She is a beauty! My girl has a birthday this month too, on January 31...only she's not a dog, or a cat, or any other kind of furry friend, she's my daughter and she's turning 21! Remember when you'all turned 21? Wasn't it a big deal for some of you? I think it was for me, of course once you turn 21 the years start rolling by faster and faster. It's exciting for her to be 21, and I like the feeling of it too in that she is growing up so nicely, but with that, I get older too. Happy birthday Callie the collie! |
Pretty baby! She looks well loved and very happy. My Lab, Snowy, will be 8 this year in April. |

Alison Seabeck to be shadow housing minister
Alison Seabeck will be announced as the new shadow housing minister, her office confirmed this afternoon.
She will work with Caroline Flint who was appointed the shadow secretary for communities and local government last week in Ed Milliband's shadow cabinet.
Ms Seabeck, who is the MP for Plymouth Moor View, was parliamentary advisor to former housing minister Nick Raynsford for 12 years, focusing on housing, planning and local government.
The Labour Party confirmed Ms Seabeck would be part of the shadow CLG team over the weekend, alongside Barbara Keeley, Jack Dromey, and Chris Williamson
Readers' comments (6)
I can't say she's a name I've heard of before, but 12 years as a political advisor to Nick Raynsford on a portfolio which included housing leaves me hope that she might actually know what she's talking about - unlike Shapps!
She was parachuted into Plymouth on a 'wimmin only' list courtesy of Amicus. She is an old fashioned union backed Labour MP.
As well as 'advisor' to Nick Raynsford she is also now his 'partner'.I think the "Seller's Pack," the forerunner to HIP's. may have seen its first light of day under Nick Raynsford, so I would not rush to the conclusion that past experience is always an example of good judgement.
The Times on 28 March 2010 reported that Mr Raynsford Sebecks 'partner' earns £9000 per month from jobs in industries connected to his former ministerial career.
Champagne Socialist.Alison who?
I am not optimistic. Caroline Flint is an uber-Blair babe and is highly unlikely to speak out in any meaningful way against, for example, the introduction of insecure tenancies in the social sector or the workfare plans being introduced by Ian Duncan Smith. (Here's the problem with workfare: if there a job to be done to receive welfare, then there is a job there to be done for wages. Logically, someone could be made redundant from a job and then be forced to go back to do it, receiving welfare instead of wages. How fair is that?). Neither is she likely to provide much in the way of challenge to Eric Pickles, a man in so many ways with similar anti-public service views to her own. Nor to support hard pressed households keep their homes in the face of housing benefit cuts and the time bomb, which will start to explode in January, of New Labour's restriction to two years for mortgage interest support.
Alison Seabeck will, then, perhaps be able to draw upon Nick Raynsford's knowledge. Which I guess is not going to be helpful to those of us who want to see an equitable housing system. Lest we forget, it was Nick Raynsford who fought so hard for so long to prevent local authorities building new homes, helping to create the housing shortage we now have, who supported the privatisation of community owned assets to quasi-private housing associations who with the demise of housing inspections will be better able to, sadly in all too many instances, ride rough shod over the interests of tenants and communities, and who did little or nothing to oppose the 'developer and lender first' housing supply policies. He has to share a large proportion of the blame for Britain having what surely has to be Europe's most dysfunctional housing system, with the chance of secure home at a price commensurate with incomes so far out of reach for so many it is the stuff of nightmares for anyone with children or grandchildren. And with £9,000 a month coming in from somewhat unspecified but I suspect not exactly arduous roles Ms Seabeck is unlikely to have that much knowledge of struggling to pay housing costs.
Red ED? Nope – blue Ed with a nice line in Islington-dinner-party patter.

How to Recycle Envelopes
If you work in an office or have an office at home, you likely have a variety of envelopes floating around. Some of them can just be tossed in the recycling bin, and some require one extra step.
Here's what you need to know to recycle each type of envelope.
Envelopes with plastic windows: They can actually go in with regular paper. Filters in the recycling system will remove the plastic film of the window.
FedEx: Paper FedEx envelopes can be recycled, and there's no need to pull off the plastic sleeve.
Goldenrod: Unfortunately, these brightly colored envelopes (frequently used for inter-office envelopes) aren't recyclable because of the hard-to-remove dye. If you have a choice, opt for white, light-colored, or recycled envelopes.
Jiffy Paks: Many Jiffy envelopes―even the paper-padded ones filled with that material resembling dryer lint―are recyclable with other mixed papers, like cereal boxes. The exception: Goldenrod-colored envelopes must be tossed.
Padded envelopes with Bubble Wrap: These can't be recycled; try reusing them instead.
Tyvek (most commonly FedEx Paks): DuPont, the maker of Tyvek, takes these envelopes back and recycles them into plastic lumber. Turn one envelope inside out and stuff others inside it. Mail them to Tyvek Recycle, Attention: Shirley B. Wright, 2400 Elliham Avenue #A, Richmond VA 23237. If you have large quantities (200 to 500), call 866-338-9835 to order a free pouch.

In traditional Buddhist countries, people are quite realistic and laid back concerning dharma practice. Although they have deep faith and devotion, they understand that we are all flawed human beings. So they tend to be less critical both of themselves and others. Q

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Maggie!
Facts about Maggie
- Breed: Rat Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Maggie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
location: Tampa, FL
Maggie has a fan club - the folks at the shelter, the transport folks, everyone is just in love with Maggie! Maggie came in with her little girl (Sadie), from a shelter in Arkansas. She is two years old, weighs about 10 pounds, and is very healthy and smart. You can tell she was well cared for, and just wants a home where she can feel loved again; all she wants is love. Maggie would probably be happiest in a single dog home. She craves attention and gives it right back to you. Maggie is a lap dog and doesn't need a lot of exercise or a big yard; a small fenced yard to wander in, or a few walks a day, and she is perfectly fine. She is quite the lady and just wants to be spoiled. You can take Maggie with you on your weekend errands and she'd be quite fine with that. She is not much of a barker. Although she wants to be with you, Maggie does not have separation anxiety and she walks right into her create to settle for the night. She puts on the cutest "puppy eyes" ever, and bows down to you when she wants to be picked up. Maggie would probably do best with older kids, as she really does want all the attention. If you are the type to curl up on the couch or in bed and read a good book or watch TV at night, then Maggie Ratbone is perfect for you! To see more photos of Maggie please click here.
Other Pets at Ratbone Rescues (FL Chapter)
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Maggie, a Jacksonville Rat Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rat Terrier for sale in Jacksonville, or seeking a Rat Terrier dog from a breeder in Jacksonville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Jacksonville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Jacksonville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Rat Terrier breeders who help with Rat Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Jacksonville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Jail attack earns man 5 years in prison
Attacking a fellow Porter County Jail inmate while in custody for allegedly battering his own father earned a Michigan City man a five-year prison sentence Monday.
Sergio Perez, 20, pleaded guilty to Class C felony battery for the May 17 attack on the fellow inmate, where he came up from behind the seated man and broke his nose and both eye sockets and caused the victim to need seven stitches in his lip.
In exchange for Perez's April 8 plea, the Porter County Prosecutor's office dropped charges of Class C felony battery, Class D felony criminal and misdemeanor battery from a March 2012 attack on his father.
Witnesses at Woodland Village Mobile Home Park said Perez eventually knocked his father out with a kick to the head after his father told him to leave the park, where Perez is barred from visiting.
Man threatened with butcher knife
Threatening a roommate with a butcher's knife over money and later burglarizing the Valparaiso home of an acquaintance meant 191 days in jail and 16 months on probation for a Valparaiso man.
Bruce Aaron Stanley, 22, pleaded guilty Tuesday to Class D felony criminal recklessness for the April 2012 incident where he raised the butcher's knife at his roommate, and a Class D felony intimidation charge was dropped as part of the plea.
Stanley also pleaded guilty to Class D felony residential entry, down from a Class B felony burglary charge that could have gotten him up to 20 years in prison.
He was on bond from the April incident when the resident found him in her home Oct. 13, taking a wallet with $800 and other items.
Porter Circuit Judge Mary Harper sentenced Stanley along with accepting his plea Tuesday.
Probation for one of three charges
A Portage man will serve three years on probation for three separate incidents in 2012, one of which involved threatening his pregnant sister with a .22 rifle.
Benjamin Perez, 19, received the sentence Monday for his pleas earlier this year to Class D felony maintaining a common nuisance for an Aug. 1 drug arrest at his home and June 28 threat.
On June 28, he tore up his sister's home and took the rifle with him, stating he'd return for revenge for her family calling the police; on Aug. 1, police found marijuana, a marijuana grinder and psychedelic mushrooms at his home; on Nov. 6, he broke into his sister's home and stole a large pizza, court documents state.
As part of his plea agreement, the prosecution dropped charges of Class C felony intimidation for the first incident, misdemeanor possession of pot and possession of paraphernalia for the second incident and Class D felony residential entry, Class D felony theft and misdemeanor minor consumption of alcohol for the last incident.

Every spring, the CCR2P hosts its annual conference on a theme related to R2P. This year's annual symposium took place on March 29th 2014 on the theme of "From Rwanda to R2P: A Journey of Lessons Learned," featuring Dr. Jennifer Welsh, the UN Secretary-General's Representative on R2P as the keynote speaker. Please click here for more information. Our 2014 conference transcript is available here.
The Responsibility While Protecting: Emerging Powers and the Future of R2P took place on February 16, 2012.

Ten Years After the ICISS: Reflections for the Past and Future of the R2P – Hosted at Munk School of Global Affairs, 12 November 2011 — Transcript Published 9 May 2012
Students: FREE
Non-Students: $20.00*
A decade since its birth, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle has made remarkable progress as an emerging international norm. However, it remains hotly contested, and even rejected, in the eyes of some UN member states. If the ongoing Security Council deadlock on Syria makes one thing clear, it is that the consensus on R2P has suffered since the 2011 Libyan intervention. Academics, government actors and international institutions have yet to develop mechanisms through which the R2P principle can effectively respond to looming catastrophes.
One attempt to improve the track record of the principle, and thereby expand its global consensus, has emerged in Brazil's RwP proposal. RwP proposes a set of criteria for military intervention, a monitoring-and-review mechanism to assess the implementation of Security Council mandates and an emphasis on capacity building to avert crises before they happen. It holds that poorly executed military interventions can in fact aggravate, not alleviate, existing conflicts. RwP thus seeks to complement R2P by helping to break the logjam caused by Syria.
How should governments, scholars, civil society and students understand the implications of this proposal? This conference will address: 1) the meaning of RwP for the emerging R2P norm and, 2) the unique role BRICS can play in mobilizing international intervention. The Responsibility While Protecting: Emerging Powers and the Future of R2P will gather international experts to discuss this unique addition to the R2P debate for the first time in Canada.

Formula 1 2011 Review
When you first start playing F1 2011 (Xbox 360, PS3) it will probably feel like little has changed since last year's F1 game. Developer Codemasters did the major building work for the series ahead of the launch of F1 2010 and the same framework supports the latest game too, but if you take a closer look under the bonnet you'll uncover a range of exciting new additions and more subtle tweaks. F1 2011 represents an evolution of an already winning formula rather than a revolution, but it improves on its predecessor in almost every respect and is undoubtedly the better game if you're looking to get into the genre.…

I am totally grossed out. Draw the line, Amazon!
take this off your site dont give a sick person like this more advertiesment. for your kids and mine
One word for this loser: CASTRATION
Chris Hanson would like to have a few words with this sick bastard…
Glad Amazon dropped this. If not, they'd have lost me as a customer.
Douchebags like this "man" are but one of many reasons why America is in the shitter! I am all for freedom of speech and expression but when it comes to a painfully apparent attempt at gaining sympathy for sexual predators,I can only say Please, let me be the one to cap this rotten bastard!!!!
Yeah, you need to take this off the site. I know there has been some wild stuff on here, but this is sick and needs to go.
Wow…I am blown away that a company would actually sell this on there website…I was going to do some shopping on Amazon but will never buy from there website because of this…shows how greedy a company is when they try to make money off sick stuff like this…shame on amazon
Well I am guessing that every cathoclic priest has a copy of this book!
It's actually a good idea to sell it online….then have cops show up at the person's door. Bingo! Gotcha perv.
@David Crump: So what you're saying is that pedophiles ruined the economy, got us into a pointless war, and produced The Jersey Shore?
Don't get me wrong: Pedophilia should be punished in the harshest way. I just don't think that it, nor this book, is the downfall of our country.
Every Catholic Priest does NOT have that book. Not everyone who is Catholic is bad as I am more than sure that molestation goes on in other religeons as well.
@David, your right. That book is not the downfall of this country, the downfall is usually the people who blame others or other things for the downfall.
But the majority on this site posting comments aren't what I'd call a bunch of "bright lights."
the author was arrested after police purchased an autographed copy
Woooww. I read the article, & I guess that's not the first book like that to be on Amazon available for purchase.
@Selinda, I totally agree, they should have Chris Hanson do an interview with this creep on Dateline…
that is, if they haven't already had him on To Catch A Predator.
Stuff like this just disgusts me though. How anyone could think that those sick people deserve sympathy is beyond me.
I think in cases like this, censorship does need to be applied though, regardless of freedom of speech.
Look jail is not the answer, there are special prisons built to house these predators, so when they go to prison, they get to sit down and talk together!Like a f**ken get together!! This is not the first book to be published nor the last…in there eyes, there is nothing wrong with what they do and they will never stop! Rehab does not work, what does work is blinding them, castration and cut off the hands! Let them live with the pain like the children do, death and jail is an easy way out~~~
you gotta draw the line somewhere… i'd prefer right across his throat.
As sick as the book is, and as disturbed as the author is, he has every right to sell this book. It's not a crime in and of itself, so it's covered under free speech.
It's a slippery slope, free speech. For true freedom, you have to allow the good and the bad. For every peaceful protest and teacher wage strike, there's a westboro, KK, or tea party Rally. If people pick and choose, who's to say someone with enough power won't ban a form of speech only they consider offensive?

Department of Motor Vehicles extends some deadlines because of October snowstorm
Three Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles offices remain closed because of outages and other problems following the Oct. 29 Winter Storm Alfred. Those three are Enfield, New Britain and Winsted. (Click here to find others offices for DMV services.)
The DMV also issued a press release announcing it is extending some deadlines for renewing driver's licenses, non-driver ID cards, vehicle registrations and other credentials expiring Oct. 29 through Nov. 10, 2011.
These remain valid during that time period, but must be renewed by Nov. 10.
Law enforcement will be notified about these extensions.
These extensions include the time needed to comply with emissions inspections. Customers are advised to check with their garage to see if they are currently conducting emissions testing.
In addition, late fees for both expiring credentials and emissions tests will be waived during this period only through Thursday, Nov. 10. (Late-fee waivers do not cover expirations prior to Oct. 29.)
All late fees are once again effective as of Friday, Nov. 11.
The CT DMV also reports other service-related issues due to last weekend's storm:
- As of Tuesday evening (Nov. 1), DMV's Wethersfield office was on limited power and not accessible to disabled people due to a non-functioning elevator.
- DMV's call center cannot accept telephone calls for in-person assistance, but recorded automated information is available. Customers can call 860-263-5700 (within Hartford area or outside Connecticut) or 1-800-842-8222 (elsewhere in Connecticut) or visit http://ct.gov/dmv
- In the Wethersfield DMV office only, all road tests scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 2, have been cancelled. Customers can reschedule road tests by contacting DMV's call center once it has returned to full operation. (see above note)
- AAA's Enfield and Plainville locations will be closed on Wednesday, Nov. 2, and therefore will not be providing driver's license and non-driver ID card renewal service.

About half of Kentuckians don't have enough money to cover basic expenses in a disaster, according to a recent study.
The Corporation for Enterprise Development says Kentuckians are 34th among the 50 states in terms of having the savings to be prepared for a financial emergency.
Financial Planning Advisor John Bryant said people should save enough money to cover at least three months of expenses. He added that if a person is self-employed, he or she should have enough money to cover six months of expenses.
In a natural disaster, Bryant said most people who don't have any money saved then rely on their friends, church community and the bank to pull them through.
Mary Jinocchio owns "Mulberry and Lime," a home furnishing and gifts store in Lexington. She said owning your own business takes financial discipline.
"The one benefit of working for corporate or somebody else is that there is a paycheck," Jinocchio said. "When you have your own business that income may fluctuate based on what's going on economically or if there is a natural disaster."
Jinocchio said the storm doesn't have to hit your home state either. Her business orders were stalled a few months ago when Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast.
To survive in critical times, Jinocchio said she remains frugal when business is good. But even with the money saved, Jinocchio still isn't sure what she would do if her business was hit by a tornado or another storm.

The day after Hurricane Sandy blasted the city, Larry Kata went to check on his uncle, Richard Leporin, who lives in Howard Beach.
"I found him upstairs shivering with his cat and a flashlight, because he had no power," Kata said. "The water was six and a half feet high in his house."
"The water was coming in so fast," Leporin recalled. "I went downstairs and I saw the refrigerator floating in the kitchen. I thought about the electric. I said to myself, 'I'd better get out of the water.' I went upstairs and lay down on the sofa with the cat."
Luckily, Kata helped the 80-year-old Navy veteran get to safety before anything happened to him.
Now, without electricity, heat, or hot water, Leporin and his cat have taken up residence with Kata in West Babylon, LI. He said he has some concern about leaving his property unattended because of possible looters, but added that there isn't much left to steal. And he's been coming back to clean up the mess left behind.
Piles of debris sat outside his Howard Beach dwelling last Friday and Leporin, assisted by Kata, was still working on the massive job of cleaning out his flood-ravaged home.
Still, he remained in good spirits, thankful for the possessions he was able to save — including his deceased wife's ashes, family photos including their wedding portrait and some model boats that he built.
Leporin lost nearly everything on the first floor of his home, the contents of his garage and woodworking shop and his car. The house was cold, and a damp smell permeated the air. Leporin was dressed in several layers of clothes, wearing a knit cap and carrying a flashlight as he carefully walked through the space where he has lived since 1960.
"There was a wall here, and when my wife passed away, I made a memorial, real nice, and I had her ashes and everything here," Leporin said as he pointed to a barren, dirt-covered area. "I'm 80 years old. I never did harm to anyone in my life. I'm not the only one. There are people who are worse off than me."
Leporin said he hasn't gotten any disaster assistance or services. The only help he has received is from family. And despite the long road ahead, he has no intention of moving out of Howard Beach.
"I'm not alone," Leporin said. "It's not like I can go to the corner and say to my neighbor, 'Look what happened to my house,' because he has the same thing."

Options Besides Cable or Satellite TV
Cable prices are getting pretty ridiculous these days. It's not only the cable packages but the pay-per-view movies as well. Satellite services can be just as expensive as cable. Many people are looking for other options because their bills are getting too costly. If you're on a budget then your cable and telephone bills should be the first place you look to make some cut-backs.
The most dominant markets today are still cable and satellite TV. Recently, Verizon began to offer their own alternative called Fios. Fios is a fiber-optic wire method similar to cable. Cable, satellite services (Dish Network) and Fios are all priced about equally (way too expensive) and they deliver similar results.
Whichever option you currently have, chances are you're paying a lot for those services. It might seem like there are no other choices out there but there are. We'll show you some alternatives to the big cable and satellite companies.
Different options to choose from:
1. Internet TV - You can watch many of your favorite shows and channels on Internet sites such as Hulu.com, Netflix.com, Ustream.tv and Freetv.com. Sites like these show advertisements at the beginning of shows instead of throughout the show and most are FREE. With a good internet connection, a television capable of interfacing with your computer and a little setup time, you can watch Hulu and these other sites right on your TV.
2. Video Game Consoles - Over the past year, research has revealed the gaming console as the method used by a plurality of US consumers to connect a TV to the Internet in order to watch online content such as TV shows, TV channels and movies. Some consoles that allow this are the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Sony Playstation 3.
3. Streaming Internet Devices – There are some streaming internet devices out there like the Boxee or Roku that bring everything from the Internet into one place on your TV. The dashboard conveniently groups everything into categories, so your favorite shows or movies are easy to find. The prices are a onetime fee and range from $60 to $168. There is NO monthly fee associated with Boxee, so you can save on average around $1,000-$1,800 a year.
4. Satellite Direct – This service feeds over 3500 channels including high definition directly to your computer. A little connection savvy help from an online forum will have you streaming your 3500 channels from your internet, to your computer and then to your TV. The software is easy to install, takes only seconds and works beautifully (and cheaply) compared to cable or satellite service.
A lot of people pay tons of money in order to be able to watch the TV shows they can't live without. In the process they end up spending unnecessary amounts of money, mostly for programming that they don't even watch. If you dig a little deeper you might find that there are many free or low cost options out there.
If you are looking for more ways to cut expenses and set a household budget, contact Advantage Credit Counseling Service today. The Certified Credit Counselors at AdvantageCCS can work with you on a variety of budgeting strategies to help you make the best financial decisions for you and your family.

Tokyo's bid for 2020 Olympics a sign of healing
Tokyo's announcement over the weekend that it will bid for the 2020 Olympics is intended to show the world it can recover and stage a successful Games after the devastation caused by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Tokyo's announcement over the weekend that it will bid for the 2020 Olympics is intended to show the world it can recover and stage a successful Games after the devastation caused by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
Japanese Olympic Committee President Tsunekazu Takeda confirmed the Japanese capital's candidacy Saturday at a ceremony celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Japanese Olympic Committee.
"Today, Japan is recovering from the tsunami and earthquake and we want to have the 2020 Olympics as a symbol of the recovery," said Takeda.
Tokyo, which lost out to Rio de Janeiro in the race to host the 2016 Olympics, was not discouraged by the South Korean city of Pyeongchang winning the right to host the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Pyeongchang beat European rivals Munich and Annecy, France, after narrow defeats for the 2010 and 2014 Games.
International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge, who attended Saturday's ceremony, said Thursday the IOC has no formal opposition to hosting successive games on the same continent.
Rome and Madrid have officially declared bids for 2020 and Istanbul is expected to do so as well.
The IOC will select the 2020 host city in 2013.
Tokyo hosted the Summer Olympics in 1964, and the Winter Games in Sapporo in 1972 and again in Nagano in 1998.
Rogge said he was confident Tokyo would make a strong bid.
"Japan belongs to the small elite group of five nations only who have organized three splendid Olympic Games," said Rogge.
The Japanese Olympic Committee has said if Tokyo wins the right to host the 2020 games, regions affected by the earthquake, tsunami and the ensuing nuclear crises could host some events such as soccer.
Tokyo emerged as the sole bidding city for Japan after Hiroshima and Nagasaki — the two Japanese cities hit by atomic bombs in World War II — had expressed interest in a joint Olympic bid. Hiroshima pulled out recently, saying it still had outstanding debts from hosting the 1994 Asian Games.
Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara, the driving force behind the 2016 bid, said his government would provide full support.
"There is no point in bidding if you don't win," said Ishihara. "The Tokyo metropolitan government will give blood, sweat and tears to provide money and facilities."
Several major international sporting events in Japan were canceled because of a nuclear crisis triggered by the earthquake and tsunami, but Japan's Olympic Committee vowed that would not influence a potential Olympic bid.
A North Korean official, meanwhile, has expressed hope that his country could co-host the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics with South Korea.
North Korean International Olympic Committee member Chang Ung made the comment last week after arriving in Tokyo for the regional Olympic committee meeting, Yonhap news agency said.
South Korean presidential spokeswoman Sohn Jie-ae told reporters Wednesday that Seoul isn't considering co-hosting. "Our bid was not for a joint Winter Olympics with North Korea," she said.
Pyeongchang is in northeast South Korea near the demilitarized zone that separates the two nations. Its province was cut into North and South Korean sides after the 1950-53 Korean War.
The head of South Korea's main opposition party said earlier this week that he favored allowing North Korea to co-host the 2018 Olympics. His comment came days after the ruling party agreed to push for a joint team of athletes from both Koreas at the Pyeongchang Olympics.
Yonhap also quoted Chang as saying military and political tensions between the Koreas should ease so they don't impact the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
Animosity between the rival Koreas remains high after the North bombarded a South Korean island last year, killing four people.
The countries haven't fielded a joint Olympic team or co-hosted a major international sporting event before. But their athletes marched together at the opening of the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics.

Don't be deceived—the Radiant Floor Lamp is no radiator—although it will probably supply some heat when turned on. Instead, it is a quirky and unique light fixture, as its name suggests. The lengthy, u-shaped fluorescent bulbs have been cleverly assembled in such a way as to resemble old apartment radiators.
Created by industrial designer Steve Faletti, the Radiant Floor Lamp will add character to any home. As though concentrating on the word 'fun' in 'functional,' this lamp even turns on using a standard water spigot valve handle, just like an actual radiator. Faletti writes, "It is part of a series exploring our relationship to the objects and technologies that provide us with ample and ubiquitous interior light." It gives new meaning to light fixtures.

When I was first invited to take a holiday to The Somme, the area was totally unknown to me … but it was to become a personal journey of discovery for which I will be forever grateful.
After discussing the trip with my family I was told that my uncle had served in the British forces during the First World War in that area.
The 1914-18 war was known as The Great War. Today's generation may not be fully aware of this dreadful period and my visit was to open up such awful stories of frightful suffering and trench-fighting that my pilgrimage seemed to be the appropriate thing to do.
I was lucky to be an invitee of the Royal Anglian Regiment's visit in May which was arranged to start from the south of England, travelling by coach, via the Eurotrain.
We had the privilege of being joined by serving Vikings (the nickname given to The Royal Anglian Regiment, an infantry regiment of the British Army) recently returned from Afghanistan.
Our base was Alfred, a central French town close to The Somme River and estuary. The planned route was to take into account all the main battles and activity witnessed in that region.
Settling into our hotel, the Hotel Ibis Albert, we were given a presentation of the organised activities to come.
The following morning we drove to the Museum of the Somme Albert. This was the town where the French managed to halt the progress of the advancing German army during early 1914 – Albert, therefore, became the centre of the subsequent Somme battles.
Both the British and the French armies defended Alfred but the Germans still heavily shelled the town. The beautiful Basilica, with a gilded statue known as the Golden Virgin, was also badly damaged and the story goes that if the statue fell, then the war would continue. Fortunately, the statue remained intact until the end of the war.
The various battles in the region included the Battle for Thiepval, the attack on the Schwaban Redoubt, the Battle for Vimy Ridge, the Battle for Longueval and Delvile Wood, the Battle for Ribecourt and the Battle for Trones Wood.
Our visits to the museum gave an insight into the ferocious trench fighting, each army taking strips of land, and then losing them to the enemy, only to try again to regain what they had lost.
We visited all the memorials built to commemorate the sacrifices made by the soldiers – British, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders and South Africans. They are maintained by these individual countries.
At each memorial, our group laid wreaths in remembrance with Standards and bugler and we also had a travelling Service Padre (chaplain).
We had a most memorable visit to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission who showed us how all the cemeteries are maintained.
The main purpose of this visit was to find the grave of my uncle who was killed in action. I had been given details and paperwork to trace his grave. When we found it, we laid the flowers of remembrance we had brought.
It was a great feeling of accomplishment as there were so very many. We felt lucky to find the family grave. At each cemetery there is a box with a book for anyone to fill in their visit details highlighting who they have come to find. The organisation was incredible.
For anyone who has a long lost relative who fell during The Great War, take the time to go and search. It's very sad but necessary.
Next year will mark the war's 100th anniversary.
– Yvonne Trueman MBE

Hi, I'm trying to figure out if I should tile above the window. I was planning on it, but now I'm second guessing myself. We have a small kitchen. I painted the cabs and my husband is tiling. They are ivory beveled. Thanks for any insight. |
Here is a link that might be useful: tiling
Follow-Up Postings:
I think tiling above the window will make your space look smaller. I wouldn't do it for now and live with it for a while. You can always add that tile later. Nice kitchen BTW |
- Posted by rococogurl (My Page) on Thu, Apr 25, 13 at 17:14
I think it will create a focal point and look great! |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Thu, Apr 25, 13 at 17:15
I would say no because the gaps on either side of the window appear to be too small to put tile on and it might look a bit odd to leave them just painted as they are now. If you are going to tile the entire wall, the tile should continue up the wall and surround the sides of the window as well. From what I can see, you don't have enough space there. IMHO only, of course. |
Thanks for the suggestions thus far. Thankfully, my husband has given me the rest of the night to decide and will start again tomorrow when he gets home from work. There is enough of a gap that my husband is able to put tiles between the cabs and the window, if that helps. He is a guy that I can only get to do things once, if you know what I mean. It's now or never. :) All the pictures I see online have windows with no curtains. Maybe, to make the area look larger. But, we definitely need a cafe curtain (which I haven't made yet.) I don't like people looking in through the back. Our neighborhood's walkways are behind the houses and everyone always spies up at the homes. I have to make sure our doors are shut and things semi put away (you can see everything!) And, we are messy! Anyway, I thought that running the tile up might make it look larger as there is more white rather than the gray. But, maybe I'm mistaken. Thanks again! |
I would tile above; I think it will be pretty. But can you post a shot from further back? Showing more of the whole space? it might affect the answer. |
I think the area above your window would look so pretty with an antique tole tray or three pretty, antique plates, or a framed print hanging there. It would make for a much more interesting focal point than plain tile. |
I added a couple more, but that's all I have right now. @ Holly-kay, I know. That's my problem. I can't decide if I want to do something over it such as a picture or something. Ugh! |
I vote for no tile above... |
I would. (Disclaimer: I'm no design guru.) |
I'm also going with no. I think the proportions of your window to wall is such that it will be better with the tile where it is now. |
My vote is no. I like it sometimes but not seeing it with your picture. That being said, I am not a designer and I say - Go with what your heart says :-) |
- Posted by francoise47 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 7:16
My vote is not to tile above the window. I know that tiling all the way up to the ceiling and around the window is on trend right now, and industrial-inspired look that also harkens back to the fully-tiled kitchens of the 1920s (at least hear in the mid-Atlantic where I live) But I don't think tiling all the way up is the right choice for your kitchen. I also think it is nice to have some wall for paint, something that can be changed more easily over the years than tile. |
- Posted by treasuretheday (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 8:00
My vote would be no. I don't think there is enough of a visual connection between the space above the window and below so I would treat them separately. Using a wall color that is similar to your tile color would help your space look larger and more cohesive, IMHO. |
- Posted by localeater (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 8:06
I vote no. I think it will look too busy in the space. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 12:12
Another no. You may want to add artwork, a shelf, blinds, a totally different paint color, whatever at one point in the future. Plus, I think it will look kind of claustrophobic with tile between the cabinets. |
- Posted by jerzeegirl (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 12:25
I don't think you should tile above the window. It will make the window look squat and make the ceiling seem low (and heavy). It looks nice the way it is. |
How about a distance shot? |
I don't think I would either. I'm afraid it would detract from your window moulding which is pretty and make the area too fussy. I like it as is. |

I'm not seeing the picture, but would like to since we have an Ikea close by. |
That's pretty cool...bet they never envisioned it being used like that! |
How perfect! I kept thinking I had seen a popup hamper with a zipper somewhere. I just could not remember where. Now that I know, I will definitely get a couple of them on my next visit. They will be perfect to give to some of the kids I share caterpillars with. I don't mind spending $7 when it inspires a love of nature. Looks like I have another reason to go to Ikea! |
Actually, the top closes with a Velcro fastener. I wish it were a zipper, since there could potentially be some little gaps at the top. |

Very pretty ... cushy caterpillar condo! If you plan for the cats to pupate in the container, please consider placing some tall twigs, secured in a heavy based container so that the twigs don't move about, inside for the little cats to pupate on. They seem to like the rough feel of a zipper or the edge of an opening and will sometimes choose that spot to attach to. If this happens, it's next to impossible to get the container opened to clean and place fresh food. Been there, done that. :-) Mary |
- Posted by misssherry Z8/9SE MS (My Page) on Fri, Aug 23, 13 at 15:40
That looks great! Sherry |
Mary, You are so right! It almost happened to me, but I lucked out. I thought I might have to cut a hole in the side! They seem to have decided to pupate on the inner rim of the cage, the part where the lid rests. so I can still open the top. At this point all three have pupated in a safe spot, but for future reference I will definitely do what you suggest! Liz |

Angelina Is A
Huge Fan Of Kate
It seemed as if the whole world went royal family mad in 2011 with the wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton, and Hollywood star Angelina Jolie was no exception. According to The Sun, Jolie is a big fan of the royal couple and even has a photo of them in the house where she lives with Brad Pitt.
The Changeling actress has been so impressed with Kate Middleton that she is reportedly planning to make a film about the new English princess. The story of a normal girl who becomes a princess is a fairytale that has been the subject of many hit movies, so Kate's life would be perfect for a film adaptation. Although a small budget film about Middleton's romance with Prince William was released in 2011, no major Hollywood movies have been made about the young couple so far.
However, William's grandmother, the Queen, has been the subject of many films and TV shows, having been played by actresses including Helen Mirren and Emma Thompson over the years. There is also a new film set to be released this year about Queen Elizabeth and her sister Margaret in their teenage years, but the actress playing Elizabeth is yet to be announced.

"These were delicious. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I like the fact that I don't have to use yeast and wait to make the doughnuts. Great rolled in cinnamon sugar or plain!

"I used 1/2 cup oil instead of butter and 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. I baked for 28 minutes because at 25 min they were still too soft.
I was really afraid of overbaking but I think next time I might try 30 minutes just to get them more chewy. Yes there will be a next time! I can just imagine how good they would be using butter...."
"I know this recipe does not need another review, but I just wanted to say that I also used 3/4 cup of oil and skipped the powdered sugar and they were a big hit! I used a small scoop for the dough, I didn't roll it with my hands. I just increased the oil because with another "cake mix" cookie recipe I ended up with dry crumbly cookies. This rec..."
"This was a very different treat for us. I've never really made anything like it before so my whole family thought it was quite unique but they enjoyed it. I added some mozarella cheese as well and added just a touch of balsamic vinegar to the onions. Unfortunately, I could not find fresh rosemary so I had to use dried. I just sprinkled it over..."
"We really enjoyed this. I did dip the fish in flour before dipping in batter. I only made the fish portion of this recipe with "recipe#87421". I did add some garlic powder, chili powder and freshly ground black pepper to the batter. I will be using this recipe again. Thank you!"
"Easy to make and much better than any fast food fish restaurant! I didn't have onion salt so I had to add a bit more salt after tasting the first batch. Also just used a half of a diced white onion since I didn't have any green onions on hand. Still delicious! I would love to try this with some jalapeno as other reviewers mentioned."
"I really wanted to make this recipe but I didn't have oats or cornbread stuffing on hand. I just used a mixture of bread crumbs and cornflake crumbs. I think I might add some red pepper flakes next time for a little kick but my husband enjoyed them as is. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Always looking for a good veggie burger as we are trying ..."
"This is the second recipe I've tried from Rita and it's wonderful. Easy to make and very delicious. I added the garlic a couple of minutes before the mushrooms.

You can't expect miracles when it comes to Xbox Live Arcade role-playing games, particularly those snipped from the flanks of the woolly mammoth that is Dungeons & Dragons. Unless you're BioWare, and able to call on resources worthy of the mighty Tutankhamen, you're looking at two possible outcomes: your game will be either a sagging beige heap of poorly communicated background lore, or an ungainly scaffold of bugs and niggles. In a neat twist, Bedlam's Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale is both.
The premise sees a dwarven cleric, Halfling mage, elven rogue and human warrior scaling a tower to quash the latest Dark Lord infestation, aided by those NPCs that aren't merchants, quest-givers or mystifyingly invisible save for their weapons.
Waves of undead, goblins, dark knights and the like spawn with punishing disregard for your sense of fairness, but you can duff them up pretty easily by retreating to the nearest stairwell and using ranged attacks while your adversaries trundle robotically against the lower step. That's assuming some coding hiccup doesn't root you to the spot, and assuming the enemy isn't a bowman, or a sorcerer with the revival ability.
Mashy primary attacks give way to a pleasantly varied roster of secondary powers, including a mystical ground pound for clerics and a leg swipe for warriors. The graphics engine saves its best tricks for such moments, but the odd show of stardust and swishy blade highlight can't redeem Daggerdale's brown corridors, grey flagstones and ham-fisted clay-mation character models. New apparel, gear and weapons don't help much with the latter, though they do incentivise exploration in a way the game's unending tunnels and fetch-quests seldom manage.
Teaming up with other players online should be the jewel in Daggerdale's crown, but is hamstrung by bad matchmaking, latency and - nastiest of all - mid-mission loading breaks. Same sofa two-player also has its trials, with participants obliged to stick close together.
There's enough substance nonetheless to keep a band of determined adventurers occupied for a weekend, but with Torchlight doing the rounds for the same price, solo dungeon crawlers should sit this one out.
Download the game here for 1200 MSP.
A grind in more ways than one

This second hand smoking campaign comes out of Texas and points out the downside of smoking in relation to eating and drinking. Second hand smoke is a major cause of lung cancer, which is why more attention is being paid to preventing it.
Restaurant owners are targeted with one of these ads. It features a hamburger made of cigarettes and is accompanied by a caption reading "Secondhand smoke is ruining the experience for some of your guests. That's costing you money."
This is an interesting angle to take in a second hand smoking campaign because it actually isn't appealing to anyone's desire for good health, but instead focusing on the economic impact of second hand smoke.
The other items in this campaign focus on the health effects.

Barbara of New York,NY, writes:
Hi, I purchased and received a Greenhurst Firm Signature mattress after much research. It was manufactured by the Sealy Mattress Company in Paterson, NJ with the model # 504790. The mattress is supposed to be 13.5" in height but mine measures 11". What did I get? Also have an indentation where I have slept (only slept on it for 3 nights and I weigh 130 pounds)! Have also been outgassing it for a week - frustrated and concerned. Please advise. Many thanks.Barbara, NYC.
Hi Barbara. The model numbers are different for every store, so I can't tell that way. The smell could be coming from the foam not being properly cured. It isn't a normal occurance, but it does happen from time to time. Call the store where you got it and let them know about the smell and the height. It is short for that model. Have them order you a new one fresh from the factory.

The Emerson Hospital Auxiliary recently hosted its 85th annual meeting at the Nashawtuc Country Club. Denise Haartz, outgoing Auxiliary president, convened the business portion of the meeting. Each attendee was given a special program book reviewing the history of the Auxiliary. Haartz also introduced nine past presidents of the Auxiliary.
The Auxiliary's year-end gift, combined with the hospital's gift shop contribution, was $205,000. The gift was presented by Denise Haartz to John M. Lowe, III, Ph.D., chairman of the Emerson Hospital Board of Directors; Donna Grinnell, gift shop coordinator; and Sharon Knox, director of community services. This year's donation included $5,572 in funds raised by a group of middle school students, Kidz Helping Kidz. The funds donated will contribute to a variety of programs at Emerson, including Bethke Cancer Center services, the pediatric intervention team, cardiac rehabilitation, transport wheelchairs, and caregiver scholarships.
Haartz also honored the many Auxiliary members who gave their time in 2009 to support patients at Emerson. Some of their contributions include "anti-ouch pouch pillows" (pillows that are hand-made and can be worn under the arm to minimize the discomfort of cancer therapy or surgery) and quilts, which were sewn and donated for cancer patients, and more than 800 teddy bears and 169 pillowcases, which were given to the pediatric intervention team.
During the meeting, Christine Schuster, president and CEO of Emerson Hospital, thanked the Auxiliary for the year-end gift and expressed her appreciation for the many members and their activities in support of Emerson.
Nancy Kingman, past president of the Auxiliary, introduced the new roster of Auxiliary officers for the 2009-2010 term (Anne Lehmann, president; Maryrose Sykes, treasurer; and Sally Bradford, secretary). The meeting also included a moving presentation by NewsCenter 5's Kelley Tuthill, who chronicled her personal journey as a breast cancer survivor.
