Y Ferch o Baris [La Parisienne]
RENOIR, Pierre-Auguste (1841 - 1919)
[delwedd: Y Ferch o Baris]
Dyddiad: 1874
Cyfrwng: olew ar gynfas
Maint: 163.2 x 108.3 cm
Derbyniwyd: 1952; Cymynrodd; Gwendoline Davies
Rhif Derbynoli: NMW A 2495
Casgliad: Casgliad y Chwiorydd Davies
Ym 1874 cynhwyswyd y darlun hwn yn yr Arddangosfa Argraffiadol gyntaf. Madame Henriette Henriot, a fu'n actio yn yr Odéon yn 1863-68, yw'r gwrthrych. Byddai Renoir yn aml yn ei defnyddio fel model. Drwy roi i'r darlun y teitl Y Ferch o Baris, mae'n awgrymu ei bod yn cynrychioli math o berson yn hytrach na pherson penodol. Meddai un o adolygwyr arddangosfa 1874: 'Prin y gellir gweld blaen ei hesgid uchel, sy'n ymwthio allan fel llygoden fach ddu. Mae ei het yn gwyro dros un glust ac mae'n fentrus o bowld...Ffug yw'r wân, ac mae'r wyneb yn gymysgedd o hen a phlentynnaidd. Ond mae yna rywbeth yn naîf ynddi. Cawn yr argraff fod y ferch yma'n ymdrechu'n galed i edrych yn barchus. Mae'r wisg, sydd wedi ei pheintio'n fendigedig, mewn glas o liw nefolaidd.' Arferai'r gwaith fod yng nghasgliad enwog Henri Rouart, a phrynwyd ef gan Gwendoline Davies ym 1913.

I was absolutely bowled over to see The Blue Lady when I was about 12. I was so amazed that there was no security and I stood in front of it and could have touched it. I am looking forward to taking my children and grandchildren to visit my old haunts in Cardiff next Easter and The Blue Lady will be top of our list.
Donna Henderson, 29 Mehefin 2014, 15:20
We are amazed at how this painting is the image of our 4 year old daughter Nadine, a few people have said it weird !!!!!
John, 22 Mehefin 2014, 20:08
Have been visiting the Blue Lady for 50 years. Never fails to take my breath away.
Winifred, 16 Mai 2014, 22:55
Whenever I visit the museum, I have to go and see this painting. It really blows me away every time I see it. I think it is very beautiful and has to be my favourite painting of all time.
Kathryn, 13 Chwefror 2014, 21:01
I grew up visiting the Museum with my father, and later loved to take my daughters there. We always paid the Parisian lady a visit. She feels like an old friend.
Maureen tadd, 24 Ionawr 2014, 11:15
I am fortunate being born in Cardiff and able to see this beautiful painting from a young child. I still see it often and it still has the ability to take my breath away .
Derek manning, 16 Awst 2013, 16:55
I visited the museum yesterday and could not believe what I saw. The Blue Lady is fantastic and dominates you with her beauty. I have seen her many times in my books of the impressionists but to see her in the flesh, so to speak, literally takes your breath away. The whole museum is fantastic
Gwendolyn, 14 Mehefin 2013, 21:15
I have always loved this picture from the moment I saw it as a young child and visited the picture. Now I a 44 year old I look forward just looking thinking about what she went through life to get to where she was at point in life when the picture was being done. The texture of the art, the ability to inspire life fashion and humanity in one picture is amazing. I live in Wales I feel so lucky to have this picture on my door step. I feel the blue lady helps me focus my brain from the busy life I lead. My husband likes to see this lady and says that she is the other lady in his life besides me. We have the blue lady poster in our house

I absolutely love this beautiful painting!
Also amazing thing about it: wherever you go in the room the lady's eyes follow you!

Whilst a young boy , my father left me to wander the museum while he went to a meeting. I climbed the stairs and entered the gallery and turned to my left and there she was, I was spellbound there was the girl from the postage stamp !I was 11 years old and an avid stamp collector . There was an assistant and I asked "Is it the real one ? " He smiled and nodded . I stayed there all afternoon , staring at the girl from the postage stamp !
Frank H Jolliffe, 6 Medi 2010, 10:18
I hope that this painting commands the staircase where I was spellbound many years ago by what to me is the centrepiece of your wonderful collection
Ellis Terrell,jr. (U.S.A.), 15 Ionawr 2010, 09:26
This work is awesome and typical, for an Impressionist painter of the genre time period. Renoir was a well-acclaimed Impressionist painter, that painted from his heart. He knew his subjects well, their interest, mood, and willingness, to sit during an artist session. The Impressionist painters; painted as if they were given still-cameras, to create their individual works of art. I can only imagine what the actual blue color, would look like, if this was taken with a camera.
ffion, 26 Hydref 2009, 09:24
this picture is very nice . The artist must of liked blue because in most of his pictures blue is in it.
Mae llun hon yn neis iawn . Y arlinwidd yn hoffi las achos maen wewn rhan fwy o ei lluniau.Gan ffion . 10 blwydd oed

So as soon as the meeting hit its end I hit the streets, on my way to the grocery store to buy the biggest steak it had for my counterpart (and my favorite, tuna steak, the pork chop of the sea, as I call it). My back was acting up and I was limping quite a bit, but still I hustled through the store on a serious mission. (I am convinced that the only time someone with such a pronounced limp ever moved that fast, it was the stride of someone named Igor and he was gyrating toward something much less innocent than an anniversary dinner. I was on fire, in a lopsided sort of way.)
Once home I got right to work preparing the meal. Asparagus! Brussel sprouts! Fancy salad, crusty bread, all the fixings, and it was coming along quite nicely.
As I puttered away in the kitchen (I love to cook, so this was part of my treat too), my husband Chris was fiddling with the stereo and having trouble putting on the music wed planned as a background to our fancy celebration. I told him we could just listen to the radio, and I turned the dial to a station that plays old John Doremus shows.
If youve never heard of Doremus, he was an American radio man in the 50s and 60s. Hes got that smooth old radio voice, and the rebroadcasted Patterns in Music are filled with anecdotes tucked between old instrumental songs from decades past.
The first time I heard him on the radio, I had no idea that it was an old show, and that I was listening to remarks and stories that were first told in the 60s. He said some extremely sexist statements, and I was immediately filled with an urge to get on the phone and start complaining. Who does this guy think he is? I thought in anger. That is likely the moment when my future husband explained to me who Mr. Doremus was (he knows these kinds of things), and the radio program became more interesting. Rather than being offended, I listened with curiosity, since being born in the 70s means I all but missed out on that kind of women at home in the kitchen where they belong rhetoric. At least, I missed the era when these kinds of remarks were part of the culture.
As I listened and cooked, Chris was out in the yard chopping firewood for a cozy fire. Doremus had a little joke (bit of wisdom, as I call it) at the start of the show, and while I didnt get it word for word, it went something like this:
A man called in and said he had found a spider in his newspaper, and wanted to know if this was a sign of good or bad luck. He was told not to worry, that the spider was no cause for worries. The spider, simply, was reading the newspaper to find businesses that did not advertise, and hed hurry to the store, weave a web into the door, and live peacefully ever after.
I figured this one was just for me, and grabbed a pen to jot it down so I could tell Chris when he came inside.
The next thing Doremus said, however, made it more clear: the episode, he said, had a theme -- love and marriage, and all of the music for the hour was on the topic.
The rest of the evening was wonderful, and it seemed like it was all meant to be, as sometimes happens. We didnt fly to Paris or run off into any sunsets for extravagant adventures. But as far as memories go, it was a nice one, tucked into our little cabin house in the woods, with a fire in the fireplace, and one great newspaper joke (bit of wisdom!) to make a decent story of the night.

I have very sensitive, dry skin and have tried literally everything within my budget - after researching cocoa and shea butter on the internet, I have tried both - the cocoa butter is a little lighter than shea butter but does an excellent job of moisturizing my skin - I use it at night so that it can soak in. And absolutely no redness or irritation since using it! Plus, it has that great cocoa smell!
My skin will react and get a rash to every moisturizer out there. Not this product. It has 100% cocoa butter. No chemicals, no petroleum products, etc. To use the stick, place it against you skin and hold it there for a few seconds to warm it slightly. Then you can move it about your face.

I simply don't think that alcohol and cars (be they fast or not) belong together.
Apart from that, as I mentioned previously, your work is great.

S. E. Hinton
The Outsiders was published during Hinton's freshman year at the University of Tulsa, and was an immediate sensation.Today, with more than eight million copies in print, the book is the best-selling young adult novel of all time, and one of the most hauntingly powerful views into the thoughts and feelings of teenagers. The book was also made into a film, directed by Francis Ford Coppola and featuring such future stars as Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon, and Tom Cruise.
Once published, The Outsiders gave her a lot of publicity and fame, and also a lot of pressure. S.E. Hinton was becoming known as "The Voice of the Youth" among other titles. This kind of pressure and publicity resulted in a three year long writer's block.
Her boyfriend (and now, her husband), who had gotten sick of her being depressed all the time, eventually broke this block. He made her write two pages a day if she wanted to go anywhere. This eventually led to That Was Then, This Is Now.
In the years since, Ms. Hinton has married and now has a teenaged son, Nick. She continues to write, with such smash successes as That Was Then, This Is Now, Rumble Fish and Tex, almost as well known as The Outsiders. She still lives in Tulsa with her husband and son, where she enjoys writing, riding horses, and taking courses at the university.
In a wonderful tribute to Hinton's distinguished 30-year writing career, the American Library Association and School Library Journal bestowed upon her their first annual Margaret A. Edwards Award, which honors authors whose "book or books, over a period of time, have been accepted by young people as an authentic voice that continues to illuminate their experiences and emotions, giving insight into their lives."
copyright © 2000 by Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers. All rights reserved.
A conversation with… S. E. Hinton
You were a 16-year-old high school student in Oklahoma when you wrote The Outsiders. How did you pursue getting it published?I was actually fifteen when I first began it. It was the year I was sixteen and a junior in high school that I did the majority of the work. When I wrote it I had no idea of getting it published. At school one day I mentioned to a friend that I wrote, and she mentioned to me that her mother wrote children's books. She said, "Why don't you let my mother read your stuff?" I gave her a copy of The Outsiders, and this woman showed it to a friend of hers who had a New York agent. She said, "Send this to my agent. Maybe she can get it published for you." I didn't believe that was going to happen, but I mailed it to her. She has been my agent ever since.
The Outsiders made some pretty strong statements about the importance of school, of books, and of experiencing the world outside of your neighborhood and your clique. Were you consciously trying to send those messages to your readers?No. I look back and I think it was totally written in my subconscious or something. I was mad about the social situation in my high school, and I've always been an introspective person. A lot of Ponyboy's thoughts were my thoughts. He's probably the closest I've come to putting myself into a character. I didn't have any grand design. I just sat down and started writing it.
When you wrote The Outsiders, did you have any sense that it would become a success?No, because I wasn't thinking about it for publication; I was writing it for myself. That's the best way to write a book.
You have a son who is right around Ponyboy's age. What does he think of the book, and of having a famous author for a mom?His class read it in school last year. I'd asked him not to read it before then. It's not the kind of thing he'd pick up to read, anyway. He's into science fiction and fantasy. He said, "Everybody seemed to like it. I didn't hear anybody say they didn't." But he's grown up with it. In grade school he came home one day and said, "You know, Mom, having S. E. Hinton for a mother is like having George Bush for a father." And I said, "I assure you, honey, George Bush is not your father!"
You must get thousands of letters from young people about your books. What do kids say about The Outsiders?Most kids say, "I didn't know anybody else felt that way. I didn't think I was going to like this book, but I just loved it." They're not going to sit around and tell each other they watch sunsets. That's totally uncool. And reading a book is such a private experience. It's a mind connection. I really feel that the emotional intensity is what they respond to.
Have their reactions changed over time?No. The concept of the in group and the out group remains the same. The uniforms change, and the names of the groups change, but they really grasp that right away. They say, "OK, this is like the Preppies and the Punks, or whatever they call them.
What books and authors inspired you to become a writer?Well, as an adult, I can pick out a lot of authors who have influenced me. But people want to know your childhood influences, and I'll have to say just books in general. I loved to read, and as soon as I learned how I was reading everything I could get my hands on. I was a horse nut, and Peanuts the Pony was the first book I ever checked out of the library. I still remember that book. The act of reading was so pleasurable and such a connection. For an introverted kid, it's a means of communication, because you interact with the author even if you aren't sitting there conversing with them. Books and reading were the largest influences on my writing, but I can't name any book or author that changed my life.
If you were to revisit the characters from The Outsiders as adults,where do you think they'd be today?I always say I'll never write a sequel, so I have no grand scenario planned out. Soda was killed two weeks before his nineteenth birthday in Vietnam. His friend Steve came back from Vietnam a heroin addict and he's been married twice and divorced twice. But now he's a drug counselor. Darry owns a successful construction business. Ponyboy is an expatriate writer. He writes mysteries under the name P. M. Curtis.
When this book came out it shocked a lot of people. Did that surprise you?No. Because every teenager feels that adults have no idea what's going on. That's exactly the way I felt. I was pleased that they were shocked. One of my reasons for writing it was that I wanted something realistic written about teenagers. At that time there was no realistic teenage fiction. If you didn't want to read "Mary Jane Goes to the Prom" and you were through with horse books, there was nothing to read. I just wanted to write something that dealt with what I saw kids really doing.
You were a pioneer in writing realistic teen fiction, and as a result, didn't get a lot of notoriety or appreciation when you wrote The Outsiders. Does that botheryou?No. I'm glad that did not happen. It's very, very satisfying to have a success that's been based on word of mouth. The Outsiders was not any overnight, quick-to-the-top-of-the-list sensation. It built gradually, from teachers telling teachers and kids telling kids, and it is a really great satisfaction that The Outsiders is where it is today.

Harlequin Pop!
Harlequin Pop! is looking for smart, playful, insightful long-form commentary on your favorite movies and television shows. What we're not looking for is an episode guide. Like Alan Sepinwall's The Revolution Was Televised, we want more sophisticated analysis of your favorite flicks and must-see TV, with a focus on love and romance. What's Eric and Tami's secret to lasting love in Friday Night Lights? Should Joey have chosen Dawson instead of Pacey? What do Don Draper, Spike and Sawyer have in common that makes grown women swoon. Is Hannah Horvath having better sex than Carrie Bradshaw? How does the battle of the sexes balance in a Judd Apatow movie?
If you love pop culture and have interesting things to say about important topics such as "should Sookie be with Eric or Bill?" then Harlequin Pop! is for you. Most Harlequin Pop! books will be 20,00050,000 words, but we're open to both shorter and longer studies (non-fiction only, please). Whether you're delving into classics like Melrose Place or contemporary hits like The Vampire Diaries, we want to be entertained!

Southland sporting goods drive scores big
BY SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERTY email@example.com January 7, 2013 6:52PM
Sun-Times South Region Field Marketer Jamie Makuch (far left), Andrew Steele (background center), major gifts officer with the South-Southwest Suburban United Way, and South-Southwest Suburban United Way intern Colin Burnett (background right) watch as donated sporting good items are loaded for transport by Charlie Grobe (front center) and Garralle Harvey (below right), both with Hassett Commercial Moving & Storage, at the SouthtownStar office Monday, Jan. 7, 2013, at 18312 West Creek Drive in Tinley Park. | Matthew Grotto~Sun-Times Media

One coach's idea to donate used baseball equipment turned into a big hit as more than 1,000 pieces of gently used sports equipment were collected in South-Southwest Suburban United Way's first-ever sporting goods drive.
Dan Jones, an Oak Forest baseball coach, initially contacted the SouthtownStar about finding a recipient for his team's used equipment. That led to a partnership with United Way and the SouthtownStar.
Jamie Makuch, the newspaper's south region field marketer, coordinated the event with United Way's Andrew Steele and promoted the "Healthy Kids Sporting Goods Drive" from Oct. 21 to Nov. 30.
"It's the first annual sporting goods drive for us, but this will definitely happen again," Steele said Monday as movers picked up the last of the items.
"This took off much better than we anticipated," said Steele, United Way's major gifts officer.
Among the 1,000-plus items were golf clubs and golf balls, soccer balls, basketballs, baseballs, footballs, fishing poles, tennis rackets and skateboards. But others donated football down markers, water jugs, helmets, spikes and boxes of hockey sticks and pucks.
Donors brought items to three collection sites — United Way's Matteson office, the Crestwood Rec Center and the SouthtownStar's conference room. It all was delivered to Restoration Ministries in Harvey, a United Way agency that sponsors many youth programs.
"It is awesome to see such initiative," Steele said. "You can make a difference without giving money."
"I knew these donated items could go to good use in the community," Jones said.
His donation inspired others. After reading an article in the SouthtownStar about this effort, David Kavalauskas, 14, also of Oak Forest, held a bake sale at an Arbor Park School girls basketball game as a National Junior Honor Society project and donated $111 to the sporting goods drive.
"He's a sports kid himself," said his mother, Patty Kavalauskas.
A donor who didn't have used equipment came to the SouthtownStar's Tinley Park office with bags of brand-new footballs and baseballs.
Even the movers from Hassett Commercial Moving and Storage in Lombard donated their time, truck and labor. As they hauled out the last load, Steele and Makuch laughed when they saw the first small brown box they thought would hold all the donations.
"We thought we would need a van or two to move it all," Steele said. "We could not have done it without (Hassett)."
Next year, Steele and the SouthtownStar hope to expand the sporting goods drive, to offer more drop-off sites and engage more volunteers.
Before then, the South-Southwest Suburban United Way will host a food drive in April.
"We want to help people volunteer by donating their time, treasures and talents," Steele said.

CTC View (formal statement of CTC's policy):
- CTC recognises that motorcyclists and cyclists share a number of road safety problems, but is concerned that cyclists and pedestrians are more at risk from PTWs than they are from cars.
- National and local motorcycling policies should be informed by a comprehensive, Government-led assessment of the effects that a greater take-up of motorcycling might have. This should look at its impact on:
- the safety (both actual and perceived) of (would-be) pedestrians and cyclists
- the promotion and attractiveness of the cleaner, healthier, quieter and more sustainable alternatives of walking and cycling
- the environment (pollutants and noise)
- congestion
- PTWs should not be allowed in bus lanes, advanced stop lines (ASLs), vehicle-restricted areas or locations where pedal cycles enjoy exemptions from vehicle restrictions. This must necessarily apply to all PTWs, as larger, faster and more polluting machines make up the majority of the PTW fleet and it is not practical to provide traffic regulation benefits for the safest and cleanest machines alone.

In this collection of thirty-eight chiseled short stories, George Thomas Clark introduces readers to actors, alcoholics, addicts, writers famous and unknown, a general, a lovelorn farmer, a family besieged by cancer, extraterrestrials threatening the world, a couple time traveling back to a critical battle, a deranged husband chasing his wife, and many more memorable people and events.
Hitler Here is a well researched and lyrically written biographical novel offering first-person stories by the Fuehrer and a variety of other characters. This intimate approach invites the reader to peer into Hitler's mind, talk to Eva Braun, joust with Goering, Goebbels, and Himmler, debate with the generals, fight on land and at sea and in the air, and huddle in the death camps as, everywhere, civilization is consumed.
Joseph McCarthy says he's a tough and dedicated guy in the boxing ring and U.S. Senate. Richard Nixon denies he's an awkward, resentful, and paranoid president. Fidel Castro asserts he's an appealing and inevitable historical character while embracing megalomania. And all three frigid warriors tell their stories as they fight again.

I slowly twisted down through the old
Swannanoah Golf Course road and out onto the little 2 lane mtn. road I passed the old apple orchard with skeletons
The 300SD swings into the first of a tight 'S' turn
I slow even more and then have to stop completely
My jaw dropped; it was a magnificent Bobcat!
He had gorgeous black-tipped ear tufts and
We just stared at one another through the fog;.
Finally, out sheer boredom with my presence,
I meekly let the car roll past him,
Did he think of me later?

Don't you know better! To disturbe a cat, my word. I like the picture your adventure formed in my mind and I think of a sideroad during a drive on the Blueridge Parkway. Was yesterday in NH at my son's house and spotted, while I was the only one around and quiet, a red fox sleeping in the backyard under a tree. |

I64 over Afton Mtn. VA version 2 u tube. Beautiful. May go that route after the leaves turn. Thanks for posting |
Lio, you're right, of course!!! Oscar, if you do go that way, just get on to 610 right off of 64 --the Pkwy is right next to it----you'll see Pete Lang's golf course on your right at the top of the hill (a couple miles up from the turn-off)--stop in and say Hi if you see an older fellow with a shock of white hair---that would be Pete---he's 93 now! The leaves are always gorgeous up there! Anne, 610 does run alongside the Parkway for maybe 4 or 5 miles----then dives down into Sherando---crammed with hunters----I even used to chase them off my property when I lived in the cabin! Irish Creek is also a nice side road farther down (south) the Pkwy. (PS----what a lovely thing to happen across--a sleeping fox---he must've felt safe in your sons' backyard! Hope you're enjoying every minute of your visit!) You guys sure perked me up----thank you!!! |

Wonderful poem. Back some 50 years ago when we made the fall color trips, it got somewhat crowded on the week-ends. A friend if mine went a few years ago and said it was bumper to bumper and people 10 deep at the lookout points. I'm sure KJ knows the best spots. Below is a page listing fall colors. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fall Color, va
Anothe gem! Thanks, KJ. |

Wow, West! What a hoot! I never thought anyone would do a 'Rollin' Down the Road' video in our neck of the woods! If you like watching those, Freewayjim is top of the heap----esp. with his choice in music! My DGS and I have watched almost all of his videos---esp 'Atlanta by Night', (all of his ATL videos are good!) --If I wanted to look at leaves these days, the LAST place I'd pick would be along the PKWY! It was horrible in the 90's and has only gotten worse!---ESP on the bloomin' weekends. There are no 'best spots' anymore. Raven's Roost (I used to rock climb there---'waaay back!) and Humpback Rocks are very nice spots to spend some time---but they ARE crowded on nice days---not much fun there! When I lived up there, it was bad enough.... Now there are a bunch of nambie-pambies living in tract homes in the newly developed parts. ---(mwheel---thank you!) |

The following is a list of some fellowship opportunities that are available to graduate students in the molecular life sciences. Some of the fellowships (such as the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship) can be applied for as a senior undergraduate. Many fellowships allow you to apply more than once, and others are best pursued as a 1st or 2nd year graduate student, so this process can continue once you're in a particular graduate program. Some are targeted to particular types of research.
The following is a list of some fellowship opportunities that are available to postdocs in the molecular life sciences. Many of the fellowships require that you apply by the end of your first year as a postdoc. Receiving your own fellowship as a postdoc is a great way to show potential employers that you work on fundable questions and know how to write a good grant application.
There are also several funding mechanisms that provide money for the transition from postdoc to new faculty. These include:

Creating these simple finger animals will help develop your child's hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, as they cut out different shapes, add stickers and draw on expressions with a pen to create their animal faces. Your child will probably need some help cutting out the animal shapes and applying the stickers to their fingers (it's a bit tricky to do this on your own).
How to extend the magic
This make is perfect for inspiring some imaginative play. Once you've made all the finger faces, why not put on a little puppet show together? You could make a stage out of a shoe box and hide your fingers faces behind it so they can't be seen. Then pop them up and act out some scenes featuring your animal characters.

TIRUNELVELI: With another two deaths in the last two days, the toll has gone up to three in Kadayanallur region, with victims succumbing to a 'mystery fever' as claimed by local people.
Raheema (37), wife of Abdul Majeed from Kadayanallur, was the first case after she succumbed to the 'mystery fever' on April 17. But health officials termed it as due to hypertension with cerebral haemorrhage.
S Chandru (5), son of Suresh from Kadayanallur, succumbed to fever on Wednesday and another 10-month-old child Tasreen, daughter of Thurab Shaw, died on Thursday. Though the baby died due to diarrhoea, local people panicking over the outbreak termed it as another fever case in the region. Health officials said only Chandru's case was due to dengue and the other child died due to diarrhoea and dehydration. However, people are not ready to believe the health officials as many succumbed to fever in previous years with dengue becoming endemic in the region.
S Sulaiman from Kadayanallur said more than 100 people in the region were down with fever. "While affluent people take the sick to big hospitals in Tirunelveli, poor people who are not able to afford costly treatment are succumbing to fever," he pointed out. "Most of the poor people resort to Kadayanallur Government Hospital or private clinics. Hence we need a full-fledged facility in GH to cater to dengue-related cases," he said. S K Muthukrishnan, a municipal councillor, alleged that the municipality was not taking adequate measures on sanitation works. "It has been months since the corporation chlorinated drinking water, and after a lot of pressure, the overhead tank cover was fixed. Mosquito menace is a great problem in the municipality. We are going to take these issues up with the local minister," he said. Besides dengue, there are also many cases of typhoid due to poor drinking water facilities, he added.
Deputy director of health Meeran Mohaideen maintained that the situation was under control and the health department had initiated various precautionary measures in the region. Out of three cases, only the boy Chandru died of dengue and other cases are not fever-related, he said. "We have started intense fogging operations and anti-larval operations in the region. Blood samples were taken and four out of six were confirmed as dengue. We are awaiting results on another five samples. Dengue has become endemic in the region and we are carrying out necessary measures to control the mosquito menace. Medical surveillance is in place and the situation is under control," he said.

Historically that has been a "do as I say, not as I do.". Via ability to directly commit to pms, bits have gone in that would've been argued- or, bits have been left out that would've made the change in general a no go. Unfortunately because of the way the rules are ran, once it's in all it takes is one person stonewalling to keep from getting it fixed- catch 22, if they can push it in then they get it via pulling a veto. Further, frankly it provides a way for you to stonewall fixing known flaws- the entire life of PMS you've been trying to force extended ~ atom support and no one can get that bit removed because *you* stonewall it. You wrote the original bits, now we can't fix the things you forced in via this idiotic veto rule. I digress. Take it to the council as said, it would be interesting to see the slap down on this one, and frankly PMS does need to be far more democratic. Pointing at academic issues (1^23 chance is academic, although yes, sorting it out for the academic case where the FS supports NS is useful) as a claim that the majority cannot overrule is plain political idiocy. Seriously, push it up to the council. You won't budge, and the rest of us probably don't want to spend 2 weeks playing email tag with you. Either that or we just back off and let you get your way per the norm. This I consider an untenuable solution if PMS is to have any relevance long term. ~harring

I was given what appeared to be a new light emperador double bowl vanity. When I first looked at the piece it seemed fine. When I got it home I noticed a very slight crease in the top. Maybe a crease is not the best word. Upon further examination it appeared to be a crack. It followed the grain and went from on side of the slab to the other and even to the beveled edge. It also appeared to be on the unfinished side. There is also second one from the rear edge of the vanity to the bowl. This countertop is still in the original shipping crate. Is there any hope to salvage this beautiful vanity? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It was given to you or do you have someone you can call and let them know of the defect? If not, I'd suggest a stone person, anyway, because there's a great possibility it can be mended or slowed down with an epoxy. The good news is it follows the grain. Good luck! |
Hey thanks the for suggestion. I am going Saturday to see about a countertops for another surface, I will ask then. I have posted another photo of it. I'd like posted a couple but I'm not sure if I can. The crack runs between the tape |
Wow. That is so minor -- of course, that luckily might be just how it looks! I can't see where that can't be epoxied or something! Good luck. |

Surrounding the building is a small courtyard and garden, where cooked-to-order breakfasts are served.
Room to Book:

A bill that allows veterans to receive in-state tuition rates at Tennessee higher education institutions has garnered support from House lawmakers this week as the bill continues to move through the legislative committee process.
The Veterans Education Transition Support (VETS) Act encourages enrollment of veterans at Tennessee public colleges and removes many of the burdensome hurdles associated with veterans reentering the academic world after serving in our nation's military.
Currently, discharged veterans who choose to relocate back to Tennessee after service must pay out-of-state tuition rates until residency is formally established. Under the VETS legislation, veterans enrolling within 24 months of discharge immediately receive Tennessee's in-state college tuition rate.
The Act also creates a "VETS Campus" designation to recognize and promote schools that make veteran enrollment a priority. Higher education institutions that satisfy veteran-friendly criteria, such as specialized orientation and the availability of mentoring programs, can receive the designation.
The bill is set to next be heard in the House Education Committee. Once approved there, the bill will quickly move to the floor where it will be considered by the full House of Representatives.
And, in case you missed it:
n Medicaid Expansion: Legislation to prohibit the expansion of Medicaid in the state unless first authorized by the Tennessee General Assembly passed the House Finance, Ways & Means Committee and is scheduled for a full House floor hearing later this week.
n Tennessee Blue Books: The 2013-14 Tennessee Blue Book was officially released earlier this month by the Secretary of State. The Tennessee Blue Book, published every two years, is the definitive manual on Tennessee state government, with detailed information about all three branches of government, including biographies of all members of the Tennessee General Assembly. In addition, the Blue Book contains information on the federal government, Tennessee history, election statistics and much more.
This year's Blue Book is dedicated to former Tennessee Lady Volunteers Coach Pat Summitt. In her 38 years of coaching the UT Lady Vols basketball team, Summitt received hundreds of honors. Her teams won more than 1,000 games, 32 Southeastern Conference championships and eight national championships. Her players who completed their playing eligibility at UT had a 100 percent graduation rate. And, since being diagnosed with early onset dementia a little over two years ago, she has led a foundation that has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund Alzheimer's research.
For more information on this year's publication of the Tennessee Blue Book, visit http://www.state.tn.us/sos/pub/index.htm.
n Three Stars Award: Legislation to create the "Three Stars of Tennessee Award" for peace officers, firefighters and medical first responders killed or injured in the line of duty is set to be heard in the House Government Operations Committee later this week. The award, which consists of an official medal, a certificate and a ribbon suitable for wearing on a uniform, aims to recognize the heroic and brave sacrifices of first responders who give their lives or suffer a career-ending injury protecting and serving the public.
n Transparent Tennessee: Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam announced the launch of "Transparent Tennessee," an overhaul of the state's transparency website to offer more user-friendly information online to Tennessee taxpayers.
Transparent Tennessee is a one-stop shop for searching public data on how state dollars are spent. The site includes a searchable checkbook with more interactive data related to state agency expenses, vendor payments and travel reimbursements.
Transparent Tennessee includes the new checkbook function along with an interactive financial overview of where state dollars come from and where they are spent. The site has a public opportunities section that links to public meetings, open records information and a page for feedback.
Visitors to the website will also see quick links to state audits and the state salary database.
Transparent Tennessee can be found at http://tn.gov/opengov/.

Just added two new affiliates. ^_^
Welcome to Sweet Chaos, your #1 High Quality fansite for the wonderfully quizzical actor, Jeff Goldblum. He is probably most famous for his roles in The Fly, Jurassic Park, The Lost World, and Independence Day.
Just redid the video page. Commercials, full length movies, and full length episodes. I will be moving the �trailers� to the video section in the future. Enjoy! If you know of other full length Goldblum features online, please send me the links so that I might include them in the collection.
Sweet Chaos is 1 year old today! It's amazing how much it has a grown and developed in that time and I thank you�all my wonderful and supportive visitors�for helping to make Goldblum.net what it is today. I hope to continue to maintain this website for your enjoyment for years to come. Thank you all for your continued support. Coincidentally, my sister site Jeff Goldblum Online was launched the same day that I created Sweet Chaos, so it is her site's 1 year birthday as well. Happy Birthday Michelle!
I just added 44 screencaps of Jeff from �Man of the Year.� Random Fact: Jeff stars in two movies with Robin Williams (Nine Months and Man of the Year) yet in both films they never share screen time together!
Hope you all had a Happy Easter today!
At long last I have solved the skinning issue!!! YAY! To celebrate I�ve added (as you can see) a new SKIN! ^_^

Ouch! My back! Do you often say this when you get up from chairs, or is it something you often hear from a loved one? It is important for you to get information regarding back discomfort and how to handle it. The following advice will help you take care of your back so you can find the relief you need.
Is back pain plaguing you? Always remember to pay attention to how you move; try to avoid twisting your body excessively. Be careful as you go about your daily activities as twisting your spine, such as when cleaning, can injure your back. If you are participating in sports, be attentive of movement in your spine, if you are feeling pain or tightness just take it easy!
The average person needs 62 ounces of water a day to ensure healthy living. A healthy well-balanced diet that is full of essential nutrients will help your body function better. Not only can it help you stay thin, which prevent back pain complications, but it also releases other nutrients and chemicals that reduce your risk of making the pain worse.
You can protect your back during those long days at the desk by simply taking walks on your breaks. An accumulation of compression on the muscles and discs in your back can be avoided by standing and stretching your arms and legs, thereby exercising muscles that have been dormant.
When you are experiencing terrible pain in your back, you need to settle down the muscle spasms that are occurring. The quickest way to do this is to lay down and apply heat to the tense muscles. It can also be beneficial to drink lots of fluids and reduce your sodium until the pain is better. When you feel dehydrated, your spasm can be even worse.
If you're carrying 10 pounds more than your optimal weight, then try going on a diet. Carrying extra pounds, especially in the stomach, interferes with your balance. This strains the lower back, and over time can lead to chronic low back discomfort.
It may seem illogical, but those who have back pain need to exercise regularly. Those who suffer from back pain often believe that exercise can further harm them, when in actuality, it is extremely beneficial. When the back muscles are stretched, it often helps alleviate back pain.
Relieve your back discomfort by alternating heat packs and cold packs on your back muscles. Ice helps by reducing both inflammation and pain. Warmth will work to sooth muscles and promote the flow of blood, ultimately helping to heal the area. Some of the various methods you can try include a heating pad, warm bath or an electric blanket; be cautious and do not fall asleep when trying any of these.
Prevent any situations which can cause your back to have fits, and you will get rid of a major cause of your back pain. Typical triggers of back pain include dehydration, anxiety, lack of sodium, lack of sleep, caffeine, and stress. If a back spasm is triggered, apply a heat pack as soon as possible to relax and rest all of your back muscles and prevent any pain from getting worse.
Now that you have all of the right information, you are ready to tackle back discomfort head on. The advice you were given in this article can help you or a loved one manage back pain safely and effectively.

"Great recipe Molly J! I used cocoa as well as chocolate squares (cutting back on marg a bit), and replaced some of the white sugar with brown. Baked several batches, cut 24 from each pan & froze them for the bake stall next weekend at our American Women's Club annual Independence Day Fair here in Perth, Western Australia.

"The best recipe, thanks SW! Finally another use for my Weight Watcher's kitchen scales..rolling little 20g cookie balls. LOL! Froze the dough into 2 logs, double-wrapped in wax paper, then chopped into 60 pieces while cold, yielded 5 dozen. Where they touched on the baking sheet, I cut them apart with a knife while still warm to keep a nice edge...."

I zapped it with my hand blender before adding the ham to smooth it out. But you were right, Migan, I wasn't disappointed. We had it for lunch with corn bread on the side. It's a keeper!"

We loved staying here!
The condo is beautiful and our family had a wonderful time staying here. Sarah was incredibly thoughtful leaving out toys and baby equipment she thought our family would enjoy. Another thoughtful touch was that she texted us the address and security codes we would need while we were flying down so that we wouldn't be digging through our stuff hunting for that info when we arrived. She also periodically checked in with us while we were there to make sure we didn't have any questions. The condo is in a great location less than 30 min from Disney and also has lots of dining and shopping options just minutes away.

Yes they do, in fact we went last August and stayed at AKL and we were upgraded to a savanna view for free without even asking.
Often hotels will upgrade your room if you ask and they have many of those rooms available and low chance of booking them up. Has anyone asked for a room upgrade at a Disney hotel? We are staying at the All Star Music and I was wondering if there was any chance our standard room might be upgraded if other rooms were available.

Munsingwear was a Minneapolis-based designer, importer, manufacturer, marketer, and licenser of branded apparel for men, boys, and women. The company was for many years famous for its union suit, an undergarment consisting of an undershirt and underdrawers combined in a single garment. The company was also said to be the originator of the classic golf shirt. It was in operation in Minneapolis from 1886 to 1986. ~Linda McShannock, St. Paul, MN
Necessity is the mother of invention
There's no denying it--without the right clothing, Minnesota winters are unbearable. Comfy outerwear is essential, of course, but we all know that it's what's underneath that really counts.
No one knew this better than entrepreneurs Frank H. Page, Edward O. Tuttle, and George D. Munsing, who founded Minneapolis's Northwestern Knitting Company in 1887 with the express purpose of making simple, comfortable undergarments. Much of the company's early success hinged on the patents filed by George Munsing, a tireless inventor. In 1888, for example, he patented a woolen knit fabric sure to please his customers: "It will be readily understood," according to the patent description, "that the desirable qualities of a fabric for this purpose are that it shall be heavy enough to be sufficiently warm; that it shall also have a fine attractive, and handsomely finished outer surface and a soft but smooth under surface that will not irritate the flesh of the wearer."
In 1919, the company was renamed Munsingwear. By then its place in the underwear industry was secure, thanks to its prodigious output of the humble yet essential union suit. Munsingwear's signature product was affordable (due to the company's well-honed production techniques), comfortable (due to Munsing's patented knitting techniques), and ubiquitous (due to Munsingwear's savvy marketing). With its 1897 appearance in the Ladies' Home Journal, the company became the first to place an underwear ad in a national magazine. In 1917, the company's output was 30,000 garments a day. By 1923, Munsingwear, Inc., was the largest manufacturer in the world producing underwear under one trademark. It was also Minnesota's largest employer of women--85 percent of its 3,000 employees were female.
Business remained brisk over the years. Munsingwear made its last union suit in 1969, but by then the company had diversified and was making a range of products, from Vassarette undergarments for women to Grand Slam golf shirts for men (remember the penguin logo?). Munsingwear's Minneapolis production plant, built in 1915, closed in 1981. The building is now known as International Market Square. Minneapolis Star and Tribune columnist Jim Klobuchar spoke for many with his memories of the company's most notable product: "For generations, nobody made longjohns like Munsingwear. We wore them every day for seven months at a time in northern Minnesota. Every Monday was a reveille for the town's longjohns. They were marshaled in white regiments on the wash line, hanging in frozen attention."

We will be playing a bunch of songs that will be on our new CD that we are recording right now. Come out and support local music and party like crazy. We'll see you there!!!
MUDSTONE Live at The DownLo
This is gonna be a great show. We are playing with Steelhead and we'll be rockin til midnight. See you there!!!
Latest MUDSTONE Update!!!
We just wanted to update everyone on what we have been up to lately. So as you all know, we recently brought in a new drummer, the amazing Jason King and we have been practicing like crazy so we can get things tight and ready to perform. We have really been focusing on our original music with minimal covers at this point and it has been great. We finally feel like we are at a point where we want to start playing live again and really take MUDSTONE to the next level. We released our first CD in 2011 and it was received well by our fans and we gained a lot of interest in the band because of it. Since then we have written a bunch of songs that we have played live and even some that we haven't. We've had a few changes since we recorded that first CD and we believe we are better than we've ever been on every level. Right now we are currently booking some shows and we are writing even more new material for a new CD that we hope to release in early 2014!!! We are probably going to start recording just after the new year if not sooner. Another new change that has occurred in the MUDSTONE camp is that we now have a professional sound and recording engineer by the name of Tyler Johnson who has become a great friend of ours and he is working with us and greatly helping us record our practices and dial in our live sound. Good things to come for sure!!! MUDSTONE
Welcome Our New Friend and Drummer
So its official, we now have a drummer. Please welcome Jason King to the group. We have been rehearsing with Jason for a couple weeks now and it's been a great experience. We have a great chemistry with Jason and it's showing in our rehearsals because we are really getting up to speed quick. We still have a ways to go with rehearsals, but we are hoping to maybe be playing some shows this fall. One thing is for sure, we are having fun right now. We'll see you all soon at the next MUDSTONE show!!!
What's Going On !!!
So we are still auditioning drummers. Thanks to everyone who is helping us spread the word. Keep it up. I've been taking advantage of the down time recently by working on some new song ideas. Going well so far. I think JR is working on some new stuff as well and Rich always has something new ready to go. Eric and I were discussing some ideas the other day so we'll be getting together also to work on new songs. I know some of our Chico fans have been asking us to come play. Chico has a couple great locations for doing acoustic shows so we might be able to do something like that until we get a drummer. Thanks for hangin' with us and we'll be out rockin' soon…..JL
MUDSTONE Seeks Drummer
Mud Stone is currently looking for a new drummer. Looking for someone who is focused and dedicated with a positive attitude and drama free. You can checkout our website and Facebook pages to get info about the band and hear some songs. If your interested, send us an email or call Justin at 530-788-8050 or 530-632-5162.

Some new Stone Temple Pilots music may be in the offing, but it's not likely to surface until after the reunited rockers finish touring later this year.
See Also:"I think new material will come probably after this tour," bassist Robert DeLeo tells Billboard.com. "I think the whole thing now is kind of getting back and re-acclimating ourselves to the songs that we know. I think that's gonna make for a better atmosphere and better performances ... instead of doing a new record. "Then, after this tour finishes, I think we're gonna be in a position where we've gotten to know each other again, and I think it's gonna be time to hit the studio." DeLeo says he and his brother, STP guitarist Dean DeLeo are "always, always, always" working on new songs and often think of whether they'd be material suited to STP. "There's always stuff brewing," he notes. For now, however, the group is focused on rehearsing for the tour, which -- following a surprise show earlier this month at the Houdini Estate in Los Angeles, which may be released as a DVD -- begins May 17 at the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio, and is due to wrap up Aug. 31 at the Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle. DeLeo says the outing is "a pretty big goal" but is optimistic that the band is up for the challenge. "In our prime we didn't get through fourth months of touring," he says with a laugh. "It's a pretty big bite, but I think there's a lot more clarity this time around and a lot more wisdom to go along with the music itself. "I personally think it's gonna make for a better atmosphere. I think we're just keeping an open attitude and trying to enjoy this for once or twice or three times in my career out of all the times we've been together. It'd be great to enjoy this, y'know? I think we all deserve it. We all earned it." STP is also soliciting fan requests and suggestions for its tour song list at the group's official Web site.
