SAN FRANCISCO — Pilots of Asiana Flight 214 were flying too slowly as they approached San Francisco airport, triggering a warning that the jetliner could stall, and they tried to abort the landing but crashed barely a second later, the head of the National Transportation Safety Board said Sunday. The airline said the pilot at the controls had little experience flying that type of plane.
While federal investigators began piecing together what led to the crash, San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault disclosed that he was looking into the possibility that one of the two teenage passengers who died Saturday actually survived the crash but was run over by a rescue vehicle rushing to aid victims as the plane burst into flames. Remarkably, 305 of 307 passengers survived the crash and more than a third didn't even require hospitalization. Only a small number were critically injured.
Accident investigators are trying to determine whether pilot error, mechanical problems or something else was to blame for the crash. At a news conference, NTSB chief Deborah Hersman disclosed the Boeing 777 was traveling at speeds well below the target landing speed of 137 knots per hour, or 157 mph.
"We're not talking about a few knots," she said.
Hersman described the frantic final seconds of the flight as the pilots struggled to avoid crashing.
Seven seconds before the crash, pilots recognized the need to increase speed, she said, basing her comments on an evaluation of the cockpit voice and flight data recorders that contain hundreds of different types of information on what happened to the plane. Three seconds later, the aircraft's stick shaker — a piece of safety equipment that warns pilots of an impending stall — went off. The normal response to a stall warning is to boost speed and Hersman said the throttles were fired and the engines appeared to respond normally.

The staff was so lovely. They wanted to help us in anyway possible. The pool is nice but needs more deck chairs and a bit more upkeep on the gardens and brickwork. The beds were very comfortable in the rooms. The food was good. They made us eggs and pancakes the first morning. They will give you rides to anywhere in the city.

Anna is ReadyPosted: July 29, 2014 Filed under: Clothing | Tags: anna scholz, christmas 2014, Dresses, Fatshion, Plus size fashion 2 Comments
NooooooOOooooOOoooooooooo!!!! I'm having too good a summer to be thinking about autumn winter fashion. NOT NOW PLEASE. The sun is blazing, the shades are on, the sandals are in daily use- I'M NOT READY.
Anna is though. Anna is ready and raring to go with the White collection launching this week. Luxurious fabrics, sultry looks and beautiful prints- everything you expect from an Anna Scholz collection plus a new print that incorporates Anna's own fingerprint. Now that's what you call a signature feature. See below for preview images from the campaign- if you can stand it in this weather.
My First TimePosted: July 13, 2014 Filed under: Clothing, My Wardrobe | Tags: dress, Fatshion, monsoon, Plus size fashion, plussize, white dress 2 Comments
Are you getting married? Is that your baptismal dress? Both comments I've heard today. No, and no.
I've never worn a white dress. Apart from white vests and tees, I don't even have any white clothes*. White is just not a colour that I wear and technically speaking its not even a colour at all, really. It's a well known fact that I love brights so when people see me in white I understand the propensity to think there must be a logical reason behind it. I bought this in Monsoon last summer but have never worn it. It was the embroidered spots that caught my eye, the Little House On The Prairie styling that reeled me in, and the sale price that sealed the deal. The look with the natural tan accessories and soft hairstyle is somewhat puritanical, and I feel like I should be skipping barefoot through a meadow, but in a strange way I feel kind of… liberated from colour. Is this a normal reaction to wearing all white? There was a guy at my church who only ever wore white clothing. I used to think he was a little odd. I know his motivation was more spiritual than sartorial, but I'm beginning to see the appeal. Am I losing my mind? Someone please help before I lose it completely and start bleaching all my clothes.
If you want to try out the washing-powder-white look I've done some searching for the best white dresses I could find. Just prepare yourself for the questions.
*Oh, I forgot about this blouse.

New shop item!
I'm on a sewing roll! This week's addition to the shop comes in the form of this bold cotton top with a measuring tape print. The bodice is fitted and has an open ended zip at the back so that the back opens up completely. Unlike the world print top, the zipper is hidden. This beauty is a size 22 but I I have more fabric so if you would like one custom made, please ask! Detailed measurements are:
Bust: 49.5″/ 126cm
Waist: 45.5″/ 115cm
Shoulder to hem length: 28.5″/73cm
Sleeve length: 8.5″/ 22cm
Cuff: 9.5″/ 24cm
There's a certain irony is a larger woman wearing clothing that's covered in measurements as many of us keep our vital statistics a closely guarded secret. This top laughs in the face of such contrived modesty and is not for the faint of heart!
Around the world in a dayPosted: June 3, 2014 Filed under: Beloved Endeavour Vintage, Buy Me!, Clothing | Tags: Beloved Endeavour, Fatshion, Nautical, Plus size, Skirt Leave a comment
The headless fattie strikes again.
I'm slowly but surely working through the pile of fabric that's threatening to evict me from my own home. I've made another skirt, this time using the Vintage Marco Polo/ Dora the Explorer inspired nautical cotton print that I recently added to the stockpile because I'm weak.
The skirt is a UK30 with a 50″/ 127cm waist. For more details please see the Etsy Listing.
Also, I'm sporting a new tshirt from M&S which is here.

The latest handcrafted addition to the Etsy shop….
I've put it on for the photo but I'm so darn pleased with how its turned out that I'm going to make another one for myself, pronto. Its a great vintage style print with a rock 'n' roll edge, on cotton poplin fabric. If you look carefully you will see that the text mentions the likes of The Sex Pistols, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Coldplay and um…. McFly? It really is quite an amusing read.
The skirt shown has a 47.5″/ 121cm waist and is 31.5″/ 80cm long. There is an exposed zipper at the back with a small button on the inside for extra security, and side pockets. I can make it shorter if you would prefer a shorter length.

I am designing a book for a therapist who developed an "End Childhood Defiance" program. In the program he has three levels: red, yellow, and green. Throughout the book he capitalizes each of these words as if it's a proper noun (ie: Put the child on Red for twenty-four hours, and then back to Green). He does the same thing with his 3 concepts of simple, respect, and consistent (ie: The three concepts are Simple, Respect, and Consistent.) Is it correct to capitalize these words? He plans on going to press next week. I'd like to advise him correctly. Thank you.

I'm descended from Solomon& Mary Ann's son, David. You mentioned that there were two other daughters of Henry andElizabeth listed in the 1860 Census; any ages for them, or forChristian? Do you know how this Henry is related to the other Kerchersin Mont. County?

In 2012, we saw a huge spike in app downloads and usage on Christmas Day. 328 million downloaded happened on December 25, as compared to the monthly average of 155 per day.
This makes sense, because many people get new mobile devices or iTunes cards as gifts, so they rush to try them out. But what about other holidays? Tapjoy asked that very question and they came up with their own answer. They tracked app usage and engagement on three holidays then compared the data to an average day from the same month.
Who knew Chinese New Year was such a killer day for mobile! As for Valentine's Day, clearly it was all those guys rushing to buy a last minute gift for their sweetie.

Since we're on the topic of SSD's....
So I received the laptop (finally) and I boot it up, only to be faced by the store demo screen that required a password to remove - with no instructions on the CD or anything that came with it to tell me the password. Got into safe-mode and got rid of the store demo.
This thing came loaded with literally 20-25 pointless programs. I've heard of "laptop bloatware" but seriously? So much?? The entire Cyberlink suite, an MS Office that hasn't been activated, Google Chrome, Bing/Google/Yahoo/Ask toolbars (are you fking kidding me?) and countless other stuff I can't remember. The CPU runs at 68-78c under WoW (apparently that's quite cool for a laptop) and already felt super-sluggish compared to my desktop in terms of speed/responsiveness.
This laptop is literally crying out for a clean rebuild on an SSD, so I'm hunting for a 120-128gb. I have the following options, going in price/per GB from lowest to highest:
Kingston SSDNow V100 128GB
Kingston SSDNow V200 128GB
Intel 320 Series 120GB
Corsair Force 3 Series 120GB
Crucial M4 128GB
Now before you yell "hurr durr go for the M4/Force3 of course!", there is a very high chance I'll be limited to Sata II speeds, I don't expect this laptop to be running a 6gb/s interface inside, so an M4/Force3 will be choked on the interface. SSD's aren't about raw sequential speeds anyway. Anyone have any input on those SSD's, especially the Kingston? I've heard very little about Kingston.

Honestly, I'm surprised the 320-series is less than the Force 3 over there.
Either way, I run the 320-series 160GB in my notebook.
Don't get fooled by performance numbers alone. It feels more responsive and faster than my Corsair Force F60 (~= Vertex II) sitting in my desktop despite having worse numbers to show for it, in everything except wow-loadingscreens, where it's only about twice the speed of my Spinpoint f3
Xuvial, I'm pretty sure that usually a SATA III SSD on SATA II will still perform better than most SATA II SSDs. Plus if you can get one for a great deal, why not?

Oh, wow. I was wondering why I had so much money.
You guys wanna know why? Heeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go:
I ordered my goods on the 17th. But they never actually took my money... till yesterday. What the bleeding motherf--?!
And I have yet to go get my new monitor, because goddamn mail were being twerps about it. Sent from Oslo two days ago early in the morning. But it didn't get sent from Stavanger to my city before the day after. Then finally, despite there being a literal 2 hour ride between here and Stavanger, and it being shipped from Stavanger 9:30 AM, they still didn't receive it... before today.
I swear to god my childhood self can't hold a candle to the rage I've got now. :|
/cleaving time
I ordered a squishable narwhal, and UPS decided to ship it to Dartmouth College, near Boston, Massachusetts instead of Dartmouth, NS. Now I am waiting for the real delivery which was supposed to be yesterday, but they never came.

Bare with me here, want to help this guy make his rig even better. :P
Stock cooler on a [email protected]... RoG motherboard... Thermaltake LitePower 700w... 6870.... Acer 1080p 27"....
Why? Stock coolers not only look dumb, but they are terrible at heat dissipation, and for 4.4GHz I would not suggest anyone use a stock cooler. Stock coolers are for going up to 4.0GHz if you simply don't have the budget to get yourself a Hyper 212+ or Corsair A70. It's apparent to me that I don't think you really know what you were buying when you made this purchase (if you already made it.)
A 1080p 27" monitor is generally frowned upon, much less it being a TV...
Seeing as how this is likely a gaming build, I think you really made some poor choices when it came to certain parts, certain parts whom you'll never make full usage of.
For instance, an i7-2600K, for $100 less you can have a CPU that is just as powerful in games, the i5-2500K. That $100 alone could go towards a Radeon 6950 or an NVidia GTX 560 Ti, either of which would be improvements over a 6870, which, while a good card and even better Xfire'd, just does not pair up well with a 2600K+Maximus IV, it will bottleneck the CPU, no doubt.
We then get to the incredibly overkill motherboard, which while is an mATX, is still rather expensive for the form factor and I know I and some others feel the Maximus IV Gene-Z mATX seems like a fake Maximus, since they are supposed to be big, honking motherboards with tons of features and PCIe slots for expansion, but this pretty much takes that all away yet still asks some $170, whereas you could get just as good an mATX motherboard for far less.
I personally would not have gone for that power supply for 2 reasons, one I don't trust Thermaltake for almost anything, especially power supplies as I hear about more issues with theirs than anyone else's. 2 because 700 watts is a ridiculous amount of wattage for a 2600K+6870... so I'm really wondering why you opted for this, it almost feels like it's an ibuypower.com system. I would suggest a good 550-650 watt PSU from Seasonic, Silver Stone, Corsair, or Antec, personally.
I really would urge you to either switch to a 2500K+6950/560 Ti, or if you drop to a different mATX motherboard you could even up to a 6970 or 570, which would be an even nicer pairing with the CPU. Hell a 2500K+6870x2 system would actually work really well here, since you have the 2xPCIe 8x lanes available to you. Course you could just drop the CPU to the 2500K, keep the 6870, and drop the motherboard down a bit and get yourself a sweet 60-90GB SATA III SSD. Hope it's not too late for these changes, I think you'd be much happier! Unless you plan to do rendering, then half the stuff I suggested is moot.
Edit: Woohoo post #5,000 in the Post your gaming setup thread!

My goal from the beginning was to create an adventure that would intrigue viewers, be a puzzle, and built to an enduring story. With that said, the mysterious "Kubluka" key from the Marcus Peblo series is back in his own mystical adventure. This is one of my biggest movies ever. I put alot of work into this short. Please be patient and wait for the movie to load. Also, this animated short is very graphics intensive. On slower computers you might want to turn the quality of the movie to a lower setting for optimum performance.
This was one of my illest cartoons ever made, relive the adventure and watch it again!
what...............the........ .....fuck????????????????????? ????????????????//////
i'm conflicted about this piece. on one hand, it was pretty interesting to watch the key's journey.
... on the other hand, it was REALLY long. or at least it felt that way. and it wasn't like it was funny or exciting or scary... so there was very little to keep me watching for that length of time. except to see the end...
nyeh... it was good, but short of great.
That ruled
It was really cool. like some sort of artistic trip thru time.
Nice job. Very creative. Lets see what else you can come up with :)

R&D, innovation and economic growth: spatial heterogeneity in Europe
AbstractIn this paper, we aim at re-assessing the undisputed positive relationship between innovation and economic growth by questioning the view that R&D (and formal knowledge in general) equates innovation and innovation equates regional growth. We rather propose that these linkages are strongly mediated by local territorial assets and explore this relationship at the regional level (NUTS2) for 262 regions of the European Union. In doing so, we rely upon an original database encompassing several knowledge and innovation indicators, ranging from R&D expenditures, patent data, to newly released data on different types of innovation: product, process and marketing and/or organizational innovation, derived from the Community Innovation Survey 2002-2004 wave. The data set also includes several variables aimed at capturing different elements characterizing possible different attitudes and patterns of innovation that we control for, such as regional preconditions for knowledge and innovation creation and acquisition (namely, accessibility, trust, structural funds funding, foreign direct investments). The results of the analysis confirm that R&D is an important driver of economic growth. However, this result hides a larger territorial heterogeneity and needs some qualifications. Firstly, only regions strongly endowed with elements supporting knowledge creation processes are likely to benefit from the positive returns to R&D; a critical mass of R&D investments is therefore needed in order to exploit the eventual benefits arising from increasing returns to research expenditures. Secondly, once controlling for innovative behavior, R&D does not show anymore a significant impact on GDP growth. In fact, whereas the growth benefits accruing from R&D look rather selective and concentrated in a relatively small number of regions, the benefits accruing from innovation look not only of greater magnitude but more pervasive and beneficial for a larger number of regions. From these findings, we ultimately draw ad-hoc policy suggestions.

Application note: powering FPGA systems using DC/DC μmodule regulators — part 2 download
The approach described in this application note from Linear Technology uses four DC/DC µmodule regulators in parallel to increase output current while sharing the current equally among each device. This solution relies on the accurate current sharing of the µmodule regulators to prevent hotspots by dissipating the heat evenly over a compact surface area. The solution casts no thermal shadow on its surrounding components, further optimising thermal performance of the entire system.
Application note: powering complex FPGA systems using DC/DC μmodule regulators download
In a recent discussion with a system designer, the requirement for his power supply was to regulate 1.5V and deliver up to 40A of current to a load that consisted of four FPGAs. This is up to 60W of power that must be delivered in a small area with the lowest height profile possible to allow a steady flow of air for cooling. The power supply had to be surface mountable and operate at high enough efficiency to minimise heat dissipation. Such a solution requires an innovative design, ...
Application note: high-voltage, low-noise DC/DC converters download
Photomultipliers (PMTs), avalanche photodiodes (APDs), ultrasonic transducers, capacitance microphones, radiation detectors and similar devices require high-voltage, low-current bias. Additionally, the high voltage must be pristinely free of noise. This application note from Linear Technology describes a variety of circuits featuring outputs from 200V to 1,000V with output noise below 100µV measured in a 100MHz bandwidth.
Application note: power conversion, measurement and pulse circuits download
This application note forms Linear Technology's eighth circuit collection publication. Topics include a JFET-based DC/DC converter powered from 300mV supply; a bipolar transistor-based 550mV input DC/DC converter; a floating output, variable potential battery simulator; and more.
Application note: developments in battery stack voltage measurement download
Automobiles, aircraft, marine vehicles, uninterruptible power supplies and telecommunications hardware represent areas utilising series-connected battery stacks. These stacks of individual cells may contain many units. In such systems, it is often desirable to accurately determine each individual cell's voltage. Obtaining this information in the presence of the high 'common-mode' voltage generated by the battery stack is more difficult than might be supposed.
White paper: Seaward Group considers the preventative role of portable appliance testing download
In this white paper, Jim Wallace, associate director of the Seaward Group, offers an overview of the in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment and appliances. It is doubtful whether any single issue has raised as much discussion and debate in the electrical services industry as that provoked by portable appliance testing.
White paper: IEC 62310 for static transfer systems — ensuring performance and safety download
Before the IEC 62310, prior to 2008, there was no product standard for the 'static transfer system' (STS). The closest standard used by manufacturers was the IEC 62040 (uninterruptible power systems, or UPSs). Indeed it is a good reference, but the weak points are definitions and tests. This paper from Socomec explains why users should ask for IEC 62310-compliant STSs.
Technical guide extract: industrial communication — RS485 bus download
As this technical guide from Socomec UPS explains, an RS485 bus is defined by the standard EIA-TIA-485-A and the TSB-89-A application guidelines. A RS485 transceiver is from a standard point of view connected through three points on the network.

Love Jim Jefferies. He's always great. Warm-up comedian not bad. Did not care for the whole franchised Improv thing. Worst coffee ever.
Australian born Jim Jefferies is a headline performer in countries such as America,Canada, Asia, South Africa, Europe and the UK. Regarded as one of the fastest rising stars in the comedy world, his shockingly charming style has made him one of the most sought after comics on the world stage. Jim gets away with jokes that most comedians wouldn't touch due to his ability to both charm and offend the crowd with equal measures.
Jim returned to the Edinburgh Festival, where he performed a month long, sold-out run of his critically acclaimed, smash-hit new solo show Hammered. As one of the most successful acts at Edinburgh several years running, Jim performed for over 5,000 people. Jim was the talk of the Montreal "Just for Laughs" Comedy Festival in 2007, wowing audiences with his performances in the Nasty Show, and most notably, his one-hour solo show. Jim first appeared at the "Just for Laughs" Festival in 2005, where he performed in the highly acclaimed "Nasty Show," and garnered one of the biggest press articles at the festival. Jim's one-hour HBO special I Swear to God aired in 2009,
In America Jim has also been seen on HBO's "Down and Dirty with Jim Norton." In England, he has appeared on such shows as ITV2's "Comedy Cuts" and "If.Com Eddies," as well as on BBC1's "Heaven & Earth," and BBC2's "Never Mind the Buzzcocks." Jim was also on Channel 4's "The History of Offensive Humor," as well as "The World Stands Up" and "Edinburgh and Beyond" for the Paramount Comedy Channel.

Energy Reform goes far beyond expectations. The 75-year monopoly by state-owned PEMEX ends, and a competitive wholesale power market is created.
On December 12, 2013, the lower house of the Mexican Congress approved the longawaited energy reform bill (the "Energy Reform"). The Energy Reform was initially discussed and approved by the Senate and then approved by the lower house, in both cases, with the overwhelming majority vote of the members of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) and the conservative National Action Party (Partido Accion Nacional).
To come into force, the Energy Reform must be approved by the majority of the 31 local congresses of Mexico, a process that is currently underway, and then published in the Federal Gazette (Diario Oficial de la Federación). To date, 17 local congresses have approved the Energy Reform; accordingly, the bill will now be sent to the President for publication. The Energy Reform will come into force the day after its publication (the "Effective Date").

Native Azaleas for Florida and the Deep South
Particularly prominent in my childhood memories are flower-picking excursions on the first warm days of spring. Mother delighted my sisters and me when she suggested a trip into the woods to pick honeysuckle. We didnt know that they were really native azaleas, and we certainly had never heard such words as Rhododendron canescens. Nevertheless, these intoxicatingly fragrant flowers evoke fond memories every spring when they bloom in woods and landscapes throughout the South.
Peat Moss Alternatives: Coconut Coir and Rice Hulls.
Looking into peat moss alternatives makes sense, from both financial and environmental viewpoints. Coconut coir and rice hulls are two currently popular candidates for greener choices. This spring, Im trying both as additions to my regular potting mix.

Mountain Laurel Memories
There is nothing prettier than a cluster of Mountain Laurel blossoms. I wore them in my hair, I tucked them into the pockets of my overalls, and I tied them on my wrists when I played dress up. They refuse to grow for me here in the flatlands of western Kentucky, but in my memories they are always in bloom.

Black Walnut Trees Produce Juglone, Toxic to Many Other Plants
Black Walnuts produce a substance known as juglone which is toxic to many plants, and can cause allergic reactions in humans and horses. Juglone is excreted primarily in the roots, saturating the soil in a radius of 50-60 feet or more in a mature tree. The buds and nut hulls are also high in juglone.

Small nut trees in the Home Fruit and Nut Garden
Most nut trees are too large to grow more than one or perhaps two in a home fruit and nut garden. However, a few familiar (and some unfamiliar) nut trees are suitable, depending on your climate zone. Almonds, cashews, filberts (hazelnuts), pine nuts and pistachios are some of the well-known smaller nut trees.

Creasy Greens... Say WHAT??
At the first hint of spring in the Appalachian Mountains, folks start looking for creasy greens. They are the earliest of any of the wild greens, often poking through the snow, and although traditionally hunted by foragers they are now grown commercially. Creasy greens are usually cooked long, like kale, mustard or turnip greens but they are equally good raw in a fresh salad.
The Best Veggie Garden $1 Can Buy
With my Colorado hard clay soil, I struggled to raise vegetables. Not just good vegetables, but any vegetables.

Good vegetables never resulted. But this year I got serious about it, and in a very cheap way.

Shrubs for Shade
A magnificent spreading maple tree towers over the house and back garden, providing relief from the summer sun--a refreshing spot to relax and enjoy the floral scenery. But even moderate shade poses a challenge for planning a garden or flower bed. Annuals and perennials are easily tucked here and there, but what if you want a nice woody ornamental as a focus piece, or to provide privacy to your restful spot? Here are some tried-and-true shrubs for shady gardens.

Bobbie Rivers has always enjoyed volunteering in her community and when she heard about the Valley Queens Scholarship Organization's competition she saw an opportunity to combine something she does with something she wants to do: attend the University of California, San Diego.During the 2014 pageant, held in November at the Tahquitz High School Performing Arts Center, Bobbie captured the title of Miss Teen Hemet."As with any pageant you never know who will win," said Miguel Sarasa, executive director of the Valley Queens Scholarship Organization. "The judges' scores choose the winners and all four of our titleholders are great examples of youth in our valley, along with the 18 other young ladies who competed."
Bobbie, an eighth-grader at Acacia Middle School in Hemet, said she had an amazing time at the pageant and all the rehearsals.
"The other girls were so friendly and supportive of each other," she said.
Tammy Rivers said the experience of serving as Miss Teen Hemet will be a great opportunity for her daughter, who was born at Hemet hospital and has lived in the city her entire life.
"I hope that Bobbie can see what an amazing person that she is and that she can build on the volunteering that she already does in the community," Rivers said.
An important activity the duo shares is being involved with the Hemet/San Jacinto Council PTA (Parent Teacher Association).
"I became the first and up to this point, only, student member of the council at the beginning of seventh grade," Bobbie said. "I have been a board member at the school level since sixth grade."
She said the council represents all schools in the Hemet and San Jacinto districts.
"PTA is a separate entity from the school district, although we work hand in hand with the schools at both the school and district levels," Bobbie explained. "We are very lucky to have superintendents that support us and our work."
She also serves on the Associated Student Body at her school.
"I am a proud nerd," she admits. "I went to Regional Science Fair last year and this year I competed in my school's spelling bee. I hold a 4.0 (grade point average) and have since I started at Acacia."
Bobbie said the title has given her new reasons to attend events and attended about 20 during the first month of her reign.
"The part I like most about being Miss Teen Hemet is when I get to make people smile," she said. "When a little girl saw me at the Veteran's Day event at Gibbel Park and called me a princess, my smile was as big as hers was."
Tammy Rivers has lived in Hemet for 16 years and did not realize all of the events and programs that happen in the area until her daughter started volunteering at them with the other Valley Queens.
"Bobbie is one of the youngest titleholders we have had and is an accomplished young lady," Sarasa said. "We expect great things from her."

RESIDENCE: Hemet
NOTABLE: First student member of Hemet/San Jacinto Council PTA and current Miss Teen Hemet.

Grant for museum's war project
10:52am Monday 16th June 2014 in News By Morwenna Blake
SALISBURY Museum has secured £10,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to support its First World War centenary exhibition, family and schools programme.
The award comes from the HLF's First World War: then and now programme and will allow the museum to create a major exhibition focusing on Salisbury's contribution to the conflict as well as a programme of family and school events.
The three-month exhibition, which opens on October 4, will concentrate on the Home Front from 1914 to 1919 and will include stories about local people, places and events.
It will also tell the story of Salisbury Plain's pivotal military role in preparing British and Empire troops for war.
The HLF award also supports a partnership project between the museum, Salisbury Cathedral and the Kiwi School at Bulford exploring the Home Front in 1914 and comparing the experiences of military families then and now, and why we remember.
Museum learning and outreach officer Ruth Butler said of the partnership: "This is a key part of our centenary project and we're delighted to be working with the cathedral learning team, the Kiwi School and storyteller Lizzie Bryant.
"The HLF grant also allows us to offer financial support to eight other schools in the Bulford, Amesbury area to cover some of the costs of transport so they can visit both Salisbury Museum and Cathedral."
Secondary schools in and around Salisbury will have the opportunity to see a one-man stage show – Our Friends The Enemy – which explores the 1914 Christmas Truce, which will be staged at Salisbury Arts Centre in October.
There will also be a public performance on October 8.
The museum is already working with history coordinators and headteachers from primary schools in the Salisbury area to support the teaching of First World War topics and will be delivering handling sessions in schools and at the museum throughout 2014 and beyond.
Part of the grant will finance First World War-themed family events at the museum and at Bemerton Heath Centre plus a number of walks and talks, including a walk around the Fovant badges.

Lags' hero Chris Huhne picks up new Twix in high-security prison
Bars behind bars: Chris Huhne has allegedly received a warm welcome at Wandsworth Prison, including some sweet treats
While Vicky Pryce has been transferred from harsh Holloway in North London to an open jail in the Kent countryside, her former husband Chris Huhne has adjusted surprisingly well in the less salubrious accommodation offered by Wandsworth prison.
Indeed, far from facing the opprobrium of fellow inmates who might relish having a disgraced minister in their midst, Huhne has been given a warm welcome - and even received gifts of chocolate bars, I am told.
According to self-styled 'Lord' Eddie Davenport, who is serving nearly eight years for his part in a £4.5 million fraud, Huhne has been treated with considerable respect.
'You'd think he would be getting a bad time from all the men in here, some of whom are very serious gangsters,' Davenport told a visitor to the prison this week.
'But you would be quite wrong. It's astonishing. Everybody feels rather sorry for him, plus he has also become a bit of a hero figure.
because there is a lot of macho posturing in here and everyone sticks
together when it comes to a case, such as his, involving a woman who
they think has behaved badly by getting revenge on a man.
'That's how they view what happened to him.
'Everybody wants to have their picture taken with him.'
Playboy conman Davenport — who was the 'ringmaster' of a vast scam in which cash-strapped entrepreneurs, including designer Elizabeth Emanuel and fashionable cobbler Patrick Cox, were duped into handing over cash for 'due diligence' checks in return for investments that never materialised - adds: 'You could describe it as male bonding. Everyone has been nice to Chris, making cheery comments and giving him stuff.
'You are not allowed to bring much in with you so people have been sorting him out with deodorant, soap, aftershave — things like that.
'They have also been offering to get him little extras from the canteen that improve life a bit, like Twix bars.'
Welcome to Wandsworth: Other prisoners at Wandsworth have welcomed the ex-minister, jailed for eight months for perverting the course of justice, according to a source
Special treat-ment: Fellow inmates have been bringing Twix bars, soaps and deodorants to cheer up Chris Huhne in prison
The two men met in the prison's reception area. 'I said: "Hello Chris, I'm Eddie Davenport," and he said: "Hello, I know who you are!" '
Adds Davenport: 'It's nice to have him here — we all know what it's like when a woman turns. He's not in his own clothes like most of us but in a grey prison tracksuit which you get to start with.
'He's also in a cell to himself, but we hear that he's due to be transferred somewhere else less secure soon.'
Gemma's royal Derby dilemma
Ambassador: Actress Gemma Chan, girlfriend of Jack Whitehall
If comedian Jack Whitehall joins his girlfriend Gemma Chan at the Derby this summer, he could face a tricky encounter.
For boisterous Jack risks bumping into the Queen, who considers the event a highlight of her sporting calendar.
But Marlborough-educated Jack, 24, was at the centre of a furore over his part in Channel 4's Big Fat Quiz of the Year, which featured risque jokes about Her Majesty and Scottish singer Susan Boyle.
Actress Gemma, who is six years his senior, has just been named as the official face of the Investec-sponsored racing weekend.
And as a festival ambassador, Gemma will no doubt be welcome in the royal stand.
To mark her appointment, milliner Philip Treacy has designed two hats.
While one is a classical white creation, the other is a more flamboyant piece - reminiscent of the headgear the Irishman made for Princess Beatrice to wear to Prince William's wedding.
It appears to give Gemma - who has had roles in Doctor Who and alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock, and met her beau on the set of comedy Fresh Meat - a giant fuchsia flame on her head.
Says a Derby official: 'She has said she loves the drama of the hats, but has not chosen which one she will wear yet on the day.'
No doubt Jack will be on his best behaviour.
Can Coco channel Kate Effect?
She can count model Daisy Lowe and pop singer Pixie Lott among her fans, but couturier Coco Fennell refuses to cash in on her success and raise her prices — even if the Duchess of Cambridge were to step out in one.
'Obviously, it would be amazing if Kate wore one of my designs,' she says. 'But I deliberately only make dresses which cost between £50 and £150, and that won't change. I want women to be able to afford to buy them.
'If I decided to charge hundreds of pounds they wouldn't be accessible any more.'
The youngest daughter of jeweller Theo Fennell, Coco, 24, has her frocks custom-made in a factory in Vietnam. And she has been moving east in other ways as well. 'I've bought a place in Shoreditch,' she tells me at a book-signing for her mother Louise's novel Fame Game.
'It was fun growing up in Chelsea. It's really pretty, but it's just not trendy. I'm really into arts, music and film and East London is full of that stuff. It's creative and vibrant.'
She is of course used to stories with unlikely endings, but little could prepare Dame Mary Archer for the extraordinary tale of her vanishing cat. Sunita, a two-year-old Bengal, disappeared for a week and Dame Mary, wife of author Jeffrey was sadly convinced she was lost for good.

But after scouring houses and fields near their home in Grantchester, Cambridge, they received a call from a vet who had found Sunita 25 miles away.
It emerged the moggie had clambered into a van delivering scones and milk to tea rooms next door to Lord and Lady Archer and was unwittingly transported to Fenstanton, where she lived rough before being taken to a vet, who identified her by her microchip.
'I'm very lucky. It was a very worrying and awful week,' Dame Mary says. 'It is wonderful to have her back.
'A few days after she got home she promptly jumped on the ice of our pond and fell through. I'm sure she has used up all her nine lives now.'
Publisher Naim Attallah is not optimistic about Chancellor George Osborne's Budget today. 'Like Gordon Brown before him, he has a grim look, a touch of arrogance and a personality problem,' he says.
'He lacks charm, appears distant and inhabits a sphere of his own.' In order to succeed, opines the Quartet chairman, a modern politician 'needs to capture the crowd, not only through the strength of his competence, but also through his ability to engage with them.'
He adds: 'So far he has failed miserably on all counts.'
Spirited Eve Branson, 88, took exception at being portrayed as a hapless old lady after Kate Winslet carried her out of her son Sir Richard's blazing home on Necker Island.
And to underline the point, she has approved a saucy portrait of herself to adorn the side of the Virgin Galactic craft when it propels the first tourists into space later this year.
'My grandson Jack has designed a voluptuous image of me based on a photograph from my youth,' says Eve. 'It's a good likeness. I'm bending backwards in a provocative pose and flashing a scarf behind my head.'

D'Iberville officials expected Ocean Expo Aquarium to be built and open by now and ticket prices to cover the cost of repaying the bond to purchase the land.
Instead the city may have to make the initial $318,668 payment -- due in September -- out of the general fund. Unless the payments can be deferred or otherwise satisfied, D'Iberville taxpayers also will have to cover the second payment in 2014 if the aquarium isn't built by then.
Ground was broken for the estimated $75 million attraction in December 2011.
Moby Solangi, executive director of the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, tells The Sun Herald the site still sits vacant and the project has hit one snag after another.
