If you haven't heard of Chris-Craft Boats, you probably don't know your port from your starboard—this builder can be traced back to Christopher Columbus Smith, who began building boats in 1874 at the age of 13. Although the company has gone through many acquisitions, changes, and modifications since that time, it remains an industry powerhouse with a range of 19 boats including runabouts, cruisers, and center consoles. Today's models feature a mix of classic styling and eye appeal with performance and ultra-modern construction techniques and design.

Like I said, stuff that I ordered from them has been shipped via Royal Mail/USPS despite what they say on their shipping page.
If they do ship via FedEx, you'll probably pay about $25-30 in fees plus duty although my last FedEx shipment they only charged $6 in fees plus the duty. I was kind of surprised. Duty on clothes is typically higher percentage than for shoes. For shoes like Tricker's the duty rate should be about 8.5% as compared to the Barbour jacket I just got which was at 15.9%.

I couldn't cosign this more strongly. The brogue boots at Aldo were even superior to that junk Cucinelli was peddling.
Dear All,
I proposed an MTO Desert Boot a few weeks ago .... there are three orders, we need three more.
Please let Richard at Shoe Healer know if you are interested otherwise, sadly, this MTO will sink.
The spec:
Burford Boot on 4497s last, Fitting 5.
Gaucho Repello Suede.
Mushroom Binding.
Natural Barbour Welt.
Brown Dainite Sole.
Vintage Green Calf Lining.
Brown Pull Loops.
Four Brass Eyelets, Three Brass Ski-Hooks.
Leather Laces.
Here is a picture of one in a different colour:
and a Stow in Gaucho:
Merry Christmas
Dear All,
Happy New Year.
Sadly, we don't seem to have enough interest in this MTO. I might start saving and go for it anyway, but it looks like we might have to forget it as a group order.
However, if three more interested fellows show up I am sure that we can resurrect the deal. One person has suggested a Commando sole alternative .... certainly possible!
All best,

Bridgman's method for the head...
Recently i have bought this book (the reprint of Constructive Anatomy), and since i'm already learning anatomy and memory drawing from this site, i have decided to use this book as a "completion".
I have read the part about the head because that's where i am at, and frankly i don't get it why Mr. Bridgman uses a box/cube to start drawing the head in his approach..
I am used to start things by drawing a slight oval shape.
Overall i just think(from the few pages i have read so far) that this book is a little vague. I find it hard to believe that when an artist needs to draw the human head he will start his construction with boxes etc.
What do you think?

A box, a circle, oval and a sphere are all used in several books(loomis, bridgeman,...) to start constructing the face.
Just see what works for you and run with it.
Some people just prefer to see the head in boxlike forms from which they carve away the excess, some people prefer to see the head as a circle and add the facial features onto it.

The head isn't really round or oval. Having people draw it in a box will prevent people from drawing a head like children draw them. To draw the head properly in perspective it's also easier to use a box.
The construction/understanding of the planes of the head and their influence on light and shadow is also easier when working with flat surfaces instead of curves and round surfaces.
Both circle and box are methods to help you understand certain aspects.

Box is alot easier for me so I can see the planes easier, I'm just a noob however, it has made it easier to distinguish.
May 27th, 2009 #5
With a box, you get the direction the mass is facing defined clearly in three dimensions as well as the major planes. It's also very conducive to thinking about symmetry. You can get all this using a sphere or an egg, but without care it won't be as clear as with a box (i.e. a lot of people misplace the centerlines on a sphere turning in space, and then all the subsequent features are skewed).

hmm anyway for me starting with an oval and then carving and sculpting the features and overall shape makes it more intuitive, its a lot easier to handle various angles of the head, this is just my opinion. I will try to give the box method a chance though.. :-)
May 27th, 2009 #7
This is the answer:
Carving and modelling can be accomplished with either approach. Just like boxes, spheres can be constructed using planes: by rotating a circular plane. Sketchup is an easy way to see this.
"Having people draw it in a box will prevent people from drawing a head like children draw them."
Loomis gives a genius approach in "Fun With A Pencil" that is derived from the way kids draw heads. The circle that kids use is an abstract way of representing an object. The circle could be anything: man, machine, animal, plant, and so on.
"Both circle and box are methods to help you understand certain aspects."
"Box is alot easier for me so I can see the planes easier"
The understanding of surfaces, and the direction of the masses, is inate. Boxes and ovals are just shorthand ways of jotting down pose ideas. Without that inate understanding they're useless.

I think that it is best to try both the oval and the box method in order to understand different points and to see what works best for you. I have been using ovals, though I'm going to be starting Bridgman studies soon, so I don't really have a preference yet.

It's not either/or. The different approaches are only different in emphasis, not in the underlying concept, which is to get you to think in terms of three-dimensional construction.

Bridgman is very vague, but in a good way. His books helped me allot with general shapes, but when he gets specific with faces things fall apart. What he does well is explaining the mechanics of human anatomy. Don't bother with his book on heads though. He is only good for one chapter on that subject (boxes). I also wouldn't recommend his "book of a hundred hands" because 100 poses of the hand doesn't cut it. You just have to learn to draw your own hands (total pain in the ass)
I wouldn't spend $70 on a dvd. I actually bought a bridgeman book for under a buck on amazon, but the s&h was like $6.
If you don't like bridgeman try Hogarth.

Bridgman's cubes
I recently picked up Loomis's construction method and it really helped me. Without construction geometry, you are drawing a head like you would draw a landscape or a potato, but a human head has so much internal structure and symmetry that it makes sense to me to use it.
I would like to add my complaint here about Bridgman's construction method in Heads, Features and Faces. If you already knew where to put the nose, ear, cheekbone and chin and still don't know where to put the eyes, I suppose this is useful. I am unimpressed.
from page 58:
1. Number one line is drawn down the face touching the root and base of the nose.
2. Number two line from the base of the ear at a right angle to number one, with no relation to the face as to where the line crosses.
3. Number three line is drawn from the cheekbone at its greatest width to the outer border of the chin.
4. Where two and three intersect, start the fourth line and carry it to the base of the nose.

I've never been able to make heads or tails out of Bridgman's "draw the head in 4 lines" thing.
LOL! If you've got something with a cheekbone and a chin, you've pretty much got your head drawn already!
As far as drawing line 2 at a right angle: does this mean always at an actual right angle? Or, does it mean the way that a right angle would appear in perspective?
It's always been a mystery to me.
August 30th, 2010 #15
Over the years I've learned both ways of approaching a head drawing or painting. I find that, for me, I use a blend. I start with a circle or oval for the cranium and I drop a wedge for the chin according to where the head is looking. I then find the mid-line of the face and locate the corners of the eyes and the thirds (in perspective usually). From there I carve the brow ridge and carve the sides of the head from the front - I then place the nose, eyes, muzzle, and pull the chin in last.
That's my basic approach. I'm careful to build everything off the mid-line of the face and to think about continuity and wrapping of forms around the face. I carve all the major planes into the face like the eye wedge, the sides of the cranium, the sides of face, the back of the cranium. The face will usually sit above or below eye level, so it's important to take perspective into consideration when applying the thirds and placing the corners of the eyes.
Hope this helps

Hey Raileyh,
Just rediscovered your thread in Fine Arts.
Haven't asked anyone this in awhile.
How fast can you draw a decent solidly rendered head with your method?
And, just for continuity, do you have any idea how that 4 line Bridgman head drawing thing is supposed to work?
[I'm beginning to think it doesn't work! Why? It appears to be based on an isometric cube like draftsmen would use to draw machine parts. It's not demonstrated by Bridgman with a cube that is in proper perspective!]

The four line thing has always seemed loony to me. I find most of bridgeman's writing completely incomprehensible. I just look at the pictures.
August 31st, 2010 #18
Here's a scan of the 4 line method from the Bridgman "Complete Guide."
1. The block he predicates this head upon does not have lines that converge into the distance. Rather, they splay outward when extended. For the way things appear in nature this is wrong.
2. Looking at the next head based on this block, we see that the far side of the figure's forehead is too tall. Being that it is farther away from the "picture plane," it should appear shorter/smaller than the closer side of the forehead. This carries through the perspective error from the block.
Further, if a head proportion block is drawn in correct perspective, and the standard 3.5 units is used to measure the heads height, it is a simple matter to construct a line that passes under the figure's nose level without the need to draw several other construction lines.
There're a lot of great things in Bridgman's various works. And, using the simple Asaro-type planes to block in a head is a valuable tool.
But, this diagram is seriously in error!

To answer your question, I can tackle a head in 20 minutes or so. I've seen 5 minute drawings by Fred Fixler that are insane, the amount of information he was able to fit into 5 minutes is remarkable. I keep at the 5-10 minute poses, but they are crazy hard.
I think I'm still trying to figure out the 4 line thing. It doesn't seem to make much sense in it's limited amount of information.

Kamber Parrk: Thanks for posting a picture of the 4 lines. It was a curious choice for Bridgman to build from an Isometric cube. Oh well, I've vented.
I appreciate your mention of the Asaro planes of the head, too -- I hadn't seen that before.

I believe the cube thing is just for simply understanding perspective's effect on the head.

a quick note from my experience: the third line in the Bridgeman method is the most important line when drawing different types of characters. By placing that line, you'll see how easy it is to define a certain type of face. Imagine an ant moving between from the cheekbone to the chin, following the relief of the face and lay down that line.
i never draw the 4th line, i just go free-flow from the third. As far as i understood Bridgeman, first line is line the symmetry axis of the face, second is a right-angle line to the first connecting it to the lobe of the ear, the third is seemingly unconnected to the others, i think it's supposed to be placed instinctually. As for the 4th, i didn't get it.
what's important is that you can define character very well by drawing the third line (highlighted in blue), even if you don't follow Bridgeman's method fully.

Big Six to feel the sting from Ottawa closing loophole
Canada's big banks are starting to discuss the impact from one of the bank-specific proposals in the 2015 federal budget, pointing out that 1 to 2 per cent of their total earnings are likely to disappear if the proposal becomes reality.
The government wants to clamp down on a complex trading strategy, known as synthetic equity arrangements, that has rewarded the banks with unintended tax breaks. The strategy essentially allows banks to get tax-free dividend income using derivatives, and the proposal in the budget intends to stop the practice.More »

The federal government's promise to introduce voluntary contributions to the Canada Pension Plan could introduce public-sector competition into a fiercely competitive private industry.
As banks, insurers and independent wealth managers compete to invest and manage Canadians' savings, it is not yet clear how new discretionary CPP supplements would be managed, whether they could be withdrawn or how much a person could contribute. But in the planned consultations announced by Finance Minister Joe Oliver on Tuesday, industry representatives will almost certainly home in on these potential sticking points.More »

Five blessings from Bay Street's bull run
Bay Street is buzzing with deal flow, and that's created some broad market benefits that are easy to overlook. Below are five blessings from the current bull run:
Non-resource companies finally get some love
In normal markets, materials and energy companies comprise roughly half the S&P/TSX Composite Index. But in these unusual times, spurred by the recent rout in commodity prices, many investors have rotated into sectors such as consumer staples. While there remains a flurry of energy financings – Crescent Point just raised $600-million to finance its acquisition of Legacy Oil + Gas – everything from retail companies to technology startups are getting some love. Such demand allowed Wajax Corp., an industrial parts and service company, to raise $65-million on Tuesday.More »

TD eyes U.S. yields in Nordstrom credit-card deal
After Toronto-Dominion Bank announced a deal on Tuesday that will see the lender acquire retailer Nordstrom Inc.'s U.S. Visa and private-label consumer credit card portfolio, it became clear that the lender's credit-card ambitions are far from satisfied.
TD has emerged as a serious player since 2013, after acquiring Target Corp.'s $5.9-billion (U.S.) credit-card portfolio and buying half of the Aeroplan portfolio from Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce for another $3-billion (Canadian) in balances.More »

IPO market booming across diverse sectors. But will it last?
NIALL McGEE
Asking an investment banker how the Canadian initial public offering market is in 2015 is a little like asking one of those burly Oktoberfest servers how stein sales are in Munich in October. Clearly, business is good right now. But how good is good? And will it last?
"The pipeline is as heavy as I've ever seen in my career," said Peter Miller, head of equity capital markets at BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., who was speaking at the TSX Equities Trading Conference 2015 on Tuesday in Toronto.More »

John Baird joins law firm Bennett Jones
Law firm Bennett Jones LLP says it has hired former foreign minister John Baird, who abruptly quit politics in February.

Montreal's Stingray upsizes IPO to $140-million
Montreal media company Stingray Digital Group is upsizing its previously announced initial public offering amid a frothy market for share sales in Canada.
The privately-held company, best known in Canada for its commercial-free music streaming service Galaxie, now Stingray Music, will increase its planned $120-million offering to $140-million. An overallotment option worth about $21-million and a secondary private placement worth $19-million will bring the total deal to about $180-million.More »

If everything's expensive, why are Canadian pension funds buying?
Canada's biggest pension funds are piling into riskier assets at breakneck speeds, and no one's saying peep about it.
Either Canadians are incredibly comfortable betting their golden years on private assets such as real estate, infrastructure, and private debt and equity, which are less liquid than your average stock and bond, or they are clueless as to what pension funds are up to.More »

Joe Oliver puts U.S. Volcker rule in the crosshairs
How far is Joe Oliver willing to go to get Canadian bond trading among U.S. banks exempt from the Volcker rule?
Although the federal Finance Minister invoked the North American free-trade agreement (NAFTA) when he spoke in New York earlier this month, implying the threat of a formal complaint in order to ease restrictions, for now he may just stick with making a sound argument to U.S. regulators.More »

Despite debt pledge, Valeant's M&A streak not done
NIALL McGEE
Doing deals is in the DNA of Canada's Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc., so even though the company has lately been emphasizing its growth from operations, investors have applauded its mergers and acquisitions strategy by relentlessly bidding up its stock.
Valeant chief executive officer Michael Pearson didn't tip his hand in a chat Thursday with The Globe and Mail on when and where the next big deal might come from, but he did suggest how the company might pay for it.More »

Bay Street's astronomical deal flow cause for concern
These are words no one on Bay Street wants to hear: Watch out, these markets are nuts. When deals sell this easily, it usually means there's far too much market froth.
It used to be that a billion-dollar equity offering was a big event. Yet when Element Financial announced plans to raise $2.2-billion on Wednesday, there was almost no reason to blink. Since January, Canada's capital markets have seen at least six billion-dollar equity offerings, and such gigantic deals now seem almost run of the mill.More »

Investment banks make $9.2-million (U.S.) on Shopify IPO
NIALL McGEE
Early investors aren't the only people making mad money on the slam-dunk initial public offering of Shopify Inc.
The investment banks that underwrote the share offering are splitting almost $9.2-million (U.S.) in fees. The commission on the share sale was 7 per cent according to the final prospectus filed Thursday, which is 200 basis points more than Cara Operations Ltd. paid out to its bankers earlier in the year when it went public.More »

NIALL McGEE
While Shopify Inc. doesn't make any money yet, its early shareholders have made a huge paper gain on its highly successful initial public offering.
The stock, which was priced at $17 (all figures in U.S.) a share in the prospectus, rocketed up to $28.74 a share on the New York Stock Exchange before settling down to around $26 – a 33-per-cent improvement over the prospectus price.More »

How two judges came to the same surprising decision in Nortel case
I think we should all take a moment to appreciate that the Nortel Networks Corp. decisions of the Ontario Commercial List and the Delaware Bankruptcy Court represent the kind of Bay Street drama more regularly found at Ben McNally or the Canadian Opera Company.
Really, the plot summary is the stuff of Homer. A great house rapidly rises and then spectacularly falls, leaving three different countries to fight over the remains of the estate. They employ "scorched earth" tactics in their battle, hiring a cadre of mercenaries ( lawyers) to do their bidding. Finally, after two grand confrontations in two of the most powerful jurisdictions in North America, the crane lowers two great gods – Justice Newbould of the Commercial List and Judge Gross in Delaware – deus ex machina, to scold the combatants and to mete out justice in a most unexpected way.More »

Shift in demographics brings boomer turnover to private equity
As Canada's baby boomers march toward retirement, investors are lining up to take the reins from aging entrepreneurs parting ways with the small businesses they founded and built.
Some private equity groups are looking to step in and buy up these independent retailers, manufacturers and vendors, when owners can't pass the business to the next generation or where management teams are unable to buy them.More »

Canada embraces 'blank cheque' acquisition firms
They came to Canada only three months ago, but special purpose acquisition companies – or SPACs – are already winning over investors.
These acquisition vehicles tap investors for funds, and then use the proceeds to strike a deal. Because they aren't allowed to have a specific acquisition target in mind while fundraising, SPACs are sometimes called "blank cheque companies." After fundraising, they have two years to complete a purchase.More »

Will Bay Street's bottom line on Hydro One IPO be low enough for Ontario?
NIALL McGEE and DAVID BERMAN
If the Ontario government thinks it can pay a rock-bottom fee to banks for underwriting the Hydro One initial public offering, it may be disappointed.

Why Michael Lee-Chin has turned his back on public markets
An hour and a half into my raucous and illuminating meeting with Michael Lee-Chin, the billionaire investor starts to worry he's crossed a line. "Am I harassing you?" he asks.
Our sit-down isn't so much an interview as a mental sparring match. Mr. Lee-Chin has a new asset-management company, called Mandeville Holdings Inc., and his aggressive marketing line is that Canadians won't create wealth unless they invest in private holdings such as venture capital, real estate and private equity funds.More »

Power Financial CEO warns against sweeping retirement reforms
Canadians are anxious over their security in retirement, but their fears are likely overblown in the view of Power Financial Corp. chief executive Jeffrey Orr.
Misinformation about what's best for Canadians' retirement savings, combined with hand-wringing over the status of their investments, is putting the country at risk of adopting sweeping reforms that don't benefit at-risk groups, said Mr. Orr, who comes from an investment and banking background.More »

In Defenders of Wildlife v. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, the court held that environmental reviews of the specific impacts of the Deepwater Horizon spill were not required before BOEM issued new leases in the Gulf. In Gulf Restoration Network, Inc. v. Salazar, the Fifth Circuit dismissed a number of consolidated challenges under NEPA on grounds that the environmental groups had failed to participate in the underlying administrative proceedings as required by OCSLA.

The handheld gaming market has been dominated by Nintendo for a generation, but that doesn't stop upstarts and veteran companies alike from taking a shot at the crown. NeoGeo X Gold is the remake of the handheld that had the best feeling controls that I can remember and it's all coming back this December. The Playstation Vita blew everybody away with its features and horsepower. It's too bad nobody wanted to buy it or it's games. With NeoGeo though, the approach appears to be simple: the games you know and love for the simple price of $199.99.
The list of games pre-loaded on the NeoGeo X Gold includes: Fatal Fury, Fatal Fury Special, The King of Fighters '95, Metal Slug and Samurai Showdown II. Some of you haven't seen those games since the 1990s, so we'll understand if you do a little Running Man dance on the inside at the thought of firing up Samurai Showdown II again. There are 20 games in total that come preloaded on the NeoGeo X Gold, but those are the ones that stood out for us.
Still not sure if you'll be able to add new games to the 20 built-in titles either via download or storage format. We do know that you'll be able to play on a big screen via an HDMI port. Look for NeoGeo X Gold on a store shelf near you this December 6.

USTA rating...and getting bumped up
Anyone out there know how the DNTRP works and how it calculates your current rating on a per match basis. My question is how to avoid being bumped up to the next level before the season or regionals are over. Does it take into account your match scores (i.e how many games you lose vs how many you win). If you are beating an opponent soundly....does it help if you intentionally lose a couple of games to preserve your current NTRP rating.

Someone posted this awhile back, get out your calculater...
If you are good enough to lose just the right number of games to preserve your current NTRP rating without losing the match you are most likely good enough to win a few the next level up, and it's always more fun to go for the big win rather than trying to lose some.

Everything runs down from the Nationals Visual Ratings. Visual ratings are given to each player at Nationals. Every match that person played previously is then compared according to the (very complicated) method cak listed in the post above. Each opponent is given a computer rating. Then every person the opponent played is given a rating based on their match outcomes. Then their opponents...you get the picture.
The issue is that you do not know what score you need to get because you do not have access to a person's actual numeric rating. For example, an opponent you are playing in 4.0s may be computer rated 3.57 or 4.02. You do not know when you are playing what true impact the win will have on your rating. And unless you are a very accurate psychic, you are also unable to tell what meaning that win he had over the guy-who-went-to-nationals-and-got-visually-moved-up will have on his rating, and thus your rating.
A neat little trick arose though when my team went to nationals in 2002. My partner and I went into nationals computer rated 4.0 and 4.5 respectively. We were both verified there as 4.5. My partner, because of personal reasons, did not play a single USTA match the following year, and his rating returned to his 4.0 computer rating. Apparently, the visual rating only has an impact for the next year. The hope is that by playing matches at the higher level, the computer will keep the player at the new higher rating. If no matches are played, it seems to automatically revert back to the most recent computer rating.
From my experience with the DNTRP (playing in a pilot section and since), the best way to avoid the computer rating you up is to self-rate accurately, and to not play in higher rating divisions. If you are playing in your correct level, then go out and kick some tail. If you are "playing up" in USTA events, then you are probably not going to have a choice come next year. I hope this helps.

Bruins, Hurricanes scoreless after one
|02.01.11 at 7:47 pm ET
The Bruins and Hurricanes are scoreless after a period, with the B's outshooting Carolina, 15-10.
The Bruins were shorthanded twice in the period, with Daniel Paille and Michael Ryder going off for hooking and interference, respectively. Neither Hurricanes power plays yielded goals, though Paille had a breakaway opportunity for the Bruins when he hopped out of the box. Tim Thomas made some big saves, and even went without his mask for a few seconds, on the first penalty kill.
Milan Lucic and Jay Harrison dropped the gloves briefly, though the fight yielded very few punches before beanbag broken up.
with Lucic in the box, Claude Julien went with tweaked lines, and a line of Wheeler-Campbell-Thornton would have produced the game's first goal were it not for Cam Ward robbing Blake Wheeler in front.
The period ended with a bang, as Steven Kampfer crushed fellow rookie Jeff Skinner accepted a pass coming into the Bruins' zone.

WASHINGTON, August 3
Today's political match-ups (personality driven, per usual):
Joe Lieberman versus Joe Lieberman. (Ned Lamont is just a stand in.)
Donald Rumsfeld versus Hillary Clinton. (Senator Warner is just a gaveler.)
President Bush versus his poll standing on immigration in the Bloomberg/LAT poll. (The State of the Union is just a distant memory.)
Ken Mehlman versus the Ghost of Ed Gillespie Past. (History is just a cruel prison.)
Harold Ford versus the definition of the New South. (Jim Margolis's ads are just a necessary -- but not sufficient -- element.)
According to a Quinnipiac poll released this morning, Ned Lamont has opened up a 54 - 41 percent lead over Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) among likely Democratic primary voters. Grim as that is for the incumbent, one has the informed sense that the 13 percentage point gap might actually show the race closer than some other data that Lieberman has seen of late.
Undaunted, Sen. Lieberman continues to travel around Connecticut talking to voters today, attending a voter drive in Bristol and spending the rest of the afternoon shaking hands in West Hartford. Challenger Ned Lamont breakfasts with Rev. Jesse Jackson in Hartford then travels to Middletown and Meriden before returning to Hartford for a rally.
The main event at today's RNC summer meeting in Minneapolis, MN comes from 5:00-6:30 pm ET when RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman and White House political director Sara Taylor walk RNC members through the 2006 electoral landscape at the "Welcome Meeting and Strategy Session." Mehlman and Taylor are expected to take questions from RNC members. Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN) is also slated to speak at the welcome meeting.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is also a part of the fray in Minnesota, starting with a closed fundraiser at the Minneapolis Club for Patty Wetterling, Democratic candidate for the 6th District. At 3:00 pm ET, she will address the "Democratic New Direction for America" conference with Reps. Martin Sabo (D-MN) and Betty McCollum (D-MN) at the Humphrey Forum at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
In Tennessee today, Rep. Harold E. Ford Jr. (D-TN) learns which Republican he will face in his quest to become the first black U.S. Senator elected in the South since Reconstruction.
The state's Republican Senate primary is a three-way contest between Bob Corker, a former Chattanooga mayor, Ed Bryant, a former House member who ran unsuccessfully for the Senate in 2002, and Van Hilleary, a former House member who ran unsuccessfully for governor that same year. (See below for more on Tennessee).
Back in Washington, the Senate continues its hectic, final week before August recess. The Senate Armed Services Committee hosts Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Peter Pace, and Army General John Abizaid at a 9:30 am ET hearing on Iraq, Afghanistan, and the global war on terrorism. Rumsfeld initially said his calendar was too crowded to testify before reversing course. Secretary Rumseld, Gen. Pace, and Secretary Rice participate in a closed 2:00 pm ET briefing on Iraq for members of the Senate. LINK
The New York Post curtain raises today's Senate Armed Services Committee hearing with the Clinton-centric focus, after the Junior Senator from New York's taunting press release preceded the SecDef's decision to appear. LINK

As for plugins half of the ones I was using didn't get updated, so they are pretty parse right now.
If you like to cheat, I suggest voxel more. It lets you type /more and it will give you a full stack of any item you are holding. Makes it a lot easier to build things than spending the time getting resources. If you're only going to be playing a couple of hours a week you'll probably spend most of your time mining for stuff.
Minecart mania has some really neat stuff to it. It isn't as needed as before now with all of the booster tracks, but it can still provide lots of ways to make traveling easier.
I have another plugin called proper time which is useful for speeding up night time since it takes way too long. Have it set to double time for dusk and night so you don't spend 5 minutes in pitch black just standing there.

How can I bear the disappointment of getting my period each month?
Although my husband and I have been trying for a baby for nearly two years now, tests haven't found anything wrong with either of us. I feel depressed and extremely upset each time I get my period. Plus, we can't afford IVF right now -- I'm so frustrated. I wondered if anyone else has been in this situation and how they handled it. Is there any hope for us?

My husband & I have been trying to have a baby for the past six months and I even try to have sex on my fertile days and I even try to having sex every other days and we cannot seem to conceive. Every month I get disappointed. I am 30 & he is 35.posted 06/18/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I've been trying for 2months and all i get is disappointments. I'm trying to conceived but it seems impossible, i guess i took too long to try again, my only child is 8years old.posted 05/14/2013 by aden123$#
After trying for 2 years, I finally felt some depression creeping up on me when my period starts today. I am naturally happy and my friends love me because I can take almost any jokes in good humor. Infertility however floored me so bad. My hubby suffers from high white blood cell. This is not really a big fertility issue but we just cannot conceive and months became years... I grew more and more dis-interested with sex. My mother instinct grew and saddens me more worrying I will never have a child. I even started thinking maybe it's not just hubby's high wbc. Maybe I have some undiagnosed problem too... I grew suspicious of my own health because unlike so many of you, I have clockwork and painless menses but never ever conceived before... Not even a chance of having a positive pregnancy test or chemical pregnancy. Really upset.posted 05/06/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
To make this short, my husband & I started trying to conceive from the time I was 24 to no avail. Doctors said everything was fine w both of us. We decided to go about our lives and not do I've etc. well when I turned 35 I went on the bc patch to help bad periods. I missed a period. My sister said it was from the patch. My girlfriend said take a test to make yourself feel better and not stress about it. Well I was soooo glad I took my friends advice. I took a test and to my Surprise it was positive!! We had a beautiful miracle boy when I was 35! After trying on our own for 11 YEARS!! So we are proof that it CAN happen! Don't lose faith, be positive and sometimes all it takes is to try and not think about it constantly. Almost 5 yrs after our first son was born, we had our second beautiful boy when I was at the age of 40! And he didn't come easy as well. We tried for 3 yrs to have him as we'll! I wish all of you much luck and send many prayers your way! It CAN HAPPEN!!posted 12/11/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
My dh and I tried for over a year after I had surgery to get rid of my endometriosis (of course it's only temporary) Nothing happened. Finally we decided that all the stress was too much for us. I was taking pills, getting shots and then getting depressed every time my period would show up. Finally we decided to just put it in God's hands...which we should have done from the start! We decided we would just save our money and when we had enough we would decide wether or not to do IVF or adopt. Meanwhile we wouldn't use protection and if it happened great, if not, then it just wasn't meant to be. We made that decision in March. At the end of April, 5 days before my period was due to come, I conceived my dd. I know it was that day because we only had sex twice that month (we were tired). That weekend that we conceived I somehow managed a 4 day weekend (I was in between jobs) and since I wasn't worried about making a baby any more I was totally relaxed. My dd is 21 months old now and we are ttc#2. It has been 6 months now. We haven't done any charting or anything, just stopped using protection and we're going to see what happens. IF we are meant to have another I know God will bless us. He has a plan and he always takes care of us...even when we don't think He is. Good luck!!! Oh, I too took some herbs. I was still taking them the month I conceived simply because they had other benefits. I don't know if that may have helped too.posted 11/19/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
My hubby and I tried and as soon as we stopped trying boom! Babies out the wazoo! Lol ok only two but still. The stress u put yourself under trying to conceive may be the culprit. Relax, and let it happen don't MAKE it happen. Hope this helps. :)posted 08/19/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Yes exactly the same. We prayed. After ten years....I got pregnat...within four years we got three children. Hang in there.posted 05/22/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
same here with my preganacyposted 04/02/2010 by valerie44
I want to encourage you: everything is going to be alright. While you are waiting try to keep yourself busy doing things that would be hard for you to do if you did have children like go on a cruise at the spare of the moment, or seek a higher education, or take a bath instead of a shower. You could even join a big sister or big brother program. My husband & I tried to have kids for two years, and had two unsuccessful pregnancies, and now we have 3.5 biological kids with no medical assistance (it was the LORD's doing). Be encouraged.posted 02/17/2012 by tonyanicole77
I completely understand how you feel. Its so upsetting for me every time I get my period. My husband had a vesctomy before I met him, that time of the months is just devestating.posted 02/15/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

A national survey on the prevalence and social consequences of the substance use among second cycle and out of school youth
Drug abuse has become a global phenomenon affecting almost every country though the extent and characteristics vary depending on the country in question. The most commonly used and abused substances are cigarettes, cannabis, cocaine and alcohol. Alcohol and other related problems are becoming more and more a public health concern and they represent one of the leading causes of preventable death, illness and injury.
The substance abuse problem in Ghana is no different from other countries though there may be variations in the magnitude of the problem. It is difficult to say when it actually became a problem in Ghana, currently; use and abuse of drugs have expanded to include the youth.
In August 2003, WHO funded a study to determine the prevalence and social consequences of substance use among the youth in Ghana. Any evidenced - based intervention programme directed at empowering the youth to stay away from drugs cannot be effectively designed without a baseline data providing evidence on the existing problem and the extent to which the youth are falling victims to substance abuse.
The objective of the study is to provide baseline information on the prevalence of substance use among the youth in Ghana as well as its social consequences so as to advise Public Health Organizations, NGOs, Private and Government Institutions interested in designing suitable programmes aimed at protecting youth against substance use.

Entirely Real Photos: What's It Like At A Rockettes Rehearsal?
By Linda Holmes
I have no particular wisdom about this photo; I just think it's interesting to see that the Rockettes are never not regimented. I thought maybe you'd be allowed to wear your own dance clothes, but it makes sense that they'd want to see the effect of everyone looking the same, even in practice. These women work hard.

Potential Linked Credit Plan (PLP) for Tiruvannamalai district prepared by the NABARD says that there is a potential for bankers in the district to lend as much as Rs.1,637.7 crore to priority sectors during the next fiscal, 2012-13.
PLP gathers importance as it forms basis for allocation of lending targets for various bank branches in the district when drafting Annual Credit Plan for 2012-13.
Collector Anshul Mishra released the PLP at the Collectorate on Thursday. S.T. Sudarsan, Assistant General Manager, NABARD, Tiruvannamalai district, in a release said the PLP has been finalised after consulting several State government departments, bankers and NGOs operating in the district.
"The PLP has been prepared taking into account the present and future infrastructure, policy initiatives of the government, thrust areas identified for development and the strengths and weaknesses of financial institutions. It also highlights the initiatives and support required to realise the potential," Mr. Mishra said.
Bankers in the district, including119 branches of the 22 public/ private sector banks, four branches of Pallavan Gramin Bank (A Regional Rural Bank), Tiruvannmalai District Cooperative Bank functioning through a network of 26 branches and 159 Primary Coop Credit Societies and eight branches of Tamil Nadu Cooperative Agricultural and Rural Development Bank, could convert the potential into credit opportunity, Mr.Sudarshan said in the release.
"The projection for 2012-13 shows an overall increase of 22 per cent over the current year's credit plan target of Rs.1339.38 crore fixed for the banks," he said.
Being predominantly an agricultural district, farm sector's share in the credit potential as per the PLP is Rs. 1121.45 crore (68.5%).
Potential for giving term loans for making agriculture based investments is put at Rs.277.77 crore.
Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector has been predicted to have potential for receiving Rs.62.3 crore lending (3.8%). The PLP envisages that other priority sector loans like retail trade, small business, educational loans, housing loans, consumer loans etc. could be given to the tune of Rs.226.17 crore.

Furthermore, our elected representatives spend an inordinate amount of time they are supposed to be serving the public, instead raising money for the next election. We should not be paying the salaries of representatives while they romance lobbyists and big donors.
If we want public servants to serve with integrity, we must offer them a more dignified alternative to fund elections. As for gerrymandered districts, clean candidates would be able to run competitive campaigns in districts that generally would be completely left alone by big-money and even the parties. Having challengers even in highly stacked districts would strengthen political discourse and give the voters a true choice in every district.
With these and other benefits of Prop. 89 I hope that all Californians will fight to stop political corruption and vote yes in November.
Susana Hegstrom
Newport Beach
Level the playing field
You dismiss efforts to "level the playing field" that allowed "candidates without access to big money to compete" and that center "campaigns on ideas rather than money."
From your "Orwellian newspeak" one can only conclude that:
•You endorse an unfair, uneven political playing field.
•You endorse only candidates who have access to big money.
•You endorse centering campaigns on money rather than ideas.
Where has your critical thinking gone?
Turn from your own big money/power-broker mentality and seriously consider the common sense of public funding.
