Heather Brady, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Three nights before the Victorian Ball at the University of Mary Washington, an annual event held by the historic preservation department at my alma mater, a friend laced me into an Edwardian corset in my dining room so I could conduct a crucial test: Was it possible to dance while wearing such a restrictive undergarment?
I sucked in my waist, trying to ignore the large Valentine's Day dinner I had eaten only an hour earlier. On the day of the ball, I planned to eat frequent small meals to avoid the situation I was dealing with at that moment, but I wanted to get an accurate sense of the corset's effect ahead of time. The garment buckled out from the center of the laces strapped across my back, straining against the stomach bump caused by the large burger I had so eagerly devoured. Not one of my smartest ideas.
As my friend adjusted the laces to make them even and tied them together firmly, I held my breasts in place and tried not to expand my lungs by breathing. This wasn't the first time I had been laced into this corset, and I didn't need to hold onto a doorframe to keep myself from falling backward like before. I just needed the corset to be tight enough to support my upper body but loose enough so I could move in it.
I pranced into the living room, running from one end of it to the other and waving my arms almost as high above my head as I normally can. The corset was restrictive, but I could still go through the motions of the lively Virginia Reel, one of my favorite dances at the ball. It would work.
An Edwardian corset causes the peculiar sensation of being compressed from just above the bust to the middle of the hips. It pushes everything away from the waistline, making the curves of an hourglass figure bigger, rounder and smoother.
On Saturday, the day of the ball, I had forgotten about the impact this has on my body. Suddenly, my judgment about the places I could fit through was dead wrong. I bumped into a chair on several occasions while passing behind it, making embarrassed apologies to the friend seated in it who was clutching her own dress away from my feet and eyeing me surreptitiously.
So this is why the women of Downton Abbey need maids, I thought as I tried to get dressed. Putting my skirt on with the usual modern method -- one foot after the other -- was not an option, since I had lost my ability to bend over and touch the floor. My beautifully made, steel-boned corset would not allow it.
Instead, I pulled the skirt awkwardly over my head and settled it at my waist, which was several inches smaller now that I was wearing the corset. My hair was already done. I only needed to apply a light layer of makeup (because heavy makeup was a sign of whoredom in the Victorian era) and pull on my velvet jacket and satin waist sash.
The jacket was straight out of the flying scene between Jack and Rose in the movie "Titanic." I commissioned it from a roommate who has the sewing skills of a master seamstress and the eye of a person who can adapt clothing patterns. I first wore the jacket to her 100-year anniversary of the Titanic party in April, as well as the skirt and the same corset I was wearing to the ball this year. The entire outfit cost about $1,000, almost half of which went to the corset made by an online shopkeeper I found on Etsy. I sent her my measurements, and through some small miracle, the corset fit perfectly.
The skirt from that outfit was a hobble skirt, so it didn't make sense to wear it to a ball, especially when Rose herself had some trouble stepping up on the doomed ship's railing while wearing it in the movie. I swapped it for a navy blue floor-length skirt instead, keeping the poofy old-fashioned look but creating room for my legs to move. The clothing from that time period may have levied women with the inability to move, but it wasn't going to stop me from dancing.
The corset could, however, stop me from sitting normally. My options were perching on the edge of the chair with my legs crossed at the ankles beneath me or leaning back in a very stiff, board-like fashion. Sitting with the good posture that always seems to be implemented in pop culture representations of the Victorian era is a lot easier to do in a corset.

Rumormill: Volvo readying five-door hatchback to boost brand's overall sales
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Oct 18th, 2010 at 8:59AM
Volvo CEO Stefan Jacoby wants to move 800,000 vehicles across the globe per year by 2020, which would more than double last year's sales tally of 350,000 and signal a reversal of sales declines. Jacoby expects about 250,000 of those additional sales to come from its integration into the Chinese market, but the remaining difference will be made up by entering new segments, sharpening the brand's focus and becoming a true luxury brand, not just premium. It shouldn't be any surprise that the ex-Volkswagen USA head would have in mind a Golf-sized five-door hatch for arrival in 2012. He... Read More

No. You said the draft is random per round. But I'm saying of we just pick who we want in the order we want on the thread you created an you input them in the program at the end of the round we could have a fair snake draft.
Huh lol
I'm inputting the picks as we go but I'm only updating the index every 5 picks or so.
Do you have the pick after?

No. You said the draft is random per round. But I'm saying of we just pick who we want in the order we want on the thread you created an you input them in the program at the end of the round we could have a fair snake draft.
I possibly could, but it would take a ton of time and I'm not sure how the cap would play into it.
It's not too complicated. U see the team in the program, you look on here to who they picked. Random isn't fun for me. I got a last 5 pick in the first round and the last pick in the second. MBA is a superstar league in a sim game or real life. I think this is an easy solution.is the cap tied to where players are picked ? Or tied to their ability? I could call if u wanted and go over it, I really don't think it would take any time at all. When I get to a computer I can map it out, the idea just hit me like a bag of bricks so I had to post it !
No slim I won't give it a rest. You're the online giving pushback. U want me to give it a rest, then switch second rounders with me. If not then I've heard what you've had to say and the message is not intended for you. After all you just got finished calling the guy who's putting him time an effort a power abuser and a cheater.
You got the 13th an the first in the second round , of course it makes it more fun to you.
Who knows? You could get the 1st pick in the 3rd round. I bet you wouldn't complain then.
Join Date: May 2012
Give me a break dude.
But as for serious input to this discussion, I don't think it's a big deal.
If your pick position doesn't favor you much, then just plan accordingly. If that means tanking, and then building through the draft, then do it. In the end, the best GMs will come out on top. Just draft smart, think long term, and go from there.
Also I thought it was snake order for the first 2 rounds and then randomized from there? Cause if that's the case, I don't see how it's a big deal.
The funny thing is, you even VALIDATE my point that the only reason youre not complaining is because you got the good picks, were you in my poistion, you would be, because lets look up all 10 post higher. You sit there and challenege Hornet's integrity; while later showing you LACK of integrity by that you're ADMITTING doing this because you're in a grander postion (What would you do in my position).
You were crying earlier about something that didnt even effect you. I'll use your words, "You had rules to start the program and you bent them at the first sign of trouble" The fact is, your only argument FOR this random draft is you got an unfair advantage. The funnier part, is i'm not even asking you, you've already been warned if you don't like it to leave. If the guy running the league doesn't like it fine, but I could care less if you leave, I could careless if you post on this again, I could careless about anything about you. You're the only one that's speaking out against it because (as i beat the dead horse again) YOU HAVE AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. Your opinion is highly skewed. It doesn't matter to me or to Hornets and you're intrest are to yourself and not the integrity of the league. You resort to attacking me personally (join date really dude?), instead of debating the points I have to make. You've moved toward insults TWICE now in this thread, but i'm the one who needs to stop? Sorry buddy, maybe in another life.
PS feel free to post again, but i'm not going to be a part of derailing this whole league so you can take some more personal shots. I didn't join Hornetsreport to get in flame wars with people.

this will run for a few seasons right? can we trade future draft picks then?
HR Sim League - Washington Wizards
Ball So hard makes a solid point. It would be a little more work for cp3formvp but a lot more fair. I'm not complaining though, considering I had the 3rd overall.
All in all, if a snake draft is not too complicated, I think it is the best thing to do. If it would require too much work, than we can just stick to the way it is. But there is no argument as to which one is more "fair." Snake draft is much more fair.
sure snake draft is the best way to go, but as CP3forMVP said, it'll be too much work for him. the guy shelled out 40$ for us and is running the league. if he says he cant do it, then who are we to complain?
and slim, try to not to give out insults like "stop crying like a little child" it doesn't make your point clearer.
I dont know if im alone on this, but it doesn't bother me if i pick at the lower half every round. atleast i get to look forward to the upcoming draft. (there is a draft right?) i plan to tank the season before LeBron, Wade, Melo and Bosh comes. but thats just me. winning is not everything, enjoy the league and enjoy the draft! try different lineups, different tempo thats more fun! people love the underdogs right?
Either way he can't do the snake draft. He clearly said that's what he wanted but the league randomized itself.
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
I've got work until one, but when I get off I will look at the league file. If i think I can fix the rosters in two or three days I'll put it up to a league vote.
If it's too much trouble to do a snake draft for the entire draft would a good compromise be to try to snake draft the first two rounds and leave the random order for everything after. That way CP3 only has to input the picks for 1 round (the 2nd), and nobody is at a huge disadvantage for the first 2 rounds.
This is supposed to be fun, and there will be so much more to it than this initial draft. So lets just try to get through it as quickly as possible with less arguing.
Dude don't worry about them! If they don't like it they can leave! All this fu**ing crying is starting to p*** me off! Damn if you don't like they rules the dude set leave!
I'm not a fan of the random draft but I'm not complaining, put the man who made this league threw to much! Damn be grateful.
Oh I get what you are saying now. I'll leave it up to vote when I get home.
So now we are changing the rules again? This is a freaking joke, right?
What is the deal with these amature leagues always changing the rules in the middle of the whole thing? One or 2 people don't get their way, and they cry about it until someone does something for them. This has got to be a ******* joke, right?
Nobody has "cried", asking for a fair shot is more like it. I have a top 3 pick and the random draft order would benefit me, yet I can see that the snake draft is the fairest way to go.

Parents and kids in Utica were shaken up after a scare at a middle school basketball game Tuesday night. A gun wound up on the gym floor and from there, the situation only escalated. YNN's Andrew Sorensen has details of what unfolded and why police are happy the incident ended the way it did.
UTICA, N.Y. -- Parents and kids packed the Donovan Middle School gym Tuesday night, ready for a girls' basketball game. But no one could have anticipated what came next. With a school resource officer and off-duty cop looking on, a 14-year-old boy stepped out onto the court.
Utica Police Sergeant Steve Hauck says the off-duty officer was just there to watch the game. She saw him first, "And [she] then heard him drop something. It hit the wood floor and made a very loud noise," he said.
"At that point, the off-duty officer yelled, 'gun,'" explained UCSD Director of Security John Syrotynski
Police say the officers chased the boy out to a roundabout in front of the school where they caught up with him, but the situation only became more intense.
"He pointed the gun at the female officer and they took cover," Hauck said.
In response, the officers pulled their guns and eventually got him to drop what turned out to be a BB gun, but Hauck says that didn't make the threat any less real.
"If you see these guns, some of them even operate like real guns. They slide back, they have magazines, just like a real gun does," he said.
"Being a retired police officer of 27 years of experience, I'm retired, it's a scary situation," Syrotynski said.
The director of Utica City School District security says although the incident was unfortunate, their security worked.
"It demonstrated that the Utica City School District security plan, which is in place, shows the cooperation between the Utica Police and the Utica City School District," said Syrotynski.
But he also said they have plans to make sure it doesn't happen again.
"If that means wanding, we'll wand," he said.
The 14 year-old was lucky, however, that the two officers showed restraint.
"Everybody makes mistakes, especially when you're 14-years-old, but to die over something like this. Thankfully the officers were there making the great decisions that they did," said Hauck.
Police say they're still investigating why the boy had the gun, but any charges that come from it will likely play out in family court.
The school district says the boy was a student at a different area middle school. They say they can't comment on what punishment he will receive, but they say a five day suspension followed by a superintendent hearing is typical.

Egolf's contract not renewed by SA board
Mitch Sprunger ended his brief stint serving on the South Adams School Board with a few parting words and one final motion as he ended Tuesday's special meeting with the recommendation that the board not allow an automatic renewal of Superintendent Cathy Egolf's contract, and that her current contract not be renewed on June 30, 2011, thus ending her stint with the school.
Sprunger, who was filling the remainder of the term of Myron Schwartz, began his final address to the board by stating that he was not resigning from the board, but "waiving his constitutional right to a holdover term.†After addressing the end of his service, Sprunger made his motion that carried by a 5-2 vote, with board members Steve Dobler and Julie Mansfield dissenting.
When asked to address the action that gives Egolf just one more year with the school following the meeting, Sprunger declined to go into details, but said that, "it was time to go in a different direction.â€
Egolf has been with South Adams since 2006.
Egolf's contract wasn't the only one addressed during the meeting as the board passed by 5-2 vote Egolf's recommendation to not renew assistant athletic director Herb Resler's contract effective June 30. It was the third time Egolf made the recommendation, and following another lengthy discussion on the matter during a work session that preceded the meeting the board acted with Arlene Amstutz and John Mann voting against the motion.
"This was not easy in any way,†said board president Tony Mellencamp. "I am trusting the expertise of those saying that we can do this, and I want to thank Herb for all his years of service.
"Thinking that if we don't take this action and that it might mean deeper cuts that could hurt kids more scares me to death.â€
Resler has served in the assistant athletic director role for 12 years.
Mann stated during the work session that he had spoken with Resler and understood that he would take a $10,000 per year pay cut to remain in the role and said that he would put it in writing.
"I don't have that in writing,†said Egolf.
High school principal Trent Lehman explained to the board that he, Egolf and athletic director Mike Pries met with Dave Vorhees, head of building and grounds, and Judy Miller, head custodian, and all three, "felt much more secure that we could make it without an assistant athletic director. There will be a transition and some bumps that come with that, but we'll have to figure that out.â€
"I've never been at a school where there's been an assistant AD,†said Egolf. "We've been fortunate.â€
The cut stems from a number of reductions the school has made in effort to meet a reduced budget set forth by the state.
The board passed, by 6-1 votes, reducing the athletic extra curricular budget by not filling positions for third through sixth grade boys and girls basketball coaches, third through sixth grade volleyball coaches, and freshman girls basketball if there are not enough players out to make a team, amounting to $7,400 in reductions; and non-athletic extra curricular reductions by not filling elementary yearbook, middle school yearbook, 9-12 student government, 6-8 student government, K-5 student government, six department chairs for single person departments, nine text book adoption positions, machine trades club, Project Lead the Way club, chess club and drama club positions, amounting to around $9,500 in savings.
"We're already lean with our coaches and working with much fewer assistants than many other area schools,†said Dobler, who made the motion toward athletic budget cuts. "I'm not comfortable making any more reductions that that.â€
The board also approved the resignations of varsity girls tennis coach Cindy Greer, seventh grade volleyball coach Edie Coblentz, football assistant coach Brad Buckingham, varsity swimming assistant coach Ashley Koons, varsity track assistant coach Rod Mosser, junior varsity girls basketball coach Darren Williams, and varsity girls basketball coach Kip Jones.

I've been very busy with professional responsibilities lately, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but is why this blog has been quiet.
My eventual plans for this site are:
- rewrite the family pages to incorporate better sourcing, which will force me to analyze the material I have and hopefully clarify my next research steps
- scan some more photos
- read more relevant history
I am not really pleased with Ancestry.com's new Irish databases, since they are mostly barebones indices. Many of them replicate information I already had from FamilySearch.org (because it's the same info being indexed). I think I'm eventually going to have to join one of the Irish-specific sites, and probably also seek professional guidance, but that's further down the road.
Today I just went through my "people with hints" list on ancestry.com, and discovered that some Deasy ancestors lived right here in Brooklyn! I love it when things get local!

Agribusiness: 2013 Review and Outlook for New Year
U.S. Crop
SAM HALPERT: The U.S. crop finished the year strongly with a
positive yield for crop size. The USDA recently released statistics of yields
over 160 bushels per acre, substantially more than what we expected. They did
take down acreage but it still left us with a very large crop in corn. Soy
also had a good crop. Normalization in yield post-drought from the previous
year is something that we'd been looking for and we continue to think that
crop size has room to grow.
Renewable Fuel Standard
HALPERT: RFS, which is the Renewable Fuel
Standard, will likely be reformed in 2014. There has been a ton of pressure
from various constituents on the fuel standard. It's based on assumptions
about gasoline demand that are outdated and we think that it will change –
it needs to change. It probably won't change to the most effective
mechanism, but the end result would be lower corn demand, which has a
potential negative impact on prices next year.
Outlook for South
Following the U.S. crop outlook, we think that South America should also
see a large crop. In Real, there's a fantastic return for farmers for
soybeans because they are still priced at a premium. With normal
weather, we expect that you'll see good yields and a very large South
American crop, which should put pressure on soybean prices next
for Agribusiness Equities
HALPERT: With the U.S. crop and South American crop both normalizing and
being rather large, what does that mean for the space in terms of the
equities? We think fertilizers have struggled recently. They probably found
a [price] floor, although potash might still have some room to move lower
given the discord in the industry.
We also think that protein has had a strong run. One of the
things that's interesting is that while securing protein supply is still an
issue, the demand for protein is there. The Chinese bought Smithfield,
the largest pork producer, this year. We don't necessarily see a repeat
of something like that, but I think it just highlights the need for an
increased supply of protein.
Finally, I think the area that holds the most interest is in
seeds, where you can see that – if you look at soybean yields, even in
2012 with the drought, the variability in yields has really diminished
and I think that's largely a function of better technology. Aside from
seed technology, equipment technology has also served to impact yields.
Companies like John Deere have had a huge impact on the ability of the
farmers to be more precise with their fertilizer application, to
understand what's going on in their field.

Ricketts' threat to move Cubs doesn't worry Rahm
By STEFANO ESPOSITO and FRAN SPIELMAN Staff Reporters May 1, 2013 12:46PM
Article Extras
Updated: June 3, 2013 3:18PM
Cubs' Chairman Tom Ricketts spoke so softly Wednesday when he uttered the dreaded "M" word, that some in the audience wondered if they'd heard him correctly.
"I'm not sure how anyone is going to stop any signs in the outfield," said Ricketts as he made his first public sales pitch for a planned $300 million Wrigley Field renovation. "If it comes to the point that we don't have the ability to do what we need to do in our outfield, then we're going to have to consider moving."
The threat to move — which Ricketts later insisted was no such thing — came during a speech before the City Club of Chicago at Maggiano's Banquets. His remarks were in response to an audience question about the planned outfield signs, which have rooftop owners threatening a lawsuit to protect their uninterrupted views of the field.
The statement marked the first time Ricketts publicly suggested moving the team.
Dennis Culloton, a spokesman for Ricketts, said the Cubs chairman did not go to the City Club breakfast with the intention of playing his ultimate trump card. He simply gave an honest answer to a question on the mind of just about every Cubs fan.
"Nothing he said was intended to be threatening. But he said what a lot of people are thinking. Signs are critical to funding this program. Without signs, we're back to square one," Culloton said.
"Anyone who's watched these negotiations over the past several months has to know the family is committed to saving Wrigley Field and staying on the North Side. But we've got a process to get through and not everybody in the neighborhood may be on the same page. The alderman and the mayor are committed and those are two great allies. We just hope to get this deal done over the next few months."
If Ricketts is serious about moving — and not just using his comments as political leverage — he has an offer on the table of free land to build a Wrigley replica in Rosemont. DuPage County also has expressed interest.
But Mayor Rahm Emanuel said he does not believe there's a serious threat the Cubs will leave Chicago and the baseball attraction that is 99-year-old Wrigley Field.
"There's now certainty around what they needed: There will be a jumbotron in left field. There will be signage in right field. Things that they think are necessary. There will also be signage in the plaza. That's why I wanted to do a framework and they wanted to do a framework so a lot of questions were answered prior to that," Emanuel said.
"They also know from their own business sense how important Wrigley Field is to their business and how important Chicago is to their business. We worked out a number of those issues. So, this is about going forward into the planning process with big questions answered."
Emanuel has embraced the broad-strokes "framework" he forged with the Cubs after months of painstaking negotiations. But he has left it to the Cubs to sell the finer points to local Ald. Tom Tunney (44th) and his constituents.
That process kicked off in earnest on Wednesday with the filing of a planned development laying out the Cubs' detailed plans to renovate Wrigley and the land around it.
That will be followed by extensive hearings and votes by the Chicago Plan Commission, the Commission on Chicago Landmarks and the City Council.
The Cubs owners have insisted they have an absolute right to put up new signs — just unveiled — in an effort to generate revenue but Ricketts also denied the signs are a deal breaker in the plan to renovate Wrigley Field.
"I don't talk in those terms," Ricketts told reporters after his speech.
Ricketts said the Cubs are "sensitive" to the concerns of rooftop owners, and that his organization plans to meet with them in coming days.
"We've always said we want to win in Wrigley Field," Ricketts said. "But we also need to generate that revenue that we need to continue to compete as a franchise, and having the ability to put video boards or signs in the outfield is very important to us."
Ricketts said the Cubs are losing out on about $20 million annually in advertising revenue without the outfield signs.
"Every other ballpark in Major League Baseball has a video board that generates revenue for them," Ricketts said. "Fenway Park has three video boards."
Beth Murphy, who own's Murphy's Bleachers, heard the speech and said it's too early to say what she thinks of the Cubs' project.
"There's a lot of vetting that we need to do," Murphy said. "It's kind of hard to tell from a rendering how it's going to impact us and our neighborhood."
Murphy added, "I want to work with the Cubs. I'd like to see us figure something out."
The plan to renovate Wrigley, which also includes a planned plaza and a hotel outside the ballpark, is all about making the ballpark better for fans, players, the neighborhood and the city itself.
Ricketts said there are no immediate plans to raise tickets, and that the renovations are about enhancing the fan experience, not making it radically different.
"At Wrigley, we don't want to fix what isn't broken," Ricketts said. "The view from the field, from your seat ... will largely be the same."
The stadium renovation is expected to take five years.
