Postgame breakdown [8:37 PM]
Appleton Post Crescent reports: 'Worst sight: Buffalo tackle Jamie Nails taunting the Packers' Vonnie Holliday when the defensive end appeared to be hurt. On the following play, fans cheered when Packers defensive back Antuan Edwards was hurt.'
Questions and answers [8:35 PM]
Appleton Post Crescent reports: 'Q: Did I really see Tyrone Williams celebrating and playing to the Buffalo crowd after knocking away a pass to Eric Moulds in the fourth quarter, with the Packers hopelessly behind by 17 points? A: Unfortunately, yes.'
Packers notebook [8:31 PM]
Appleton Post Crescent reports: 'The Bills celebrated Alumni Weekend by honoring the 1965 AFL Champion-ship team before kickoff. Among those on hand were Hall-of-Famer Billy Shaw, Jack Kemp, Elbert Dubenion, ErnStratton and coach Lou Saban. Incidentally, next Sunday's home game against ie Warlick, Booker Edgerson, Ron McDole, Al Bemiller, Wray Carlton, Mike Philadelphia has been designated Green Bay's homecoming, featuring many former players. ... Buffalo tight end Jay Riemersma extended his receiving streak to 15 games and recorded his second multi-touchdown game of his career. ... Buffalo is off to a 2-0 start for the 12th time in team history, and first time since 1996. The last time Green Bay started a season 0-2 was 1992. The club finished 9-7, but missed the playoffs. ... Green Bay has lost three straight road games, its longest streak since 1995.'
Bills Bullish on Defense [4:37 PM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: 'Bills fans spent the off-season moaning over the controversial lateral in the playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans and eulogizing the Buffalo careers of popular veterans Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed. The easiest way to forget the past is embrace the present, and Bills fans are doing just that. They've spent the past two weeks rejoicing the revenge of the Home Run Throwback with a win over the Titans and cheering on a bright crop of new young stars.'
Bills pack away a win [4:28 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'Two areas where Buffalo needs to improve are the offensive line and the running game, which are also tied together. Johnson was sacked five times - though two were off blitzes that weren't the line's fault - and was hit on virtually every throw. And, on the ground, the Bills totaled a mere 89 yards (2.6 per carry) with feature back Antowain Smith held to an anemic 17 yards on a dozen attempts. "I was a little disappointed that we didn't run the ball better," admitted Buffalo head coach Wade Phillips, "especially late in the game when we could have run out the clock." But while the line has to answer for the failings of the ground attack, the pressure on Johnson involves everyone. "I think it's on all of us," said Riemersma. "You can point somewhat to the offensive line but by no means is it all their responsibility. "We have to take responsibility as an offensive unit - to get our hot reads, to get our blitz pickups - and make it one of our goals that Rob doesn't get hit like that."'
Bills pay tribute to '65 AFL title team [4:25 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'Among there were quarterback Jack Kemp, wide receiver Elbert Dubenion, guard Billy Shaw, center Al Beimiller, defensive end Ron McDole, defensive backs Butch Byrd, Booker Edgerson and Hagood Clarke, tight end Ernie Warlick, running backs Wray Carlton and Ed Rutkowski and linebacker Mike Stratton.'
Having Favre wasn't enough for Packers [4:24 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'When asked if the Bills' defense was better than he thought they would be, Favre slowly shook his head. "Yep," he said. "They're big and fast. I couldn't tell who's who. I know they're good, and I know their names. And I'm pooped out right now."'
Victory is an all-out team effort [9:15 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Buffalo Bills quarterback Rob Johnson again took a pounding but threw three touchdown passes. The Buffalo defense was outstanding once more, and special teams finally made a big play. Those are just three reasons the Buffalo Bills are 2-0 today after Sunday's 27-18 triumph over the Green Bay Packers before a sellout crowd of 72,722 in a hot (81 degrees) and steamy Ralph Wilson Stadium.'
The beat goes on for 2-0 Bills [9:14 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'It was far from a perfect performance for Johnson or the Bills. But a sellout crowd of 72,722 at The Ralph hardly could have asked for any more from their quarterback or their young team after two weeks of the NFL season. The Bills are 2-0. In their first game, they beat the odds-on favorite to win the AFC. In their second, Johnson outplayed the Packers' three-time NFL Most Valuable Player. And in both games, the Bills' defense - the unit that lost four starters from last year and was supposed to take a step backward - has looked even better than last season, when it led the league.'
Stats don't do Cowart justice [9:13 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Cowart is a major reason the Bills may have the premier defense in the NFL again. Yet you have to wonder if the rest of the country fully realizes how good he is. It's hard to argue with Cottrell's assertion that Cowart should have made the Pro Bowl last year after leading the Bills with 186 tackles. Cowart, one of the most humble players around, said it would be nice to earn a trip to Hawaii, "if people think I'm worthy." "But the decision is out of my hands," he said. "It's up to the people who vote." It's a pretty good bet that he has the Packers' vote.'
Favre pained by latest loss [9:12 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"(If) you win a ball game like this, it kinda makes the aches and pains feel a little bit better. But when you lose, it feels like they're twice as bad," Favre said, peering out from a blue baseball cap. "As frustrating as it is to lose a football game, any football game, I felt like I did everything I could do and left it out on the field. Sometimes it's, I guess, not enough. I'm just hoping I don't fall off this podium."'
Under siege, Johnson proves he's tough enough [9:11 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'On a day when he again was a second-degree assault victim, when his running game went south once more, and when Brett Favre accomplished something that eluded illustrious Packer quarterbacks from Arnie Herber to Bart Starr, Rob Johnson was the difference in the game as the Buffalo Bills got off to a 2-0 start. Johnson's performance won't be enshrined at the Buffalo Historical Society, but it was more than good enough to gouge a Green Bay defense handicapped by injuries and collaborate with the defensive unit for a victory that was close to being easy.'
What is Bills' chief concern? It's the blocking, dummy [9:10 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'John Fina, the son of a physician, earned numerous academic awards when he played football at Arizona. He majored in psychology and could talk for hours about the human mind. But sometimes, it all comes down to mathematics. "You know, when they have eight or nine guys on the line of scrimmage, you can only block six or seven of them," Fina said late Sunday afternoon. "That's how the math works." Simple arithmetic also says the Bills beat the Packers, 27-18. It says they're the only 2-0 team in the AFC East. Rob Johnson put some impressive numerals on the stat sheet, completing 18 of 26 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns. Still, Fina has a point. Despite putting 27 points on the board, the Bills had a serious math problem. For the second week in a row, they were outnumbered by the opposition blitzes. Football is essentially a game of blocking and tackling. Buffalo is doing just fine in the tackling department. It's the blocking that leaves a lot to be desired.'
Moulds' actions speak volumes [9:09 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Eric Moulds should gripe more often. Moulds spent part of the past week voicing his displeasure about the Buffalo Bills' offense and his role in it. But the fifth-year wide receiver let his hands and legs do the talking on Sunday. After catching just two passes for 46 yards against the Tennessee Titans last week, Moulds responded with seven receptions for 103 yards in the Bills' 27-18 win over the Green Bay Packers at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Moulds made all kinds of catches, including a spectacular one-handed diving grab for 42 yards. He also made Green Bay defensive backs look silly with some dazzling runs after the catch. "We just wanted to get out there and make some plays," said Moulds, referring mostly to himself. "When I was asking for the ball, I'm challenging my teammates, I'm challenging myself and trying to get us ready to play. "You can see the explosiveness on this offense. You've got Peerless (Price), (tight end) Jay Riemersma and then Jeremy (McDaniel) coming into the ball game. All the guys are making plays. If you've got that type of skill people out there, you've got to give them the ball."'
Monday billboard [9:08 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Big Picture: For at least a day, the Buffalo Bills sit atop the AFC East standing after their 27-18 win over the Green Bay Packers. Since Indianapolis and Miami both lost, the Bills, at 2-0, are first in the division. The Jets (1-0), however, host New England (0-1) tonight. For the Packers, life's a little more dismal. This is Green Bay's first 0-2 start since 1992.'
Bumbling in Buffalo [8:44 AM]
Packer Report reports: 'The Packers bumbled and fumbled their way to their second straight defeat Sunday, losing to the Buffalo Bills 27-18 at Ralph Wilson Stadium at Buffalo. Green Bay lost three fumbles while starting the season 0-2 for the first time since 1992.'
No-go in Buffalo [7:19 AM]
Wisconsin State Journal reports: 'You knew things had gotten pretty bad for the Green Bay Packers when the team chaplain got kicked out of the postgame team meeting.'
'It ain't good,' and it may not get any better [7:18 AM]
Wisconsin State Journal reports: 'Sherman, the likable, detail-oriented first-year coach, wasn't about to take a barrel over Niagara Falls just because his team lost. But he was more realist than optimist after this defeat. "I really thought we could come up here and I really thought we could win a football game, in spite of the fact that this is a great football team," Sherman said when asked in what direction he thought the Packers were headed now. "We had a great week of practice. I think we addressed issues during practice that needed to be addressed. But for whatever reason, we didn't get it done up here today. We have to look and analyze that. I'm not happy being 0-2. We didn't perform well enough at any phase."'
Avid Bills fans have a reason to feel secure [5:55 AM]
Business First of Buffalo reports: 'The...survey, from a Philadelphia firm called CAP Index Inc...rates the safety of neighborhoods where NFL stadiums are located. CAP bills itself as experts on crime. According to their study the New England Patriots play in the lowest-risk location -- Foxboro, Mass. The Bills, based in Orchard Park, and Green Bay Packers play in the second least risky location.'
Buffaloed and bamboozled [5:52 AM]
Green Bay Press Gazette reports: 'But the Bills (2-0) have one of the best defenses in football and dominated the Packers in two ways. First, a week after holding Pro Bowl running back Eddie George of Tennessee to only 37 yards and a 2.2-yard rushing average, they held the Packers to only 40 yards rushing. Second, they dominated the Packers on third down, allowing Green Bay to convert only two of 12 third-down plays.'
Edwards' injury tests the depth at defensive back [5:51 AM]
Green Bay Press Gazette reports: 'Antuan Edwards, starting Sunday in place of the injured Mike McKenzie, sprained his left knee midway through the third quarter of the Packers' 27-18 loss to the Buffalo Bills.'
Packers' defense was solid until it became 3rd down [5:50 AM]
Green Bay Press Gazette reports: 'At times, the Packers rushed quarterback Rob Johnson, getting five sacks and forcing an interception. At times, they stuffed the run. Buffalo averaged just 2.6 yards rushing a carry. Yet the Bills still managed to pile up 309 yards of offense, including 85 yards on third down, where a myriad of mishaps plagued the Packers.'
Dotson's sudden back pain worries Packers [5:48 AM]
Green Bay Press Gazette reports: 'On the Green Bay Packers' second play from scrimmage in their 27-18 loss to Buffalo, Dotson doubled over in pain as his ailing back seized up and forced him to leave the field.'
Ground game grinds to a halt [5:47 AM]
Green Bay Press Gazette reports: 'The Packers ran just 16 times for 40 yards and got just one first down via the run. Three times the Packers ran on third down. Three times they were held in check.'
It's time for Sherman to start calling the plays [5:46 AM]
Green Bay Press Gazette reports: 'If Mike Sherman wants to instill confidence, he can start by putting his offensive background to good use. He needs to get more involved in the play-calling, unless he is to blame for the lame third-down calls, in which case he should get out of his offensive coordinator's way.'
Favre shows his arm is feeling just fine [5:45 AM]
Green Bay Press Gazette reports: 'Brett Favre didn't show any of the rust in the Packers' 27-18 loss to Buffalo on Sunday that was evident in last week's loss to the New York Jets. Favre missed the final three preseason games because of tendinitis in his right elbow, and it showed early in his 14-of-34 performance against the Jets. But against the Bills, he completed his first 14 passes and finished 25-of-35 for 269 yards.'
Packers in dire straits [5:40 AM]
Green Bay News Chronicle reports: 'The gory details for the winless visitors, as witnessed by 72,722, included four fumbles fueled by a fearsome Bills defense, a close encounter between quarterback Brett Favre and running back Ahman Green and no fewer than five injured players and an equally harsh specter of a season on the brink. The sight of blood on the front of Bills quarterback Rob Johnson's pants afterward was a testament to how frightening things are going for the Packers after two games. "It isn't good," said Favre, matter-of-factly.'
A tough day all around for Edwards [5:38 AM]
Green Bay News Chronicle reports: 'Edwards, the Green Bay Packers' 1999 first-round draft pick making only his second NFL start, was picked on relentlessly by a Rob Johnson-led Buffalo Bills offense. The Bills went after Edwards because he was filling in for Mike McKenzie, injured in the season opener, at left cornerback.'
Defense makes its point, sort of [5:37 AM]
Green Bay News Chronicle reports: 'The most telltale indication is the disparity in the sacks column. Against the Jets: 0. Against the Bills: 5. "A lot was made of how much pressure we weren't putting on the quarterback in the preseason," said Packers' nose tackle Russell Maryland. Unlike the Jets, who ran draw and screen plays and thus forced the Packers to be passive with an otherwise aggressive scheme implemented by new coordinator Ed Donatell, the Bills' fondness of the pass enabled a hungry group of Packers to let loose. They dropped quarterback Rob Johnson behind the line of scrimmage four times in the first half, only one of which was by a lineman - end John Thierry. The other three evolved out of blitzes by safeties LeRoy Butler and Darren Sharper and linebacker Nate Wayne. "We took a lot more chances, and those gambles that we took, they worked," said Maryland, "as opposed to last week when we may not have run as many, and when we did, we weren't as successful."'
Packers experience a painful ordeal [5:36 AM]
Green Bay News Chronicle reports: '"You win a ballgame like this, it kind of makes the aches and pains feel a little bit better," said Favre, who is less than 100 percent physically with tendinitis in his throwing elbow and a sprained thumb on the same right arm. "But, when you lose, it seems like they're twice as bad."'

text: Have you ever watched a dog that is chained? Have you ever noticed how hard he tries to go a little farther, but the chain always stops him at the same place, never letting him go farther and experience more? I notice this when people take their dogs on a walk. They leash them and sometimes use chains to keep the dog from going anywhere other than where the owner wants the dog to go. The dog really has no freedom outside a 3-foot radius.

I have been practicing surgery for 30 years. As a surgeon at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in diseases of the pancreas. My specific focus is on complex pancreatic disease, and my research interests include studying biologic processes that cause pancreatic disease, including pancreatic cancer and the Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
I am also interested in the future of general surgery. I have co-authored a book about the impending shortage of surgeons and steps we need to take to avoid limitations on access to surgical care.
What I enjoy most about working at Ohio State is the expertise that is available here. I relish and continue to practice general surgery in an academic setting. At Ohio State, we are dedicated to improving patients' lives through innovation and high quality patient-centered care.
In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family, travel and enjoy the outdoors.

This week, Albert Lang and Thomas Saucke debate whether fantasy owners should prefer Paul Konerko over Mark Teixeira, a notion that was inconceivable a few years ago.
Albert Lang—Paul Konerko
Since Paul Konerko got healthy at the start of the 2009 season, he has averaged 33 HRs, 78 runs and 101 RBIs with a .296/.378/.530 line.
During that same span (his first three seasons with the Yankees), Mark Teixeira averaged 37 HRs, 102 runs and 114 RBIs with a .266/.363/.514 line.
Yet, Teixeira is being drafted comfortably in the early parts of the third round and Konerko is going 18 picks later. It's easy to argue that Konerko is the better value as their overall performance will be close and Konerko is cheaper– however, even if Konerko was drafted right in front of Tex, he'd be the better fantasy value.
Since signing with the Yankees, Mark Teixeira's batting average has been in a Tom Petty free fall, from .292 to .256 to .248. His 2010 average was explained away by a poor .268 average on balls in play. Well, his 2011 set new lows in average and average on balls in play.
Basically, Tex is selling out to hit homers. His line drive and ground ball rates have dropped each of the past two seasons, while his fly ball rate has increased significantly. Last season, his LD rate was 1.6% below his career average, his GB rate was 3.2% lower than his career average and his FB rate was 5.8% higher than his career average.
According to Mike Axisa in Fangraphs:
Fly balls tend to go over the fence for extra base hits, but they also wind up in outfielders' gloves quite often. Furthermore, [Teixeira's] infield fly rate has jumped from 8.8% in 2007-2009 to 13.0% from 2010-2011. Infield flies are the bane of BABIP. It's not unrealistic to think that Teixeira has altered his swing in recent years, adding an uppercut to take advantage of Yankee Stadium's short right field porch.
You want Teixeira for elite performance, but he is, at best, a three-category guy.
While Tex led the position in HR last season, over the last three years he is third. Konerko is tied for 6th over that span but hit just 11 fewer HR than Teixeira.
Tex is also third over the past three seasons in runs scored among first basemen, while Konerko is 10th. Tex outscored Konerko by roughly 70 runs.
Tex comes in fourth in RBI at the position from 2009-2011 and Konerko comes in seventh, but only 37 RBI (or 12 per season) behind.
Konerko flips the tables when it comes to average. Konerko has the sixth best average during that span, while Teixeira has the 19th best average among first basemen.
There is a massive gulf between them in only one category (average). Quite simply, Konerko has a huge edge in average – and that margin is only getting bigger. Konerko helps you in four categories. Tex helps you in three categories but damages you in one other.
At the end of the 2012 season, Mark Teixeira will bat .265, hit 35 HRs, score 95 runs and knock in 105+. Konerko will bat .305, hit 33 HRs, score 90 runs and knock in 100. Tex will edge Konerko slightly in all of the counting stats, but Konerko will take Tex behind the woodshed when it comes to batting average.
In addition, if it is true that Teixeira has added an uppercut to his swing (to hit more HRs, satisfy the contract, avoiding the shift, etc.), a .265 average might be a pipedream, as his ability to hit much better than .250 will be significantly tested (and probably require multiple sacrifices to Lady Luck).
Tex is a fine fantasy option, but his price tag is of a premium talent. He is no longer that and Konerko is cheaper and safer. Wait and take Konerko.
When sizing up the market for first basemen in 2012, it's pretty clear that four will be off the board by the end of the 1st round. Miguel Cabrera, Albert Pujols, Joey Votto, and Adrian Gonzalez are all run-producing machines and excellent cornerstones on fantasy rosters. With Prince Fielder likely to go by the end of the 2nd round, 5 to 7 managers (depending on league size) will most likely be left wondering what they can do to fill their first base slot. Next up will be Konerko and Teixeira; who should fantasy owners prefer?
The answer should be Mark Teixeira over Paul Konerko 10 times out of 10.
Tex plays in a more favorable ballpark, hits in a better lineup, and has the career numbers to prove that he's the superior selection. He also has age on his side.
In his three years with the New York Yankees, Tex has averaged 102 R, 37 HR, 114 RBI, and a .266 BA. His BA has taken a nosedive from earlier in his career as he's attempted to transform into a fly-ball hitter thanks to the friendly confines of Yankee Stadium and the ridiculously accessible porch in right field. Tex's shockingly low .239 BABIP in 2011 contributed largely to his .248 BA. Of note, this coincided with another increase in his fly ball rate, which has moved from roughly 39% before signing with New York to 46.8% in 2011.
Moving forward, there isn't a lot that needs to be said about Tex. He's a lock to hit 35+ HR, score 95 runs, and drive in 110. The only major question mark is his batting average which will improve slightly in 2012. His BABIP should come back to .265 and, in turn, raise his BA to somewhere near .259.
Paul Konerko, while consistent over his career, isn't on the same level as the Yankee first baseman. Over his last three seasons, Paulie has averaged 78 R, 33 HR, 101 RBI, and a .296 BA. This is very nice production. The counting numbers, especially runs scored, aren't as good. It's clear, though, that BA represents the differential.
How much does the BA difference matter, though?
The 30-point BA gap is substantial in the grand scheme of things. I don't think it matters enough to justify Konerko, however. BA is such a difficult statistic to predict. Look at Matt Kemp from 2010 to 2011 and you'll scratch your head. Which Kemp can we expect in 2012? Anyone who drafts him is paying for a career year but the reality is probably somewhere closer to .310. Konerko has been very consistent over his career. The problem, though, is his age. Konerko will be 36 in March whereas Tex is on the verge of turning 32. While Teixeira is on the downside of his prime years, Konerko passed them about 10 miles ago.
I know you might remember reading my argument for Pedroia over Kinsler on account of his batting average and you'd be right. The difference is that Kinsler is injury prone. Tex doesn't have these concerns; he's appeared in 156 games or more every year since 2008.
Regression is coming and we don't know when. I'm typically a glass-half-full type guy but there's something about Chicago's lineup that really scares me. Tex can hide in the New York lineup if he struggles, as he did last year at times, and still end up with great numbers. Konerko doesn't have much protection in Chicago, he's getting old, and his counting numbers simply aren't as good.
Draft Tex and take solace in the fact that, no matter what, he can abuse that right field porch if the going gets tough.

|February 8
Editor says, what if Napoleon had been defeated at Eylau? muses Jeff Provine on This Day in Alternate History Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect the views of the author(s).
In 1807, at the height of the War of the Fourth Coalition against Napoleon, France came under defeat by Russia because of a simple failed charge.
Napoleon Defeated at EylauNapoleon had already defeated three such coalitions, finishing off Austria in 1805 at Austerlitz and forcing them to become his ally. Prussia stood to take Austria's place among the allies against him, and Napoleon swiftly overran the Prussians, taking their capital Berlin in October of 1806. From there he marched eastward against the Russians, the final European power on the Continent to stand against him. He pursued their fleeing army until they stood to fight outside the East Prussian town of Preußisch Eylau.
The battle began in the afternoon of February 7 with unproductive French assaults on the heights and spilled over into the town itself as both sides attempted to take it, arguably for the simple reason that the soldiers were trying to find warm shelter from the snowstorm. The fighting died off at 10 PM when the Russians began a retreat and waiting for the French to attack again the next morning. The French obliged with Napoleon giving an attack from the center and his general Augereau, gravely ill at the time, advancing from the left just as a blizzard began. Artillery was blinded; the French firing on Augereau's men and the Russians waiting until they fired point-blank as the French came out of the snow. Augereau fell back, and Napoleon was caught too far advanced as Russians pursued the retreating French. He had used the town church's tower as a command post, and that is where the Russians caught him, taking him prisoner before the Imperial Guard could arrive.
The French army frantically assaulted the Russian lines to get Napoleon back, but the Russians had spirited him away from the battle while chaos reigned among the French. The battle crumbled into defeat, although the counterattack by the remaining Prussians under L'Estocq was repelled by the French cavalry under Marshal Ney, saving the French from a route. Ney united the French and organized them to wait for the terms from Russian General Bennigsen. Bennigsen, who held the enviable position as the first to have suffered Napoleon a reversal at the Battle of Pultusk the previous December, determined to hold Napoleon under strict guard and await the arrival of Tsar Alexander, commenting to his secretary that he had no idea what to do having caught the man known as "the oppressor of Europe and the disturber of the world's peace".
Alexander soon arrived in Tilsit, where Napoleon was imprisoned in luxury. The younger Tsar had come to the throne at approximately the same time as Napoleon, and the two found that they shared similar ideals about autocracy as well as upholding the freedoms of the people. Alexander held great respect for Napoleon, though he had determined him to be "the most famous tyrant the world has produced" after the execution of the duc d'Enghien, which had prompted Alexander to join Britain on what he believed to be a mission from God. After Austerlitz, Napoleon had attempted to reopen diplomatic relations with Alexander, but the Tsar had waited until he suddenly had the upper hand. The two conferred terms of surrender, and, during the discussion, Napoleon astonished Alexander with visions of a world reined over by a French-Russian alliance. The talks concluded with Alexander exclaiming, "What is Europe? Where is it, if it is not you and we?"
The British demanded Napoleon be handed to them or at the very least dethroned, but Alexander understood that, with the tyrant of Europe in his possession, he was the new authority. A treaty was produced in July that protected Austria from being broken up and assured military assistance in the colonial dreams of an "Empires of the East and West" in which Napoleon controlled the Danubian states west, Russia held sway over Finland, and the two worked together to drive out the Ottomans and eventually conquer India. Alexander further drew up terms to end the Fourth Coalition, leaving Britain alone in its refusal to make peace with Napoleon.
Defeated in the east, Napoleon begrudgingly returned to Paris to find Spain in flames as its people rose up against his attempts to conquer the Peninsula. The British embarked a vicious guerilla war, and it was more than enough to occupy Napoleon's time defeating it finally in 1813. War-weary Britain was at last forced to make peace with France and focus on the second war with its lost colonies in America. Afterward, Napoleon made good on his word to the idealistic Alexander (whom he called a "shifty Byzantine"), joining in the Russo-Turkish War with a Grande Arm?e of 450,000 soldiers. He rode through the Balkans, liberating the Serbs, Bulgars, and Greeks who had been awaiting arrival of Russian troops that had moved only as far as Bucharest. Although the campaign succeeded in besieging Constantinople, malaria and other diseases devastated the French troops, and Napoleon eventually retreated.
Europe came under peace for a time until a wave of revolution struck in the 1820s following Napoleon's death in 1821. Spain and Portugal again rebelled, as did Rome, the Piedmontese, German students, and the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily. Revolutionary sentiments struck Ireland with the attempts of Catholic Emancipation, but Britain held fast while the French Empire under the ten-year-old Napoleon II shattered. Russia, who had been the diplomatic giant of Europe for over a decade, also came into trouble with the Decemberists seizing power after the unclear succession upon the death of Alexander and a revolt of the Polish in the 1830s. Europe remained without a clear superpower until the gradual rise of Britain with its industrial empire eventually controlling nearly a fifth of the surface of the Earth.

Editor says, in reality the Imperial Guard arrived in time to drive away the Russian forces, which were held off by Napoleon's staff. Thanks to one of the largest cavalry charges in history, the Battle of Eylau was a French victory, but without any great gain. Napoleon became master of Europe after the thorough defeat of the Russian army at Friedland, but his Continental System of economics meant to starve out the English drove away his allies and led to his disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812.

I'm not sure what your Christmas budget is per person, but I saw this on Pinterest and immediately thought about you. What a perfect gift for everyone in your family.
Gas Deodorizer Pad, only $24.95....

Of course the product wasn't listed exactly as a "gas" deoderizer, but the original word started with an "F" and it told me it triggered the inappropriate language filter.

Oh my gosh, that is hysterical!!!! I do wish I could get them for my family members!!
I'm thinking that maybe I could "make" them myself out of a small box of panty liners (maybe spray them with perfume or air freshener). Make some labels on the computer and wrap them as a gag gift or something.
Oh boy, I'm giggling just thinking about it!

Family Child Care Training
HighScope's Family Child Care Training Series will be offered to 3 cohorts of up to 20 Family Child Care (FCC) providers, for a total of 60 providers. The first 2 cohorts will attend a total of 10 workshops scheduled for 2 hours each, twice a month, for 5 consecutive months. Cohort 3 will attend a total of 6 workshops, twice a month for 3 consecutive months; the last 4 are 4 hours long.
The workshops are intended for providers working in licensed family child care homes, as well as providers offering family friend and/or neighbor care. The workshops will employ a variety of strategies to encourage active participation among the providers.
- Providers will see in concrete terms how the information being shared can influence their current work with the children they care for.
- Providers will have time to share, learn and grow through interactions with each other and the trainer. This will facilitate the development of a learning community, so providers can rely on one another for support and networking.
- Providers will take information back to their child care settings and try out new ideas with the children they care for with the help of an on-site coach.
In 2014, Cohort 1 started on March 8 and Cohort 2 on April 12. Cohort 3 will start on August 9.
Family Child Care Training Cohort participants will receive the following:
- 20 hours of HighScope Family Child Care Training
- MERIT/STARS Credit upon completion of the 20-hour training series.
- Completion bonus of $150 per series (3 series)*
- A small stipend to offset the cost to attend the training up to $300.00**
- Translation/Interpretation Services: interpreters will be available upon request
- Two hours of on-site coaching each month***
- Classroom materials to enhance quality
* The first training series is in 2014. The second and third HighScope training series are anticipated to be held in subsequent years, subject to future City Council budget approval.
** Stipend and bonus are paid out upon the successful completion of all training and will not exceed the annual maximum of $450.00 per cohort participant.
*** Cohort 3 is on a different schedule.

Spanish Wines
Wine is a matter of very personal taste. Over the last 50 years, as we're sure you can imagine, here at Oddbins we've heard almost everything. Those who say that South African wines all taste like burnt rubber, those who aren't keen on the bubbles in Champagne, those who find red Burgundy too thin for their tastes or those who don't like the brashness of Australian wine. In fact we think we've heard people tell us that they don't like the wines from almost every country that makes wine in our time. But one country seems almost immune to this kind of criticism...
...Spain. Spain is awesome. Fact!
We can't think of a more trusted country or one with more winemaking swagger than Spain. Helped in no small part by the worldwide reputation of Rioja, the current fashion for Albariño and Sherry and the great value offered by Cava, a sparkling wine made in the same traditional and quality way that Champagne is but at a fraction of the price, Spain is incredibly reliable, supremely confident and happy to do their own damn thing. And you can't help but respect that.
Growing over 600 different grape varieties, they have as firm a grasp on tradition as they do on the new and adventurous and we're not sure that anyone understands the power of a good label better than these guys.
We're pretty sure that you already love Spanish wine as much as we do, so there isn't much more to say, other than to remember that although Rioja is King, there is so much more to Spain, so don't miss out on its neighbour Ribera del Duero or the lesser known regions of Rueda, Mencia, Galcia, Valencia, the list goes on...

It's very important for all caterers to be aware about food allergy and to take it seriously. This is because when someone eats a food they are allergic to, even the tiniest amount, this can cause a very severe reaction called anaphylaxis.
In the UK about 10 people die every year from an allergic reaction to food and many more end up in hospital. In most cases, the food that causes the reaction is from a restaurant or takeaway.
So if someone with a food allergy asks you whether a dish contains a certain food, you should never guess the answer. Find out the information the customer wants and let them decide if they can eat the food.
The following is a link to the Food Standards Agency's latest advice to caterers.

Brooke Henderson And Jackie Stoelting Awarded Sponsor Exemptions To Compete In The Manulife Financial LPGA Classic
Seven Canadian golfers competing in 2014 tournament
www.manulifeclassic.ca @ManulifeClassic #MFLPGAC
WATERLOO, ON, May 20, 2014 /CNW/ - Brooke Henderson, Canada's top ranked amateur and Jackie Stoelting, Champion, Big Break Florida Season 10 join the field for the 2014 Manulife Financial LPGA Classic at Grey Silo Golf Course, June 4 to 8.
"It's always a treat to watch Brooke Henderson compete and we're proud to have her play in the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic once again," said Marianne Harrison, President and CEO, Manulife Canada. "Big Break Florida has kept viewers on the edge of their seats and we'd like to congratulate champion, Jackie Stoelting, who has earned an exemption to compete in our tournament."No. 3 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, and Canada's top ranked amateur is Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ontario. Henderson continues to turn heads at just 16 years of age, and will be given another chance to do so with her exemption into the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic. Henderson capped off 2013 with a victory on the Florida Orange Blossom Tour, winning the Junior Orange Bowl at Biltmore Golf Club in Coral Gables, posting a final round of 67 for a four-day total of 280; 4 under par. 2014 began with another victory this time at the South Atlantic Ladies' Amateur Championship in Ormond Beach, Fla. Henderson fired a final round 72 to pull ahead of the pack with a 4-stroke victory. Henderson received a sponsor exemption to compete in the 2013 Manulife Financial LPGA Classic, holding her own by finishing T35. For the last 10 weeks on the Golf Channel, 12 women went head-to-head at Omni Amelia Island Plantation in Florida for season 10 of the Big Break, and a chance to launch their career in professional golf. To do so they had to endure a series of intense challenges that tested their golf skills and mental toughness. Only one player received the honour of being named Big Break Champion, and that player was Jackie Stoelting. At 27 years of age, Jackie Stoelting, a graduate of Florida Southern College has achieved her goal of becoming the champion of the Big Break Florida. Along with carrying the title of Big Break Florida Champion, Stoelting won more than $175,000 in cash and prizes (the largest collection of prizes in series history) and an opportunity to play on the LPGA Tour, at the 2014 Manulife Financial LPGA Classic. Canadian Golfers Currently, representing Canada at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic, Brooke Henderson will join Lorie Kane, Alena Sharp, Maude-Aimee Leblanc, Rebecca Lee-Bentham, Sue Kim and previously announced Jennifer Kirby. Kane, the Charlottetown, PEI native has enjoyed great success on the LPGA Tour, Recording season-best T41 finishes at the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic and the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic in 2013. Sharp is still searching for her first LPGA Tour victory, and none would be sweeter for the Hamilton, ON protégé than the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic title. Leblanc recorded a season-best T32 finish at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic in 2013. Lee-Bentham recorded a career-best T11 finish at The Evian Championship as well as carding a career-low 65 during the first round of the CME Group Titleholders.

More Importantly, Who Will Win?
It's just subtle enough that you might not even notice it, but bike polo is locked in a cold war of sorts.
On one side are the forces that we come to associate with bike polo's history: clad in mix and match sports equipment, armed with home-made mallets and normally treating bike polo tourneys as social events as much as a sporting event. These are the people who, without question, made bike polo as big and as fun of a sport as it is today. They are the folks who struggled to find a place to play, were often run off by officials and the police, and simply didn't give up on the game. They are world-forged in the sport, and are oftentimes the people who can identify almost every other veteran player from every other club.
On the other side is the second wave of bike polo players: these are folks who look more like they are playing a sport. They have equipment specific to bike polo, they are more likely to wear padding and face cages, and are likewise more likely to avoid drinking heavily until after they've played, if at all during the day. They play the sport for the sake of achievement, and are consistently thinking of bike polo as something for everyone (rather than something "for us.") Because of this, they might also not be as solid on their feet as the veteran players, but what they lack in skill they more than make up for in tenacity and willingness to learn.
But before I dive into this cold war, a caveat: I'm making sweeping generalizations and categorizing all polo players into two groups, which really is impossible to do. Just allow me this editorial hyperbole for the sake of writing coherently, okay?
What Caused the Divide?
When it comes down to it, bike polo has always been a sport for others. It's creation story is surrounded by people who didn't quite fit into the sports crowd, nor did they fit into the non-sports crowd. It brings together misfits, really, and that's part of the draw of it.
However, all things that are made for a particular group eventually bleed out into the world at large (that is, if they are ever worth a damn), and that's precisely what happened to bike polo. What we have now is a mix of people who are emotionally invested in keeping bike polo the way it is (that is, not making it too mainstream), and people who are emotionally invested in making bike polo into more than it is (or, more appropriately, into something that gets sponsors and write-ups in sports columns).
The war itself is played out most clearly in any online forum or discussion where veterans call out movements towards regulation (ANY new ruleset), new equipment, or new requirements. It might just be a simple "fuck this" or longer explanation of how we're making the sport too rigid to play, but it's all there to be seen. The other side can be identified by how they overstretch to discuss relationships with potential sponsors, how they're willing to drop thousands of dollars on having the "best" equipment, and how little they regard people who are still using non-polo specific equipment. They build online communities and sustain them, or they actively engage in defending new developments in the sport.
Tear Down That Wall
I don't think there isn't room for both groups in the future of bike polo (veterans might say "what future" here, but let's just use our imaginarium caps). Any activity needs people who protect the heritage of the sport as much as people who press forward blindly into what could be.
The truth of it is, I think all polo players have some aspects of both wanting to keep this sport all to themselves and also share it with the whole world in any way possible. Most also lean more one direction than the other. The way to avoid either
- Losing the foundations of our sport to over regulation and increasing costs
- Allowing our sport to become stagnant and shrinking
is to recognize the reason and not the manner that people communicate. Sure, Johnny Old-Head just said your new model for a prototype wheel cover is lame and you don't know what you're talking about, but it might just be because he's scared of watching the sport fundamentally change. In the same vein, Susan New-Idea may have just called you out for refusing to recognize the new ruleset, but really it's because she doesn't want to see injury befall you or anyone else who's playing.
Between the veteran players and the new wave, there's little more to do than try to seek balance. Sure, that might come off as a Russo-inspired phrase, but really it's the best advice I can give (and anytime I can bring in a Russo-esque thought, I will. Because Russo is a favorite).

A good motel for a night or two. Despite being on the Panamerican Highway, it is set far enough back to be quiet. Convenient to buses.

I LOVE this color. I got this for only like $4 which is a bonus! In the bottle I thought it was a little dark and not the color that I wanted. However, when I applied it on my nails, it was the perfect shade for the summer/spring!!! Love it on my toes and fingernails~ Just the best color that goes with anything! :D
This colour is gorgeous <3 And Avon nail polishes last very long so that's always a plus :D

Yellowstone West Entrance opens as scheduled
Yellowstone National Park's West Entrance opened to vehicles as originally planned Friday before budget cuts threatened to push back the date a week.
People now can drive from West Yellowstone, Mont., to Old Faithful or north to Mammoth Hot Springs.
The park's East and South entrances remain closed but plowing funded in part by the towns of Cody and Jackson and area businesses is making progress.
Those entrances also are on track to open on time, or May 3 for the East Entrance and May 10 for the South Entrance.
The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports (http://bit.ly/YA4p9Q ) good weather helped Yellowstone crews open the West gate.
Budget cuts threatened to delay the opening until April 26 while keeping the East and South gates closed until May 17 and 24.

Be prepared without going overboard.
Keep your winter pack weight to a minimum while still carrying the essentials when you pack along the G3 190 Carbon Speed TECH SL Probe. Designed to be G3's lightest and stiffest full-diameter probe, the 190 Carbon features carbon fiber tubing and a super-light internal cord for the ultimate skin-track convenience. The shorter length makes it less compatible for terrain where deep burials are likely, but ultralight purists will appreciate its weight-savings where the risk of slide is low to moderate.
- Quick-pull deployment extends the probe in seconds and can be operated with bulky gloves
- Lightweight triaxial carbon fiber tubing keeps weight to a minimum
- Ice-resistant tech helps prevent jamming
- G3 Cone tech tapers the tip of the ferrules for a quicker assembly and improved cable durability
- Graduated markings in 5mm increments along the entire length of the probe allow for precise measurements when digging a snow pit or during rescue applications

Wedding: 7/30/2011
Kathleen and her staff were excellent and we were thrilled with everything! From our beach ceremony to the outdoor tented reception! They set it all up and provided amazing food, service, value, and flexibility with all of our needs.
Wedding: 6/11/2011
This resort is located less than a mile from Goose Rocks Beach but was secluded with beautiful gardens surrounding the property. We had wanted an outdoor tented wedding with all of our guests staying at the same property. Kathleen and Peter who run the resort made us feel at home and were available for whatever we needed. Unfortunately our vision of an outdoor ceremony and tented wedding was made impossible by the rain. With Kathleen and Peter's help we were able to have everything under the tent (they provided umbrellas for the walk to the tent) which had clear panels so you can see the rain drops falling. It was wonderful!!! Even during the planning process Kathleen and Peter were quick to make suggestions and able to accommodate our vision. We are very thankful and had a great day!! Not even the rain could stop the party!! If you want an at home feel with an intimate wedding, this is the place to go!
Wedding: 6/25/2011
My ceremony was by the pond. Gorgeous, intimate location. We had the reception under a tent and it was just perfect!

TORONTO (ResourceInvestor.com) -- Best known for lemurs, baobab trees and vibrant music, Madagascar is now aiming to be regarded for something that has long eluded this southern African nation - economic growth.
The island government has targeted mining to be a key driver of this advancement.
Host to approximately 17 million people, the world's fourth largest island is mired in poverty, even by African standards - the country ranked in the bottom 30 of the 2004 United Nation's Human Development Index.
Formerly an independent kingdom, Madagascar became a French colony in 1896 and gained full independence in 1960 (French remains an official language, along with Malagasy, and the legal system is based on French civil law).
Ever since, the country has been plagued by political instability, including a disastrous experiment with Marxism in the 1970s.
The latest strife occurred following the presidential elections in December 2001 in which Marc Ravalomanana, the popular mayor of Antananarivo, Madagascar's capital, challenged Didier Ratsiraka, who had ruled the country for close to 25 years.
Ravalomanana accused Ratsiraka of vote rigging; Ratsiraka denied the charges and called for a run-off. A general strike ensued and the country was effectively split with Ravalomanana in the capital and Ratsiraka establishing a rival government in the eastern port city of Toamasina. Not until April of 2002 did Madagascar's courts declare Ravalomanana the rightful winner with more than 51 percent of the vote; recognition from the international community followed.
Nevertheless, the damage was done, with the crisis triggering a 12% drop in GDP.
A fresh start
To his credit, Ravalomanana, a former businessman, initiated economic reforms, cut taxes and allowed the sale of land for the first time since independence. As a result, the economy grew an impressive 9.6% in 2003.
Part of the economic reforms included changes to the mining code, sponsored by the World Bank. These changes included reduced income and dividend taxes, reduction or elimination of customs duties, a uniform licensing regime and rights to international arbitration of disputes.
The revised mining code should attract investment to this potentially rich, yet largely unexplored, island, host to numerous nickel, ilmenite, sapphires, rubies, diamonds, gold and bauxite targets.
One of the biggest and most advanced projects is Dynatec's [TSX: DY] Ambatovy nickel project, located 80 kilometres east of the capital. Dynatec acquired a 100% stake in the project in January from its partner, Phelps Dodge [NYSE: PD]
Ambatovy is currently pegged at 125 million tonnes of proven and probable reserves at 1.04% nickel and 0.099% cobalt using a 0.8% nickel cutoff grade. A feasibility study released in February determined an annual design capacity of 60,000 tonnes of LME Class 1 nickel, 5,600 tonnes of cobalt and 186,000 tonnes of ammonium sulphate over a 27-year mine life
The plan is for an open-pit mining operation and an ore preparation plant at the mine site, with the ore transported in a slurry through a 195 kilometre long pipeline to a pressure acid leach plant located near Toamasina. Capital costs are estimated at US$2.25 billion, including infrastructure improvements, producing an after-tax rate of return at up to 16.4%.
Dynatec is now on the hunt for a partner or partners to help defray the huge cost.
Right behind the Ambatovy project is work on two large ilmenite deposits.
Rio Tinto [LSE: RIO] has an 80/20 joint venture with the government to develop a US$350 million mine near Fort Dauphin on the southeast coast of the island. The project has generated strong opposition from environmental groups that say it will destroy the coastal forest and displace the surrounding communities. The company will decide whether to go ahead with the project by middle of this year.
Ticor Ltd. [ASE: TOR] is advancing its Toliara sands project, located in the southwestern part of the country. In January 2005, the company announced a reserve estimate for the Ranobe deposit of 465 million tonnes with a heavy mineral content grading 6.2%.
Further down the development scale are a number of companies with early-stage prospects.
Cline Mining [TSX-V: CMK], better known for its coal properties in British Columbia, owns the Bekisopa iron ore deposit in the south central part of the island. Previous exploration, including trenching and drilling, was carried out by the French government and the United Nations. The work indicates the deposit could approach 150 million tones of magnetite ore with low amounts of deleterious phosphorus and sulphur. Cline Mining is reviewing the data and plans to carry out a comprehensive work program to fully evaluate the deposit's potential.
Pan African Mining [TSX-V: PAF], which went public in July 2004, is exploring a number of properties for gold, uranium, diamonds and precious stones, base metals and industrial commodities. Diamond Fields International [TSX: DFI] is looking at early-stage diamond, nickel and platinum group metals (PGM) properties, while Jubilee Platinum [AIM: JLP] has found a large nickel deposit that will likely result in it spinning off its PGM properties. In October 2004, Majescor Resources [TSX-V: MAJ] struck a joint venture with De Beers to carry out diamond exploration in northern and central Madagascar.
Could all this mining activity be the beginning of a properly functioning economy, or will Madagascar's hopes be just another false dawn that has haunted sub-Saharan Africa since breaking its colonial yoke?
The hurdles are high. The country is very poor; life expectancy is below 60 years. Infrastructure, everything from energy to transportation, is sparse. Time will tell if title issues are worth more than the paper they are printed on. But the government is putting in place a framework to attract investment in the mining sector and it is working given the amount of capital being expended now on exploration and project development.

Natural Power
November 28, 2011
November 2011 - UK Leading international renewable energy consultancy group Natural Power has successfully won the Safety Excellence Award this month, awarded by E.ON Climate & Renewables at the utilities' Operational Safety Day. The award was open to all companies involved in day to day site management of E.ON's Wind Portfolio.
"We are delighted to have won this award as it recognises our ongoing commitment to site safety being our highest priority. Having previously been awarded E.ON Climate & Renewables UK Contractor of the Year we are honoured to receive this second award." Scott MacKenzie, Director of Asset Management
The judges' award criteria included dedication towards safety issues on a consistent basis. The Natural Power Asset Management team were viewed as providing particular excellence in this area.
"Natural Power has performed exceptionally well given the many problems encountered with new site take-overs, generator exchanges, switchgear issues and thefts" commented Tony McCormack, Onshore Wind Operations Manager at E.ON. "Despite this, they continue to provide consistently high standards in their approach to site safety."
Natural Power has been providing asset management services to independent power producers and utilities for over a decade and is currently involved in managing over 80 wind farms in the UK and Ireland. Services for E.ON are focussed on local site management, which encompasses all aspects of work control, facilities management and HSE, including management of the HV system. Natural Power's site managers work closely with E.ON's own engineers and control room to providing these services, all in line with E.ON's Wind Turbine Safety Rules.
Following the announcement, Scott MacKenzie, Director of Asset Management, commented: "We are delighted to have won this award as it recognises our ongoing commitment to site safety being our highest priority. We have a strong relationship with E.ON, and currently provide site management services on 9 UK sites. Having previously been awarded E.ON Climate & Renewables UK Contractor of the Year we are honoured to receive this second award."
Part of the prize won by Natural Power came with a £250 award from E.ON, which was matched by SKM Consulting and Natural Power to a total £750. This was donated to Great North Air Ambulance Service.

I was due May 1st but my due date came and went. The OB wanted to see me on the 4th to have a NST and an u/s to check my fluids around the baby. I still hadnt dilated past a fingertip at this point. At all of my appt's the 3 different MWs and the OB at my office all thought he was head down when they felt from the outside. And during my internals they all said they could feel his head. Well, at my U/S we found out he was breech! So there went my hopes of a natural birth. So we scheduled the c/s for the 7th.
On the 5th, I finally started to feel my first contractions. Went to L&D at 5-7 mins apart but they slowed down a little so we went home. The contractions continued from then on. On the morning of the 7th, I had my alarm set for 3:50 am to get up and ready for the c/s, but my water broke at about 3:40 am.
By the time we got to the hospital at 4:15 my contractions were every 2-3 mins apart. We went up and got hooked up to monitors and got my IV going. I was 2-3 cm. I got 2 shots of something to stop my contractions but it didnt work at all and either did the pain meds through the iv. They kept on coming. They came at 7 to take me to the OR and I was contracting every 1-2 mins and was 6 cm!
The spinal was sweet sweet relief. I was terrified for a c/s but in the end I am glad it happened that way. Maddox was born at 7:47 am- 8lbs 13 oz and 21.5 inches.

Decorating Tips
Find answers to your decorating questions in our "How to Library" of decorating tips and installation guides including lighting tips and country decorating tips to simplify your interior decorating project. Add warmth and style to your home by decorating with a primitive country theme your guests are sure to enjoy. First impressions are often lasting impressions so here are a couple of home décor tips for you; begin with the area around the entrance to your home. Porches are a great place to start, an antique rocker or Primitive Chair gives it a nice touch that invites your guest to sit and relax. Next for some rustic decorating tips add an old wood crate or keg as an accent piece that doubles as a plant stand. Finish it off with a hand painted welcome slate and be sure to include some Primitive seasonal decor as well.
As you step inside the door, try one of these primitive decorating tips; add a braided rug will help to warm that cold tile foyer floor. Next add a primitive piece of furniture such as a hall console, adorned with a candle or a Primitive Lamp for added warmth. Primitive country décor goes a long way in making your guest's feel welcome or putting them at ease.
Be creative as you implement your home decorating ideas, if you lack creativity check out a book at your local library on interior decorating tips or something more style specific like country home decorating tips. Not everybody enjoys pure country décor so find some materials on shabby chic decorating tips or cottage decorating tips, whatever suits your style. Then frequent yard sales, local flea markets and public auctions in search of hidden treasures to accent your particular decorating style.
Great decorative tips can be found in magazines like country sampler or country living. These resources are great starting points as you search for vintage decorating tips or décor tips in general. Each photo give you opportunity to recreate the idea pictured or makes an excellent springboard for something entirely different.
Country Decorating Tips with Kitchen & Living Room Lighting Tips
The kitchen is one of the easiest rooms in the house to give a warm country atmosphere; here are a few kitchen decorating tips to get you started. Place grandmas antique Hoosier cabinet along an open wall, dress it up with some berry garlands and a few pieces of agateware. Be sure to include a couple of old baking tins and some primitive kitchen utensils for good measure. Since we are thinking about decorating tips allow us to share a few kitchen lighting tips with you that drab ceiling light can easily be replaced with a small wood chandelier or an antique tin light from our primitive lighting collection. You can find sizing information in our how to library. One of the most overlooked lighting tips is to be sure to purchase enough of light, you can always back it off with a dimmer switch.
As your friends sit in your gathering room and observe the warm Country atmosphere you have created by placing a hand sewn quilt over the back of an old chair or the antique sewing machine sitting in the corner with a piece of old homespun draped across it they will feel at home. Removing that cold uninviting TV stand and replacing it with a primitive handcrafted Entertainment Center finished in a 2 tone antique finish will add a touch of class without destroying your country atmosphere. Accent you family heirlooms by adding a garland or two along with a beautiful piece of pottery or decorative plate.
Last but not least we share these living room lighting tips with you, chandelier tips in general really.
- For rooms 10' x 10' and smaller use a 17"-20" diameter chandelier.
- For rooms 12' x 12' use a 26"–27" diameter chandelier.
- For rooms 14' x 14' use a 24"-36" diameter chandelier.
When hanging a chandelier over a table it is best if it is 12" narrower than the width of the table. Hang it a minimum of 30" from the surface of the table to the bottom of the chandelier. This will provide for the best illumination and keep it out of the way.
