sword vs polearm (Score:5, Insightful)by phantomfive (622387) on Monday March 04, 2013 @02:02AM (#43065293) Journalok, polearms are formidable weapons, and their length makes it difficult to approach the wielder. I was wondering why anyone would choose a shorter sword when you could choose a polearm.
I think the answer is, when you have a sword, you can also have a shield. That makes it easier to block off the first few hits of the polearm while closing the distance, at which point the polearm bearer has no real defense against your sword. That is my understanding of the situation.
Re:sword vs polearm (Score:5, Informative)
That s pretty much why the lads wielding claymores had one or two flanking guards wielding shorter swords and targes.
I was thinking that because of the weight of the metal, a halberd swung in a great enough arc might hit a shield with enough force to do some very serious damage to the shield and/or possibly the person's arm. I imagine anybody trained in using them would also be able to switch to a method closer to a quarterstaff to block/bludgeon as needed.
There must be SOME reason that swords were still favored in close combat. I'd assume if polearms were better, they would replace the sword for that purpose. We'd see polearm combat in the olympics instead of fencing. Which actually seems like a better idea, now that I think of it.
Re:sword vs polearm (Score:4, Insightful)
Weight is the blessing and bane of the polearm. If it hits the weight of a polearm can be devastating. The problem occurs when one misses. Due to the weight it is difficult to stop a swing and reset for another swing. Also swinging such a heavy weapon takes a lot of room which leaves plenty of room for faster sword and board fighters to get by the swing and attack.
Last time I check, polearms were primarily used by footmen against mounted knights...
Re:sword vs polearm (Score:5, Informative)
That is why many battles were fought with a line or two of polearms behind a line of sword and board. The polearms could thrust over, through and under the shields wall and be very effective in pinning an oncoming formation that could be hit in the rear of flank by cavalry. They were also very effective in stopping cavalry charges. Horses don't like charging into pointy things.
Polearms are great in massed formations but are vulnerable to archery. In one on one engagements the polearm is almost useless. I have seen someone with a sabre start 15 feet away from a target, take two steps and a lung and strike the target. A polearm would have a problem stopping that. Once one gets past the head the polearm is useless.
It's interesting that, as the middle ages went on, foot soldiers went from bearing a shield and one-handed sword or axe to pole arms like the above, then later, pikes [wikipedia.org]. Also swords went from the one-handed variety used with a shield to the two-handed sort [wikipedia.org]. All this happened after the longbow [wikipedia.org] and crossbow were introduced. Which seems counterintuitive to me because those would make me more inclined to have a shield to hide behind, not less.
So why switch, then? I understand the longbow made armor much less useful (since it could pierce the armor), but why would that cause you to switch to a polearm?
Cavalry. Longbows were great, but they weren't some sort of a magical armor ignoring weapon. Good steel armor could stop most arrows, and a cavalry charge across good terrain could be pretty fast, not giving the archers the time to hit weak spots on their enemies. So you needed some way to stop that charge, and polearms were it - either defensive ones like pikes or offensive ones like halberds.
And if you think about it longbows made armor MORE useful. They made it completely mandatory for nobles to pile on
I think it was because of better armor. Short (light) weapons had trouble damaging anyone wearing heavy armor. So it was better to go with a heavy weapon that will knock down your opponent even if it fails to penetrate his armor. After that the guy could be swarmed by guys with daggers. At the same time shields became less vital since armor head a reasonable chance of protecting against projectiles (or the projectiles were heavy enough that the shield couldn't help either). Combine all that with knights usi
A katana [youtube.com] can defeat a big long sword, no matter holder's size.
Depends on the armor the guys are wearing. Against heavy armor a (big) longsword could be used to club the enemy into submission. A katana is probably to light for that.
You're close. The answer is simply that every melee weapon has a best range. If you're too far away, you can't reach, obviously. But if you're too close, the weapon is too unwieldly and can't be used effectively. Imagine trying to hit someone with a six foot spear when they're only six inches away. That is the superiority of the sword; if you can close in, the polearm user is helpless while you are effective. Have a shield to help avoid the polearm's attacks so you can close the distance can certainly
Re:sword vs polearm (Score:5, Insightful)by undeadbill (2490070) on Monday March 04, 2013 @02:53PM (#43070781)
Having trained with spears, staves, and short swords, I would take a pole arm over the short swords, or any sword for that matter. Most pole arms wielders always had a knife or long dagger for close combat, and attacking someone with half a pole arm and a knife is just fine for getting in close over someone with a sword. Having a shield just gives someone with a hooked polearm more leverage for knocking an enemy off balance, and a shield doesn't really give much closing capability against a group of experienced spearmen. Swords are better for duels and standing off someone with a knife, which is why so many stories have swords in them- those stories were more about royalty and their uses of weapons, rather than that of some common fighter for whom a polearm could be easily converted from a set of farming implements over to a deadly weapon quite easily.
Economically, if I were a ruler or warlord trying to outfit a large army with hand to hand weapons, the spear or halberd would win over almost anything else, because metal is very expensive to mine and craft into reliable components. That crafting cost on a per unit basis goes way up with hardened metals, and the larger the piece, the greater chance that serious imperfections will be introduced. Most rulers during periods where they were dependent upon hand forged weapons always picked pole-arms over swords for these reasons. Also, a lot of these weapons would be dropped or lost during close combat, so you want to limit your losses, while allowing your people to be able to pick up a weapon they can all reliably understand. Most peasants at the time understood already how to use a long staff or spear to keep wildlife at bay, for hunting, or for use as levers or farming tools in general. Drilling them on how to learn a few more moves and keep their feet steady is a lot less time intensive than trying to come up with a completely new regimen for something like a sword.
Polearms are great in groups, where soldiers can support each other. But they aren't much good in a 1vs1 fight or when fighting without a formation. And any army of the period would also likely have archers/crossbowmen, which could easily kill you if you didn't have a shield.

Since 1978, Diamondback has been at the forefront of innovative bicycle designs. Diamondback produces bicycles suitable for every rider type. Whether you are an avid road cyclist looking for the newest, lightest frameset on the market, or crushing the downhill trails of Moab, or just looking to cruise the boardwalk, Diamondback has a bike to suit your needs. Diamondback believes that every bike they produce is a reflection of who they are. Therefore, each bike that rolls out of Diamondback's factory embodies their core values which are precision, durability, and integrity.
If you haven't made the leap to a 29" bike yet, now is the time! 29" wheels have become superior to 26" wheels for there ability to rollover obstacles easier and carry more momentum to reach greater speeds.
The Sortie 29er was inspired by the Sortie 26" platform. Diamondback wanted to retain the essence of the 26" platform with the added benefits of the 29" wheel size. It's safe to say Diamondback was successful! The 2013 Diamondback Sortie 29er is a lean mean trail-riding machine. The responsive nature of the suspension design allows you to spend half the day riding up the side of the mountain and the other half riding back down.
The Dimaondback Sortie 29 3.0 begins with 6061 T6 Weapons Grade Aluminum with a hydroformed top tube, a butted and formed downtube, a seatstay bridge, a tapered headtube, and a 142x12mm E-Thru Axle dropout. Every aspect of the frame was built to be strong and durable without breaking the scale. The tapered headtube improves handling abilities and is stronger, which is essential for aggressive riders. The E- Thru Axle is strong and adds stability and rigidity to the rear end.
The Sortie 29er features Diamondback's legendary Knuckle Box suspension design which is a single- pivot four- bar suspension platform. There are many benefits with this suspension design, including better small bump compliance, improved tracking, and more confident cornering. The Sortie 29er 3.0 runs the Fox Shocks Float with CTD technology and Boost Valve. The Boost Valve provides the feeling of endless travel, much like a downhill bike. Fox Shocks CTD (Climb Trail Descend) suspension technology allows you to adjust your shock on the fly, ensuring you're always dialed in to tackle the upcoming terrain. Zip and zoom through single track without a care in the world. The nimble geometry allows you to clear tight corners, maneuver around ruts, roots, and rocks, without dropping a foot for balance. No matter what backwood trail you may find yourself on, the Sortie 29 3.0 will ensure you're having a ball.
Diamondback brought monumental quality and value to the Sortie 29er 3.0 through its plush component package. The Sortie 29er 3.0 is outfitted with Fox Shocks suspension and Shimano XT drivetrain components. To start, Diamondback chose the Fox shocks 32 Float with 120mm of travel, tapered steer, and quick release 15mm thru axle. The Fox fork is part of Fox's 2013 lineup with CTD (climb, trail, descend) technology. CTD technology allows you to adjust the fork numerous times throughout the trail with the flip of a dial to adjust for changes in the land. Built for strength and durability, Shimano XT shifters, crankset, and derailleurs provide smooth seamless shifting between gears. The Shimano XT crankset is lightweight, flex- free, and provides unparalleled power transfer. Shimano XT is designed as much for everyday riding as it is for racing. The Shimano XT brakes offer smooth powerful braking power that'll have you stopping on a dime. Making up the cockpit, an Easton EA50 series handlebar and stem were chosen for there impressive strength, performance, and price. The EA50 bar and stem excel at staying stiff when climbing up hills or bombing down the face of the mountain.
The Dimondback Sortie 29er 3.0 is a rock-solid package. 29" wheel bike with spot-on geometry, Knuckle Box suspension technology, Fox suspension, and Shimano XT drivetrain components, there is no compromise made with this bike.
Diamondback full suspension mountain bikes are known for their Knuckle Box suspension design. The Knuckle Box, or Bell Crank, is Diamondback's single- pivot four- bar suspension platform. The ideally placed pivots create a low leverage ratio which creates superior pedaling efficiency and small bump compliance. By placing the Knuckle Box low within the frame, the bulk of the weight is closer to the bottom bracket. This lowers the bike's center of gravity which helps to improve tracking and cornering. The four bar suspension design further increases control over wheel- rate. Wheel rate is the effective spring rate when measured at the wheel. Diamondback worked closely with Fox Suspension to optimize the wheel rate to be linear to slightly progressive. This results in small bump compliance, more perceived travel, and bottom- out protection.

Biographical history
The founding of the Calgary Power Co. Ltd. with the opening of its Horseshoe Falls hydroplant in 1911 brought large-scale, central-station-generated electricity to Alberta. Previously, part-time service had been supplied by small, privately-owned plants. Calgary Power's founder and first president was W. Max Aitken (later Lord Beaverbrook), and the headquarters was in Montreal. The company contracted to provide power for Calgary, the Canada Cement Plant (Exshaw), and Cochrane. The company was sold to Izaak Walton Killam in 1919. Killam owned Montreal Engineering Co. and the two firms had close ties. In the 1920s Calgary Power bought out other companies including Okotoks Electric Co., Calgary Water Power Co., and Wetaskiwin Utilities. Other companies were acquired and new hydroplants built in the following years. The company's "Modern All-Electric Kitchen" trailer toured Alberta in the 1930s to promote the use of electricity in the home. In 1947 the company head office was moved to Calgary. By that year 99% of Alberta's power came from the company, and divisional offices were in Edmonton, Camrose, Wetaskiwin, Calgary and Lethbridge. A Red Deer office opened in 1952. Rural cooperative associations were assisted by Calgary Power's non-profit subsidiary, Farm Electric Service, in electrifying Alberta's rural areas. This was fairly complete by 1958. In 1951 Calgary Power became the first remotely controlled hydro system in North America. In the 1950s it turned to thermal generating plants powered by coal and natural gas. During the mid-1950s Calgary Power sponsored radio programs called "Here's Alberta - People and Places" and "Calgary Power Discovers", which were broadcast on CFCN, CFRN, CHAT and CJOC. The company's name was changed to TransAlta Utilities Corporation in 1981. For further information see TransAlta Utilities : 75 Years of Progress / [Sue Andruschuk, writer/editor]. -- [Calgary : The Company, 1986] and Powering Generations : The TransAlta Story, 1911-2011 / TransAlta Corporation. --Calgary : Kingsley Publishing Services, 2011.

Say if one encounters someone who has any one of these scenarios or a combo of them and asks you for advice:
1. How to deal with a bodily spiritual possession case?
2. How to deal with a case of 'haunted' premises?
3. How to deal with someone who can perceive the 'unseen' and is disturbed by those 'entities'?
Now, let's not confine ourselves to only recommending medical/psychiatric advice, say after having gone through such procedures and when the medical world proclaims that they had done their best, what would you as a Buddhist (here open to any Tradition) say/do when a case like this falls in your hands?
This thread is seeking for practical steps to reach out a helping hand to such cases and not drown them in our own subjective skepticism or sarcastic analysis and conclusions.
If we can't help them, at least we can recommend them to someone else who can instead of giving them a dismissive attitude that can at times cause untoward, if not disastrous results, depending on the severity of the case.

She is a member of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Frontline Program. The program is designed to help protect vulnerable Democratic incumbents heading into the 2014 election.[2]
She is set to run for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014. If she runs, she will seek the Democratic nomination in the primary election. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Bustos is a more moderate left of center Democratic Party vote. As a result, she may break with the Democratic Party line more than her fellow members.
Bustos was born in Springfield, Illinois.[3] She earned her bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Maryland, College Park, and her master's degree in journalism from University of Illinois at Springfield. [3] She also attended Illinois College in Jacksonville, Illinois.[3]

- Agriculture Committee
- Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management
- Subcommittee on Livestock, Rural Development and Credit
- Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
- Subcommittee on Aviation
- Subcommittee on Highways and Transit
Legislative actions
113th Congress113th Congress enacted into law 224 out of the 3215 introduced bills (7 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[6] For more information pertaining to Bustos's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[7]
National security
DHS Appropriations
Bustos voted in favor of HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[8]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Bustos voted in favor of House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[8]
Bustos voted in favor of HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[9] The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[8]
Bustos voted in support of HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[8]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[10] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[11] Bustos voted against the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[12]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funds the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[13] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Bustos voted for HR 2775.[14]
Pay during government shutdown
Bustos asked that her paycheck be withheld during the shutdown.[15]
2013 Farm Bill
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
The comprehensive farm bill failed in the House due largely in part to the votes of 8 Democratic House members who joined the Republican majority to vote down the measure.[16] Reps. Collin Peterson, John Barrow, Bishop, Bustos, Sean Maloney, Mike McIntyre, Bill Owens, and Tim Walz were the 8 Democratic members who voted to reject the bill.[16] According to analysis by OpenSecrets, many of these Democratic members have received significant political contributions from agricultural organizations that benefit from crop insurance subsidies.[16] Five of the eight are on the House Agriculture Committee--Peterson, Bustos, Maloney, McIntyre, and Walz-- from which agribusiness firms routinely target committee members with sizable contributions.[16]
Morton Memos Prohibition
Bustos voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States. The vote largely followed party lines.[8]
Health Care Reform Rules
Bustos voted against House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[8]
Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act
Bustos voted against HR 2009 - Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013. The bill passed through the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 232-185. The bill would prevent the IRS and Treasury Secretary from enforcing the powers provided to them in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The vote largely followed party lines.[8]
Social issues
Amash amendment
Bustos did not vote on House Amendment 413 - Prohibits the National Security Agency from Collecting Records Under the Patriot Act. The amendment failed on July 4, 2013, by a vote of 205-217. The amendment would have prohibited the collection of records by the National Security Agency under the Patriot Act. Both parties were split on the vote.[8]
Campaign themes
On her campaign website Bustos has 10 leading issues that she is concerned about. They are:[17]
- Affordable Health Care: Excerpt: "The new reform law is not perfect, but makes real improvements in our health care system. It lowers costs for small businesses and makes sure you have coverage that cannot be taken away. It stops insurance companies from denying coverage of pre-existing conditions and allows children to stay on their parents' health insurance for longer. I will oppose any attempts to repeal these needed reforms. Instead, we should fix what does not work and pass further improvements that focus on lowering costs, while preserving patient choice and quality."
- Agriculture/ Rural Development: Excerpt: "We need to sustain and enhance our agricultural economy and take advantage of our natural resources as tools of economic competitiveness and growth. Soil, wind, sunshine and water are in abundant supply in our region. We can make them the foundation of development opportunities for ethanol, biodiesel, hydroelectric power and solar and wind energy. My vision to strengthen our agricultural economy, rural areas and small towns is anchored by economic growth and sustainability."
- Education: Excerpt: "In Congress, I will work hard to support our public schools and expand educational opportunities for lifelong learning. It is an outrage that the average college graduate enters the workforce with more than $25,000 in student loan debts. If education is the priority we say it is, then we need to back it up by protecting grant programs and working to reduce student loan costs."
- Energy and the Environment: Excerpt: "Affordable and reliable energy is critical to our economy as well as our quality of life. Unfortunately our politicians in Springfield and Washington have embraced policies that increase the cost of energy on small business and consumers as well as continue our dependency on foreign oil."
- Jobs and the Economy: Excerpt: "In addition to strong and growing businesses, we need strong and healthy labor organizations. I believe without labor unions we would not have a middle class – and today both are shrinking. We must turn that around. That's why have released a jobs plan and announced my campaign with a proposal to create a "Manufacturing Triangle" to focus our area on innovation and rebuilding our manufacturing base."
- Medicare and Social Security: Excerpt: "To ensure Medicare's long-term financial stability, we should implement common sense reforms to lower costs, like electronic medical records and better coordination of services. We should also use Medicare's negotiating power to get better prices, including for prescription drugs. And we must do a better job of eliminating fraud and abuse to help lower costs and preserve Medicare for generations to come. I also strongly oppose any attempt to privatize Social Security or cut benefits. Social Security is a critically important element of retirement and I will fight to protect it."
- Protecting Taxpayers & Reducing the Deficit: Excerpt: "We can start by implementing the recommendations of a nonpartisan Government Accountability Office report issued earlier this year that found widespread waste and inefficiency in federal programs. For example, the federal government has 47 job training programs, 44 of which overlap. Simply consolidating programs that overlap can save tens of billions of dollars while not impacting program quality. We should insist that Washington get more efficient and smarter, while making sure we protect the middle class and working families from higher taxes."
- Reforming Government: Excerpt: "Part of the problem – whether it's Washington or Springfield – is that our politicians have become so detached from the rest of us and our daily lives, that they don't feel the same sense of urgency to solve the problems we face. That needs to change. I believe we need more everyday people in public service – people who are raising families on two incomes, who cut coupons and have to balance their checkbooks. I also support more transparency in government and additional accountability measures to ensure that our tax dollars are not wasted nor used to help pad the pockets of special interests in Washington. To borrow from one of Illinois' best, I believe it's time that we got back to a government of the people, by the people, for the people."
- Veterans and Our Armed Forces: Excerpt: "We should fully fund veterans' health care benefits and make full funding mandatory by law. Anything less is a disgrace. We must also provide state-of-the-art care for traumatic brain injuries and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If any veteran has difficulties navigating the Veterans Administration system for care or getting their needed benefits, I will work doggedly to cut through the red-tape and get them the benefits they have earned. In addition, I support providing our service members with help returning to the workforce, financial planning, as well as job training and college opportunities."
- Women's Issues: Excerpt: "I support a woman's right to choose and will work to ensure that this remains a decision made by women, not the government. I believe a woman's reproductive health is critically important and support access to family planning and reproductive freedom. In addition, I believe we should expand efforts to use stem cell research to find cures for diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's."

Comments about Set of 4 Apple Trivets and Holder:
I bought this to match my kitchens Apple design. It looks great and keeps trivets within easy reach when needed. Trivets are thick so they protect counter tops well. It was a little hard to assemble as screws really needed some muscle to get them to go all the way in. You will also need a phillips head screwdriver that has a very small Head. As the screws are very tiny. Looks great on counter and performs a needed purpose. I love it !

THOUSANDS of punters flocked to Cartmel Races for the course's biggest meeting of the year, spread over three days.
The traditional Bank Holiday Monday event attracted a crowd of 16,000 to watch the seven races.
Jonathan Garratt, Cartmel Racecourse managing director, said the bookies did not fare too badly.
"I think it has been mixed; they have had some favourites going in but I'm sure they have had ups and downs."
Punters successfully backed legendary racer Tony McCoy, who appeared on Monday.
Yesterday, too, proved a rare highlight for racegoers as three Cheltenham Festival horses went on parade for Veterans Day.
Chief Dan George, who is trained just a mile from Cartmel by Jimmy Moffatt, was joined by Mister McGoldrick and Hussard Collonges.
"We have had a lot of people who are on half-term holiday but it's also the day when racing enthusiasts from all over the country come and have their day at Cartmel because the course is slightly less overcrowded," said Mr Garratt.
Meanwhile, a racing steward became the first person to join an exclusive Cartmel 'club'.
Officiating at Saturday's races signalled a landmark for Colin Vickers — it meant he had visited every racecourse in Britain.
Cartmel Racecourse chairman Lord Cavendish presented Mr Vickers with a souvenir badge, which coincided with the launch of an I've Saved The Best Until Last club.
Anyone completing a visit to all Britain's racecourses with a trip to Cartmel will now receive one of the specially-commissioned badges.
Mr Garratt said: "When I came here I was amazed how many people said they had been to every other racecourse before they tasted the unique delights of Cartmel.
"I realised that they were saving the best until last."
A VERY small Beatrix Potter drawing has sold for nearly £50,000 at an auction in America.
The three-and-three-quarter inches by six inches ink and watercolour had been expected to sell for up to 37,500 at the Sotheby's auction, in New York, but reached £47,438
The miniature, called 'Guinea pigs going to their garden...' was among 193 original illustrations sold by wealthy American couple, Kendra and Allan Daniel. The painting depicts four guinea pigs following a fifth along a path carrying garden tools.
A spokesman for Sotheby's said: "Early in 1893, when she was in her twenties, Beatrix Potter borrowed a number of guinea pigs from her friend, Miss Paget. One, named Mr Chopps, proved to be no problem but another, named Queen Elizabeth, apparently 'took to eating blotting paper, pasteboard, string and other curious substances and expired during the night. A pair of gardening illustrations date from this time: four guinea pigs following a blue-coated guinea pig and four guinea pigs working under the guidance of the blue-coated guinea pig.
"These were later redrawn in 1922 and used in Potter's book Cecil Parsley's Nursery Rhymes."

8-Days-a-Week Jacket 3 3
There was not a size in this jacket that fit. At first, I ordered a large, my usual size, and it was too large through the shoulders, length and sleeve length. I exchanged it for a medium and it was too tight through the chest, although it fit elsewhere. I liked the look of the jacket but not the fit. You need to be taller that 5'10"for it to fit. April 9, 2014
Good Value with sale price The look is as the picture, I think you might call it English country squire. It's a personal taste how you like that. The material feels smooth and is fairly lightweight. Looks reasonably formal although my opinion is that the pattern is quite casual. The fit is almost a size too large. I normally am between a M and L so I typically get L and accept a touch too large but this was like a tent. I exchanged for a M which is a touch large for me but acceptable. I hope that the care is as easy as advertised. For the sale price I think it is very good value. I am happy but would not purchase it for full price. September 23, 2014
Husband loves it I got this for my husband as a travel jacket. He likes the "English Squire" look - casual, but can also be his jacket at dinner. One plus is the inside pockets - one that zips are big enough for travel documents. March 4, 2014

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928). 1896-9. Front (north) elevation. Photograph and text by
Despite or even because of its uphill backstreet setting, this building has achieved iconic status. It recently made news when it was judged the finest building of the last 175 years by RIBA (the Royal Institute of British Architects), after a poll of both professional and public opinion. Hugh Pearman, editor of the RIBA Journal, explained that it is "rooted in its urban context, and is a total work of art, from concept to fine detail," adding, "the building is superb, has stood the test of time magnificently, and is the deserved winner." The final choice had lain between Mackintosh's design and the Crystal Palace, which tells us much (in case we need to be reminded) about the hugely innovative architecture of the Victorian period. The verdict was no surprise. Writing nearly twenty years ago, the architectural historian James Stevens Curl accounted for something of the School of Art's extraordinary impact when he described its north front as having "certain Art-Nouveau elements judiciously mixed with a tough Scottish native style of building and motifs taken from factories, warehouses and the buildings of the Arts-and-Crafts Domestic Revival" (140).

Health Tip Of The Day
Breath equals life
Any yogi will tell you that breath equals life. Practice calm and balanced abdominal breathing, in and out of the nostrils. This allows the lungs to be used to their greatest capacity. Once you master this breathing technique, its calming effect will spill over into your daily life, allowing you to feel peaceful in stressful situations. A recent study finds that B vitamin supplements reduce the risk of developing very high levels of homocysteine in people with celiac disease and, according to researchers, "should be considered in disease management.

Debit taxes are charged on debits to bank accounts. The types of debit taxes and how they apply are different in each state and territory. A key step in the Government's tax system reforms is the abolition of these taxes.
In January 2002, New South Wales was the first state to abolish Debits Tax (charged on debits to accounts with cheque facilities).
From 1 July 2005 the following additional taxes and duties were abolished:
On 1 July ANZ ceased charging the above taxes and duties on debits made from all applicable accounts. Debit taxes or duties may, in some cases, continue to be recovered for debit entries due on or before 30 June 2005.
Please note that Credit Business Duty continues to apply to accounts domiciled in Queensland. This tax, however, is scheduled to be abolished from 1 January 2006.
ANZ recommends that customers seek independent financial and legal advice regarding taxation issues.

How to Mount the Ceiling Fan
Install the hanger bracket to the box with screws and lock washers. Use lock washers to prevent the fan's vibration from loosening the screws. Connect the wires by matching black to black and white to white by twisting to the right with wire nuts. Wrap with electrical tape. Next, ground the fan to the box. A grounding wire is either green or a bare copper wire. Using a wire nut and twisting right, connect the ground wires from the box and the fan together. Wrap each wire nut with electrical tape and gently push wiring inside the box. Finish by installing any other decorative pieces.
Ceiling fans are an economical way to reduce heating and cooling costs. While hiring a professional electrical contractor is the best way to ensure your fixture is installed according to building codes, it is also the most expensive option. Careful do-it-yourself weekend warriors can install a ceiling fan and enjoy year round comfort.

NEWORLEANS- How many times do New Orleanians ask how to solve the violence and murder rate?
How many marches and funerals have there been?
Now one man with a criminal past is working to stop it.
And he's gotten the attention of Oprah Winfrey and maybe even Hollywood.
Ameer Baraka, 42, is using his gravitas, clout, and fame as an actor, producer and model, to tell his story of saving New Orleans teens. But he's also using his past as a convicted violent criminal.
'The murder came from just anti-social values. Someone does me something, I respond in a negative way. The drugs just numbed me. It numbed me. It kept me numb,' Baraka said.
In the Calliope development, at 14 years old, heroin, cocaine, and guns were his life. His mentor, a drug supplier. Dealing afforded him nice clothes and electronics his family couldn't.
'I thought he was helping me where I would sell two eight balls of cocaine and he would give me one free so I would make more money. So at a very young age, I would have Motorbox. I had the nice clothes and everything,' he said.
The dealer was his father figure.
'There was a grandmother who is a very spiritual woman, who basically raised us while my mother worked two jobs. My mother did the best that she could but a woman can not raise a man. Men need to raise men and I didn't have that component, so they would spank me and they would beat me,' Baraka remembers.
But in prison, his mentors were older men who had reformed their character.
''Young man you're different. There's something special about you. You're different than the other guys.' And no one had never told me that,' Baraka said, quoting the men who mentored him in prison.
Behind bars at Cottonport, he taught himself to read, got a GED and poured himself into books and physical fitness. When he got out and lived in Los Angeles, acting and modeling exposed him to a new life and travel in Europe.
'And it's like wow black people are walking the street with white people. I mean, it's just, people don't even see color there.'
Then a role on Treme' brought him home. But nothing had changed, corruption was still on the streets and in government offices. So his next role was in inner city schools teaching values and morals. He brought hopeless students to work on the set of Treme', to learn how the free market works. That mentoring introduced him to Dr. Peter Scharf, a criminal justice expert at Tulane.
'We want to solve this murder problem in the city. Last year we were at 193 murders, you know, which is ridiculous. You know we tend to think the solution is the government. They may be the problem,' said Dr. Scharf.
They became great friends, teammates for change.
'The other thing he doesn't tell you is he hangs out in the Calliope with these kids who are about the kill other kids and talks them out of it,' Dr. Scharf said about Baraka.
Over sandwiches at the Subway on Carrollton Ave., the two created the idea of a new show called 'NOLA life.' Baraka plays himself, saving teens from the sordid drug and gun culture. On screen and behind the scenes, all locals get the jobs. Those he mentors in real life, reenact the roles.
'He understands us. He know where we come from. He know where we been. He know what we do,' said Sharell Peters, 16, a sophomore at Bonnabel who met Baraka when he taught a life skills class at Booker T. Washington. She says she 'adores Mr. Ameer' and now wants to be an actress.
'My passion is to work with kids. My passion is to send kids to St. Augustine, to Brother Martin, to these great schools, because I know education pays off with great values and morals. Imagine if LeBron James, imagine if Jay-Z, imagine if T.I. would start mentoring, who had the desire to start mentoring and taking some of their resources and start helping kids go to school. Imagine if they could start telling young black men, 'Listen, the gun is not the way. The books are the way.'' said Baraka who now knows some of the big names in the entertainment industry.
Now the Oprah Winfrey Network wants an interview.
'I was in prison and I used to get in front of the mirror and I used to see my self interviewing with Oprah. What broke my faith was when she got off the air, I'm like, 'Oh, it will never happen now.''
When her talk show ended, he thought the dream was over. Now it's coming true.
'One man can really change the world. One person. It takes one person,' he said passionately.
And you are invited to a free screening party of NOLA Life tonight at 8:00 at Club Ampersand, 1100 Tulane Ave. The dress code for men, collared shirts, or with jeans, a jacket.
Baraka says behind every angry or violent teen there is a reason, like neglect or abuse.
His show will be on the web but three network production companies are interested.
