By April 26, 1861, ten companies had been accepted into the regiment: five from Boston, one from North Bridgewater, one from Abington, one from Weymouth, one from Stoughton, and one from Gloucester. After organization was completed, the regiment was ordered to Fort Warren in Boston Harbor. Three months later it was sent to Harper's Ferry, Virginia, where it guarded the upper Potomac as part of Bank's division.
The Massachusetts Volunteer Militia Record (April 20-May 9, 1861) consists of a volume of material pertaining to the formation and organization of the 12th Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, organized and commanded by Fletcher Webster, the son of Daniel Webster.
Items of interest include lists of organizing committees, recruiting reports, commissary records, lists of prospective companies, lists of contributions, and outlines of lessons on marching and drill that were to be taught to the soldiers. Throughout the collection a great sense of patriotic duty to the Union is exhibited. This is evident in a sermon delivered to the soldiers by the regimental chaplain, in a letter sent to the regiment by the mother of one of the soldiers, and in a letter sent to Webster from John Clark. Of particular interest is a clipping from the Massachusetts Register which describes the activities of the regiment from April to July 1861. Also of interest is a letter from Henry Wilson, Senator from Massachusetts, to Abraham Lincoln urging him to accept the 12th Regiment as one of the six regiments from Massachusetts. There is no information in the collection as to the activities of the 12th Regiment after July 7, 1861.

Ahhh I love axolotls! They are kind of popular here, in fact my co worker got one two weeks ago and wants to bring him to live at the office. His name is Axel...
(original, we know) Maybe they aren't really endangered and just all decided to move to Australia? Ugggghhhh spiders are just too much to handle!! Even the thickest glass isn't enough for me to get close to them! They are furry and evil and very upsetting! Even after reading Charlottes Web I will never be on their side! Just talking about them this much is making me want to throw my laptop on the ground and stomp on it.

I know... I couldn't believe they were real when I saw them. They are too adorable and different. Parseltongue swag. I've gotten better with tiny ones, I think. Like I'll still lose it if one is on me, but I can function in the vicinity of one as long as it's not hanging above me. Shudder. Quote:
I agree. They are LITERALLY too much to handle. I do not want to handle one. Ever. Seriously though. Hi! Great to have you on board! Thanks for reading Quote:
You should definitely check out the Planet Watch. I'm so happy I finally did. It was awesome and I can't wait to go back and explore further! LIKE OMG is right. I just love those yittle guys!!!

You are so amazing with your love and appreciation of creatures! I love it.
Axolotls are so interesting! I've never heard of them either. They are adorable. Let's hope Flotsam & Jetson breed! Those babies are mindblowing wonderful! AWESOME! Disney cracks me up. You go to AK and it's not only animals on display! Humans too! I don't know if I could work with people watching me! I would feel the need to wave every time or something. Or keep looking to see who was staring at me! Oh man! I can't handle snakes. They freak me out soooo much. It's the way they move. AHHHHH. No thank you. Oh my goodness. I cannot handle spiders either. Ew. I hate seeing one because then for the rest of the days I have the heebie jeebies and get all paranoid so gross. It was so awful when I lived alone and had no one to get rid of spiders for me. That was a rough year. I'm sure if there had been video of what happened whenever a spider was spotted, it would go viral on Youtube for pure hilarity. (Lots of jumping and screaming and throwing things and "chemical warfare". And then vacuuming...because I will not touch!)

OMG Rafiki's! I've never been over there either! That train looks awesome. I've always had a strange love for unconventional seating arrangements...
I am a strange creature as well, but I literally can't look at Jets and Flots JR! They scare meeeeee. I don't know why but fish that aren't normal fish just terrify me. (Fish that are normal fish terrify me as well though.) AH NO SPIDERS NO NO NO. Remind me to never come in contact with a tarantula! ACK.

Awww, those axolotls are so cute, in a weird way! The babies are adorable! They look like a cartoon! I don't spend enough time at Rafiki's Planet Watch, I don't spend enough time at Animal Kingdom period. But in a way, that's kind of good, because that leaves more new stuff for me to explore!
Ugh...I can't stand snakes, I'm so afraid of them! I'm not a big fan of spiders either, but I'm not terrified of them, the way I'm terrified of bees! But still, I would't exactly seek one out...they're just gross. I'd rather just see cute, fluffy things at Animal Kingdom, give me my giraffes and tigers over snakes and spiders any day! And the axolotls, of course!

I've never been to Rafiki's Planet Watch either. I don't really know why. Maybe a subliminal fear of a mandrill jumping out of nowhere and hitting me over the head with a stick?
Has anyone pointed out that the axolotls are doing Kristen and Jess' deer face? Because they totally are. I think we should propose an animated movie about a group of these little-known, ridiculous sea creatures (starring the frogfish, of course) to Disney. The fish in Finding Nemo were so ~mainstream.

You know my life is insane when I don't read a Lia update for an entire WEEK. Something is just not right about that!!
Awww the Axolots are SO CUTE. Especially the babies! AHHH I want to adopt one!!! Ahh I'm glad to see you named our Frogfish friend Paul. It seems fitting. Good job I love how your trip report can make me want to go to a place that I usually overlook when I go to Disney. Seriously. Now I want to go to Rafiki's planet watch so bad.

Just got back from the most wonderful stay at the Wilderness Lodge and every time I heard the Livin it up song or saw Stacey you and this trip report instantly popped into my head! Haha. We had an amazing 8 day trip with few crowds, a little rain and lots of fun.
Now we can all be on the countdown for your big trip! |
well, all that's left now is the happy ending.

HI EVERYONE!!! I'm so sorry I haven't been on here responding to your comments or posting new updates, but I have had a ton of computer issues lately (in addition to major life issues. Guys, you have no idea how much I need my upcoming Disney trip. I'd go insane without it, no question.) but I'm on my new laptop now so hopefully it won't explode or something. OUR TRIP IS JUST OVER A MONTH AWAY!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T STAND THE WAIT ANY LONGER!!!!!!!! It's starting to feel more real, and I just freak out every time I think about it (which is approx. 82329398 times a day). I'm so busy, I'm so frustrated, life is just not going well but at least I will be in my happy place soon!!!! Just thinking about it gives me chills and often brings a tear to my eye. If I can just...hang on... a bit longer.... !!!!!!!! Whew. Ok. Onto the replies.
Ahh I really hope they breed too! If they have babies when I go next month I will FREAK! I agree, that would definitely be an odd feeling of being watched by guests while working. And what about the vets who have to perform the procedures while people watch through the glass! Like that isn't nerve wracking enough! The way snakes move does skeeve me out but I think the way spiders move is so much more horrific. I don't know what I'm going to do when I live alone. I'm going to have to make friends with a few neighbors so I can call them when I need a spider disposal, because I can hardly even be in the same room as one without panicking. Quote:
They scare you? But they're so adorable! And harmless, as far as I know. Oh come on... you know you wanna pet one. Quote:
You should totally explore Animal Kingdom more. There is so much to discover! I'm not really TERRIFIED of bees... unless they were in a pack. A couple of bees is fine, I mean it's not like I want to get stung, but I accept them as a part of the environment. Whereas with spiders, I'm just convinced even the smallest, singular spider is on a mission to attack me. LOL. Quote:
I didn't realize but yes, of course they are. The deer face is going to take over Disney World, I'm tellin' ya. LOL yeah, we are so doing Hipster Nemo. Now that you've got it in my head, the possibilities are too endless... Quote:
I want to adopt one too! Haha, the name came from the update in which I called the less popular Frogfish in the tank Ringo. Which would make Our Frogfish Friend Paul, of course. I don't know. I'm a nerd. That's a great compliment! Yeah, you definitely have to check it out. You would love it because like me, you appreciate the whole of Disney, not just the most popular stuff. I'm sure you'd have a great time there. I can't wait to go back! Hi! !!! Thanks for joining us! Quote:
Glad to hear you had an amazing trip. Thanks for following along with mine!

Day 7, Part 6 In Which We Eat 65 Billion Years Ago
It was nearing park closing time, so we really didn't get to explore every crevasse of Planet Watch like we wanted to. Ah well, that just leaves more exploration for next time. It was awesome finally visiting this attraction. Disney's "road less traveled" attractions are always something I walk away from thinking, "Why don't we do this more often?" My mom feels the same way. We can't wait to go back! As we walked out of the building, it was coming down pretty hard outside. We were forced to rush past the adorable monkeys and over to the Wildlife Express Train Station. On the way back to Africa, it started monsooning outside. When we got there, I expected bizarre sea monster looking things to float by me like in the movie Jumanji. It was just that bad. Everyone who had been on the train just hung out even though the park was closing. I didn't really mind. If you have to be stuck somewhere, Animal Kingdom isn't a bad place for that to happen. I thought it was kinda cool actually. We were in the back of Africa, it was pouring and starting to get dark. No one was around except those of us who had been on the train and the CMs. It was creepy... in a good way! The CMs were super nice and said we could all wait out the rain in the station even though the park was technically closed and we should have been, you know, leaving. After about 20 minutes, it slowed down and we started to head out. There was an odd calm about the place after the storm passed. It was quite nice. I wish we could have stayed. I looove being here at night. It is so peaceful! I wish they'd do evening EMH more often. When we got to do that on our 2010 trip, it was so awesome to experience a near-empty, near-dark AK! This time, we had to head right out of the park, but I wish we could have explored more. My favorite Christmas tree <3 We went back to Pop Century to change out of our wet clothing and then we were off to dinner! I originally planned on us eating at Paradiso 37 that night, but for some reason, we didn't feel like doing that at the time. Often, despite my obsessive overplanning, we just end up doing whatever we feel like in the moment. So I called to cancel, and I don't know why really, but we settled on T-Rex. Sidenote: I'm pretty bummed about the new policy of charging $10 for canceling some restaurant reservations on the same day. Sorry, but that's a rip off. I really want to stick to our schedule very well on our October trip though (since my friend Lee-Anne hasn't been to Disney since around '96, there is a LOT of ground to cover... and it will just be easier to accomplish if we stick to the plan), so it probably won't affect us. However, my mom and I like having the freedom to do whatever on our trips, and it's just annoying. Gah. Anywho...back to that night leaving Animal Kingdom. I was interested in trying T-Rex just because I love Rainforest Cafe and I knew it was owned by the same company. Plus, there are dinosaurs inside. So. When I suggested it to my mom, she was totally in. Instead of calling Disney Dining, I called T-Rex directly on the way to Downtown Disney to ask what the wait time for 2 people was and she said there was no wait at all. It's so funny, I've heard so many times how busy this place always is, but I swear, nothing is busy in early December at Disney except the Christmas events. It's just an amazing time to visit. When we arrived, they asked if we'd like to sit at the bar. I had always wanted to sit in the Ice Age Room (it changes color, HELLOOO!!), but we said yes to sitting at the bar because it looked awesome. I mean, there was an octopus hanging over this bar. I don't know about where you live, but we don't have octupusses ANYWHERE NEAR our bars here. Especially giant ones. View from our seats. I was pretty impressed with the menu because of the MANY different choices. Everything sounded so delicious and there were a lot of things I wanted. I was dying for steak though, so I ended up getting the filet, as did my mom. It was so epicly delicious that I was way into eating it before I manged to take a pic... Triceratop Filet - Charbroiled center cut aged tenderloin filet, topped with a stack of butter and served with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. OMG THIS WAS SO FREAKING GOOD. My mom and I were devouring it. It ended up being one of those epic meals where you're SO hungry and tired and ready to eat and what you order just hits the spot so PERFECTLY. The steak was juicy and tender and the spices on it were AMAZING. Seriously, the flavor on this steak was some of the best I've ever had, and I have had a lot of good steaks. The mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious as well. And listen, I don't eat vegetables at Disney World but these were unbelievable! I LOVED them! They had the same seasonings as the steak and were cooked perfectly so that they had the right amount of crunch in them and I was in heaven. We both ate EVERYTHING off our plates. T-Rex got 2 VERY enthusiastic thumbs up from us! It's such a fun and different atmosphere and we absolutely loved our food. Try it! Up next: More EMHing but with less sleeping in Disney.

It's Puppy time!
Ready for more tail wagging wildness, canine cuteness and animal athleticism than ever witnessed before? Say YES!
On Super Bowl Sunday, February 5, from 3-5 PM (ET/PT), Animal Planets annual canine competition returns to the grand gridiron with Puppy Bowl VIII.
For the eighth year in a row, with the help of Petfinder.com, Animal Planet has searched shelters and rescue groups across the nation for the toughest pups ever to carry a chew toy into an end zone and across the goal line. Now, the teams have been selected, paws polished and fur combed for the biggest event in animal sports history.From Animal Planet
This years starting lineup is growling with rowdy rat terriers, defensive dachshunds and charging Chihuahuas, all competing for the title of MVP (Most Valuable Puppy). But the pups will have to warm up to a new face as Puppy Bowl VIII marks the debut of Dan Schachner, who takes over as The Ref calling all the plays and penalties on the field.
When Animal Planet first called and told me that I would be working with 58 puppies, 20 cats, five pigs and one bird, I thought this would be the easiest gig of my career, says Dan. But after calling my first terrier touchdown, I can see why this is the toughest competition in sports today.
In a game-day first, a piggy pep squad will ham it up on the sidelines and squeal with delight for its favorite players while Meep the Bird tweets all the fast-paced action. Follow @MeepTheBird on game day for the latest updates, puppy drama and behind-the-scenes moments from inside Animal Planet Stadium. Award-winning animal advocate and television correspondent Jill Rappaport will provide up-to-the-minute sideline analysis and commentary on the game, and fans will be treated to Puppy Bowl favorites such as the puppy cam, water bowl cam, kiss cam and an aerial view of the field provided by the Ice Breakers® Mints blimp and its hamster pilots.
If youre not the biggest Madonna fan, the cute and cuddly kittens have returned with an all-new edition of the Bissell® Kitty Half-Time Show. These adorable felines will treat fans to kitty gymnastics, precious poses and overall kitten craziness leading up to the confetti shower, sending viewers into cuteness overload.
All of the animals featured in Puppy Bowl VIII come from rescues and shelters across the United States. This years starting lineup includes puppies from spcaLA (California), All Star Pet Rescue (New Jersey), Go Boxer Rescue (Ohio), Pet Matchmaker Rescue (Pennsylvania), Furever Dachshund Rescue (Rhode Island) and Huts for Mutts Dog Rescue (Texas). Viewers who are interested in adopting a pet in their area can visit Petfinder.
To learn more about Puppy Bowl VIII, fans can visit AnimalPlanet.com for highlights and behind-the-scenes moments from past seasons and, later this month, a chance to vote for this years MVP (Most Valuable Puppy) and an eight-part web series highlighting the history of Puppy Bowls greatest moments.
Puppy Bowl VIII official sponsors include Pedigree® Food for Dogs, Bissell®, Ice Breakers® Mints and the all new Disneys Treasure Buddies and Subaru of America.
Puppy Bowl VIII and the Bissell® Kitty Half-Time Show are produced by Discovery Studios. Bill Gardner is the executive producer for Discovery Studios. Melinda Toporoff is the executive producer for Animal Planet.

A developer asks for approval to build condominiums, the county grants it, and then the developer quietly asks that his project be rezoned as apartments.
Public outcry recently forced the Board of Supervisors to reject such a substitution in favor of apartments along Lakeridge Parkway. Now an identical substitution has once again cleared the Planning Commission and is speeding its way to final passage: A proposal to rezone what had been approved as 112 condominiums into a 172-apartment complex at the intersection of Atlee Station and Kings Acre roads.
The government of Hanover County does not seem to understand the message homeowners just sent: They do not want more apartments. They do not want them here or there. They do not want them anywhere. Not with a fox. Not in a box. Not with a mouse. Not instead of a house.
And most especially, not instead of 112 condominiums at the border of the Chickahominy and Ashland districts.
Defending his position as only one of two supervisors who voted in favor of apartments at Lakeridge, Ed Via of Ashland was vocal in his disregard of widespread popular opposition to the plan. His belief in his better judgment is noted, as is the expectation that he will decide that residents of Kings Charter have no legitimate basis for objecting to a second apartment complex only three blocks from the existing one on Kings Charter Drive.
In contrast, Chickahominy supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek was one of five who listened to the anger from homeowners and blocked approval of the Lakeridge rezoning. If she intends to do otherwise now that the development is slated for her district, she owes everyone an explanation as to why a bad idea in South Anna is suddenly a good one in Chickahominy.
Hanover County is rapidly gaining a reputation for having the best government that developers can buy. Let us hope that, in this instance, the Board of Supervisors fails to live up to it.

I've noticed some tiny black winged insects hopping around on the surface of the soil of my plant. From what I've been able to find out through reading these are probably fungus gnats. Can anyone recommend an effective way to stop the larvae from hatching (preferably organic)?
Also my plant seems to be rotting and decaying along the edges of the leaves in the "cup" area. I've read this can be a result of keeping water in the cup, but I am confused because it seems one camp of people advising keeping water in the cup and another says it is not a good idea. Would it be worth trying an alternative for awhile, like misting once a week rather than keeping water in the cup? Or is there some other way I might treat this problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

Hi sevrel, Although I'm not an expert in these matters, I have a couple of suggestions for you to consider. Is it standing in a saucer where it always has contact with water? If this is the case then it probably has 'wet feet' which will possibley lead to rot. Has it possibly been exposed to CCA treated wood? i.e. drips from overhead CCA treated timber beams, leaves touching a CCA treated wood product or perhaps a mulch of wood shavings or chips from CCA treated wood. Is it or has it been in contact with any other copper products (copper is very bad for broms) Have you sprayed it with a fungicide containing copper? If so it will have a similar effect, unless the copper component of the spray is very low. Has it been over fertilized? Sometimes this can manifest itself with leaf dieback. I can't think of anything else at the moment but these are all things to consider, but it would be easier for the experts on this site to help if you posted a picture of the plant in question. All the best, Nev. |

Film soup experiment -redscale-
After shooting a film, take it into a dark room and open the film. Then sprinkle hot water filled with neutral detergent all around on the film, with flicking my fingers. Rewind it and put into a pan and pour water, and boiled it for about 5 minutes. Rinse and dry, and cross-deveop it. Done!

Margie Plus: Holiday Party
Tis the season for holiday parties. Like most women I love dressing up, but finding something not old lady-ish can be an epic task when you're plus size.
Thankfully, many plus size stores have begun some amazingly chic holiday party options for us to try out. Right now I have three looks that I cant wait to play with at upcoming events. Look one is a sequin blazer with a pair of sleek leather leggings. Look two is a glitzy beaded or skirt with a satin or blouse and statement necklace. Last but not least, my third holiday look to try is a glitzed-up black dress with a killer pair of heels. Tip: For more fashion-y look, dress up your heels with a pair of sheer ankle socks like I did. And don't forget the dazzling clutch!

The Future of 3D Home Entertainment
3D is a fantastic tool when done correctly and you do expect all the major brands in the world to have already begun filming 3D advertisements for Television and the Cinema such as car adverts for buy vimax pills, which we think is justified.
But we are ashamed of the major AllJapanesePass Videos that would turn a movie that has no right to be 3D into a Streamate 3D movie in order to purely make more money at the box office. The Idols 69 glasses are uncomfortable at best, as they steam up during the screening and just damage the film watching experience, although the technology used with the new Nintento 3DS will be very interesting, which we are yet to have a peak at. Toy Story 3 and The Green Hornet are just two films amongst the mass who shamelessly profiteer from this racket, unless as a viewer you ingest a batch of LSD which will then not require you to wear glasses at all, but we would not recommend that. Whereas films such as all Robert Zemeckis Films and Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton are fully justifiable who may I add is the modern day Pablo Picasso due to his visionary site. Also ask yourself the question, why was Inception not in 3D? Was James Cameron too eager with Avatar?
Coming back to the future, we are wondering how many years it will take until Minority Report style hologram projections will become a reality and also be affordable for to have this technology. The organisations who develop or introduce this technology will no doubt become multi billionaires overnight, but most likely this tech is already available but all the companies are waiting for the market to consume 3D before 3D Hologram is introduced.
How about this theory? If you use a minimum of four camera's to film a Anal Nippon show from four different angles and then project all BigTitsTokyo angles using four projectors into the centre of the room then is this not a possibility? Obviously you need the projectors to project onto this, but with advancements in technology there is a possibility that using laser, air particles and with the correct Bound Gang Bangs conditions the projection may be visible to the naked human eye.
Don't get us wrong we are sure that there is a lot more to it than that, for instance joining all four angle seamlessly, FuckingMachines.com offer and countless amounts of research, but just imagine that movies and home entertainment will no longer be in the corner of the room or mounted on a flat HogTied TV, instead it will be visible from all angles in the centre of the room or wherever you want it to be. It can be presented life size without deterioration of quality, and you can walk around the 3D image so that all you guys out there can see Angelina Jolie or all you girls out there can see Brad Pitt life size and from possibly all Bound Gods angles which will possibly be the demise for Madam Tussauds...sorry. Just imagine the educational value of such DeviceBondage technology as demonstrated in Iron Man
Don't worry we are sure you are right and thinking that these Divine Bitches have lost their minds and have no clue regarding how this is practically possible. We don't think 3D was ever a revolution as it dates back to 1915, instead with all the EverythingButt technology available 3D Hologram Home Entertainment is just around the corner and this will truly blow your minds.
Does this mean that 3D TV has become the future of FreeHardcore entertainment and that a vision of this future is now upon us? The reply to this question is a definite "Yes." With more and more television and electronic manufacturers unveiling their KinkOnDemand offerings since the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, we can really now say that the future of MenInPain entertainment is making a good headway.
Not A New Concept
It is not like the idea of 3D TV is a new concept, anyhow. Any member of the PublicDisgrace engineering and design team or ETD of any television manufacturer can tell you that the idea for 3D TV has been around since the 1950s. It just did not catch on as quickly with the NakedKombat public as stereo and surround sound did.
But thanks to "Avatar" and similar 3D movies released in recent years, the concept is swiftly catching on. Many SexAndSubmission consumers all over the world are becoming interested in duplicating TheTrainingOfO movie theater experience right in their own living rooms and home theaters. Television manufacturers are busy fueling that interest by offering their current versions of TheUpperFloor television system.
That is not to say that the 3D television concept does not have its share of naysayers. Just as watching TsSeduction on 3D TV is slowly gaining a dedicated fan base worldwide, so are those that think that this UltimateSurrender trend is nothing more than just a profit-making fad started by television manufacturers. Still, 3D TV is part of the future of WaterBondage entertainment and no one can deny that the future is happening now. The Livejasmin.cc evolution of the television has indeed forever changed the outlook on modern day WhippedAss entertainment. With it, we are once again seeing our living rooms as a haven where fun and entertainment lives. High definition and plasma televisions, next generation gaming, and quality Jasminlive entertainment centers are the future of WiredPussy shows. This is home entertainment for the 21st century!

A conviction for criminal sexual conduct — or even charges — can have a devastating effect on your life. In addition to facing severe criminal consequences such as prison time you may be labeled a "sex offender" or "sexual predator," ruining your personal reputation and making it difficult — if not impossible — to remain an active member of the community. Minnesota refers to such offenders as "predatory offenders," but also shares information on Criminal Sexual Conduct convictions with sex offender registries in other states and federally.
If you are facing charges of criminal sexual conduct, it is crucial to seek out legal assistance from a skilled, effective defense attorney who can handle your case with the appropriate amount of discretion.
To improve your chances of achieving the best possible outcome, it is important to speak to an attorney as soon as possible. Call 612-340-9108 for a free initial consultation with the Law Offices of William J. Mauzy.
Minneapolis Lawyer for Sexual Misconduct Allegations
Criminal sexual conduct is a term that describes a broad range of sexually-based offenses under Minnesota law, ranging in severity from first degree to fifth degree. The Law Offices of William J. Mauzy defends clients who have been accused of a broad range of sexual offenses, including:
- Sex coercion
- Therapeutic deception
- Clergy, clerical or psychotherapist misconduct
- Statutory rape
Other alleged offenses that could be charged under criminal sexual conduct include possession of pornography, soliciting prostitution, promoting prostitution, and indecent exposure.
Acting Quickly Is in Your Best Interest
Whether a misdemeanor or felony, all criminal sexual conduct charges need to be taken seriously. As soon as you are arrested, charged or believe you are being investigated, it is important to seek legal representation from an attorney with the knowledge and skill necessary to handle your case.
To arrange a free initial consultation with a Minnesota criminal sexual conduct defense lawyer, contact the Law Offices of William J. Mauzy.

No postponement yet in light of tragedy Brad Biggs
The murder-suicide involving a Kansas City Chiefs player this morning has not postponed Sunday's game with the Carolina Panthers at Arrowhead Stadium.
Not yet anyway.
Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer reports that interim Panthers general manager Brandon Beane said the NFL advised the club to travel to Kansas City as planned. The Panthers are schedule to depart at 1:15 EST, or in a little less than 90 minutes.
That doesn't mean the game, scheduled for 1 p.m. EST, will not be pushed back. It's possible it is moved to Monday night because of the tragedy involving the 25-year-old player. But no postponement has been made yet and at this point the Panthers are still scheduled to depart soon.

And we've got one.
[Did you miss the beginning of this story? It's over here…]
I'm not sure if you knew this, but I've been Knitty's graphic designer since we began. Everything about the visual look of the magazine is in my job description, and I love the graphic part of working on Knitty just a little too much. When I'm stressed, I design stuff for the Knittyshop. It calms me. I'm weird, aren't I?
Anyway, I worked hard on a logo for this big occasion, and came up absolutely empty. It was too important to me. I was dry. So I put out a call on Twitter, and a lot of really great designers came forward. One really stood out, though, as the most Knitty-esque, and I was very glad when she agreed to work with us! You'll see why when I show you the result of our collaboration:
This is the work of Cynthia of Green Couch Designs. I think it's whimsical but stately. Is that possible? Yes. I say so.
This logo feels a lot like us. Â Cynthia was wonderful to work with, and I would recommend her without question to anyone looking for a designer. She has none of that pretentious ego that some designers I've met [in my past life…it's none of you, don't worry] can bring to a project. She simply gave me a lot of options, and was great fun to work with. And fast. Okay, enough of that.
This logo will be used throughout the 2012-2013 publication year, and yes, we'll be putting up a special Cafepress shop with Anniversary merch for those who like shwag like we do. We'll let you know with a blog post when it's ready for y'all to browse.
Cynthia designed this logo to work the way I like to — the current seaside blue can be swapped out for any color we want. Here are a few examples of what we could do, edited to fix my error — I had the 10 in the contrast color, not black as it was supposed to be. Blame me, not the designer!Â
So, tell us. What do you think? Do you like the logo? What color would you like to see it in?

This book will instruct you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high school. Two veteran home educators outline the classical pattern of education "the trivium" which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind: the elementary school "grammar stage," the middle school "logic stage," and the high school "rhetoric stage." Using the trivium as your model, you'll be able to instruct your child in all levels of reading, writing, history, geography, mathematics, science, foreign languages, rhetoric, logic, art, and music, regardless of your own aptitude in those subjects. Newly revised and updated, The Well-Trained Mind includes detailed book lists with complete ordering information; up-to-date listings of resources, publications, and Internet links; and useful contacts. An excellent resource for any family with a desire to incorporate a classical education in their home, whether as a curriculum or as a reference. ( Educational Freedom Press )
The author contends that an academically rigorous education is possible within the family.

I mean windows, not the environment.
Yes, I do care about the latter very much, support non-profits working to protect it, and do everything I can myself, including composting, buying organic, etc. :-) And yes, I know that PVC manufacturing is not the best thing for it. But that aside, I want to know about PVC performance. We went to a showroom this morning and looked at sevreal different products. Neither of us liked the looks of vinyl but the PVC windows looked just fine. Right now, I am not looking to save money as much as finding a window that is less likely to rot in 20 years. I like the looks of aluminum cladded wood but I am concerned about moisture getting behind the clad, as one of the expert PPs explained on another thread (about PT wood). The PVC windows were Winsor Legend. The installer (highly recommended by my ID) who had already been to our house to measure the windows, said they'd fit right into our openings (we have wood windows with 4 9/16 jambs right now). They also carry Lincoln and some other brands but he has chosen Winsor Legend for us. Are these windows any good? The quoted ratings (with LoE II 240 glass) are as follows: U-value=0.29, SHGC=0.16, CR=0.56, AL=0.22, VT 0.25. If I am reading the website correctly, DP=30 (it was not on the quote). Except for VT, everything looks OK to me. Does it to you? And I am not sure whether low VT is bad in this very sunny climate. However, another "window guy" was adamant about PVC being a low performer and the possibility of it warping in 5 years. Who is telling me the truth? HELP please!

1) Where is your location? If anything less than Texas, Fla, AZ, etc, that SHGC is way to low. 2)The Air leakage rating is also pretty embarrassing (although not far off from many wood and fiberglass choices). 3) There is nothing inherently wrong with cellular PVC at all, this just does not appear to be a great product- nor do the other options that you are mentioning. 4) Windsor and Lincoln are both most well known for their builder grade wood windows circa 1980's-90's that were really poor. What vinyl windows did you look at? Cheap vinyl really gives a bad rap to the high quality choices, especially in appearance... You need to decide your priorities for the project. If the beauty of wood is paramount, the performance is going to suffer. If performance is very important, then I'd go back to some premium vinyl choices, or some higher quality composites like Starmark or Inline (fiberglass). You'll find the $$$ savings that you are looking for in vinyl as well. If you are going to go wood, I'd stick with the big boys: Marvin, Andersen, Kolbe, and possibly Pella's higher end models, just know that you are going to pay for it. |
Location means a lot as for Glass & Material choice. Cellular PVC is a great choice, but read the Mfg. warranty about type of paint & color, especially if you live in the Sunbelt States. Fiberglass would be my 1st. choice if it is in the budget. Most have a Fiberglass Brick-Mould or flat exterior casing available, 4-9/16" jambs, custom sizes, several exterior colors(or paint any color), Interiors in wood or fiberglass, Etc. Look at Marvin(1st. in sales), Milgard(great warranty), Weather Shield, Inline & others if available in your area. Cellular PVC should be less $ even after painting. Windsor Legend is ok, but look at Lincoln Innovation Collection(hybrid exterior) with Pine Interior. Lincoln & others make a wood window with vinyl clad exterior you might like. If you are in the Sunbelt go for the lowest#SHGC available, but, VT 0.25 is too dark for me. Good Luck ! |

Dogs wear 'pet me' vests at airport hoping to relieve your stress
As someone who never own a dog - Andrew Walsh thinks a new program being implemented at airports is a great idea.
2 of 6 |

Widespread public interest in getting local police more involved with federal immigration law should not become an unfunded mandate that usurps local control to focus on a problem that's not even a crime.
So we applaud Gov. Janet Napolitano's veto last week of House Bill 2807. It was an important and politically difficult stand that could be a pivotal moment of her administration.
Police and sheriff's deputies have little choice but to cope with immigration questions; it's an unpleasant fact of life that much of the public now connects illegal immigration to common criminal activity despite reliable evidence that foreigners are not more likely than native-born Americans to harm others.
But the exact responsibilities that police assume for immigration enforcement should be determined by each community based on the resources and expertise available.
Napolitano noted in her veto letter that the federal government only has a miniscule $5.5 million a year to provide immigration enforcement training for police nationwide. HB2807 required the state to pick up any unmet expenses, which Napolitano estimated at $100 million, but didn't actually set aside any funds to do so.
A unfunded mandate from above to satisfy popular whims likely would prompt some police agencies to cut corners, to trample on civil rights or to ignore other concerns that rightfully fall within their domain.
This is particularly troubling as residing in the United States without government permission is a violation of federal law but is not a crime. The only penalty is deportation, whereas a criminal violation entails at the least the possibility of a jail sentence.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio doesn't care, saying his illegal immigration sweeps — thinly disguised as "crime suppression" — address a serious problem. But Arapio actually has received state funding to underwrite his immigration enforcement efforts.
Meanwhile, we have to agree with Mesa Police Chief George Gascón when he asks why no one is demanding that his officers track down tax evaders, corrupt business CEOs and other legal violators that traditionally have been state or federal responsibilities.
HB2807 and even tougher measures being debated at the state Capitol would be an unavoidable distraction for East Valley police agencies just as they are starting to get a handle on violent crime rates and are taking their first serious steps toward using 21st century technology to match wits with the really bad guys and gals. Overreaching mandates likely would disrupt these successes and could hold back East Valley law enforcement for years to come.
We aren't suggesting that local police should turn a blind eye to illegal immigration, especially the violence and degradation connected to human smuggling and drop houses. But police officials should be offered the proper infrastructure and training to be more effective while working within the priorities set by community leaders and paid for by local residents.
Unless East Valley cities want to raise taxes, they would have to decide what police services to give up in return for broader immigration enforcement. Would there be fewer crime prevention and block watch programs? Would police have to postpone welfare checks and vacation patrols?
Unfunded state mandates would not be a helpful tool. They would be a barrier to quality police work. And they would set the stage for immigration issues to become even more divisive.

ASC Introduces Business Process Automation Solutions at Call Center World 2011
To support the definition, execution and tracking of business process, ASC Telecom will present its business process optimization (BPO) solutions at Call Center World 2011 at the Estrel Convention Center in Berlin, Germany, Feb. 21 to 24, at booth C2a, Hall 4.
ASC (News - Alert) Telecom is provider of innovative solutions to record, analyze and evaluate multimedia-based communications. ASC's solutions reveal information, enabling companies and organizations to considerably improve their value.
According to a press release, Call Center World 2011 is considered is an event for customer management and the call center industry, and will be attended by more than 7,500 visitors and 260 international exhibitors, suppliers and service providers from 10 countries. ASC, a sponsor of the event, will demonstrate how to expand the measurement and control of customer service into almost all corporate areas through BPO solutions encompassing communications recording, speech analytics, quality management, eLearning and workforce management.
In a statement, Bernd Engel, director of German Sales of ASC, said that contact center interactions represent "moments of truth" and an essential juncture between companies and their clients when all information comes together and BPO can structure and analyze the data they provide to reveal improvement potentials throughout contact center operations including processes, marketing, sales activities, time of reaction and problem analysis.
Engel went on to describe some functions of BPO. Speech analytics, a key component, can provide automatic categorization of calls for high-volume contact centers with an otherwise unmanageable number of conversations. Voice and screen recording, as well as quality monitoring, provide valuable input and analysis to improve agent performance. eLearning delivers customized training to each agent's desktop, creating a loop of continuous instruction. Workforce management can match the right quantity of employees with the right skills to the right job at the right time.

I used to love this when I was younger; but I guess as I age my skin become less oily thus doesn't benefit from this? Or, it could be simply because the new 'Apricot Scrub Blemish Fighting' is just not for me!
I have combination to oily skin, and it doesn't help that Singapore is humid all year round, plus the fact that I sleep with the AC on in the room, all the more my skin is dry from within.
I used to use 'invigorating' and it was pretty good, until I saw 'blemish fighting' and thought it would suit my combination skin, but apparently not. I scrub my face once every 2 days, because I cannot stand having whiteheads every few days when I have just extracted them. The salicylic acid could have been too much for my skin, and I will always have small patches of flaky skin around my nose (in which Vaseline helps, but it's another story altogether).
Another thing is, because this is placed on my shower rack, water tends to get collected within the cap (and it's not easily removed by opening/closing of the flap)! When I bring this overseas, I always gotta make sure that I overturn and slightly squeeze the tube just so that water can be removed thoroughly. It's so weird!
I have more than half a tube left, and decided to use it to scrub my pits instead. St Ives 'invigorating' scrub work, but not this 'blemish control' formula.

This used to be a Holy Grail product for me back in high school. I stopped using it for a long time and picked some up a few months back so I can start using it again. I don't know if it's been reformulated or something, but it made me break out really bad! In places I never had acne (side burn are, temples, and sides of my forehead). It's very harsh now. I'm going to try it for my feet. That will be it's only good use if it works out. I'm so glad I found a new HG worthy scrub!

I love, love, love this as an every-other-day post-cleansing scrub. It's not abrasive, smells yummy, and leaves my skin feeling baby smooth. It's great for keeping my acne at bay and for gently exfoliating. And for the quality, the price is hard to beat.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Black, Straight, Fine Eyes: Brown
Skin: Oily-combination (My forehead is dry in the morning and then its oily as the day goes on.)
Colour: N/A
Overview: An exfoliator with salicylic acid to help take away blackheads and blemishes.
Packaging: I have the newer package (the second picture at the top of the page). It is kind of appealing since it is bright, white and sleek looking. It is a squeeze tube, so it makes it really easy to take the product out.
Scent: Smells like a very floral apricot. Yup.
Texture: Creamy, with the exfoliating particles in it. All in all, gritty, just like all exfoliators.
On Skin: It is a little rough, so if little pressure is applied, it will feel just fine. It really feels like your dead skin cells are being taken away, as the little particles spread evenly around your face, as some exfoliators feel like the particles are not scrubbing evenly (parts of your face has more particles than the other)
Additional: My skin felt super soft after, and after rinsing, I did see some of my scabs softened and fell off gently without irritating the new skin underneath. I have been using this for a few months, and I cannot see any benefits under the "blackhead and blemish" control claim. It did not break me out, and was overall pretty good for its price.
Thank you for reading my review! Please tell me what I can add to make it better; it would be greatly appreciated. Have a nice day :D

For the price, this is an excellent scrub. I'm not sure about its blemish-reducing properties as I use a separate salicylic correcting lotion too, but it's the best budget range scrub I've used so far. The particles are not scratchy so there's no damage to the skin and it doesn't irritate my skin which can be sensitive to certain ingredients. A definite repeat-purchase!

Lightning prospect and rookie pro Charles Landry (pictured) had an assist in his ECHL debut, but Florida fell in Gwinnett 4-2. Landry was reassigned by Norfolk to Florida earlier this week. Pat Nagle sat backup to Billy Sauer in the game. Sauer stopped 33 of 37 shots in the loss. Alex Hutchings remains out with an upper-body injury. He hasn't played since November 12.

Admirals Reassign Landry to Everblades
Submitted by timothy on December 14, 2011 - 15:08TAMPA BAY, Fla. – The Tampa Bay Lightning, NHL parent club of the Norfolk Admirals, have reassigned defenseman Charles Landry from the Admirals to the ECHL's Florida Everblades, Admirals General Manager Julien BriseBois announced today.
Landry, 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, has appeared in 15 games for the Admirals this season, registering five assists, 17 penalty minutes and a plus-2 rating. The pro rookie also appeared in one game for the Admirals during the 2011 Calder Cup Playoffs.
Last season, the 20-year-old native of Napierville, Québec, appeared in 57 games with the Montreal Juniors of the Québec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), recording career bests with 11 goals and 40 points. He also registered a plus-26 rating. Landry led the team in goals by a defenseman, was third in points by a defenseman and was tied for third overall in plus/minus. He also posted one goal and three points in ten playoff games for the Juniors.
Concurrent with Landry's reassignment to the Everblades, the Admirals announced that they had signed defenseman Jean-Philippe Côté to a standard AHL contract. Côté was signed to tryout agreement on November 18. The Lightning also reassigned blueline prospect Evan Oberg from Tampa to the Admirals squad.

Elmira took game three of their three-game set with Florida to win the series 2-1. The 'Blades scored first, then watched as the Jackals scored four straight goals before Florida scored with under two minutes to go to give the game its final score. At least it was Teddy Bear Toss night in southwest Florida so there was some good to come out of the game. Nagle has alternated wins and losses in his last six matches.

Season Totals: 14 GP, 7-6-0, 3.20 GAA, .890 sv%, 1 SO
A snowman in southwest Florida! Nagle bounced back from a poor outing Wednesday with a solid 28 saves Friday in a big Everblades win over Elmira. The Everblades' eight goals were a season high. Matt Beca (pictured), the former Clarkston star, had a goal and four assists for Florida. Carolina draft pick Justin Shugg, who was just sent down to the 'Blades, contributed two assists. This game got a little chippy, which should mean the third game of a three game series set for Saturday night will be a good one. Alex Hutchings remains out with an undisclosed injury.

G Pat Nagle, FLA: Loss, 14 saves on 19 shots
Season Totals: 13 GP, 6-6-0, 3.29 GAA, .886 sv%, 1 SO
With regular No.1 goaltender John Muse called up to Charlotte of the AHL, Florida needed Lightning prospect Pat Nagle to stand tall, but the first year pro had a rough night Wednesday in a home loss to Elmira. Nagle stopped just 14 of 19 shots as Elmira overcame a 3-2 second period deficit to win. He nearly had his second assist in a week when he started a play that ended up in the Everblades' first goal, but unfortunately for him they don't award three assists on each goal.
Former Buffalo Sabres captain Craig Rivet scored his first goal of the season for the Jackals. In a blast from the Lightning's past, defenseman Mario Laroque – the Lightning's first round pick in 1996 – had a goal and two assists for Elmira. He spent last year in the Central Hockey League with the Evansville IceMen.
Lightning GM Phil Esposito took Laroque (pictured) 16th overall in the summer of 1996. He made his NHL debut two years later, playing in five games for the Bolts. He would never see NHL ice again and was out of the organization a few years later. He's bounced around North America and played a couple years overseas since then. His most successful statistical year was for UHL Fort Wayne in 2006-2007 when he had 67 points (27 goals) in 76 games. Laroque was the first defenseman taken by the Lightning in the first round since they took Roman Hamrlik with the first overall pick in their first draft (1992).

1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 pound ground beef
1 1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 (10.75 ounce) cans tomato soup
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 pinch Italian seasoning, or to taste
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
3 slices fat-free American cheese
This turned out great. Both my husband & I loved it. I tweaked it a little bit: left out the corn & the cheese & added just a little Worcester sauce & a little melted butter! Tasted great!!
I used shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses instead of American. Good for teens! Hearty, quick, and easy.

This turned out great! Exactly what I was looking for on this Saturday night with no supper plans. I used fresh onion,and my cheese was not fat free, but followed to a tee otherwise. Had a sweeter taste than goulash I've made before with tomato sauce/juice. Thanks for a great new recipe!
Changed up this recipe and subbed Johnsonville sausage for the hamburger, canned diced tomatoes for the tomato soup, and 1/2 cup shredded cheese for the sliced cheese.
Family loved it, did change it a little added 2 cans of chili beans had no corn, and used some chili powder.
I used tomato paste instead of soup because that's what I had. I also threw in two tablespoons of grey poupon because I love mustard:). Otherwise the same. My 6-year old liked it. Oh, I did use two different cheeses for adults and kids. Next time, I might skip the corn and serve it with a veggie instead.
Used only 1 can tomato soup, and a whole chopped onion (cooked with the beef). Really was good. Grated cheese on top instead of slices. My husband loved it - great as leftovers too.
Great for kids

Jackson-Pratt Drain(JP Drain)
Nathalie Smith, MSN RN DefinitionA Jackson-Pratt drain (or JP drain) is rubber tubing that may be placed after surgery. It may also be used with infections or injury that can cause a buildup of fluid. Reasons for Procedure TOPFluid that collects inside the body can increase the chance of infection or other complications. The JP drain allows fluids to move out of the body. The drain may be placed:
Possible Complications TOPComplications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. Your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
What to Expect TOPPrior to ProcedureLeading up to the procedure:
AnesthesiaGeneral anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery. Description of the Procedure TOPOnce you are under anesthesia, your doctor will make an incision in your skin. The end of the drain tubing will be placed into the area where fluid has collected. The other end of the tubing will be connected to the squeeze bulb outside of your body. The doctor will remove the stopper from the bulb, squeeze it to create suction inside the drain system, and replace the stopper. This suction will pull the unwanted fluid out of your body. The doctor will then close the skin over the drain. If you are having surgery, this JP drain will be inserted at the end of the operation. Immediately After Procedure TOPIf you are staying in the hospital, the nurses will care for and empty your drain. How Long Will It Take? TOP15-20 minutes to place the JP drain How Much Will It Hurt? TOPYou may have mild to moderate pain where the JP drain is placed. Your doctor will recommend or prescribe medication to help with the pain. Average Hospital Stay TOPThis procedure is done in a hospital setting. The length of stay depends on the type of surgery you are having. You may be able to go home the same day if the surgery is minor. Post-procedure Care TOPWhen you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Removal of a drain depends on how fast you heal from the surgery or injury. Your doctor may remove the drain when there is less than 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 milliliters) of fluid per day being drained. If you have more than one drain, they may not be removed at the same time. Call Your Doctor TOPAfter you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:

KPA's latest project, the Bloodborne Pathogens Quiz, helps dealerships and automotive service centers decide if a bloodborne pathogens program is right for their facility. The online self-assessment tool takes into account all federal regulatory compliance mandates, interpretations, and clarifications around employer responsibilities to provide bloodborne pathogen training for their employees.
At the end of the quiz, there is an immediate result. Participants either receive a printable certificate documenting that a program is not necessary, or they are directed to information about getting a bloodborn pathogens program.
The only limitation for this self-assessment tool is that it only takes into account federal guidelines, so dealerships and automotive service centers in states where state-level regulatory agencies act independently form OSHA may still need to consult occupational safety professionals, or research state guidelines about bloodborne pathogen programs.
