Book: Cities into Battlefields (ed. Stefan Goebel and Derek Keene)
Arising from the Centre's 2004 'Metropolitan catastrophes' conference on cities' role in warfare, Ashgate have just published Cities into Battlefields: Metropolitan Scenarios, Experiences and Commemorations of Total War. The volume explores the cultural imprint of military conflict on metropolises world wide in the era of the First and Second World Wars and examines how the emergence of 'total' warfare blurred the boundaries between home and front. With contributions from Susan Grayzel, Peter Stansky, Patrice Higonnet, Eyal Ginio, Maureen Healey, Tim Cole, Antony Beevor, Lisa Yoneyama, Julie Higashi and Jay Winter, it is currently available at the reduced price of £58.50 (normally £65) from the Ashgate website.
Online mapping resource: Locating London's Past
The Locating London's Past website is now available at: www.locatinglondon.org. The website enables users to map information from a vast array of sources, including trial accounts from the Old Bailey, hearth tax, plague deaths and population data and even archaeological records, on to John Rocque's 1746 map of London, now fully referenced to modern geographical coordinates. This new resource is the result of a collaborative project, funded by JISC, involving the CMH, the Universities of Sheffield and Hertfordshire, and Museum of London Archaeology (see CMH project page for details).
'The Last of the Jobbers'
'Big Bang' in 1986 signalled the end of the historic jobbing system of the London Stock Exchange. Jobbers were market-makers who acted as intermediaries between stockbrokers on the floor of the exchange. Few written records are left of their activities. In 1990 the CMH undertook a series of interviews - predominantly with former jobbers but augmented by those from the point of view of brokers and financial journalists - which now form a rare resource for the history of this distinctive part of the financial life of the City.
The tapes and transcripts of the 42 interviews were originally deposited at the British Library Sound Archive (ref no. C463) for permanent archiving but they are now also available online via the University of London School of Advanced Study's e-repository, SAS-Space. To access the collection visit http://www.history.ac.uk/projects/jobbing.
CMH working papers volume: Tides and Floods
The five papers in Tides and floods: new research on London and the tidal Thames from the middle ages to the twentieth century (ed. James A. Galloway; CMH Working papers series no. 4) arise from a conference held in October 2009, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council as part of the London and the tidal Thames 1250-1550 research project. Written by archaeologists, historians and historical geographers, they present up-to-date work on the flood threat from the later middle ages to the 20th century, focusing upon the changing political, institutional and economic response to this environmental challenge. Also included is a preliminary report on the medieval tidal mills recently uncovered at Greenwich and Northfleet and an overview of the multi-faceted work of the Thames Discovery Programme. 80pp (illus); price £5 + £2 postage. Order a copy from the IHR Bookshop.

Alex Boye' "Let it Go" Inspired Winter White Sunday Dress
Several weeks ago we found a a music video online with the song "Let it Go" from Frozen, with the voices of Alex Boye' and Lexi Walker. My daughter became obsessed with the video and song. I think every girl is! I was more obsessed with the dresses the little Power house singer was wearing. I literally stayed up looking online for the two dresses. My husband just sat and laughed at me. He finds my crazy funny. But he knows once my brain starts looking it can't stop until I find what I am looking for. I found the black and gray dress in the price range of $150. The cream one I couldn't find. So I decided to make it myself. So here is my take on the beautiful winter white dress Lexi was wearing in the music video. A simple and Elegant winter white dress.

Halloween Costume -Little Bo Peep
Here is my Little Bo Peep. I dreamed of this costume from the time I knew was having a daughter. I come from a family of Boys. Lots and lots of them. So having a little girl is kind of the bees knees around here. You know the stars,moons and planets aligned kind of thing. She is my Joy and my Muse...
|Little Bo Peep Costume
I wanted so badly to make her a Little Bo Peep. Last year was the year to do it. Her little costume was a labor of love. I looked at a lot of pictures of Bo peep costumes. I came up with this.
I started with a basic peasant top. I used my Simply Jane pattern. I just made the shirt white.
For the skirt I made a basic skirt but doubled the fabric to make it more full. I added a little lace to fancy it up.
For the bloomers I used a basic capri of pajama pattern. I added 3 rows of lace to the bottoms for ruffles. (Lace and fabric from Joanns)
Her crook was an after Christmas sale candy cane I got for .25 cents. I wrapped it with white ribbon and added a large Pink bow.
Her little lamb was an after Easter sale at Target we picked up for $2.00
For her vest I used an old t shirt and cut off the arms and cut down the neck line as my pattern. Then I used black velvet and lined it with some scrap fabric.I used some turquoise fabric and cut 2 half circles. I gathered the half circles and pinned them to the vest. Sew vest with right sides together, leave a small opening and turn. Top stitch the vest. I then added small grommets for lacing.

Please Welcome {Grits & Giggles}
I'm Jenilyn, author of Grits & Giggles. I love to share my adventures in sewing, crafting, and being a mommy! I'm so excited to be at FreeTime Frolics today to share with you how to put together a TuTu Dress fit for a princess!
My daughter's favorite song is "You Are My Sunshine". She sings it all day and it never gets old to hear! She loves to dress up and twirl, so I knew for Halloween she needed a sparkly tulle dress. I wanted it to be golden and beautiful, just like the sunshine in her favorite song.
Let's get started!
1" Elastic
Tulle- 100 yards for a 2T size
Flower Clip
Coordinating Ribbon
Measure around your little girl's chest. This is your elastic length. Overlap by 1" and sew the ends together. You want it fitted, but not too tight.
Measure her height from her chest to where you want the tutu to fall. Multiply this by 2 and add 3". This will be your tulle length.
ex: my measurement was 20"....so my tulle length was 20x2+3= 43"
Cut strips of tulle this length and the width of your spool. You will need a LOT, especially if you use a light color.
I place the elastic band around my leg for support. Place 2-3 strips of your tulle, in different colors, together and fold in the middle. Slip this under your elastic band.
Then pull the ends of the tulle through, creating a knot. Don't pull it too tight yet, as the elastic will stretch when you do. Wait until you're finished to tighten.
Continue tying these knots all the way around the elastic, alternating colors and combinations. Gently tighten your knots when you're done.
To add a halter strap, cut a long length of your ribbon, and tie a similar knot, between two knots of tulle.
Clip on your flower clip and you're done! Your tutu dress is ready to be worn and twirled in!
It flows beautifully, and sparkles in the October sun.
Thanks again for having me from Grits & Giggles!
Check out some of my other Halloween and Fall Tutorials!
Thanks Jenilyn. I love these tutu dresses. They really pack a punch. If you haven't been over to Grits and Giggles. She has lots of great tutorials. Head on over and take a look!

Wasp Nest Lyrics - The National
You're cussing a storm in a cocktail dress your mother wore when she was young
Red sun saint around your neck
A wet martini in a paper cup
You're a wasp nest, you're a wasp nest.
Your eyes are broken bottles
And I'm afraid to ask
And all your wrath and cutting beauty
You're poison in the pretty glass
You're a wasp nest, you're a wasp nest
You're all humming live wires under your killing clothes.
Get over here, I wanna kiss your skinny throat
You're a wasp nest, you're a wasp nest

Pakistan is a country which shouldn't have been there at all. But now that it is there, it should not be 'merged back and make an Akhand Bharat as is said by certain people. It is best that it remains separate from us and as a country away from us (though unforunately it is in the immediate neighbourhood).Answered by QueSera Sera, 24 Dec '12 06:27 pm

Demolition day is coming to Port Everglades.
Florida Power & Light (FPL) announced that it is demolishing the four landmark red-and-white-striped, 350-foot-tall stacks at its Port Everglades power plant.
The stack have been a part of South Florida's skyline since the 1960's, but will come down on July 16.
FPL said they will make way for a new, high-efficiency, clean power plant.
FPL bragged that the new energy center will be 35 percent more fuel-efficient than its predecessor and reduce air emissions by more than 90 percent.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 373 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Oldschool Very rude The staff checking me in was very rude and not helpfull at all. I will never stay here again unless I can't find another hotel. June 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by raegan poor cleaning and maintenance service I hung a "green" tag on my door for the week, but it was as if it was a do not disturb sign- my room only got cleaned once. I had trouble getting into my door every single time. I changed keys out twice. Despite turning green, the lock would not disengage enough to open the door most times. Of course when I called and maintenance came up I was able to open it the first time so they said I just wasn't opening it right. REALLY? I've opened more than one hotel door in my life. It was really frustrating, especially when I was in a rush. Everything else was nice. October 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Perfect Wedding Night hotel My Husband and I recently got married and stayed at the Sheraton in Salt Lake City for the night. The room numbers were labeled incorrectly on the wall, so it was kind of tricky to find our room, but it was well worth the search! The hotel upgraded us to their Presidential Suite because it was our wedding night! So worth it! I would DEFINITELY recommend this hotel. We paid $133/per night. Staff was nice and helpful and there is a free shuttle to the SLC Airport that leaves every 30 minutes. The hotel is 10-12 minutes from the Airport, which is always a plus. August 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnnyFive Best Staff In My Travel Experience This has to be the best hotel I've ever stayed on business travel. I'd like to express my appreciation for the wonderful staffs: Veronica, Brooke, and especially the Manager "Aaron Magee", who would go the extra mile to ensure that all of my requests are fulfilled no matter how troublesome they are!! This is the only place that makes me feel like home away from home! August 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jim878 Overbooking When I arrived at the hotel at 9:50PM, there was no line at check in. However, I then waited nearly 30 minutes while the desk clerk struggled to find me a room and a long line of other travelers grew at the counter. Finally, after a series of instructions over the phone from a mysterious supervisor, the clerk found me a room. Why they were so unprepared for an obvious problem is beyond me. July 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by WF789 Noisy Room This hotel was renovated and it turned out well. The rooms are contemporary with flat screens and all seems well until I went to sleep. Apparently the furnace was probably still the original furnace and every time it turned on and off, it made a loud noise that woke me up. This was not noticeable during the day when it was noisier, but at night when everything was quiet, it was very obvious. The restaurant & bar are both so so, there are much nicer restaurants within walking distance. The courtesy shuttle around downtown and to the airport was a plus. May 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by ccasey The new side is nice, old side not It is so frustrating that I cannot pull receipts off my SPG account. Your competition has been doing this for years. It is my one reason not to choose your hotels first for business trips August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lax14 The hotel was nice, but lacking some things. Really enjoyed the hotel, but some staff were not very friendly. The front desk person acted like we were imposing when we asked him things. There was never a valet when we would return so we parked ourselves a distance from the door. Which normally wouldn't be a problem except I have a bad knee. The maid woke my children by knocking on the door every half hour starting at 8:30 until we put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door the day we were checking out. On the other hand the Guest Service people were very nice and attentive. May 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KCK51 Checkout issues I was disappointed with the progression of my checking out. My bill did not include the birthdate second day discount, instead I was billed two full rate days. It took way too long to correct this error and required a manager. Your hotel (via phone call) booked me a week earlier with the special, I showed proof of birth during check in. Don't offer discounts if you plan to honor them. Otherwise the hotel itself was very good. July 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lacemaker Don't use their restaurant The general staff and room were good,but don't use the hotel restaurant the waitress was slow, rude, disrespectful, and getting a check paid took over 30 minutes. Other than the waiter on Sunday Aug.4 morning shift the other waitstaff should at least get lessons in customer service, positive attitude, efficient ways to do their job properly. Or hire new staff for the restaurant. I was there with a group and many of us had the same problem with the same waitstaff. Your main hotel staff did a nice friendly job with smiles on their faces always. August 17, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by kjwcpm Facility and Service both need attention Overall this stay was an average bed for two average nights for a business trip. The room was clean and the bed generally comfortable. Amenities met my basic needs. Where things fell short were in check in service and in general facilities. At check in, there was a long queue (I was roughly 6th in line) with only one desk attendant available to check people in. The wait time was rather extensive, and after a long day of travel it was not the greeting I hoped for. As for the facilities, in general the hotel needs updating, but the flooring in particular is a concern. There is an overall odor of overperfumed treatment combined with a musty smell that give a hint of age to the property. If this can be upted the property can take on a much better status overall. April 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BusinessTravel5 Traveling for Business Quiet room, clean facilities, bed a little too firm for me and pillows a little too soft. Good water pressure in the shower. Bird nest outside balcony window annoying but ok with earplugs to sleep. Conference room good, catered dinner better than most. Conference area ladies room toilets not effective flushers. August 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LFVN4EVER Comfortable & Clean I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I opened the door. The beds/bedding exceeded other hotels. Our family was very comfortable and we were actually able to sleep all three nights we stayed. Starbucks coffee in the room! And downstairs! It was wonderful. The lobby, courtyards and parking were wonderful. The only downfall was the restaurant downstairs, it took over 1/2 hr to order and get one bowl of oatmeal and a waffle for the kids... and those two items were over $20. I will stay here again; however the restaurant I do not recommend. April 15, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Snoopy25000 Perfectly ok The location of the hotel is optimal. The room was spotless and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was huge and immaculate. My only criticism: when I was waiting for the advertised airport shuttle on the curb of the airport, I waved at the driver and even made eye contact. He was literally 5 feet away from me, looking me in the eye as I waved and he just drove off. He could have stopped and said something but he just drove off. When I called the hotel, the woman said it would be another 30 minutes before he would return. I got a $29 cab. May 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by havebusinesswilltravel This is a mixed review So... After much consideration I am writing this review. First I have to say that I stay here all the time. Several times a month. I am generally satisfied, the property is nice, the bar is good, bartenders are nice. The one quality that makes this hotel second to none is T.C. in the club lounge. one year I was about 11 months between stays and she remembered me, my wife, our children, catered to our every whim. Get the club floor, she alone makes it worth it. That being said, I am only stays away from Platnum status at this point but I am currently gold. I was not offered an upgrade at check in. When I then asked for an upgrade to the club floor I was told and I quote "we dont have any club floor availability left tonight" Okay, so what do you have. I was upgraded to a loft room, with no club access. I checked on my computer and there were still club rooms left, I called down to question this and was told "Well, our general manager is trying to reel back on what we allow for upgrades based on corporate standards, because we are a franchise." I said, well I have been upgraded to club floor before with gold. I was told "yes, but we are not doing that anymore" Well, I feel pretty upset at this point, I was lied to at the front desk, and then told that the level of service I had expected was no longer being extended. Its only $30 to upgrade to club floor level but its the principal of the thing. I guess I will wait to hit platnum status for my beloved club floor. If it were not for the balance of good stays, and T.C. on the club floor this would have been a 1 star review... I hope T.C. is paid well. February 20, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by TonyW The resturant needs a lot of improvement Due to the cold weather and icy road condition, I decided not to venture out for food and instead ate at the hotel restaurant. Both nights I stood at the entrance waiting to be seated for over 5 minutes and there were not more than 5 tables of guests inside. The choice of food is poor, mostly sandwiches, hamburgers and salads. Only one type of steak was offered which to me is a big surprise for a Sheraton in the downtown area of a major US city. If it is not the weather, I would definitely not have any food in this hotel anymore. January 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KaiOrlando Hidden GEM in heart of "The Crossroads of the West" ! ! This hotel has so many strong points going for it>>Terrific LOCATION; FREE airport shuttle [also to key points downtown]; wonderful restaurant; free parking; EZ walk to NEW City Creek Mega MALL & Temple Square. What tops all that>> the STAFF. Someone forgot to tell the staff they are a Category 2 hotel. The professional, accomodating, welcoming and super helpful staff here makes us feel like we're at a Cat 6+. Was here first weekend of June. Heard similar comments of praise from other guests I encountered throughout my stay. June 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MeierFamily Great Hotel and Convention Center Good location in downtown Salt Lake City. Hotel bar and restaurant were well maintained and food was good. Convention facilities and catering were very good. Club room was hosted by terrific gal and is a must for those staying one night or for an extended stay. July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by cody1b Justin made it the best! We love the Sheraton in Salt Lake City. My advice to anybody staying there, seek out Justin. The guy bends over backwards to make everyone feel welcome. At first, me and my wife thought he just liked us, but this last stay, we were in line and overheard him treating the people in front of us the same way he treats us. After I overcame my jealousy, I accepted it and realized that everyone is special. In all seriousness, the staff at this hotel is excellent and the stay is always the best! OH! And the breakfast is worth it. March 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robinbella1 Fabulous Food - Wonderful hotel The hotel is wonderful. Starbucks inside, hotel restaurants & room service was amazing - really really good food! Rooms were very nice - wonderful bedding. Would love to have seen different soaps, shampoos etc. The "no name" brand did not match the upscale style to the hotel. July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Expilot Great Hotel This is a great hotel in a nice location. The staff is friendly and efficient. The food in the Bar / Restaurant was surprisingly good. Meets the high standars set by the Starwood Group in every way. August 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by callalind No-frills but great service, convenient and well kept This is a no-frills type Sheraton, but in a town of low rise motels that don't seem so appealing, the Sheraton is great. Rooms are what you'd expect - comfy bed, minimalist, but very clean and quiet. We had a Loft suite one night which worked great for four adults. The staff here is great - super friendly and super accommodating. Aaron at the from desk helped me choose the right room and made sure everything was ready as we had discussed for my last minute booking. Will definitely stay here again when we're in SLC! March 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by floatgal Convention Stay I was here for 3 days and the hotel had its ups and downs. UPS - the lobby area is very clean & comfortable, the staff in the Club Level lounge were the best I have ever encountered, most of the other staff were very friendly, the room was very clean & the hotel provided free water bottles in your room. DOWNS - the front desk was not staffed well for check-in & checkout, my room was continuously hot (regardless of the thermostat), the fish & chicken served for our banquet was cold (& I was 5th in line) of 400+ people. July 1, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Joanofarc Nothing outstanding We took the "best" room offered, being a loft suite....the bedroom in this suite is upstairs, with the washroom, which basically made for a cramped sleeping quarters. The hotel itself was nice enough, but I wasn't expecting to have a peeling bathtub (they had refinished it rather than replace it, and whoever did the refinishing did a shoddy job...there was actually large hunks of the coating peeling off in several areas of the tub) in the most expensive room they had...for $350/night, I would have thought it would be nicer in some respect, but it was certainly not worth the "upgrade" and I wished we had saved our money and gone with a standard room. The loft room is a waste unless you plan to entertain and need the living area totally separate from the sleeping area. February 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by efspetaluma Nice place to stay but not as convenient as some. This Sheraton is farther from Temple Square than I would have liked, but they do have a shuttle and a nice pool. The reception staff was friendlier than most. The shuttle was very uncharacteristic of a Sheraton. We found after the fact that it does airport and train station pickups until midnight. Typical Sheraton rooms: clean, quite and comfortable. The Club Lounge was only available for brief periods in the morning and evening. The breakfast selection was good. We did not get a chance to sample the evening fare. August 27, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by JstJo Salt Lake City Stay The hotel was acceptable. Nice, but nothing over the top. Unfortunately there were some attention to detail issues with our room. There was a broken toilet paper holder, a big nasty wad of hair came out of one of the "clean" towels, and worst of all... once we woke up in the morning and the clean sheet cover fell off the comforter we discovered multiple fairly large blood stains. Incredibly disappointing and disgusting. July 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by CoconutMaiTaiDenise Terrible layout There are 2 sections of rooms at this hotel - the highrise/main lobby and then the back 40 - the older, rundown 2 story building attached by a long, ramp up, ramp down walkway. I'm talking a long, long walk to get to the old building and no elevator to get you from the main lobby check- in to my 2nd floor room and no help with my luggage as I trekked about a mile to my room. If they didn't want me to stay, they should have just said so instead of sending me off to the back 40. And the room left a lot to be desired. November 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by SeattleErin Almost perfect We really enjoyed our stay at the Salt Lake Sheraton over Christmas. The room was spacious and comfortable and the staff very accommodating. My only complaint was the unprofessional lounge attendant. As the lounge is reserved for status-level guests, I would expect more professional service. The breakfast dishes were not always supplied, she berated guests for failing to close the lid of the hot food, called everyone honey, and took food for herself while mentioning that it was not allowed. Otherwise, a great stay. December 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by JMericka Air Conditioning The staff was great! The only complaint I have is the air conditioning in my room was not working properly and I told guest services. They sent someone to my room and they said it was fixed but it would not go below 75 degrees. I didnt sleep very well the four nights I was there due to it being warm in my room. A co-worker had the same problem and was told to stay on a lower floor next time as it was cooler on the lower floors. Really? June 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ShirleyH GREAT HOTEL This hotel gets five stars. I wouldn't dream of staying any place else when I'm in Salt Lake. The staff is helpful, friendly, and always courteous. The room was everything I could ask for, room service was prompt and my food arrived hot and delicious, the resturant food was excellent. as well. Thanks for making my stay just a great experience, I can't wait until my next ski trip to stay in your hotel. The hot tub was exactly what I needed after a day on the slopes. My rating is definitely 5 stars for this hotel. January 14, 2013

text: Parsing the CIA's Detention Denial Print article Send a Tip by John Sexton 13 Nov 2012 post a comment The Executive Order cited by the CIA to deny the agency had detained militia members at the Benghazi annex has a caveat, one which explicitly allows short term detentions. The interpretation of Executive Order 13491 is at the heart of an ongoing disagreement between a CIA spokesmen and unnamed sources who have leaked information to Fox News and, possibly, to Paula Broadwell. The Executive Order in question was issued a couple days after President Obama took office. It eliminates CIA detention sites, aka secret prisons, and puts an end to interrogation methods which critics dubbed torture. However, the language of the Order does allow for some wiggle room on what constitutes "detention." Under Section 2, titled "Definitions" subhead (g) states "The terms 'detention facilities' and 'detention facility' in section 4(a) of this order do not refer to facilities used only to hold people on a short-term, transitory basis." In order to understand why this matters it's necessary to get a picture of the charges and counter-charges now flying back in forth. Sunday afternoon, word spread that Paula Broadwell, Gen. Petraeus' biographer and paramour, may have leaked classified information during a public speech at the University of Denver last month. Broadwell claimed the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi may have been motivated by the detention of militia members by the CIA. The CIA was quick to deny this. In a piece published Sunday evening, an unnamed CIA spokesperson told Eli Lake "The CIA has not had detention authority since January 2009, when Executive Order 13491 was issued. Any suggestion that the Agency is still in the detention business is uninformed and baseless." But hours after it was made the CIA denial was called into question by Fox's Jennifer Griffin who reported Monday that highly placed sources had confirmed three militia members were being held at the CIA annex in Benghazi for "a few days" prior to the 9/11 attack. Furthermore her source claimed that freeing these detainees may have been a motive for the attack. The claims being made by Griffin's sources--short term detention--do not seem to be ruled out by Executive Order 13491. Just because the CIA is no longer in the "detention business" doesn't necessarily mean they don't dabble in it occasionally.

Bill would allow private schools to set gun rules
Del. Mark Cole is proposing to let private or religious schools decide whether guns can be carried on their property.
Cole, R–Spotsylvania, has filed a bill for the upcoming 2014 General Assembly session that would make it no longer a crime to possess a knife or other weapon or a firearm on private or religious school property, or on school buses owned by those private schools.
Currently state law makes it illegal for anyone except a law enforcement officer to have a weapon or firearm on any school property, public or private, with some exceptions for people with concealed handgun permits who are in vehicles, or firearms that are locked in vehicles.
Cole said he doesn't think the state should regulate weapons policies for private schools.
"I just think on private property, it should be up to the property owners or the people who run the school to make a decision whether they want to let guns on their property or not," Cole said. "The state should not really dictate that for private property."
It's unclear whether Cole's bill, if passed, would change things at some local private schools.
Officials at both Fredericksburg Christian Schools and Fredericksburg Academy said the issue wasn't one that had come up at their schools.
"We are working very closely with the Spotsylvania County's emergency response team, to ensure that we're best prepared in the event of any crisis on campus," said Karen Moschetto, Fredericksburg Academy's head of school. "Even if a bill like that were passed, I would continue to work with them because they would be the ones who would be on our campus."
She said that if the bill passed, the school's board would have to decide about any policy changes it wanted to make.
In the 2013 session, Cole had a bill that allowed private schools to hire armed security guards. Many public schools have sheriff's deputies or police officers as school resource officers, but that wasn't available to private schools, Cole said, and the laws about weapons on school property barred private schools from hiring their own armed guards until his bill passed.
School security was a big issue in the 2013 session, coming as it did after the school shooting in Newtown, Conn. State lawmakers put more money into a grant program for school resource officers for public schools.
Cole said his bill isn't prompted by any particular incidents at private schools. He has, however, had the issue brought to him by some private schools, and put in this bill at the request of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, a group that regularly lobbies against firearm restrictions.
VCDL president Philip Van Cleave said Cole's bill keeps intact penalties for anyone who brings a weapon or firearm onto school grounds with intent to harm.
"If you think about it, why is the state telling a private school what they should do for security? What business does the state have doing that?" Van Cleave said.
The 2014 General Assembly session starts Jan. 8.

There was a "blind date" I was set to meet....a little over a year ago. When I called her...I said...."Why dont we meet at such and such place?" She said, "Oh yeah....okay...cool" (this was a few days before...plus she KNEW I would be calling) so I indicated I would call her again...on the Saturday (of) to meet there. When I did....she was in a totally different mood! She said, "Wait....where is that place?" I said, well it's closer to me...than it is to you...but the hwy is a straight shot" She said, "Oooh no....that's too far...let's pick something around the corner from my house."
I said, "Okay" When I met her she was full of questions....which of itself was not bad..but one finally got me! (and this is very early in our conversation) She said, "Has anyone ever said anything about your living with your roomate? I mean..two guys late 50's early 60's living together?" I said, "You mean the same guy I share a two-story home with... who's girlfriend set you up with me? The one who I went to high school with...played football with...lifted weights with.....played tennis/golf with?" "And most of all....my best friend?" She nodded! I said, "No no one has ever said anything about Jim and I. And frankly I wouldn't care if they did." She then said well....it does look a little weird." So the whole thing kind of went south from there! lol! And my above words were not as harsh as they sounded....I WAS polite. In fact, I politely paid the bill....and when asked if we would meet again...I politely said, "I don't think so" (later when I told Jim later he was dying laughing...because he knew full well "J" his girlfriend had set us up) I later teased "J" sarcastically for being so kind in "screening potential dates" for me!!

Make no mistake: The media has had a huge impact on how we view the sports industry. Long ago, when radio commentators and journalists began telling suspenseful tales of what they saw on the field, it became clear that sports was rife with stories. Nowadays, coverage of major sporting events is loaded with spectacle, including constant graphics, flashing stats, camera angles that give fans an athlete's view of the game, and panels offering gossipy speculation on behind-the-scenes tensions. The media not only reports on and captures games, sometimes it even help create celebrities, elevating charismatic talents like Joe DiMaggio, Muhammad Ali, Mary Lou Retton, and Michael Jordan to iconic status. "The Sports Show" examines the impact that the media and its technologies have had on the billion-dollar sports industry. The exhibit will include photography, video, installations, and newspaper clippings from journalists, photographers, and artists. The show opens on Thursday, along with "The Sports Show: Minnesota," with a museum-wide Third Thursday party from 6 to 9 p.m. The event will feature live music from indietronic group Pretty Good Dance Moves, appearances from the Minnesota Rollergirls, and refreshments. On Sunday, there will also be a celebration featuring team mascots, a photo booth, and sports-friendly activities from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Image © The Gordon Parks Foundation)

If you're having trouble finding that special person to love or even just have some fun with, you may need to examine how you act on a first date. A first date is generally the deciding factor of whether a person is disgusted or intrigued by you. Here are some things that you may be doing wrong:
1. Talking about your ex. No one wants to hear about your horrible breakup or lingering communication with the guy or girl you dated for the past five years. Opening up about your ex is fine down the road – during the obligatory "tell me about your past loves" talk that boyfriends and girlfriends have – but blurting it all out on the first date just signals emotional baggage. If you're not over your ex, don't attempt dating until you've seen a therapist. Keep reading »

Gregg Steinhafel, Target Corp. CEO
NEW YORK — The CEO of discount retailer Target Corp. received a pay package in 2010 worth $23.9 million, 83 percent more than he made in 2009, because he became eligible for enhanced pension benefits and his stock awards rose as the company's performance improved, according to documents Target filed Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Gregg Steinhafel, 56, received a base salary of $1.5 million and a bonus of $1.2 million, according to Associated Press calculations.
He received stock options worth $3.2 million and stock awards worth $8 million when they were granted. That includes a stock award of $3.25 million he got in March 2010 that includes both a $1.1 million bonus for 2009 and part of his performance-based bonus for 2009.
Steinhafel also received a performance-based bonus of $4.1 million and above-market returns of $376,229 from the nation's second-largest discounter.
His perks were worth $5.5 million, including an extra pension plan payment related to the fact that he turned 55 during calendar 2010 plus nearly $2.6 million from a supplemental pension plan that has been frozen to new participants since 1989. Steinhafel joined the company more than 30 years ago.
Steinhafel has been CEO since 2008. During his tenure, Target, which has carved out a niche as a cheap chic discounter, has expanded its food selection and planned for new stores outside the U.S., in Canada. During the year, Target's net income rose 17 percent while its revenue rose 3.1 percent to $67.39 billion. Minneapolis-based Target's share price rose 24 percent during the year.
Steinhafel began with the company in 1979 as a merchandising trainee. He is a graduate of Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.

Monument police have issued an arrest warrant for Beth Chapman, the wife of reality star Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Arrest papers say Chapman verbally assaulted a 16-year-old girl earlier this month near Monument Lake.
Witnesses say she was screaming expletives at the girl and calling her names.
The whole incident was sparked when Dog was at the lake boating and reportedly began yelling at the victim's boyfriend, saying it was a felony to carry a firearm.
Witnesses also say Chapman was yelling at the girl's boyfriend for speeding too fast in his boat.
Police tell us they were only going to give Chapman a ticket for harassment, but when she didn't respond to their phone calls, they issued an arrest warrant.
We're told Chapman's attorney is now in touch with police and that she's going to cooperate.

The man accused of a murder spree that claimed four lives over 10 days this summer says he wants to plead guilty to the crimes.
Twenty-seven-year-old Nikko Jenkins is charged with the killings of Juan Uribe-Pena and Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz on August 11th, Curtis Bradford on August 19th and Andrea Kruger on August 21st.
Jenkins has already entered a formal plea of not guilty to each of the murders but he turned the tables this week, admitting to all of the killings while saying mental illness was to blame.
As he was making that public, he called WOWT 6 News from the Douglas County Jail. You can listen to our phone interview with him in the video player above.

text: 'The Wolf of Wall Street' Review: Scorsese Skewers Greed Sans Speeches Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 24 Dec 2013 post a comment Martin Scorsese never stops his new, three-hour film The Wolf of Wall Street to sermonize against the evils of capitalism. The Oscar-winning director is too good a storyteller to stumble into that ideological bear trap. Instead, he lets the life of stockbroker extraordinaire Jordan Belfort speak on the theme's behalf. Leonardo DiCaprio is at his charismatic apex as Jordan, a raging id with the salesmanship to satisfy his earthly desires. Big houses. Beautiful women. Drugs. More drugs. More women. Jordan games Wall Street, smashing laws along the way, until he's so rich he could buy and sell Gordon Gekko himself. It's an '80s tale of greed that just so happened to occur during the '90s even if President Bill Clinton is never name checked. Wolf, based on Belfort's memoir chronicling his rise and fall, remains sly concerning the messages it wishes to impart. Audiences can simply enjoy the dizzying ride, the layered comic performances (Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey) and DiCaprio's most theater-rattling turn to date. Jordan's career begins with a pep talk from a Wall Street maestro (McConaughey) but spikes when he applies his knack for convincing strangers to ignore their economic interests. Soon he's a major player in the stock game, assembling a team of talented swindlers who know how to bilk innocents out of their fortunes. Scorsese doesn't show us the victims of Jordan's sales pitches. He's too busy capturing the spoils of his hard work, most noticeably his stunning bride (Margot Robbie). Our anti-hero's ascent catches the attention of a blue-collar FBI agent (Kyle Chandler), a soul whose dedication to decency contrasts with the stockbroker's profile. Scorsese's Goodfellas made the life of crime seem downright desirable, but the fall from grace felt by the main characters scared everyone straight. Wolf lacks that cautionary tale comeuppance--an echo of the maddening source material. It's here where Scorsese the polemicist peeks his head into the frame. Consider the visual of Chandler sitting on a subway train on the way to work compared to Jordan at the helm of his massive yacht. It's worth far more than any op-ed Paul Krugman could pound out. And yet audiences may be too blissfully entertained to make such mental notes. Wolf is so mesmerizing, so unbridled in its comic mojo, that the notion of greed gone wild barely registers at times. DiCaprio cajoles sad sacks into following his schemes with such alacrity you'll fork over whatever cash remains after buying a soda and popcorn just to see what his plan might offer. The actor's tutelage under Scorsese--this is their fifth collaboration--is one many won't want to see end. Not every trick trotted out by the wily director delivers. A subplot involving a shady French financier (The Artist's Jean Dujardin) smacks of a slick plot device, and an extended Quaaludes sequence isn't as funny as Scorsese likely thought. The legendary director could be using The Wolf of Wall Street not to hector capitalism but call for stricter controls on those who shatter its good name. Or, he figured a movie calling out greed would serve him well in earning any awards not occupying his mantle. Either way, The Wolf of Wall Street is a mesmerizing experience that transcends easy labels.

Spotify is now taking requests for invites from Canadians.

My favourite independent music retailer has announced that they will be closing their doors permanently next spring after 25 years of operation.
CD Warehouse had at one time been a major source for compact discs and DVDs in Ottawa with three stores in the Ottawa area and another in Kingston, Ontario. But sales of compact discs have of course dropped significantly since the commercialization of music downloads on the internet and although the retailer has started selling vinyl and renting DVDs/Blurays, the reduction in stores and the closing of the chain was an eventuality.
The chain's online counterpart, MyMusic.ca, also faltered and failed to gain traction against the major music retailers online. And unfortunately the industry has not provided enough new releases or re-releases to keep customers like me going to the store.
This closure will unfortunately result in the loss of yet another source for vinyl in my city. And now residents of the city will need to either go downtown for their used and new LPs or order these albums online.
I have just received word that the "Tour Tax", a prohibitive fee that international artists were subjected to when performing in Canada, has been scrapped.
This counterproductive fee kept newer artists out of Canada, especially independent and unsigned artists, and has caused many clubs to stop featuring live acts altogether.
Over 143,000 signatures had been registered on a change.org petition promoted on this blog in 2013, which was presented to Jason Kenney, Canada's Minister for Multiculturalism.
Google Play Music is now available to Canadians.
Canadians can now purchase music from this service and store their music library online in a cloud that can be accessed from computers and Android devices. But users of this service will of course be required to confirm their eligibility by using a credit card or debit card and will be required to install software on their computers and Android devices to access their library, Google Play music purchases and Google Play music subscription.
The price of individual track downloads range from $1.29 to $1.50 on this service whilst their music subscription service costs $9.99 per month ($7.99 prior to June 30th, 2014).
The initial set-up is relatively pain free though I suspect some individuals with low upload speeds will find it a bit time consuming.
Basically the Google Play music software scans your library for items Google doesn't already have in their catalogue to download from your computer for your cloud and if you happen to have a significant number of these recordings the setup process may take some time.
Of the 2700 or so mp3 and iTunes recordings I have in my player ready directory, the directory where I store my very favourite music for easy transfer to my mp3 player, it recognised about 700. And the program didn't accept a hundred or so DRM protected recordings so the process took about less than an hour using the highest bandwidth setting.
This means that people with a low upload rate will need to give the program time to download their recordings. But they shouldn't have a problem doing something else while this happens in the background on a four core computer. And I listen to obscure French recordings so this can account for a large portion of the recordings that were not recognised.
I should also note that most of my recordings have a bit rate of 320 and the average mp3 has a considerably lower rate of 192 or 256. Google Play will likely recognise more of those 192 or 256 bit rate recordings and take less time to download the remaining lower rate recordings.
Errors in cataloguing were rare in my case. I had issues with a David Foster recording and a duplicate entry for Bjork's catalogue, both of which included characters that were replaced with Asian fonts. But the rest of my library appears fine. And like on iTunes purchases are automatically added to the cloud when purchased on Google Play.
I will of course be testing the Android software on my tablet over the next few days and posting an entry if I encounter any issues.

In any event, I have been to enough shows in the past year to know that a big part of that experience is some good, ole', American fried food. Enjoy this piece, and get ready for some good eatin'
Fried Beauty
Glory be to God for breaded things--
Catfish, steak finger, pork chop, chicken thigh,
Sliced green tomatoes, pots full to the brim
With french fries, fritters, life-float onion rings,
Hushpuppies, okra golden to the eye,
That in all oils, corn or canola, swim
Toward mastication's maw (O molared mouth!);
Whatever browns, is dumped to drain and dry
On paper towels' sleek translucent scrim,
These greasy, battered bounties of the South:
Eat them.
Here are the credits:
American Life in Poetry: Column 166
Texas poet R. S. Gwynn is a master of the light touch. Here he picks up on Gerard Manley Hopkins' sonnet "Pied Beauty," which many of you will remember from school, and offers us a picnic instead of a sermon. I hope you enjoy the feast!
