What would happen if someone did the unthinkable-and didn't deliver a letter? Filled with stunning parallels to today, The Postmistress is a sweeping novel about the loss of innocence of two extraordinary women-and of two countries torn apart by war.
Sarah Blake lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband, the poet Josh Weiner, and their two sons.
Susan Stamberg gathers recommendations from booksellers Rona Brinlee, Lucia Silva and Daniel Goldin. Their selections for summertime reading include books about small-town America, a polygamist father in over his head, and a postmistress in New England during World War II. More at NPR.org

The Postmistress, a new novel by Sarah Blake, tells two stories set during the early days of World War II. In the first, an American radio reporter sends back dispatches from London during the Blitz, and in the second, two residents of a small Massachusetts town respond to those reports. More at NPR.org

- Much of The Postmistress is centered on Frankie's radio broadcasts—either Frankie broadcasting them, or the other characters listening to them. How do you think the experience of listening to the news via radio in the 1940s differs from our experience of getting news from the television or the internet? What is the difference between hearing news and seeing pictures, or reading accounts of news? Do you think there is something that the human voice conveys that the printed word cannot?

He also acknowledged that Sandusky's behavior and his showering with young boys was "kind of strange" but said it was not sexual abuse.
Mitt Romney says Barack Obama's "Forward" slogan is absurd. And so is the notion that he wants to reduce the number of police, firefighters and teachers. Absurdity.
The LA Times says Obama's complicated message will pose a challenge to convey, especially against Romney's simple argument: Y'all mad and it's Obama's fault.
Obama's counter-argument is layered with nuance and complexity.
It starts with an attempt to undercut Romney. As a corporate buyout executive, Romney shipped jobs overseas and reaped millions of dollars in fees from takeover deals that destroyed U.S. factory jobs, the Obama campaign says. As Massachusetts governor, Romney built a poor record on job creation, the argument continues.
Turning to his own record, Obama tells voters that he inherited an economy on the brink of collapse and averted a depression. He takes credit for a resurgence in manufacturing, the rescue of the automobile industry and the creation of more than 4 million jobs since February 2010.
Obama also slams Republicans in Congress for blocking his plans to stimulate more jobs. To inoculate himself from potential setbacks over the summer and fall, he warns of economic trouble spilling over from Europe.
In the end, Obama says, he would keep the country moving forward while Romney would take it back to the George W. Bush policies that wrecked the economy in the first place.

The mayor, Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) and The Strive Partnership announced today a new joint initiative that won a $40,000 grant. The grant, which is funded by Target through the Cities of Service and Service Nation, will help tutors teach kids how to read by the third grade.
Mayor Mark Mallory made the announcement in a joint press statement with CPS Superintendent Mary Ronan and The Strive Partnership Executive Director Greg Landsman.
With the money, 50 tutors will help 100 students in first, second and third grade in five schools to meet the state's new Third Grade Reading Guarantee, which requires third-grade students to be proficient in reading in state tests before advancing to the fourth grade.
"It all starts with reading," Mallory said in a statement. "And there is no better way to help our kids learn to read than with one-on-one tutors who they can get to know and trust. A committed adult can make learning to read fun. This grant is going to have a huge impact on the lives of a lot of kids."
The tutors will focus on five CPS schools: Roberts Paideia Academy in East Price Hill, Rockdale Academy in Avondale, Mt. Airy School, Pleasant Hill Academy in College Hill and Pleasant Ridge Montessori School.
Cincinnati was one of eight cities to win the grant. The other winners are Atlanta, Ga.; Baltimore, Md.; Charleston, S.C.; Chula Vista, Calif.; Kansas City, Mo.; Orlando, Fla.; and Vicksburg, Miss.
The new state reading requirement, which was pushed by Republican Gov. John Kasich, has received criticism from some Democrats and education experts. Research shows holding kids back hurts more
than helps. After reviewing decades of research, the National Association of
School Psychologists found grade retention has "deleterious long-term
effects," both academically and socially.
Supporters of low income housing programs are criticizing a bill proposed by U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Westwood). Chabot's proposal would impose restrictions on people who use the federal Section 8 housing program, which provides vouchers to help poor people pay their rent. Among his changes, people only would be able to use the program for five years. In Cincinnati, however, 53 percent of clients already leave the program within five years. Of the 47 percent who remain, many of them have problems like mental health issues and likely would become homeless and more expensive to deal with for the government, a housing advocate told The Enquirer.
To prepare for an influx of foreign visitors when the World Choir Games begin here in July, a new language translation tool is being launched.

It's been 147 years since the U.S. Civil War ended, but Kentucky lawmakers are just now getting around to abolishing a pension fund for Confederate veterans. The measure, which passed Kentucky's House of Representatives unanimously on Feb. 29, now heads to the state Senate for a vote. No one who is eligible to receive the pension has been alive for at least 50 years, lawmakers said. I guess things really do move more slowly in the South.
Business at the venerable Blue Wisp Jazz Club has increased since it moved to a new location at Seventh and Race streets in January. The club's owners attribute the jump to more pedestrian traffic and the number of hotels located near the new site. The front room includes a bar and restaurant accessible with no cover charge, while the back room is reserved for performances by Jazz musicians.
Steep spikes and drops on standardized test scores, a pattern that has indicated cheating in Atlanta and other cities across the nation, have occurred in hundreds of school districts and charter schools across Ohio in the past seven years, a Dayton Daily News analysis found. The analysis doesn't prove cheating has occurred in Ohio, but documents show state officials don't employ vigorous statistical analyses to catch possible cheating, discipline only about a dozen teachers a year and direct Ohio's test vendor to spend just $17,540 on analyzing suspicious scores out of its $39 million annual testing contract.
In news elsewhere, the U.S. Supreme Court begins its constitutional review of the health-care overhaul law today with a basic question: Is the court barred from making such a decision at this time? The justices will hear 90 minutes of argument about whether an obscure 19th-century law — the Anti-Injunction Act — means that the court cannot pass judgment on the law until its key provisions go into effect in 2014.
When it recently was announced that a U.S. soldier who allegedly went on a shooting spree in Afghanistan would be charged with 17 counts of murder, many people wondered about the number. After all, early reports indicated Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, a Norwood native, allegedly killed 16 people. Military officials decided to charge Bales with murder for the death of the unborn baby of one of the victims, a senior Afghan police official said today.
In a possibly related incident, a gunman in an Afghan army uniform killed two NATO soldiers today at a base in southern Afghanistan, NATO's International Security Assistance Force has said. Details were still sketchy, but NATO said in a statement that an individual wearing an Afghan soldier's uniform had turned his weapon against international troops. Coalition forces then returned fire, killing the gunman.
China and the United States have agreed to coordinate their response to any "potential provocation" if North Korea goes ahead with a planned rocket launch, the White House says. North Korea says the long-range rocket will carry a satellite, but U.S. officials say any launch would violate United Nations resolutions and be a missile test.
Somehow, 71-year-old Dick Cheney managed to get a heart transplant Saturday after spending nearly two years on a list waiting for a suitable organ to become available. Cheney, a former U.S. vice president and — some would say — unindicted war criminal, got the transplant even as much younger, healthier people continue to wait for a new heart. (My guess is he made a pact with Beelzebub.) Cheney has had five heart attacks over the years, the first occurring at age 37.
A survey released April 29 found Ohio schools are making cutbacks in response to budget cuts previously approved by Republican Gov. John Kasich and the Republican-controlled Ohio legislature.
The 15-question survey from left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio, which received responses from 42 percent of the state's K-12 school districts in 82 counties, found 70 percent of Ohio schools made cuts for the ongoing 2012-2013 school year, 82 percent cut positions, 84 percent reduced or froze compensation and 62 percent expect budget shortfalls next year if the state doesn't increase funding.
"Long-term investment in education is the best way to build opportunity for Ohioans," said Piet van Lier, education researcher at Policy Matters Ohio, in a statement. "Instead, Ohio's cuts to school funding have forced schools to get rid of staff, reduce pay, cut materials and increase class sizes."
The survey found the cuts have led to a reduction in
education quality, with 43 percent of Ohio schools reporting larger
class sizes, 23 percent reporting less course options, 57 percent
cutting materials, supplies, textbooks or equipment for the 2012-2013
school year and 22 percent reducing extracurricular activities or introducing pay-to-play for them.
Policy Matters and Innovation Ohio, another left-leaning think tank, previously found Kasich's 2012-2013 budget slashed education funding by $1.8 billion.
In his latest budget proposal, Kasich proposed increasing education funding, although in a way that disproportionately benefited wealthier school districts ("Smoke and Mirrors," issue of Feb. 20). Since then, the Ohio House passed its own budget bill that rejects Kasich's proposal and increases overall school funding in a more equitable way.But Policy Matters says the increases aren't enough. Its analysis found school funding is failing to keep up with inflation, with 2015 funding projected to fall $1.2 billion short of what funding would have looked like if it had kept up with 2006's inflation-adjusted levels.
"Neither Gov. Kasich nor the Ohio House have adequately addressed the needs of Ohio's schools in their budget proposals," van Lier said in a statement. "The Senate must now lead the way in crafting a stronger, more predictable funding system for the next two years and beyond."
Cincinnati Public Schools said state funding cuts were one reason the school district needed Cincinnati voters to approve a school levy in 2012 ("Battered But Not Broken," issue of Oct. 3). The levy, known as Issue 42, passed in the November election.
Innovation Ohio previously found Kasich's budget cuts have led to levies all around the state, effectively increasing local taxes by $1.3 billion since May 2011.
"By cutting taxes primarily for the wealthy at the state level, Gov. Kasich and the Republican-controlled legislature have merely pushed the need for tax increases down to the local level," said Janetta King, president of Innovation Ohio, in a statement.
Kasich spokesperson Rob Nichols previously told CityBeat that the cuts were necessary to balance the budget, as required by state law. "The reality is we walked into an $8 billion budget deficit," he said. "We had to fix that."
Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) got six F's, one D and two C's in the 2012-2013 school report card released today by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE).
The school district got an F for state test results, closing gaps related to income, race, culture and disabilities, progress among gifted students, progress among students with disabilities and both categories for graduation rates, which measure how many students graduated within four or five years.
CPS also got a D for progress among students who started out in the bottom fifth for achievement, and it got a C for progress among all student groups and how many students passed state tests.
The grades come with a big caveat: CPS is still being investigated for scrubbing data, which could be favorably skewing the school district's results.
This is the first year ODE is using the new A-F grading system, which is more stringent than how schools were previously scored. No school district earned straight A's this year, according to StateImpact Ohio.
Because the system is new, some of the categories that schools are graded on are missing and will be added in the next few years. Specifically, the report card won't measure overall results for the district, test scores, gap closing, K-3 literacy, progress, graduation rates and preparation for college and careers until 2015.
Under the old system, CPS dropped from "effective," which made it the best-rated urban school district in Ohio for the 2010-2011 school year, to "continuous improvement" for 2011-2012. Those results are also under review based on data-scrubbing investigations.
CPS has recently gained national recognition in The Huffington Post and The New York Times for its community learning centers, which turn schools into hubs that can be used by locals for resources ranging from education to dental care.
In November 2012, Cincinnati voters approved a levy renewal for CPS in a 65-35 percent vote, which kept local property taxes roughly $253 higher on a $100,000 home.
The official website for the school report cards can be found here, but it's been having technical problems for most of the day.
In support of Ohio's charter school and voucher programs, conservatives point to the wonders of "school choice." But a new Policy Matters Ohio report revealed school choice may not be the boon supporters make it out to be.
Citing a study from Community Research Partners, the Policy Matters report found the extra mobility enabled by school choice programs can lead to a worse education. Students who changed schools frequently performed worse than their peers, and the higher mobility can also put a strain on teachers and staff by forcing them to make accommodations for new students.
The Policy Matters report pointed out the two findings directly contradict the basis for more school choice: "School choice advocates envision parents and students acting as consumers in an education marketplace, trying out different schools until they find one that 'fits,' but as this study shows, the movement this implies clearly has far-reaching effects on teaching and student learning."
The report also looked through previous literature to gauge charter schools' academic results. Research from the Rand Corporation and Stanford University's Center for Research on Education Outcomes found only 17 percent of charter schools performed better than traditional public schools. Compared to their public school counterparts, charter school students did worse in math and showed no difference in reading.
An analysis of Ohio's 2011-2012 achievement test scores by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute found only 6 percent of charter schools met the state goal of having a performance index of 100 or higher and only 10 percent rated excellent or above.
The Policy Matters report attributes the poor academic results to faulty regulations. Lax rules and oversights were uncovered by a report from the Rand Corporation. In another report, Policy Matters unveiled poor oversight and loopholes in Ohio state law, which CityBeat covered here.
Poor academic results also applied to voucher programs. An in-depth look
at Cleveland's voucher program from the Center for Evaluation and Education
Policy found voucher-toting students performed at the same level as students who did not use vouchers.
Around the state, public school students outperformed voucher students in third to eighth grade achievement tests, according to the Policy Matters report. Students in public schools did better in math, while both types of students had mixed results in reading.
Voucher programs have been particularly controversial because they can end up subsidizing private, religious schools — possibly violating separation of church and state.
A new report from left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio shows the impact of state budget cuts on individual counties. Statewide, more than $1 billion in tax reimbursements and the Local Government Fund was cut between the 2010-2011 budget, which was passed by Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland, and the 2012-2013 budget, which was passed by Republican Gov. John Kasich. Additionally, Ohio's estate tax — a tax that affected only 8 percent of Ohioans, largely those at top income levels — was eliminated, killing off a crucial source of funding. Hamilton County, its jurisdiction, schools, services and levies lost $222.1 million. Health and human services lost $23.2 million. Children's services lost $4.6 million, and the county children's agency services "was sent into financial crisis." In total, more than 5,000 local government jobs were lost in the area.
The Center for Closing the Health Gap is launching a campaign to raise awareness about food deserts in Cincinnati. Food deserts are areas, particularly neighborhoods, where full-service grocery stores aren't readily available to residents. The campaign hopes to raise awareness and funding to combat the food deserts in the Cincinnati area. With a funding target of $15 million, the organization plans to help build smaller stores with close ties to the local communities.
A new study from Cincinnati Children's Hospital resurfaced Greater Cincinnati's nuclear weapons legacy. Between the 1950s and 1980s, residents of nearby farm communities were unaware they were being exposed to radioactive materials in the air, water and soil from a Cold War era nuclear weapons plant, located 18 miles northwest of Cincinnati. Apparently, the exposure has led to higher rates of systemic lupus in the area.
Greater Cincinnati's economic recovery could be slowed or boosted by policy, but it will outpace the nation's economic recovery, according to local economists. Still, the economists caution that there is a lot of uncertainty due to oil prices, the fiscal cliff — a series of tax hikes and budget cuts scheduled to be made at the start of 2013 if U.S. Congress doesn't act — and the fiscal crisis in Europe.
Cincinnati's small businesses are more upbeat about the economy. Eleven percent of local family firms expect the economy to improve, but whether that translates to business expansions remains to be seen.
CityLink Center is scheduled to open today. The initial plans for the facility sought to help the homeless with health services, overnight shelter, food, temporary housing and child care. At one point, the center's opening was threatened due to legal challenges regarding zoning.
Hostess, maker of Twinkies, says it will close down three bakeries, including one in Cincinnati, due to a national strike. According to reports, union workers walked off the job after a new contract cut their wages and benefits. Hostess insists the factory shutdowns will not affect customers.
Top Cincinnati mortgage lenders saw double-digit increases between Sept. 1, 2011 and Aug. 30, 2012. The rise is yet another positive sign for the housing market, which collapsed during the latest financial crisis and recession.
The state agency in charge of higher education released a report highlighting 20 recommendations to improve degree completion in Ohio. Some of the recommendations from the Board of Regents: Adopt more uniform statewide rules regarding college completion and career readiness, push stronger collaboration and alignment in education from preschool through senior year in college, establish a new system of high school assessment to improve readiness for college, and improve flexibility. The board will attempt to turn the report into reality in cooperation with university and state officials.
Too much school choice may be a bad thing. A new study found Ohio's varied education system, which offers vouchers for private schools and charter schools as alternatives to a traditional public school, may have passed "a point where choice actually becomes detrimental to overall academic performance."
The Ohio Farm Bureau (OFB) issued an action alert on Saturday telling members to oppose privatizing the Ohio Turnpike. The Ohio state government, led by Kasich, is currently studying possible plans to privatize the turnpike. In a video, an OFB member argues the current turnpike management is fine.

New York City Vice Mayor Richard Buery is in Cincinnati today and tomorrow touring the city's groundbreaking community learning centers. He's in town to glean best practices from CPS as New York Public Schools ramps up its own community learning center program.
"What Cincinnati does, that they have probably done better than any other city, certainly better than New York at this time, is not just to have a collection of great community schools, but to have a system of community schools," Buery said to reporters in New York Monday. "I want to see what it means for a city to build a system of community schools. What did that take in terms of the political will, in terms of how different city agencies and the private sector have to work together."
Cincinnati has gotten a lot of attention for its community learning centers, including write-ups in the The New York Times, NPR and other national publications. The centers, usually established in low-income neighborhoods, contain a number of services for the whole community — dental and vision clinics, mental health therapists, after school programs and more. The city started with eight learning centers and now CPS has them in 34 of its 55 schools.
The model has led to increased cooperation between the city, the school system, neighborhoods around the schools and private enterprise. Last month, the city announced a partnership between Powernet, a Cincinnati-area tech company, and CPS to provide free wireless access to the neighborhood of Lower Price Hill around Oyler School, one of the city's most recognized community learning centers in one of the city's most low-income neighborhoods. The school is the subject of a documentary film, called simply Oyler, following the school and neighborhood's progress.
City leaders expressed excitement about the visit.
"It never hurts to be aware that mighty New York City is here to see some of the good things happening in Cincinnati, especially with our school system," Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld said today. Sittenfeld said Cincinnati City Manager Harry Black will meet with Buery on Thursday.
Buery is in town with Michael Mulgrew, president of the United Federation of Teachers. The UFT represents more than 300,000 teachers in New York City.
New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio was one of four mayoral candidates to visit Cincinnati last summer at Mulgrew's invitation. He made bringing Cincinnati's model to New York City a major talking point of his campaign, saying it had "unlimited potential." DeBlasio wants to model 100 schools in the city after Cincinnati's learning centers.
Council Member Chris Seelbach says he's getting impatient with streetcar delays. During a series of complaints aired on Twitter, Seelbach wrote the deadline for streetcar operation should be the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 2015. This week's CityBeat cover story explains some of the delays and how the streetcar relates to the 2013 mayor's race.
The Pentagon is planning to lift the ban on women in combat situations. U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the decision came after a recommendation from his Joint Chiefs of Staff. Between the end of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and this decision, President Barack Obama's administration has been one of the most inclusive when it comes to the military.
The Ohio Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case questioning the constitutionality of JobsOhio. Policy group ProgressOhio says it might be illegal to use state liquor profits to fund JobsOhio, a private nonprofit organization Gov. John Kasich set up to drive economic growth in the state.
The Major League Baseball All-Star Game could bring $60-$80 million to Cincinnati, according to Julie Heath, director of the University of Cincinnati's Economics Center. It was recently announced Cincinnati will host the game in 2015.
Gov. Kasich said he won't oust State Board of Education President Debe Terhar after she made a Facebook post comparing Obama to Adolf Hitler. Kasich is happy she admitted it was a mistake, and he said he will leave it at that. Democrats called for her ousting Tuesday.

The Duckbilled Platypus
Early woodcut of a platypus
Despite Shaw's doubts about the reality of the animal, he gave it a name: Platypus anatinus, or flatfoot duck. The scientific name was later changed to Ornithorhynchus anatinus, but it popularly remained known as the Duckbilled Platypus.
A duckbilled platypus in the wild
It was only when more platypus specimens arrived in England that naturalists finally, grudgingly, granted that the creature was real. This made the platypus one of the more famous instances of a hoax that proved not to be a hoax after all.

My great uncle has a stuffed one of these and it looks really fake. I can understand why there were doubts. I do think my uncle is trying to pull a hoax though, he claims that his particular platypus once belonged to Thomas Edison. It is ratty and smelly and old, but come on...

The duckbilled platypus is the best argument against so-called "intelligent design" that I've seen, in the wild and with my own two eyes!
Posted by Stef in New Zealand on Mon Dec 17, 2007 at 02:52 PM
The Platypus is one of the coolest creatures ever! They also lay eggs in their pouch. I've grown up with these guys so they're not weird to me, highly intelligent and you could watch them for hours.

This is a knock off from someone else's bench I saw on a forum recently.
It's small, simple, and useful. I can move it all around the house and load in the basement, on the kitchen table (where the picture was taken) my tailgate at the range, or a buddies house. One thing I like about it is, I only have the gear and components I need at my fingertips with the bench, Everything else is in separate storage. Keeps it clean and simple. I tossed together in about an hour with a 1/4 sheet of plywood I had laying around: --Duck911 |

That is pretty nice being able to reload anywhere. Does it move around when you use the press?

The stand itself doesn't flex or bend when using the press. The entire stand is prone to move a little (for example, on the kitchen table when there's a table cloth) but I quickly figured out when and where to support the bench depending on the surface to keep it from happening. Within 100 rounds, it was a non-issue.

Here are some pictures of my bench. I had to buy the safe when my wife said no more "toys" until I got one so I made sure it was big enough to hold one or two more...
The room is in my basement, I got the chance to do the remodel when the Waterbed in it leaked and I discovered that the idiot (I mean previous home owner) had put in a open drain behind the wall board. Imagine my surprise when I found a weep holes cut into the wall above the floor so water could drain down it and to a sump. My first try at fixing it went bust since the water managed to push through 3 coats of dry lock. Which ruin the first set of walls and flooring... Called a dry basement contractor and had them do it the right way and haven't looked backed. The cabinets are unfinished cabinets available at Lowe's (Had to buy them their since I work for them...) Once they were in place I order a counter top from then and put it in. My only regret on the whole setup is the low ceiling but I can't do much about that. I still debating on if I have enough room to get the case feeder. Dave |

There is a good possibility that I will be there depends on if I can get the tire off my riding lawn mower and get the flat fixed so I can mow. (Otherwise I will need to use the self propelled lawn mower)
Barry spotted it at the Aisle Pawn and Gun store (more guns than Pawn...) and I couldn't pass it up. It is a Pedersoli reproduction that they had a price of $875 on it marked it down to seven something and when I asked what there best price was he said $600 plus tax and I said wrap it up... Now I just need to find some 75 caliber ball for it... Dave |

Ok I have just started the reloading thing about 4 months ago so here is my cheapo setup for now. As you might see I have some insulating to do to my little 12x24 aluminum building but it works for now. I hope these come through.

Note to bench builders - 3" deck screws are great for fastening the bench to the wall. No matter how sturdy your bench is, this will make it sturdier to load, particularly rifle rounds on a progressive press.
Dig the enthusiasm of this thread and am glad to see it still going strong. Also, home recycling centers are a great source for cheap cabinets to hang on the wall for storage. I found a garage worth's of upper cabinets for $70. Two of them are used for my reloading habit, and I need to go find more. Gave me more time for reloading as opposed to building reloading storage. I did build my own bench and fastened it to the wall as mentioned. Works great, without being fixed to the wall it just would be the same. This coming from a guy who spent fabricated his first several thousand rounds at the kitchen table.

I can second the deck screws, it helps all of your free-standing shelves and benches (not just for the reloading bench). I am also happy to see the thread going strong...gives me new ideas for improvements.

What, and let all those primers just roll over to the drain? That can't be a good idea. The drain for flood water is ok but to let primers roll into the drain is just asking for trouble.

1846--Clarke County was created 13 January 1846 from unorganized territory. It was attached to Lucas Kishkekosh Counties prior to organization 21 August 1851. County seat: Osceola [1]
Boundary Changes
Clarke County, like its neighbor Lucas County, spanned five townships from east to west in 1846. Both counties shrank to four townships across in 1847, requiring Clarke County's eastern border to shift six miles east while its western border shifted twelve miles east.[2] The area vacated by Clarke County, including Mt. Pisgah and its cemetery, was non-county area until it became part of Union County in 1851.

Valerie - yes that's where we were buying Duke's food before we switched to BB Freedom. We did buy a big bag of beef tendons there but they seemed to be *off*. They were very yellowish (as opposed to the darker brownish shade) and I think they gave Duke the runs! They smelled *off* too. I nkow those things don't smell nice to begin with but these were just extra nasty smelling so we threw them away. I would've taken them back to the store but we had already trashed the packaging and the receipts. What a waste...
The loose ones at the counter are more expensive but we'll only be buying those from now on! |

Yeah those are the ones that Bosley goes crazy for. They stick to high heaven but he absolutely loves them! lol He loves the chicken feet too. I'm trying to find some raw chicken feet here somewhere to see if he likes those just as much. They would be a lot cheaper than buying the dehydrated ones... |

5 Off the Beaten Path Honeymoon Destinations
Description:I would recommend for anyone planning their honeymoon to consider destinations that are a little outside of the box. You don't have to go to Europe, you don't have to go to the Caribbean. Try South America. For example, for Fernando de Noronha in Brazil is possibly the most romantic destination I've ever been to. It has beautiful beaches and snorkeling with sea turtles. (1:23)

Non- Scrapbook On-line Tutorials
Bio Rust
There are a lot of good tutorial sites outside of the digital scrap community. One site I like is Bio Rust. They have a lot of good tutorials on the basics of using PS but they also have some great ones on creating textures and special effects. http://www.biorust.com/ RNEL RNEL has an unbelievable number of tutorials from basic to advanced. You can learn how to create everything from lightening to frozen text. It would take days to work through all of them. Many might not directly apply to scrapbooking but they will demonstrate the things that you can do with PS and in the process inspire you to try different things. http://www.rnel.net/tutorials/Photoshop Enjoy, Julie :) |
Thanks Julie....going to bookmark this one!
Thank you Julie, found a few interesting tuts there.

Nothing is set in stone quite yet, but it sure looks like the AFC and NFC playoffs will travel through Denver and Seattle, respectively. The Seahawks appear especially untouchable in the standings, with a comfortable NFC West lead and wins over Carolina and New Orleans. MORE COVERAGE: Behind the scenes with refs | Mock Draft 3.1 | Coaching hot seat Everyone else is playing to get in -- or positioning themselves for the draft -- as the season hits the stretch run. Where they rank after Week 13 ... NFL Power Rankings 1Last Week: 1 Seattle Seahawks (11-1)An insanely loud home crowd only gets you so far -- the 2011 Seahawks, for example, finished 4-4 at home with Tarvaris Jackson as their QB. As proven by Monday's destruction of the Saints, this year's team has the talent to match that intensity. It will take a perfect playoff effort from some visiting team to keep the Seahawks from the Super Bowl. 2Last Week: 4 Carolina Panthers (9-3)The Panthers have not won a playoff game since 2005 and have not won a home playoff game since 2003. If they can beat the Saints this Sunday, they'll likely have a shot to end both droughts after a first-round bye. 3Last Week: 3 New England Patriots (9-3)The Tom Brady-led Patriots may not live or die based on who's at running back. But who's going to be the go-to guy there if New England needs to grind out the clock in the postseason? The carry totals over the past four weeks: LeGarrette Blount 24, Shane Vereen 21, Stevan Ridley 17, Brandon Bolden 16. 4Last Week: 5 Denver Broncos (10-2)Speaking of running backs, don't sleep on that Montee Ball performance Sunday in Kansas City. He rolled for 117 yards against a really good defense, and even if you take out a 45-yard scamper, he averaged 6.0 yards per carry. Knowshon Moreno probably cried gigantic tears of joy at the unexpected backfield help. 5Last Week: 7 San Francisco 49ers (8-4)The 49ers' only losses since mid-September are to Carolina (by one) and at New Orleans (by three). Especially with Michael Crabtree and Mario Manningham back on the field, no one wants to see the 49ers in the playoffs. 6Last Week: 2 New Orleans Saints (9-3)Very rare has been the game where Drew Brees looked as out of sorts as he did Monday in Seattle. The Saints' dramatic home/road splits -- 33.1 points per game and a 6-0 mark at home; 18.3 and 3-3 away -- should have them concerned with at least one road playoff game looming. 7Last Week: 9 Philadelphia Eagles (7-5)The latest evidence that Nick Foles and the Eagles offense are just sort of toying with the opposition right now: Zach Ertz's two-score showing Sunday was the first multi-TD game from an Eagles' tight end since Chad Lewis on Dec. 30, 2001. 8Last Week: 8 Cincinnati Bengals (8-4)The defense held a dangerous San Diego offense to 10 points Sunday while forcing three turnovers. That's the level of play Cincinnati will need moving forward, because it is hard to envision Andy Dalton outdueling Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or even Andrew Luck in the playoffs. 9Last Week: 6 Kansas City Chiefs (9-3)Alex Smith played a pretty strong game in Sunday's loss to Denver, just as he did in a Week 12 setback against San Diego. So is it good news or bad news for the Chiefs that Smith is not their most pressing concern right now? 10Last Week: 11 Dallas Cowboys (7-5)That the Cowboys are 4-0 against the NFC East, including a win over division co-leader Philadelphia, bodes pretty well considering they close with games against the Redskins and Eagles. 11Last Week: 16 Baltimore Ravens (6-6)OK, it took some doing but the reigning champs are back to .500 and in the AFC's top six. A closing stretch of at Detroit, vs. New England, at Cincinnati means Baltimore will have to earn an invite to the dance. 12Last Week: 12 Indianapolis Colts (8-4)Thanks goodness for the Titans, because the Colts are looking pretty rough right now, aside from more or less sewing up the division. The offensive line is regressing at a startling rate. 13Last Week: 17 Detroit Lions (7-5)The Lions' holiday win over Green Bay was both critical and cathartic. On top of taking control of the NFC North, the Lions snapped a five-game losing streak against the Packers and a nine-game Thanksgiving Day skid. 14Last Week: 10 Arizona Cardinals (7-5)Carson Palmer picked a poor time to go all Carson Palmer on the Cardinals. He fumbled on Arizona's opening possession on Sunday, threw a pick on the second, then tossed another INT later. The loss didn't end Arizona's playoff chances, but it served a massive blow. 15Last Week: 24 Miami Dolphins (6-6)The Dolphins picked a great year to be an average or slightly-above-average team in the AFC. Three more wins almost certainly would get them into the playoffs. Two might do the trick. 16Last Week: 22 New York Giants (5-7)Looking back on it now, the Giants' first six games were as close to unfair scheduling as the NFL gets. The worst team, record-wise, from that group of teams New York lost to en route to 0-6: Chicago, which is 6-6 and might be atop the NFC North had Jay Cutler not been injured. 17Last Week: 13 St. Louis Rams (5-7)In another division, who knows. The Rams solidified their spot Sunday as the fourth-best team in arguably football's toughest division. There's no shame in that, but St. Louis still has ground to cover. 18Last Week: 18 Chicago Bears (6-6)The QB dilemma only matters so much when the defense cannot hold a 10-point, fourth-quarter lead on Minnesota. In the words of that new ad featuring a pair of Bears legends, that's pretty ri-Ditka-lous. 19Last Week: 14 Pittsburgh Steelers (5-7) Even with their loss to the Ravens last week, the Steelers have a legitimate chance at the playoffs. Three of their final four are at home, with a road trip to struggling Green Bay. But bad omen: Pittsburgh has missed the playoffs each of the past seven times it's finished with fewer than 10 wins. 20Last Week: 19 San Diego Chargers (5-7)Even after a shaky 23-of-37 showing versus Cincinnati, Philip Rivers remains within striking distance of Drew Brees' single-season record for completion percentage -- Rivers sits at an even 70 percent; Brees finished at 71.2. Of course, Brees' Saints also hung 547 points on the board that season (2011). The Chargers are on pace for just 372. 21Last Week: 20 Tennessee Titans (5-7)Tennessee had two chances in three weeks to put some heat on the Colts. Instead, the Titans might find themselves in third place by the end of a Week 16 trip to Jacksonville. 22Last Week: 28 Minnesota Vikings (3-8-1) Don't look now, but Adrian Peterson's up over 1,200 yards rushing on the season after posting a combined 357 over the past two weeks -- a tie in Green Bay and an OT win over Chicago. He's once again in command of the league rushing race, with a 120-yard edge on LeSean McCoy. 23Last Week: 15 Green Bay Packers (5-6-1)The Packers sans Aaron Rodgers have taken on a 2011 Colts-without-Peyton Manning look. They're now 0-4-1 without their leader, but the problems are myriad at spots other than QB. A 40-10 loss to Detroit was pretty close to a total team meltdown. 24Last Week: 21 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-9)Mike Glennon was due for an off game or two, but there's not a lot of wiggle room for this Tampa Bay offense right now. Sunday's showing in Carolina was the seventh time this year it's failed to accumulate 300 yards in a game. 25Last Week: 29 Jacksonville Jaguars (3-9)No idea what Jacksonville did during its Week 9 bye, but "1980s-style training montage" comes to mind given the results afterward: Jacksonville's 3-1 since then and has a legitimate shot to finish with six or seven wins. 26Last Week: 31 Atlanta Falcons (3-9)Nice to see you again, Roddy White. The veteran receiver, who has struggled to stay healthy during this miserable Falcons season, caught 10 passes Sunday -- that matches half his total from the first 12 weeks of the season. 27Last Week: 23 Buffalo Bills (4-8)The Bills have an agreement to play one game per year in Toronto through 2017, but they may want to reconsider. Sunday's loss to Atlanta dropped them to 1-5 in regular-season games there, and the crowd of 38,969 was the smallest for the event since a 2010 preseason matchup with Indianapolis. 28Last Week: 26 Cleveland Browns (4-8)Three straight losses, then the Browns had to go out and sign Caleb Hanie with Jason Campbell banged up. Playing quarterback for this team is about as safe as jumping on the Simpsons' backyard trampoline. 29Last Week: 27 Oakland Raiders (4-8)In his three starts this season, Matt McGloin has been sacked an average of 0.67 times per games. Terrelle Pryor, in his eight outings: 3.6 sacks per game. 30Last Week: 25 New York Jets (5-7)Twenty-three teams scored 20 or more points in Week 13. The reeling Jets have 20 points total over their past three games, predictably all losses, including a nightmarish 23-3 setback Sunday against the Dolphins. 31Last Week: 30 Washington Redskins (3-9)There were hundreds of tickets to Washington's Sunday nighter available for less than $10 on the secondary market. Hard to blame the fans for tuning out this team, as it's followed up last season's thrilling run to the NFC East title by going through the motions for three months. 32Last Week: 32 Houston Texans (2-10)They're streaking toward the No. 1 pick, but the Texans are due to get a win here sometime. Their past six losses have come by a grand total of 22 points. So maybe hold off on buying that Teddy Bridgewater jersey, random Texans fan.

Inside the temple are more swordsmen and wizards. Kill the wizards first and as fast as possible. They have the annoying habit of reincarnating each other.

Also search every corner for chests. At one end of this cave, you'll enter a large room where some beaten-up prisoner tells you to look out. Several slavers carrying large, dull swords will ambush you. A single slaver is easy to beat, but if several of them surround you at once, they can quickly ass-rape you. After slaughtering all the slavers, the prisoner will introduce himself as Rondo Blackwright, a shopkeeper.

Five musicians stepping up on jazz showcase stage form a creative collective called AVARUS
Notorious Pae Kollekiiv
Five Estonian musicians mostly active on the jazz and improvised music scene have formed a creative collective called AVARUS. They will perform with their bands Pae Kollektiiv and Heliotroop on 28th of March at the jazz showcase.
Kadri Voorand, Mingo Rajandi, Kirke Karja, Meelis Vind and Virgo Sillamaa, the members of AVARUS explain that the collective is meant to become a vehicle for advancing their individual creative interests. That means organising concerts, collaborations and projects for all the members as well as their ensembles, but also having a hub of administration and representation that takes on some features of a label or agency. AVARUS can even function as a grassroots level export platform.
"Playing together in different groups, often sharing the creative input makes the idea of a shared initiative only a logical next step", Virgo Sillamaa explains. Another feature that strongly unites these five is the mixture of musical subcultures that they spring from and also aim for. Meelis Vind and Kirke Karja have both jazz and classical performance background; Mingo Rajandi trained as a jazz bassist only to continue her studies in classical composition. Kadri Voorand and Virgo Sillama have a jazz upbringing, but the music they create (most notably together in Kadri Voorand trio) often searches far and wide across the stylistic spectrum for expressing their ideas. The Estonian word AVARUS means "ampleness", "wideness" and "spaciousness" - a fine label for what these musicians strive for.
Pae Kollektiiv and Heliotroop - two of the ten groups currently in AVARUS portfolio - are also performing on the TMW jazz stage on 28th of March. Pae Kollektiiv is Kirke Karja's new group showcasing her talent and ambition for composing for a larger line-up (six horns + piano trio). It caused quite a stir with its debut performance on the Estonian Jazz Gala concert (sic!) organized by the Estonian Jazz Union and a full concert later in KUMU (Art Museum of Estonia).
Heliotroop features four AVARUS musicians. Songs are based on texts by fine Estonian poets. The music is an organic mix of intricate compositional elements, complex forms and expressive unbridled improvisational energy.
