A wartime photo of Union Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside shows him with the presentation sword now on loan to Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.
The inscribed sword, believed to be Maj. Gen. Ambrose
An irreplaceable piece of history has returned to Fredericksburg after a long absence.
The prize sword of Union Maj. Gen. Ambrose Everett Burnside, who commanded the Union Army of the Potomac, is back in town.
People are invited to view the relic at the Fredericksburg Battlefield Visitor Center until late January, a period matching the 77 days that the ill-fated Burnside held his command.
The general's sword came to the most-visited facility of Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park on Friday--the 150th anniversary of Burnside's appointment to command the army--and was carefully installed in a special case in the building's exhibit area.
"Isn't that wonderful?" visitor Susan Marston of Wayland, Mass., exclaimed as park curator Amy Muraca and museum technician Luisa Dispenzirie put the sword in its new home.
It is likely the sword that Burnside carried at the Battle of Fredericksburg, fought in mid-December 1862.
Collector Alan Genetti of central Pennsylvania is loaning the artifact to the park for the battle's sesquicentennial. The sword's display--along with a special walking tour Saturday that traced a Union cavalry raid of Fredericksburg--launched weeks of public programs for the 150th anniversary that will conclude Dec. 15.
The handsome sword was presented to Burnside, then a colonel, by members and friends of Company F, 1st Rhode Island Infantry, in recognition of his coolness under fire during the Battle of First Manassas, the war's first major land battle, in July 1861.
It was inscribed to him by the regiment, and appears in several wartime photographs and a later portrait of the general. A newspaper correspondent's sketch made on Dec. 14, 1862, also appears to portray the sword, strongly suggesting it was his accouterment of choice at Fredericksburg, the National Park Service said.
The sword still includes the hilt's original metallic-threaded knot, a fragile bit of fabric that usually wouldn't last a year in normal use.
"They are rare as hen's teeth," Park Service historian Frank O'Reilly said in an interview. "This was clearly a sword taken care of with love, which also speaks to the idea that it was his favorite one."
Its provenance and fine condition testify to friendship, loyalty and admiration felt by the troops in Burnside's first command, O'Reilly said.
"The first Rhode Islanders were not only saying 'job well done' and 'We were the first ones engaged, you were the first to lead us in battle,'" the historian explained. "They meant, 'You're moving up and onward, but we were the beginning, and we appreciate you.' I don't think that was a hollow thought with him."
Burnside went on to have a long and fruitful life, serving as governor of Rhode Island, a U.S. senator and president of several railroads.
But O'Reilly, who wrote what's considered the top military history of the Battle of Fredericksburg, believes this talisman of his early military career held a special place in Burnside's heart.
"Given the way he clings to this sword for the rest of his life, unlike any other, I think it was the most sentimental sword he ever had," he said.
Generals would often have 15 or 20 swords in their collection, O'Reilly noted.
The weapon arrived at the visitor center 150 years to the day that Burnside's predecessor, George Britton McClellan, left Warrenton on a train upon being relieved of his command by President Lincoln. McClellan, infamous for being too timid when confronting Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, was cashiered after failing to promptly pursue Lee's forces into Virginia after the Battle of Antietam.
Burnside didn't seek the command, but was pressed to accept it by Lincoln. Burnside, a genial man liked by his troops, had successfully led operations off the North Carolina coast and performed admirably in the Battle of South Mountain near Sharpsburg, Md.
Following the Battle of Fredericksburg, with its 15,000 Union casualties, he resigned his command after the disastrous "Mud March," a winter offensive launched from Stafford County in January 1863.
Later, serving under Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, Burnside led troops in the battles of Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House.Fred150 events: 1.usa.gov/STUrzK Burnside's sword: bit.ly/pip57

Coast Hills Baptist Church of Santa Maria was established in 1977 with twenty-three charter members. The growing membership met in various locations until they found their home in a beautiful setting along Rice Ranch Road on almost nine acres in Old Orcutt around 1982.
Bud Silva, a former pastor and evangelist, was called to be their pastor in 1986. He and his wife Sandy and their family have faithfully served their church family and the community all these years.
Coast Hills has always believed in touching the community, and one ministry that has exemplified that through the years is the bus ministry. Each week, their church buses roll out into the community to provide transportation to and from church for children and families in need. They often meet adults today who remember riding to church on the buses as young children.
As the church family expanded and the needs grew, other ministries were established. They now have an expanded children's ministry, a dynamic teen department, and many adult Bible classes and fellowships. Child care is provided so parents can enjoy any of the services, and Spanish translation of the services is available through hearing devices.
Coast Hills Baptist Church – a warm and friendly atmosphere where Christ is the central theme and visitors are always welcome!

About Kava Kava...
Kava is a native of the Pacific islands, and in early times was distributed eastward by migrating people, who used the root in a drink with ceremonial importance. In many of these cultures, Kava continues to play an important role, being used in ceremonies, festivals, and as a sign of good will.
Relax with our unique Kava blend, spiced with Cinnamon and Cranberry, and let it carry you away.
It all starts with the herbs. Celebration Herbals is dedicated to bringing you the best tasting teas, grown and processed as close to "the way nature intended" as possible and never irradiated.
Our herbs are grown and harvested with the highest standards of quality control. You can trust our new special designations - Certified Organic, Ethically Wildcrafted, and Pure Quality.
We are committed to the environment. In this box you won't find any strings, tags, or staples in our chlorine free bags. In addition, our boxes are made from 100% recycled board. A resealable freshness bag is used to extend the quality and life of your tea.
We hope you enjoy the beneficial pleasure of drinking these teas as much as we have enjoyed blending, hand crafting and packaging them for you.
Herbally Yours,
Celebration Herbals
Suggested Use
- Good water is an essential part of brewing a great cup of tea. We recommend using spring or filtered water.
- Be sure to relax! Some of the most enjoyable aspects of tea are the calmness and ritual that surround it.
- Kava is not a tough root and is more potent when not exposed to extremely high temperatures. So that your tea has its maximum medicinal properties and flavor, be sure that your water is slightly cooled from the boiling point when you pour it over your tea.
- If you desire a medicinal tea, be sure to use one tea bag per cup of hot water, cover and steep for 7-12 minutes. This is known as the infusion method.
- If you desire a pleasure tea or quick brew, use one teabag per cup of hot water. Pour water over teabags, cover, and let steep 3 to 5 minutes to taste. Enjoy!
Supplement Facts
Kava kava root (piper methysticum)
Cinnamon bark (cinnamomum loureirii)
Fresh dried cranberries (vaccinium macrocarpon)
Kava kava/cannelle/canneberges
The above herbs have been chosen as identifying with our demanding standards. Every batch is thoroughly tested to ensure superior potency and flavor, so you can enjoy a great cup of tea!
No flavorings, preservatives or sweeteners of any kind.

February 3, 2013
University of Virginia senior swimmer Lauren Perdue received accolades Sunday afternoon during halftime of the women's basketball game.
Perdue, an Olympic Gold medalist, signed autographs for children as part of National Girls and Women in Sports Day.
"It's so great. I love seeing all the kids here and all the support I've had from Charlottesville. It's just been amazing," she said. "I'm just thankful all these people have come out to see me and get my autograph, it means a lot.
"I remember getting autographs from Olympians and thinking, 'One day, if I could possibly be in their shoes and be in their position, it would be so great,' so I'm just thankful," she said.
University of Virginia President Teresa Sullivan and athletic director Craig Littlepage recognized Perdue for her achievements at halftime of the women's basketball game against Georgia Tech.

Alice McCall Hair and Makeup 2014 Australian Fashion Week
The Alice McCall Girl's Hair and Makeup is a Marriage of Glitter and Grunge
Source: Getty
The much-anticipated Alice McCall Australian Fashion Week show is happening as we speak and we have all the backstage beauty details.
The look for today is tough and grungy, perfect to try this weekend. "The theme of the collection is quite ethereal, inspired by being in a dream-like state, and so is the set, so we wanted to bring it back to earth and toughen some sort of aspect of the girls," says Jenny Kim for KMS.
Mac Cosmetics' Victoria Baron agrees, "we wanted to marry a glitter grunge look, so you have the juxtaposition of a bit of fun and glamour and a cool, rock chick girl. We had a couple of girls in mind — Abbey Lee Kershaw, Sky Ferreira, Kate Hudson in Almost Famous — and we just thought, what would they wear if they were given a pot of glitter? It's just about making sure it's not too pretty."
Like the sound of that? Read on for more, and the gorgeous pics of course!

This is a discussion on What does it 'cost' a dealer to do an FFL transfer? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Originally Posted by hinkleid My local FFL guy charges me $10 to fill out the ATF form and do the transfer. You guys are getting ...
GT Distributors is a three store chain out of Austin Texas, with a Dallas, store, and a Rossville, Ga. stores, that do $10 FFL transfers. Why would they do that? They are incredible stores, online sales, and police supplies. When I bought my first online gun from Bud's the closest Bud's "prefered FFL" was GT, and I was surprised to find them to be a $10 transfer. So were did that sale lead to. After be introduced to GT, this year, I have now bought one Gun from them, over $300 in gun related goodies, sent a friend to them for a Colt AR, and another for friend for a home defense Mossberg 500, so how much profit did GT get for this $10 transfer. This is a true story, and you might like to relate this to those that want to hit you for $50 for a tranfer, and they do it with a smile too.
My FFL charges $15 for a transfer and $30 for shipping.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
then they should knock the chip off their shoulders.Maybe you should knock the chip off of your shoulder and vote with your feet. There is nothing wrong with anyone charging whatever they want to for any service and you are free to accept or decline same. To suggest, however, that you somehow know their business better and they are "gouging" or have chips on their shoulders is unfair as a generalization.These guys charging $30-40+ are just gouging.
Sure, there are some LGS that have "chips on their shoulders", but it is just not the FFL fees, it is their whole attitude.
Please do not condemn an entire group with a generalization. It is case by case, store by store, and that is just the way it is.
Edited to add: I am not trying to come across harsh here, but businesses have costs and they make choices on pricing and everyone is free to accept or decline the proposition offered. I understand, quite well, building loyal customer bases and relationships, and frequent an LGS for that exact reason, and have a great relationship with her. I use her for transfers and purchases, advice, and figure she treats me well on the FFL Transfer Fee. To be honest, I don't even know what her fee is, because I assume she is fair based on her business model.
There is an old saying in business about "being too sharp" and I have lived that way almost all of my life and it has served me well. Your results may differ.
The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins. ― The Journals of Kierkegaard
It'll take 15 minutes for you to fill out the 4473 then call it in to NICS. Then some more time to log the gun in, log it out, file the paperwork. A straight forward transfer is me getting the gun from UPS or Fed Ex, being there to sign for it, placing it somewhere for safekeeping, calling you up to tell you that it is here, once if I get you the first time, or maybe several times playing phone tag.You walk in, complain about the ridiculous 4473 requirement and how the Government doesn't need to be in your business, stand around while I call NICS and get approved. You admire your gun and leave. It took you 15 minutes to fill out the paperwork. You walk out the door assuming that is all there is to it.It can't seem to take more than 15min assuming its a straight forward transfer right?
Its not. Its all about time. Considering that I only charge 25 to do a transfer, by the time I count how long it took, that 25 bucks starts looking awful small. It looks really small when I do NFA stuff, which is a paperwork nightmare when others charge 50-100.
Most dealers don't do it to make money, they do it as a service to their customers. Some of the local gun-shops in this area don't even mess with transfers because its just not worth it.
That would work. The easiest way would be to tell people that you don't do transfers. No sense in ticking anyone off. The reason that they get all huffy and frustrated is because they have to listen to a ration of crap from everyone that doesn't agree with them. It gets old fast. Real fast. I'm not justifying it by any means, but I understand where they are coming from.I guess the other way to discourage people from using you for a transfer besides the cost is to just get all huffy and frustrated when at the customer when they ask you to do it.
I'm small beans. I do maybe 3 transfers a week, more around the holidays or the start of hunting season. To be honest, it they went completely away, I wouldn't care, it wouldn't affect me one bit.
10 bucks for a transfer? I wouldn't do it. Not worth my time. I have better things to do.
I would rather stand against the cannons of the wicked than against the prayers of the righteous.

I have been buying the majority of my guns and ammo from one local shop for years. The dealer gives me and other steady customers a break on all prices and/or will beat all other gun store advertised prices. When I order a gun through him there is no transfer fee and if I use him to receive a weapon it is a flat $10 plus the call. We must all remember that the main reason a person goes into business is to make a return on his labor and investment.

The cost of time is the total of the business person's expected salary and benefits for that time period,
the cost for opening and operating a store during that time period, the cost of insuring that business for that

which go into the cost of time.
I don't like paying the fee and I don't like having to have the middleman in the transaction. Nevertheless,

They are free to decline doing the transfer at a reasonable price for that area, but that may eventually come up to bite them in the heiney
Here is my original text from post # 15;
But if he doesn't have an "old pistol/rifle/shotgun" that I want/need and a dealer in Dinglehopper Heights USA has one, at a price I want to pay, then they should knock the chip off their shoulders.
Now if its a NEW firearm,sold by a dealer in another state for a whole lot cheaper, they should @ least be given the opportunity to knock their price down somewhat, to come close.
I have done that in the past, with two revolvers.

consider that there would be additional costs; some substantial--such as the shipping of the shotgun and
the services of the FFL. Had those been thought of up front, you might have decided that you really don't
need that gun from Dinglehopper Heights. Small business people in this country have a hard time making
it. They compete with big box stores that can easily undercut them. They have to deal with myriads of local
regulations without benefit of a corporate office full of legal eagles. They can't afford to self-insure.
It is your choice whether or not you need that gun from Dinglehopper Heights and are willing to pay the transfer
fee. And if you are unhappy with the transfer fee, find someone who will do it for less or don't go through with
the transfer. But don't bash the small merchant for trying to stay alive. Chances are he is working terribly
long hours and netting out very little real income or profit, unless he is into specialty service and doing more
than just the retail sales.

amortization of her computer equipment, payment of her phone bills and internet connectivity.
As I wrote earlier, time is money, and I'll add that it is costly. IT may look like the dealer isn't doing much,
but there is a lot going on; including the need to make sure he stays legal.

FFL transfer fees ,,,, are the main reason ,,,, I do not buy a lot of guns
over the Internet. I just think it is stupid to pay the fees,,,,,, you should
be able to buy straight with out the middle man.

Heathrow 777 crash: 'No anomalies in the major aircraft systems'
The man has something
Brian Morrisons comments seem about the only plausible explanation I have seen. If the pumps show sign of cavitation then at some point they have been operated with insufficient fuel, I suspect that if the aircraft had operated with one or more tanks at low level in the past, the main obvious reason for insufficient fuel, it would have been an event that the flight crew would have logged and would have been picked by the AAIB. Although nothing is guarenteed on this planet if the Quick Access and FDR show systems demanding full throttle with correct fuel valve and pump commands then I would believe the systems tried do do what was requested - generally these data are monitored tale backs i.e. the actual commands provided to LRUs and not "internal" software variables i.e. for example the FDR wouldn't log what the FADEC said it was commanding but would log the "real" used command being sent. In anycase although FADECs are almost unique in not being dissimilar (I await the emails on this subject....) the idea that the same common mode failure could occur on different engines at different times with almost certainly some distribution in engine and throttle states is pretty far fetched (not impossible but certainly not as plausible as Brians explanation). But in anycase I am sure it will prove to be something else ...

Direct numerical simulation
A direct numerical simulation (DNS)[1] is a simulation in computational fluid dynamics in which the Navier–Stokes equations are numerically solved without any turbulence model. This means that the whole range of spatial and temporal scales of the turbulence must be resolved. All the spatial scales of the turbulence must be resolved in the computational mesh, from the smallest dissipative scales (Kolmogorov microscales), up to the integral scale L, associated with the motions containing most of the kinetic energy. The Kolmogorov scale,, is given by
where ν is the kinematic viscosity and ε is the rate of kinetic energy dissipation. On the other hand, the integral scale depends usually on the spatial scale of the boundary conditions.
To satisfy these resolution requirements, the number N of points along a given mesh direction with increments h, must be
so that the integral scale is contained within the computational domain, and also
so that the Kolmogorov scale can be resolved.
where u' is the root mean square (RMS) of the velocity, the previous relations imply that a three-dimensional DNS requires a number of mesh points satisfying
where Re is the turbulent Reynolds number:
Hence, the memory storage requirement in a DNS grows very fast with the Reynolds number. In addition, given the very large memory necessary, the integration of the solution in time must be done by an explicit method. This means that in order to be accurate, the integration, for most discretization methods, must be done with a time step, Δt, small enough such that a fluid particle moves only a fraction of the mesh spacing h in each step. That is,
(C is here the Courant number). The total time interval simulated is generally proportional to the turbulence time scale given by
Combining these relations, and the fact that h must be of the order of , the number of time-integration steps must be proportional to . By other hand, from the definitions for Re, η and L given above, it follows that
and consequently, the number of time steps grows also as a power law of the Reynolds number.
One can estimate that the number of floating-point operations required to complete the simulation is proportional to the number of mesh points and the number of time steps, and in conclusion, the number of operations grows as Re3.
Therefore, the computational cost of DNS is very high, even at low Reynolds numbers. For the Reynolds numbers encountered in most industrial applications, the computational resources required by a DNS would exceed the capacity of the most powerful computers currently available. However, direct numerical simulation is a useful tool in fundamental research in turbulence. Using DNS it is possible to perform "numerical experiments", and extract from them information difficult or impossible to obtain in the laboratory, allowing a better understanding of the physics of turbulence. Also, direct numerical simulations are useful in the development of turbulence models for practical applications, such as sub-grid scale models for Large eddy simulation (LES) and models for methods that solve the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (RANS). This is done by means of "a priori" tests, in which the input data for the model is taken from a DNS simulation, or by "a posteriori" tests, in which the results produced by the model are compared with those obtained by DNS. The biggest DNS in the world, up to this date, used 242 billion degrees of freedom. It was carried out by a team of researchers at the University of Texas at Austin on Mira, the IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputer at Argonne National Laboratory in 2013.[2]

The mark of an entrepreneur? The ability to see opportunity, when others see challenge, obstacle, and impossibility.
As I shared last week, a recent Inc Magazine article offered up one of the best definitions of "entrepreneur" that I've ever seen:
"Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled."
Which means, if you want to start a business. If you're dying to take the leap from your nine to five. If you've always wanted to test the entrepreneurial waters, there's no better time than now.
The resources at your disposal may not be ideal. Money will be tight. Finding clients isn't going to be easy. But, even in our challenging economic state, business-owners are growing and thriving in their ventures. For many reasons, of course, but maybe above all, because they take action. They're willing to take the first step. They're willing to try.
While others are stuck saying, "I can't", they're saying, "I can" and "I will". Rather than allowing the doubt and fear to consume them, they used and use that unknown and uncertainty as motivation. Then they go make shit happen.
The Inc article goes on to say:
"Every time you want to make any important decision, there are two possible courses of action. You can look at the array of choices that present themselves, pick the best available option and try to make it fit. Or, you can do what the true entrepreneur does: Figure out the best conceivable option and then make it available."
This has much less to do with entrepreneurship, and much more to do with life.
As Seth Godin so aptly puts, "It's completely up to you":
"…So many things are now completely up to us, more than ever before. Where and how and when we work and invest and interact and instruct and learn.
If you think you have no choice but to do what you do now, you've already made a serious error.
It seems to me that passing the buck on this merely because it's easier than choosing is precisely the wrong strategy. It enables an abdication of power that will be very hard to reverse. It's up to you, and that's part of the power that you've got…"
You have a choice. And whether you're starting a business or waiting tables, don't let anything, or anyone, stop you from making that choice. Let it be yours, and yours alone.
The choice to do more. The choice to do less. The choice to be better. The choice to be best. The choice to live the life you've always imagined.
I leave you with one profoundly simple and complex question: What will you choose?
Today is the new tomorrow. There's no better time than now.
Dude – we're a long time dead. Get on and make stuff happen, amen to that. Cheers for writing this Matt
It really is amazing how much opportunity and freedom we have now. It is so easy to travel, start a business and do anything we want. It is too bad that so many people choose to waste their free time in front of a TV or in a shopping mall.
Easy? I'm not so sure it's easy – but you're right, the opportunities are out there if you're willing to work hard. More than ever before. Now is one of the best times to make great things happen…
Where to start? That's the question for me. I've no idea where to even begin …
That's a great question, Cesar – and it's often the most difficult one to answer. Without knowing you, what you're wanting to do, it's hard to say.
The best thing I can tell you, generally speaking, is to think about what it is you want, and then tangibly think about/write down what's standing in your way – note all of the obstacles – money, location, whatever, then start thinking about what it will take to overcome those obstacles – start with the bare bones basics. How much money do you need in your bank account to survive? Money is without a doubt the number one thing that holds people back – but it that's your only challenge, it's often much easier to overcome than you think, if you're willing to hustle, work hard, and make some short-term sacrifices for long-term results.
If you're struggling with WHAT it is you really want to do – discovering what your passion really is – the best thing I can say is to experiment – keep your job, but start dipping your toes into a few different things you might want to try. Don't take the leap for the sake of leaping – be smart about it – but do what you can to test the waters of other possible directions.
As always, if you want to chat through anything, feel free to drop me an email. matt(at)proofbranding(dot)com!
Matt & Amy Keperling – Thank you Anna! I can't tell you how much we love the photographs. You are ralley an artist. We feel like you captured the day perfectly for us. I have heard so many people say that looking at the photos they felt like they were at the wedding. You were awesome to work with. We are already trying to come up with an excuse to have another photo session. We keep hearing from our family about how great you were and that they love the spectacular photos. You were ralley awesome and I can't say it enough. Thanks again! Amy & Matt
This is the issue I've been fighting with. No good reason not to start now, but plenty of mediocre ones. For now, fear over the next 3 months overcomes the urge to start now. Maybe that will change, maybe it won't. If not, watch out May 2012, I'm gunning for you.
I'm sure you'll make it happen when you're ready, but seriously, whatever it is you want to do, think about the things that scare you – that are holding you back from going and doing those things, write them down, and start thinking about how to get over them. Don't let *you* hold yourself back…
The fear involved revolves around the lack of home internet access I'll have around that time. I haven't NOT had internet at home in over a decade, so I'm uncertain how well I'll be able to work on web-based projects in libraries and cafes where my time is limited as opposed to my current work style of hopping between several concurrent tasks over the course of several hours. So the fear is not being able to deliver because I couldn't adapt to the demands of a new workflow.
This article sums up the advice I used to start my business. For as long as possible I would have excuse after excuse not to do anything but now I see in order for success I must take the first step and put forth the effort. I understand this lesson much more now.
I've learned something interesting about myself as an entrepreneur over the past few years. One I had a taste of taking action and making things happen, I couldn't get enough of it. I moved on a few more ideas/opportunities – in part because I somehow felt like I needed to insure myself through diversity of income, and in part because I was just so excited about all of the opportunities. Each opportunity sort of exploded (in a good way), and I think it's safe to say that I overcommitted myself (hence not nearly as much blog reading or writing as I would like lately). I've learned the beauty of focus. Certainly don't wait to take action, but make sure you can commit the time and energy that your idea needs to reach its full potential.
GREAT points, Allie. I've been there. In many ways, I still am. Focus is so, SO important – trying to do everything while being everything to everyone? It'll drive you nuts. The opportunities are great. The money is great. The sanity? Not so much. Learning how to say "no" so you can say "yes" to the right things can be easier said than done, but is critical to success, and sanity.
Hope all is well, Allie. It's good to hear from you!
Well said, Matt! Things are good – just working on getting back to focus (and maybe a little time for relaxing).
I'll cheers to that. I'm working on, more than anything, getting some of the balance back. It's a work in progress…but I'm getting there.

Unrest costs Iraq's Anbar $20bn: Official
By Aref Youssef, Saturday, May 03, 2014
BAGHDAD – Iraqi authorities have estimated the losses in the violence-ravaged Anbar province in western Iraq at $20 billion.
"The damage caused by attacks by the militant Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) in the province is estimated no less than $20 billion," provincial council chief Sabah Karhout told Anadolu Agency.
"It will take five years at least to reconstruct the city," he said.
Anbar has been the site of a deadly showdown between ISIL, which the Iraqi government say is linked to Al-Qaeda, and Iraqi security forces for several months ago.
The movement destroyed around 25 bridges in Anbar in an attempt to disconnect some cities and paralyze army operations inside it, a security source said.
According to the source, ongoing battles in Anbar have brought major projects in the main cities of Ramadi and Fallujah to a halt.

A Barboursville woman gets the wrong dose of insulin and ends up at the hospital. She says it's all because of a mislabeled syringe she bought at Wal-Mart.
If you're a diabetic you may want to take a second look at your Reli-On brand syringes.
In a box that Shirley Payne recently bought, about 5 syringes were mislabeled, causing her to take too much insulin.
Shirley Payne has been living with diabetes for over 20 years and has never had a problem with her insulin or supplies until now.
While vacationing in the mountains in North Carolina Shirley got sick and didn't know why.
"Makes you nervous because you feel like you're helpless to do anything. I was given her candy driving one hand off that curvy mountain and given her candy and glucose and everything else and she's still putting the meter down and she says it's not helping," said Roger Payne, Shirley's husband.
It turned out Shirley had taken too much insulin. They rushed to get Shirley help.
"They put that needle in her arm and got here back up we thought everything was find and Jim dandy but we still couldn't understand why she just got down so low and couldn't get here back up," said Payne.
When Shirley got back home she figured out what lead to the wrong dosage.
"She got this box and she was looking through it… these needles are not all the same there the same size but there not marked the same," said Payne.
And when she went back to the Wal-Mart where she purchased the syringes, she she did not get the answer she was looking for.
"They said we'll give you another box for them if you turn them in. She said that's not the real thing of it it's dangerous for people to pull it up in its mislabeled," said Payne.
Shirley is better now. She says she now wants to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else.
CBS19 contacted both Wal-Mart and the company that makes the syringes both said they were looking into the matter but have not recalled the item.
The syringes are made by Reli-on and are sold at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club pharmacies.

I went by our local theater tonight, owned by Malco Theaters, and was looking at the movies on the signs outside when I noticed the huge new "No Carry" signs on the front doors. Me and the wife just kept on driving after seeing that. I was curious if this is a new policy at all Malco theaters or just our local one. Has anybody else noticed this at their theater?

I am not familiar with this chain but I went to see The Hobbit with the wife Saturday before Christmas and didn't notice any signs on my local theater. If I had seen the signs I would have done the same as you, I refuse to patronize those businesses as much as possible, especially a theater, the owner must be a libtard and not realize by hanging that sign he has just created a possible killing field for some unbalance a$$hole. Also, if you just HAD to see a movie and that is the only venue to do so, I would only do so by defying the sign and carrying anyways, you almost have to since the owner posted signage inviting any local psycho to shoot the place up.

the big theater chain around here is marcus cinema. before the batman shooter they had a "no guns" sign after the colorado shooting the signs disapeared.
guess it depends on how stupid the management is. sounds like the malco folks are pretty damn stupid
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
Around here the chain is AMC theaters. I have never seen any signs, but it's been a couple months.
Cinder and I watched a movie earlier tonight. I was packing.
I wouldn't obey the signs anyway. My moral compass is the only law I abide by, to the rest, damn the consequences, innocent life is worth more than any word on any paper.
Regal no signs, Tinseltown has signs but small and easy to miss, signs on private businesses not actually legal in La. All they can do is ask you to leave if they notice you are carrying.
Yeah, they also say you can't bring in your own food or drink. I ignore that one too. I'm not paying $5 for some popcorn.

Just when you think you know everything about traditional sock knitting, another little-known tradition shows up to expand your boundaries. Donna Druchunas looked for information on the knitting of her Lithuanian forebears for years, and finally visited the country to learn what she could. What she learned turned out to be a lot!
In this workshop, you will learn:
The role of Lithuania in Fair Isle knitting
Join Donna as she tells of her odyssey and the sleuthing and speculating that led her to a deep understanding of Lithuanian knitting and its place in contemporary culture. Then challenge yourself to knit any or all of the three exceptional sock patterns she has included on PDFs within this DVD.
Donna Druchunas
Donna Druchunas has explored traditional knitting from the Arctic to Eastern and Western Europe to South America, and has shared her knowledge in books, magazine stories, and videos. Donna teaches throughout the U.S. and Europe. She lives in Longmont, Colorado.
I am first generation Lithuanian. These patterns and color work are 'right on' the mark. I remember my father and his brother wearing these same socks. It is so nice to see Lithuanian patterns being offered to knitters!
(Posted on 6/12/2014)

The first dvd is talk about the history of Lithuanian, no teaching there. The second dvd is real knitting with good view, logical and I am really amazed there are different ways to knit the heels, I learn three new turning the heels and different techniques to knit socks
(Posted on 5/27/2014)
(Posted on 5/27/2014)
This DVD was great. I learned a lot and the filming of this was also very good. Worth every penny. I wish Donna would do some more DVD's.

Rehearsal Schedule for "Once Upon a Mattress"
Before auditioning and committing to the summer musical production of "Once Upon a Mattress," please review the Rehearsal Schedule. Seniors who plan to go to beach week after graduation may not participate due to timing issues.

We will try our best to enable our Ashland swimmers to swim this meet, but we cannot make any guarantees.
Auditions will be this Wednesday and Thursday (May 14 and 15) from 6:00 – 8:00pm. Only one audition is necessary, but we might hold call backs for certain roles (date TBD). Please come prepared with a short song to sing acapella. Please bring younger children (1st through 5th graders) to audition. We will try to finish up with younger children by 7:00pm. We will need older kids (6th – 12th grade) to stay for the whole audition.
Parents may stay to watch the audition process, but it is not necessary and depends on your child's wishes.
Transition Coming at Hanover Arts and Activities Center
The Hanover Arts & Activities Center will face a leadership transition this April, but it didn't have to look too far to find its next Executive Director.
After two years as Executive Director, Tayloe Moore will leave the Center to become Development Manager for the Virginia Baptist Homes Foundation.
Moore has led the Center as important renovations were made to the 155-year-old facility, including a new roof and exterior painting. The Center hosted numerous successful programs including the 2013 "Ashland's Bandstand: Raise the Roof" Variety Show, annual Railroad Run, Fourth of July celebration, first ever Off the Rails Craft Beer Festival and programs marking Black History Month in 2014. Moore's last day on the job will be Friday, April 25.
Replacing her will be Sara Holloway, who has served as a volunteer at the Center for three years, including the last two as Center Board President. Holloway, who will leave her position as Special Events Scheduler at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, is well suited to take on duties as Executive Director.
As Board President, she has been a hands-on volunteer in virtually all of the Center's activities. With her connections at VMFA, she arranged for traveling exhibitions of visual arts at the Center, participation in VMFA's statewide partner exchange, and helped broaden the Center's appeal and engagement with new audiences through social media and new advertising. Holloway will start as Executive Director on April 23.
"As an Ashland resident, I am excited about this opportunity. I look forward to supporting The Center in all three aspects of our mission and continuing the growth and connection to community that is so important to what we do," Holloway said. "Tayloe has done a remarkable job, especially in attracting funding for the Center new sources that enabled us to address needed improvements to our facility."

The Objective and Subjective Aspects of Sound Reproduction
The definition and connotation of the term sound reproduction implies that a facsimile of the original sound is achieved in the reproduction. Sound reproduction involves both objective and subjective considerations in the mechanisms and phenomena required to achieve a high order of fidelity of performance. From an objective viewpoint, sound reproduction is a complex process because a large number of acoustic, mechanical and electronic and combinations thereof are involved. These elements must exhibit a high order of excellence of performance in order to provide a resemblance to a perfect transfer characteristic. From a subjective viewpoint, sound reproduction is a complex process because a large number of psycho-acoustic effects are involved. These effects must be used in an appropriate manner in order to produce an ideal transfer characteristic which supplies a close artistic resemblance of the original live rendition. The main purpose of sound reproduction is to provide the listener with the highest order of artistic and subjective resemblance to the condition of a live rendition. To achieve this objective requires the topmost degree of excellence of the physical performance of the equipment as directed by the psychological factors involved in the process. The purpose of this paper is to describe the physical elements and the psychological effects of applied acoustics involved in achieving high fidelity in the reproduction of sound.

HOUSTON — Houston defensive end Antonio Smith is apologizing for using the word "spying" about New England, but isn't exactly backing down from the accusations he made after the Texans' loss to the Patriots.
On Sunday after Houston's 34-31 loss, Smith told reporters that the Texans had some new wrinkles in their defense and it was "miraculous" how the Patriots changed their offense to key on the defense.
He said then: "Either teams are spying on us or scouting us. I don't know what it is."
On Monday, he said that he thought reporters in Houston knew him well enough to know that he could be joking and still be curious about something like this at the same time.
He says: "I'm sorry I said the word spying because of a prior engagement of them being caught spying before."
