make a reservation. This year there are four locations serving Christmas dinner. Go to kcseniorcitizendinner.com for a list of the locations.
