Favorite Christmas memories......(image intensive)
As a child, (and even as an adult) I was always closet to my father. He was such a kind and gentle, loving soul. Never had an ugly word to say about anyone.
Every Christmas, my folks would make a ton of fudge of 100's of popcorn balls. Dad was into model railroading. So every Christmas, he'd put up a 4' x 16' platform under the tree. I would help him lay down the green "grass" paper and lay the track.
Then after us girls were shipped off the bed, he worked feverishly through the night assembling toys and finishing up the train set. He'd put out all the little houses, people, matchbox cars, trees (which were weeds painted green), street light and traffic lights... the list goes on. He'd even string all the telephone poles with thread to make them look real.
I don't have any images of dad's train set, so here's some of mine... Sorry I didn't downsize them, this way you can see the detail...
Here's a shot using existing light with the shutter wide open:
And here's my daddy:
I haven't been able to bring myself to put up the train set since my father passed away. It's just not the same with out him. I'm thinking maybe next year I may put it up so my new family can see it. DH will not believe it.
I even have teenie tiny fire hydrants, trash cans and telephone booths!!!
I never really appreciated how much time and work went into it until I did it myself. I don't know how that man did it in one night... it took me nearly a week to put it all up.
I had 2 trains and a trolly car. Dad was running a big 'ol American Flyer train that huffed smoke and had a whistle. Gosh how I miss the sound of the whistle!
I just wanted to share my Christmas' past. Hope all your Christmas' are happy and safe! Merry Christmas every one!
Merry Christmas Daddy!!! I love you!
Hi Nancy, Wow is right that is a great train set with all the trimmings. Made me think of our old Lionel train set. We only got it out at Christmas to go around the tree but it was such fun. I think ( & hope ) my brother has it. Thanks for helping me bring back an almost forgotten memory. Bev
Wow Nancy! beautiful pictures! What wonderful memories you have- thanks for sharing.
My Dad left us so many wonderful memories too :)) That's what we hope for- when we leave this life, to not have sorrow, but happy times remembered! So, put up that train set, and smile- maybe a tear or two (that's ok)
I try to make fun/loving memories for my family.
Merry Christmas!
Linda in Louisville
thank you so much for sharing your wonderful memory, story and father.
i miss my dad as well, and so miss his touches to each and every holiday.
break it out, share it with those you love. carry on his tradition and add your own touches. i agree it won't be the same, but your heart will be glowing with each piece of track you lay and structure you put up.
thanks again for your wonderful memory.
It's all about the memories, and thank you so much for sharing yours. What a great train layout, that's something I would have loved. I go to the local train club shows even though I don't have a train one of my own.
I carry on as many of my family's traditions as I can, and I have started a few of my own and adopted a few of my ex's family's too, because they are my daughters' memories.
It can be a lot of work, especially when I'm not really up to it, but I can't even begin to describe the amount of satisfaction I get when I serve the foods my family looks forward to as part of their Christmas celebration. So I'll cook until I drop, and ship to those who aren't close by. In the meantime, I'll dream of that passenger train set from the 40's or 50's, the one where the cars light up and you can see silhouettes of the passengers.
I can still see my Mom and Dad working together in the kitchen making dozens of ravioli and honey balls, and I remember my grandmother making pickled peppers when I was really little. Funny how those are still some of my favorite things. To this day, if I want them I must make them myself, the stores' just don't taste the same.
Your train set will be the gift of Christmas memories you give to your own family, something more precious than anything you could buy for them. They are very fortunate indeed.
Merry Christmas,
Neat pics of train set.
I don't have one - and my family didn't either. But one of my memories has to do with not putting up Chris.dec's until after my birthday (12/12) - because that was the day the FFA Club at our school (and my father was the teacher in charge of it) opened their Christmas Tree Stand every year. Back then most people put up REAL trees, and not early like they do now!
And I used to help make the wreaths, yule-logs, etc. Loved it!

Cochran narrowly defeats tea party hopeful in Mississippi
_Sen. Thad Cochran, campaigning as the veteran voice of reason and experience, Tuesday narrowly defeated upstart challenger Chris McDaniel and the tea party movement that so passionately rallied behind him in a fiercely fought race for the Mississippi Republican Senate nomination.
The runoff election victory by the savvy Washington insider was a rebuff to the tea party and like-minded conservative groups. It was probably the final blow to a conservative insurgency that began 2014 with enormous ambitions.
Those groups had vowed to topple Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Cochran and others. Instead, they saw most of their challengers overwhelmed by the Republican mainstream, as the party's business allies and longtime strategists helped long-established incumbents.
Cochran followed that script. He had the backing of most of Mississippi's Republican hierarchy, as well as strong financial backing from business interests. He touted his ability to win much-needed dollars for his impoverished state, and got local officials' backing all over Mississippi.
And he got an apparent boost from Democrats and independents—notably African-American voters—who were eligible to participate. Non-Republicans who did not vote in the June 3 primary were eligible to vote Tuesday.

It was a sweet second home coming for Trina. This 19-year-old girl from Denmark came down to Salem, a decade back, to trace her ancestral roots and biological parents.
She was, way back in 1992, discarded in a government cradle for abandoned children (Cradle Baby scheme of the Tamil Nadu Government), citing poverty as reason. She was just 9 months old then.
"I came to see my biological parents, sister, and brother," she said.
When she met her parents for the first time in her life on December 26, 2003, she was excited. Kisses and hugs were freely exchanged while her adopted parents Susanna and Soren watched.
They posed for photographs without any inhibition.
But this time her meeting with her family was more intimate and was held behind closed doors at the Collectorate.
"Now she speaks English too fluently and Tamil in broken sentences, which made her mother Thailammal emotional," said an official in Social Welfare Department.
Trina, nursing an ambition to pursue legal education in Denmark, met father Pachamuthu who is a labourer from Kannendri village near Salem, besides her younger sister and elder brother. She and her parents did not wish to be photographed since according to her father the "village people will talk ill of us for abandoning her."
Thailammal wanted her daughter to visit them at least once in five years for which she nodded in agreement.
The parents were, however, happy that Trina, known then as Shanthi, was in the life's comfort zone. Chief Minister Jayalalithaa's pet scheme, Cradle Babies, has to a considerable extent helped eradicate the heinous practice of female infanticide and foeticide.
Salem, which was the first district where the scheme was launched 1992, has so far received 1,019 babies in its cradles.
"We have received 19 babies last year," said the official.

The St. Louis Blues winger is the lead partner in a Winnipeg company that's opening a family entertainment centre in a new industrial/retail/office complex in southwest Winnipeg.
The numbered company is the first tenant to lease space in the 65,435-square-foot complex, which is nearing completion in the Sterling Lyon Business Park on Lorimer Boulevard. The complex was one of only two new multi-tenant industrial buildings built on speculation in Winnipeg in 2012, even though the city's overall industrial vacancy rate remained below three per cent for the fifth consecutive year.
And it looks like there will be only two built this year -- the 152,000-square-foot Discovery Place distribution centre under construction in the Inksbrook Industrial Park and a 40,000-square-foot industrial building to be built this summer in the Brookside Business Park, also in northwest Winnipeg. The Brookside building is being developed by Olexa Developments, the Calgary firm that's developing the business park.
The park's sales and leasing agent, Robert Scaletta of Shindico Realty Inc., said they're close to signing their first tenant.
He said they expect to start construction this spring and to complete the building -- the park's first multi-tenant building built on spec -- by this fall. One of the reasons there isn't more spec construction in Winnipeg is there aren't tenants such as Alexander Steen and his partners who are willing to pay the higher rents -- $10 to $13 net per square foot -- for newly built space. Not when the average net rental rate in older buildings is $4.75 to $6.50 per square foot and roughly $7 to $8 in 10- to-12-year-old structures, according to Wayne Johnson, a commercial agent with Royal Le Page Dynamic Real Estate and author of the twice-yearly Johnson Report on commercial sales and leasing activity in Winnipeg.
Although the gap in rental rates for new and existing space has been closing -- Johnson's 2012 year-end report shows the average rate rising from $4.23 to $6.31 per square foot over the last 10 years -- it's still well below the cost for new space.
Jarret Hannah, one of Steen's three local business partners and the spokesman for the group, said they paid close to $13 per square foot for their space.
He said they looked at other space in the southwest quadrant that was priced at about $10, "but we felt new was the way to go. This really was the best bang for our buck." Not only is the building new, it's a stone's throw from the new IKEA store and there are lots of young families living nearby in developments such as Linden Woods, Whyte Ridge and Waverley West.
That's the kind of customer being targeted by the partners, who also include Bobby MacKay, a partner at Advantage Wealth.
Hannah, who owns Jel Marketing Group, said the entertainment centre will include a 4,000-square-foot indoor playground.
"It going to be state of the art and it's going to have multi-attractions."
He said further details, including the name of the centre, will be unveiled within the next month or so.
Winnipeg's A & S Homes is the developer of the Sterling Lyon Business Park and has been one of the city's most active industrial builders in recent years, along with Terracon Development Ltd. and the British Columbia Investment Corp. (bcIMC).
A & S and Terracon are both moving to the sidelines this year because they still have space to fill in the buildings they built last year.
A&S still has roughly 53,000 square feet left in the building Steen's group will be moving into.
And Terracon has 45,000 square feet left in the 72,000-square-foot industrial/office complex it built last year in its Tuxedo Business Park.
Jane Arnot, the DTZ agent who negotiated the deal with the Steen group, said although there are no other deals in the works, "there's been a lot of interest" from other parties.
"It's such great space, because it's flex space" that can be developed as warehouse, distribution, showroom, office or retail space, she said.
Terracon's development manager, Michael Falk, said while the city's overall industrial vacancy rate is low, there is a fair bit of newly built space still on the market.
"The reality is that when you start breaking that (the vacancy-rate numbers) down... there is enough inventory (to meet the demand for 2013)," he added.
A local spokesman for bcIMC -- Shaun Rocan, Winnipeg vice-president of leasing for Bentall Kennedy (Canada) LLP -- said the developer wants to see how long it takes to rent out the remaining 92,000 square feet in Discovery Place before deciding whether to tackle another project.
Rocan said there's been a surprisingly high level of interest in the space from both local and out-of-province companies. "We've got a lot of irons in the fire. How many (prospective tenants) are we going to land? I don't know."
Martin McGarry, president of the DTZ affiliate in Winnipeg, predicted if the Discovery Place facility fills up fairly quickly, there will be an increase in spec-development activity in 2014.
"I bet we'll hit 300,000 (square feet of new spec space) in 2014," he said.

P. S. Suryanarayana
SINGAPORE: Singapore will conduct a simulated anti-terror exercise, "based on a terrorist scenario similar to that of the [recent] Mumbai attacks."
Announcing this, Singapore Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng on Tuesday said: "Police will be conducting the exercise, in collaboration with multiple government agencies and private organisations, to test and improve the collective response – of not just the government but also the community – to such incidents." Speaking at the opening of 'Global Security Asia (GSA) Conference and Exhibition 2009," Mr. Wong said the Madrid bombing scenario of 2003 and the London terror attacks of 2005 served as the basis of a large-scale exercise, already held in the City-State, to meet "simulated terrorist attacks on our land transport systems."
In the recent terrorist attack in Mumbai, Singapore lost one of its nationals; and the authorities here, mourning their first-ever terror victim, pledged to draw lessons. The issue later figured in the India-Singapore strategic dialogue; and New Delhi is understood to have emphasised the international ramifications of the attack that "transcended" any external view of India's ties with Pakistan. The United States Department of Homeland Security is among the participants at the conference.

Under the Radar
Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by Life Dynamics, Inc. on Jan 29, 2013
In the ongoing battle over abortion, the issue of violence is a consistent theme. Supporters of legalized abortion define it by the eight abortion clinic workers who have been killed as well as the destruction and vandalism that sometimes occurs at abortion clinics. Abortion opponents counter that none of this compares to the violence inflicted upon the unborn inside the nation's abortion clinics. Lost in all of this is the alarming level of abortion related violence that takes place outside the public's view. Patients are raped or sexually assaulted by their doctors and a startling number of women are attacked for refusing to have abortions, and Planned Parenthood and NAF are fully aware and indifferent to it. The cases in this report answer how the kind of men who rely on abortion as a safety net react when the women they impregnate are unwilling to jump into it.... www.prolifeamerica.com

The New Economics of True Wealth

From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
Long on abstract recommendations, short on practical suggestions for how to accomplish them. For those who already believe, this book offers nothing new; for those who need to be convinced, it doesn't offer enough examples to make it appealing.
This is the best book I have read so far on the subject of our changing economic and ecological reality and what to do about it. It is especially rich in solutions that are do-able on a household scale and that may provide answers on how to thrive in these unpredictable times. It introduces many technological innovations that I was unaware of that make it possible to combine the best of both pre-modern and present economies. Particularly interesting to me are the parts about high-tech self-provisioning and the opportunities to create cottage industries that make very productive use of our time and labour. Very exciting!!!
I'm on page 13 and loving this book so far. I can't wait to keep reading. It goes slowly, since I'm the stay at home mom of two young children, but I'm excited to finish the book and perhaps discuss with others.

Make Weekly Tournament open for ALL PLAYERS!
Finally! Now I can re-upgrade some of my downgraded karts again. I REALLY look forward to having my Wall Magnet back!
If there's one MAJOR thing to point out for this app, though, it's that there's downside to the Weekly Tournament. Players have to connect to Facebook in order to play the Weekly Tournament because if players press "Later", they are taken back to the episode selection screen. Can you please update the app so non-facebook players can play the Weekly Tournament again without having to conect to facebook, please?
I also only wish that I I can have some of my karts back without purchasing them with gems. These particular karts are.
Rocky Road: Punch Box > Cap-ster
Air: Tub Thumper > Soapy Slider
Stunt: Point Breaker > Weaver XT
So Rovio, can you make all the karts and upgrades purchaseable with Bird Coins from now on, please? Variety IS important because more unlocked karts mean more variety.
As for the gems and Telepods, the gems could be used to purchase something else, and the Telepods can not only temporarily unlock karts, but let you do Telepod Challenges (like in Angry Birds Transformers), too.
This is Pretty Good
Ok so this is the story: my brother got this app and was just like "You should play this! It's addicting!" So I got it (obviously 😝). I started playing like everyday and I was super excited. I created my own team and my brother joined. I have like 50 gems I got from racing. (I know it seems like not many but I just started.) I also had like 5,000 coins but then when I got to rocky road I've been saving up for a good cart but instead I got the goat cart. But just updating the thing made me us up all my coins and it's not even good! Also my brother bought 100 gems and used it all up in 5 minutes. So I guess the game could b better economically but that's it. Thx 4 reading get this game just b careful on wat u purchase.
Go birds
Fun game. But once you get through all games and have many coins all drivers etc. and working on beating all challenges. It WILL delete all of your progress and make you start all over from beginning before you can complete game. I have had to start all over twice now and at about same point of progression. Also it makes it very difficult. You will have free boosts that is until you need them for a challenge, then the free disappear and they want you to purchase boosts. So just like all games, it's all about the money. And the more you spend the more they want you to spend. So for that reason I give it 4 stars.

It's important to understand that not all of the bad news for the coal industry is coming by way of the EPA. While the CO2 limits for new coal and gas plants complicates domestic power generation, the global market for U.S. coal is softening. Up until several months ago, many people (myself included) were expecting U.S. coal exports to increase based on strong international demand. I wrote last year that even though domestic coal production was declining, significant amounts of U.S. coal (and carbon) were being consumed by European and Asian markets.
However, instead of expecting a record year of coal exports, U.S. exports are expected to decline by 5 percent this year.
Perhaps the biggest indicator is China's announcement that they will ban construction of coal-fired power plants in three key industrial regions around Beijing, Shanhai, and Guanghzou in an effort improve air quality. The action plan from the State Council, China's Cabinet, also aims to cut coal's share of the country's total primary energy use to below 65% in 2017 and increase the share of nuclear power, natural gas and renewable energy.
It's unclear what will happen in the short-term in the international coal markets, but this is definitely part of the equation.
There is also the LNG export wildcard. U.S. natural gas could shake up international markets even more depending on how the Obama Administration handles LNG export terminal permitting. It's conceivable that increased U.S. LNG exports will further depress the international coal market and further weaken demand for U.S. coal.

WANTED: Rare plants that can live indoors, in exchange for ???
First off, my tastes aren't fixed, but I'm looking for really unusual and rare plants.
This is a bit confusing, since I'm just now moving and rapidly expanding my plant collection. My resources are very good, but they are biased heavily towards plants that live outside in the Bay Area. My list is short, but will be much longer in a few months.
Here's what I have now (this is the extend of my tiny collection!):
Deppea splendens (5 gallon pot, needs to be cut back). Straightforward to root.
Agapetes serpens: needs to be heavily cut back, so lots of cuttings.
Petunia exserta: Technically my mom's plant, but should need to be cut back soon
Eupatorium sordidum (the short annie's variety): also technically my mom's--who doesn't want a huge plant.
Salvia wagneriana (the pink and white form). Should be able to take cuttings in a couple weeks.
Brugmansia sanguinea 'Pachochoa': too small for cuttings (which would die ina hot climate).
Rhodochiton antrosanguineaum. Just starting to bloom. Plentyof material for cutting eventually; mabye seeds.
Lachenallia viridifolia--seeds or leeaf cuttngs: there should be more
Lobelia excelsa--seeds or bulbils soon.
I forgot a few.
Boweia volubiilis--can take scale cuttings in the fall.
Monstera deliciiosa albo variegata--no cuttings soon (1 taken).
Ecballium elaterium (squirting cucumber). This is a mature plant, tha should fruit soon.
Khalanhkoe hybrid "Pink Butterflies". Hopefully many plantlets rooted soon.
I thinkt that's completeley it for now...
Would you check my list and see if there is anything I have you would trade for some of your plants. I would like to have several of yours but probably don't have anything strange or unusual you want. Let me know please, one way or the other.

DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Paper Plate Earth Day Wreath
This is good scissor skills practice for kindergarten children - the images are all circles making them fairly easy to cut out.
- paper,
- something to color with,
- scissors,
- glue,
- crayons,
- a paper plate
- Cut the center out of the paper plate to leave a round "donut" shape.
This will form the base of the wreath. (This may require adult assistance).
- Print out the template pieces - you may wish to print 2 or 3 copies of the template depending on how full you want your wreath to
be -- our photo is a mix of two templates.
- Color the earths and recycling symbols (if using the B&W version)
- Cut out the template pieces. This will take quite awhile -- you can provide assistance if you like (depending on the patience of
your child).
- Glue your earths and recycling symbols to completely cover your paper plate "donut"
- You can tie a bow and paste it on to decorate further.
- You can put a piece of yarn on the back to hang it.
- You can do these as a group with younger children -- let each child
cut out and color one or two earths or recycle symbols, possibly print their names on it, and glue it on the group wreath.
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).

Help! I need an adapter
doug6430January 17, 2010
I Have a 1970's Resolute wood stove that I am in need of a flange/pipe that will convert from oval to round 6 inch. ( The flange coming off the stove is oval) I have visited a number of stores and the solutions have varied to the extreme of buying a new stove. Can someone help direct me to a site or store to purchase. thanks Doug
The part you're looking for is called a boot or oval to round adapter and was used almost exclusively on Vermont Castings stoves. One of these online sources should carry them: Northlineexpress.com redhillgeneralstore.com woodmanspartsplus.com. Googling oval to round stove pipe adapter will no doubt turn up other sources. If there's a long time VC dealer near you, he might have one as well.
