Teddy's Winter Tree
By: Debra Quartermain for Styrofoam Brand Foam
This Christmas you can put out a whole ensemble of Christmas decor. Start with making a teddy bear and his Christmas tree. This is an easy felt craft you can put out every year.
- STYROFOAM* Brand Foam:
- Ball, 2"
- Cone, 9" x 4"
- Egg, 4"
- Sheet, 36" x 12" x 1"
- Embroidery floss: black; white
- Felt: 45" light brown plush, 1/2 yd.; 9" x 12" sheets, one each: navy; red; dk. brown; dk. green, five sheets; scrap of black
- Craft wire, 22-gauge, 6" length
- Black safety eyes, 8mm, two
- Needles: embroidery; sewing
- Serrated knife
- Candle stub or paraffin
- Fine-line black permanent marker
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Compass
- Scissors
- Pinking shears
- Tracing paper
- Strong white thread
- Wire cutters
- Low-temp glue gun and glue sticks
- Thick, white craft glue
- Wax serrated knife with candle stub or paraffin. Following STYROFOAM* cutting lines, cut two bear bodies, two arms, and two legs from foam sheet. Cut foam ball in half; set aside one half for another project.
- Following plush felt cutting lines, cut one body from plush felt; flip pattern over and cut one reverse body from felt. Cut two arms and two reverse arms from plush felt. Repeat for legs and ears. Cut remaining patterns from felt as indicated. In addition, cut two 1" x 3-1/2" strips (mitten trim) and two 2" x 12" strips (scarf) from navy felt.
- Slightly flatten small end of egg for bottom of head. Glue foam half-ball to head, 1/2" above flattened end, for bear's muzzle. Center plush head over top of foam head and smooth felt over surface. Glue plush edges together; glue excess to bottom of head.
- Referring to head diagram, poke two small holes into plush for eyes. Apply glue to eye shanks and push firmly into head.
- Using six strands of black embroidery floss, stitch bear's mouth, following numbered order of stitches on diagram. Glue felt nose in place.
- Glue two ears together, right sides out; repeat. Apply glue to bottom edge of each ear; curve slightly and glue to head.
- Glue two foam bodies together. Use fingertips to slightly round body edges. Centering seam at edge where bodies join, glue felt bodies to foam. Repeat for arms and legs, using single thickness of foam. Using patterns and photo as guide, glue arms, legs, and head to body.
- Use compass to draw two 3" circles on red felt. Sew gathering stitch around each circle; pull stitches tight to form earmuffs. Gently bend wire length into curve that spans head. Glue earmuffs over wire ends at center of each ear.
- Open each mitten flat. Place navy trim strip on each mitten, slightly overlapping mitten edge. Using six strands of white embroidery floss, blanket stitch trim to mittens (Fig. 1); begin by taking needle up through fabric at •, down at "1", and up again at "2". Stitch 1"-wide snowflake design, following numbered order of stitches on pattern. With right sides together, hand stitch each mitten closed, leaving trim end open. Turn right side out; place mittens on paws.
- Overlap and glue short ends of scarf pieces together to make long strip. In same way as mittens, stitch two 1"-wide snowflakes at each end of scarf, 1" apart and beginning 1-1/2" from scarf ends. Use floss to topstitch around edge of scarf, 1/4" from long edges and 1" from ends. Fringe 1/2" at each end of scarf. Center and tie scarf around bear's neck.
- Wax serrated knife with candle stub or paraffin. Cut two 2" x 3" blocks from foam sheet; glue blocks together to measure 2" x 2" x 3" (trunk).
- Use compass to draw one 4" and one 9" circle on green felt. Use pinking shears to cut out circles. Use sheers to cut 3"-wide strips from green felt; cut two of each length: 7"; 9"; 11"; 12". Use regular scissors to cut 3" x 8" strip and 2" square from dk. brown felt.
- Glue 8" dk. brown strip around trunk; glue 2" dk. brown square to bottom. Glue 4" green circle to base of cone. Glue trunk to cone bottom.
- Use marker to draw four lines around cone, 2" apart; begin 2" from bottom edge. Hold 12" green strips together as one; use knife point to insert felt edge into lower ring on cone, pleating slightly. Repeat for next three rows, working toward shortest felt strips at top ring.
- Center 9" green circle over tip of cone; glue felt to cone, pleating evenly. Place tree between bear's paws.

This is a post about pictures of cats. Portraits of animals can be both moving and powerful, but since the mid-'00s, they've been first and foremeost a lodestone for post-millenial internet silliness, all rendered in grammatically mangled 36-point Impact. LOLCats are one of the most pervasive cultural phenomena of our brave new internet age, god help us, building I Can Has Cheezburger into a commercial powerhouse and breeding a whole new pidgin vocabulary that gets used (ironically, of course) more and more often in everyday life. In view of this, we were interested to read on Creative Review about a new exhibition that opened in London this week — archly entitled "For the LOL of Cats," it attempts to make sense of the whole thing by looking at the history of cats and photography, from the Brighton Cats to the present day. It's an interesting enough idea, and we've collated a selection of images for the show after the jump. What do you make of it all, gentle reader? Interesting cultural commentary or postmodern piffle? Is it time for another "What is art?" discussion? Just think: if Marcel Duchamp had had a cat and an ADSL connection, all this unpleasantness could have been avoided! … Read More

Marcel the Shell and Other Unlikely Media Empires
Last week we found out that not only is Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp's wonderful viral video "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On" being turned into a children's book, it's also being developed into a full-blown TV show. Though we love Marcel (and Jenny and Dean, for that matter), and are nothing but happy about this turn of events, we have to admit that we think it's pretty wild that their homemade video has turned almost overnight into a burgeoning media empire. The news got us to thinking about other unlikely media empires that have cropped up in recent years, a phenomenon that will probably start happening more and more. Click through to see our list of unlikely media empires, and let us know which ones we've missed in the comments. … Read More
Thurber Humor Prize Nominees Are In: Professor Happycat Spurned, Sloane Crosley Over the Moon
There are infinite LOLs to be had on the internet, but only one book each year can win the Thurber Prize for American Humor. The contenders for an award that has in the past gone to David Sedaris and Jon Stewart this year include Sloane Crosley, Ian Frazier, Don Lee and Laurie Notaro. Among the unrecognized: the prevailing internet trend of LOLCats, which was translated into last year's paperback I Can Has Cheezburger?: A LOLcat Colleckshun. Instead, this year's nominations went to three essay collections and a novel. How did Crosley, nominated for I Was Told There'd Be Cake, take the news? She told… Read More
LOLCats: A Brief History
Earlier today we were sent a link to the anitque postcard above, which dating back to 1905 is the oldest lolcat image in existence. Intrigued, we decided to do a little digging. This card is the work of Harry Whittier Frees an American photographer who got his kicks dressing up animals in people clothes and posing them with props. According to a 1937 profile of Frees in Life magazine, his career started at a birthday party in 1906. He took some photographs of a cat wearing a party hat, and later sold them to a postcard… Read More

Review Round-up: Thérèse Raquin Cheats Critics?
Stifled by an oppressive mother-in-law and a sickly husband, Thérèse Raquin falls passionately for another man. Their feverish affair drives the lovers to an act of terrible desperation, which catapults them headlong into a world more claustrophobic than the one they sought to destroy. The production continues in rep in the NT Lyttelton until 21 February 2007.
Some first night critics were underwhelmed by the power of the stage production compared to Zola's original 1867 novel and divided about the merits of the performances of the two leads. However, they were impressed by many of Elliott's inspired directorial touches and the performances, including the supporting cast, and none could deny the intrigue of the plot.

Weight limts for coasters at BGEBusch Gardens Williamsburg: I am about 5''5 and 190lbs and was just wondering if I would have any problems riding ANY of the coasters at BGE. From Christy Shuman
Hey guys, Posted June 6, 2007 at 11:17 AM I am headed to BGE this sunday, monday, and tuesday. I am about 5''5 and 190lbs and was just wondering if I would have any problems riding ANY of the coasters at BGE. I noticed B&M dont really make their seats very wide. I rode Top Gun the jet coaster at Carowinds and fit fine but was a bit tight feeling in the hip area. I'm not really top heavy at all as far as the restraints fitting over me, its my hips I'm worried about. Thanks guys Christy Comments in chronological order. Most recent at the bottom. Scroll down to respond. From Erik Yates
I dont think you'll have a problem...most of the coasters are B&M and they have a reputation for being wider than the rest. I myself am 6'0 tall, and about 180 lbs....its all in the hips....belly...ya know...I'm big. But I had no problem at all fitting into the regular seats on Griffon at BGE, and the modified seats were perfect for my slightly obese friend Matt. Most all B&M's have at least one row where they offer the "modified" seating. Griffon offers one seat in every row. Top Gun also has modified seating in I think the 6th row...it says it right up front.Posted June 6, 2007 at 3:15 PM From Christy Shuman
Thanks Erik, I have never had any problems before, I'm just paranoid, I guess. Posted June 6, 2007 at 6:15 PM From Chuck Campbell
Alpengeist's larger seats for the "full figured" are in the middle of the trains--just look for the "diamond" sign in the loading station. I don't think you'll have any real problem, but here's a tip for Apollo's Chariot--if your wallet is in your front pocket, put it in your back pocket for a "skosh" more room for the restraints.Posted June 6, 2007 at 7:26 PM Have fun.

I can help! I am a size 22, and I went to BGE last October. I was just too big to ride Apollo's Chariot -- save yourself some potential worry and use the test car at the entrance if you are worried.Posted June 6, 2007 at 9:04 PM I had no problems with any other rides, although I did have to use the "big boy" restraints on Alpengiest. I haven't ridden Griffon yet, but it seems that it also has larger restraints, if you are worried. From John Waters
B&M coasters are boring! None of them are thrilling!Posted June 7, 2007 at 2:39 AM From John Waters
OOps sorry, i been on MF, TTD, Maverick, and more, and you haven't. Your a loser, my bad!!!Posted June 7, 2007 at 2:41 AM From Erik Yates
And here I thought John Waters was cool. With movies like Pink Flamingoes, you couldnt go wrong....but I guess we were wrong. Posted June 7, 2007 at 6:01 AM From Adrian Walker
^^Posted June 7, 2007 at 11:14 AM My tolerance for this trash is starting to infuriate me but I am tired after arguing with the other idiots who can't contribute positively to other threads. John Waters, you got off lucky from me. From Christy Shuman
Kelly, I am a size 16, and not really top heavy, and never had a problem with restraints, its fitting in the seats that I worry about, even though I have never been forced off a ride. Do you think I will need a big boy seat at a size 16? Posted June 7, 2007 at 1:12 PM From Kelly Smith
Probably not! You should be fine, don't worry about it. In fact, the only reason I couldn't ride AC is that I am apple-shaped.Posted June 7, 2007 at 1:16 PM Like I said, if you are at all worried when you get there, try the test seats out front. But from what you've said, you have nothing to worry about. Have a great time! BGE is an awesome park. From Christy Shuman
Thanks alot Kelly, I cant wait I ams so excited, 3 more days, oh if I could only make it!!!Posted June 7, 2007 at 2:42 PM From Adrienne McDonald
The 'big girl' seats on Alpinegeist are either rows 4-5 or 5-6 I forgot now but I used them & was fine. They ARE marked though as someone pointed out so that's what I went by. I'm glad I forwent AP coz just from looking at the restraints, I didn't think I would fit. It's good to know I was right. I've gone down to a sz16 so hopefully by the time we get to go again, I'll be my normal size again but at least being a little smaller, I can hopefully ride AP this time. As far as Griffon, I heard that the larger seats are on all rows in the middle I think. I'm not sure so if anyone wants to clarify, be my guest, lol. ;)Posted June 8, 2007 at 9:44 PM From Erik Yates
On Griffon there are two seats in each row, and they are in the dead middle.Posted June 9, 2007 at 6:23 AM From Adrienne McDonald
Thanx Erik. I thought so, somewhere I read about that but it's always nice to know what's correct:).Posted June 10, 2007 at 9:59 PM From Christy Shuman
thanks guys, I just got back from BGE and no problems at all, just paranoia problem on my part. lolPosted June 15, 2007 at 4:26 AM From Tyler W.

BGE is actually my "home" park, as I live about 30-45 minutes away. Here are some other hints:Posted November 2, 2007 at 6:28 PM For Apollo's Chariot, the size issues are more in the thighs than anything else. Also, if you cannot fit in the seat, and you are seated in a middle seat of a row, and you were close to being able to ride, ask to be placed on the end of a row. For some reason, you may be able to ride sitting from an end seat (I come close every time, and I have always had problems when sitting in the middle, but when sitting on the end, I do just fine). For Alpengeist, that has already been discussed in previous posts. However, the larger seats are available in rows 4 and 5, and there is one larger seat in each of those rows per train. The larger seats are not on an end of a row. Now, for Griffon, this is a bit different. Both Alpengeist and Griffon say you may need to be seated in the larger seats if your chest measurements approach 52'. However, if you have ridden Alpengeist, tried seating in the regular seats, and unable to do so, if you were close to seating in a normal seat at Alpengeist, you may actually be able to be seated in a regular seat on Griffon (Again, been there done that, lol). Big Bad Wolf and Loch Ness Monster are older coasters and do not have larger seats. These two coasters are easier though to be seated if you are in the front row of any car of a train. Anyways, I hope this helps. :) If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer. :) From Christy Shuman
Oh thanks for the response, but I have been to BGE about 6 times now and I have had NO problems fitting in any of the coasters. Posted November 3, 2007 at 6:48 AM This discussion has been archived, and is not accepting additional responses.

........sorry I don't really have much to add that Jaden hasn't already stated but, after seeing the first season of it, I must say, Lori really...how to put it...bullied shane mentally. I mean, yeah, Shane could be an a** at times, and even a bit douchy but, He didn't deserve the mental abuse she put him through and I have to admit, Rick wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for him, and neither would carl and lori. Shane stood up and did a lot of things the group didn't want to. Like when they had to tell Daryl about his brother and rick and T-dog were arguing over who should tell him. They hadn't really come to a full conclusion on that but when it came, Shane took control of it and decided to do it himself, instead of having either one of them do it.
Because attempting to rape someone doesn't qualify as abuse? And continuing to pursue someone when they've made it very clear that they don't want to have a relationship with you is just fine and dandy? Besides, what mental abuse did she actually put him through? The worst thing I can think of was Lori telling him to stay away from Carl and then whining when he stayed away from Carl.
I know this isn't a thread about Shane so I will point out when Rick could and couldn't do things. I have noticed that he did rely on the group quite a bit for reassurance that what he was doing was right
What, you prefer his "this is not a democracy" mode?
and he asked majority of the able bodied men to go with him to get the cahse of weapons as well as to look for Meryl.
No, he didn't. Daryl and T-Dog decided to come themselves. He may have asked Glen, since Glen was the most familiar with the city. That was it.
He was also doing it for the radio in the bag that he gave the other one to the man and his son that helped him.
So, hey, another good reason for him to go, but you're saying it like we should condemn him for it.
Because he asked that people go with him, the camp got attacked and they lost 15 people.
Correlation =/= causation.
15 people that could have been saved if he hasn't taken 4 of the guys with him.
He took three men with him, and we have no idea if those three men would have necessarily made a difference if they were just as caught by surprise as everyone else. Remember, that was the main problem.
Shane did warn him that if he did that, that it would leave the camp defenceless.
Maybe they should have had someone on lookout. So much for Shane's superb leadership skills.
Granted, he has a point that if he hadn't come back in time with the guns that he had in the bag, there might have been a few more but, they all could have done just as well with the things they had there.
You're assuming that. You're also unfairly pinning the number of people on Rick. He's responsible for two (himself and Glen)--not Daryl and T-dog.
When they were deciding to go to the CDC or not, he had to ask the group to make sure that this was what they all wanted. He needed that reassurance from everyone instead of just going with something.
Because he's not an a*****e? What is so wrong about addressing the wants and needs of the people you're leading?
Though, I must admit, it worked out for him in the end to ask the group because a few of them did have other places they wanted to be but, still, he does this throught the show and even at the very end of season 2. He wasn't confident at all in what he decided,
Asking for opinions =/= a lack of confidence. The one time I remember him showing uncertainty was with his decision to look for Sophia.
even though he was the one that told glen to start speaking his mind and to assert himself.
Speaking your mind and asserting yourself =/= a complete disregard for what others think.
In season one, it seemed as though that the others made plans and he just kind of followed along with them.
Maybe because he really hadn't settled into the roll of leader yet?
Yeah there were a few that he iniciated but, he was never the one that finished them or even perfected them.
Because people do better if they work together?
at the end of season 1, he still seemed not too sure in what was going to happen or what the plan was from there. he still seemed lost.
Yeah, newsflash: It's a zombie apocalypse. NONE OF THEM ARE SURE AS TO WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO.
Yes Rick had his moments but, he also had his bad points too.
No one claimed he was perfect.

World reacts to Obama's new military focus on Asia
(Read article summary)Chinese newspapers call on China to assert itself, while India and African nations ponder the implications of becoming 'strategic partners' with the US.
Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Erin Devenberg/U.S. Navy/Reuters/File
Was that a collective sigh, or a gasp?
President Obama and his Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced yesterday that the US military would essentially go on a diet, after one of the largest ramp-ups in military spending since World War II.
Reaction across the world thus far has been muted, and in the case of China – the country Mr. Panetta identified as an emerging threat in November – there has been no official reaction at all, as the Monitor's Peter Ford points out today.
In addition to ending its military presence in Iraq, and drawing down forces over the next few years in Afghanistan, the US military will also reduce its massive presence in Europe – a legacy of the cold war – and shift more of its assets to the Asia-Pacific region to counterbalance the growing economic and military strength of China.
In Africa, Latin America, and elsewhere on the globe, the US will "use innovative methods to sustain US presence, maintaining key military-to-military relations and pursuing new security partnerships as needed," Mr. Panetta told reporters in Washington.

Residents to get city calendars
Westlake Village city officials said they will mail calendars and copies of the annual report to residents this year in the first of many steps designed to improve communications with the public.
The calendars will feature scenic photos of locations in and around Westlake Village that in some cases capture what is going on in the city during a particular month.
The annual report addresses 2008 capital improvement projects and contains a city organizational chart, community profile, information on elected officials, data on park improvements, important telephone numbers and frequently asked questions.
The calendars, which residents should receive this month, will cost the city an estimated $12,000 to $14,000 to produce and distribute.
"This is our first year and we wanted to make sure it was as inclusive as possible, and next year it will be more timely," Mayor Philippa Klessig said.
In November, city officials opted to not hold the annual state-of-the-city address and luncheon. Instead, they decided to host a modified address at the City Council reorganization meeting in late November.
The annual luncheon cost the city about $15,000, and while it was usually well-attended, it had a limited audience of 100 to 150 people. The calendar and annual report will have a greater reach, officials said.
City Manager Ray Taylor said the goal is to make citizens more aware of city government plans. "We think the calendar will be something well-received by residents," said Taylor.

Lenovo confident of closing PC mkt gap with HP
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Lenovo Group Ltd is confident of closing the PC market share gap with leader Hewlett-Packard Co through acquisitions and a strong product mix after claiming the global No.2 spot, its chief executive, Yang Yuanqing, said on Thursday.
Despite the confidence, analysts say Lenovo has some way to go before it can take the top spot because the Chinese PC maker would need to make key acquisitions and more aggressive sales in the tablet market.
Lenovo, one of China's best-known consumer brands, became the world's second-largest personal computer maker in the third quarter for the first time with a market share of 13.7 percent, surpassing Dell Inc's 12 percent and ranking behind HP's 18.1 percent, research firm IDC said. Research company Gartner also reported the same rankings.
"Definitely, we will continue to outgrow the market. If we outgrow the market, we will gain market share," Yang told Reuters in an interview.
Lenovo's Hong Kong-listed shares were up 2.1 percent at 0320 GMT on Thursday after rising as much as 2.5 percent in early trading, outpacing the Hang Seng Index's 1.8 percent advance.
Lenovo's advance comes after HP named a new CEO, Meg Whitman, and amid market uncertainty on what HP will do to its PC business. It earlier announced it may spin off the PC business and recently has said it might retain the business.
Earlier this year, rival Acer Inc also went through an overhaul at the top, replacing its CEO Gianfranco Lanci after he clashed with management on various issues including its tablet strategy. Lanci is now a Lenovo consultant.
While analysts expect Lenovo to grow its market share, it will likely happen only gradually.
"It will still be quite challenging to Lenovo to surpass HP, unless it makes more acquisitions along the way," said Angela Hsiang, an analyst with KGI Securities. "HP and Acer were undergoing some changes within the companies, so Lenovo managed to take away some market share from them."
Traditional PC makers have seen tablet PCs, where Apple Inc has the lion's share of the market now, taking away business from laptops and desktops, particularly among increasingly Internet-savvy consumers.
Yang said Lenovo aimed to increase its domestic market share for smartphones and tablet computers with its LePhone and LePad. Apple's hugely popular iPhone and iPad have the biggest market share in China.
Within China, Lenovo also faces competition from other key players such as network equipment makers Huawei Technologies and ZTE, which have been aggressively marketing their gadgets with lower price points.
"We want to make sure we succeed in China first, then we'll replicate that in the rest of the world. We view ourselves as not just a PC company, but also an internet devices company."
Lenovo plans to continue making acquisitions to expand, with analysts saying it will have to be more aggressive in the fast-growing smartphone and tablet markets as consumer preferences turn to easy-to-carry devices.
"We are interested in any acquisitions that help us realise our strategy. Acquisitions have become a very valuable tool. We have had a couple of successful purchases," Yang said.
This year, Lenovo entered a joint venture with Japan's NEC Corp and announced the acquisition of Germany's Medion AG, its biggest purchase since buying International Business Machines Corp's PC business six years ago.
"We are definitely interested in emerging markets as well. It depends on whether we can find the right target," Yang said.

Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure, a PC adventure game planned for release next month, has wrapped up development and gone gold, the game's publisher announced today. Eschewing plot in favor of puzzle solving, Safecracker sets a simple premise before players. Billionaire Duncan W. Adams has died, and his family has hired "an expert safecracker" to investigate and find the deed to the rich man's treasures--which is apparently locked away in one of 35 safes scattered around his mansion. Would-be combo-solvers must follow the treasure's trail from one vault to the next to find and decipher the master safe. For more on Safecracker, check out GameSpot's previous coverage at this year's E3.

dadistiller, lmao i think it will come with a asseteline torch and and sum lockpicks AND A STETHOSCOPE!, w00t!!!!!!!!!! but it does sound like a repetive game
I want this game. I love unique style games. If it scores 8.0 average from review sites then I'll definitely buy it.
Wonder if it'll help my safecracking ski--- umm I mean... my... puzzle abilities... yes that's it
Not as "unique" as some of you think. 1997 or something, a semingly identical game, even titled "Safecracker" was released. Guess this is the sequel.

Re: Shocked at the response to N2 in public
I don't get that many comments because I work alone and generally not around alot of ppl, however when I purchased the gn2 at best buy on 12/1/12 a lady was buying an Iphone 4s she looked at me and said that's a big a** phone. Then the 1st time I took it to the gym these guys said what is that a flat screen tv? And laughed. I love my gn2 I had a rugged case but it added bulk so now i have several different color TPU plastic cases that fit just right.
Re: Shocked at the response to N2 in public
That's the saddest thing iPhone honestly did start out really good but since iPhone 4S it has just become a toy. Traded my iPhone5 in this week and iPad3 as well. Got an Asus ROG gaming laptop and seeing what to replace my MacBook Air with. My workmates are shocked but I told them you feel it too, something a bit strange with Apple and Apple is starting to get mainly late adopters now which is not necessarily a good thing, whereas Android is moving from early adopters to cutting edge to mainstream.

And when he gets to where the mouse is hiding, i YANK it out, sending it flying through the air!

The Church Association was instituted in 1865. Canon Richard P. Blakeney (1820-1884), vicar of Christ Church, Claughton (nr Birkenhead) was the key founder of the Association:
Click here for Rev Richard Hobson's account of R. P. Blakeney founding the Church Association (extract from 'Richard Hobson of Liverpool - the Autobiography of a Faithful Pastor'. Published by Banner of Truth.)
Click here for 'Memoriam' of R. P. Blakeney in The Church Intelligencer.
The first Annual Report contains an 'address' which presents its raison d'être as follows.
"The present estate of the United Church of England and Ireland is such as to demand the earnest attention and combined efforts of all who would maintain her position as the Established Church of these realms. "The dangers which threaten her are internal, and arise form two opposite sources. On the one hand, there are public teachers within her Communion, who hold and preach rationalistic doctrines plainly opposed to her Articles and Formularies. On the other hand, there is an increasing section of the clergy who, having for their object the restoration of our Church to the Romish communion, are introducing into her worship vestments and ceremonies repudiated by our Reformers, and which are unauthorised by constitutional usage during the three centuries since the Reformation. "It is the latter danger which presses at the moment, and the members of the Church may well be asked whether, reflecting with gratitude on the great work of the 16th century, they will tamely give up the pure ritual and liturgy of their Church, handed down by their Protestant forefathers. If they would preserve these, they must lose no time in exposing the practices, and withstanding the efforts which are now made to undermine the purity of her doctrine and simplicity of her worship. . . ."
The Objects of the Association These are presented in the same Annual Report as follows.
"To uphold the principles and order of the United Church of England and Ireland, and to counteract the efforts now being made to assimilate her services to those of the Church of Rome. "In pursuing these objects the Council, among others, adopt the following means, viz:- Publishing information, holding public meetings, presenting memorials, &c. Pressing for an authoritative disapproval and suppression of all ceremonies, vestments, and ornaments which depart from the practice of the Church as sanctioned by three centuries of usage. Endeavouring to obtain – if necessary, through the appointment of a Royal Commission, or by legislative enactment – so clear a declaration of the law of the Church, as shall prevent the continuance of practices, which, being borrowed from Rome, corrupt the integrity, and endanger the safety of the reformed Church of England. Assisting aggrieved parishioners to obtain protection from practices which drive them from their parish church
"To uphold the principles and order of the United Church of England and Ireland, and to counteract the efforts now being made to assimilate her services to those of the Church of Rome. "In pursuing these objects the Council, among others, adopt the following means, viz:-
These Objects of the Association were later amended to read -
"To Uphold the Doctrines, Principles, and Order of the United Church of England and Ireland, and to counteract the efforts now being made to pervert her teaching on essential points of the Christian faith, or assimilate her Services to those of the Church of Rome, and further to encourage concerted action for the advancement and progress of spiritual Religion."
The First Council Mr John Campbell Colquhon was appointed the first Chairman, who was assisted by Mr T R Andrews as Vic-Chairman. The Council comprised some thirty-two members, sixteen of whom were clergymen. Twenty-eight Vice-Presidents were appointed, twelve of whom were peers of the realm, and seven were senior clergymen. Also there were twenty-eight secretaries of local branches. In addition, some eighty names are given as forming the General Committee, fifty of these were clergymen. The office address is given as 8 Adam Street, Adelphi, shortly followed by 12 York Buildings, Adelphi. By 1868 the office had moved to 14 Buckingham Street, Strand, where it remained for many subsequent years. From the start, monthly prayer meetings were held in the Association's offices.

The day after we learned that Zynga has purchased OMGPOP, the developers of Draw Something, we are reminded what a real franchise on the App Store is. Angry Birds with it's 600+ million users is expanding.
Angry Birds Space is now available on just about everything with a screen. This of course includes iOS devices both large and small. Angry Birds Space is available now for $0.99 [App Store] and $2.99 for the iPad [App Store] version. Both versions includes 60 levels in the initial release. For a quick round-up of Angry Birds Space, see the post from Carter on the game from yesterday.
Talking yesterday with Peter Vesterbacka, CMO of Rovio, we can expect to see regular updates to Angry Birds Space over the coming months — much as we have seen with the other Angry Birds games.
We also learned from Peter today that we can expect four additional Angry Birds games this year. Rovio will also be launching a brand new franchise this year, separate from the Angry Birds brand. Something to look forward to!
We'll be posting our review of Angry Birds Space in the morning. But we're guessing if you are Angry Birds fans, you won't wait for our word on the game.

Welcome to Sierra County! Hamilton Military Museum
The Dianne Hamilton Military Museum is located adjacent to the Veterans Memorial in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. New Mexico State House Representative Dianne Miller Hamilton represents District 38 which includes Grant, Hidalgo and Sierra Counties. Mrs. Hamilton is a staunch advocate for veterans; practically every member of family (male and female) is either active military or a veteran. It was with her tireless help and support that made this museum a reality.
The Veterans Memorial features monuments, plaques, a replica of the statue of liberty, a history walk designed in the shape of a Congressional Medal of Honor medallion, and a 1/2 size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The museum continues the experience by providing educational exhibits and collections that include war memorabilia, a display honoring the Buffalo Soldiers, a collection of military buttons, and artifacts of local residents that are military related. The museum exterior wall that faces the main street is adorned with an impressive mural of soldiers in lush vegetation and a Huey helicopter. Personal note: you could spend a full day in this museum...it is fascinating!

As part of our mission to detect fraud, waste, and abuse the Office of the Inspector General conducts civil and criminal investigations. Many of these cases lead to prosecution or are referred to different agencies for further action. Other cases or reviews have resulted in cost recovery for the Commonwealth. Recent cases are highlighted below.
OIG Combined Investigation Regarding Chelsea Housing Authority Executive Director Leads to Sentencing, July 2013
An Inspector General combined probe with the Massachusetts State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and the Office of the Inspector General for HUD, resulted in the former Chelsea Housing Authority Executive Director Michael E. McLaughlin being charged in federal court with falsely reporting his salary in annual budgets required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development. The Department of Justice, Office of Carmen M. Ortiz, United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, charged McLaughlin on January 23, 2013.
On July 17, 2013, U.S. District Court Judge Douglas Woodlock sentenced Michael McLaughlin to 36 months in federal prison after he pled guilty to four counts of falsifying documents in order to hide his actual salary from state and federal officials from 2008 to 2011. McLaughlin's prison sentence will be followed by two years of supervised release. In addition, McLaughlin must pay a $4,000 fine.
For more information on McLaughlin's plea, see the U.S. Department of Justice's Press Release at http://www.justice.gov/usao/ma/news/2013/February/McLaughlinMichaelplea.html.
Also, see the OIG's Letter to Joseph Connarton, Executive Director, PERAC & David Pickering, Board Administrator, Chelsea Retirement Board, Regarding the Compensation & Retirement Benefits of Michael McLaughlin, Executive Director of the Chelsea Housing Authority, Nov 2011
OIG Investigation Regarding Plymouth County Bid-Rigging Leads to Settlement, April 2012
An Inspector General investigation of attempted bid-rigging allegations resulted in Attorney General Martha Coakley reaching a settlement with Former Commissioner Timothy McMullen and Edward Burgess the owner of Capeway Pest Management to pay $7,500 each in penalties and costs. In December 2010 the Office concluded an investigation into a complaint concerning the quote process for the pest control contract that was to be awarded by the Plymouth County Commissioners. The pest control contract involved pest control services for seven Plymouth County buildings, including the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office, the Brockton Superior Court, three District Courts, the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds, and the Plymouth County Commissioners' Office. The Office found that collusion and bid rigging occurred in the procurement of the contract. The Office referred the case to the Attorney General's Office.
Results of Pension Fraud Investigations, February 2012
The Inspector General's Office (OIG) has committed substantial resources to uncover and eliminate pension fraud within the Commonwealth, working with other law enforcement agencies including the United States Attorney's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Boston Police Department. The results of these combined investigative and prosecutorial efforts are both noteworthy and significant.
- The OIG's investigation of Charles Bradshaw Lincoln (Lincoln) became a catalyst for pension reform in the Commonwealth. Lincoln was a former Lieutenant for the City of Brockton Police Department. During Lincoln's last three years of employment at the Brockton Police Department he also served as the Director of Security for the Plymouth County House of Correction. During Lincoln's last three years of employment, he inflated his pension by abusing his sick leave in order to hold two full-time public safety positions. Lincoln was employed by Plymouth County for only three years and his contribution to its retirement system was minimal. Notwithstanding his marginal participation, he receives approximately $63,000 annually from that system for the rest of his life. By contrast, Lincoln was required to work almost thirty two years in the Brockton retirement system to qualify for an annual pension of approximately $76,000.
- Lincoln's pension assessment from Plymouth County is approximately 83% of the Brockton assessment, despite his minimal involvement in the County system. During Lincoln's last three years of employment, he used 222 days of sick leave at the Brockton Police Department. On 148 of those days, while claiming to be sick for his police shift, he put in a full day at the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department.
- In June 2009, the Massachusetts Legislature amended M.G.L. c.32, §5 (Retirement Systems And Pensions - Superannuation Retirement), by adding a new subsection [i.e. §5(e)]. This new subsection of the law was designed by the Legislature to prevent pension abuse similar to that found in the Lincoln case from occurring in the future.
- After the Boston Globe reported widespread pension abuse in the Boston Fire Department in 2008, the OIG joined an investigation with the United State Attorney's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Boston Police Department. As a result of the investigation two firefighters were indicted by a Federal Grand Jury in October of 2009.
- During the investigation of the Boston Fire Department accidental disability pension matter, the Massachusetts Legislature amended M.G.L. c.32, §7 and inserted new language which abolished the so called "king for a day" rule.3 Presently, it is unlawful for a subordinate to take his superior's place temporarily, sustain injury, and seek a disability based on his superior's higher salary.
Cognos Case Summary, February 2012
The Massachusetts Office of the Inspector General (OIG) had an instrumental role in the investigation that resulted in the prosecution and conviction of former Speaker of the House Salvatore F. DiMasi and lobbyist Richard McDonough in 2011. Staff of the Inspector General's office initiated the case, which began in mid-October 2007 with an inquiry into the faulty procurement of $13 million in software from the firm Cognos. The case ended in September 2011 with the sentencing of DiMasi and McDonough to federal prison for eight and seven years respectively.
The OIG investigated two contract awards - a $4.5 million software purchase by the Department of Education in 2006 and a $13 million purchase of performance management software by the state, funded by a March 2007 emergency bond bill. Several elements of the Cognos case that played a prominent role at DiMasi's trial were first uncovered by the Inspector General's staff. For example, the OIG established that:
- Cognos had paid DiMasi's law associate, Steven J. Topazio, $125,000 beginning in April 2005 and ending in March 2007, immediately after the bond bill was approved;
- Topazio performed no work in exchange for the $125,000;
- The language directing the state to buy performance management software was inserted in the bond bill at DiMasi's request.
OIG Investigation of Kickbacks Leads to Indictment
A joint investigation between this Office and several federal agencies, led to the indictment of Charles Feeney of North Billerica for soliciting, demanding, and accepting kickbacks. Feeney allegedly awarded a general contract to renovate a building for the Walnut Street Center to a contractor with the stipulation that a subcontract for electric work would be awarded to his company. In total, the indictment alleges that Feeney received more than $180,000 from the contractor. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years imprisonment, to be followed by up to three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine on each count.
OIG Investigation of Chapter 40B Leads to Millions in Cost Recovery for Massachusetts Towns
Following investigations into Chapter 40B affordable housing developments, four towns have negotiated settlements for monies owed to them by developers under the profit limits set by the law. The Town of Berkley received a settlement of $275,000. In an agreement between the Town of Acton and Crossroads Development LLC, the developer will do work for the Town in lieu of paying the $750,000 owed to the Town. Additionally, the Town of Wakefield received a $500,000 settlement and the City of Braintree received a settlement of $2.3 million.
Review of Developer Profits on a Town of Wakefield M.G.L. Chapter 40B project, letter to John F. Carney, Chairman, Board of Selectmen & Thomas Butler, Town Administrator, March 2007
OIG Investigation of Municipal Employees Leads to Prison Sentences
As a result of an investigation by this Office, two employees of the Haverhill Highway Department—James and Kevin Flaherty—were convicted of larceny and other charges in connection with a scheme to use city personnel, material, and equipment on private contracting jobs. James Flaherty pled guilty and was sentenced to two years in jail and to pay what he owes in unpaid taxes. His son, Kevin, was also sentenced to two years in jail and forced to pay restitution and do 200 hours of community service.
An investigation by this Office and the Essex County District Attorney's Office led to a guilty plea by former Methuen School Department Business Manager Joseph Salvo to embezzlement by a municipal officer of municipal property and larceny over $250.00. He used school credit cards to purchase items for personal use. He was sentenced to six months imprisonment.
OIG Investigation of Illegal Sewer Connection Leads to Fine
The Office investigated claims that a former Lowell City Councilman illegally connected a building he was developing in Chelmsford to the Lowell Sewer. After investigating, the Office concluded that the sewer line was not authorized/approved by the City of Lowell, was not connected in accordance with the City of Lowell's Code of Ordinances: §§ 272-30 to 33, and was done in furtherance of a scheme by former City Councilman Alan Kazanjian to keep construction costs at a minimum while defrauding the City of Lowell and Town of Chelmsford rate payers.
After this Office investigated and issued a letter, the Councilman agreed to pay the City the $3,149 sewer connection fee and a fine of $15,000.

OIG Investigation of Bid-Rigging Leads to Prison Sentence
